It was a.sort of peninsula, formed by a bond of the liver to tlic northward. Kioui ill*' point where l!io river took its curve, to the point of its return, in a direct line with its general course, was a distance of n?>t ?juitc five miles ; Lut to follow tlic .stream around l!ie bend, was a sail of over twenty miles. Tlio piece of land thus near IV surrounded by water was a treutlo swell. mostly covered by a stout growth of walnut and sycamore, without a particle of under brush ; iIhi grouiul Wing carpeted by a luxuriant covering of short, tender grass. .Next the centre was a spring of pure cold water, from which a gentle brook tlowcd to tin: river. We had noticed this place on our way tip, and had seen a (lock of deer there, two of which we shot; so wo resolved to stop there now, and pitch our lent. It was not much sifter noon when we reached it, though it was near the middle of the afternoon before we had decided to make a slop. We got out our tent, and set it up ; and before night we had shot four deer. This was u pretty good beginning. f>u tin* following day, we wore 011 the trail from morning till night; and carried home the hides and haunches of ton deer, and that evening we had a pleasant season of storytelling and conversation. O11 the next morning after breakfast, (jarl and Harris started oil' together on a tramp. I had not written anything in 1113diary for some days, owing to a sore 011 my I'ildll thumb. f.-ltlKed IIV !1 Pill 1 1-1,1 tvw??Sv.?l in taking tlic skin from a magnificent trumpeter-swan I had shot; so I embraced that opportunity to write up the doings of a week. Seated upon the grass beneath the tent, with my book upon my knees, 1 went at it. Shortly afterwards, l?en and Ned look their lilies, and Kit/, asked them if he mightn't go with them. lien said yes ; so T was left alone. An hour had passed away, and T had written up about half of what I had to write, when, on raising my eyes, I saw upon the opposite bank of the river, a large buck and two does, that had comedown to drink. They looked fat and plump, and I felt a great desire to get one, or more, of them. Thinks I, if I can only cross over and shoot that buck, and bring him to camp before the others come back, L can laugh at e ? T hadn't heard a gun yet, and 1 ' "hot nothing* I waited ued and walked T laid a.side "ii and -ed ing her oil asWffnu'kly as possible, * . over to llio other side, where 1 made her last to a small lice, and then went lip into tho wood. I tracked the deer for some distance, but finally lost the trail among the grass, there being tracks in all direct:ons there. I stopped to gn/.e around. I had stood thus perhaps a minute, when I heard a crashing not far distant, anil, in a few moments more, the deer I had seen came leaping by, not over four rods distance, at the top of their speed. I had no opportunity to fire; for the suddenness of tho movement had rather startled me, as the animals seemed at first to be rushing towards me. I gazed off after them ; and was upon the point of starting in pursuit, when my attention was called to another point. A new sound had arrested inc. It came from tho direction in which I had first heard tho deer, though it was of a ditlcrent character. However, I was not long in suspense. I held iny rifle ready, and iu a few moments, I saw a huge, dark form wining oui uom me deep wood. A moincut more, and I saw that it was a grizzly bear! ami a largn. one, loo. lie came d.vliing on at a galloping pace, ami had fairly reached Iho little grassy opening bel'ore he saw inc. When llie beast saw me, lie stopped with an air of astonishment. His head was not towards tuG, hilt lie Blood with his side exposed. 1 itlionld have aimed alhiscyelmU the opportunity been good ; but as it jgas 1 aimed lor his heart?just back of the shoulder?and fired. 1 instinctively started back as T brought my rifle down, and then looked to see tho eflecf of my sliot. Tlio huge brute first raised himself half up on his hind logs; ami then, with a deep^ sav ngc cry?half-way between ft grunl and a roar?lie Started toward mo t I It ml nol killed him ! Never before liad I bee# ao fear sliicken as tlien. My position was precarious ono. I Lad 110 pistol, and not even a knifo. In ray haste to reach tho deer, L had forgotten hotli. Just one single second J gave to thought* I knew thai to turn and rim would bo sUro^lbalh, for no man can out run a-full-grown grizzly. Artel I knew, too, that to attempt to uxo!ray riflo for a club would be equa]ljfcfo~ tile; for no blow which tho feopard-wood block could sustain would havo jmy eft'ect upon that massivo skull, even allowing that I could hit it. Tho only thing I could do was to dodge behind a tree, and thus kcojvout of his way as long .'is possible. Perhaps I could leap from tree to tree, and thus {get near enough to camp to make them hear my cries. To no buro mcy v?oqm uave no boat; but tb?n if they heprd me tk^A?Qjuld-*wim across.

Ho followed mo; mid this timu In; chased mo iiromul half a dozen limes in quick succession; and once ho fairly put his j?aw upon my heel; but 110 did not touch the llesh. I had olio advantage in this sort of racc. From the peculiar form of the bear, ho had to make a circuit of some ten or twelve feet in diameter, while I could whip around close in to tho tree. I now ciied out for help. 1 knew I was a long distance from tho camp; and, furthermore, that the dense wood must impede my voice! I felt that I must got nearer the river if I would make inv companions hear mo. After following inc mound litis second tree, as I have said, the bear stopped again, ami I sprang to another. Tlie thought of climbing 0110 of the smaller trees hail passthrough my mind; and for a few moments I had dwelt upon it seriously. Could 1 do it, I should lie safe; for there 1 could load my rillc and shoot the animal. (< >f course, tho reader remembers that the grizzly is no tree-climber.) Hut the thing was impossible. No sooner did I start from one tree to another, than tho bear was at my heels; and before I could have mounted a tree, he would surely have had me by tho legs.? No, no; there was no hope here. I at length reached tho sixth tree, and had gained nearly a rod at each movement. I still continued to cry out at intervals ; but I beared no answer in return. The seventh ?the eighth?the ninth tree was reached, and still the bear was at my heels, lie had bccome more and more savage, and his growling was fearful to hear, lie seemed to have assumed a regular course of tactics. \vt t r... i 11 - < I null i llial rcaciieil a lice, lie would lol! low inc rouml ft few times, ami then slop; though I always contrived by straligem to get him around so that when 1 moved it could bo towards home. Krc long a new fear came upon me. I was becoming weary ; I could not hold out in this way much longer. I had gained quite a distance, and now yelled with all my power. The bear kept closc upon me, and it was only by the most careful and sudden movements that I kept clear of him. lie had repeatedly put his paw upon my heel, and yet 1 had cleared him. 1 had just gained a new tree when the sun broke in upon me. I looked up?it was strange ?could it be so lale ? Had I been there in the wood so long? Surely the sun was west of the zenith! I pondered a moment, and my heart sank within me. The sun was not in the west; it was in the east! I * ...I r t _ i i - vuu i iiau uecn moving 111 the wrong direction ! When I first readied llie opening where the deer passed, I had crossed it; and in .in ning to look at the bear I had lost my r^ion. All this time I had been going farlh-'V fj.oni tj,e ]K,|p i gonght.

He glared upon nie angrily, and ever and anon lie would gnash his tectli, and shake his head, as though to assure nie that I was his game. And I feared lie was light. I looked upon my rifle, and wished .that I could load it. Perhaps I might. The next time the bear ' gave mo a chase, I would embrace the first moment after he stopped to try it, I had fairly come to this conclusion, when he leaped towards me. I started round.? Once?twice?thrice. Ob, I could run no farther! It required all my power to drag one h-g after the other. Fortunately, when around the fourth lime, lie stopped. I now caught my powder flask ; but the moment I did so, my enemy leaped towards irifi. TI.a riflii ? _v_ ?uo ui iiu more use.

It must have been half-an-hour | before I tried my feet again. I was stronger by that time ; and having found my riile, 1 loaded it, and then started for the boat being careful that I took the right course this lime. I reached the river, and found my com' pauions all upon tho opposito bank watchi in:r for me. 1 sculled the boat over ; and in . .... . answer to their earnest inquiries concerning ! my pale and worn appearance, I related to ! them my adventure.

This was the crowning wonder, and ! lie viewed it from every position, walked j around it, got down on his knees, and lookj ed up into it, and exclaimed : " Wall, raly, this beats the bell on our : incelin' house a great sight." l'.y this time the attention of the captain nn.l ..r il " ' I v/? uiu ^aoauuguia WCl'U HllTtkClOU to this genius. "How much would you ask to let a fuller ring this bell " 'S ou may ring it for a dollar, sir," said the captain. " Wall, its a bargain, all fair and agreed, and 110 backing cut." " It's a bargain, sir," said the captain. Our hero went deliberately and brought a scat and took hold of the bell-rope, and having arranged everything to his sgflfctae. tion, commenced-ringii^-flhflvl'y at first, 'and gi^du*Hy"iasTor and faster, till everybody on board thought the boat wns 011 fire, and rushed 011 deck, scrcatning with alarm.

AH tbc while there sat our hero undisturbed, ringing away more ways than a cockney chime-ringer ever dreamed of. At hist the captain.began to think it time to stop the simpleton ; but his answer was " A fair bargain and no backing eout," and he rang away for dear life.

Olio of tlio most *>xI?*a??r?Iinary rrtsospvw brought lu'loro a tribunal was wUiiohh?<1 in llio I'olioo Court on Saturday. An offieer complained of a young ftnd remarknblv handsome lady for obstructing tho side-walks of Washington street by too great a display or crinoline. Ah it in understood that the lady is highly connected, we will call her Mary Smith, and not expose her true name. lu-fure the complaint was read, Judge Kussell impiired as to tho whereabouts of the prisoner. Tho olliocr replied that the lady was wailing in the entry ; that himself ind two others had endeavored to squeeze her through tho door-ways, but they were loo narrow, anu ho wished the Judge's advice in the premises. The Judge said that it was an extraordi nary case; the Constitution guaranteed to every one an open trial, and lie would nut hold session in the entry even to please a lady. Under the circumstances*, lie recommended that Miss Smith be moved from the entry to the front door, and he thought that she must spread considerable not to bo able to take her place in the prisoner's dock. The experiment was tried and found to answer admirably?the door being some twenty feet wide very little compressing was needed?and with a frown of indignation upon her pretty brow, Miss Smith found herself face to face with the .ludge, and listened to tlio complaint which was read to her. Tiio oiiiocr testified that half a dozen times during the week he had been obliged to stop from tho side-walk to enable tlio defendant to pass. Once he camo very near being run over by a passing carriage, and lie inquired of the .Judge whether the city government would have allowed a pention to his widow iu case lie had been killed. The Judge said that he should reserve his opinion until some time next week on that point, and inquired whether the circumference of tho lady was nut produced by natural causes. The police ollicor said that he was the father of sixteen children, and if he was lucky, he expected an addition to his family noxt month, lie had never known his wife to occupy half so much space as Miss Smith, and lie hoped she never would, as he disliked twins. Tho Court rebuked the levity of the man, and told hiui lie must trust to Providence. The officer said that he should, but i( IVovidinco continued to favor him he meant to petition for an increase of salary, and ho thought he ought to have it. Tlio Court intimated tliat his remarks were irrelevant to the case, and inquired i( he had any further testimony to oiler. The ofilecr said that ho had.

Be Oenllc at Home.?There aro few fain ilic3, wo imagine, anywhere, in which love is not abused as 1'urnishing tho license for impoliteness. A husband, father or brother, will speak harsh words to those he loves best, ard those who love him best, simply because tho security of. lave and family pride keeps him frorti getting his head broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely, at limes, to his-wife or sister than ho would to any oilier female, except a low and viciousyno. It is thus that tho 'honedt affections of a man's nature prove to bo a weakerj>orlocti.pn to a woman in the family Cir61? flian tlio restraints of society, that a worn a u lisually is indebted to tiio kindness and .politeness ofjife to thoso not belonging^ her own house, hold.
