[From Portia Spirit of the Times.] Adventures in Arkansas?A Night with a Panther. Tn the Autumn of 1803. after having traversed a great part of the Western Territory, I found myself in llio pleasant, beautifully situated, and healthy little yillggerof l'ayctville, in the Northwestern part of Arkansas. Here, in consequence of the large quantity of game with which the neighl)oihood abounded, I determined to devote*a few weeks to recruiting my strength, which, owing to the laborious manner in which I had travelled, hail become verv much exhausted, and also to enjoy the pleasure of myfavorite amusement?hunting. Upon one of my, hunting excursions I had been singularly unsuccessful?not havingn shot during the whole day, and, as might be supposed, felt in a not very joyous mood ; for upon nil previous oeoubions 1 had met with great euceos*. Tliis ill luck caused me to remain in the forest much longer than I had anticipated; and when I first begun to think of returning, I found that it already lind begun to get dark, and I had quite a distance to travel through the forest to the village. Weary in body and liar- j ratfed in mind, in conscrptencCof my want of success. I slowly retreated my steps. Soon the dark mantle of nigth was spread upon the forest, and I. ns yet, preeeived no signs of the opening. I hastened my steps, thinking, if possible, to reach the clearing ere it bee nine too dark for me to travel. Faster and fuller 1 walked, until I found myself going at a brisk trot, tUliough nt every stey my clothes were torn by the brush, and 1113- flesh considerably 1?,1 o 1? - r -11 ...vv.?u;u. OVUII, llUWUHT, t WHS umiuie iu di?t inciisli tlie trees, niul rather reluctantly came tt tho conclusion that I would have to trilvC up my quarters for the night where I was. As my mind was tlius employed, trying to Arrange some plan for my night's nceommudntion, I wis startled by a piercing shriek, as of someone distress. I stopped suddenly-, and t endeavored to peer into the darkness for an ^ explanation. Again 1 hoard the sound, al )/ llioughToppni"ntlv at not 8i*> great a distance I from mc as the f.ret. I stood tlion irresolutely "Wore it a human being, it would be my duty to rentier 0113- assistance tliat might be 1 in my power, and . At this point of 1113* 1 meditations, I jprccoivid through the under- ! brush, n short distance from tne, two objects j closc together, resembling6innll balls of fire. I I^Lnd now divined the c?use of the noise I 1 1. 1 u?ni. it proeeeJcil n... . ] and that animal was watching 111c with ifs fire-like orbs? I hastily raised my r.fle, and Jired, but ns the object whs some distance from mc, and not being nhle to draw a sight 1 must have missed it, for no sooner had I pull- j cd the trigger than, with two or three bounds, | it was before me. I now discovered, from its i close proximity, that it was a panther?that, much dreaded and Bavagc nnimnl, which oM | hunters, even well equipped, are loth to meet. I I drew my hunting knife, not having time to : reload my rifle, atid waited fur the fatal spring j hut to my surprise, tlic pantlicr crouched 1 d.owu about twelve feet froru me, and gazed into my eyes in a manner not. suited to leagon my excitements Steadily I watched it, expecting every moment to bo torn in piece# by : the ferocious animal, although I wns deter mined to defend my life 1o the last extremity. j Once T endeavored loredoad 1113- rifle, but the | moment I commenced to move, the pantlicr ' rose, as if about to spring upon me. 1 determined, therefore, to keep myself in readiness fur the attack, for I perceived froin the move- j ments of uiy enemy, that should I attempt to move, it would be uj>on me in an instant, j There we were, in the midst of a dense forest, eyeing eaeb other with a bitter enmity. Thus was I kept in suspense for a long time, , for each miuute seemed an hour, until the panther, probably becoming hungry, slowly ad- ' vanccd toward me. When within about six ' feet of me. it afrnin stormed mxl nronnp?.l f..f the spring. I retained my composure manfully, ! for although I had been much cxcited on the j fir&t appearance of the nuimtil, the length of I time that had intervened,- and the hopelessness j of my case had given me new strength and I ! determined that if I must die, it would lie bravely defending my life. SuddenlyJjhe panther gave a spring. This I liad anticipated, and planted myself as firmly as possible, holding-my knife in sucli a manner that tho animal would jump upon it. The * fthock knocked- me down; but I knew that I had hurried my knife in the animal's body, for the warm Mood that fell upon me, convinced j me of tlie fact I had n<^ killed the panther, : however; for, before I could regain my feet, it ! was upon me, and, as I had lost my knife im- j mediately upon the attack, I was almost j powerless, havjng nothing to defend myself with, but what Nature had bequeathed tome. ; It again jumped upon me, and we rolled over j and over upon the earth. I clasped it with all ; iny poaer around the body, and from the tight- ! [ ' sess with which I held if, it was unable to do j mc much injury. I felt, witlfpleasure too, that j t its strength was fast decreasing, and concluded \ Ithat the knife must have entefed a vital part. ' I held firmly, knowing that should I relax my j 11 ? - 1 <.Uu>u>, ucm.it nuuia uc niii inevitable result.?

Tliov J bcooinc disgusted with the plainness and aimI plicitv of truth, and require and search f'?r I something new and exciting to the imagina, t i.>n. But again; theta?te for novel readinsi when , once acquired, is hard to get rid of. lake an I example : "A yiMini? lady who luul indulged I for sonic time in Hie tml?it of novel reading on ' becoming pious, found, to her norrow, that Iht i imagination had become ho fneinated, am] her , taste so vitiated by this pernicious reading. Mint i slic eoiild not fix on any thing permanently," "I would make any onrtlily sacrifice," said i?lie, Vould I tliirnt after the Hilile, as I have afier ; novels. The greatest daily cross I am now 1 compelled to take up is to pus-; n novel without j reading it. I would urge it as fatal warning : to any of my sex, to beware of this rock. He, ware ol wasting not. only days, but night*, in making yourselves fools nil the rest of your i life, if not absolutely wretched." { Hut again: It sometimes lends even to insanity! A physician in Massaousctts says: ! "1 have fccii a young lady with her table load ed with volumes of fictitious trash, day after ' dav and ni:;hl after niclit, tiorini! over 11iltIi 1 v : wrought. m'i'Iip!, and skillfully-portrayed pic; tures of romance, until her eheceks i;rcw pale. her eycm became cold ntii] restless, and Ikt mind : wandered, find "was lost- Tlio light- of intulli! gence passed in<l n cloud.

And wc : had as lief undertake to live in n barrel of vinegar in a thunder storm, as to live in the house . with such a woman. Solomon was right when he said : "It is better to live in the eornor of a house-top than to dwell in a wide house with a brawling woman."'

We had rather take ]>auiel's place with the lions, than to think of living within gun-shot of such a teanicgant. If woman knew thuir power, nnd witdied to exert it, they would always show sweetness of temper; for then they are irresistible. Messrs.
