HJtettUaneott*. A. Tlirlllinjr Adventure. It was the year 1805 that I settled in Virginia near the falls ot the Kanawah. The country at that time was an ur bro ken wilderness. But few settlements had been made by the whites, and they were so far apart as to render vain all hopes of assistance in case of attack from hostile Indians, numbers of whom still infested the neighborhood. I lived there with my wife alone for several months unmolested, and by dint of per severance, when young and hearty, had succeeded in making quite a clearing in the forest, which I planted with corn, and which promised an abundant yield. One morning after we had dispatched our humble meal, and I had prepared to venture forth on my accustomed routine of labor, my attention was ar rested by the tinkling of a cow bell in the corn field. ‘There,’ said my wife, ‘the cow is in 1 18 c rn field"’ But the ear of the backwoodsman be comes very acute, especially from the fact, that his safety often depends upon a nice cultivation of that sense. I was not so easily deceived. The sound Wes repeated. ‘That,’ said I, in reply to my wife’s remark, ‘was not the tinkle of a b II upon a cow, but a decoy from some Indian who wishes to draw me into an ambush.’ Believing this, I took down my old musket, and seeing her properly loaded, I stole cautiously around the field to ward the spot Iroin which the sound proceeded. As I suspected, there in a clump of bushes, an Indian sat awaiting for me to make my appearance in answer to his decoy bell that he might send a bullet to my heart. 1 approached without dis covering myself to him until within shooting distance, then raised my piece and fired. The bullet sped true to its mark, and the Indian fell dead. Not knowing but that he was accom panied by others, I returned at full speed to the cabin, and having barrica ded the door firmly, I watched all day for tile companions of the Indian I ha f killed. To add to the danger and seem ing hopelessness of my situation, 1 tlis coved that I had but one shot left, and if attacked by numbers I should be en tirely in their power. Determined to do the best I could with the powder, I put it into the musket and waited for the approach of uight, feeling sure of an attack. Night came at last. A beautiful moonlight night it was, too, which fa vored me greatly as I would thereby be able to observe the movements of the enemy as they approached the cabin. It was some two hours after night fall and yet I had neither heard or seen a sign of the Indians, when suddenly I wus startled by the baying of my dog at the stable. The stable stood a little west of the cabin, and between the two was a patch of clear ground on which the light of the moon fell unobstructed. Judging by the noise from the stable that they would advance from that di rection, I posted myself at the port-hole on that side of the cabin. I had previously placed my wife on the cross pole in the chimney, so that, iu case our enemies effected an entrace, she might climb out through the chim ney and make her escape. For myself I entertained no hope, but determined to sell my life dearly. With breathless anxiety 1 waited at the port-lmle. At length I saw them emerge from the shadow ot the stable and advance across'the clear ground to wards my cabin. One —two--thrce— great heavens ! six stalwart Indians, armed to the teeth, and urged on by the hope of revenge —and l alone to oppose them with one charge of powder. My case was desperate, indeed. With rap id and stealthy steps, in close single file they approached, and wore already within a few yards of the house, when a slight change in the movement of the forward Indian changed the position of the six, so that a portion of the side of each was uncovered. They were in range, and one aim would cover all. Quick as thought'l aimed and fired. As the smo4a cleared away I could hardly credit what my senses showed me as the result of my shot. The fifteen slugs with which I had loaded the gun had done their office well. Five of the six Indians lay dead upon the ground, and the sixth had disappeared. Although no enemies were now in sight, l did not venture forth until morning. There lay the bodies of five Indians undisturb ed, together with* the rifle of the other. Securing the arms and ammunition of the fallen Indians, I followed up the missing one until I reached the river, beyoud which point I could discover no trace whatever. From she amount of blood on his trail, together with certain evidence that he had chosen his way with diffi.ulty, 1 was led to believe that he was mortally wounded, and in order to prevent his body falling into the hands of the foe, he had groped his ■way to the river and thrown himself in the current which had borne it away. The corn crop iu Houston county is not very promising. HuluttuioiiM. In the East, the people are pastoral, un war-like, fond of quiet, and are also encircled by religious iJols. We see this in the simple meeting of two per sons on the street. They convey—in the form of prayer—an earnest wish that the other may enjoy peace. — Throughout the bible this blessing forms the staple of salutation. Salem or Sha lum means peace, and is doubtless the meaning of the word Jerusalem. The Bedouins of our time have the same idea embodied in the salutation. The Arab meets his friend with this: May God grant you a happy morning ; may God grant you his favors. If God wills you are well. The difference here is very considerable according to the rank of the person saluted. The most common mode is merely laying the right hand on the bosom, and a little inclining their bodies, but when to a person of great rank, they bow almost to the ground, and kiss the hem ot his gar ment. Inferiors, out of deference and respect, kiss the feet, the knees or the garments of th ir superiors. The dominant trait in the character of the Ottoman is known to be great pride, much gravity and apparently a considerable distaste to the use of his tongue in speech. It will he noticed in many of liis sayings that those three are unfolded. May your shadow never glow less, shows how much they value flesh. In Egypt the climate is so very warm arid perspiration is so very necessary to health, that an Egyptian says, how do you perspire? According to Ilerod itus, the Egyptians saluted by letting the hand fall to the knee, unlike any other nation. The Laplander applies the nose strongly against the person they sa'ute. Dam pi re says that at New Guinea they are satisfied to put on their heads the leaves of trees, which have ever passed for friendship and peace. The Spaniard wishes you, good morn ing, God be with you, Senior. The Neapolitan devoutly says, grow in sanctity. The Piedmontese says, 1 am your servant. The Genoese of modern times says, health and wealth. The Romans, who are robust, had energetic salutations, expressing force. Salve, be strong, be healthy. Quid /’"is, what do you do ? or, what make you ? The Chinaman, with earnest solici tude, asks, is your stomach in good or der—have you eaten ? The German says, wie %eht.il how gops it ? To hid adieu, he says, leben sic wold, live quiet and be happy. The Islanders, (near the Phillippines) take the hand or foot of him they salute, and with it they gently rub the face. The Pole embraces the knee, kisses the shoulder, and in departure says, be ever well. In Hungary they say at departure, may you remain well ; God keep you well. In Servia they say, how are acorns ? Arencorns plenty? they being a pasto ral people. In Turkey great attention is paid to salutations, the arms are laid over each other, each on his own breast, and bending the head. The Hindoos bend the head to the earth. In Sweeden, besides the universal gud day, which needs no translation, they ask. hum mar Ni ? literally, how can you ? meaning, are you strong and vigorous? Also, Cod sc i tarn! God be praised. Their parting is, far ra ! The Moores ol Moroceo. ride at full speed towards a stranger, ns if to run him down, and as soon as they ap proach near, stop suddenly, and lire a pistol over his head. The manner of saluting the Great Mogul is to touch with the hand, first the earth then the breast, and then lift it above, which is repeated three times as you approach him. A crusty old bachelor, not liking the way his landlady's daughter had of ap propriating his hair oil, filled his bottle with liquid glue the day before a ball to which the girl was invited. She stay ed at home in consequence. Thompson is not going to deal any thing more in conundrums. He re cently asked his wife the difference be tween his bead and a hogshead, and she said there was none. He said that was not the right answer. The luckiest man in America is said to be the Baltimorean who, in less than three months, has inherited a for tune, drew a big lottery prize, found s7,ooo'buried in his cellar, and lost his mother-in-law. An Indiana girl, who had been jilted, bit off the thumb of her faith less lover. She evidently wished to se cure as much of his hand as possible. A Vermont man sat down on a keg of powder to take a ‘noon smoke.’— His friends found one button. -— Two Indianians fired a salute from an old iron tube about twelve hours before 1 their funeral.
