An Adventure urilh Tiger*.
Itt one of the vTages which skirt the
jungle district in the limn buy Prexidncy.
there lived a native flfatw-cutter twined
Hatwiin, who went etch dnv to the jungle
itt company with hi* ferow-laborers, t >
procure grass, which they stacked in bk\n-»
dies, and sold to truvele-s for their cat’le.
On a certain occasion there wan an unit
«uul demand for green, owing to n .urge
party of travelers being expected on the
morrow Hannan determined upon doing
something for himself, that he might reap
a rich harvest out of his sale of grant
Be it upon thin purpose, and having a lit
tle daylight yet '6inaining, ht issued fo.th
accompanied by hit only non, a youth ol
twelve They had not procredeJ far
when a huge tiger spr .ng upoa the boy
and carried him away.
Tbo poor father was completely panic
stricken with fear, and hantenod with all
npeed to the village and rained an alarm.
A* it wan too late to at’empt to rescue the
boy, darkness having already set in, it was
determin and to make an attem] t on the mor
row to track the tiger. An experienced
ahekaree offered to head the expedition.
Luckily, among the new arrivals on the
following day was a purty of English offi
cers who had come out on a tiger-hunting
expedition, and were well provided for the
purpose, having with them two trained el
e, hauts. When the sad tale < f the ill-fa
ted grass-cutter’s boy was told them, they
offered to assist the villagers to thiir hunt
for the offending tiger.
The villagers, who were armed with
spears and shields, formed the van of the
party, and the officers brought up the rear
On arriving at the spot where the boy
had been seised by the tiger, the villagers
spread themselves out in pairs, and com
menced to “beat the hush” by raising
piercing cries, and vig''•ously thumping
snme ’am-tamSj or native drums The par
ty of < fficers kept a '.harp Wok-out in tbe
ineanAiiue.
At last a spot was reached where the
tokens pototeu to the probability of a tigers
lair being not far distant. Bones were
thickly strewn about ani a peculiar rank
smell clung to the spot, The elephant-1
began to evince by unmistakable signs that
they sconced danger. They became very
res less, trembled, and made that peculiar
noise which always indicates uneasiness
and dr. ad. To the astonishment of both
the officers and the villagers, s pair of ti
gers, male and female, made their appear
ance, accompanied by two cubs. The vil
agers quickly d>ew aside and grouped them
selves together for safety’s sake. This tin
looked for occurrence caused the officer-,
as true sportsman, to be delighted at the
number of tbe game, but yet to feel a
nervous fear, for they conjectured that a
desperate conflict was at hand, as tigers
fi.’ht, despera’ely, especially the females,
when their cubs are in danger.
The parent tigress stood in the opening,
apparently in a state of irresolution, whilst
their cubs frisked and gamboled around
th m, unconscious ot the presence of dan
ge-, and, as they stood in a defiant atti
.tlde, whiek-ng their tails and glaring with
anger at the intruders on the privacy of
their domestic hearth, they formed a beau
tiful picture, indeed.
The attack was commenced by ‘he offi
cers, who delivered a we 1 directed voile/,
which badly wounded the male tiger and
stretched one of the cubs dead. The ti
gress, which was unhurt, stood over her
fallen cub, and licked the blood which ooz
ed from its wounds. She appeared to be
utterly oblivious of the danger which
threatened h rself, nor was she aroused
from this state until she wns struck by the
second volley fr rn the officers’ rifles by
which she was severely wounded. The
savage nature of the beast, and the mater
nal instinct for the safety of her young, row
came out into bold reli f. She was fully
aroused and enraged, and ut’ering roar
upon roar she charged with impetuos;ty
upon the nearest elephant. Fastening up
on the animal’s trunk, she endeuvored by
persistent efforts to reach its head. The
elephant, however, displayed great tact in
repelling the determined attempts of the ti
gress to reach higher quarters. He en
dcavored to coil Lis trunk round her, fail
ing in which fie whir ed her aloft, ondjthen
sought to dash her to the ground. It was
a very exciting scene io; the party in tbe
howdah, aud tbe poor mahout had to cling
for support to the same or otherwise he
would have been thrown to the gr und
I he officers could not use their rifles with
out running the risk of w-unding the ele
phant. The officers on the other elephant
could render no assistan e, either, for it
would have been highly dangerous for them
to have fired, as the elephant wh : ch was
battling with the tigress was not in the
same position for a moment together.
Pming this combat tbe male tiger, be
ing very badly hurt, turned tail, anil made
off us fast as his hurts would permit. A
short pursuit found him in an iinpenetra
blo den. Housed from this with crackers,
he gave a great bound, and slighted upon
one of the villagers. Fortunately, he re
ceivel the tig r upon his shield, and al
though quickly borne t > the ground, he
sustained but tirtling injuries. His fellow
—they had b'-en stationed in pairs—-drove
his .-pear well home iu the tiger, and tiien
turned and fled.
The tiger, after snapping the staff of the
spear with the greatest oa e, left his pros
trate foe, and pursued the fleoing man.
The guide, who wus near at hand, ahouted
to him to turn quickly aside to the left,
which he did. The guide now sent nis
spear with unerring aim into the tiger, and
be was followed by one of tbe other villa
gers, who also wounded him, and he was
obliged to sink to the earth. The villagers
now made a rash to dispatch him, but they
were quickly compelled to flee, as the tiger
rose on their approach, and prepared tore
new tbe combat.
The guide now determined upon attack
ing tbe tiger single-handed. With
this intent, he stationed himself in front of
tbe beast, and stood immovable until the
tiger was almost upon h<m, when, spring
ing quickly aside, he p’unged bis knife in
to the beasts neck as it passed him. Tbe
thrust was fatal, for tbe tiger sank to the
earth dead. The carcass of the tiger was
slung on a pole and was carried in this
manner by a couple of the natives, and the
party retraoed its steps to tbe spot where
the others were.
In the meantime the efforts of the tigress
to Beach »he e’ephsnt’s head w. re rendered
unsuccessful through thi determined oppo
sition with which they were met She
managed to get in Year of the elephant, and
succeeded in springing ou its hind-quar
ters.
Oih of the officer- 1 , Lieutenant Mildmay,
h»d but time to Utter an exclamation of
n'nrm, and to raise hie riflo mechanically,
when the beast m ide for him and seizing
his rifle in her mouth, gave a violent tug,
which caused her to overbalance, when
falling to tho ground, she drew him with
her. To seize the offi.ter in her jaws and
to make off with him was but the work < f
a moment. Th* remaining officers Wefe
cunpleto’y horrified and almo t paralyzed
at the soeue which they were witnessing.
One of them, howev r, quickly recovered
his presence of mind, and determined 'icon
making an effort to save his comrade
He was a crack shot with a rifle; indeed,
it wai reported that be w s the b Bt ii the
Presidency. Culling 19 the mahout to keep
the elephant as qutot as possib’e, and cau
tioning his comrade officer to lie perfectly
still, he “drew a upon the tigress,
and awaited a favorable opportunity to de
liver his fire.
Fortunately the tigress halted when she
reached her cub, and upon turning to
plunge into the junzle presented n fair
mark for the officer’s rifle Taking a steady
and delib ra’e aim for a spot just below
the ear of the tigress, he flred. Hurrah !
Tbe tigress rolled over to’ the agon’e* of
death, but still retained the officer in her
grip. The officers quiokly dismounted, and
running with breathless haste to the spot,
were ov rjoyed to hear the voice of their
friend who said:
“I'm all right, but release me as quick
as possible ”
This was quickly performed, and when
the officer found h msclf safe, his emotions
overcame him, and he fell to the ground
in a swoon. When he came to, it was
DUnd that he had sustainel no injuries
from the grip of the tigre-'s, which hud on
ly ■ zed his clothing.
The Garden o( Gcthsemane.
Outside the walls on the eastern side
near tbe gate of St. Stephen, a fine view
may be had of this beautienl garden, the
most highly cultivated piece of ground
about the Holy City. From this stand
point one can see down into it, with its dark
'•live foliage in agrcable contrast to the whit
ish gray of the surround iug rocks.
The garden consists of about half an acre,
nearly square, and surrounded by a high
wall. Tbe entrance like most enclosures
of buildings ontdde of 'he protecting walls
of Jerusalem, is guarded by a low doorway,
and massive iron door.
After loud and repeated knockings the door
is slowly opened by a Franciscan monk, the
guardian and girdner of tbe place, who was
called Anedo.
The monk gardner is as surly as a mas
tiff on first acquaintance; but in time as one
sets more nf him, he thaws out and beoomes
more or less 0 >mmun:oative
Tbe garden contains eight aged olive
trees, which form the oldest grmp of trees
in tin Valley of Jebosaphat along the font
of the mountain. The wall that suriouods
these trees was built a few year* ago to pre
vent the eutl usiaslio pilgrims from destroy
ing them in cubing a mveoirs. One of the
old trees, which stands to the south of the
Garden, that was not included within the
wall, nest began to be mutilated, when the
Frandiscans also encircled a protecting
wall about its aged limbs.
These treets are unquestionably of tbe
highest antiquity and are hollow, and sel
dom bear fruit ou aecou.it of their great age.
Their hollow trunks are filled up with
stnneqto mike them strong agiiust the
high winds of winter, and the roots are also
terraced about with stenes. At loig inter
vals, when these trees bear, the plives are
carefully by tbe Ersniisoan ra mks
and the thus obtained is presented to the
distinguished sons ot tbe ehurch in Europe.
Diubtless tbe roots of one of the trees was
watered with the tears of Jesus, during the
night of “ agony and bloody swea*,” when
in deepsubmis ion to the grand plan of re
demption. He said “O, my Father, if this
cap may not pass away from me except I
drink, Thy will be done!’’
As I sat upon a stone under one of tbe
trees, I recalled to memory the seene of
that terrible night. My Latin fiiend, who
had accompanied mein several of my walks,
stood near me, and p-int-dto tbe opposite
bank of th * Kedron. “See !” said he, ‘that
path winding down from the gate of St.
Stephens. It was by tha* path tho Master
descended with bis disciples after breaking
bread and singing a hvmo with them in the
uppet room iu Mount Zion. Netf'hebr ok
lie said to them, ‘‘Sit ye here, while I go
and pray yonder.” ‘‘And He took with
Him Pdter and tbe two sons of Zebedee,
and began to be sorrowful and heavy.
On that ledge of rock lay the drowsy
disciples, who could not watch with Him
in his agony for one short hour, although
twice aroused by the Master, and where,
at last, knowing that his hour wag come,
He told them to sleep on and take their
rest. It was there He told Hi* wondering
followers that the betrayer approached
Then appeared the light of torches through

It was there the indignant Peter, sparred
by the foul proceedings against his Master,
drew bis sword and Btrnck the servant of tbe
High Priest. Here that Jesns, with a di

I srw the dark figures of the fleeing disci

and the armed multitude cme r g'ng from the
grove of olive tree*, with the lurid glare ttf
their torches flashing upon that sane of res

the ray* of light flick wing through the foli

the abandoned J. sus, acc inpsnied by the

could discern tbe figure of Peter gliding
along in the dark behind.

Many of the most brutal mnrders and
greatest crimes perpet-ated in the oity of
New York, are committ'd by persons un
der twonty-five years of age. This shows a
very early corruption of morals, and as an
eminent jurist once said, is easily traceable
to the habit of being from home after dark.
Lord Shaftesbury state 1 from the bench
that in nearly all the oases of great crimes
which oame before him, tbe evidence show
ed that the moral character became vitiated
between the ages of eight and sixteen." These
two terrible facts put together should make
every oity parent, especially, tremble; and
if it should lead to ihe adoption of the fol
lowing suggestions, it will save many a heart
from going down to tho grave, from an em
bittered old age ;
D > not allow your children to form tho
habit of “going home” to spend tbe night
with their companions—no, not once in a
year.
Keep them out of the streets aftor sun
down, unless you arc wit * them.
Do all that is possible to have a cheerful,
loving firis'de, as a mean of winning them
from the street. Much can bo done in
this direction by providing amusements, and
having the children occupied in something
which i9 intercs'ing, profitable, or new.
Keep their birthdays; let them be ocea
sioDs of harmlois festivities; arrange that
all the holidays, too, shall be observed appro
priately Little parties given now and thee
to those ot their own age, are a source of
much delight to rh'lbreo, and they may be
so conducted as to be of great benefit mor
ally, socially and physically,
Let the father and mother remember that
the exhibition before their children of a lov
ing, affectionate and quiet deportment to
wards one an other in the home circle, is a
powerful bond of union in a family; the
ve'y sight of it wakes up affectionate sym
pathies in the hearts of children, and cher
ishes tbe same delihg'ful feelings in them
selves : and soon Ihe bouse beoomes a home

Many homes are m tde distasteful to chil

What Newspapers Do for Noth*
Ing.
Tbe following articles should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
newspaper without paying for it:
M, observation enables me to state as a
fact, that pubti-bers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than an j other dies of men
iu tbe Uoited State* who invest an equal
amount of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do more nervi ei for
lets pay, to atand more sponging and “dead
heading,” to puff and defend more persons
witheu. fee or reward, than any oher class.
They credit wider and 1 mger, get oftener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary losses, are
oftener the victims es misplaced confidence
than auy other calling in the (.ommuoity.
People pay a printer’s bill with more reluct
ance than any other. It goes harder with
them to expend a dollar on a valuable news
paper than ten on a needless g*wg»w; yet
everybody avails himself of the editor’s pen
and printer's ink. How many professions,
and political reputations and fortunes have
been made and sustained by the frieodly
but unrequited aid of the editor ? How ma
ny embryo towns and cities have been
brought iuto notice and puffed mb ), rosper
tty by the press ? How many railroads
oow in successful operation would have
foundered, “but for the lever that moves tbe
world?” In shert what branch of iudus
try and activity has n t been (r-toSoted
stimulated and defended by tbe proMt ?
And who has tendered it more than a
miserable pittacc for its service. Tbe baz
aars of lasbions and the haunt* of dissipa
tion and afpetite are tbrnnged with an
er crowd, bearing gold in their palm, and
the commodities there vended are, sold at
enormous profirs, though iutrnsically
worthless, and paid for with scrupulous
punctuality; while tbe counting-room of
the newspaper is a seat of cheapening trade,
orders and pennies. It should be a point
of honor to liquidate a printer’s bill.

A Boy Stbdok Blind for Blasphem
ing.—The Brighton (England) Observer re*
lates the following remarkable incident of •
bov named Richards, living in Brighton i
The youth was thirteen years of age, hod
had been playing for some time with his
companions when a dispute arose between
them as to the number of “notches,” of
jumps Richards hsd soored. He declared
that he had made more than twenty, his
oponent declaring that he had not made so
many.
High words were used on both side*.
Each boy aooused tbe other of falsehood,
and at length Richards failing to convinoe
his companions of the truthfulness of his
statement, flew into a violent rage, and em
phatically shouted, “May God strike me
blind, if I have not made more than twenty.’*
He had scarcely uttered the adjuration,
before he let the “dog” fall oot of his hands,
and throwing np his arm exclaimed, “Ob,
dear 1 can tvsee 1” His companions ran to
him, and finding wbat he said was true, led
him home, where eti examination it was
found that a thick film had overspread each
of bis eyes. In this miserable condition tha
youth bps remained ever since, and we sre
informed that there is little or no prospect
of his site being restored.

“No, no, I don’t mean her,” said the un

about as much impression in her tace as in

“That, sir is my wife.”
“No no,” gosped the miserable stranger,
the perspiration starting from every pore.

fierce calmness, “is my eldest daughter.”
The stranger darted from the room, and
cleared the premises as though he had been
