J ■ ■•!.*? ffl “Come, Ben, what-are your ideas of the matter?” It was Sain Grey, an old border man, who asked this question. “ Boys, I believe tbpre is truth in dreams,” he answered. Some stared at him, while others, the more skeptical, ,broke, iuto a loud laugh. When tiis outbreak was over Ben said, i a serious totve, and with a solemn look upon his faoe: l u<< “ You may laugh if you will, but you can’t change my mind. A dream I once had was tbe means of saving my life.” g All eyes, were at once turned upon -thekpeaker, with a halt-astonished, half skeptical look. “ You may think I am joking,” lie added : but u hat I have said, boys, is the Gospel truth.” “IJow was it? Tell us about if, Ben,” said all of them in chorus. was silent for a low moments, and then he began: “It was six years ago that the af fair happened that I am going to tell you about. “I was hunting upon one of the forks ai t^e.^pjv^qji^a,There was a dozen of us in the party, all jolly fellows; and as we were luuky, we had- as good a time as 'evier a party need to ask for. “It chanced, one day, when we had beeli encamped for.over a week in the same spot, that I got separated from the rest of the party. I had shot at a deer and only wounded it, and it led me a long chase before I was able to draw sight on it again and bring it down. “ Having done so at length, I set to work to strip off its bide and cut out the best pieces to carry to the capip, “My mind had been so taken up with the wounded deer that I had paid but little heed to the way I was going, and now when I was about to set out for the camp, I for the first time looked about me to lake my bearings. Tbe more 4 looked, the more confused I got. For the life of me I couldn’t toll which was the way to the camp. “ Thick clouds vailed the sky, and hid tbe face of the sun so completely that I could not even tell where it was. Neither before or since was I ever caught in such & fit. “ After standing awhile, I started off, though feeling far from sure that I was right, i believed that I was going the way I ought, still I might miss the camp, which 1 could not ex actly locate, try as I would. “ The day was nearer gone than I had thought, and almost before I knew it the shadows of night began to gather around. I was then no surer of my way to tbe camp than I was when I left the spot where I had slain the deer. “ The darkness gathered fast; and in a little lime I was completely be* wildered. For the life of me I knew not which way to turn. “ I thought the matter over calmly, and made np my mind that there was but one thing for me to do. I must camp where I was that night, and wait for sunrise before trying to go further on. “My mind made Up on this, I set to work to make myself as comfort able as possible. “I knew that it was risky building a fire, for th*e signs of redskins had been,thick that day, hut f was hun gry, and.* venison steak was a great temptation. So I made op my miud to take the chances. 0 .- , “Fuel was rather scarce where 1 was, bat I hunted around, and gath ered enough together for a small fire.

He is now about six years of age, of a pure black from the tip of bis ears to his hoofs, but without a -single hair on any part of his body. The color is not unlike that of a black horse very closely clipped, and the micro scope fails to detect a single hair from nose to tail. He is a gelding, about fifteen bauds high, well made and ’.=*,cs&H3oinpact, with fine, clean legs, powerful forearms aud thigh, and a clean, blood-like, but unusually broad head, from which sparkle a bright pair of eyes beaming with good temper and docility. ■ A singular tragedy of the late war has been brought to light by the return of Thomas Clark to his family in Jobutonville, Itenselaer county, N. Y. Clark was a doctor, and deserted his family about the opening of the rebellion. He entered the army and was reported to have been shot for desertion. His tomb, marked by a pine board, had been seen near Union Mills, Ya., by a Johnsonville man. After thirteen years absence Clark baa reappeared in his native town. He is a surgeon of a Liverpool steamer. He says that the night before the execution he obanged clothes with a .comrade, and escaped. The. comrade, less lucky, was shot in Clark’s place.

A n Fir the ltttter part of the sulnmer bt 1864} I was ordered by smy: em ployer to make a trip with a large* stock df Yankee not ions, to a entail towft shay miles diataWh /El>e wagon was a large one, and was drawn by four horses. -The morning: was fine, and it being dry weather, 4 hiade good time, and was expecting to put tip that evening at the house of & Triend, who lived about balf ’wsy, when I for the first time noticed the sky was getting cloudy and darker every momeot. 'and in a littls while the rain came down fast and steady, and this wagon being heavily loaded!, tbe horses ctiuld with difficulty get along. ' . c Presently one of the hind wheels ran.into the ditch, and the next in stant broke with a crash, throwing me off into the mud. Gathering my self up, I sot to > work to repair the damages, but found H was impossi ble, unaided, to raise the wagon to replace the wheel. So, unhitching one horse, I mounted and started for help, if such could be procured, as A was a long distance from any human habitation. / 0 After an hour's hard riding, X saw a liglit sinning from the window of a hut in the woods, and , whipping up my horse to renewed,exertion, I rode up to the door and knocked repeat edly, when, after a considerable delay, Ihetirdthe latch raised anda burly looking individual made bis appear aiiqp t and. ,W W n ® B ii|f p t;, I related to him .whpt had happened, and, begged of liim, to come with me and I would pay him handsomely for 1 his services. He said he would con sult his brother, and -I_could in the meantime come in and dry my clothes, which had got wqt through. I accepted the invitation and wont with him into the room, where I found a large fire kindled on the hearth, a powerful built man was sitting near by on a log of wood, whom my guide introduced as his brother Jim, saying his own name wall Boh. After questioning me as to what business I was on, they accompanied me to where I bad left my broken wagon, which we fixed up in the best way possible, and all three mounted and started for the hut, where we arrived about midnight. I was told I could stay there till moniing, which I concluded to do, and taking a Can dle, one of the men conducted me to a small room, and bidding me good night, left me. Being greatly fatigued, I threw myself upon a straw mattress, In a corner of the room, and soon was in a profound slumber. How long I slept I could not say, but I awoke with a start, as if I heard voices in low consultation near my room door. Immediately getting np, I listened attentively, and heard Bob, whom I recognized by his voice, say: “ Well, I guess he is asleep, now. yon stand against tbe door while Igo and dispatch him; dead men tell no tales.” Henring enongh to cause me to act ot once, if J valued my existence, I crawled to where my coat laid and took from one of the pockets my brace of revolvers. Thus prepared, I waited for events, and soon I could discern in the gloom the form of a man with a shining knife in his hand, who advanced with stealthy steps toward where I had lain a few min ntes before, and on reaching which be quickly plunged the knife to where be expected to find me. The next instant I fired my revol ver at him, and he fell with a curse and groan, = • I immediately started in pursuit of the retreating form of the other mis creant, who ran ont of the door of the hut at>d made for the woods. I fired another shot at him, and with a cry of pain he threw up his hands and fell prostrate to the ground. I did not wait to see the effect of the shots, but instantly mounted one of the hones and started for the near est town, where I related the whole circumstance to a justice, and re turned to the hut with apoeae of officers, where, we found the first man I hsd shot jast as I left him, but dead, the shot having taken effect in the longs. The other one, whom I recognized as Bob, was in a dying condition, Upon finding he had not long to Jive, he confessed to all the crimes'' be had committed hi oonjn pany with Jim, beside the attempt upon my life, which wa* their last, and wKIcE JIHJfWi tile robbers’ • ■> tf. $1 KA A VI?
