"This comes oi' shortcuts," I muttered to myself, as I plodded along, keeping close to the trunks of the trees 1 to avoid the ravine, through which I 1 could hear the roar of the turbulent 1 stream forty or fifty feet below. My ' blcod ran cold as I thought -what might ' be the possible consequence of a misstep or a move in the wrong direction. 1 Why had I not been contented to keep 1 in the ri^lit road ? Hold on 1 Was that a light, or are my ayes playing me false ? I stopped, holding on to the low, > resinous boughs of a hemlock that grew J on the edge of the bank, for it actually ! seemed that tho wind would seize rrik bodily and hurl me down the precipitous descent. Ti. - 11?1.1. 11 Y1 !J I _ ! I xi was a iJsul? mans jrroviuence : 11 was a light, and no ignis fatuus to lure me on to destruction ana death. " Hal!o-o-o !" My voice rang through the woods like a clarion. I plunged on through the tangled vinen, dense briers, and rocky banks, until, gradually nearing, I oould perceive a figure wrapped in an oil cloth cloak, or cape, carrying a lantern. As the dim light fell uj on his face, I almost recoiled. Would not solitude in the woods be preferable to the companionship of this withered, wrinkled old man ? But it was too late to recede now. 1 " What's wanting?" he snarled, with peculiar motion of the lips, that seemed to leave his yellow teeth all bare. " I am almost lost in the woods ; can j you direct me to R station ?" " Yes; R station is twelve miles from here." ' " Twelve miles!" I stood aghr.st. " Yes." " Can you tell me of any shelter I could obtain for the night?" " No." "Where are you going ?" #"To Drew's, down by the Maple ewamp." 1 " Is it n tavern ?" "No." " Would they take me for the night ? 1 I could pay them well." ( His eyes gleamed ; theyellow stumps : stood revealed once more. " I guess so ; folks don't stop there." " It is not far from here ?" " Not very; about half a mile." "Then make haBte and let us reach ! it. I am drenched to tne skin." We plodded on, my companion more 1 than keeping pace with me. Presently 1 we left the edge of the ravine, entering ' what seemed like a trackless woods, and keeping straight on until the lights gleamed tltfally throught the wet foliage. It -was a ruiuous old place, with the i windows all drawn to one 6ide, as if the foundation hnd settled, and the pillars a rude porch nearly rotted away. A woman answered my fellow-traveler's knm;k. My companion whitpered a i word or two to her, and Bhe turned to me with smooth, voluble words of welcome. She regetted the poverty of her accommodations; but I was welcome to them, such us they were. "Where is Isaac?" demanded my guide. " Ho is not come in yet." I sat down on a wooden bench beside the lire and ate a few monthfuls of bread. " I should like to retire as soon as possible," I said, for my weariness was txcftpfeive. " Certainly." The woman started up with alacrity. "Where are yon going to put him ?" asked the guide. >" Up chamber." "Put him in Isaac's room." "No." * "it's the most comfortable," "I tell you 'no.'" But here I interrupted the whispered colloquy. . i "I am not particular?I don't care ] where you lodge me, only make haste." i So I was conducted up a steep ladder i that stood iu the corner of the room into 1 apartment, ceiled with sloped beams J and ventilated by one small window, i where a cot-bedstead, crowded close ] against the board partition, and a pino f table, with two or three chairs, formed i tho sole attempts at furniture. The womau set th6 light?an old oiJ ] lamp?on the table. } " Anything more I can give, sir?" < "Nothing, thank you." t "At four o'clock io the morning,, if { you please, I must walk over to B-? t station ia timo for the seven o'clock ex- 1 press." a *' I'll be sure to call you, sir." i 8ho withdrew, leaving me alone'in a the gloomy little apartment. I sat down t with no very agreeable sensation. r " I wil! sit down aud write to Alice," t 1 thought; " that will soothe my nerves s and quiet me, perhaps." ? I descended tho ladder; the fire still 1{ glowed redly on tho hearth beneath; a my companion and the woman sat be- ? sio'e it, talking in a low tone, aud a third 1 person sat at tho table eating, a Bhort, * stout, villainous looking man, in red i s flornel shirt end muddy trousers. a I asked for writing materials, and c returned to my room to write to my t wife. } My dear Alice "? i " I paused and laid down my pen as I c concluded tho words, half smiling: to | think what f-ho won Id pay could she know of my strange quarters. Not till both Bheets were covered did . I lay aside my pen and prepare for i 1 slumber. As I folded my paper 1 hap- j pened to glance toward the couch. ! ( Was it the gleam of a human eye ob- j j serving me through the broad partition, i ] or was it my own fancy ? There was a < crack there, but only black darkness , beyond, yet I conld have sworn that , something had sparkled balefullyat me. , I took out my watch. It was one | o'clock. It was scarcely worth while j for me to undress for three hours' sleep. , I wonld lie down in my clothes and \ snatch what slumber I could. So, placing my valise at the head of my bed, j; and barricading the lockless door with : J two chairs, I extinguished the light and ( lay clown. j j At first I was very wakeful, but grod- |, ually a soft drowsiness seemed to steal i j over me like a misty mantle, until all , j of a sudden some startling electric thrill j j coursed through my veins, and I sat up, 1j excited and trembling. A luminous softness seemed to glow , through the room?no light of the moon !; or the stars was ever so penetrating? j and by the little window I saw Alice, I ( my wife, dressed in flouting garments j, of white, with her long, golden hair knotted back by a bine ribbon. Ap-i parently she waB coming to me with out- ' stretched handstand eyes full of wild, j anxious tenderness. | I sprang to my feet and rushed toward her; but as I redbhed the window 1 the fair apparition seemed to vanish i into the stormy darkness, and I was left J ilone. At the self-same instant the report of a pistol sounded; I oould Bee the jagged stream of fire above the pillow, straight through the very spot where, ten seconds since, my head had laiu. With an instantaneous realization of my danger, I swung myself over the edge of the window, jumping some eight or ten feet into tangled bushes below; find as I crouched there, recovering my | breath, I heard the tramp of footsteps into my room. 4>Is*he dead?" cried a voice up the ladder?the smooth, deceitful voice of the woman with the half-closed eyes. "Of course he is," growled a voice back; that charge would have killed ten mo-n A lioht. Hi or a nnirtk ? Arid tfll! Tom to bo ready." A cold, agonizing shudder rail through me. What a don of midnight murderers liad L fallen into! And how fearfully narrow bad been rr.v escape ! With the speed that only mortal terror can give, I rushed through tho ; wood, now illuminated by a faint glim- ! mer of starlight. I know not what im- I pulse guided my footsteps. I never shall know how mnny times I crossed j mv own track, or how cloFe I stood to the ravine; but a merciful Providence encompassed me with a guiding and protcctiug care, for when the morning dawned, faint, red bars of orient light against, the stormy eastern sky, I was close tothe high road, some seven j miles from R . Once at the town, I told my story to | die police, and a detachment was sent I with me to the spot. After much searohiug and many false alarms, we succeeded in finding the ruinous old house, but it was empty? jur birds had flown ; nor did 1 recover my valise and watch and chain.*which latter I had left under my pillow. " It's Drew's gang," said the leader of the polico, "and they've troubled us these two years. I don't think, though, they'll come back here just at present." Nor did they. But the strangest part of my story is yet to come. Some three weeks subsequently I received a letter from my sister, who was with Alice in h<;r English 'some?a letter whose intelligence tilled me with surprise. "I must tell you something very btrange," wrote my sister, ''that happened on the night of the 17th of October. Alice had not been well for some time; in fact, she had been confined to her bed for nearly a week, and I was Bitting beside her leading. It was late; j the clock had struck one, when all at once she seemed to faint away, growing white and rigid as a corpse. I hastened to call assistance; but all our efforts to restore animation were in vain. I was just about sendiDg for the doctor, when her sense? returned as suddenly as they had left her, and she sat Tip in bed, pushing up her hair an:! looking wildly around her. " * Alice,' I exclaimed, * how-you have terrified us all! Are you ill ?' " ' Not ill,' she answered, ' but I feel so strange. Grade, I have been with my husband!' "And all of onr reasonings failed to convince her of the impossibility of her assertions. She persists to this moment that she saw you and was with you on the morning of the*18th of October. Where and how she cannot tell, but we think it must have been in a dream. She is bett -r now. and I wish vou could 6ee how fast she is improving" This 16 my plain, tmv/uiiished tale. I do not pretend to explain or account for its mysteries. I Bimply relate facta. Let psychologists unravel the labyrinthical akein. I am not superstitions, neither do I believe in ghosts, wraiths or apparitions, but this thing I do know?that, although my wife was in England in i body on the morning of the 18th of! October, her spirit surely stood before 1 me in New York in the moment of the deadly peril that menaced me. It may be that to the subtle instinct and strength of a wife's holy love all things ire possible; but Alice surely saved my life.

" I kuow very little about the Africar elephant, bat one of the failings of the Asiatio kind is that in very hot weathei and under a severe physical strain he i? very likely to go mad; and, I can tell you, a mad elephant is a creature that the most curiouB student of the animal's habits had better contemplate from a distance. " Much of my Indian life waB passed in the station of Jubbulpore. The en terprising people there resolved to have an exhibition. Goods pourod in rapidly in bullock-wagons, on camels' backs and in various i-tlier ways, and rajahs and other Indian dignitaries, with suites oi attendants, journeyed from great die tances. "So far as I can remember, what I am speaking of happened in the latter part of 1866 or early in 1867. A young photographer, with whom I was acquainted, invited me to share his tent with him for a week or so on the exhibition grounds, where he intended to take views, and I gladly accepted the invitation. "Two nights before the exhibition opened we went out upon the grounds and found them covered with tents, and crowded with natives, who, for the most part, were attending upon elephants, bnllooks, camels and horses. It was a bright moonlight night, and we sat OLUUXWUg UUViO VUU v* vu* watching the cnrious 6cene before uh until nearly midnight. Then, the noise having gradually died away, we retired to our beds. "I had been asleep, perhaps, about an hour, ^ihen I was awafceRed by the beating of tomtcmB and the shouting of the natives outside. I jumped out of bed and ran to the door of the tent, where my friend was already standing. An elephant, with its trunk upraised, and trumpeting fiercely, wns rushing among the tents, occasionally striking a rope with his foot and snapping it like a pack thread. In front of <jur tect was an open space, and about thirty yards away was a large tree. Beside this tree ft man was standing. The elephant, if it*had not been swerved from its course; would" have passed about twenty yards from him; but when the brute was nearly opposite him, I saw the man stoop and pick up a large stone. I could hardly credit that he was going to throw it; but in another second there was no room for doubt that such was his intention. I called to him, in Hindoostanee, to drop the stone, and run into the tent, but he paid no attention to me. Then, aB the elephant wns passing he hurled the stone, and struok it on the side. The brute turned quickly, saw its assailant, and rashed at him. Even then, I think, there was time for him tc escape if he had run for the tent, aB 1 again shouted to him to do, for, though the brute would undoubtedly have brought the canvas down, we should probably have all escaped in the confusion. But turning quiokly toward me he placed his hand upon his forehead _ ill 1 1 - 1 J - /i 1.1. - ana uowoa iiiu neuu, Kuer luu niuiiiici ui the Hindoo who desires to express his gratitude by means of the all serviceable salaam, and then stood upright, apparently calm and collected, Doside tha tree. . '1 When the elephant was within four feet of him the man sprang quickly to the other side of the trunk. He had evidently calculated upon escaping his enemy by keeping the tree between them, but lie had altogether undervalued the brute's cunning. Quick as lightning the great animal altered its course, moved around the opposite side of the trunk, and in a second the ele phant and the man stood face to face. There was no human possibility of escape now, and the Hindoo knew that the last few sands of his life were rapidly running out. Like all of his race he was a fatalist, and even the terrible death that overshadowed him brought to him no terrors. Oalmly he crossed his hands over his bosom and bowed his head?to the inevitable. " It was all over in five seconds. The elephant raised his trunk higher than onrl at-mnlr n hnrripfl nwlrwftri] blow, hitting his victim, not with the lower end of the trunk, which is very tender, but., an fur as I could see, with his cheek or mruth. The man went down as though he had been felled with a cannon-ball, but immediately after he raised himself on his elbow and looked upward. For one second the brnto stood over him, and then dropped heavily forward, one masBive knee going down uponthaman's breast. "The elephant rushed away, trumpeting as before, and took refuge in some low hills in the neighborhood. We learned the next morning that he belonged to a rajah, who, in his anxiety to get early to tbe exhibition, had caused him to be overdriven, with a heavy load, until he was driven mad. 41 What we saw was only a small part of the damage ho did. He killed seven men that night, including his driver, who was, the first victim. My friend and I went in the morning to see the seven crushed bodies, which all lay under a single canvas sheet. For some time the natives standing around tried to persuade us not to uncover them, but a native constable concluded the argument by seizing the corner of the sheet and palling it to one Blue, xne laces were all calm and life-like, for a Hindoo, even nnder the most appalling conditions, rarely suffers himself to pass into the other life without composing hiB limbs and features. "The moment the natives standing around saw the uncovoml bodies a frenzy seemed to possess tbem. The men rn3hed to their tents, and presently "returned Tuth rusty old swords, flintlock pistols and bell-mouthed gun?. All these weapons they began to polish vigorously, with the intention of making immediate war upon the elephant. But Col. Spencer, the commissioner of the rttation, had already sent a party of Bengal iancers after him, and in the afternoon he was brought' back, with a bullet in one of his knees, and loaded with chains so arranged that he could be pulled to the gronnd at a moment's no tice if he showed any signs of rebellion. "The rajah who owned him attempt<vl to malm liffht of the matter, but a fine of something like 20,000 rupoes, levied by the governmept, induced him to take u more serious view of his brute's achievement." "Don't Pat it iu the Paper.'' " For heaven's sake I don't let it Ret into the papers," iB^he first cry of a person canght in a mean eorftpe. Keep it out of the papers and it is all right. No matter how contemptible or dishonest the position may be, or how much reason the offender may have for shame, remorse and contrition, if the circumstances can be kept from the " cormorants of the press," as the people who have good reason to be afraid of newspaper reporters sometimes call them, he is tranquil and happy. We are no champion for that extreme license of the press that is sometimes displayed, but we have noticed that the ones who cry out the loudest against newspaper disclosures aro generally thofee whose own liveB and acts would not bear very close inspection.

Uood Seed. . ,, , The great advantage of having plump and heavy as well as fresh seed for any crop is now so generally known and fully acknowledged that additional proof seems a superfluity. Yet some specific and formal experiments have lately been made by Mr. A. 8. Wilson to test Mr. Darwin's opinion in regard to this, and the results are given in the transactions of the Edinburgh Botanical society. Mr. Wilson ohose turnip Beeds as a subject of test; and the mean of a large number of experiments gave the proportion of thirty-nine ounces of product to the seed, in the case of large seeds, to thirty-three and one-quarter ounces, in the case of small ones. Tbis is but a repetition of the truth of tho universal proverbs in favor of a good beginning. Our crops of all kinds have greatly improved since the growing of seeds of I different sorts have been made more and mora of a specialty. The general gardener has too jjreat a diversity of cares to render it possible for him to give e^ery seed.plant tho best care; to see not only to its strength, vigor, health and freedom from insects, blights, droughts and other sources of injury; but, besides these, to attend to ihe equally important care of rednoing in good time tho number of blossoms, so that those that are left to fill may have abundant nutriment, and avery opportunity of appropriating it.?New York Tribune. M A ~ in on y Agt*. I Few men die of old age. Almost all | die of dipap'pointment, passion,men tal ; or bodily toil or aocident. Passion bills I men Hometines, even suddenly. The ! comm-n egression, choked with pasj sion, has Lttle exaggeration in it; for i even though not suddenly fatal, strong ' passions shorten life; strong-bodied | men often die yonng; weak.men live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength and tho weak have none to use. The latter take care of themselves, the former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the mind and temper. The strong are apt to break, or, like the candle, to run out. The- inferior animals, whioh live, in 1 general, regular and temperate lives, have generally their prescribed number of vears. The horse lives twentv-five L years; the ox fifteen or twenty; the lion about twenty; the dog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the Guinea-pig six or seven years. These numbers all bear a similar proportion to the time the animal takes to grow its full size. But ' man, of the animals, is one that seldom oomes up to this average. He ought to live a hundred years acoording to this physiological law, as five times twenty are one hundred; i but instead of that ho scarcely reaches, I on an averago, four times his growing > period; the cat six timeB, and the rabbit. oven eight times this standard of measurement.

Mr. Lawson jred considers variops grievances which the shopkeepers fiave, speaking of one as the follows: atB, "The final and the most important sept plea is the serions injury that is being tu? done to the shopkeepers themselves.

With a party of friends the lady had gone tc the ocean beach to view the stormangered waters, and while standing e little distance from her companions, near an immense tree trunk stranded or the beach, nearly washed by the waves, which, following each other, came higher and higher, she pointed to the sandt at her feet and repeated : " Thus fai sbalt thou come and no further." The next billow came with resistless force, lifted the trunk by her side, dashed il against her, and killed her. Eer companions fortunately recovered the body.
