Bat qe liad rtmifitifed AS tWt! condition bat SBhbrttline Htfd had Mwfely thrust the Ramrod down the barrel of his piece to he scrre the change, was in her, and to examine her priming, and abut down the pan slowly, so that it should not snspv add thus make a noise, when his .keen Indian eye, for such he had, caught a glimpse of a monstrous panther leading cautiously two panther kittens towards her intended'suppr. Now matters were hastening to a climax rapidly, when Wheaton or the panther must finish their hunting on tho mountains of tbe Susquehannah ; fbr if old smooth bore should flash in the pan, or miss her aim, the die would be east, as a second load would be impossible ere her claws would have sundered his heart strings in the tree where he was ; or if he should but partially wound her, tho same must have been bis fate. During these thoughts the panther hid her young under some brash, and had come within some thirty feet of the spot where she supposed her vlctiip had been I still Sleeping ; and seeing all'aS she left it, 4he dropped down to a croudhing position, precisely as a oat when about to swing on its prey. Now was seen the soul of the panther in its perfection ; merging from the recesses,of nature, bidden by the Ureator, along the whole.nevvgus system, but resting chiefly in the brain, from whence it glared, in bright horror, from its burning byes, curled in its Btfodg and vibriting tail, poshed out its sharp white and cliptieal fangs from its bwiwiand potferflil paws, ready for Tending, glittered on the points _ of its uncovered teeth, and smoked in rapid tissues of steam from its red and open jaws, while every hair:of its long dun hack stood erect i,n savage joy, denoting that tbe Altai and deoisive .moment of its leap had 00me- Now the horrid pestling of its binder claws drawn'undet i,te belly heard, and the bfent ham strings were seen but a half iffttknt by Wheatoo, from where he sat in the tree, when the tremendous leap was itoafAe. It rose on a long enrve in the air, bfabetrt Ken fisttlif the highest place, and ftvw thenco descending, it struck exactly where the breast, beadr and bows*rofits prey bad-lain, with feiicregm 'too horrible for description, when it tore to atoms the rotten wood, filling for several feet above it, the air with leaves nod light brush, the covering pf the (Jeception. But instantly tbte panther found herself cheated, and tridrtp a1 little with disappointment, when, however; It rowmed an erect posture, and surveyed quite around on every aide on a boriaontal line, in usfch of its prey, but not ?dwoovoviiigC ity. she dast a, furious tops of the frees, when in a moment or two the eyes ar Wheaton and the. panther met. Now for aup/tbgr, leap whin ,she dropped for that purpose—but tbe bullet and tj|ro buckshot of oWrfthooiX bore were too quick, as ho lodged them exactly in (he brain of the lavage monster, and stretched heT dead on thai spot where the banter bad slept bnt a abort time before in the soundness of a inoMntaitt.dream. .i n wijifd _ tii I jj.WehadmarkedlJvaepotwbaiieilwryowig JW wbiflbh tfMllw r«pCwt. of tbe: e»n, we frightened and ran up a tree.— came tho panther to,measure, from.the epd of the nose I tall' .eight t{! eMs {ff'iengtfi—U pfeaWxi' sflSi'cTentjy sirdhit« haVe cttWiea»ita'off 6n «WfiW, had Be'falltt* 1SWi& p^et.Hfe VioVfelcraded, and wetil to tKc tree wherebeD kittens, or young panthers were, and soon : brought them down frfcm their grapple among the limbs, companions for their conquered and slain parent. Wheaton dismantled them of their hides and hiwtejied away, least some otlwi encounter, before night should set in, might overtake him, of a .similar character when ffie disadvantage of darkness might decide the Victory in a wit mote advantageously to tho roatriafs of the forest. Of this ftat Ben Wheiaton herer ceased to boast, reciting it as the most appalling passage of his hunting life. The animal had soented him while asleep,'and bad seeared him as she supposed; intending to give her young a specimen of the manner of their future Ufe, or if this is too much for the mind of 4 dumb animal, she .intended at least to give them a supper. This circumstance was all that saved his life, for the panther would have leaped upon him at first, and ha'retorn him to pieces, instead of Mjvfcrlrtg hiin with leaves, fcs it did, for tlie'sake of her young. The panther "'ferocious and most untameable animal, whaee iiatnre and habits are the same as the oat; except that the nature I Ihd powers of this domestic oreatwre ate in the paniH«r, immensely magnified, in strength find voracity.

In the conduct of Rahsb, who seoreted the spies, in her dexterity of movement, her feminine taci, and the encouraging communications she made, we observe thatthe influence and active agency of woman has been a very prominent element in the earliest campaigns of Mars. We admire Rahah in her solicitude for her kindred, we adp»ire tbe kindness of the spies in pledging themselves to save the family of this woman. And when we see tint scarlet thread in the window we feel that the pledge will be kept inviolate. We feel sura that Rahab will not divulge the impending fato of the city, for her safety is contingent on her silence. Now let us look at the spies as thev go back to Joshua with the news ; let us behold the mighty army on the march from Shittiin ; they are now at Jordan, and tbe river is no obstruction to their advance. The priest's feet are in the tiderand on their shoulders rests the Ark. Tbe waters are cloven at the socredotal touch, and the armed host go over safely. From the bed of the river the twelve mystioal stones are taken for a memorial of the achievement soon to be consummated, and now within the shadow of Jericho rests the host of God ready to take possession of the city. On the plains of Jerioho the passover is eaten and the miraculous manna has been withdrawn, while, to encourage Joshua, the great arigel of the Covenant has appeared to him assuring him of his ultimate triumph and investing bim with superhuman might. All is now ready and Jericho feels itself noiselessly belcagured. There are no retrenchments other than the city walls to gnard it fVom assault. Panic long ere this had seiced upon the Oanaanites' and their melting hearts had paralyzed their- hands. The harvest is ripe for the sickle, and the sheaf is nodding its crest in terror. And now an armed takes np its line of march around the walls once in six successive days with the ark of God in the van, and tbe trumpets clanging the prelude of destruction. There is something quite solemu in the steady tramp of a legion of resolute soldiery. Each solid fqot fall moving in harmony oonveys the idea of embodied might;'and the heaTt says to itself that victory is in the distanoe bcckoning advance. This procession was august and splendid, and the long line of investiture was lit up by glory from the heavens. It was - God himself drawing the line of his avenging providence closer and closer around a city marked by its surpassing crimes. It was God bringing his parallels nearer and nearer to those whom he had doomed. Subsequent to each solemn marcy around tbe city tne'host goes into camp and soundly sleeps. There is no dread of pickets or skirmishers here, for Jericho awaited its doom and felt that it had God to deal with now and not mere vanquishable mortal. For six days ;(bp procession of ark and priests and soldiery wind around the walls of the oriental oity as a glittering and burnished snake, twisting its coils around a bird or beast, and then, on the seventh day, the army moves seven times sround the walls. No sound but the martial tramp, now more heavy, and waking up fuller and completer eehoes, and the clangor of the sacerdotal 'horns. Bat with that seventh investiture came the command from Joshua to that mighty host, to shout. We often read now of our own hardy troops going into action with a mighty shout, thongh not folly certain of the particular issue; but could they know their viotory was not contingent, bat perfectly sure, how much more emphatio would be the joyous and united vociferation. It would be the diapason of the ocean transferred to the solid land. Such a shout was that given by the Jewish army, at the la^t; trumpet and human voico combined in one steady peal of jubilee, and the palmtrees swayed to and fro in the currents of thO'Scmnd. And Joshua lifts up his voice and joins the ohorus, for bow can he refrain. The sounds of triumph are always contagious and sweeps us all into a common of loud expression. And now comes the climax of thi8 singular and impressive siege. The last cadenoe of the shout is gathered up into a blast' of strength when tbfc final act of the drama is disclosed.— Tbe walls fall flat by miracle, and over those prostrate battlements pour the tribes of Israel like bees from a gigantic hive.— Then we have an example, not of Southern, but of Jewish chivalry. That scai let thread in the window of Rahad is an angel of mercy to both herself and her family. She is spared, and her connections by hlood are embraced in the same amnesty. Her faith in God has not miscarried, and she is now sacredly protected by the Jewish forces. Those were the days when solemn pledges were not assumed to be repudiated, when a time-serving expediency called for the breach of compact ; and when amid the ruins of this mighty oity we behold the fhiihful woman safe under the Jewish flag, we feel that when the love of God prevails, honesty and tiuth will maintain enduring fellowship.

As many others of the sqme stamp and character, he subsisted chiefly bv hunting, cultivating the land but sparingly, and in this way raised a nnmerous family amid the wood*, in a half starved condition and comparative nakedness. But as the Susquehanna country rapidly increased in population, the hunting grounds of Wheatoo were encroached upon; so that a chance with his smooth bore, among the deer and bears, was greatly lessened. On this aeoount Wheaton removed from the Susquebannp country, Otsego county, to the more unsettled wilds of the Delaware, near a place yet known by the appellation of Wait. Settlement, wltfro game was more plontyv— The distance from where he made his home in the woods, through to the Susquehanna, was about fifteen miles, and was one continued wilderness at the time. Through these woods this almost aboriginal huqter was often compelled to pais to the Suaqoehanna for various necessities, and among the rest no small amount of whiskey, as he was of very intemperate habits. Qn one of these visits, In the midst of the summer, with his smooth bore always on bis shoulder, knife, hatchet, &c., in their proper places, he had nearly penetrated the distance, when he became weary, and having come to the summit of a ridge (some time in the afternoon) which overlooks the vide of the Susquehanna, he selected a convenient place in the shade, as it was hob for the rays from the West poured his sultiy influence through all tife forest, wberp he lay down to rest awhile amqng the leaves, after having first taken a drink from his pint bottle of green glass, and a mouthful! of cold Johnny oake, fhis .pocket. In this situation lie was soothed to drowsiness by the hum 6? insects and the monotony of the passing winds among the foliage around him, when 'he soon uriihrtrfly fell asleep with his gun folded in his arms. But after awhile he awoke from his sleep, and for a moment or two still lay in the same position as it vrilhoyt,storing, when he found that something had; taken place while he had slept, which had situated him somewhat diflferciifly frota tfiej manner in which he first went to sleep. On reflecting a momont, he found 'be -Wtoj entirely covered over, head and Jeari, with leaves and light stuff, occasioned, as he: now suspected, either by the sudden blowing of the wind, or by some wild animal, on which account he became a little disturbed in his mind, as he well knew the manners of the panther at that ?e»fop of the year, when it bunts to support its young, and will often cover its prey with leaves, and bring its whelps to the banquet. He therefore continued to He (wrfeetty still, aa when he first awoke; he thought ho heard the step of sortie fcind of heavpr animal near him ; and knowing that if it was a panther, the distance between himself and death could not be far, he made no attempt to rise up. Accordingly, as he suspected, after having lain a full minute, he now distinctly heard the retiring tread of the stealthy panther, of which hp had no doubt from the knowledge of the creature's ways. It had taken but a few steps, howevor, when it again stopped a longer time; still Wheaton continued his silent position, knowing his safety depended much on this. Soon the tread was again heard, farther and farther off, till it entirely died away in the distance—but he still lay motionless a few minutes longer, when he ventured gently, and cautiously, to raise his head and cast aiD, eye in the direction the creature, whatever it wa», had gone, but could sec nothing. He nowrosesgAj a spring, for his blood had  from his heart to the citrctf»itl4-, rtu back again, with uncommon velocity, alt thb wnile his ears listened to the steps qfj fihe animal on the leaves and brush. He now saw plainly the marks of design among the leaves, and that be had been covered OTer, and that the paWfc of some creaturo had done it. As he suspected the panther Was tno animal, he knew it would soon return to kill hiito, on winch account he inftdo Jiaste to deceive it, and to put himself in a situation Would rcspeotiuily Invito the attention of Country Merchant* to their Large and WelUHeleotei Stock of B P K IN (i HOODS.
