A NARROW ?SCAPE, Vit was during tho Moxioau war, when I was a sub, in a calvory regiment, that I found myself on duty at Yera Cruz. Tempted by, tho mountains nu tl tho vioinity, tho beautiful scenery, and abovo all, the superb bunting, I sallied forth early ono morqing accompanied by no ono savo my Newfoundland dog. "I waa an ardent sportsman, my double barrelled gun worked to a charm, and sot until tho doopeuing shades of evening, ac companied by an unmistakeable growl of thunder, did I give a thought to tho flight of timo or tho importance of retracing my steps to tito o'tty. "It was about tho limo that tho bloody thirsty and cowardly Canales had com manded that no quarter should bo grantod to tho bated Americans. "I had not anticipated danger from tho enemy, unless it might bo in tho shnpo of some small band of guerillas lurking amid tho mountain gorge, actuated moro by the kopo of plunder thau by patriotic motives, "I will not attcoipt1 ?o "'say how many thousand feet I was above tho level of thc SOO, but I found the elevation sufficient; over for tho tried nod practiced norves of a sea man, had he boen plaocd in my position. "Tbcro'is but little twilight in tho tropics Tito sun had disappeared ia tho fold of at immense cloud whioh was rapidly spreading itself over tho entire heaven?, while fron its sable depths darted lurid sheets o lightning, followed by tho increasing roar o thunder whioh already found an coho tbrougl tho mountain. "1 did not fancy a wot jacket, and whist ling for my dog, an animal to which I wa warmly attached, was OD the point of- re tracing my steps down the rough mountait road, when tho jingling of spurs and nocou tremente, thc trampling of horses and tin hoarse oom maud was sufficient for mot draw back into a tall tuft of grass and Spar iib beyond growing bcaido mo. AjTluYdog^prpuqhed at my feot, growlin ominously, na$ ccmsoious of tho danger hi mostor was in; and, faith, I did not niuo liko tho situation I fouud myself compeli? to face. '.'A number of Mexican lancers woi beforo mo, preparing to bivouac for tl night, and my retreat down tho road wi out of tho question. "High, precipitous rooks hemmed n io on thrco sides through whioh road I ht travolcd had been originally out. Tho oui let was now in possession of tho lancet white in front of mo tho stoop side, of tl mountain, verging almost on to a prcoipic slopod toward tho city. "To remain whero I vos would bo on to court death, a nameless futo, an unknow gravo, fpr discovery was certain to folio when tho sentinels should be posted. "Cautiously I examined the smooth sid? of tho prcoipioo, coverod hero and there t a net-work of vines clinging to tho orovio and rifts in the rook for its uncertain Hf Further un 1 behold a dark, irregular Iii disappearing in murky depths below, strained my eyes to tho utmost, for tl gloom of night and tho mists of I storm, whioh threatened ovory moment burst abovo my head, enveloped all objet in darkness and uncertainty. "But fortune favored mo, and I nev laid claim to being a favorito of tho fiel jade. Tho dark lino provod to bc a dec dry gully, tho channel of sumo mounto stream long sinco dried up. "But how tot reach tho friendly cove That was tho question whioh nuzzled mo. "A sudden commotion among tho ga} trapped gentry behind mo deoided my com of action. They hal kindled a small cam Aro, woro about to oook their evening mc und n dozen men-tall, strapping follows woro radiating from tho main body in dill rent directions, to perform tho duty of sc tincls. . "One in particular was making for t friondly clump of wido sprouding limbs, hopes, possibly, to partially osoapo tho fie gusts of wind and rain whioh bad begun sweep about the mountain. "Dropping my fowling piece and biddi my noble dog to shift for "himself, 1 s wu myself over the prcoipioo, clinging to I network of vinos whioh shook and co plained bonoath my woight. "The darkness bad inoreasod with astc ishing rapidity, and as I swung over t rayloss void I found it impossible to pic tho gloom. I hoard tho short, sharp lu of my dog as ho dartod off in searoh of i then, amid thc rush of thc squall caine confused shouts of moo, a straggling s or two, mingling with tho crash of heavy artillery rolling io tho vast expa abovo mo. "Depending principally upon tho streu and endurance of my arms, 1 carefully t cautiously felt ;ny way along the vorgo the precipice, working in tho direotiot the gully, whioh, oooo gained, promisee afford mo moans of osoapo from tho dont whioh encompassed me. i "Broad shoota of lightning lit up v dazzling distinctness the fearful soi bringing out every crevice and blade grass; aud once, wneo I had found a sll support for my feet, and was giving nohing arma a rest, I glanced abovo o the yellow glare of tho lightning and bel * tho florae, dark-whiskered face of a Moxi Jeering o vor the brink, his oyen npparo .stoned upon mo as I hung susponded flattened against tho cliff, but a fow bolow bim, wliilo tho clootrioity twisted writhed, like tongues of infernal serpe around the muutie of hi? carbine. "It was a trying moment, my friend situation woll oaloulated to inspire a fee of terror in the heart of tho boldest, whether it was the rain, whioh was fal in torrente and driving furiously boforo ?resented tho lather from ?i>ooV??ii% nio, /?in unablo to lay.

Mt sooinod as if tho flood gates of heaven had been opened, aud tho tcuurglng wind, sweeping with terrible violence aroDod tho mountain, disputed every iuoh of tho \Vuy w.hioh I gained With tho Utmost difficulty, oftentimes threat ohing to tear mo bodily (Vom thoosoilating ladder wbioh had sorv?q mo BO wei). i'yVuih ,iaiu? u?'t "I had but little stroogth to spare when I at length found myself orouohing in tho I muddy bottom of tho old mountain gorgo, '.Tho earth yielded beneath my fcot, eaiid ?nd pobblos swirled by,1 ?od ria'ug above tho 3rash of tho clements I heard- the in> orouBing roar of some unknown torrent ns it Bwellod and gathered foroo far abovo me'.

"Tho incxornblo waters roso yet faster, and tho danger of tho tempest grew wildet still. My strength and oven my faculties wore failing fast, my feet wero lifted from bonoath mo, and qulokor than thought I was rushing helplessly along, enveloped amid tho spray and foam of that tnaddomug whirl.

J rallied my strength for a final effort. Tin next Hash revealed tho wreck of a trco with tho roots still olinging tenaciously ti tho sido of tho bank. "i drew myself up out of tho rush of tin current, and crawled to a firm foothold ot tito shelving bank of tho torront. '.Tho cool rain rovived mc. Thc torribl strain upon my nervous system had robbe? mo to a great extent of tho vitality nature to my strong constitution. But my powc of ouduranoo was groat. 1 stumbled foi ward, feeling roy way amid debris of falle trees, pltholcs and hugo rooks ali soattcre promiscuously about on thu steep sido c the mountain, until a faint glimmer of Hgt streamed tremulously across roy path. ! was a wei como sight, and, prisoner or n prisoner, I mado up my mind to risk lil and liberty, and demaud shelter from th storm, wbioh still raged, but gave signs < abating. "I was uuarmed; tho only weapon 1 hu sallied forth with lind boon abandoned c tho edge of tho, precipice, previous to ni attempting tho perilous passage 1 folt ir heart boat faster as I neared tho door of th tumble-down rauche, whioh loomed up, huge, shapeless moss, amid tho gloom ni solitude of that wild spot, "A moment's hesitation, and I knooki resolutely nt tho door.

'?'At that moment, to my surprise a astonishment, my faithful Nowfoundlai who, by some keen instinct of his natl ?ind succeeded in scenting me, burst in tho surrounding obsourity, testifying i joy by looping upon mo and baying in deep, poworful tones. "It was a welcome surprise to mo. felt that I had at least ono friend ur. whom I could rely in caso of an cmcrgcu "Tho man's appearance was indicative n mixturcd ferocity and cunning, while oyo, wild and unsettled, lit up with expression I could not fathom us he bi mo cu'.or.

"I felt tho blood coursing through my veins with ronowed .vigor as X looked tho situation square in tho faoe. My brain ?rew clearer us tho iuiminonoo of tho peril was iu grow myro.apparent. "Tho dying embers of the fire emitted fitful gleams which fell noioss tho arms of tho scoundrels piled promiscuously together io tho corner of the ranche.

"My four frionds had paused, thoir hands on their murderous knives, uncertain and undeoided how to act. They turned for on instant toward tho door, leaving mo to tako advantage of their stupidity. "When they again oonfroutod mo, I was in possession of the coveted corner, with o ritle to my shoulder, looking them grimly in tho faeo, while my dog, his hair brist ling with rogo, stood bruvoly beside mc, I displaying his white fangs to tho enraged gozo ot tho groosy four, "Knife bim, lads, before they oro atop of us.

"Curses on ye!" shouted tho leader, foaming with rogo, ns ho dashed forward, knife in hand. "Aro you afraid of tho ! Yonkce? I lot him in hore, aud this knife I shall give him permission to leave." Perhaps tho villain expected to shako my nerves, and cause mo to throw away my shot, but I never felt firmer, moro deter mined in my lifo, "Un ho ouuic, brandishing his knife, closely followed by his adherents. "I covered his loft breast with tho Bight of tho weapon, nod with tho roport thc scoundrel fell headlong to tho floor.

"It oxplodcd with tremendous violence, blowing off tho roof of tho house, rending tho walls asunder, and hurling mo to ono sido half suffocated and nearly insensible. "When I fully realized what was passing about mo, my own troops wero removing thc debris, ot thc ranche from my limbs, and ] tho Newfoundland was Hoking my faoc. "It was, us I supposed, a party sent out i n search of my unfortunate self; and they wcro returning from a bootless search, when tho roport of a rifle, followed by an explo sion and the glaro of flames attracted their attention. "Of course, my friend, wo mado short work of thc three miscreants who wo dragged forth from tho burning wreck. They howled vigorously for mercy, but that was uot to ho thought of in their case. A swing from tho nearest bough terminated their career, aud I rodo baok to Yera Cruz with my mind firmly mado up that during tho remainder of tho campaign, nothing should ever tempt mc to wonder alono among thc ; hills of Mexico in quest of game." TALLEY SEVERAL FOR TUB TOAD. Many gardeners already appreciate the val uable serviocs of tho common toad, and afford them protection from their insect destroying propensities, while os many moro perhaps uro ignorant of their useful ness. To tho latter class it may bo inter esting to know that toads livo almost wholly upon Slugs, caterpillars, beetles aud other insects, making their rounds at night when thc farmer is asleep-and tho birds too-and tho insects arc supposed to bo having it all their own way. English gar deners understand these fads so well that toad? aro purchased at so much a dozen and turned looso, and tho best of it is tho toads general ly stay at home, so tho gardener ia not troubled with buying his own toads over again every few days. Tho toad oan bo tamed and will oocy learn to know "ils master," and como when oallod; tho writer has not only had snob pots himself, but oould givo othor instnnoos of toad taming that havo como under his observation. Toads oan bo mado 'very use ful about tho house, and will do not a little good in destroying cockroaches, flies, and other household pests. They are sometime? known to ont worms, whioh they grasp by tho middle with thoir jaws, cramming in tho writhing ends of tho unfortunate artic ulates by moans of tho front foot. Insects aro seized and oonvoyod to tho mouth by means of tho rapidity darting tongue whioh always secures tho victim as it is about to fly or run away, j Laziness is a prematuro death. To bo in no action is not to livo. Hire yourself to somebody for a plough man-it will ouro ennui. Giro work rather than alms to tho poor.
