iiinup mix MI ALABAMA FARMER BAS A NARROW ESCAPE FROM A HORRIBLE DEATH. Kitpavla, A i.a., Aug. 26.—Punch Douglilie, a well known and wealthy farmer, living some miles from this city, and who came In to day to ascertain a cure for hydro phobia in inulei, relates that on Salprdpy hr rode out at the request of one of bis hands to Inspect the condition of one of his mules, which was acting strangely. When reaching the pasture where a dozen mules were, the animal ,Vr. Dough- lie was riding neighed, which at tracted the attention of the other animals! And tthe.sick one particu larly, which immediately rushed on the male and rider, and seized the saddle of the animal with his teeth. Ml. Doughtic dismounted and suc ceeded in loosing the mad mule’s =“A Grand Revolution "Oliver & Oliver COMPARE THE OLD PRICES WITH THE NEff STILL LEADS! -AT I, bqt no sooner .was this done ! than the infuriated heast turned bis i attention to bis ower, who tied lor j Ills life pursued by the mule. There | was a desperate race of a quarter of, a mile through undergrowth, and Mr. Dougbtie only saved himself by dodging around saplings. A small stretch of clearing intervened be tween , the, woods and the house, amt the terrified man took a life and death chance of making it. Before leaving the woods the mule bad succeeded in securing a portion of Mr. Doughtic's coal, and while ma iiieuvreing around the tree the mule bit himself savagely in sev eral places, tearing out a mouth fnl of flesh each time.;! The race for tire house was made, and just as Mr. Doughtie reached the top of the fenca the mule overtook him on a'dehdiropjfbut instead of reaching ing his victim struck his head against a fence post in a wild rush and was knocked senseless. The mule was afterwards killed by Mr. Dougbtie. It is suppose to have ; days credit : been bitten by a mad dog. Schumpert & Roney’s, THE OISTL.Y IKT AMERICU8.

After some con versation, the lady expressed sym pathy with him in some misfor tunes, “Yes,” said tbo old gentleman, •‘it is hard. 1 was fltty years get ting my property together, and it all went, as yon might say, in one day.” What a commentary on the words of tile wise man: “Wilt thou set thine eyes that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly’away as an eagle toward heaven." “But,” said the lady, with the •leeiro to comfort the venerable man, “but yon have a very line grandson.” “O, yes,” said the gentleman, with evident 'feeling; "1 have a good grandson.” So that even this little episode something honorable to human na ture may lie deduced, and a proof that personal love is a better illumi nator of a dark and lonely path than material possessions. The lady was a comlorter by a single appropriate reference to the grand son, doubtless a daily support. The other chapter is furnished by a verbatim report of a conversa tion lictween one ol New York's] most successful and eminent mcr- ! chants and one of bis tenants, j The capitalist had build a heauti-! lul house, surrounded by grounds lined with flowers. In the Ice, upon a baok street, wns a small, neat house, owned by him, which lie rented to tenants,'and a young couple, just married, had been liv ing in the house for a few months. One dajr the old merchant called upon hla tenants, and sat convers ing with the young woman, who ■aid to him; "Mr. B. your grounds never looked so beautiful as they do uow. and your flowers arc the centre of attraction In all this neighhorliod.” "Yes,” said he, “Mrs. 1).. they give you as much pleasure as they do me. Now, you are young and Just starting, l.et me' tell you j something.

An ancient writer told but tbe simple truth when lie charged three vanities on what the world has to offer; disapoinimenl in pursuit, uncertainty in possession, and dis satisfaction in enjoyment.
