JANUARY 17 1878. 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 * was 'uow iti springing distatice. I .-aw him gather his limbs toge hm ; I saw *he movements of f.is muscles unTer his beautiful skin. He rreuebed luw. r, tiaUeiiitig his head ugaiust the grass and t:.<n leaped forward <o light upon ny d* fetiseless tiotly. FLI [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 ed near me, the breus* of the decend ing beast was msian.ly daslieti with blood, and wi It a ebr 1 . 1 < ij be fell a - U[ on my bod\,shot througli the fieart.

I bounded to my feet in rime to sa.e myself from being torn by the dying stiuirglrß of the bru e Karl Vanhnrr. stood near mo, his smoking gun in ins band. “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 SoutlK Waco lias in his employ an old daiky who rejoices in the sobriquet of 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 fa leu but for the sagacity of the dog. The faithful anij al howled in his ears and lugged at his collat until finally he became sufficiently aroused to stag ger on Items.

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.

From the Pittsburg Leader. • An interesting and novel experiment is to be tried soon in one of our ciiutches, which is as original as it is successful iu the’purpose for which it was instituted. The object of the in stitution to be treated of is to raise money fur chutch purposes, and a mure fruitful eouice of tevenue, in connection with pleasure, has no: beietofoiediecn di-covered. The Pitts burg chutch got its ides trom some chuiches in some Wes’ern cities The modus operand! ot the game, as it may be Called, or auction, is at>oui as loiliiwb: AL the„young ladies are mns’eied into service, and ar* com pletely enveloped by the auclioueer io sheets, so as to prevent their roeog ' tiitiou ot u.eir dtessov. Then theiijpretty faces, like [those of tire Turkish ladies, are completely veiled—a pillow-slip or something of that sort down over it. They r.ie pt’imited .to hove eye holes to look through ami mouth hole* to breathe through, but nothing more. So they have them disguised entirely beyond recognition. Tnun tlieuuo'ioueoi pro ceeds to auction them..lF as partners fos the evening to the young men, uud even to old tnen, if their, wives will permit them to bid. The bidding is almost sure to tie lively. At a recent \ v estom auction of this kind, tho lowest price at which a young lady was auctioued otf was one dollar and a half. The fun in the thing is the young men don’t know who they are biddiug tor, and (tie unveiling of the maidens in looked forward to with great expectation. Toe gent has to attend to the lady bought daring the evening, and to see her heme at the close of the festival. JIG CAME RACK.

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.
