.\ HAPPY HOLLOW HUNT.
EAR oM "Happy Hollow" was ojir bome — aji^Meal little po^fs valley, nestliug in the inaantaias of East TeDOeasee, a n il Burronndetl by splendid mountain ranges. The name was most appro¬ priately given to that hollow, whicii was happy in fact ns io n,'ime, where, iu company with my lioyhooil's boon oompaniou, Plato —a great ugly brindle enr ilog, as true auil fsithful as dumb brnte ever was —I havo bail many an exciting boyish romp and ramblo in tho days long gone.
Ono morning in tbe early fall of 1851, whila Plato and I wero out for n rabbit hunt in the npper end of the Hollow, I had an experience whioh I am in no danger of forgetting nnlil lifa itself is forgotten. Tt was my fonrtoenth birthday, and my father had presented me that mcrning with a long-coveted treasure in the form ol It shotgun. It was It single-barrel, muzzle-loader concern, aud would donbtless be considered qnite anti¬ quated by boy friends of thisnilvanoed age of the breechloader and tbo ham- merleps. At nil events, it was eutlreiy up to lUto tbon, and I am able to re- call few prouder, happier moments of iuy lifo than when that gnn—I have it yet—first, camo into my possession. On the morning in question I had It ou my shoulder, feeliug like a verit¬ able Kapoleon Bonaparte goiug forth to conquer the world.
Tho rabbits must hove heard the nen-8, however, for, huut as be would, olli I'lato could not start a single one of them. They were ordinarily plenti¬ ful enough.
At lengtb, weary with walking, I sat dowu at the viiry foot of tho mountain, whioh formed an almost perpendicular wall above my head, Just to tbe right of mo was the dreaiied "Dauger Line" ot tbe monn¬ tain range—a rocky, barren, desolate stretch or belt aorpsa tho mountain, with here and there a cave sunk in or a huge rock jutting out. Wben all tbe rest of the monntain sides were clad in tho green garments of spring¬ time, or tbe russet robes of antamn, this stretch of sterile, untimbered land showed, naked aud glaring, like an ugly frown on nature's face. It was soma unpleasant freak in tbe con- strnotionof themonntains that I never knew tbe reason for, bnt I know that "Danger Line" was universally avoiJeil, by white and colored alike— tha latter ileclaring that it was "banted," and the former tbat tbere were rattlesnakes, and even worse things, to be encountered tbere. My mother bad positively forbidden ma ever to go iuto tbat part of the moun¬ tains, and hitherto I bad aeen it only from a distance, onrioasty.
I hnd sat tbere nnder the shadow of tba mountain iu tbe sweet autumn stillness for perhaps teu minutea, tired, balf drtiamiug, balf wishing my¬ self at home, when I waa suddenly aroused to life and interest by a furi¬ ous, excited barkiug fsr up the cliff above me and alightiy to my right. At first I doubted my ears. I had never known Plato to cross iuto "DangerLine" by so muoh as one step before, and so I was at a loss tu account for it And yet that was Plato'a well-known roioa I beard; tbere conld be uo mistaking it witb me. There waa something strange, romantic, abont it all, and I waa burn¬ ing with desire to sea what manner of itame ha could have treed np tbere. I fememberod my mother's waruing— and faltere.1. It has been my experi¬ ence that wheu a boy falters in the face of dnty, disobedience bas scored a point and tronble is near at hand.
Thare waa my naw gnn, as yet un¬ tried, eioapt at lifeless targets, and, after all, perhaps it waa only a sqnir- rel. In abort, mytbirat for adventure got tbe better of me, and my delerm- inatiOR to follow Plato was flxeil. The uext thing to be decided was bow to get there. I conld tell by his bsrk that Plato was a considerable distance at>ova me, and tbe height was well- nigh inaeoeasible. BatJ[ was young, strong and active, as monntain boys ara apt to be, and I bave aometimea thonght tbat il a fcurteen year-old boy determined to climb a sunbeam ba conld almost aocompliab tbe taak. The mountain-aide waa covered witb small nndergrowth, and witb the aid of this I determined to make tbe aaocnt. H.ilding the gon with one band, slowly and laboriously I pulled myself up Irom bush to bush with tbe other, gniding my conrse by the ceaaeleas barking of Plain up above me. At tbe end of about an honr of anch toil I reached the top of tbe flrst blnir, where, for a width of aometbing more than a hundred yards was level ground, reacbing to the foot of the next bluff, a&il, with no climbing uow to do, it was tbe work of Imt a few momenta to reach Plsto.
Coming up to him I found him sta¬ tioned at the end of a huge bollow log, an.l baying with mure animation thau I bad ever known him to do be- fure. I iliiu t ka.iw nliy i* was, but a* I reaohe.l lii« ei-Je stimetbing atopp«it me. as tl.niijh a strurg hand ha.l been lal.l npiu my .licuMer. and my mother's warning came iuto my min.1. I turned tny lace t.iwar.l bome, and for one moment my conscience twitt«d me and my reaolution weak¬ ened. Bull shiHik oJT tbe spell and stooped to loi'k int.1 tbe hollow log. It waa a* .lark as uieLt within, and I could distingaisb nothing. I tben went aronnd to tbe other end, bnt found that tbere was no hollow there. I beat apoc the Iov and listaocd, bat BO soiwd eame forth aav« tha achoM.
t conld think ot nothing else to do, ao I knelt down, cocked my gnn, pointed It into tbe log, pulled the trigger, and —"bang!" rang ont on the mountain air. Instinctively I sprang from tba log, and almost simuluneonsly with tbe ahot came an answer from witbiu, in tbe most savage, the most blood- onrdling, hideous sound, I tbink, thi)t I bave ever heard, and accompanied by a noise of scrambling out of the log, wbiob filled my whole being with fright. I bad never kuowu Plato to run from auy living thing before, but b« preceded me in the flight tbis time. Long as it takes to toll ii, we were scarcely started when ont of the log came tumbling n great, furious hungry bear, bearing down upou us lika the shadow of an awful death. I can shut my eyes uow as I write of it, and feel the shiver of fright run tbrougb me, as I felt it at tho sight of tbat bloodthirsty beast, nearly fifty years ago. On we" dashed, and nearer Bruin came, the blood streaming from his angry face, where the shot from my gnn bad taken elTect. On, oul and nearer, nearer, and yet nearer tbo infuriated creature behind usl .4nd thon—horrors! The briuk of the great bluff was reached! Straight downward, with not a tree, not a friendly bush to aid me—a descent imposaible, even with ample leisure and greatest care!
Far do;vn below me smiled the ser¬ ene beauty of Happy Hollow. Thera were the cows, the borses, the sleep, browsing quietly, aud tbero wns the dear old bome with the maple before the door, under whose friendly shads I bad probably rested nnd listened to the musio of tho mocking-birds fur the last time. And tben mother's warning came again before me—too late!—distinct and reproachful.
To attempt a descent were certaiu death, aud death equally as certain was jnst behind me. Reloadicg my gnn wss now out of the question, ond, bad it not been, the shot it carried were too small to do more thon fur¬ ther inoense  the murderous pursuer.
Poor old Plato stood cowering by my side, trembling and whining pite¬ ousiy, and in the bitterness of my de¬ spairing heart 1 accused him of it all —not dreaming of what was to follow,
Tho supreme moment had come, and I wan almost palsied with fright, witb nut tho sti-eugtb or the resolu¬ tion to raise my gun to strike a last feeble blow for myself.
Within ten feet of me the bear rose on bis hind feet to wbnt appeared to my frighteifed vision au almost in¬ credible height. He was preparing to spring! I knew tho end was come, and I tried to pray. Tho power of speech, of thought oven, hod deserted me. As he sprang upon me, I thought to close my eyes, but tbat privilege, too, was denied me.
Another moment and I wonld have breathed my last, when, as if by a noble iuspiration, all bis wonted cour¬ age regained, Plato met the spring and plantcil his teeth in my vicious assailant's throat. The bear clinohcd witb him, and I sought to turn—like a coward—ond ily for my life; but I oould move at best only a few feet backward, so weali and nustrung was I.
The struggle was flerce for a moment, bnt I saw that it was all over for my dear old brindle playmate, and I re¬ alized tbnt it would bo but a question of a few seconds before the monster would turn on me.
Thero waa a crash at my feet, a giving way of the earth I The great rook on which they struggled for life and death had broken loose from its moorings, carrying Ibe ugliest bear and the noblest dog I ever saw, crash¬ ing down the awfnl precipice, to mutilation and doath below.
It was the middle of tho afternoon when I, a tired, weak, sick and re¬ pentant boy, reached homo to receive tbe blessings aud forgiveness of my foud and frightened parents.
At the foot of that bald cliff, just where he fell on the lovely autumn day in the long ago, you con find it now—unless impious bands have re¬ moved it—a stone slob on wbicb is rudely chiselled tbis inscription:
. Snored to the memory of :
PLATO,

A FKIESD.
Within a few feet of wbero I am writing now, snoozing snugly in the eveniug sunbeams, where they play npon the floor through the open win¬ dow, is n largo and lieantifnl Maltese cat, coiled up, in restful oblivion to all I am wilting, on an immense boarakiu, the wearer of whicb once came so near makiugan end of me.— Knfns McClain Fields, in Country Oentleman,
CHARACTER OF THE TACALES.
A writer in the Neuesten Naohrich- ten, Munich, describes tbe Tagales, tbe dominant race in tbe Philippines, in tho main as follows:
They are uot incapable uf adopting civiliaation in the modern sense, as they are a very mixed race. The ad¬ mixture of Chinese blood has produced vory good results. The number of mestizos whose father was white is also very large, and it is these descend¬ ants of the Spaniards who fight the battle of freedom. Xor are tbe i'agsles themselves without civilization. They hsve chuwu much uatuial strength, have advanced from tbeir original home in ceutral Luzon to every part of tbii Philippines aud assimilated many Malay tribes. T»o enemies they have, which are moro dangerous than either tbe Hpaniard or the .Ameri¬ cans. They are indolent ntid their morals are Isi, The Spaniards bave done much to civilize them, but to tbis day many return to the life of a hunter after some years' residence in towns and villages. Tbey were, nevertheless, in a pretty sdranoed state of civilization wheu the Span¬ iards came. This is easy to see in tho Igorrotos, a kindred race, whicb re¬ mains heathen to this day. The Igorrotos live in fine villages of well- built houses, and their agrii-nUnral system is really worthy of admiration. The Tagales themselves are ardent Catholics, bnt they retain many heathen cnstoms. Their highest aim is to get a sun into tbe church, but they do not observe celibacy very strictly. Many of the mestizos, Chinese as well as white, are wealthy men, and as tbese lead in the move meut for independence, it will be dif flcull to conquer tbe island?.

I stnnd rather a liquid perlume thau what j we commonly  know  ss   ointment.    This ointment was In an ninbaster flask ( Matt.), usually mails of Oriental oronvx alabaster i  With  ionit, narrow  noi'its.     Ointmunt   ol I S|iikenard is  iiterniiv "ointment nt  pistlo I nard." "pisii'" mennlnn either "genuine" ' or "liquid."   It was pure nurd, like attar i ot toses, unadulterated, in  lull  strennth. Its costliness made 11  ppcuilnriy iiahio to I adulteration.   Spikenard (spike-nard) was I  a plant closely allied to valerian, and now found In thn Himalayan region.   The odor Is described as resembling thit   of  a  mix- lure ot valerian and pntchoiiil. It Is worth 300   lloman   pence,   denarii,   silver   coins I  worth   ntteen  to seventeen cents.    Hence the whole was worth about tin. cr .4300 to :   HOO in nur time, a pennv or denarius lie. ;  Ing then equal to a day's  wages (Matt. 20: ,   S).     "Aooiuted the  feet ot  Jusus."

"Aud   wiped   HU j   feet  wllh  her  hair."   This,  too, was un- 1  usual.    She  took   "woman's  chief   orua. ment," and devoted it to wiping tho travel- stained leet ot iier Teader.    She devoted \  the besl she had t-i even  tlio  least  honor- I  able service for Him.     It  was the utmost possible expression of ber love aud devo¬ tion.
