In Mr. Wrbster's boyhood, there lived
in hia native town a uian bjr the name of
Ilauitmmd, a rough, uncultivated, but
kind hearted houe*t fellow, hrlf furmer
and half backwoodsman. Hammond's
boys were experts in gunning atitf fishing,
sad Mr. Webster, who always had an especial
fondness fur such sports, was often ac<
oouipanied by them in his excursions,
and became well acquainted with tlie family.
After a time, the Hammond's emigrated
to some wild region near the Canada
frontier, aod for several year* Mr. Webster
loat atl trace of them, but c-.olog one
of his college vacations a desire to see his
old friends again determined liiui to hunt !

were becoming too densely populated to

Mr train left P.msig in the morning, ii

we had to wait for the arrival of tiio steam* j !

i ir.g of the steamer's arrival that I cam*
1 down froui my hotel, ami found that my ?
engineer had been so seriously injured that si
he could not run. ()n? of tbs railway s<
carriages had run over him, and broken g
one of his legs- I went immediately to
the engine bouse to obtain another engi- ! c

in the reserve thole ; but I was disappoint- ' ?

informed that ho has gone to Steegen to h

The Steamer came to hrr wharf; and w
those going on by rail soon came flocking t,
to the station. Tiny had taken breakfast c<
I on board tho boat, und were all ready for g

we were now going we ahould be there in

man, 'there's not a moment of time to be i

At that moment a tall, stoat German
student ciuie ovor to tba platform where 1
i we stood, and we aaw that the mad man
had hia pistol aimed at na. lie grasped a 1

with a steadiness of n?rr<? whieh I could <

, such fon-e end precision thai he knocked

had caught as he came over the tender. 1
Krollar settled down like a dead man,
and on the next instant I shut off the steam <
and opened the safety-valve. Ar the freed
steam shrieked aod howled in its escape,
the speed of the train began to decrease, J
and in a few moment's more tho danger |
was passed and aa I settled back, entirely
overcome by wild emotions that had raged
within me, we began to turn the curve by

A Story of Daring Burglary by Unclf '

store being nttackcd by robbers was not
for s moment entertained, but it was for
other objects, such as security from fire, ]
and the like, that young Loring, the clerk, ]
slept there, for he was not supplied with
any weapons to repeal an attack of thieves. ^
But one dark dreary night, he was awe*
kened by a singular noise which resembled
that which a party of burglars might 1
produce in nn attempt to enter the build- t
iug, and, looking towards the back win*- t
dows, heaoon satisfied himself that one or 1
more persons were endeavoring to enter as t
quietly as possible, to effect au entrance at t
that quarter, They had already removed \
a part of tbu cash mud shutters with their ]
cunningly devised instruments, and must <
have been at work soma tiiuebeforo be was i
awakened. 1
Now young Loring regretted that bo <
had no weapo.v, lint not thiough 1t%r? i
that was not a cha-acteristic of tha young t
gentleman, but that he might pappor the j \
rogues a little. At first he determined to ! <
cry out and arouse the watch, but as they <
had advanced bo far before he was awake, i
he thought he would drive them away by
stratagem ! lie slipped on hia clothes quiotly,
and approaching the spot where the
Lhiave* ??rrt b??y, ha aanr the hand nfnnr '
of thfjr. passed inside the shatter into the
store, in it* owner's endeavor to guide a
a smoll handtt-w with which ho was cutting
an aperture for hia body to paae
through.
Young Luring fuil inclined to chop off
the hand with a hatchet that lay bard by,
bat he refrained, and bethought biuiscitof;
a powerful canatio vitriol and other pens.'rating
atuffa that were used in the teating
of tho purity of silver ar i other metala.
One drop of this would eat instantly
into the flesh and produce poisonous
norea in tea tuinutaa tiuie. He cautiously
dropped a little upon the burglar's Jiand,
and awaited the result
'Bill," at length exclaimed the burglar
tohti comrade, "I've got a cursed burn
ing on the hack of my hand. I'ta bo soro
1 can hardly work ibis saw. Phow ! how
it smarts I I guess 1'va cut it with the
bbw. Hold tho dark lantern here.'*
"Pudge," replied hi? companion,"change
hand* then, but don't slop!"
Take the saw yourself, then I I can't
stand this pain 1"
And while the discomfited burglar withdrew
to groan over the supposed cut, the
other took hia place with the Mw, and In
a moment after receivings few drops of
