From a thick clump of bushes, not more that twenty yards from where thev sat a large an- mal issued, and came rapidly towards them with crouching, shambling ' mo tions, and giving vent meantime to fearfnl growls. Reginald Mortimer saw at once that the approaching animal wasweith- ther a grizzly or the ghost of one. As ho did not believe in ghosU, he con cluded that it was a bona fide grizzly; and when Ruth threw her arms around his neck and exdaimend, in nuiver- ing accents, ‘Save me, Reginald! save meH he evinced a much stronger incli nation to save himself. Hastily unwinding her arms he de parted from the scene of danger at a rate of speed that would have tasked the capabilities.of a race-horse to^ur-« pass, pausing not to look behind until lie found himself unharmed in his own room at the hotel, from which I may as well meuliou here, he look his final departure the next morning in the lour o'clock stage. Almost dead with terror, Ruth saw herself thus deserted and knew that the horrible inouster was approachiug- r.earer an 1 nearer. Wildly, thrilling- ly, her shrieks ruu out upon the still night air. Suddenly a manly form came dash ing up to the rescue, brandishing an axe, aud yelling in a way which might easily have frightened a score or more of grizzlies into eouvul- There can be no doubt but that the grizzily w as dismayed by the appear ance oi this reinforcement, for the ef fect produced upon him was suddenand markable in the extreme. He seemed at once to fall into several pieces. The frame of a youth arose from the ground, aud the fact was revealed that all the commotion had been caused by Ike Foster, Ruth's fourteeu year old brother, who had possessed him self of an old bear skin, belonging ta' his father; with the bcuevolcnt design, a*he afterwards expressed it, -of having a little, square fun.’ Ruth, however, did not become aware ot this circumstance until some time afterward, on the arrival of the person with the axe, she exclaimed; ’Saved! Oh, Bob!’ aud fell tainting in his arms. I suppose that many of my readers have no doubt been anticipating some such catastro^p as this, and have waited patiently for a moment when, Ruth and Bob should fall into anoth er’s arms, become reconciled, the one to the fact that her hero squiuled. the other to the circumstance that he had been completely ’run out’ by the dash ing Reginald Mqftimer. and in a word to forget, forgive, get married, and be happy. It any such supposition has been formed it is certainly incorrect This is not a romance, but a simple recital of the whole truth, aud nothing but the truth, aud therefore, however strongly I might feel disposed lo end it in a different manner, I must adhere strictly to the facts.

When Ruth recovered, she embra ced him fervently, and called him ‘dear Bob.' and v. aided a good deal of ten- deroos on him before she discovered her mistake; hut no affair of the heart ever grew out of it; there was no wed- ling- aud Ruth still exists in a state of single blessedness.

(FhMB tbs Danbury News. Patting np a stove is not so difficult in itself. It is the pipe that raises four-fifth of the mischief and all the dust You rosy take down a stove with all the care iu the world and you have your wife put away the pipe in a secure place, aud yet that pipe won't come together as it was betorc. You find this out wheu you are standing on a chair with your arms full of pipe and your mouth full of soot. Your wiie is standing on the floor iu a po sition that euables her to see you, the pipe, and the chair; and here she gives utterance lo those remarks that are calculated to hasten a man into the extremes of insanity. Her dress is pined over her waist, ar.d her hands rest on her hips. She has got one of your hats on her head, aud your linen coat on her back, and a pair of lub bers ou her feet. There is about five cents worth ol pot black ou her uose, aud a lot ot fiour ou her chin, and al together she was a spectacle that would inspire a dead uiuu with dis trust.—Aud while you are up Hying to circumvent the aiviul contrariness af the pipe, and telling that you know some fool has been mixing it, she stands safely on the floor bombards you with such domestic mottoes as:— “What’s the use of swearing so?’’ You know no one has touched the pipe.'' “You ain’t got auy more patience than a child.” “Do be careful of that chair.” And theu she goes off, aud reappears with an armful more of stove pipe. And before you are aware of it she has got that pipe so horribly mixfcd up that it does seem no two pieces are alike. Yau join the ends, and work them to aud fro. and talre them apart again and look at them. Then you spread one out and jam the other two together, aud mount them once more. But it is no go. You begin to think the pieces are inspired with life, and ache and k*ck them through site window. But she doesn't lose her patience. She goes around with that awfully exasperating figging on, with a length of pipe un der each- arm, and a long liaudled broom in her hand, and says she don’t see how some people never have any trouble in putting up a stove. Then you miss the lmiumer. You don’t see It anywhere. You stare into the pipe and along the mautlc, and down on the stove, and off on the floor. Yoifr wife watches you iutentiy, aud finally is thoughtful enough to inquire what you are looking after, aud on learning, she pulls the article from her pocket. Then you feel us if you could go out aud swear a hole twelve feet square through a block of brick buildiugs, but she merely observes, “Why on earth don’t you speak when you want any thing, and not stare round like a dum my.” Wheu that part of the pipe goes through the wall is up, she keeps it up with her broom while you are making the connection, and stares at it with an intensity that is entirely un called for. All the while your position is becoming more a«ul interesting.— The pipe don’t go together, of course. The soot shakes down into your eyes and mouth, the sweat rolls down your face and tickles your chin as it drops off, and it seems as if your arms are slowly bu» shortly drawing out of their sockets. Ilete your wife coiues to the rescue by inquiring if you are going to be all day doing nothing, and if you think her arms sire made of cast iron; and then the broom slips oil' the pipe, and in her endeavor to re cover her hold she jobs you under the ehiu with the handle, and the pipe come down ou her head with its-io.it* of fried soot, and then the chair tilt Jeff Davis? Alleged Disguise. 2b the Editors of tke Chicago Tribune; Sib.—In a Chicago paper of June 6 there appeared an article headed “Ten Thousand a Year Adversity,” which was false in every statement it made. It is high time the people should know the truth in regard to the capture of Jeff. Davis. I have ob tained the following truthful relation ol the capture from one of the partici pants in it, and submit it to the ac ceptance of the Tribune’s niauy read ers, believing that it is, right to be .hist though the heaveus fall. X. {From the Portland (Me) Argo*. I am no admirer of Jeff. Davis. I am a Yankee, born between Sacca- rnppa and Gorham Corner, am full of Yankee prejudices; but 1 thiuk it wicked to lie even about him, or, for the matter about the devil. T was with the party that captured Jell*. Davis; saw the whole transaction from its beginning. 1 now say aud— hope you will publUh it—that Jeff. Davis did uot have on, at the time he was taken, any garment such as is worn by women. He did have over his shoulders a water proof article ot clothing—something like a “Have lock.” It was not in the least con cealed. ne wore a hat, and did uot carry a pail of water ou his head, uor carry pail, bucket, or kettle in any way. To the best of my ncgllection he carried nothing whatever in his hands. His wife did uot tell any person that her husband might hurt somebody if he got exasperated. She behaved like a lady, and he as a gentleman, though manifestly he was chagrined at being taken into custody. Our soldiers be haved like gentlemen, as they were, and our officers like honor ihtc, brave men; and the foolish stories that went the newspaper rounds of the day, tell ing how woftishly he deported himself, were all false. I know what I am writiug about. I saw Jefferson Davis several times while he was staying in Portland tnauy years ago; and I think I was the first one who recognized him at the time of his arrest. When it was known that he was certaiuly taken, some newspaner cor respondent—I knew his name at the time—fabricated the story about the disguise in a woman’s dress. I heard the whole matter talked over as a good joke; and the officers, who knew better, never took the trouble to deny it Perhaps they thought tho Con federate Prcsulcut deserved all the contempt they could put upon him. I think so loo, ouly I would never per petrate a falsehood that by any menus would become history. Aud, further I would never slander a woman who has shown so much devotion as Mrs. Davis has to her husbaud, no matter how wicked he is or may have been. I defy any person to" find a siugle officer or soldier who was present ut the capture of Jeff. Davis, who will say, upon honor, that he was disguis ed in woman's clothes, or that his wife acted in any way unlady like or un dignified on that occasion. I go for trying him lor his crimes, and if found guilty, puuishing hiiu. But 1 would not lie about bun when the truth will certainly make it had enough. Elburnville. James 11. Parker.

It is pure and noble.honorable in the highest de gree to both, l do not mean a mere du tiful affection. I mean a love which makes a boy gallant aud courteous to his mother, saying to even body plain ly that he is fairly in love'with her — Nexlto love of her husband, nothing so crowns a woman’s lilc with honor as this second love, this devotion of a son lo her. -1 nd I never know a boy •turn out had who begau by falling in love with his mother.’ Auy man may fall iu love with a fresh faced girl, aud the man who is gallant with the girl may cruelly neglect tho worn and weary wife.

Oh, ye editor grabbed his big quill pen, and It sputted your ink so Iroe, that his manuscript like a war man— when “Take this, to the devil spake he. lie scribbled and scratched through the live long nor rest or refresh ment had he; tor the devil kept con siantly coming that way and hollow ing for more “cop-ee.” Day after day he scissored and wrote, a saying the whole countree; while ye devil kept piping a single note, “a little more outside cop—ce.” And when ye boys in ye news-room hear the sound of unequal fray, the voice of a Mow and bla«p)icmus words, “he is raisin’ the devil,” say they.

A Fateful Year. Barelj - a third of the year has pas sed, and the death-roll of 1873 already glitters with brilliant names enough io make any whole year conspicuous in history. Since January last some of the greatest men iu statesmanship, literature and science of the past half century have passed away. A mere revival of their names will con vince the reader that the world’s loss in this brief time is no trivial one. Foremost among public historic char acters who have died iu 1*73 is Napo leon I1L Ilis minister Peraigny, lias also gone with him, a follower in death as well as in life; among scientists, Baron Liebig and Commodore Maury; among jurists, Chief Justice Chase; amoug actors. Macready; among wri ters, Lord Lytton and" the Countess Guiccioli; among soldiers, Gen. Paez. The Amencaa list has been unusually full. The most notable of our coun trymen who have died, besides those mentioned are James L. Oh, Minister to Russia; William H. Seward, ex- Governor John W. Geary, John Romyn Brodhcad, the historian; Bish op Mcllvauc’ of the Episcopal Church, Vicar General Starrs of tne Catholic Church, and Mrs. Harrison Gray Oti*.
