m ,i i-Tim--- ' ?* MIS PET ITIA TVT Y The Night Hunter. MESSES. EDITORS: The following was sug? gested by an incident related to the author, when traveling, many years ago, among tho Seminole Indians, or before tho tribe was removed from Florida to their proscut location in the Arkansas Territory: Still was Night's silver Boonery, And silence reign'd o'er all tho wilds; But who on steals from tree to tree, With bended bow? What dream beguiles That darkling hunter of the night? For human game, the trail ho takes Tho friend so falso and maid so light, Who bis fond faith betrayed. When wakes Tho moon's palo eye, tho landscape o'er Dim brooding; through tlio glassy dews His phantom foes, that tty before His shaft, he, panting, thus pursues. Now by tho lake, where flows no tide Typ? of Iiis woe-struck soul-be stands; Or on thc prairie's busby side. Like statue in enchanted lands; Or now thc forest's lofty ball, Whcro trails each tree, its stole of sbado, In tragic state-or spread like pall, He treads. The bear and wolf, dismay'd, Shrink from his path. But when rebnrna Day's beam on tho mountain's bead, As waked from trance, he sad returns To bis bark hut's leafy bed. When reason flies, and hopo and love No moro tho Wighted bosom rive Its last decision but to prove, Why, memory, dost thou survive? With light false as tho fitful ray That glares the stormy ocean o'er Loading the lost more far astray, And maddening even madness more. ANITORAC. THE GnOGER'S STOBY* f CONCLUDED.] "If it is the policeman, I'll make him pay dearly for it," as I slunk along tho sidewalk to tho corner, keeping in the shadow all the way, and when I stood beside the box and and saw by the light of the lamp, close by, that the ham was there, wrapppd in something which looked like a handerkerchief, I bit my lips and clenched my hands with rage. Had it been a common thief, I should not so much have minded; but a policemen ! it was more than I could staud. So I crouched myself in a doorway and waited. Thc watch were relieved at 12 o'clock; I- knew that, and knew also that this would be the timo when my policeman would come to t?ke tlie ham from out of its hiding place. Aud sure enough, when the time came, I heard him ch allenge the man who was to take his place, and come marching down toward the corner. I let him get the ham well under his arm before I stirred, but then I pounced upon him like a tiger. ' 'I've got you !" I cried. ' 'A pretty policeman you are, indeed; but yon shall suffer for it; you shall suffer for it, I can tell you." "He struggled with me for a mo? ment like a wild thing, and then all of a sudden dropped the ham and fell down in a helpless sort ot a heap upon the ground. "I'm a ruined man!" he groaned, ' 'a ruined man ! there's no hope for me now. Oh my God ! my wife-my poor little wife!" and ho burst out crying, like a woman. 4 'The sight softened me, but I was angry still. '."iou should have thought of that before you became a thief," I said. If the guardian of a man's property is not to be trusted, what is to be? come of him? And you look like a gentleman-you do not seem like a scoundrel-how have you over stoop? ed to do such a disgraceful thing as this? * 'He was standing beside mo now, and the lamp-light fell upon his face. It was white as any corpse's and Iiis eyes glittered terribly. .'I'll tell you what made modo it,' ho said; "it was the ouly thing which could have driven mo to an act like that; my wife and child aro starving -starving, I tell you, and I had noth? ing for them!" ' 'Policemen's families do not of ter starve," I said, with a sneer. 'Tvly God! can't you believe mc won't you believe me?" panted th? man. "I have only been appointe* throe days; I have not received i ceut of salary yet. I have been ill i long while, and had neither monoi nor credit. Last night we went t< bed snpperless; to-dny there has no been a crust in tho house, and thoa hams tempted mo so. You can neve know how awfully they tempted me and I meant to pay you afterwards.' "He covered his face with hi hands, and I could see great tear dripping through his fingers, am before I knew it, my own cheeks wer moist, and so we stood silent, witl the ham lying between us ou th ground. "At last ho turned towards me um said, 'Do what you like with nu The last hope is gone.' "But I put my hand on his an: and said, 'God forbid that I shouh luke the last hope from you ; that 1 of all men, should bc tho one to rai you. If your story is true-and believe it is-I pity you more than blame you.' "He looked at me in a sort of bc wildored way, as though ho searcel understood me, and I took hi m b tho arm and led him back to tho shot There I filled a basket with bread butter and coffee, and put the har on top of all. 'Take it home to you wife,' I said, 'you'll pay me whe you get your salary, and if you are i need beforo that time, come to nu I'm a poor mau, myself, and I ca feel for other poor men.' "I shall never forget that man face in all my life, so wondering, B thankful, and so awe-stricken. All J. he said was, 'God bless you,' but there was a whole sermon in those three -words, and I slept bettor for ? them. "On Christmas night ho paid me i every cent, and from that day till X left thc neighborhood dealt with mo regularly. But times grew so much better that I took a .store in a good street at the other end of tho town, and one way aud another Raw no more of my policeman for three good years. "One night, just such a cold night as that on which I first saw him star? ing at the hams, I was awakened long after midnight by a cry of fire, and started up to seo tho names through the floor, and to know the store down stairs was all ablaze. Tho stairs were on fire, also, and when, as I opened the entry door, the hot air and smoke rushed in an d almost smothered me, I gave up all hope of getting my poor wife and our helpless little ones out of that burning building alive and safe. Help came to us, however, and though in clambering down tho lad? der I slipped and broke my arm. I was thankful when I saw, as I thought, all were safe. I was so faint and ill from the accident, you see, that I hadn't all my wits about me, and believed there was no one missing. My blood ran eold when my wife, clasping her hands, with an awful look upon her face, screamed: "Our little Lucy, our little Lucy is left, behind." "She had slept with our hired girl since her baby brother w?is born, and tho woman, in her fright, had forgot? ten tho little one. There she was at the top of that burning building, out of the reach of any human help; it seemed to me, as I looked up at the walls, a great, red and 3-ellow sheet of flame, with blue gleams here and there, as though devilish heads were peeping out and grinning at us. Still, hopeless as it was, 1 should have gone back into the burning house and saved my baby or died with her, if I had been able to stand. No one else would venture. It would be a foolish sacrifice of life, they said, for no doubt the child was already smothered by the smoke, and though I raved and plead and made wild promises, they shook their heads and only bade me have patience. "Patience! I thought that I was going mad as the face of my little girl-my sweet, pretty pet-rose up before me. But just then a tall mun dashed through the crowd and came towards me. "Quick! ho shouted, which room ? the child in-speak quickly-which room? "Tho back oue on the uppei floor, I groaned, and he dashed a\va\ from me, parting tho throng with hi.? strong arms, and in another moment I saw him mounting the ladder. J heard them calling him to come back, bidding him beware, and speaking ol him as though he were dead already. But he never heeded them, and as ] saw him hidden by the black smoke which poured from the window, J covered my face and prayed that th? angels who walked in the fien* fur nace might go with him. "Perhaps they did. Something stronger than an earthly thing mus have been there, for in a fev minutes-they seemed years to nu then-we saw him coming down tin ladder with something in his arms 'The burnt body of my child, per haps,' T thought, but as he cami closer I saw that it was my owi laughing, living darling, with he blue eyes open and her little ann about his neck. "The roof fell in the next moment but my treasure was safe and that wa all I cared for. "What shall 1 say or do to than! you," I said, as 1 grasped his hand "I'm a ruined man, and T can onb give you my blessing; but let in know your name at least." "Havo you forgotten mo? don't yoi remember me?" he said, as he ben over me. 4 ?Look agaiu. '' "I did. I saw a pair of bright gra eyes, a face, 1 knew, and somethinj glittering 011 his breast. And th scene at tho corner of the dirty littl street, on a wet December nigh I came back to me, and I saw m policeman once more. "It is you," I said, "and you hav saved my child from such an awfi death." "And what did you save me an mino from?" he said, with tears in hi eyes. "Starvation, ruin, utter degn dation. I should have been a feloi and my dear ones paupers this nigh but for you. I have not paid til debt; I never CHU; but when I heat that it was your child that lay at tl top of that burning building, I pin? ed that I might save it, and I knd (iod heard me. " "And then he told me what hu brought him to the neighborhood c that night of all others in the yea "I had lost all, for I was n< insured, but ho was prosperous an stood by me like a brother, nurse me through my illness, und loam mo money for a new start in life, fr that in a little while things gre bright again, and here I am, you se as comfortable as most people." "And the policeman?" I asked. "His hair is as white as my ow now," said the old man. "And 11 daughter, the little one lie saved th night, is married to his son." Neal Dow is in Glasgow. - E.r.

As he was being led away, I said to him: "I hope, Tom, that I may never see you here again."

Expositor learns that there ia a wedding on the tapis between a certain school-marm, not a thousand miles from that place, and Peter Hassell, a colored individual of Wilhamston. She declares Peter to be ono of the handsomest men she ever saw; has had his photograph taken, and, in all respects, shows she is heels-over-head j in love with him. Pity that Peter should so throw himself away! Tho most ungodly liar and the big? gest "fool liar," now alive, is Parson William Gannaway Brownlow, the shame of Tennessee-a humiliating burlesque on the high office of Go? vernor-the instigator of crime-the consort of felons-the coadjutor of assassins-the boon companion of murderers-the burning scandal to religion, and the foulest blotch on the civilization of the country.
