They constant- ly, so to speak, carried their lives in their hands, and when wearied With their long day' ivareh they rolled themselves in their blankets and lay down to sleep tinder the branching trees and broad canopy of heaven, in fair weather or foul, au warm nights or cold, it was always with a mysterious uncer- tainty whether they would wake again in this world'or.the other. Many vearsago three of these brave scouts. who had escorted a paelaet-boat up the Real River, to a point where the count was con• sidered safe for the voyagers, were on their retern down the river in ? . emote, wt ich had been taken up with thele for this purpose. They were floating clown the river rar good Writs, for they had been suceessfnl int their toil, and this at►s their time for rest, having now nothing to fie but to keep their little eraft in the current and let it drift. They knew that the forests lining both banke of the rawer might,tt, and probably dad,conceal a merciless foe, and theta fetal bullet tight reach them at any moment ; but theehances of this were snremote, comparatively speak- ing, that they searcely gone a thougnt to the subject, and the fear, which night have troubled an inoxpperieneed ineu was to these brave fello,ss un 4210W11. When nearly opposite the mouth of an- other stream, a. tributary of the Red, one of young the three,a bright-lookingo man of � nn A twenty-two, said to his eompaniens : " rev, boys, just put ane ashore here, and I'lS up toa deer ick, right over the hill yonder, and gee if I eau bring in eemegame, A little fresh meet now Nall WA be a bead thing tc take." " Don't you think it too risky right here now, Duncan . (tweed este of its cona- anions. " ion know, on our way up, 'awe toitntl a canoe sank in the mud en the other aide of the river, which was proof enough that a party of Indians had crossed over there, and ate just es like as not they're back hero again and prowling around"; fray he watching tat from the very point where you, want to land." The youug man laughed. To hear words of caution from Nat Teasley fulilto listening to the devil quote Scripture," he said, g yly. " I don't often do it, that's a fact," was. the rejoinder, " but somehow I seem to smelt Indian in the air to -stay." ,e Well, !1 I'll risk my • partafif you n« a are not afraid to Iand me," returned the intre- pid Demean. "All right, then, an(dashore you go, even if it's flood -bye forever," said the other, as with his long paddle he sent the canoe o t(swa t r dhula land. n, " I)o yon want mo to go along with you, Duncan ?" asked the other one of the three, " No, Tom, you had better stay in the Cance wit •a Nat," was the answer. " If there is any danger one will be enough to lose." " Yee, and one too many, my friend. Shall we wait for you here, or drop along down t" " Oh, the latter, decidedly, for it the ravages are about here they might surprise you and cut us all off. Besides, if they should see you waiting hero they would be certain of somebody being ashore, and then they would either attack you or follow me." The river -bank was approached cautious- ly at a point where there was the least brushwood, and as soon as the young man had landed, the canoe, at his request, was paddled out into the middle of the stream and allowed to float with the current as be- fore, the understanding being that unless hailed by him sooner his companions were to land at an open place, from one to two miles below, where there would be or no danger of a surprise. After getting ashore young Duncan as- sumed all the wary caution of an experience ed borderer, bis keen, quick eyes peering all about him, and taking in every tree, bush and we might almost say leaf, with the sharp scrutiny of one who allows nothing to escape his trained vigilance. Then he moved cautiously forward gliding through the bushes almost as silently as a serpent till he reached the lick. A lick, as it is called in Western parlance, is a salt spring, where the overflowing wa- ters deposit a thin incrustation of snit upon the surface of the ground. These springs, here and there, dotted the great North west wilderness of that period, and were the re- sorts of all the wild animals, especially of the herbivorous kind, such as deer and buffalo, which came to satisfy the cravings of nature by linking the saline earth. As there was seldom any long period when some animal was not present at one of these licks, they became the favorite resorts for hunters,; but there was always more or leas danger in approaching them, especially in a country infested with Indians, because they were attractions to the red man as well as the white. As our hero came in sight of the deer -lick which he had selected for his present sport he redoubled his preeautions—first, that he might not put his life in the power of some secreted foe, and secondly that in case no foe were there he might not frighten away any chance game. The lick, however, proved to be clear of both man and beast, and having drawn near enough tomake his shot certain he proceeded to ereet a tem- porary screen or klind, cutting down some bushes, and so arranging them before him as to present a natural appearance, at least to the scrutiny of a deer, and behind which he could remain concealed from the animal. Here, stretched out upon the ground, and his rifle pointing forward, ready to deal sure death to any living object, the young man waited with the quiet patience of an experi- enced hunter. Birds flew over him, insects droned about him, the soft wind sighed through the great forest, but noother sights or sounds broke the dull monotony of his lonely watch till he found himself ancon- siously yielding to a drowsiness that would Anon have ended in =unconscious sleep. Rousing himself with a kind of start he lookedsharplyound and through his blind, and fancied Anti saw the bushes carefully seating on ie other side of th ''art . t• a lick. " some thing at laet 1 hope," he d to himself. Bat the something he saw was not the ,!Jinething he was wanting to see, for as the aushat elated farther he beheld first the grim feed of one savage, and then that of another, pushed cautiously forward," their black eyes seeming to glitter as they survey- ed the whole scene before them. They had evidently come hither for the same object as himself, tlae hope of surpris- ing some animal at the spring ; and when they found there was none they stepped boldly forward and stood revealed in the open space around the lick, which thesaline overflowing always kept clear and bare of vegetation. They were two strong, formidable -looking warriors, armed with guns, tomahawks, and knives, and our brave hero would gladly have withdrawin and left them iu peaceful possession of the place if this could have been done with safety to himself. But his artificial blind was ouly breast -high, and they were so near him that any attempt to retreat up the hill behind him would have! ,been certain to result in discovery and per-, leaps be quickly followed by either death ar what was still worse, a fearful captivity and probable tortures at the burning stake. It was a critical point of time in his ad- venturous career, and thoughts rapid as lightning whirled and flashed through his t dizzy brain, sending a burning beat down through every portion of his physical sys- tem. " At least, if I mustdie, I will only yield to fate niter I have done my best for life," washistnentel continent, tet he ran his eye along the barrel of hisri$e and took dolibet•- ate aim at the heart of the most formidable of the two warriors, who chanced to be fee- ing him, and was looking down into the spring. " I can at least kill one ot them, and theta I shall be man to man with the other." 1 With this last determination he pulled the trigger. The forest reeoundeti with a loud explosion, and the Ind ianhe had select- ed for his target dropped motionle-s at the feet of hie brave companion, who, contrary to savage pret etlents, did not turn to fly, but grasped his loaded, weapon and pointed it at our hero. " Theo is no merit in waiting here to he t ebot like a deg," thought the young white borderer. as lie suddenly bounded to his feet and ran in a sig;:ag manner up the hill behind him to prevent but foe from tak- ing a certain aim. Withfierce Yells of rage the savage lar ked in forward d a nit. rs t p With every breath he drew the flying fugitive expeete+d.to hear the report ot the Indians gun, and perhaps feels its missile in hie bolo, As he neared tbo brow of the hill he glanced over his shoulder to sea how great dangerwas behind, and perceived the Indian ' coning at full speed. There wee not a moment to be lost, bat as he turned his head again to :ace his course, and made a desperate spring forwnrel, he maidenly, to his horror, found himself entangled in the branebes of a fallen tree. He wi1,3 thus caught like an insect in the meshes of a spider, and,while making the most desperate exertieus to free l'imself, Ida eavage pursuer, seeing his predicament made a quick halt, drew up his gun, took a hasty aim, and fired. Fortunately for our hero, the Indian was tot a perfect marksman, or else his tire -arm did not carry accurately, for the ringing bullet p s ed past him, but s his oclc headstito r as to cause him to east it one side instinc- tively. "Now, then, that his gun is as empty as mine, I will stand my ground for a hand-to- hand fit►t," muttered the beefier scout. "It. shall never be said that I fled like a coward from a single foe," With this he was aboutcone o t t r on, of the 1 tree on the same side he bail entered it when suddenly the forest resounded with a. neries of the most appaling shrieks and yells that seemed to curdle his blood, brave as , he was; and, glancing off to the right, he saw at least a dozen savages come leaping and bounding forward through the bushes, Now, then, it was flight alone that could save him, and quickly extricating himself from his perilous position he dashed oyer and down theopposite side of the hill, the Indians all screaming after him in fierce pursuit. 'When be had reached the foot of the de- clivity he unfortunately hadanotherridge to ascend, in order to keep the course which. would the moat speedily take him to the river insight of his companions, his princi- pal Rape: and though he fully realized the peril of thus exposing himself to the shots of the whole yelling crew behind him, he instantly decided upon this risk rather than that of being completely cut off from his friends by a flight in another di- rection. As he straggled up the acdlieity, there- fore, he became ether target for urs blood- thirsty foes, who were in the act of rushing down the opposite slope ; and at least twen- ty shots were fired at him in quick succes- sion, most of the bullets whistling so close eround•him as to make him wonder at the geed Providence that still kept him unharm- ed. :But he was not to escape entirely free, for after a brief interval there came a single shot as if the marksman had paused fur a more deliberate aim, and he felt the shock of something strike his side, and then the blood flowing freelydowntohisfeet. That the bat?s had passed completely through him, and probably given him a mortal wound, he did notfor &moment doubt, and his only wonder was that be still had strength to pursue his flight and did not faint nor fall. `' Oh, God, if I must die," he prayed, "save me from becoming a living captive to my merciless foes." He reached the top of the ridge, ran down the other slope, and up another acclivity, with such wonderful celerity that his savage pursuers only came in sight of him again as he neared the. summit. They had loaded their pieces in the meantime, however, and they all now fired at him again ; but though two of the bullets cut his clothes, and one passed through his hat, just barely grazing his scalp, he escaped without another wound. This was the last he saw of his foes ; and altering his course a little he ran toward the river, where he hoped to find his compan- ions. To his inexpressible joy, as he came in sight of the Ohio, he beheld "them nearly opposite to him, in the act of paddling up the stream. They had heard the firing and yelling, and had rightly conjectured that their brave friend had been discovered and assailed by a body of savages, frc in whom he was making his escape, and they were hoping to be in time to aid him. He shouted to them, and they hastened to the shore, where our young hero met them, all. bloody and out of breath, and really dying as he believed. • " Thank Heaven, "he said as hesank ex- hausted into the arms of his companions, {'that T have escaped the savages to die with you," . They were alarmed at his condition, and as soon as they bad got safely out into the middle of the stream again they examined Ids wound. , To their great joy and his, it was found that the ball, instead of passing through Lim, a 1 he had supposed, had struck his :'7M.r,e1r7plan7JSMM4111, powder -horn, and driven some of the splin- ters into hie flesh, which had caused the blood to flow freely, but in reality had made only a trifling wound, from which he peed- ily recovered. Olever Tail Breaker: For some months Raojee behaved well, His devoted wife thou appeared and peti- tioned for some jewels, which she asserted were her own property. Anyhow, she loit- ered about, and it is said she had an inter- view with him, Whether shehelped or not in what happened afterward is best known to those who must have assisted our native Jack Sheppard in his wonderful escape. It is asserted that at 5 p. m. he was locked up in one of the solitary cells, whieb had an iron barred door and walls sixteeu feet high, with a batten and Mangalore tiled roof, The next morning Raojee was non est. His eseapewas no mystery when the mode was earefullyexaanined. He appeared to have been provided w itiha light rope some twenty- two feet long, which is usually used for the weaving weft. To this was knotted a tape from his pajama ; at the end of the tape be is supposed to have tied his cap witha little mud iu it, and had adroitly thrown, it .o as to pass between the beo na of the roof and the tiles : by a little shaking the weighted cap brought down this end of the rope with- in reach. When all was quiet he appears, ar is sacci':, to have swarmed up the rope and most professionally removed the heavy tiles', placing them carefully one on the top of the other. When the hole was sufficient to admit his body he got through aril drew the rope after him to assist in getting down from the roof. When titin feat was accomplished be had to circumvent the watehers and ele;er the inner and outer wall and pass the sem, tries. Nothing daunted, he appears to have made for the central tower by getting out of his own ward, wriggled into the hospital ward, and made far the outer ward. at the back of the hos- pital, Here he placed an iron tin against, the wall, butfound he was tooshort to reach the tep with its aid, SO he went to the building anal wrenched oft one of the shutters of a window, thereby procuring nails, which he fixed in the well to assist in getting on the top : this was easily acconap• lishe& To descend on the ether side was c hfor i •the(metier! n t in him but next res n na was , q a more serious one --.-that was, surmounting the outer wall, which varied from eighteen to twenty feet in height. Even this had been thought of, as be walked half round the jail to the blachsniith's shop, situated between the outer and inner wall where he forced open the chest, armed himself with an inn p,ement suflcient for his purpose, and next proceeded to the superfnteudent's office, whish is next to the eeroy s guard -room.

FRENCH AFRAP1 OF WATER. It's no Joke, but Abvolntely nor(' Work o Get rho Liquid to Drink. Much has been said in a facetious way about the diflleulty travelera have in France getting a simple drink of water, and some personal experience of the kind is oi►oaf the stock anecdotes of every tourist, And yet, as a matter of fact, this difficulty eau hard• ly bo exaggerated. In Normandy and Brittany Normandy en der, with a taste like poor Rhine wine buts complexion a shade darker, is the exclusive beverage of the people ; wine is a luxury, as itis nut made so far north : tea is praetie ally unkuown; coffee is taken solely fn the morning, and ehoeoiate likewise ;milk is rarely found at all, and absolutely unprocur- ableafter noon ; and water, to end the list, would never be thought of in this con- nection. We stopped at a fine copious spring by the roadside, and a native passing by hesit ated in curiosity and surprise and hastc*:ed to warn us that water was injurious and that it would make us sick ; and every time we inquired for water ata wayside cottage ma- dame would refuse to giveitto us and would respond with the inevitable cider. We had been about two days on our road to Paris when we began to get desperate at this treatment, for we had forgotten how water tasted, and as we passed a well and saw a woman appear at a door with a buck- et one of us rushed upon her and =cere- moniously seized it, and in another minute we were drinking defiantly of the interdict- ed liquid. The woman was still standing fn her tracks dazed and dumbfounded as we returned her thicket full to the brim, and in her absence of mind she refused the sous we offered her—the first case on record. -[Paris Letter.
