A long, creeping, creak ing line of white ox wagons,stretch ing away to the west ucross ti e vasi and boundless brow phuDs. Not a house for thousands o! Luiks, not a tree, not a shrub, not a sing/e thing in sigh l , except now and then; dotied here and there,n few great black spots m the bound less sea of Lu o .«u. This is ihe way it was when my parents too me, then only a lad across the plums, more time tliir ij years ago. How different now. with the engius tearing, smoak ing, screeching and screaming Across at tn« rate of 500 miles oi more a day. There are many houses on the plains now. The pioneers have planted great forests or trees, and then are also vast corn-fields, aud the song of happy h irvesters is heard there. litii '.he great black spo s that dotted the bonndles sea of brown are gone forever. Those dark spots were herds o countless bison, or buffalo —as ility were more generally called. One snl; ry morning in Ju'y *s tuc sun rose up and blazz*d wit! uncommon ardor, a her 1 of buff a was ;em grazing quietly close to our train, and some of the younger boys who had guns an pisto s, iid were “dying to kill > buffalo,” begged their parents to tel them ride eut and /axe a shot. As it was only a natural desire, ii„d seemed a simple thing to do a email parly of boys was soon ready. The men were obliged t. siav with the train and drive ‘be ox n, for the tents had already been s'.ruM, and tue long whin line had begun to creep si wh way over the level brown sea to ward Hie next water, u littlebliLii stream that stole through the wil lows fifteen nrles away to tin west. There were in our train two sons of a rich and rattier itnpor taut min. And they were nor first in the saddle and ready L take the lead. But as they were vain mid telfishand had alwas hat u big opinion of themselves ibeii father knew they had not learuei much about anything else. Then was also in the train a sad faced silent boy, bare footed and all in rags, for bis parents bad died with Lawrence?ille Georgia, Tuesday November 11 j. 884, the cholera tlm day after w.i crons e l the Missouri river tu dhe was est hopeless and alone He hard ly snokn io anyone. And as fi r 'he till. i,. n’s boys, they wool l sooner have Hi iugin oT spea king to their negi , ook than to speak to i ini. As the boys sat ou tneir horses ready to go, and the train of wag ons rolled awn;, the rich n.an came up to the barefooted boy and said; “See here “Tatters.’ go along wi hmy boys aud bring back the gains. “But 1 Lave no horse, ’ lep’ied Ybe sad faced boy. “A\eil take mint,” said the anx ious father, “I viil g„t in the wag on and ride there till you get hack.” “But I have no gun no pistols rir knife,” ad-led the -oy. “Here!” cried the rich man. “Jump on my horse ‘Ginger ’ and I’ll tit yo-i up.” AY hen ihe barefoottd boy had mounted the horse, the man buck icd his own belt aronnd ihe lad, and swung his rifle over the sad. die bow. flow the boy’s face lit ud! His young heartwss beating like a drum with delight as the party bounded away after the buffalo. 71ie wagons creaked and crawl ed away to the West of ihograbsy plaiug; the herd of buffalo snifftd the y >uug hunters and lifting their shaggy heads, si.oik /hem angriiy, and then turned away like a dark rstrating tide of the sea, with /he boys bounding affer them in hot pureui'. It was a long and exciting chase, “Ta/tors” soon pa ssed /he other boys, and pressing hard on the herd, after nearly an hour ot wild aud splendid riding, thow iiimseb from the saddle and. taking aim fired. The brothers came up soon, and dismounting as fast as dieir iess practiced limbs would let them al so tired at the retrea ing her!. When the dust ai d 6iuoke clear ed away, a finj fa/ buffalo lay ro ing in the grass bifore them Following the example of “Tat ters,” 'hey loaded their guns where they stood as all cautions hunters do, and then went up to the game. The barefooted hoy at once laid his finger on a bullet hole near the region of the heart aud looked up at the o/her. “I aimed about there!” shout d one. “And sc did 1!” cried We other eagerly. Without saying a word, hut with a very significant look the barefooted boy took oat his kti t’ e and unobserv( d pricked two holes with the point of it c ose by ti c bullet hole. Then he put his iii - gir here and again looked up at the boys. They came down on /heir kueis, wild with] delight in an iust m'. 'The y had reuliy helped Kill a buffalo ! In fact, they bad ki!ie_ itl ‘For are not two bullets bet. 1 ter tlimi one!” they cried. “Tat 1 eis,’cut me off the tail,” said one. •‘And cut me off the mane; I want it to make a coat co lar for my father,” shouted the other. Without a word, the hoy did as he was bid, aod*theu securley fas teped the trophies on behind tlnir saddles. “Now lei’s overtake the train, ai.d tell father ali üb-jiv killing our first buffo o,” cried the elder of the two bio hers. “And won tne be deligttte.il’ said the other as he clt men dup to the saddle and tumid his face in eveiy direction, looking for die wagons. “But where tue they?” he cri ed At lirstthe brothers laughed a little, then they grew very so ber. “That is the way they went,” said one, pointing off. “Ye-ye yes I think t uls the way they went tiui I wonder why we can't seethe wagons. “We have galloped along way and then they have been going iu the other direction. If you go that way you will be los l . When we started, I noticed that the DEVOTED TO NEWS, EITEII ATUH F.

We must go in this d lection, or we shall be ] s',’ - mild ly and firmly said die birefooted boy, ns he d*ew Lis belt t gbter and prepare, for work. The other boys only looked dis dainfully at the speaker as he sat on his horse and shading his ey*-s with his hand looked .. vay in In direction ue wished to gc. Then 'hey talked a moment between tbems-rlvvN. and taking out their pocket coinpuesi s. and pretended to look a them very knowingly. Now many people flunk a com pass will lead, them a'inost any p’ace where tl ev are lost. This is a mistake. A compass is only of use when you cunning set the sun. And evenjtbvn you must have coolness anil patience and go id sense to get <nit at nil. Ii cuu ut host only guide you from one object, so auo'her, and thus keep you in a straight line, and so prevent you from going around and around and around. But wl.t-n the plaiD is ime vas I level iea wid o it, withou' an ob ject rising up out of ii, us a guide what is a boy to do ? It takes a cool head boy’s or man’s, to use a compass on the plains. “Come on ! tin t’s ligli ,” cried the elder cf the wo hunters, and they darted away with “Tatters," far in the riar. They rode hard and hot for a full horr getting more frighten*-L und . i/ng faster ai every jump. The sun was high in the heavens their hoi'ces were all covered in a foam. “I see f ome'hing at last short ed the e'der as he stood up in his rtirrnps, and settling hack in his seat belaid cn whip and spur, and rode fast and furi ous straight for a dark oojc t that lay there in the long brown, grasses i f the broad unbroken plains. Soon they camt up ;o if. It was the dead buffalo ! They kuew now that they ware lost on the plains. Th y hid been rid - ing in the fatal circle that menu® death if you do not break ii and escape. Very meek and very penitent felt the two boys as “Tattlers.' came riding up after them. They were tired and thirsty. Tnev seem ed to themstlves to have shrunk en to abont bal.' their usual size. Meekly they lifted their eyi s to the despise 1 oov, and pleaded silently for help Their chins and lips quivered hut they could n< t say one word. “We must ride wi/h the sun on the left shoulder, as I said, and with our faces all the lime to the west. If we do not do that wo shall die. -‘Now come with me,” and ‘Tad-era" firmly, as he /tim ed his horse and took /he lei d Ard now meekly and patiently the oilier* followed But the horses were broken in 'trenglh and spirit. The son in midheaven poured its full force of heat upon the heads of the thirs tv hunter, and thjy cc.nld 1 arcbv keep their seats in the hot saddlts The horse< began to stumble ns they walked. And yet there was no sight or sound of anything at al'. befor > behind, or left or right. Nothing but weary, dreary, eternal and un broken sea rs brown. Away to the west, the bright blue sky shut, down sharp end tight upon 'he brown and blazing plnin. The ftps cf the long ttn troden grass gleamed and shim mered with the heat. Yet not a sign ofwa'er cTuidany where 1 edis cerued Silence, vasttiea , voice less as when the world came new ly fit m the hand of God. No one ipoke. Steadily and quietly the young leader of tlio party led on. Now and then he would lift t.is eyes under his hat to the blaz'cg sun over his left shoulder, that was all. There comes a time to us ail ah I believe sooner or later on the plains, in the valley, or the moun tain in the palace or eottvge, when we too can only lif'our eyes silent, helpless, to something shining in heaven. At last the siloit party heard a faint s utid bey on I ihi m, a feeble sermching cry that seemed to come out from the blown grass bin* a h them as thuy struggled on. Die lost hunters had found a d >g town, the li st hey had ever seen. Borne owls fi>w lazily over the strange little city, closw to lie grouud ; mid as they code* f uroUgb the town, u rattlesnake glided in to the hole on the top of one of the ten thousand. The prurir e dogs, also, as tlm boys rude close upon ihem, would twinkle iheir heels in the air and disappear, bead first, only io jump up, like a Jack-fn-a-box, iu ano her in another fort almost instantly.. the party rode through the town and looked beyond. Nothing ! Behind f Nothing ! To the right ? Nothing ; nothii g but the great b] ue tky shut tight down aga inst the boundless level sea of brown ! “Water,” gasped one of the boys ;“I am flying for water.” “Tatters,” looked him in the face and saw that what be “aid was true. K>-: ■ li.. lad a moment and then suj .• Wait here for me.’’ Trier. V :ng ti e others he rode slot .. quittly around praririe-dog cits with lis eyes closely scan i . 1.- groui-d. As ne rgiin neared the two boys wait ing patiently for h ini, be uttered a cry of delight, and beckoned them to come. “L ink there !do you see tlnii little r< ad there winding along /hrough the thick grass ? It’s a dim und sma 11 tend, not wider than your hand, l at it means ev ery thing '.o us.” “Oh, lam dying with tbirrt!*■ exclaimed oe cf he broiling. .‘What dcis it meant” “'t means water. Do you think a great city like this can get on without water 1 This is the in ad to water, Come!

AndtLenH was mfe t say that they, 'oo. sj.v utid under stood the meaning of the dim and dusty liitie road that wound along under their feet. “Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah !’’ (iulhtni. “l'atters, ” turned in saddle and shook his c<p to cb< i the poor boys behind, as he sit a long tine of groin fresh willow 8 star tiny up on/ of the brown grass and moving m the wind be fert ban.

It had not been ten minutes in the water.” As “Tatters” said this tin- boys exchanged glances They wore glad, so gland, to be nearing tl eir father once more. Mill it somehow begun to dawn upon them very clearly tha' they di'l not know quite evorydiing. even if tlieir father was ncl). Soon uns were heard firing b-i ihe lo r party- \n I turning a corner in the willowy little river, they saw the tents pitched the wagons iu coral, and the- oxen lei il ing peacefully beyond. 4 (HUZY DEMON MVRDERI Ills WIFE AND lIKK PISTI-R Jus' one week ngo E.
