fled awar and I, a pilgrim from the East,
stood in the presence of this river and these
mountaies, I was hardly conscious of my
own idculitj. It seemed as though the
magical wand of imagination was still
playing fantastic tricks with toy memories
and ideas. Ah me! this Methodist kiny

ly. , But for this, I never should have seen
the natural wonders that ravished my vi

Tom Wilson's Scare.
After an absence of about half an Lour
Tom appeared staggering under the weighl
of a fine fat doe, which was soon dressed,
and a portion of it broiling over the coals
for our supper. This over, we threw our
selves upon our blankets, and, while enjoy
log the cheerful light of our camp firs,
Tom related his experience with the first
gristly be ever saw.
"You see when I first came op to this
country, I didn't know much about it; bjit
Goueral Garland alloecd ( was the man he
wanted to scout for him, and. so I entered
bis sarvice. ' When he was a travcliu over
the country, I nsod t make it a p'int to
look round considerable? when in camp, so
as to get acquainted with it like, because
in my business a feller had to know it pret
middliug well.
M I'd heerd a good deal about griuly's,
though I'd never seen one, for they don't
have 'em up in Kentuck', where I come
from, or in Texas either ; but when I heerd
old trappers talking about 'em, and tellio'
how savage aud strong tbey wu, I always
allowed that there waru't no kind oft b'ar
that I was afrd of, and' I didn't know
there was either. You see, I didn't let 'em
know that I'd uever'd soed one of the criU
ters, for I in ado up mymind that if ever
I come acrost one, tI'd haveka tussel with
him, and be shouldu't get away from mi
neither, though I must confess that I felt a
little skeery of a critter that could crunch a
man or kill a buflalu as wj as I could
break .an egg. Still; I ta.ked big, 'cause
talk is cb-y, you know.
" Wellmie day we was to the north ot
tbis.rgemped ou the San Juan Iiiver.
TbetXTley was eight or ten miles long,
and perhaps a couple wide.with the lig
gest oaktrets growiu' in it that I ever
seed growing anywhere ; some of 'em would
measure twenty foet round iie butts, and
the General said he reckoued taey was
mor'n hundred years old.
" I got tired of sUyiu' rouud camp and
doiu' uolhin'; so I walked down to where
the auimals 'if as feediu. aud talked to the
herder a while, aud then went ou down tiie
valley, lookio,' at the rock aud xuououuus
and trots, till I got a long ways from camp
and calculated it would take uie a good hour
to get back. After startiu ou the back
trail I happened to notice one tree, which
Blood a little to one side of my track, that
looked so much larger than the others, that
the idea came into my head to just examine
it. I had a stout oak stick in my hand, aud,
as I came pJb the tree, I hit the trunk
two or three blows to see if it was souuJ,
you know. Then I thought I'd see how
big round it was, so that I could tell the
General how many steps it took to circum
navigate it. So I stuck my stick in the
grouud for a m irk and started. - g '
" When I got about half-way round, I
happened to look up, aud I'll be blest if
there wasn't a grizzly as big as an ox, with
in two feet of me, a-settin' on hj haunches,
and watchin'me out of is hcjSJi the slump
of that tree.
