For three weeks the vessel encountered Buceession of head winds AO violent squalls, which, driving lter toward land, at length esnipelleddier captitineto au- chor em,411 bay on the coast �f Mo- rocco. It was a beautiful.; iiptiVee. but a fewhundredyards from one of the half-detatched peaks of the Atlas moun- tains. • . Gazing inland, the passengers beheld a • wealth of verdure, with tall trees and climbing plants, and flowers of variegat- ed hue, meny of the latter ascendiug to the tops of the rocky hills, and hanging dawn in long, ,graceful festoons over the valleys between. - In the afternoon, the gale having abat- ed, the captain lowered a boat to make soundings in the bay.. _ "1 would so like to take little .Clara ashore," said Helen to her husband. "You know she.has been. teasing. us all day long for some of those pretty flowers.", "Very well; if the Captain Will take the trouble to put us ashore, we will go," said Benton. The Captein havingiareedily givenehis consent, the two passengers were soon landed oil the. beaeh. "Don't go too far away 'air," said. the skipper, as he shoved off again. But little Clara, breaking from her parents, now rait up one of the lofty rocky elevations, the sides'of which. were cov- ered with shrubbery of the most attrac- tive color. "Wait for me, George," said Helen to her husband, "and I will bring her back.". The heightthe child was ascending to being- very steep, she had proceeded about a 'hundred yards ere her !nether overtook her. The naked arms and shoulders of the little one were by this . time scratched in several places from &intact with the beiers. Mrs. Benton, therefore, dipping her handkerchief into sa- spring trimiling down a rock, was about applying it to the bleeding parts, when she was suddenly startled by a roar, deep and prolonged, like rumbling thuitdete, apparently emerging from the vertheart of the mountain, and shaking it to its centre. Terrified, she turned to behold an awful spectacle - the huge, bristling head and, round, glaring eyes of the most dreadful of wild yeasts -an African lion ! First the head, and then the supple, . tawny body, appeared from the shrub- bery, the tail whisking furiously to and fro, the fiery tongue and. sharp fangs visible, as a, second, roar came booming from the cavernous throat. "Jest Heaven !" was all the poor lady could gasp, as with a mother's instinct she snatdhed the child to her breast. Mi. Benton now saw the clanger. He was unarmed, but he shouted to the men in the boat, who, turning, also perceived Helen's peril. To gain the ship's side, to call for and obtain loaded muskets, was, with the Captain, the Work of a few minutes. Re -directed the boat aehore. A cra.ck- lii3g report was heard as one of the wea- polls was discharged, and, with a terri- ble roar, the lion turned, slightly weund- ed, looking toward the seamen. • before and behind her, hemming her on both sides. . -% • .

There was no thee to los :-.1eis another mhuient the tawny body mutit come swooping down upon her. • But now a quick, wild t ought -a mother's inspiration - flashed through her mind. Under the armpits she clasp- edthe child with -each hand', and raised ithighltlinve he head; so that tlie bleed- ing soratchesna its whiteflesh werefully exposed to the lion's view. That sight roused to the full the un- controllable desires of thesavage heait. With a smothered roar he shot up from tie rock, his huge form cleaving the . air with one tremendous bound for the - • • That was what Mrs. Benton had wait-. ed for. By elevating the child, she had. compelled the lion to take a lofty leap ; and now, with her little, one, she quickly sank flat on the reek, thnii. 'eluding the monster, which; uttering one long; wild, _ terrible roar. was carried heal foremost, out of sight for evermore, into thefright- ful depths of the chasm: Nearly senseless from the fatigue and excitement she had undergone, Mrs. Ben- ton was soon after conveyed to the ship ley her rejoicing.. friends, who next day left far behind them, the place of that exciting scene of a mother's peril and, ti mely .stratagem. Only for a moment, however'the next, away he went in pursuit of Mrs. Benton, who, with the speed. of desper- ation, her child clasped tightly in her arms, was fleeing up the height. 011 she ran, the lion, though wounded, • gaining fast. Now and, then she would turn to •behold that hideous head within a few yaras of her, the eyes now resem- bling great white circles, with lambent points Of flame in the centre,• wluls the closed teeth and wrinkled nostrils be- tokened that it scented the blood from the scratches the little one had received, and -which had roused to the utmost the hungry desires of the. savage. beast. - • Grasping, pantmg; wild with terror and. anxiety, the fugitive hurried along, scarcely hearing, far below, the shoats of •the pursaing seamen. They could not help her -they were not ;war enough.. The Octims would he torn to pieces and devoured long ere they could attack the lion. •• This Mrs. Benton comprehended. She taw no way of escape -her only help was in Providence. Watching the figures, as he sped on at the head. of tne seamen, the young mis- sionary almost screamed in his -great agony, expecting every moment to see his wife and child fall a prey to the mon- ster. Ihe lion now being in a line with the fugitive, themusketswere useless in the hands of the sailors, who- would not fire at the animal for fear of hitting Mrs. Benton. The strength of the latter, in spite of her efforts, was evidently giving way. Her limbs trembled under her --she swayed. from side to bide -her gasping sobs could,be heard, even -lay the sailors. The savage pursuer now gained with fearful rapidity. • . " Great heavens !" screamed Mr. Ben- ton, striking his forehead with his hand, " can nothing be done?" Already the lion was within ' three yards of the fugitive. " Fire," shouted the missionary. "1. giv.e you leave. There is no other alter: native." "True," answered the Captain as pale as death; "it must be either the Erni or the bullet." • He gave his orders t the menItook airn, • and fired. But neither the begat nor the lady was harmed. In. their fear lest they should hit the latter, the marksmen had. aimed. too high. • On Went the puisuer and pursued, the lion new not more thaietwo yards behind his intended victims. • Mrs. Benton saw ahead a clump of 'gender trees, evidently growing from. a ' deft itaethe'rock. A wild hope apimated her, and gave renewed strength to her falteriaw-hiabs. By getting behind the trees, and dodging, aught she not Con- trive tee/elude the animal until the party f*me_below- should arrive' • The cluster of trees was now the covet- • ed gOal. and she strained every nerve to reach it. But When she was within ten feet of it, she met with a fearful disap- pointment -a deep, yawning chasm, right in her path, between her and. the trees, and. which, had hitherto ,been hid- den from her eight by high bushes fring- ing the edge. e The chasm was too wide to leap over. She turned and stood. at bay -her back to the abyss, her face toward the lien. Trixielling Instinct in Animals. •Th e power or instinet animals exhibit of finding their way back to a spot from whente they may have been taken., by a road nevertiefore traversed by thein, has long had st deep interest for naturalists.• • Pigeons carrying messages, or return- ing long distances to their "cotes." most' certainly find their. 'way back by means of sight. This is evidenced bythe fact of the long= training •required, and their inability or disinclination kelt), during a fog.. But this means of finding out a dis- tant locality cannot- apply in the cases we are about to recoid. - At Vancouver Island a gentleman had a - house on one side of the Esquimalt Harbor, wherein he and his family re- sided. They had a .fayerite cat which was petted a great deal. It so happened • that the owner of the house had occa- sion t� change his residence to the other side of the harbor. The distance in straight line was a mile, while to reach the house by making a, circuit of the harbor, a distance of retiite four miles must 13e travelled, and. that tfirough a dense fore-steof pines, thickly under - grown with brushwood.. When the fa- mily rentoved from one house tq the - other, pussy Was fastened securely into a basket and taken in a boat -across the harbor, and was not let out Of her prison until she was secured in a men at her new residence. It isquite clear in this case the 'cat could not have seen anything of the route followed by water from house to house. Strange as -it may seem, she, made her escape during the night, and when on the day following her removal some of the family returned for articles left be- hind, there was pussy, somewhat dirty and tired, but in perfect safety.. Now, she could only\ have reached the old residende in two ways -either by swim- ming the harbor, which is by no means probable, or sho found her way through, the forest, where she had never been be- fore, and through thick underbrush, without any trail or path to guide her; and what makes the matter . far more THE IttIllt0:$;.;:'i..;..'.14•.:00S.it'O.itti eraesie'kesse- dits way overei grassy waste-, never redden., by it previously, to a given point so distant.? There was no path or ttailtetad in the dark the horse could: not; except by smelling, have retraced its mina footprints. . Many ainailar anecdotes are on record, to Which the . following. authenticated casesmay be added. A. horse was turn - e(1 out in some marshes adjoining the Themes. The distance in ai straight line from his owner's -house was, only, a few miles, but he had to be sent a long way round to arose the bridge. In. less than twenty-four hones he made his ap- pearance. at . the , stable door, dripping wet. having swam the river, and taken a straight line home. During the life of the celebrated sportsman, the late Sir Richard Sefton, a draft of young hounds was sent up to London, by wagon, frOm the kennel, near Lincoln and there mit on board a vessel to 0o ;broad. While the ship-- was dropping down the Thames One of them jumped overboard and swain ashore. Some weeks after it made its appearance at the kennel hell starved, and covered with bites bestotved upon it by its more fortunate fellows. I regret to have to add that it was killed inimediately, so many valuable hounds having recently been destroyed in that pack by madness, that the huntsman was afraid to 'take it in. • Some years since a dog -fox was run to ground on Hatfield. Heath, near Ash- ford, Kent. When diig out he was found to have some remarkable white spots about it, therefore the Earl of Thatiet had him sent to his seat in Westmoreland -Appleby Castle -a dis- tance of 300 miles, and tuned down. A fortnight afterwards the same fox was killed.atHatfield-his native place. SVECIAL NOTICES. , - t, BREA. KFAST. --EPPS'S COCOA. --GRATE- WA AND COMFORTING.

About 6 o'clock in the evening she was sent off haine by the purchaser, and was placed in the yarda distanee of fifteen miles from her former home. At 6 o'clockthe next morning she was found back in her old idled, quietly chewing her cud and waiting to be milked as usual. "1• once purchased a brood of .clack- lings, about a month old, without 'the hen that hatched them. I took them home and placed them, as I thought safely, in a pig-podial. In the morning I. -found they were all gone, and I dis- covered them snugly huddled togeth8r at their old quarters, at, the other end of the village, in the neat in which they were hatched. A laborer told me he had met them in the street, homeward bound, at 4 o'clock 4. M., as he was going to work. They had not been off the premises where they were bred before." There seems no doubt that Providence has bestowed on animals an instinct which- we do not possess, and can, there- fore, with difficulty comprehend or ex- plain. By this instinct birds of passage find their way to the remotest regions, ,and return to their old. haunts, guided by some power beyond' that of sight or other outward senses. ee•ee The First Musquito.

You think of the sleepless nights that you must pass ; vou imagine Yourself tossing and tumbling wonderful is the fact that the cat must have passed close to an Inc round which a large number of dogs were always prowling. There is another story of a s simile& character told of a cat I believe, well authenticated living." says the writer, "at Clarendon, Jamaica, I wanted a cateand had one given me, - which was nearly full-grown; it was brought from Mor- gan's Valley Estate, where it was bred, and had never been removed from that place befote. - The distance was fit e miles. It was put into canvas bug and carried by a man hri horseback. Between the two places t.leere were. two rivers, one of them eighty feet broad and two and a hall •feet deep, running strong ; the other is wider and more rapid,. but less deep. Over these rivers are - no bridges. The cat was shut up at Four Paths for some days, and when consider- ed. to be reconciled to her -dwelling, she was allowed to go about the house. The day after obtaining her liberty she was missing, and upon my next visiting the estate ahe was brought from, I was cafe • amazed to learn that the cat had come epack again. Did she swim over :the 4rivers at the fords, where the horse came through with her, or did she ascend the banks for a considerable distance in search of a more ehallow place, and where the streem was less powerful; Al all events:Id:1e must have crossed the rivers, in opivsition to her natu 1 habits." I myself once had a favorite sp niel, called. Sport. „ He was lent to a ritiend, who came to -fetch him. S rt was• in a dog cart, and dri en to my ftiend's -residence, a distance of over twenty miles, The cart was so made • that air could freely get in for the dog to breathe; but by no possitility could any part of the road be seenduringthe journey. On his arrival, Sport was tied up with a rope under the manger in tbe stable. During the night the dog gnaw- ed his rope, made his escape through a broken window, and he was discovered early in the morning succeeding his de- parture sitting weary, hungry and be- draggled outside the door of my own residence. Now the question which naturally presents itself is: how did the dog find his way back alonera road, not. one foot of which he had ever seen be- fore? The remembrance of particular objects noted by the way could not have guided the dog, simply because he had no opportunity afforded him of seeing them. • I once, while living in the Far West, rode a herse from • my camp ;across a prairie to an en.canipment of squatters, a distance ofonore than twenty miles.. A river of soihe width was crossed- on the route, the horse being ferried over in a large boat.. The animal had never travelled the road previously, nor had. it ever inn npon the prairie, and yet during the night*. contrived to Itteak its tethereline, and in the dark to find its way back to our camp ; and what is more strange,the horse actually swain the itreain it bad, during the day, been 'ferried over in a boat.

It contains no buttermilk, and but little salt.- The secret of • this per- fect butter is that it is churned daily from fresh milk. There is no." setting" of the milk, no skimming of cream ; no vexatious care to secure cool cellars, fresh air, and equal temperature. The fresh milk, simply allowed • to cool after the milking, is churned by mechanical power, and by the same means the buttermilk is thoroughly worked. out. In our variable climate it is almost impossible that but- ter from the _same dairy should be uni- formly the same. A remedy for this difficulty is said to be found in the method practised by this -Illinois factory -churning the fresh milk instead of stale cream.

There are but few preparations of medicine which have vtithstood the impartial judgment of the people for any great length of time. One Of •these is Tioistas' ELECTRIC OIL, purely a prepar- ation of six of some of thebest oils that are known, each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific , physicians know that medicines may be formed of several Ingredients in certain fixed proportions of greater power, and producing effects which could never result41;om the use of any one of thernror in different cambinations. Thus in the pr4aration of this oil a chemical change taken places forming a compound which could not by any possibility be .made from any other combination or proportions of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients, and entirely different from anything ever before made, one which produces the most astonishing re sults, and having a -wider range of applieation than any medicine ever before discovered. It con- tains no alcohol or other -volatile liquids conse- quently loses nothing by evaporotion. Wherever applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas with other preparations nearly all the alcohol ih led in that way, and you get only the small quan- tity of oils which they may contain. • S.
