A NARROW ESCAPE. We make the following extract from an English publication. The reader will readi ly perceive that the “Hyenas” and “Tigers” referred to are the Regulators and Lynchers of the South West. The Herod referred to had been, previous to the adventure, a j irate. These lawless bands are now seldom heard of, though the early settlements of Texas and the South Western States have been the thea tre of numerous instances of the most heart rending tragedies: I was over in Washington county, ar ranging some business connected with my marriage with Lucy, when I heard that Herod had turned out with the Hyenas to regulate thecountrv. He announced that every man found with counterfeit notes in his possession should be tried by Lynch law and hung. I put up at a small inn one night near a wood yard. The hut of the wood chopper was within thirty yards of the tavern I slept in. About daybreak I was awoke by a great noise, and looking out, I saw the Hyenas were upon us. They were all mounted and well armed, with Herod, in a green blanket coat, at their head. I peeped cautiously through a loop, and discovered about fifty prisoners, their bands tied with cords behind their backs. One of the Hyenas knocked at the door of the wood chopper’s hut. and called out: “Jim Brown, turnup!” “Look out, you regulating scoundrel?,’ was the only reply, followed hr a rifle shot, and the speaker fell dead beside Herod. Two pistol shots followed, and, at a short interval, another discharge of a gun. Ihe wood chopper, aided by his wife, was de fending himself against the Hyenas. I hey flew to cover, and, unswinging their rifles,sot to work. But Brown kept close, and weile all his shots told, theirs were usoltss. Herod stormed with rage, and, amid blasphemous oaths, bade his men break the woodman’s door open. Two advanced cautiously, with heavy logs in their hands, and casting them simultaneously, the door yielded. A general rush was made, and in five minutes more the old wood chopper and his wife were priso ners. Herod grinned a horrid smile, and had the three dead Hyenas and the five wounded carried into the inn, in the room of which 1 now stood. I and the landlord submitted to ; be searched, hutas no counterfeit money was found on either him or me, we were not inclu ded among the prisoners. But Ilerod bade me, in a fierce voice, stay to the trial, in order that : flit report to the Tigers how properly to te the country. ,ots were drawn and Lynch’s Jury of thirteen were soon chosen, Herod being the judge, and the trial at once commenced. — Old Brown, of Sixty-six Island, as he was called, was the first prisoner summoned, his wife being put at the bar Resld? him. The sturdy old wood cutter boldly told them that they were a sot of brigands and thieves, worse than Merle, the Wat no pirate; and that he had every right to defend his house against their invasion. The wife refused to answer a word. ’I he jury brought in a ver dict of guilty, and Herod ordered them to be banged. A tree stood near the door, and j over the boughs of this several ropes bad been j thrown. The unfortunate couple made no resistance, and ten minutes later they had ceased to breathe. Then took place one of the most fearful scenes I ever witnessed or heard of. The scoundrels, under Herod’s orders, took a log, nailed a board in the centre, and on this fas tened the severed heads of the husband and wife; their bodies being strapped to the extremities of the log. The whole was sent afloat in the stream, to be picked up next day at Montgomery’s Point, and make the whole werld ring with horror against Americans generally, because of the inhu man act of a band of monsters. I need only add, that twenty-seven men were found guilty that day and hung, their only crimes being their incapacity to distin guish bad from good paper money. I was grate ful when Ilerod let me go with a message for Judge L—, to the effect that if next day he diil not turn out with the Tigers and regulate White county, the Hyenas would come over and do it for him. “You may jist tell the old badger,” he added, “that we’ll pay him a visit to-morrow, and it will clear my score against him, his daugh ter, and the Britisher who wants to marry her. He had better raise a good stake to buy me off.” Though considerably startled, I intimated my readiness to carry his message, and live minutes later I was on my road, mounted on a good horse, and moving along towards a terry some miles oif. I had not got very’ far away, when I heard the galloping of horses behind me, and I dis tinctly saw Herod and half a dozen Hyenas in chase of me. ‘Doubtless someone had told him who I was. I looked to my pistols, primed my rifle, and then gave whip to my horse, which was fresh and strong. 1 moved at a rattling pace, but still I heard the vaga bonds behind me, though T could tell they were not gaining ground. My sole chance of safety was the ferry boat. If that was on the other side I was lost. Still I resolved to sell my life dearly. Away l flew, keeping my good steed up to the mark, and soon was in sight of the ferry. The boat was about to start with several passengers and one horse. I now knew that if old Jerry saw Herod in chase, he would be afraid to take me. I made a desperate dash, therefore, down to the ford, entered the boat, drew my j horse after me, and then hade the ferryman strike out. “Quick ! for your life, man ! 1 am a friend of Judge L—'s. Herod and his ring are after me, with blood on their lipnrls.” “The Regulators! I say, stranger, I can’t convene to this. I couldn’t take you for a c■ ! money.” ■ Vick at the peril of your life!” I , thawing uiv pistols; and aided by three other men. I forced the unwilling ferryman to shove off. Two of the passengers were Englishmen, and entered heartily into my interests.— Scarcely were we twenty yards off, than ■ Herod and his gang rushed up, reining in, however, some distance from the shore at j the sight of our levelled rifles. Jerrv was j terribly alarmed, and did all he could to get out ot reach; and when the balked Hyenas fired, it was too late. I then told my horrible story, which to all present seemed almost in credible, though Herod’s name had a suffi cient reputation to Fonder any atrocity with in the bounds of belief. When we reached the other side, the fer ryman intimated his intention of not return ing to his post for some days, while the oth ers offered to join in the defence of Judge , Ij —. I took them up, boatman and all, to j the Judge, and at once gave him the message of his daughter’s former suitor. J “He shall be well received,” cried the j Judge, after hearing my whole story; “but as no man can say what will happen, you and Lucy shall be married to-morrow morning.” i Lucy and I sat in the Judge’s parlor, near | ara pn wiadew, abeut 1 eVlnk, watering the Tigers as they collected. ‘1 hey were farmers and wood choppers and hunters ; all sturdy fellows, and devoutly attached to , Judge L—. “Lucy,” said I, taking her hand in mine, and gazing at hc-r soft blue eyes, “I must j turn Tiger for one day.” “James,” she replied quickly, “you must. But be careful and wise. My fife hangs on yours.” “ The look she gave me, as she spoke, proved that, quiet as she was, she could feel deeply, and I felt my affection redoubled. “James,” suddenly called the father, as the Tigers stood in good order under the window, “teil the Tigers why I have called them out.” I rose ; and leaning against the bar of the i open window, addressed the assembly. I was reckoned a good hand at a speech, and my feelings were deeply roused. A dozen groans of horror interrupted me; and when I ended by offering to volunteer with the Ti gers, a shout of applause greeted me. L— then made me come down and write out the necessary warrants for the arrest of Ilerod and his gang, which he and five other magistrates signed. Scarcely had we done so, when a horseman dashed up, with news that Ilerod and his fellows were close at his heels, ns if expecting to effect a surprise.— The Tigers fell in. Judge L—, heading about & hundred of them, took up a position in front of the house, while I with as many more, hid ourselves in the cypress grove. Another party, equally strong, were concealed in a plantation. About ten minutes later the Hy enas came in sight, with Herod at their head. They reined up within twenty yards of Judge L— and the line of Tigers. “Well, Judge,” cried Ilerod, “I see you’ve obeyed orders. You are going to regulate the country.” “I am going to regulate a murderous thief, called Herod,” thundered the Judge. At the same instant we sprang forward, and the astonished Hyenas saw that they were surrounded by six times their own num ber. Xot a man ventured to offer resistance save Ilerod, but bis own people fell upon I him, and the gang of ruffians were our pris oners. Judge L— made me pick out the thirteen members of Lynch’s Jury, who were heavily ironed, and marched away under a strong es cort to the county prison. The rest were at once well flogged with hickory switches and turned adrift, without horses or arms of any kind; and then, all excitement and fear be ing over, we thought only of the more happy event, of the day. The principal Tiger re mained ; and a merry time we had of it. I I can only add that this, my marriage, was the commencement of a long series of hap py’ days, unclouded as yet by one cloud. 1 had found a good, noble, excellent girl for a wife, and as 1 strovo to be happy, so I was. The Outside Passenger. Some years ago a young lady who was traveling, took a seat in a stage coach. For some miles she rode alone; but there was enough to amuse her in the pleasing antici pations that occupied her mind. She had been engaged as governess to the grand children of an earl, and was now traveling to his seat. At midday the coach stopped at an inn, at which dinner was provided in good style, and she alighted and sat down at the table. An elderly man followed and sat down also. The young lady rose and rang the bell, and addressing the waiter, said, “Hereis an outside passenger; I cannot dine with an outside passenger.” The stranger bowed, saving, “I beg your pardon, madam; I can go into another room,” and immediate ly retired. The coach soon after resumed its course, and the passengers their places. At length the coach stopped at the gate j leading to the castle to which the young lady i was going; hut there was no such attention as she expected. All eyes seemed directed to | the outside passenger who was preparing to dismount. She beckoned, and was answer ed, “As soon as we have attended to his lord ship, we will come to you.” A few words of explanation ensued, and to her dismay she found that the outside passenger with whom she thought it beneath her dignity to dine, was the nobleman in whose family she had hoped to be an inmate. What could she do ? How could she bear the interview ? She felt really ill, and the apology she sent for not appearing that evening, was more than a mere pretence. The venerable peer was a considerate man, who knew the way in which the scrip tures speak of the going down of the sun.— “W e must not allow the night to pass thus,” said he to the countess; “you must send for her, and we must talk to her before bed time.” He reasoned with the foolish girl re specting her conduct, insisted upon the im propriety of the state of mind it evinced, as sured her that nothing could induce him to allow his grandchildren to be taught such no tions, refused to accept an apology that did not go the length of an acknowledgment that the thought was wrong, and when the right impression appeared to be produced, gave her his hand. Hope. It is a delightful passion, hope; it is the life of society and of the individual. Every species of hope is useful, whether it he indi vidual hope, or family hope, or national hope, or humanitarian hope. A man or woman who is under the cheering influence of this passion is always raised a few degrees in the scale of being. The understanding is strengthen ed, the imagination is enlivened, the memory is rendered more impressive and tenacious, by hope ; and whatsis of still more import ance, the honorable feelings are cultivated.— We, therefore, rejoice to see the beaming eves and elastic steps of the fairest, if not the most faith.tul of the three G racesjmt we can ne ver forget the pranks of the maiden, the.leer of j her eye, the deeeitfulness of her sweet, per- ! suasive tongue. She means well; but her j wisdom is doubtful. She trains man to think ; j but in training him she so often leads him as- | trav, merely to teach him by errors and r.eg- j atives, that it is necessary to he on one’s ! guard, and not to mistake her glimmeringvis ! ion for satisfactory demonstrations. j A Word to Young Men. Wishing and sighing, imagining and dream ing of greatness, will not make you great.— But cannot a voting man command his ener- j gies? You must gird up your loins and go to work with all the indomitable energy of j Napoleon scaling the Alps. It is your duty ] to make the most of time, talents, and oppor- j tunities. Alfred, King of England, though ho performed more business than any of bis , subjects, always found time to study. Frank | lin, in the midst of his labors, found time to dive into the depths of philosophy, and ex | plore an untrodden path of science. Frede | rick the Great,with an empire at his direction, in the midst of war, and on the eve of battle, ! found time to revel in the charms of philoso i phy, and feast on the luxuries of science.— j Napoleon, with Europe at his disposal, with king* at his ante-chamber, and at the ! head of thousands of men, whose destinies were suspended on his arbitrary pleasure, j found time to converse with books. And [ young men who are confined to labor or busi ness even twelve hours a day, may take an hour and a half of what is left, for study, and which will amount to two months in the course of the year. Love ami Learning. To-day should love to-morrow, for it is a thing of hope; let the young future not be nursed by care. God gave not fancy to the j child that men should stamp its blossom \ down into the loose soil of intellect. The j child’s heart was not made full to the brim of love, that men should pour its love away, and bruise instead of kiss the trusting inno cent. Love and fancy are the stems on which we may graft knowledge readily.— What is called by some dry folks a solid foundation maybe a thing not desirable. To cutdown all the trees and root np all the flow ers in a garden, to cover walks and flow er-beds alike with a hard crust of well-rolled gravel, that would be to lay down your solid foundation after a plan which some think good in a child’s mind, though not quite worth adopting in a garden. O, teacher, love the child and learn of it; so let it love and learn of you. Thought*. To be universally intelligible is r.ot the least merit in a writer. In nature there’s no blemish but the mind; none can be called deformed but the unkind. The poet’s sotd should be like the ocean, able to carry navies, yet yielding to the touch of a finger. The more nearly our minds approach to a state of purity in this fife, the greater will be our chance for realizing true happiness. If men would hut follow the advice which they gratuitously bestow upon others, what re formation would be effected in this world! Teach self-denial, and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer. All Sorts of Paragraphs. The following, which we find under the head of “A Compromise,” appears to us to illustrate pretty well the relative positions of the South and North: One cold night Quashee awoke from his sleep and addressed his shivering bedfellow: “Hallo, Sambo! I want half do cubber ing.” “Ho ! Quashee, you got more nor half al ready.” “Humph! den, tink dis nigger fool to ax for what he got already, eh ! I want t’udder half, you fool.” “Jimbo! den I quit, for I no see what busi- ness I got in dis bed.” “No, you won’t quit, neider, my brudder— you sarb berry well for keeping my back warm, so just keep quiet and lay w'here you is, if you know what is good for yourself, you nigger.” Hypocrisy and masking cost a good deal of trouble and watching, and with all the anxiety and vigilance that are bestowed are generally detected. The way, according to Socrates, to obtain a good reputation, is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. Shakspeare says, “men should be what they seem.” Judge Sharkey has made a speech at Vicksburg in favor of the compromise. This is the fourth time within four months that this ! gentleman has changed his position.— La. Statesman. Tight boots and shoes are the most perfect invention# that the genius of man ever ! devised as instruments of torture; but fash ion wills it, and they are endured. The old saying is: “To make a man a drunkard, give him a wife who wall scold him every time he comes home.” “Where are you going?” asked George Selwyn, of an acquaintance. “To see a friend.” ■ “Then I’ll go with vou, for I never saw one yet.” & know a tender maiden, As gentle as the spring, As summer showers,or summer flowers, Or any lovely thing. But yet this tender maiden Careth no more for me, Than ’mid tho stars the pale moon car** For the poor love-sick sea. Then don’t bother her, if she doesn’t “care anything for you !” Don’t go about whining like a sick monkey. Look up somebody who will care for 3'ou, if you are worth being cared for. “Papa, what is humbug?” Parent—(with a deep drawn sigh.) “It is, my dear, when your mamma pretends to he fond of me, and puts no buttons on my ; shirt.” you are about to imprint the cherry ripe kiss upon your lady love, to have someone pop in? Or, after it is did, to observe someone in the corner of the room ? A Scotch blacksmith being asked the meaning of metaphysics, explained it as fol lows: “When the party who listens dinna ken what the party who speaks means; and when the party who speaks dinna ken what he means himself—that is metaphysics.” The finest cosmetic we know of is early rising, exercise in the open air, temper ance in eating and drinking, cleanliness, and last, though not least, perpetual good hu mor.

One in stance in particular, in which the superior virtue* of this medicine have been tested, ha* fallen under our observation. During the last summer,* son of Mr. Abraham Crabill, of this county, was very se riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying ! in vain variou* remedies, he purchased a bottle of the j Bitter*, and after using it, was to much rlieve[ of hi* distressing malady, that lie procured aaotksr ket tle, and i* restored entirely to health.”’ Read Further a Fete Facts.

Dr. Jackson possesses the original unpublished receipt of Dr. Hoofland, and he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or see that his name \ is written upon the- wrapper outside, and blown in the j bottle, as imitations of good articles are common.” Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci ! entific and literary attainments, said in his “New j York Weekly Messenger,” January 0. 1850; “Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters. —Here is a pre ! partition which the leading presses in the Union ap pear to h unanimous in recomending, and th rea son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times, tits late Dr. Christopher ‘Wilhelm Hoofland, Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician | to the Kingof Prussia, and one of the greatest, medi | cal writers Germany has ever produced, lie was j emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefor# a I medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser ! may be perfectly relied on.

Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com plaints arising from a disordered condition of the j stomach, the liver and th# intestines. Nine Phila delphia papers express their conviction of its excel- j ience, and several of the editors speak of its effects from their own individual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel warranted not only in calling the attention of our readers to the present proprietor’s (Dr. C. M. Jackson’s) preparation, but in recom mending tli# article to all afflicted.’’ More. Evidence. Th# “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” th# be*t family newspaper published in th# United States, the editor says of DR. HOOPLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. “ It is seldom that we recommend what arc termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Iloofland's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinct ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos trums of the day that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guility race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which lias met the lieatty ap proval of the Faculty itself.” Evidence upon evidence has boon received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos trums combiued, a fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when presented even in this form. That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver— it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases —the effect is immediate. They can be administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Bctcare of Counterfeits.
