When Kentucky was an infant State, and before the foot of civilization hail trodden her giant forests, there lived upon the branch of the Green 1 liver ah old hunter by the name of John Slater. His hut was upon the southern bank of the stream, and save n s-inall patch of some dozen acres, that had been cleared by his own axe, he was shut up by dense forests. Slater had two chil dren at home with him—two sons, Philip • and Daniel—the former fourteen and the latter twelve years of ago. The elder chil- tdrcn had gone South. His wife was with [ him, but she had been for several years an I almost helpless cripple from theetl'ect of sc- | vere rheumatism. It was early in the Spring, and the old hunter had jnst returned from Columbia, where ho had been to carry the produce of the Winter's labor, which consisted mostly \ furs. Ilo had received ot furs, lie had received quite a sum ot I money, and had brought it home with him. The old man had several years been accu-1'««•• consequence might be fatal. But civilization was grailu-1 Philip Slater found himself strong in heart, So did I . If we shonld tell father what [ we think, he would only\ laugh at us,-and | tell us we were perfect scare-crows.* 1 _ * \ Cut we can watch them.\ ! \ Yes, we will watch 'em, bnt do not Jet them know it.\ The boys held some further consultation, and then going to the dog-house, they set the small door back, so that the hounds might spring forth if they were wanted. If they had desired to speak with their father, about their suspicions,- they had no chance, for the strangers sat close by him all the evening.' At length, however, the old man signified his intention of retiring, and arose to go out of doors, to see t o the state of affairs with out. The three followed him. but they did not take their weapons ! The old lady was asleep in the chair. \Now whispered Thilip, \let's take two of father's rifles up t o our bed—we may want them. We are a s good as men with the rifle. Da possil sne then in father aim the strangers returned, they had resumed their seats. The hunter's cabin was divided into two apartments o n the ground floor, one of them in the end of the building, being the' old man's sleeping room, and the other room in which the company at present sat. Overhead there was a sort of scaffolding, reaching only half way over the large room below it, and in the opposite end o f the building from,the little sleeping apartment of the hunter. A rough ladder led up to the scaffold, and on .it close up to the gable end was the boy's l>ed. There was no par tition at the edge of this scaffolding, but it was all open to the room below. Spare bedding was spread upon the .ilvr of the kitchen for the three travellers, and after even-thing had been arranged for their comfort, the bojs went up to their b,ed, and. the old man retired to his little room. The two boys thought not of sleep, or if they did. it was only to avoid it. Half an hour had parsed aw.v , and they could hear their father snore. Then they heard a move- ing f take care of there:' I ' But wc must kill them ail,' said another of.the villains. .,. 1 Yes,' returned the speaker, ' but the stage, in Hancock county, Illinois, it con gratulates the '-Saints\ on their abundant . crops, the rapid augmentation of their niir.i- ypung ones ftr*t ; they will make a noise [ hers, and the progress of the fortifications Another Practical Lesson.

The 1 first impulse of little Daniel, as lie heard that his poor dogs were to be poisoned, was to cry out, but a Rv :dden pressure from the hand of his brother kept him silent. At the end of the boy's bed there was a dark window, or small square door, and as it was directly over the dog's house, Philip resolved to go down and save the dogs.— The undertaking was a dangerous one, for the least noi.-e would arouse tiie villains— nmlatiiig money, for civ ally approaching him, and ho meant that his children should start on fair'tenns with the worht One evening, just as the family were sit ting down to their frugal .supper, they were attracted by a sudden howling of the dogs, and as Slater went to the door to see what w,as tho matter, ho saw three men approach ing his hut. He quickly quieted the dogs and the strangers approached the door. They asked for something to eat, and also for lodgings for the night. John Slater was not the man to refuse a request of that kind, and he ask ed the strangers in. They sat their rifles behind tho door, unslung \their packs, and room was made for them at the supper ta ble. They represented themselves as trav- niid iio determined upon the trial. His fa- t'. or's life nrght be.hi hi- hands. The tho't was a tower of strength in itself Philip opened the window without mov ing from the bed. and i t swung upon its leathern hinges without noise. Then he threw off tho sheet and tied the corner of it to tho staple by which the window was hooked. Thesheet was then lowered on tho outside, and carefully the brave boy let him self out upon it. lie enjoined his brother not to move, and then slid noiselessly down. The hounds had just found the meat, and they dicw back at their young master's beck, and Philip gathered the flesh all up. He easily quieted the faithful bnttes, and 1 then he quickly tied the meat up in the I sheet. There was a litrht ladder standin*' ellers bound farther west, intending to cross \car the dog-house, and setting this up a- thc Mississippi in search of a settlement Tho now comers were far from being ngrccabloor prepossessing in their looks, but Slater took no notice of tho circumstance, gainst the building, Philip made his way back to his little loft, and when once safely thero he pulled the sheet in after him. The strangers had not. been aroused, and for ho was not one to doubt any man. Tho 1 ^-\th a beating heart the boy thanked God.

' Noble, noble boys !' ho uttered, as he clasped them to his bosom. ' God bless you for this. 0, I dreamed not that you had such hearts.' For a long time the old m>>:i gazed on his hoys in silence, while tears of love and gratitude rolled down his cheeks, and his whole face was lighted up with the most joyous, holy pride. Long before daylight Philip mounted the horse and started for the nearest settlement and early in the forenoon the ollicers of jus tice had the two wounded men in charge, while the body of the third was removed. They were recognized by tho officers :ts cri minals of no.toriety, but this was thuir last adventure, for the justice they had so long outraged fell upon them and stopped them in their career.

Most of the emigrant converts are from tho mid dling classes—artisans, mechanics, and peo ple possessed of considerable property.— They arc organized, as soon as they arrive, into one of tho most compact and efficient despotisms ever known—completely subject to the central power, and imbued with the spirit of enthusiastic obedience. Every man capable of bearing arms is enrolled in the militia, and the apostles, prophets, patriarchs, bishops and elders of the church mingle military ollices with thoir sacerdotal. They are understood to have now on foot a thoroughly drilled army of 8,000—but little short of \the entire regular army of the llhited States. While becoming thus formidable without, their inward corruption and rottenness are rapidly on the increase. Like all evil men they have waxed worse and worse since the time the blasphemous lies of Joseph Smith commenced their flow, Doctrinesand prac tices once concealed from general knowl edge, and restricted to the elders and lead ers, have now become corner-stones of their edifice; anil it is difficult to foresee where | their shameless profligacy and blasphemy | will end. j If wc do not yet find trouble from this I soin .-e. it will be very strange.

There was a beautiful young lady once, who lived in this city, down in Greenwich street, when that present Dutch settlement was the fashionable part of the town, and the street where great merchants lived. This young lady was an only daughter. She was about seventeen years old, and was very accomplished, and had a great, many admirers. One of those admirer:; she liked very much. His tianiu was Andrew.

The man who cannot laugh, is not only fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils, bnt his whole lifo is already a treason mid a stratagem.— Car- lyle.
