The two boys remained watching the remainder of the night, and on examining the flock by daylight, they found several of the sheep bitten and one dead.

The next morningr they Wcro to go and see the effect, and if any carefully to place it in a tree out of reach of .Ictsum and Flotsum.

Nipper was now a perfect, master of the stock-whip. and Toby had all summer been practicing the lashion, with the womern, or throw- ing stick. He was marching along with his spear in his handâ€"~21 very handsome and sharp spear of the fragrant myal wood, and Nipper carrying a number of the lovely skins of the small chinchillu-colored flying squir- rel, when, all at once, there was a terrible noise just ahead of them, as of men quarreling and horses pranc- ing, Ttie dogs in a moment darted forward, as if the perceived a voice they knew in distress, and Nipper and Toby sprang after them. The home increasedâ€"there Was a sound of struggling and stamping of horses as if suldcnly reincd in, and the next moment loud, licrcc oaths and threats cfdeuth were heard; the next instant the two boys saw their master beset by three fellows on horSeback, who had pistols in their hands. while Mr. Liissetter, with his riding whip, having the lash held fast by the handle, was whirling it about . his head, and striking at the villains’ faces.

The bushriingcrs’ steeds, thus sud- denly wounded from behind, started forward, dashed ptist Mr. Lassetter on each side, and went off unman- ageable. One of’ the riders was borne with great force against a leanâ€" ing tree, and hurled to the ground, where he lay as dead; the other,l’ol- lowed by the third, was galloping away at full speed. .

Bang! bang! went the reports of his revolver, as he gave chase. The boys could see the arm of one of them drop useless by his side; but he still rode on.

He says:â€" "I‘he other day I touched at Up- otipotpon, the Station of our worthy l l l l l "ihc colony. clouds alth dinner, be {old me much about these young men. Nipper and Toby were each engaged to one of the young ladies. According to Mr. Liisscttcrls coconut, there were never two such accomplished stockmen us Nipper and Toby. They weic as likely to be" wealthy as any men in Toby had sent his mo- ther one hundred pounds a-yeui‘ for the last three years, and now she, and her daughter, and’Jiick, are com- ing here. '1 lie Captain, 'I‘oby’snnclc, came up to see him on his last voy- age, and could scarcely believe his eyes. ‘ Who could haVe thought it now, that that bit of a lad should 1 make such a l'ortune,’ he said. Toby gave him a good opossum rug bor- dered with the spotted fur bf the wild cat, to keep his bed warm round Cupe‘Horn,‘and the old follow says he really thinks he shall come and live out here too, after another voy- age to India. As for Nipper, he scarcely-knows a creature it. his nu- tivc land; and he is, body and soul, aboshma-n. » -‘And yet,’~said-thc squatter, ‘these lads have been very near ruining me.’ ‘ Heaven forbid,’ said I. ‘It was so, though,’ said the squat- ter, lookit'ig mysterious. ‘ Do you know, uflei'vI had sent Nipper once or twice with the cattleto the dig- giiigs, what should he and Toby d(). but begin digging for gold, on the sly, here. Ay, and find it, tooâ€"â€" mind, it’s a profound secret; mind, you are on honor, ch 1’ I nodded. ‘ \Vliztt should they do but find gold on this station? Gold! and in such quantities, heaven preserve me! Up cumc Nipper to me, and tells it, as if it were the greatest good luck. ‘ Bless thee, lao !' SiIld Iâ€"riiy heart seemed to stand stockstillâ€"J dost thou know that you have ruined me 1" ‘ Ruined !’ said he, ‘ what, with loads of gold 1’ ‘ Yes, ruined me, out and out.

We’ll go and cover all up, and nobody will be the wiser.’ ‘Away we went. There was. and grubbing likc ’ His hair was not red only, he was red all over with the (gravel, and then the fOOIiSll young dog, was throwing out nug- gets a‘s'bigfas turnips, one after unoâ€" ther,"till my blood ran cold. a . To work we went, covered all in, trod it down, ltIltI fresh turf, watered it, and completely swept all the gravel away. To prevent anybody yet spying out the place, we felled a tree so as to fall on the spot, and cover it snugly with its thick masses of leaves. Not a whis- per have we breathed about it; out it thought it only right to make the lads partners in the run to bind them to secrecy; and here we sit now on I don’t know how many millions worth of goldâ€"â€"but scvaral millions, to a ccitaintv. Someday it will come out. There’s no help for it. How the prospectei‘s have yet miss- ed it, heaven knows. But some day, you’ll hear a pretty ‘ noration ’ about the Upotipotpon diggings. Well, well, I have bought twelve thousand acres here, and nobody shall dig so long 181 can prevent it.~ Lorri, sir, what can all the gold in the world do to make amends for the ruin of such a paradise as this ?’ ‘ Truc,’ said I; "and,.-'so for as I am. concerned, it? will be many a day before-’the Upotipotpon diggings break out. But never nguin,’ 1 ad- ded, smiling, "let any one into the secret, for I won’t answer for any- body but myself keeping it.-’ ‘ Oh,’ said Ltissctte‘r, graSpiug my arm, ‘ don’t believe it. I know my man, all’s as safe as the day of judg- ment with you. And now, my friend, I have blai'bbed to you, but you’ll let it go no further; for, except our- selves, we can trust no one now-a- duysf Pressing the hand of the wertliy squatter, in acknowledgment of the faith put in me, I mounted and rode home'wurds, thinking much on the way of his story of N ippcr and Toby". But I have my fears that the squat- ter was again too imprudent over his pipe, for I. have already heard more than Whispers that his station is actually standing on solid gold; my, the other day a nugget weigh- ing several youuds weight, the idcu- IICill one that Lusscttci‘ showed me, i beheld in the hands of a member of the council, who said, knowingly, that there would be pretty doings one day wlicrc thatcume from.

The' conditions necessary for suco‘ cess in the cultivation of plants in} the house, are plenty of air, and a} moderate temperature. A room With a southern exposure is the best, as‘ aflbrdiiig more sunlight than any other, but an eastern or western exâ€"‘ posure will answer. In rooms‘ heated by coal stoves, or by hot-air furnaces, plants will not flourish, although they may live. Ono reas- son for this is thiit rooms heated to‘ a temperature sufficiently high for comfort, say 65" or '70", are too hot for plants, from 40° to 50“ being. the proper temperature for all green}; house plants. The best room iir :which to keep them is one without fire, but opening'into‘ another in which the. fire is’ kept, so that in' case the weather is very severc,and: thereis danger of frost in the plant room, the door may be thrownope‘ri‘l into the stove roomcnd the temper-i titurc raised sulllcicnily. In this- manner, with judicious munagcn’tcnti with regard to airing and watering, and vigilance in guarding against» the attacks of insects, plants may be kept in fine health and vigor, and ‘ with pinch satisfaction to the? owner.
