M. SPEAR,Executor 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 these den j e olive branches, and here ap proachel with swords and staves —the emis saries of the chief priests and elders of the people And these sili nt trees were the witness of the awful treason of that night, when the professed friend and follower be trayed Him with a kiss, and of HU divine forbearace when be oalmly said to His be trayer, “Friend, wherefore art thou come ?“ 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 vine forgetfulness of self, said to His zeal ous disciple, “Put up again thy sword into its place, for all they that take the sword shall perish by the swordhare that with lamb like submission He gave Himielf up, ant) addressed a reproach to the multitude ftrtto oamft upon Him armed with staves and swords as if He was a malefactor 5 it was here—oh, shameful to relate -that in that dark hour His disciples fled and lof: Him alone in tho lad {of the b r ler 01 miltitude 1 l unconsciously resnmed, in my own mind the thread of what he had be m saying, and I srw the dark figures of the fleeing disci ples vanishing io the shades of tbo night, 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 ignation of the central figure, and the frown ing vissages of the ohief priesti and elders by whom he was surrounded. I ooul l see the ray* of light flick wing through the foli age, and glancing athwart the gnarled trunks and branohes, an 1 th > shadowy forms of the people in the hsok ground. I could follow the abandoned J. sus, acc inpsnied by the tlbisy multitude, across tbe brook and up the winding path to tbe gates of that ungrate ful city over which He had wept, and I could discern tbe figure of Peter gliding along in the dark behind. The angels in heaven must have Wept, that night at the inhumenity of Ulan towards his Savior! Sympathy there most have been in that oclestial world—on earth there Was nonel night Work. 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.

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. The girls in Michigan are takingdeoisive measures with the undecided young men. A girl asked a young man when Le intend ed to marry her.

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. •Can you toll mo, sir,” said a stranger to a gentleman in s ball-room, “who that lady is near tbe second window—that very vain* looking ladyf” That is my sister sir,” replied the person addres ed, withs formidable look. ’ ' “No, no, I don’t mean her,” said the un fortunate intenogator. “I mean that ugly woman leaning against the piano,; there’s about as much impression in her tace as in s bowl of bonnyclabbcr.” “That, sir is my wife.” “No no,” gosped the miserable stranger, the perspiration starting from every pore. “Good gracious 1 I wish I could make you understand me 1 I mean that blear eyed object in pink silk, the one so awful homely—l should be afraid she would splin ter a looking-glass just by looking into it.
