Father. father come quickly!
a huge porcupine. a most enor-
nous porcupine!"
Sure enough, the dogs we're
rushing round and round a por-
cupine, and having attempted TO
seize it, were already severely
wounded by it's quilts. Each time
they came near, the creature, with
a rafting noise, bristled up its
spines.
Somewhat to my amusement,
while we were looking at the cur
ious defense this creature was
making, little Jack stepped close
up to it, with a pocket pistol in
his hand, and shot it dead, max
ing sure of it by a couple OF hear
ty raps on the head and then
giving way to a burst of boylsh
exultation, he called upon us to
help convey his prize to his moth
er. This it was not by any means
easy to do. Sundry attempts re-
suited in bloody fingers, till Jack,
taking his pocket handkerchief,
and fastening one corner round
it's neck, ran off, dragging it az
ter him to where his mother
awaited us.
'Hullo, mother! here's a jolly
beast, isn't it? l shot it, and it's
good to eatl Father says so! |
only wish you had seen how 1t
terrified the dogs, and heard the
rafting and rustling Of it's spines.
Oh. it is a fearful creature!"
Ernest, examing it carefully,
pronounced it's incisor teeth, its
ears and feet, to resemble those
of the human race, and pointed
out the curious crest of stiff
hairs on it's head and neck.
81 have read of another ispe-
cies,p said he, "called the tuft-
tailed porcupine, which must be
ever more curious looking than
this is. 1t has short, flat quills,
and a scaly tail ending in an ex-
traordinary tuft, like a bunch OF
narrow strips Of parchment. IL
cannot be such a d~isagreeable en-
envy to encounter as this fellow
Were you not afraid, Jack,
asked l., Test the porcupine
should cast some of his quilts like
darts at you?"
"Of course not" returned he,
81 know well enough that is moth
ing but a tablet"
"A tablet" said 1; why look
at your mother! she is drawing
five or six spines out of each Of
the dogs!"
"Ah. those stuck into them
when they so fiercely fell upon
it in their attack. Those are the
shortest quills, and see very
fixed in it's skin. The long quills
bent aside when Juno pressed
against them"
you are perfectly right, my
boy" said 1; there is no truth
in the old idea of shooting out
the spines. But now, shall we
leave this prickly beast Of yours,
or attempt to take it with u.s."
ooh, please father, let us take
it. Why, it is good to eat!"
Smiling at the child's eager
ness, and willing to please him,
| made a somewhat awkward
bundle of the p%oreupine, wrapping
it in several folds OF cloth, ana
added it to the donkey's load.
Our party then resumed the
march. which, with little Interrupt
ton. was continued steadily, I'M
til we came in sight of our future
place of residence.
The wonderful appearance OF
the enormous trees, and the calm
beauty of the spot altogether, full
ly came up to the enthusiastic
description which had been given
me. And my wife gladly heard me
saw that, if an abode could be
contrived among the branches, II
would be the safest and most
charming home in the world.
