When Kentncky was an j.ifant State,
and before the fi»ot of civilization had
trodden her giant forests, there lived
upon a branch of tfte I4re<*0 River an
t>ld hunter by the name ot Slater. His
hut was upon the southern bank «*f the
stream, and, save a small patch «»f some
dofcen stores that had laden cleared by
his own sx**, he was shut up by dense
forests. Slater had t*o children at
home with him—two fcons, Philip and
Daniel—the former fourteen, and the
latter twelve years of age His elder
children had gone South. His wife was
with him, but she had been for several
•year^ao almost helpless cripple fr«n
the effects «T severe rheumatism.
It was early in the fpring, and the
old hunter had 5‘ist retarned from Cy
lumbia, 'ivbeie he had been to VrjAry the
produce of his winter’ll laboT*,
consisted mostly of furs. He had re
ceived quite a sum of money, and had
brought it Woine with him. The old
man had for several years been accnmii
luting money, for civilization Was rapi«l

the family were silting down to the fru

sudden howling of the di gs, and as Sla
ter Went to the do r to see what wa^
the mutter, he saw three men approach
ing.
He quickly ordered the dogs, and
*€>11! MTangers app-ouc.ied the d***»r —
They asked lor something to «*.it, aim

but Slater took n • noiict* in itie circuin

ihah Tin* boys, however, did not lik
f thJfr afip«srHi*ce at all, and qui k g at*.
c«-s which Viey ^iVe Xt v*an*h other told
their feelings. The hunterV wile w:*.-
i»ot at the table, but she sat in her gic.t*
easy chair by the tare.
plater entered iut*» c<mv«*r.sution uifn
the guests, but ttisy were hot very free,
and alter a liitle while, ihc talk dwiu
died iut*» occasional q lestiotis. Pnifip,
the older of the' two, u«<tic*d 'th.*^ the
men cast uneasy glances about the room,
and tie whrehed ft» k eita narrowly. B.!s
fears had become excited, mid he enuid
not rest. He knew his father hud a
lat go sum of money in the house, and
his first thought was that these men
were there for the purpose of robbery.
After supper was over, the boys
quickly ilelircd off the table, and then
went out of d sirs. It had becoms dark,
or Vnfher the night had fairly set in for
Yliere was a irunm two* tlmils Yuf!, eh^
ing down, upon the forest.
•D.iiii 1,’ said Philip, in a low whi*.

over tiii* shoulder, ‘what Mu you think of

The boys then held some further con*
sullatioo, au«l then going to the dog
house, they set M»e small d ***r back, -o
that the hound? iniglit spring forth if
they wrH*e wauted k It they hud ifesrred
t*» speak t*» tlnrfh father about their sus
picions, they had in* chance, for the
strangers sat close t«* him ah the eve*

At lengthy however, the «*hi ui *n sig*
nifieil his" intenb*m of re iritig, and »a»w
to go oul of doors, t*» see the simile of
affairs without. Hie three followed him,
but they did not lake their weapons —
The oh I ladv was asleep in hei chair.
•Now,’ whispered Philio, let us lak**
two ol falhiT*s r fi up to **ur bed *e
may want them. We are as go al as
men with iho rifle.’
Daniel spr ing to obey, and quickly
as jiossible the b«»ys slippe*! the two
rifles ti-om their cl *sei behin*: the gr-at
si**ia* ciilmiir-y. and then h«Ntentil back
and tiuplied ih«* priming h ill theltrau
gersnfl s* When their father and the
strangers returned they had rcsiiin d
their seats.
The hunter’s cabin wa« divided into
two apartments *•« the ground fi »»>r, ofie
of them in thti titid of the building, be
ing the old man’s sleeping rimm, and
the Othek, in which the present compds
ny sat. Overhead there w aS a s., r t '
scuff .tdi.itr, '.'caching V»niy halt way over
t»*e r*K)in beiow it, and in the opposite
end «*f the building from the little sleep
ing apartment of the hunter. A Mtigli
ladder le«J up to the scaffold, close up
to the boys’ bed. There was no pafli^
tion at the edge of the scaffolding, but
it was all opeh t*i the l Ot»tii below.
Spare bedding was spread iip*«n the
of the kitchen for the travellers,
arid fcver^tnirig arranged fur tHeir eodw
fort, then the boys went up to their bed
and the old man retired to his little
r*H.cn.
Tne boys thought not of Bleep, or if
th»*y did, it was only to avoid it. Half
at) hour passed away-, and then they
could hear their father score. Then
they heard a movement from those be
low. Philip crawled out silently to
where he could peep down through, and
saw one of the rr.eh open his pacK, from
which he took several pieces of meat
by thq rays of the muon, and moving t*»
ward the window, he shoved the srish
back, and threw the pieces of flesh to
the dogs. Then he went back to his
bed aud laid down.
At first the boys thought this rrtight
be thrown to the d«*g^ to distract their
attention; but when the men laid down,
the idea of |K»is*»n flashed through Phil
ip*s miu*l. He whispered his thoughts
to hia brother Tne first impulse of fit
tie Danit-I, as he heard that his |*Oi»r
d«*gs were to be poisoned, was to cry
out, but u sudden pressure from the
baud of his fn other kept hi n silent.
At the end of the boy«’ bed was a
dark window, a small, square d«*»r, acd
it was directly over the dogs* hot** —
Puilip res feed to go down un i save
me nogs. The fihdert iking was a dan
geioas one, for the least noise would
irouse the viilians. and the consequence
might prove fat I. Hut Philip slater
iound himself strong in the heart, and
;ie determined tapoft the trial. His fath-
i-rV life ftaight be in his hands 1 Tliis
.nought was a tower of strength in itself.
Puilip openyd the window without
Moving from his bed, and il swung on
ts hinges without noise. Tlien he
.hiew off the .-shed, and tied the corner
*f ii To the Mwpie by which th window
was hooKed. TneVut'Sl w«s tb«Q |.*w-

oraVe **y let himself out U|m»ii it. He
• -i{j inad his hi obier m»; to move, and
ttieu be slid fioiselesnly down. The
"*>uml- bail j.ist ’found tlie meat, lint
liiey drew back at their young master’s
neck, and Puilip gathered the fie h ah
up. He easily quieted the tailhlui
In utce, aud th* n quickly lied the meat

-landing near the dog house, and setting
Ibis up agaiiitst the hui du.g, Pnibp
• nude his way back to his little loft, and
\ i.en mi«.e safely there, he pulied the
-heet in after him.
The strangeis had nc»t been aroused,
.yid with a lieu ting heart the boy I hank
ed God He had i»erlnini*'d an act
.-simple as it n ay appear, at which many
a stout heart Would have quailed. Tue
dogs gmwhid as they went back into
their kennel; and ii the strangers heard
ihem, they thought the p<x** animals
>vere growling over tiie Tepust they had
found.
At leng h, the bounds ceased their
noise, and all was quiet. An hour
passed away, and so did another. Ii
must have been neat ly mi * night when
tin y moved again, and the lad, Philip,
saw the rays of he caudle fl ish up
through the cracks of the floor on which
t?Ti>t*d his bed. He would have moved
to the ctack where he could pe* p down,
but at that moment he beard a man up
on the ladder. He uttered a q lick
whisper to his brother, and they la? per
fectly still. The fellow seemed to be
‘perfectly satisfied that they wcreVsleep,
lor ho s*hui returned to thegrouud floor,
and then Philip crept to the ciack. He
saw the* men take knives, aud h«> heard
them whispeiiug,—
‘We'll kill the old mm and woman
first,’ said one of them, ‘and then we ll
hunt the money. Il those lit tit* brats

‘But we u»u.-i kill them all/ kali an

‘Yes/ leturned the speaker, ‘but the

Philip's heart beat with horLnrr.
‘Down the laddtr onlsnfe ! quick !' be

Daniel quickly crawled through the
liitle VXihdow, and Philip seiz**«l a rifle
and crept to the head **f the in^uffol 1.*—
twu **t the villains ikv*ke just a|q»roacb-
,hg th** <f«W of »iis father's nmm. They
had s**t the caudle d«»un on the fl-* -r, so
tbal its light would fall int<» the be*l-
dnmi as tlie door was opened.
Philip drew the hammer «>f his riflfe
hack, and tested the muzz'e Upon the
edge of the board. One of the men had
h. s hand upon the latch. The boy here
uttered a single won! of heart felt prayer,
and then he pulled the trigger. The
villain wiios«* hand was oil the latch,
uttered one sharp, quick cry, and Ificrt
feli bn the floor Thefi ul’Ul had passed
lhn»ugh his bruin.
F r uti iiustsni the two remaining vil
lains were confounded, but they quickly
c inprehended the nature und misilion
ol their Vimmy, they sprang for the
ladder, They did not reach it, h«»wev-
er, for at that instant the outer door Was
flung open, and the hounds, lotlr i.i

Banging the Chincha Islands
Home-
One of the editing of this paper, for
the year 1868, gave the subject of
home m ole guano a careful study, and
he gives the mode adopted in making
tl»s experiment a d its results: The
hen house was a simple affair—only a
shed 18 by 10, opening on the south in
to a yard about 25 feet long and 10
wide, with puling* 8 feet high. An en
trance under the gate, not too large to
admit dogs or oUt*-r interloj»ers, was
made, and this rttde aff*ir was all the
outlay, except 100 head of }>ou!tiy that
we carefully collected every evening in
the yard. As soon as the fowls were
up and abroad, the fl »nr under the
roosts was carefully sfeept and the gu
ano thrown into a barrel kept standing
near by f«>r that purpose. As oooq as
swept the fl.uir w.is sprinkled with the
fine charcoal attained from u railroad
station or with Some Aitaer good ab.
sorbetant. Mixing the dmppiurs of
the poultry with about one*hult of for
eign matter, such as charcoal or other
good woods mould, a barrel of about
250 poiiuds weight was saved every
week ofTiis home made guano, which
was allied to our wheat crop. ^
Broad side with ibis manure was a
plat of ground manured with Peruvian
guano, plaster, and salt, at the rate of
200 pounds per adre. We never saw
any material difference in the looks or
yield * f the two patches, unless the
heu-hoose manure, during the early
spring, gaVe a deeper tint to the young
gram
We omitted to state that the hoft.^e
slops wire carefully added to the
sweeping* of the beunerry till each
Darrel! was fided und moved usids.
As a matter of farm economy, w'e
give it as oar opinion thit 100 hens
could be kept in this Way profitably for
the maBfrrii alone. We led our hens
on screenings from the fl »ur mill, which
cost us 25 cents |>er bushel ; one peck
of these screenings feeding tbe stock
fAt one day. We feuud our close-cov
ered shed a nuisance of course, as we
have always done and fear always will.
We believe a cedar or pine tree to be
tne best hen-house in tue South, but it
will not do to let the poultry scatter cv-
erywhere about the premises rf ear ob
ject is to savi* m itiCire.
We palliated the nuisance of the
mite anil house, which bred under the
close shed, by feeding su phur in dough
about three tiuifS a week, und so ur
TangU-g the shingles on the tool as to
turn i.iueb i^ihe rain inside the house.
SlichteU. —We i>?ten In-ur motiiers
say ‘our pet.’ 1* it not cruel to show
any f »Vor among your children ? W hat
if the slighted one should die an unex
pected death! m *Alas ! ttiooghtless

Hut all parents are n«»t the same$
they har*liy are aware that they s.ighi
i*ne ch id more than auolher, and when
ttiey discover their great sin, they wil
llligly mend the fault.
Un one occasion, a little child was
walking through the hall ot her parent’s
house. Her mother, who was in the
parlor, thought she heard her darling’s
little fi»otsteps, and inqyiicd,—
‘Is that you, my pet ?’
•No/ lepiied tier child, ‘it’s only me !’
From that moment the mother’s heart
invited towards her slighted child,
ahe pressed tier to her bosom, and be
came a mother to the almost Molhel-
iess **ne.
U parents \ IcVe jrour children alike.
Never oh, never silghL them in words *»r

Young reader, should your parents

to wiu Uietr love ; by tut doing you will
obtain a blessing from God.

Sir Waiter r5ci>tt said, that even in the
sUge coach, he always feuud somebody
who could lei! him something tie did
not know before. Conversation is fre
quculfy mure useful than booits for pur-
poses off knowledge. It is, theie I ore, a
mistake to be morose and silent among
persons whom we think to be ignorant;
for a little sociability oh your part will
draw them out, and they will tie able to
teach yon something, no matter how or
dinary their etiipltiyinent. indeed,
some of the most sagacious remarks arc
made by j*crs**tis of this kind, respect

Miller, the geologist, ow** not a little oi
his lainv 1 to observations made when he
was a journeyman stone mason, and
working iu a quarry, dnerates well
said tuere was but one good, which is

So in acquiring knowledge, we should
never never despise an opportunity,
however unpromising. Cf there is a
moment’s leisure, spend it over good or
instructive talking with the first you
