A MIGHT ADVETI RC O.Y THE HEATH. During my la-t visit to England, I was staying for a few weeks at a retired village in Sussex, nearwkieh there was a largo extent, of common land. Sever al fir plantations stood upon this com mon, off irding shelter to a great many pheasants, which natuteliy lead to’poach ing, the laws against which areaharter ous relic of the feudal times. While I was residing there I was compelled to be a witness against two poachers, and although it is likely they would have been convicted without uiy ass stance, still my evidence made the matte- more certain, and both men were imprisoned. I was still in the neighborhood when their term of imprisonment had expir ed, and some friends hinted that these men were very bad characters, and might seek for an opportunity to be revenged upon mo I was not alarmed however, and did not hesi'atc to take my nocturnal rambles, if s> inclined. One lonely ;ta light night I wandered out, as usual, and walked to the wild and tie -date common that I have already mentioned I wrg arnel m-re'y wit'i a short, st r u’s ick, which, however, was loaded at tbecni, and was a formidable weapon in the hands <f one who knew how to use it Having gained a most retired 1 -oality where I was she'er< dfr m the light wind that blew, I sat down amidst some tall heather, and close behind some scat tered pi.ie tress. A road, or rather a bca'en track, was within a few yards of me, but so rarely did any travelers ever elect this route, that no interruption was likely to occur, and I believe I might remain quiet for hours, if so dis posed, and li-ten to the tinkling of the sheep bell, the screach of the owl, tho whirr of the night hawk, and contem plate eaoh twinkling star whilst thought followed thought in strango array I was not, however, left long in qui et, for a half hour had elapsed before I heard footsteps coming along the path which l had myself previously trodden. So culm was the night that the tread of the travelers must have been heard by me when the people were three hundred yards distant, although, yet 1 could soon distinguish, there was every endeavor, made to tread with cau tion and avoid nois-*. The foot steps came Dearer aud near, cr, whilst every now and then they ceas ed altogether, ss though the people, whoever they might be were listening. Not withiDg to be seen or to be dis turbed I crouched down, so that my head was quite concealed by the long furze amidst whieh I was sitting; yet 1 could obtain a view nearly all around me, but more particularly in the direj ti„n of tho roadway, as the st.r-illuotin cd sky was the only back ground in that direcion. I wondered why any person could be walking in this lonely looality so late at night, as I did not believe that another individual in the posicirel similar taste to myself. 1 was interest ed in di-ieoviring who the wanderers might be, and theres ire kept my atten tion directed to the road along which it was etidtnt tho strangers w. ro ap proaching. T s on obtained a glimpse of the people as they stood out in relief against the sky, and I saw two men with the usual countrymen’s bats on. They were walking very slowly, and every now and then stopp'd, and after half a minute’s siknee, spoko in low tODCS. Preantly they came within ten paces of me, and again stopped. 1 did not move hand or limb, but listened atten, tivcly, being under the impression that the men, whoever they might he, were plotting mischief, and I suspected that they weie poachers. After standing quietly for a few seconds, one sf tho men spoko in a and said i “There b< au’t a sound as I can hear, I think he will come this way." ■‘l be sure o’ that Bob,” replied the other, ’case I heorn Master Edwards at the ‘Lion,’ tell Jim, he was coming in to night by eleven o’clock.” “Then we’ll wait hero for him,” to which tho other agreed. Tha two m"r» thm moved out of thi path-wav, aud by the slight noise they made.l knew that tley had stationed themselves among the fir trees on the opposite ride of the path-wav, to that in* which I was coocealcd. They were now too far distant to permit me to heir their remark', although 1 could occadmally distingui-li the tnnud of their v<>!■'(**. I now began to speculate on tho ob ject tl*a f lei thes! men to conceal them selves in this singular manner I was merely aware that they were anxious to rn'itt »orao man, who was cxpectol along the rmd, but whether this was to be a friendly meeting or tho reverse, I could not guess. That some mischeif was brewing, I felt tolerable oct t dn, but could lecide upon nulling more. At fir it I fancied that tho-e men m : ght be poachers, whom I had aided to convict., and that they were m search of me probably to take their rovenge, but the remarks I had heard al> >ut “Master K lward,” who was the landlord of the ‘Lion/ in duced me to thhik that a mee ing was expe to*l withs ame other p non, prob ably with soma man, who was to dis— pise of some game that had been paacbed. f hawever decided to remain quiet, and see the adventure t*> the end. Fully a quarter of an hoar elapsed without any noise biing hoard by me. I had to change my position slightly so as to ease mv arm, on which I was res ing, but I made no noise in doing this, ary] therefire the two men oppo site could not have heard me, hut at the end of the time mentioned, there came a sound of fiotsteps from the same direction, ns th it from which the two men had come. As tho porsft i who waa approaching came nearer and nearer, 1 noticed that thcro was the same caution used as had been bt-fire practiced, the man stopping occasionally, as though to listen. When the two men heard the person oonrng toward them, they moved cau tiously from the fir trees, and crept close to the road. I was n*w atten’iv'*, for I could not tell how black a crime, might be committed on this w Id common. Concealed as I was however, I seem ed to posses tjo power of either stopp ing some act, or at hast, of alarm ing the plotters, if I conM do nothing e'so, for I was Ruffieien ly skilled in word-?taft to be enabled to (in 1 my way through a f rest, ovon by night, and if pursued by two or three men, I cruld evade them by practicing certain arts with which I was acquainted. Be sides being armod with such a cudgel as mine, I did not fear to encounter two country pumpkins. T theres >re waited pa'iently, feeding myself quite master of 'he occasion. The stranger, who was now nn pr aching hid react ed wii bin abmt fif ty pao n s (f the two concealed men, when bo eive a low whistle. I ins'ant ly hoard the latter say, “Its Jim,” and one of them responded with a similar whistle. The stranger immediately came to the two men and said, “he’ll bo hare ia ten minutes, but he’s got his g« n ; “That aint do matter, if yer does, as I told yer, ho ( ll n* t use it in a hurry and you’d bang him from behind, ami Joe and 1 will close with him in the front.—only mind, you come up to him *’ Some few words pass'd, during which I became aware, of tho iniqui tous plot that was about to be put in execution. Two of the three men near me were those who had hit ly been con victed of poaching, and the man who was rxpeoted along the path, was a steady well conducted gamc-koepor, 1 who had a wife and three or f >ur children ; he was esteemed by all tho people in the neighborhood, with the exception of some of the worst charac ters, who it was well known, wore bent on Tovonging themselves on him for fines and imprisonments to which Crotts (so the keeper was called,) had been instrumental in bringing on them. I det rmined therefore to wait my opportunity, and sec if I could not turn the tables on the rascals, and save Crotts from the thrashing, which I beleivcd these men meditated to bestow on their supposed persecutor. I did rot thiuk that tho poachers had determined to commit murder, if possible,and thus to rid themselves of Crotts, but I must not anticipate. | Two of the men, thoic who had first cjme on the scene, now sat and >wn by j the roadside, whilst the third moved I backward, and crawled amongst the { heather, so as to bo completely conceal ed. Every now and then, they spoke in low t'Hi 8 and 1 could hear an o«th mus ered occasionally; hut so feaiful was I that any movement of mine might reveal my presence and thus spoil my counterplot, that I feared to in ova my head, lest 1 might attract the attention cf the poachers. After about ten minu'es footsteps were distinctly audible, the cause of the s unds coming rapidly nearer. A man was evidently walking quickly, nnd was following the path which led past the ambushed men ; not a move ment was now made by those who were crouching on the path, and tho stranger strode boldly forward, until within about ton paces of the two meD, He had thou left the single concealed man behind him, and was thus between his mo nies, having two in front and ono behind. At this instant, one of the men in front B'ood up, and said : ‘Mlullo, who are you?” “Who am I,” repeated the keeper ; “why I’m Crofts. And who are you ?” “Why don’t you know me ?’’ said the other ; leastways ye ought to, fur I've got aomething to say to you.” “Oh, you’re Banks ; 1 know now,” said Crusts; “aud tho less you’ve to Buy to ntc the better, unless yoir intent! to giro wp your butl habits, and take to working honestly, ns you ought to ” “Working honestly?” said Banks who burst out into a loud laugh, and seemed so tickled with the joke, that ha danced about ia the frtie, making, as ho did so, a great noise. At this instant I saw a crouching fi.rnro earning up behind (’n/ts, whose attention seemed fully taken up with tho man in front of him ; and before hft was aware of his danger, he was seiz'd bv the neck from liehind, and was pulled suddenly backward, w hilst the two men t u bed on him from in front. 'Hie proceeding was executed, for the three were ti|>on him before ho had time to use his gun or defen 1 himself, although he was a powerful, active man. I hoard one of the three say : 1 You knows me now, don’t yor.— You wi l never give evidence agon mo aga : n, I will take care ? ’ I waited for nothing further, but moved quickly, yet quietly to tho group. There was no mistaking friends for foes, for ono man was h*4d on tho ground by two others, whilst a thin! seemed to be occupied about the neck of the keeper. Just as I, unseen, joined the group, tho man on tho ground ceased strug gling, and in a voice of horror, said : “You ain’t going to murder mo !” “Won’t I though ? ’ replied the othor ; “but I will Those words were Bcarvoly out <>l his mouth boWe my leaded stick de scended with a crash upon his hare head, and he rolled over beside the keeper A second blow was glveruto the man who had crept on Crofts from behind, and lie released his hold and staggered backward, at tho same in stant the keeper, finding himself free, jumped to his feet with his gun again in his hands.

With a greater amount of bile in the hl ied than is natural, the result is that the eyes an i akin begin to wear a yel low a- pearanse, whilst various otbo* symptons manifest themselves, accord ing tn the temperament, habits and pc culi*riti*‘B of ths individual; one has sick-bcadacbe, anothur complain of want of appetite, sime time loathing the very appearance of food, a third has cold loot and hands, a fourth has cl illy sensations, involving the whole body, cr running up and down the back, a fifth is oastive ; women become hysterical, and laugh, o.y, and talk, while men are moodpeevish or morose. Bile is na'urdly of a bright yellow color, hut as man becomes more billious, it grows darker, aud is at length as black as tar, causing a state of mind, which the K'unanscall altrahillity, attra meaning black ; a hcowl is oa the countenance, and t! c person is ill-tempered and fret ful, finding fault with everybody and evcr>thing, hence whin a man is cross, ho is Li i iu", and ought to bo pi ied, and at the same timo he made to take an emciic. The ill-natured are never well, they are “bilious.’’ The system is clogged up, the machinery doen not w rk well, and both mind and body arti disordered. The safest and best method ot get ting rid of biliousness, is e’eidy work in the open air f r six or eight hours a dny in the open air, working to the extent of keeping op a gentle moisture on the rkin. This moisture conveys the bile away out of the system* The same result will be accomplished, but not so well, by a good steam bath, or by wrap ping up in bed, drink'ng hot tea*", thus getting tip a p»r.-piralion, hut tboatmos phero of tho room should be pure, and the diet should cooriat of cm>r c bread, and fruits—medicines thtt work on the liver will do the same thing, but they should be advised by the physician, when oth* r moans have failed. The office of the liver is to withdraw tlte bile front the blood It is the lar gest work-shop of the body, aud is at tho fight aide, about the lower edge of the riba. When it does not do its work it is said lo be ‘‘torpid’’—asleep —and medicines are given to stimulate it, wake it up, make it net, work faster than commoD, so as to throw ofl the excess of bile. When it does not with draw or separate tho bile from tho blood the skin grows yellow, also the whites of the eyes and the man has the “yellow jaundice.” When it sepa rates the bile from the blood, but re tains it within itself, constipation on. sues, appetite is lost, spirits become despondent, and the person is languid, lazy, fretful and irritable. Tho liver is iu a souse like a sponge, aud the bile way be pressed out of it ns water out of a «ponge, by press'ng the bull of thi hand over the n-gion of tho livor, downward, from hip to “pit of stotn aeb,” two or three minutes at a time, several tim >» a day. This is a good remedy in dyspepsia, ami also relieves the stomach of wind, giving immedi ate nnd grateful relief sometimes.— llalTt Journal of Health. Dr. Gralitnn's Wooing. nv z. t. n. “Go.d-«v( ning, Miss Milly” rang out the eheerry voice us young Dr. Gra ham. “Good-evening,” rep'tod the fair mai den, tossing her pretty h ad. Dr. Graham wa* the vibatre physi cian, having conic from New Y'ork to tho quiet village of Bell on, where ho com menced the practice of medicine with every prospeet of aucceis. His ooming created no little sensation among the fair sex, and many girls sccrotelj resolv ed to make a conquest of the young doctor Immediately after his arrival he made the acquaintence with all the marriagea ble girls in the neighborhood—widowsl excepted—and it s on became evident that, Dr. Graham was in search of a wife. ! Milly Clement was the daughter of a respectable farmer residing in tho neigh hood. She was roputaled wealthy; how ever, her riches were based on nrpecta tion. Miss Barbara Milton was an old maid aunt of Milly*.* - nsequ-ntly she would b Jbor aunt’s heiress. Dr. Graham by dint of qucaiim and inquiries ascertained all of the particu lars and circumstances of the Clement family. Aunt Baibura was old andde— e*e 4; cetlainly she sould not livo long in this vale of tears. So Dr. Graham laid his plans accordingly. He divotcd himsolfto Mill; exclusively, and socn it was whispered that more than mere friendship existed bet ween them. Mr and Mrs Clement* snarl and be nignly ov Dr. Graham’s courtship, and every thing went merry as a marriage bell. But.as the old adage says, there’s many slip *t,wixt cup and lip,” so it hap penol that Dr. Grahsm came to grief. Milly waa greatly flattered by bis preference for hor oomoany never dream ing or doubting that her pretty face was the object of his adoration. One evening, Milly escorted by Dr. Graham, went over to Miss Barbara Mil ton’s bumlli domicile to spend a few hours in a social chat with the old lady. A conversation ran on charity, and Dr. Graham who wished to impress Mis* Milton with his importance, grew very enthusiastic over the * übjeet. ‘•Charity," said he, is the most enno bling of all virtues.’* Aunt Milton was notbohindin enthu siasm. “O, yes, charity is a g-ent virtue I have half a mind of endowing ’s tn" charitadle purpoios," she said with alac rity. Dr Graham turned pale. “Oh, to,” ho nmered, “I wo old net. “And why not?" a k'd'aunt Milton, sharply. IDre Milly interposed, and tho sub ject was dropped, leaving Aunt Milton firm in her determinations to endow aome building for charitable purposes. Di. Graham was silent vtid reserved on his way homo. Heaskol Milly if tier aunt ever changed her mind. “Not a« I know of 1 ” was the reply; but I am glad, for I was always airaid of marrying timo ono that wanted my money.” “You mayWl your heart on that /score’ replied the doctor, smiling sweetly, al though every word she uttered went like barbed arrows to his heart. On arriving at the little gate he did not go in rs it was his custom, but bade her a cold good night and walked qui etly away. The next day he left for New Y’ork, on a short visit, without leaving one word for Milly, who was lieginuing to see through the veil of mystery that sur rounded the gallant love', “A fortune hunter 1” she repeated, scornfully, to aunt Milton, who was in quiring after him. The old 1 idy was very much surprised, so much so that she thought seriously before lending chari’y a helping hand, aud at length gave up tie sebemo f *revcr. Milly soon forgot Dr, Graham, and was engaged to a worthy man before six months had fl iwn over her head. Aunt Milton died shortly after, and by hor w:ll Milly came into possession of tho snug little sum of one hundred thousand dollars. Dr, Graham upon hearing this, in stantly returned to Bellton and called upon Milly, asking hor forgiveness and offering hor his heart and hind in mar riage. ll* was so rofully lefused. A sow days ater he r oeived Milly’* wed ding cards. Mortified, enraged and dis appointed, ho hastily left never more to return. It is hoped he is a wiser if not a bitter man. A sell. —A joke was perpetrated up on some of the residents of a neighbor ing town a ihnrt time since. A wag gave out that he had a •‘dime and pin” in his possession, and de ired to raffle it, whereufona number of speculative per sons became eiger to obtain a “throw" of the dice in its behalf. Thirty or forty handed in funds for this privilege, but as soon as the raffl ■ was over, and tho name of the winner declared,their face tious friend co. Uy drew fromhi* pocket a ten con t piece with a pin thouhg if, and with tho mo t audacious gravity presented it, congratulating him at the same time npon his good fortune.
