VOL 4 THE DEAD SHOT BY MOONLIGHT. BY AN OLD BLADE. / Not far from a village, where the foot of a niountain-spur is washed by the wa ters of the Delaware, in a broad notch walled in on cither hand by high precipi tous masses of rock, surrouuded by a tall hemlock ‘ and pines—there was I born, and there my early years were passed, and sometimes I think I could slc-p must calm ly and sweetly there at the close of life’s ‘ary day. About a mile tistant from our house, and on the top of the mountain, lived Uncle Joe Wall, a sort of liybird— half liuutor, half farmer, and a most singular genius withal. He was tall, gaunt, round shouldered, with a heavy stoop, and a face about the ugliest I ever looked.upon.— He had, however, a pair of tiie keenest nnd yet the “ildest blue eyes that human soul ever looked opt of. Buckskin breech es, a course linen hunting shirt, martin skin cap, and moccasins constituted his usual attire. Ho was skilled iu every species of woodcraft, and seemed born to walk the paths of the forest. Quick of car and eye, a tread as sileut at:d us steal thy as that of a cat, steady ot nerve, seif possessed beyond thepowerof disturbance and with a command of the rifle such as few have ever attained, he was clearly a born hunter, and a most formidable ad versary against which to contend. And yet he wu° a most kind and gentle-heart ed mau, full of quaint and quiet humor, simple as a child, and yet abounding iu all uiauly gifts. Everybody respected and loved Ltiele Joe, and at every cabin tire side was be a most welcome guest, llis stories of border life, of adventures iu the wilderness, of encounters with wolves aud ferocious eoug.ir, were full of thrilling in terest. Aud he told these stories its no other man could toll them—in a few sim ple words, without embellishment and yet so told that you were thrilled and fascin ated, and listened with almost breathless attention. On a clear, sunny afternoon in October, 18—,.Uncle Joe and I left my father’s house for the purpose of attending a “ log ging bee,” to w..ich we had been invited by a neighbor, tivo or six miles away he on foot, aud lon horseback. Our way lay arouud the base of the “spur” to which I have mentioned, where a road had been excavated, and thence buck from the river, and along the eastern side of this “ spur ’’ to the place of destination. Not a clearing or solitary cabin interven ed. The grand old woods, cleft here and there at. considerable intervals by some pioneer settlement, or the “ chopping” ot an adventurous emigrant, stretched with its deep .-• itudes aud dark shadows for a hull area miles’ on every side! Here roamed the wi.d deer, the wolf, the bear, and the eaturnoutt, as yet scarcely disturb and by tiie sounds of advancing civilization. How often have I lain by the hunter's tire among the mountains, and during the long watches of the winter’s night, listened to the howl of the wolf, the crushing tread of the black bear, and the scream of die panther. Hut this is not my story. The “logging bee” over, a pi tin bid substantial supper was served, of which venison and rye buscuits formed the sta ple, and which in the eating detained the company until after dark. Then followed the “ parting drink,” the “ good-night,” and a homeward journey through tiie Wood Uncle Joe and I were the his! to leaie. for lie never was in a hurry when gum: cheer was to be had, and it was qufte nine o’clock before we set out for home.’ And when we did finally start, ( iiele Joe, aft tor a rod or two of earnest endeavor, found himself so weak In his walking sticks, that lie whs obliged to uimint behind me; and thus currying “ double,” our good horse was left to bis own guidiuoo through the dark path ot the forest. The q)d liunte. grew more nr.d more top-heavy as we pro ceeded at a slow pace over the tortuous and uneven road, and but for incessant efforts on my part, aided by his long legs, we would have been unhorsed at altuo.il every step. Wc had accomplished about half our journey, and were riding in silence un broken save by the tread of the animal which we bestrode, when the cry of a pan ther came sounding down to us on the night breeze from far up the side of the mountain. This was so commou that it scarcely aroused my companion, and the distance at which it was uttered prevent ed apprehension on my part. Not more than a minute elapsed before that shrill, mournful wail again broke upon tbe ear, and from a point that iudi'-ated with an appalling certainty that the animal was descending upon our path. ‘•A panther,” said Uncle Joe, between a grunt and a drawl; “and the critter seems to be coming this way.” “ sfes,” I replied, “ and I should judge from his cry that hunger was driving him to seek a supper.” Scarcely had he uttered these words, aud gather-d up the reins for the control of my now thoroughly frightened horse, when that terrible cry was repeated in clo ser proximity, and the panther was heard approaching us in long and crashing leaps down the mountain side. Uncle Joe by this time was completely aroused from bis stupor — lie sat more erect and firmly, and ttie ritie was brought dotvu from bis shoulder .ud grasped tight ly in his right band. “ Wc are in for it, my boy,” said he, in a low, hushed toue: “ it's rim or light, and fight I guess; auy way, we’ll try the first, aud if so be that we can keep out of the claws of the critter till the moon gits up over the tops of the trees, perhaps we shall be all safe if we come to the last.” Ruu it was, fjr the next fifteen minutes, with such speed as woe aid com-1 maud over a rough road, a hen, with a seream and a bound the blood-thirsty pur- | suer sprang from a ledge of rocks iuto the clear path, a short distance in our rear. “Hold up,” said Uncle Joe; “ we’ve j done up our ruuuiug, aud now the matter must he settled after auotber fashion There, I’ll get off’ and try titles with the critter, and see whether he shall have nty carcass or I his’n.” At this time a flood of soft, silvery mo m ight poured through the cleft iu the for ®!e Ctttlibci’t SlcpriPt. est upon our road, when, looking back from the place of our halt, the panther, au enor mous animal, with blazing eyeballs, was 1 dimly revealed in a half crouching posi i tion, not more than ten or fifteeu psees 1 away. “My legs are a little unsteady,” said | Uncle Joe, “and my arms are shaky .like, so I'll just lie down here iu the road, and try a puli at the bloody varu.iut. When the rifle crack a do you mu your horse! down to the big pine by the spriug, and ■ ; tiiere hold up and listen. It you don’t hear my call when you get there, then j ride home as fast as you can, for Uncle j Joe will be iu kingdom come.” i This was said deliberately, and without | ! the slightest tremor of voice 1 cannot I ! say that i was as self-pip:sessed, bred though 1 Was aiuidst tlic dangers of the j wildenieis. The brave old man turned and took a 1 few steps towards his enemy, which seemed to fie feeling sure of a supper, then stretch - i ed himself out at the bottom Os a slight knoll, across which he poised his rifle. I turned my face now in the direction in which 1 was to ride—a moment ot terri ; ble and agonizing suspense ensued, u mo ment only, for l had no more than settled myself on my beast than the signal came, and 1 obeyed instructions. The goal was j reached at a raciug gallop, and there I drew up my panting steed, and turned to ! listen. Even then the halloo of Uncle j Joe eame nuging chotrily through the ! arches of the forest to my ear. 1 turned and rode back with a bounding heart and there was the old limiter leaning on Ins rifle, by the side of the dead panther. I held out my hand, which he grasped, and with choking utterance made out to say, “ Uncle Jue!” “All my dear boy,” said j lie, “ that was a shot worth telling on— look there !” and lie lifted up the head of the ‘<iiiin.il and pointed to a bullet Hole immediately between the eyes. We loaded the panther on the back of I our horse, and walking on either side, j vouched heme about the midnight hour.— The family had not yet retired, and were | iu high state of excitement aud alarm re isp cling us. By the hiazmg hearth, while 1 jlleeks blanched, and eyes tilled witti tears ! we told the story of our peril, aud ot the i Dead Shot by Moonlight. There is a charming tradition connected with the site on wlnch the Temple of Solo inoii was erected. It is said to nave been occupied iu common by two Brothers, one of whom had a family ; t.lic other had none. ‘H i tliits spot, wus sown a field of wheat.— On tiie evening succeeding the harvest, j the wheat having been gathered iu sepa rate shocks the elder brother said unto | his wife, “ My younger brother is unable | to bear the burden and heat of the day ; . 1 uill at'L;V . take ul my.shocks and place I With hi* without Ins knowledge.” The j younger brother, being ifctu.ited by the | same benevolent motives, said within liim | self, “ My elder brother uas a family, and I have none: I will contribute to their ’ ; .support ; I will arise, take of my shocks aud place with his, without his knowledge.” I Judge of their mutual astonishment, when, | on the following morning, they found their ! respective shocks uudlininished. Tins course of events transpired for several nights, when each resolved in his own mind to stand on guard and solve the mystery. ! I'lieydidso; when, on tiie following night, ! ihey met each other halt way between their respective shocks, with their arms full. I pou ground hallowed witli sueli .ssoeiatlons as tiiis, was the leinple oi .Solomon creeled—so spacious, ami in ig Dili edit, the wonder and ad. u. ration m the world. A Long Nosh. — There is a rich st -ry 1 told of a good minister at Montagu.-, It. \ ! Mr. Moody, who has been most liberally | furnished by nature with that very neces sary appendage to a man’s face— bis nose. It is said that while at a public dinner on a certain time, a gentleman who sat oppo site to Mr. M., thinking to get off a good joke at his expense, remarked iu a loud tone : “ Mr. Moody there is a fly on the end of your nose.” This threw the company into a roar, [ for ti.e tone of the voice conveyed the im pression that the end ot the nose was so far from Mr. Moody that he would not I know a fly was on it unless soiuu kind triei.O | told him. Hut Mr. Moody e.oiijhete.y i turned the tables, by remarking in bis | cool, dry way : j “ Well, Mr. , you are nearer the Hi/ \ than lam ; won’t you pi a*e brush it off. ’ The laugh that went round the table at j this sally of wit was perfectly uproarious. A Fact —Some editor, in speaking of I the bad .literature of the present day,! ] says : You may read many of tne east- | ! efu weeklies and scarcely nud a fact which ! will make 3*ou wiser or better —all fiction romance, lies, ve vet and leathers, little] fiends equipped in smiles and crinoline, big scoundrels >u epauletts and with a j ’ love of a moustache, turning ttie hearts of! ;si ipering tu lidens, from the every day i history of life ingeniously belled and gen , t,ely outraged—and yet it always ends i most beautifully. Hundreds of persons who think they! [ can’t afford a home paper, iu the course of a year spend tb-c-e or four times the amount iu trash. It is related of two members of Con i gross that in a social moment each boasted over the other of his early advantages, and especially ol his religious education, when one staked a hundred dollars that the other could not accurately repeat the Lord’s Prayer. The bet was taken, and the uoney put up, and he who was to re cite commenced : “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the nord my soul to keep; If I should die ‘ “ Stop ! stop ! said the other, “ you need , not go turuugh—l give up the money :I i had uo idea you knew it.’’ .V man was arrested in Virginia, a few days since, and being informed that t be was suspected of having been engaged in the insurrection at Harper’s Ferry re- j plied, He didn’t know Harper, nor where ‘ he kept bis d—d old ferry.” He was ac quitted.

In agriculture, us m other matters, we are often misled by the us ot phrases that convey laisc id as, , One of those, for in stance, is the tfriM Iwiuttr killed.” There is ho winter, grohably, severe enough to kill wheat, unless there is too much water m me laud. |As long as wo say “wiuter fcilled,” wo dnutort ourselves with the idea of a l’wivideiitial dispensation, but when wo say “water-killed,” we understand tn-.it the evil may bfe remedied,‘and we go to draining our lands. tjo it is with the expression “worn-out land.” \Ylieu uieu-are persuaded by the!

Let il be understood that there is no such thing as worn-out laud; that the j expression conveys a falsehood; that even vviiii our present lights, it is a very prac ticable thing, vv ttli a moderate degree of intelligence and skill, aud tio very large amount ul means, lo restore these lunds to | any degree of leridity tneyr have ever pos j sessed. This lesson has been well learned l in Maryland aud large portions of Vir ginia, hut our Southern trieiids ot the At lantic Stall s, judgiug from our exchanges, ’ have yet to learn it. Let them he told ; everywhere, and Constantly, that they have i no worn-out lands—that in fact their lauds were intended to last forever, and will last torev er, and feed and clothe them and their children for a thousand generations, bet our able contemporary, the South Carolina Fanner aid Blunter, says, “It lias just come to tins point —we can't slay here any longer, and live by planting without improvement.” Let our friend | tell Ins suoserthers tuut here iu “ary ! land we have tried the “down-hill,” aud many ot us have heen “West,” and have übmidoucu both one und the other for “im provement, aud know that, that is the | best thing. We are led to make the e remarks by a letter in the South Countryman, writ ten by the Uev. H. Best, ot Cass eouti ty, (jin , au inteiligeut gent.email, who alter suuic years ot tunning experience in one ot tno li.iest portions of lUaryniud, has made a large purchase iu the loniier State, and is, we nave no doubt, reaping ‘he adianltigo of uis early experience, and giving ti.ose about him tiie benetit both of | wise counsel aud guou example iu the way |of improvement. Mr. Best tells of the extraordinary i note use iu value of lauds in Maryland by the mere use ot clover and plaster; ot farms which twenty live years I ago could he bought for ten and twelve JihQls.being worth now, fifty, sixty and 1 eighty “dollars'per acre, and tally worth 1 the ditt,nonce, estnnatiug by the increase | of product; fifty bushels ot corn per acre mi lailow, are by no means extraordinary | crops. Tiie same may be said of other sections where lime has been the only ex traneous matter added ; Mr. Best relates ! Ins own experience in the use of Mexican Cruaiio and its . xtra irdiuary results; the marvellous effects of Feruviau (jl'uuuo is I even more familiar; wo have soon a ten fold mi reuse of crop from a single dressing, snowing alt the did renoo between almost absolute sterility anil tno highest degree !of fertility. Now what we wish to point : out is the absurdity oi speaking of such I lands as “won,-out, ’ ad the lolly of using a term which conveys a very erroneous idea. Take the ease of the land im i proved by the use ot plaster ami clover, ii re is nothing whatever added hut a oasliel of sulphate of lime *o the acre, for iow successive years, and the ni-un i.- the difference between six or seven i hundred und thirty bushels of wheat, i and fifteen aud fifty bushels of corn, and ail the difference between no grass at all alio one and a half tons of clover. Then where does the clover come from; surely from a bushel of plaster. The whole mat i ter is, that in adding what is a mere atom j compared with the bulk of soil to which it ! is applied, we have done all that was re ’ nuued lor a very high degree of fertility; | a thing simply impossible were the soil in tiie least deficient or worn out, us regards all the other essential elements of wheat ’ and corn aud other crops The method ot improvement suggested , by Mr. Debt is, without question, the true one, the deeper plowing and clover grnw i mg. “ I wni sow clover seed,” lie says, [“every month iu the year, until I find out then lit time.” I’ermuiienlimprovement on a scale of any extent, without dei p ploughing (a depth ol at least 8 inches) and the growing of clover or some goi and suostitute, we consider out of t he question. If tiiereris liny otlnar method we know no thing at all about it. —American Farmer. Valle or Wealth. — Wealth is nothing in itself; it is not useful but when it de parts from us; its value is found only in that which it can purchase; which, if we suppose it put to its best use by those who possess it, seems not much to deserve the envy or desire of a wise m in. It is certain that with regard to eorpor.il en j lyinent, money can neither open new avenues of pleasure nor block up the pas sages of anguish. Disease and infirmity still continue to torlue and enfeeble, per haps exasperated by luxury or promoted united by softness. With respect to the mind, it has rarely been observed that wealth contribute* mueli to quicken the discernment or elevate the imagination, but may tiy hiring fczttery or laying diiti getioe asleep, Confirm error and harden stupidity.— Johnson. Poverty and Honor. — Be aud continue 1 poor, young man, while others around you grow rich by fraud and disloyalty; be. without place or power, while others beg’ their way upward ; bear the piain of dis-| appointed hopes, while of era gain the ac- 1 eomplishinoDt of theirs by flattery; forego 1 the gracious pressure of the hand, for which others cringe or crawl.
