cII Aim I'D BY A DAB Til EH.
A TEXAS STORY.
BY M E. R,
I had been three weeks in western
Texas: when I went out one brilliant
September day to hunt on the prairie,
in company with K.rl Vanhorn, an
experienced hunter and woodsman,
and a fine, good-Datured fellow. The
grejt prairie--one vast expanse of
waving gross—seemed as devoid tf
all track or land-marlr as the ocean
itself, so Karl directed me to stay
with him for fear of getting lost. I
did so until in the afternoon, when
lured by a race af'er one of the curi
ous mule-eared Texas rabbits, (hs big
as adogf I got separated from my
companion, and soou I was out of
sight ot him, and wholly at a loss
which way to go. 1 was fust on the
prairie, and I galloped on aimlessly,
consumed in the meantime by raging
thirst.
At last, .1 came to a grove of trees,
mostly meztie bushes, and to my
gteat delight found a little stream of
cool water issuing out from the side
of a green bank. Kneeling down, I
quenched my Hirst, while my panting
horse drank eagerly close by me
Weary and overcome with beat aDd
anxiety, I concluded to rest myself
and horse in this shade until it grew
coolei; and throwing,my.-elf down at
the foot of a tiee, I soon foil us’eep.
* A terrible dream awoke mi. I
opened my eyes bewildered and agi
tated, anil they encountered a pair of
fiery, intense orbs that sent a thrill of
horror througu my veius. G'n uching
near me, with eyes fixed upon me,
was a huge brindled panther. As
soon as be met my look he began to
waive bis tail arid creep nearer. Bee
iug my danger, the first impulse was
to spring to my feet and leeover my
gun that I had maned against a true
at a little distance. But to my horror,
I tjuuii inyselt unable to move- l was
held spell-bound by those terrible
eyes that I had inund fi -e.l upon uie
at tiu it stunt of awakening wnile my
nerves were uustrung by seep end
the terroi of a warning dream. With
a l the will at my command I stiove
to withdiaw my eyes from the leailut
orbs, creeping slowly, stealthily near
me. Again and again I made an ef
fort to move, but my limbs refused to
obey. 1 was cliai tried by ’his terriolo
tirute, held powerless by the spell of
Lis eyes, as a bird a.ed by a
cat, and a squirrel fascinated by n
rattlesnake. There I ay motionless 1
feeling my faculties tvery moment
grow more parayzed, .huugti memory
was heightened into unnatural vivid
ness, and incidents ol my boyhood
rushed over me one after another, and
1 saw the lace of my mother and sis
ter as distinctly as I ever saw them
with actual vision.
Neater crept my horrible charmer;
seconds seemed hours, if I could on
ly move nty eyes lids or cry aloud to
bp rtk the Sped !
♦SuhTeutly I felt that the purfther
was atiout to make the Fatal leaji. jj *

him gather his limbs toge hm ; I saw
*he movements of f.is muscles unTer
his beautiful skin. He rreuebed

grass and t:.<n leaped forward <o

[he sp.ure of a single breath, tie hung
suspended in the air; but in that t tie!
half s.’t' ii,d my eye took in the p.C’-
ure with fascinated distinctness —the
broad, white breast, the uihe, strong
limbs, every keen" claw stretched to
its lu'.le.t extent, the eyes burning
like living con's, the glistening ftflgs,
theiedjaws! Great stats! can lev
er turget the sight! I thought It was my
last s'omi mi ant!, and strove to strut
n.yTvis iijxin the horror, when sud
denly the sharp crack of a gun sound

ing beast was msian.ly daslieti with

“A pretty fellow you are to go to
sleep by Panther Spring —the great
resoit of all the animals hereabout. It
was a mercy I saw your horse, and
came to you in time. Why the mis
chief didn’t you inirv. end eo for your
gun ? Your eyes wide open.”
“I could not move a muscle, though I
felt iny life depended on it,” I answer
ed, all in a trinible, as I leaned
against a tree, too weak to stand. “The
panther hold me spoil-bound by his
eyes; the fear paralyzed me the mo
ment I woke. Did yeu ever know of
such a caso ?”
“Yes,” he answered, gravely, “I
knew of a child who was charmed the
same way by a stump-tailed cougar.
The father came upon them fired at
the brute, but missed it, and the child
was so badly torn it died.”
“Thank God, and your good guu
and steady hand, that made your aim
surer, my boy. Como, let us go home
I’ve bed enough of the prairie for one
day.” .
About Dogs.—A gentleman living in

General Skinner. Tliusamegentleman
owns alarge and intelligent Newfound
land dog, and the dog aud the General
are fa. t friends. They sleep together
in the same stable loft, and are seldom
seen apart. On Ohiistmas thedog and
the darky sallied forth to spend the day
in town,bat before many bouts had
elapsed the twain were seen returning
iu the direction of home. The General
had become profoundly boozy,and’.he
dog, the most intelligent of the two,
was leading him home by the coat
sleeve. When within a hundred
yards ol home the darby’s legs gave
way, and falling to the ground he lav
there a fit subject tor the police, and
into whose hands he surely would have

i TRAVELING WITHOUT MON EY
|
I HO IV A YOUNG HOY TRAM HKD AND
BEAT JUS WA Y FOR THOUSANDS
OF MILES.
From the New York Sun, Doc. 25.
“I rode thousands of miles on tail
roads without paying a oem,” said
little Willie Van Houten in the Sec
ond Piecioot Police Court, Newark,
yesterday morning. Willie la only 15
years old. He has light brown hair
and b'ue eyes, and is intelligent. He
was arrested cn Sunday on complaint
ot his mother, a widow, who at
162 James street. Ho returned to his
horns on thanksgiving day, ait9r ar.
absence of five years, and his mother,
fearing that he was about to go on
another tramp, had him arrested.—
Police Justice Jessup sent him to the
Essex county jail for six months, in
the hope of reforming him.
A leporter of the Sun, by pot rnis ion
of Warden Johnson, conversed with
Willie in the jail last evening. Wil
lie said ; “One day in jtine, five years
ago, I ran away from home because
I had trouble iu tile Tenth Ward
school and iu my Sunday school. I
-tayed in Jersey City for six weeks
and blacked hoots and sold papers at
the ferries. A rich man in Now Yotk
gave me a suit of clutljes. I next
wout to Port J- rv.s and stayed there
two weeks. Th*u Ihat my way to
Buffalo on the Erie railway. L rode cu a
passenger Irain to Chicago, the con
ductors uot touching me because 1
as so small. I sold papers in Chi
cago, but didn’t like the place, so I
dead-headed to Bt. Louis, where I .
s’opped for sevetal wooks I slept in j
the police stations somotiuie-, and 1
often made a fire outside the city'
limits and slep. beside it Sdm ’tiines
I would wake up aud find forty or
fifty tramps around the fire, but they
were good lo uro
“I next heat my way ou the Iron
Mountain Railroad to Middle Ruck,
and there Worked for a farmer a while.
Than I got lonesome, and I worked
tho cars until I got to Springfield, 111.,
where I sol i apples for three months.
One uigiit 1 was tenqfted by jewelry
in a store, and I bioke into the place
and got hold of some watches just aa
a cop collared uie 1 was sent to the
State Reform School at Pmliaj for
several months. After I got out 1
beat my way back homo on the rail
roads. I got home in February. 1
had been awny two years and eight
months, and had always bud lots to
eat ,’
“When did you getaway from homo
again (”
“I left iu the following May, und
wurke . a milk and freightear to Head
ing, Pa., where 1 worked for a Mr.
Lewis, in a furniture store, lor three
mouths, and then played tl.o conduc
tors On soft stniies and they passed me
to Chicago. I stopped in Cincinnati,
Columbus, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Day
tor,, Peoria, Saginaw nnrt Quebec, and
saw ii ft,, you bet. Enly last sp ing I
beat to Om.ihn,Net.,, but w 8
kicked off 1 the trains three times on
the piai ies. I tired to go to Sue
Fraucisco, but thy conductor chocked
i! off ti.e train for y miles beyond
Omaha, and, as it was cold and I was
a . aid of Indians, I hintt ury way
back to Sr. Lours The Omaha peo
ple were a iraid set. Alter vis’bng
all the cities iu the West I made for
ho ue without one cent in r y poDketa.
1 got into an empty freight sai one
night ana was loevDtj tn, and wjs car
ried to Scranton, Pa. I had to st'ike
tlie Eue road iu ordsr to get home.
I me tut to slay il mu her would only
lot me alone; hut .-he has enough to
lo ’k after, and 1 can make my own
living away from home. It don’t do
me any good to Lck me up here
among thieves, tramps aud rulfiins.—
It on y gives me a bad example ”
,“D;d you not tail in with tramps?”
“Oh, ye®. I met tots of them but I
traveled alone, because I could do
liettei, fi r uobody refused me some
thing to eat. I did chores lor my meals
tiut some people w..u!d uut let ine
work tor victuals, because I was so
i-nrall. 1 have see . tiamps tear a good
coal from a man’s ac. The tramps
travel in gangs of forty aud sixty aud
theie aie in times as many in the
West as in the East. Three years
ago Capt. Kennedy got up the Ger
man Band iu Columbus, and they aie 1
a *ough set 1 met them in different
cities. They would travel by different
rou.es, and all biing lip at oue potut,
there they would drink ands eal. 1
met Capt. Kennedy arid his gang—
I there aro only five uiive now —the
■ rest having been killed at Elizabeth
r,u last Thutfday. The gangs lika to
have boys tu bum the chucks, which
means ask for victuals. Boys are use
ful to fetch in handouts—that is, what
ever the people will give a fellow.—
Sometimes tiny would kidnap boys,
train them, and then sell them in
Chicago and New York—to thieve-, I
guess. But they n ver caught me.
“Thu Irish aro the most liberal

without a cent, sir, and 1 know it.”

almost sure to tie lively. At a recent

lowest price at which a young lady

young men don’t know who they are

maidens in looked forward to with
great expectation. Toe gent has to

BEECHER ON HELL.
In Plymouth Church, on Sunday
morn ng last, Beecher’s text was the
ninth verse of the first chapter of
Ephesians, and the theme of his dis
course was the Background of myste
ry which surrouuds, or rather ob
scures, all attempts to teach or undsr
stnud tho attributes and nature of
Gcd. It is not an easy thing, said
Beecher, for an honest, conscientious
man to know just what Ao preach.—
His own head had often reeled, and
and his rniud had been greatly troub
led, wheu he reflected upon his re
sponsibility iu this matter. It was
no easy matter to remove the rotten
timhevsjmd replace them with sound
ones, and not stop the voyage of tty#
h ; p. It was said that Adam was
created perfect : also that Adam sin
ned, and that in consequence of that
sin the whole human race fell. The
hum in rbcehad existed on the earth
for thousands and thousands of years
and ha! gone on propagating nnd
raubiplying, until all the waves of the
oc. an which had rolled in upon the
shore during those centuries did not
contain drops enough, nor the sands
of the sea particles enough, nor all
the figures of the arithmetic numbers
enough, to compute tlie> prefacp, to say
nothing of the body, of the great his
tory of the human race. The cum
bers of the human race were actually
beyond computation, and
ands and thousands and thousands of
years thy A hd beep, born dnto the
woilJ, had lived, uni struggled,' and
finally died, and gone—where? “If
you tell me that they have all gone to
heaven, my answer will bo that such
a Bwe[ing of mud into heaver, would
defile its purity, aud_l_cannot accept
that. If you that they £hava
gone to lieil, thin I swear by the
l.oid Jesus Chiist, whom I have
sworn to worship forever, that you
wiii make an infidel of me. The doc

them off into hell, not like dead flies,
but without taking the trouble e*en to
kill them, and gloating and laughing
over their eternal misery, is such
a heaver, us X want to go to. The
doctrine is too horrible. I cannot be
lieve i*, and I won’t. Thry say the
saints in heavcu are ‘so happy Lhat
they do not mind the torinenis.of the
damned iu hell; but what sort of
saints must they bo who could bo
happy while looking dowu upoD tho
honors ol the bottomless pit? They
don’t mind— they'er safe— they’er
lia.qy! What would the mother
think of die sixteen-year-old daughter
who, when her infant was'lying dead
in tlie housa, should come
and singing into the_roirlor, and ex
el.ion, “Oh! lam so happy mother! I
don’t ere f. r the dead baby in the
coffin! Would she not be shocked?
And so ai:h this doctrine'; and by the
blond of Chris'. I denounce it; by Iho
