Confound moose-hunting! cried Hie doctor, looking round to the rest of us; who were much of his opinion, as we stood there; with the (Show gifting down throughthe bare forest branches and rattling inclemently on the dried leaves. \Ve were, we judged, somewhere in the town of Grafton, Maine, on the head waters of Bear River, a tributary of the Androseogin. We had come up the day before, with hounds, after a moose re- ported to have been seen some miles be- low. Yesterday had been a beautiful Indian summer day, the last of its race ; for winter had now burst down upon us with hail and snow, driven by the cutting northeast wind, which sighed and howled with November dreariness through the leaden forest. ‘ By George !’ cried Brown. ‘ This is tougher than anything I saw in the ser- vice! Twenty miles in such a storm as this 1’ ‘ No use grumbling ; you would come, you know; may as well make the best of it,’ said Sanders. ‘But we’ve got a long tramp; so let’s be off.’ The moose had fared much better than his hunters, for, after leading us off stea- dily into the wilderness, he had now left us to get back the best way we could in storm and darkness. Our party consisted of five; the ‘doc- tor,” a young medical student, just out of school and never in the woods before; Brown, a returned cavalry man, my bro- ther Tom and myself, then boys of fif- teen, and lastly, Sanders, an old back- woodsmau who, in his younger elays,had been a, river-driver, but latterly a hunter and trapper. ’Twas a queer party, eol- leeted rather hastily, to gratify the doc- tor’s ill-timed enthusiasm to hunt a moose. Sanders was the only one possessing the slightest knowledge of Woodcraft. For two or three hours we tramped on steadily, following down the river, and consoling ourselves, as best we might, with the reflection that, provided we didn’t get lost, we should get down to some farmhouse by midnight, possibly. It was now past five o’clock, and getting} quite dark, when we suddenly noticed that the forest lightened up ahead, and a. few moments later we came out into a i‘ large opening on the stream, containing al big building of some sort. [ ‘ O, twenty 1111105, or tl‘legjeabout,’ re- plied Sanders, laughing grimly. ‘ U-ugh I N o doubt!’ exclaimed the ‘ doctor,’lshivexing. ‘But how far is it down to the settlement, for 2'» guess?’ It was now past five o’clock, and getting quite dark, when we suddenly noticed that the forest lightened up ahead, and a. few moments later we came out into a large opening on the stream, containing a big building of some sort. ‘ Hurrah !’ shouted the doctor; ‘ there’s a house.’ ‘ Not a house, exactly,’ said Brown, straining his eyes to reconnoitre. ‘ I should call that a barn.’ ‘ Hay-farm here, I guess,’ said San- ders ; where they cut hay for the logging camps. No house here.’ ‘ No light, anyway,’ said Tom. ‘ Well, then,’ cried the doctor, striking All this, with an instantaneous rush for the other end of the floor, in fact, another blind and unintentional run on ‘ the already maddened animal, which had gone there just ahead of us. This time [the creature sprang at the doctor full I tilt, knocking him against somebody else. Another outrageous panic followed.~â€" :Everybody kicked and struggled at ranâ€" dom. And amid shouts, barks,’ growls ‘and spits, the beast got through the lcrowd somehow, and escaped up the side of the mow. ‘ ‘Order! Order I’ roared Sanders, \ above the outcry. ‘ Now just stand still I , Stand still everybody, till we get a light.’ ‘ A regular northeaster !’ said old San- ders. ‘ We may as well get out of this. ’Twill be colder than Biter by morning!’ A Night in the Oid Barn on Bear River.

Scotland Yet‘ 39mm My foot hit somethingâ€"pretty hand! There was a spit, a grow], and the flash of two fiery eyes in the blackness! In my fright and surprise I executed a roll- iig leap over Brown, who lay next tome, and landed plump on the doctor. Up jumped the doctor, pitching we down into the hay at his feet. As yet, none had spoken, but the following 1nquiries inâ€" stantly broke out in the dark: ‘ Halloo 1’ from the deetor. ‘What’s up ?’ from Brown. ‘Wildcatsl Wildcats !7 screamed I, scrambling in the hay. ‘ Halloo !’ from old Sanders, waking Knowing the creature was on my side, leaped over toward the other, ran against Brown, was taken for the wildcat, and got a knock which sent me sprawling in the hay again. The scratching and rustling continued, working up nearer; but I waited for a good chance. ‘I’Il fix you, old fellow,’ thought I, and lay motionless till I felt What I took to be his finger nails pit ch- ing up my trowser leg; then I kicked out at a venture, hoping to pay him for his untimely antics. ‘ ‘ What’s the matter ?’ from Tom. ‘ Catamounts I Wildcats !’ I voci- fera‘ted. ‘Here he is!’ yelled Brown. ‘Here he is! Out with your knives !’ I don’t know how long we had been asleep, when all at once I woke with a jump and in considerable alarm. Some- thing was snufling and scratching through the hay down at my feet. I was sure I felt claws on my boot. It took me .1 moment to recollect where-I was, and it then flushed into my mind that the doctor was playing of another of his jokes (he was always at it) to frighten me. '5 here was an instant scrabble I Every- body was on his feet in no time! Gusts of hay flew about ! Everybody ran toward the door to push it open, all together, and actually ran square unto the cat, which _ had also started for the door. A tornado of spits and snarls arose ; the creature bit and dug away right and left, slitting open pant legs, snapping its teeth, and tripping up nearly the Whole party in its struggle among our legs. The hounds rushed in to complete the uproar, while voices not identified cried all at once: ‘ Git out !’ ‘ Ste-boy l’ ‘ Grit out !’ ‘ Don’t strike here !' ‘ ‘v ’ho you kicking?’ ‘ Avast that knife !’ from Sanders. ‘ For God’s sake, keep that gun ofi‘ my head 1’ from Brown. ‘ Strike a light; ! Strike :1 light I’ cried Sanders; with ‘ Open the door! Open the door 1’ from the doctor. It wouldn’t do to kindle a fire in there, and nobody wanted one enongh to build it out in the snow; so we divided the remainder of our ‘ cold bite"in the dark, and, after eating it, shook down a bed of the hay and turned in side by side, with a beautiful eoverlet of the same material. For a long time we lay talking and con- gratulating ourselves in our comfortable bunk, till, after a while) first Brown, then the doctor, and soon after Sanders began snoring drowsily, Tom took up the chorug and I didn’t listen much longer. ‘ Hold 0n !‘ Don’t stabl’ I shouted. “You are Wrong, all wrongl’ We (lodged in, however. and contrived to secure the reckless old door by stand- ing a piece of timber slantingly against it on the outside. There was a large quantity of hay stored within. The scaffolds and mows were filled up ‘to the ‘high beams,’ and there was also a lot lying loose on the floor. Ye all followed; any sort of a shelter was a godsend on such a night, and we were soon stumbling round the corner of :1 great deserted structure of rough boards looming up lonesomely amid the whirling snow, With one of its ‘ great doors’ swing- ing and banging with dismal slams. out across the clearing, ‘ in lack of a house, we will try a barn.’ 'eefy, Esq. The fur was of a beautiful stone-gray coldr, fading into white upon thé under parts of the body. The skin was unani- mously voted to the ‘ doctor,’ as he had suffered most, to keep as a momento of our night in the 01d barn on ,Bear River. It was a large specimen of what San- ders called a ‘ bob-eat,’ which is the Can- ada Lynx of the naturalists. It had pros bably been in the barn when we went in, having gone, like ourselves, to get shelter from the storm. Our noisy entrance had, doubtless, given it quite a surprise, and being of an inquisitive sort of mind, it had come down, after all was quiet, to idvestigate, with the results before men- tinned. W hatever your calling, be proud of it. If you are a shoemaker, try to make a better shoe than any other man can make. Yes, whatever your trade or profession, excel in it if you can. If you like the free life and honest labor of’a farmer, do not drag out long years in the study of law or medicine, for that would only be “ vanity and vex- ation of spiritfy but go immediately to the farm, and in the life you love enjoy that perfect peace of‘ mind peculiar to every individual that feels he is in his forte, doing What God designed he should, who will never have to realize that cold, humiliating and sickening feeling that his life has been a failure. Suffer not that feeling to grow over you, but be up and doing, Look well to the ways of your footsteps. Keep clean the house of clay in which_God has placed you. Taste not, touch not that which will corrupt. G0 not to your grave a composition, one third whiskey, oneâ€"third tobacco, and the remainder corruption, so filthy that even the ghouls and ravenous worms would scorn to touch Bear in mind that any kind of honest labor is honorable, but choose well. “In whate’er you sweat indulge your taste.” Meanwhile, somebody had struck out at random and laid the doctor flat for a moment; and somebody else had hit a dog, who was lamenting piteously. But order was at last restored, and another splinter lighted, when the creature was found to be stone dead in the hay. you Be true to yourself. Deal honestly and fairly with your fellow-men. Re- member that Doublless the p‘.easure is as great In being cheated as to cheat. ‘Givc me,’ says Stephens, ‘the money that has been wasted in war, and I will purchase every foot of land on the globe. I will clothe every man, woman, and child, in the attire that kings and queens, might be proud of. I will build a school- house upon every valley over the habit- able earth. I will supply that school house with a competent teacher; I will build an academy in every town, and endow it; a college in every State, and fill it with able professors ; I will crown every hill with a church consecrated to the promulgation of the gospel of peace; I will support in its pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sab- bath morning the chime on one hill shall answer to the chime on another all around the earth’s circumference; and the voice of prayer and the song of' praise shall ascend, and the smoke of a. univer- sal holocaust shall ascend to heaven.’ Matches were fumbled out and struck, but that only seemed to make the dark- ness denser, till Sanders found some pine splinters on the floor, which he lighted. Putting one of' these into the muzzle of his rifle, he thrust it upward, disclosing an animal larger than the hounds, crouch- ing on the high beam. ‘ There he is l' cried Tom. ‘Take your gun, Brown,’ said Sanders ; ‘ but no, you hold the torch and let 'me shoot.’ Darkness reigned, and such a scrim- mage as followed there on the narrow floor! I remember jumping frenziedly backword upon some one, who pitched pitched me headlong again with my face flat on the creature's horrible fur l but it didn’t move, and I have no doubt was already dead. Brown took the torch, and Sanders, taking up the gunfired. The cat yowled, and, bounding 01f sidewise from the beam, came sailing down toward us with its claws spread out. Brown jumped aside to get out of the way. 'ihe splint fell out of the gun, on the the floor, putting 1t out; and down came the wounded beast, snapping and snarling, in the midst of us. The Money Wasted in War. Good Advice. It is stated in the Dublin Evening Postf~ that the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne are to vxsjt Ireland after'the marriage; and that the Marquis will be ofl'éred the Irish? Viceroyalty. The number of bankrupt peers i's starf- ling. The Duke of Newcastle led the way" and after him came the Earl of Winchelsea,- the Earl of Orkney and Lord de Morley,» while an attempt- was made, though an un-‘ successful one, to include Lord- Martyn in the list. There must also be added Lord Courtenay, the son and heir of the Earl of, Devon. who in due course will inherit the’~ title. Lord de Marley's debts are said to‘ amount to £400,000; the Duke of Newcastlé stands indebted to the amount of half a"- mlllion. These are great scandal!» Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, avd it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands that some fellow, by good luck, holds on to it. Ex-Queen Isabella has sent her formal. protest from Geneva against the election of the Duke of Aosta. as King of Spain‘ Shet states she has no intention of appealing to“ force, and it would be of little use if 8116' did. The political factions in Spain are reporti- ed to be violently attacking General Prim and the party supporting the Duke of Aosta; Their opposition will probably decrease it} time, as the young King becomes better ap- preciated. A coachman, residing with a gentleman‘ in the neighborhood of Kesnick, received a- telegram the other day containing the'weI- come intelligence that, on account of the death of an uncle, he was heir to £40,000 together with a mansion and large estate.
