tsA LroN SCARED BY DREAMER."-lt
happened on one occasion, short time
previous to our arrival among this tribe,
that a young Boschman, ia hunting a
troop of zebras, had just succeeded in
wonuding one ofthem with an arrow, when
a lion sprang out Of an opposite thicket
aad showed decided inclination TO dispute
the prize The Boschman luckily being
near tree, dropped his arms, and climbed
for safety without moments delay, to an
upper branch. The lion having allowed
the wounded zebra to pass on, now turned
hts whole attention towards the perching
huntsman, and walking round and round
the tree, he now and then growled, and
looked up at him rather unpleasantiy. At
iensth the lion lay down at the foot OF the
tree, and kept watch all night. Towards
morning, sleep overcame the hitherto
wakeful Boschman, and he dreamed that
nc had fallen into the lioa's 's.mouth Start
Jag FROM the effects Of his dream he lost
his seat, and tambling from the high
branch on which he had been reposing,
came squash down upon the lions ribs
The monster not being at all prepared for
assaults of this description, boited off with
a tremendous roar, and the Boschman lost
no time in taking to his heels in the oppo-
site direction, scarcely believing the evl-
dence Of his senses.-CSir ]. Alexander's
