The night of the 17th of October? shall I ever forget its pitchy darkness, the roar of the autumnal wind through the lorcat, aud the incessant d ?wn pour of rain ? 'This comes of short cut,' I muttered petulantly to myself, as I plodded along, keeping close to the trunks of tho trees avoid the deep ravine through which 1 could hear the ronr of a turbulent stream forty or fifty feet below. My blood run cold as 1 'bought of tho possible conse quences of a misstep or move in tho wrong direction. Why had I not been contented to keep in the right road ? Hold on ! Was that a light, or are my tyc*. phiying me false : 1 stopped, holding on to gthe low realuoua bougba of a hemlock that grew on (be edge of the bank ; fur it actually s< cmed us it the wind would seize me I odiiy nod hurl tue down the pr cipitous descent.

A* the dim light fell upon his face I ultu j>t recoiled. Would not solitude in the woods be preferable to the companion ship Id th? withered, wrinkled old m?u* ! Hut i? was too late to recede now. 'What's wanting,' he suarled forth, with a peculiar motion of the lips that seemed to leave his yellow teeth all bare 'I am lost in the woods; can you direct me to R--station V 'Yes ; R- stutiou i* twelve miles from here.' 'Twelve mil-s !' I btocd aghast. 'Can you tell me ol any shelter I could obtain for the night V ?No.' 'Where are you going V ? 'To Drew 8, dowu here by the maple swamp.' ?Is it a^tavern V 'No.' 'Would they take me for a night ? I could pay them well.' His eyes gleamed ; the yellow stump.* Stood reveal* d once no re. 'I gueas so ; iolks do stop there some times.' 'Is it far from here ?' 'Not very ; about halt a milo.' 'Then let us make baste and reach it. I ant drenched to tho skin.' We plodded on, my companion more than I.e.quo- pace with tue. Presently we lelt the edgu of the ravine, entering wbut seemed like trackless wooda, and keeping straight on ui til lights glcHiueu fitfully through tho wet foliage. It was a resinous old pl-eo, with tlx windows all drawn to oue side, as if the foundation had settled, aud the pillars of a rude porch nearly rotted away. A woman uuswered my fellow travel lers kttock. My companion whispered a word or two "to her, and she turned to me with smooth, voluble wonlb of wcl come. She regretted the poverty of their accommodations ; but 1 ?as welcome to them, auch as they were. 'Where is Isaac?' demanded a?y guide. 'lie has not come ia yet.' 1 sat down on a wooden bench beside the fire, aud ate a few mouthiuls of bread. '1 should like to retire as soon as possible,' said I, lor my weariness was excessive. 'Certainly/ the woman started up witb alacrity, ?Ii i.J -??vi 'Whcrfj are you going to put hiiu If' asked my guied. 'Up chamber.' 'Put hiui in [(Map's room.' ?No.' 'It's the most comfortable.' But* bere I interrupted the whispered colloquy. 'I am not particular?I don't care where you lodg? me ; only make haste, please.' So I was conducted up n steep ladder that stood in a corner >f tho room, into an apartment ceiled with sloping beams and ventilated by one small window, where a cot bedstead, crowded closely against the board partition, and a pine table, with two chairs, formed the sole Attempts at furniture. The woman set the lights?an oil lamp?on the table. 'Anything more 1 can get you sir ?" said she. 'Nothing, thank you.' '1 hope you'll sleep well, sir. When shall I call you ?' 'At tour o'clock in the morning if you please 1 mdst walk to, 11-station .J in time tor the seven o'clock express.' "Til be sure to call you, sir.' She withdrew. leaving inc alone in J the gloomy little apartment. I sat down , and looked nrouud ine with no very agreeable BCUSMtUtUS. ?1 will sit down and write, to Alice.' I thought ; 'thai will soothe my nerves aud quiet me, perhaps. 1 de-ct tided the ladder.

I bee was - crack there, but enly black dark tiess beyond ; yet I couid have sworn that something had spat kled bulclully j at me. 1 took out my watch?it was only 1 o'clock. It was scarce y worth while for me to undress for three hours' sleep ; I wou'd Iis down in my clothe* and snatch what slumber I could. So placing my valise close to the head of my bed. ami ' barrivndtug the luckless doors with tun j chairs, 1 extinguished the light nud lay | down. At first 1 was very wakeful, but gradual1)- a soft drowsiness seemed to steal over lue. like a tuibty mantle, until all of u sudden some startling electric thrill coursed through my veins, aud 1 sat up, excited and trembling.

The rough sort of dentistry described below bus occasionally been practiced as a trick, with more or less success ; but we have rarely heard of a patient's choosing the dour knob method of his own accord. A rough, Western farmer carac into a doctor's office to have a tooth extracted, but flinched at sight of the "instru ments;" nnd again and again the doctor, tried in vain to get a gripper into bis mouth. At last, the Iloosicr declared "that 'ere new-fangled thing tobe no account," aud wanted to know if the ?oetor could tie a string around the tooth; "for," said be, "that's the way I used to pull 'em out, au' I guess it's bcttcr'n all ycr ucw-fuugled fixtures. ' The dentist, to please him, -nid be would try, and producing from a drawer a line strong piece of fl.-b Hue, after a great deal of trouble, aud yells of pain from the Iloosicr, it was firmly secured uround the tooth. The 1!nosier then proposed to fasten the at ring to the door-knob, which was accordingly done. The back wouda man then commenced a series of easy jerks on the line, each cf which was followed by yells of pain. The doctor resumed his scat, and smiled audibly bebiud bis paper, occa sionally glancing toward the door, and then turning quickly again to the paper to bide behind it bis merriment. Thus matters sto id, until at last the lire burned low, and the dentist arose to replenish it. Af be threw in the wood, and stirrod the red hot coals into a blaze, a brilliant idea scorned to strike him for bis face brightened*onderfully. Arising from the floor, he left the poker in"TheV?re, and, seating himself, awaited the change of affairs.

He was j shown a uumber of superfine uocdies, j thousands uf which, together, did not weigh ball an ouuee, a-.d marveled hon uch minute objects could be pierced with an eye. Hut he was to see in this respect how even something still finer aud more perfect Could be created. The borer?that is, the workman whose busi ness it is to bore the eyes in these need leo?asked for a hair from the monarch's head. It was rwadily given, and with a ? mile. Ho placed it at once under the boring machine, turned a bole ia it with the greatest care, furnished it with a tluead and then handed the singular uec lie to the astonished King. 'Iba second curious needle is in possession of Queen Victoria. It was made at the celebrated needle manu factory at Bedeitch, and represents the column of Trajan in miniature. This weil known Uotnatl column* is adorned with numerous scenes in sculpture, which immortalise Trajan's heroic ac tions in war. On this diminutive ueedlo, scenes iu the lilc of Queen Victoria are represented 'n relief, but so finely cut and so small, that it requires a magudy ing glass to see them. The Victoria ueedl? can, moreover, be opeucd ; it con tains a number of needles of smaller size, which are equally adornel with scenes iu relief. Says a Canada paper, *Tt would make some of our fine ladies start to see Lady Hud'erin promenading the streets doing her shopping. She dresses plainly and scns'blv, weir* thick soled boots, and does not fear a walk from one end of the city to the other, or to face tho /muddiest crossing." ? * A Girl and a Wild Cat. i A romatic incident rocently oreured at tho ranch of Leonard Methcn, about five miles ubovo Brown's Valley, Cali fnrnia. 1*1 iss Leonora Methen, daughter of Methen, aged perhaps 10 pears, pos sessed a pet lamb which die very natu ally admired. Ou Thursday eveuing of j last week the lamb was missing. Leonora observed about the yard tracks of an animal, and thought thoy w.-ro tl?:?r. r.f a California liou. Thcro being no men about tho ranch, the girl dispatched her mother to a neighbor for assistance to hunt tho wild animal. Subsequently^ concluding she would not wait for re inforcemeuts, Leonora loaded her sir sh toter and a shot gun, and placing her dog Boxer on the scent and trucks started out alone to capture the beast, if possible. After going some distance an 1 climbing a high hill, an animal, which proved to be tho wild cat, was seen iu tho tup of a live oak tree. The giti then took aim with her pistol and fiicd but missed the animal. A second barrel was discharged when the wild cat tumbled from tho tree. A brief fight then occurred between the dog and the wild cat, ?1 hen the latter got aw ay and ran down the hill. A pursuit was made by the girl and two dogs?another one having come up iu the meantime. Tho wild cat w:.i overtaken and finally killed by tho dogs and with rocks thrown by the girl. The victor seized her prize carried it to the house, where, by that time tho mother had returned with neigh 1 o s cagar for a l.un . On examining the head oT the wild cat it was found that the pistol bail entered his right eye and ranging downward passed out at the fircshoulder. The animal weighed thirty pounds and measured throe feet and ? ne inch from tip to tip. The young lady very naturally feels proud over her achiovmcnt. A Wedding and a Murder Dig Creek, ten uii'cs Borth of Mc? rphTs, Tenn., wasfercntly the scene of' the followiug disgraceful murder. A German named Uaehman had married the sistor of George Cooper a jollifica tion h d take:* place and four hour* after the wo 'ing, otic hill, a former Iot er of liach u id a bride, and then pretty drunk, begs i to discuss the lady's char acter in a manner so displeasing to the tipsy bridesgroom'and his brother in law that, with knife and pistol, thoy set upon and murdered him. They then ran away, leaving the newly-made bride alone to mmrn, and now, as the Mem phis Appeal says, "the citizens of the neighborhood want to have their fellow arrested and punished"?which is stat ing the cane not at all too strongly. A Nkw Tains?A California papor discribes the discovery of three villa ges of Juni Indians, supposed to be the survivors of the ancient Aztoca. They dwell on the great trail from Mohav, on the Colorado, to Albuquerque, on tho Kio Grand, and are about a day's jour ney from the diamond field. They num ber about 0,000 and are very different from other tribes, being in looks, bear ing aud pride of dress, a manifestly sup*, rior race. The Women aro coiuely*and modest iu dress, their houses nra clean, nnd their cooking good, Certain kinds of cloth are made by them These peo ple have fields of corn, wheat and vege tables, flocks of sheep and goats, and they keep all the domestic animals. They are friendly to the whites, never fig hi aggressively, but ate stubborn iu defence. Their bouses aro of stone three stories high and built in terrance form. They worship :he Great Spirit, and believe he dwells in the sun. A Uro-Hot Army.?Figures are inexorable, 'and they sometimes cut fun ny capers. For instance, a letter appears from Secretary Bilknap, asking for a special appropriation of ? 100,000 to luruish the army with stoves, $20,000 having been exhausted for that purpose. As th'-re are mo.000 men in the army, this would give each man a four dollar stove, South as well as North. The ? in curious render will ask what every man iu the army wants a to ur dollar stove for.
