A large dog, raving with hydrapho-
bia, being followed by company of
boys, suddenly plunged down the cellar
steps Of the house of Mr.. ]. Cheesman,
No. ia, Lombardy-st. The lady of
the house with her infant child on her
arm, perceiving his approach rushed to
pantry, and had just time to close the
door upon herself and babe. The furi-
Gus animal made his way through The
kitchen, and cellar, swapping at every
thing that obstrdcted his course. The
lady in great CONSERVATION, looked
through small window, and from her
place o. refuge besought some of the
mob who had collected around the cell
lar door, TO come to her assistance, but
none had sufficient courage, until lad
about thirteen or fourteen years of age
appeared, and with bravery scarcely e.
qualled by the venerable Pullman when
he shot the wolf, descended the steps 10
pursuit of the ravid animal. The coura-
geous hoy found him in vault where he
had bitten the stone and plaster for the
space oftwo feet. Having made moose
in rope, he approached him, and at
the hazard of his life, cast it over his
neck.-Dragging the dog after him, he
made his way to the cellar steps, which
ne assembled amid the shouts of the APP
plauding mob ,and TO the great joy of the
liberated mother.-The lad completed
his triumph by browning the dog. Sew
eral times did the animal snap at him
and once bit him, but not so as TO draw
blood.

Recognizing an old Acquaintance
Two pedestrian travellers having very
harmoniously passed through Pennsyi-
vani arrived together at Philadelphia
and while sitting at tavern drinking,
one Of them suddenly darted his hand
into the breeches pocket of the other,
snatched his watch and money, and run
of. The feeced ira yeller, unable to
overtake his roguish companion, left
Philadelphia for this city, and enjoying
the Fourth Of July in manner rather
riotous, he was taken up, and put into
Bridewell when, 10 and behold, among
a hundred fellow prisoners, he recog-
Bized the l6ief his companion through
Pennsylvania, who had been also inn
prispned for similar disorders. He
gave the alarm, and upon searching, his
watch was found and thus, by being
imprisoned himself, he recovered the
most valuable part Ofhis stolen proper.

From tie Londos Nsw Monthly Magazine.
WRITTEN IN EGYPT.
Parent of nasions Arts proud sire!
Upon thy pyramid stand,
While the sun filings his beams Of fire
Over thy deselate land.
Flow, tar as the strand eye can scan,
A sandy ocean sleeps around;
Nothing speaks out OF living man
Save me and mine--there is no sound
Ofaught amid tais solitude
Ts break the silence OF the waste,
And fancy paints in mournful mood.
Wild visions ofth' ideal past.
For now the mind IS left to guess
How fair was once this wilderness:
As death upon some lovely frame
Tells life once breathe1 in beauty there,
That tn extinguisned taPer's fame
Once fiash'd its radiance on the air;
Thus shadowing forth from their decay
The glories Of peri,h'd day.
The crown that gehnm'd thy awful brow,
Thine arts, thy Power-where are they now!
No wandering Arab can be seen
Within this horizons sweep,
And am living mid the scene
Where the tired Pharaohs Sleep
And am trampling Ger the dead,
Full fifty ages vanished;-
Those vanish d dead-but who were thew.
They pass'd and left no name:
HAPPY ambition in their day
Had never shewn the toiling way
To cheat pUsterity with fame.
What ruin'd cities may be hid
Around this lofty pyramid,
Whelm'd in the desert sand,
In whose long streets the gazer's eye
Once saw, amid antiquity,
This wonder of mis- land;
Yet knew not who had rsar'd it high,
But guessed as erringly as |.
Yet the same heaven look d out in light
Upon the toiling busy sight,
Gprsaring then its glorious brow,
At nsrning'sdawn, as it does now.
O.! land of that famed sound which hung
Round Memnon's mystic shrine!
] gaze upon thy ruins, flung
Like wrecks upon The brine.

Amid thy Red Sea lost,
fNecho aud his swarths host,
TIL avengers of their destiny
In long after age.
Ofgiant rhebes that new dehes
The waste Of years and human rage
Beneath these burning skies.
Her very wrecksare mighty still; skill.
They scorn our strength and mock our
Here, m the light of beauty's eye,
That charm'd him with its witchery,
The Roman lost world.
Here Cesar's lightly rival died,
And, one poor foot OF earth denied,
With scorn was headless huTl'd;
And he who captive ed king and throne,
Had not grave to call his own.
Mark, We who sail ambitions tide,
The bitter sum of human pride.
But wherefore call up ancient years,
Enough within my view appears
To minister to thought;
The desolasion reigning here
speaks to the mind in accents clear,
Things schoolmen never taught.
Behold, the horizons self is clad
In a strange hue and livery sad,
Like tn impressive calm that reigns
Mournful DER earthquake-river plains,
ThatIns minds eye can see full well;
But language has no skill to tell;
Seeming TO grieve the mighty day
Gifts pass'd glories rent away;
Even their very record flown,
Unwrit, unre gister'o unknown.
The camel waits his lord below,
The turhan'd guides my musing break;
4 must sway-yet ere go,
One parting glance around me take,
Then bury mid Moslem crew,
This pyramids majestic view
Fame, tomb, what'er thou srt-adieu!
