And hie k nd eyes beamed jenderly In answer to my earnest look; Conont to win a suiil* from me, What pains my clever biother took! The whistle now is Isid aside; The year* hare fiown ainoe life began The boy who was his sister's pride Is grown into a famous man ! Yet a itl my olever brother plays, ID ineiuor., by oar ooitagedo r, And youth and hope and goldeu days Come back is mu*io aa before ! J. R. Eastwood. A Thrilling Adventure. Oirie Morton began life as • Liver pool butcher's boy, but be had never liked tbe occupation, and at tb« age of sixteen he forsook it forever. After knocking about for a year or two be emigrated to Australia. His fi st experieoee there was disap pointing He did not succeed in ob taining suitable employment, though lie tried bard for it. After • time he was so poor tbat be often went without dinner, and wheu he roe* in the morn' ins he did not kuow where he might lie down at night An old settler advised him to go up country, and move from station to station in quest of work. ll■ would ai least be sure of board and lodging. Oliria followed this advioe, and start od up oountry, carrying «ith him all bis p sessions, which were only u few pence sniue tobaeco, a pipe, and a strong cK p knife. He na,d not even a blanket. Atur some traveling about, fee got a berth at a sheep run, and was appointed to one of the out stations some ten miles away. The work wa- not difficult as the surroundiug country consisted of open plains, where good feeding was easily found for the sheep. The only water bole in tbe neighborhood was lose at baud, and tne little but was strongly built and comfortable. Chris bad only one oompanion In this loueiy spot, a quiet old Scotchman, who acted as hut-keeper, and also assisted to fold the sheep wheu thep were brongh: home at night. The two men were gool fiiends and assisted each other. One very hot afternoon, as Chris wiih bis coilie dog-'Ciib, 1 ' followed the sheep humewards. he was surprised on neariog the hu, to see uo signs of Hilly. He called and shouted nec or twice, then getting DO reply, br no up to the hut, wlien a horrible tight presented itaelf. The poor Scotohman lay dead bpoo the floor, a broken spear sticking in bii side; while the cabin bad been thorough ly rifled—flour, tea, augar, blankota, knives everything useful had carried off l>y the natives, who in thai part of the country were wero jaatly dreaded for toeir ferocity, and tbeit savage onalaughts on Koropesna. It waa an awful moment for Cbrio, who had never yet fallen in with any •f the eavagea, and *bo waa thus sud denly left alone and defenseless in • wild solitude ten long mile, ftom the need station, the near at spot where sue. eor could bo obtained. Ho bad oat thing to bo grateful for, however; bo ha I taken bi* gun with bin ia the mor. mug, add ho bad • good supply of am, ■aniiMM. When bo bad pt)||o4 himaalf toother after the terrible shock, he began to fold tbe sheep, an the animal* were straying in a'l directiana. Whatever dangers he might have to encounter, this was an obvious duty, as the; were under his charge. Bur while engaged 10 this task a low growl from (-rib warned hi n that some intruder was near Cautiously looking round, he aaw in tb« distance several dusky farms mov ing through-tbe thick scrub and under, growth of !he opposite range. Ilia an. etaie* were lurking tn the neighivi' boad probably waiting till darkness sc{ in be fore they murder d him J u - %ty bad dons hid poor companion ' f Chris was not more cowmriu than otner men, but at this moment An heart beat loudly, while the clammy moisture atond thick on his brow. Wh* should he do * To fly was to be pursued in a moment, while to remain iu in pbe l it in the but presented no proapaot but prolonged t rtuc and final destruction. Uuable to form s'iy defin te plan in hia bewildered mind, the poor fellow did what was perhaps the bes thing be eould do in tbe cirou mstanoe*. He walk ed back to the hut with Crib at his heels, and barricaded bis little 'or trass, looked well to his gun, aud sat down to await the result. Night speedily olosed in* and in si loooe and darkness he sat; tbe body of bis murdered companion laid upon one of tbe sleeping berths, ahile tbe dog crouched uneasily at hi* feet. Tbe puor animal uioaned aow and then, as ide tly knowing that danger was nea . After a wearv interval, Crib g*«e a lew growl and aat^erect, His ars were thrown back, and hi* eyes glistened in the darkness |ike balls of fire. Chris listeniuj with a baatlpg b'san was aware of a faint-ould as of MOID* one treading on dry twigs; thru be knew that hit enemies were at hand. Pre» ently tne door was gently pushed, when the excited dm; sprang forward, barking furiously. The savages, seeing that they were discovered, with an uuearth ly yell made a rush at the deor, which , telded in the upper hinges, and was forced from its position. Chris, though almost swooning with terror, was uot inclined to Its still and be worried like a rut, be therefore with his knilo cleared .1 space between the wooden slabs of the hut sufficiently lar ge to admit the tuuzzle of his guci Pir inig out be saw in the clear starlight aomo ten or twelve savages group id to. getner in convolution, and immediate ly leveling his piece, bo fired both bar rrels. T.,e horrible screeching that followed showed that • 1 damage bad been done, and the whole yelling ban J withdicw into the shelter 01' tlw scrub, carrying tbeir wounded with them. Aftei this all was quiet for about an hour, during which time Chris biactj up the door with every available piece of timber, and placed an old four barrel in the fireplace to give due no tice of any attempt at ingress byway ol the chimney. 'I lieu, strang.l to say, the poor fellow actually sell into a drowsy »laep, so ut'erly fatigued Wis he with all his crtions. Hut from this restful condition he wan again aroused by the. vigilance of Crib, who teni as before a low, muttered growliag, whieh told tiiat there was danger near. Obria at onec sprang to hi* loop hole, but nothing was to bo ,eeo in front of the but. He then went to the rear, and peered forth into the faint, gr y dawn. Ala*! hi* subtle for* were piling heapt of brush-wood agaioH the hui, and even aa Chri* made tbi* disoovejy a cra kliug aound, succeeded by a bri ght glare of light, informed him that the horror of Ore was added to the oth, «r danger* of h'4 situation ! For a few ■aiautea he w*a overwhelmed by thia discovery. He defined himself utterly Icat, and it wa* onli by a violent effort teat ha roused himielf to attempt tha only loopho e of escape that waa offered to bim. This wa* to plunge tbroogh tba ia**ea at ife* rear uf il.a hut, wbilji the enemy, tn avoid the smoke, had all betaken themselves to the other aide It wus a desperate resolve, hut what will a man not do to save his life ? Wrsppn® a wet rag around the loeV of hi» gun, and carrying Crib in bis j arms, he detached two of thn blazing slabs, stepped eut tbmagh the fljine*, and d irted off under cover of the dense smoke for Jhe distant rangaa He had safely surmounted tbe fiist tier, and wis crossing the valley beyond, when the nutories of the blacks proclaimed that bia flight bal been discovered Hut Chris had already a good stsrt, he was, beairi-s, at all times a awi t runner and fear lent Mings to bis feet Hut it was a terrible raee: ten hush mile* lay be. j tween him and aafety. He bad not tasted fond since mid day, and he was terribly buroed on the arms and shoul ders; b*it hunger, thmt, and pain, all | were forgotten in the draggle for life How far, or how long, bo eontinued his flight Chris could uever tell, when all of a sudden a spear whined by close to him. The savagea had got witbitran. ge, while shelter there was noae, for i the track of flight now lav ov«- tr--. Los plain. Again spears glen- 4by bits and looking around be saw Mat was pursurrtl by three of the blaoks one whom was much la advance of the others. The banted man preased for ward with set teeth aad straining mus cles while an agony of desperation filled his heart ; but as in ither spear tore up the sleeve of bis coat, sudden y tur ned and fired at the aearest savage wlm with • load screech, leaped into tbe air and fell mortally wounded. At iliat very momeut a faint sound smote upon pour Morton's ear, wh "h inspired h:iu with new hope and energy. It was tbe blea tiag of sheep ; be must near assistance when—crash ! —a a pear entered his shoalJjr an 1 thriw bim stunned and bleeding to the ground and tbs tjcit moment the savages were upon him. Crib, bold aid faithful > the last, fllew at tbe throat of tbe near est ioe, and ft reed bim back to the earth. Terrielr! at this naetpseted attraet the fellow shrieked for help, and his aoruraie, with hia com rade with one blow of his weapon, laid the noble dog senseless beside bis poor mas ter. But the temorary division in Chris' favor had saved bis life fer as tbe wret ches turned fron tbe dog to the man bans ! bang ! came twe shots from the summit of the low billl and several whi te men rushed fnrwark to the rescue ; »iid it is needless to say that uettlwr of the savages escaped. Tbe last shots fired by Phis had been beard by a shepherd employed at the bead station, and be had immediately sumuionncd tbe ether men, arriving as we have seen, just in time te save the peor fellow's lift.
