AN ELEPHANT FIGHT.


The following description OF an elephant
fight is extracted from "A Picturesque
View along the Ganges, by Lieut.. Col. de
Forest. 'An excellent breakfast (says Col.
Fly awaited our arrival; after which we
passed on to spacious verandah on the
cast side of the palace, which looked down
into the area prepared for the combat; the
latter was nearly surrounded by paling or
bamboo, eighteen or twenty feet high.
Soon after we were seated the crowd were
admitted, and presently filled the circum-
ference of the Theatre below US. Two very
large war elephants were brought forw trd
from opposite sides, each proceeded by its
favorite female, whose presence, it appears,
is necessary to arouse the anger OF these
noble animals. The conflict of this part,
however, gave little sport, one OF them ap-
pearlng very shy, and inferior to his oppo'
nent in strength; they were therefore yitn-
drawn. Another pair now advanced, led
as the first. These approached with SOW
and majestic step,' until they caught
glimpse of each other; both OF them raising
their trunks, and utterng shrill cry, rush.

together, presenting their heads to receive
the first shock. 1t was awfully grand. The
animals, thus stopped in the first careef,
still continued to Strive by every possible.
exertion of strength and art to force their
adversary back, or to attack him in the flank.
Their heads, however, still were firmly
pressed together, and they alternately ralli-
ed. One was of ratEer smaller size. than his
antagonist, but he appeared TO make up for
this deficiency by his greater spirit. He
retreated little for the moment, but 1t was
only to renew the charge with increased
rage: again they met, the same tremendous
conclusion took place, and these attacks
were several times repeated, until IN last
and most desperate one, tooth OF the
smallest elephant was broken IN two with
lond crash. Still he was not desplrited; and
would have persevered longer in the contest;
but beinp now so decidedly infcxior to his
adversary. the fire works were thrown be-
tween them which terminated the combat.
| 'rhc noble animals Kept for this sport are
unfit for any other purpose, and are almost
unpoyernable to the mahauts. They are
fed, to bring them to this furious state, on
| high sea soned food and spices, which in
manner intoxicates them, and renders them
furieus beyond description. The mahauts,
or conductors, sit upon the elephants backs
during the contest, and too often fall vic-
tins to the mad rage of their own animal or
the opposite foe. There is large pal
mattrass strongly fxesl on the back, and
covered over with coarse netting OF thick
white cettm rope; to this the mahaut clinss,

love to wander in the grave yard.--It is
pleasant to depart from the troubles OF life,
to retired and still place, which is endear-
ed by the memory of departed friends, and
solemnize our minds in rejecting on the
times we have spent with them, and the time

We forget in such situation, the passions
and distractions, we every where else expe-

like an hour devoted TO peace, and sacred

with the dead. We cannot embrace their
bones, and kiss their ashes. The ruin OF
mortality is loathsome. But our spirits can

THE wANpERER TO HER CHILD.

The sun is sunk, and daylight gone,
AS over the moor we journey oni
lThe SHOWS are lying all deep and chill;
The clouds are gath'ring round the hill
The winds they gre moaning through the air,
And backwards tossing the branches bare;
Oh hush, oh hush, thy piteous cry,
And shut in repose thy little eye;
BE still my babe, and sleep!
Though cold the SHOWS, and though cold the air,
That sweeps o'er the frozen mountains bare,
More cold was that ungenerous mind,
Which holiest VOWS were vain to bind
Which stole my peace, and, running me,
Left Inc to roam the world with thee:
oh hush, and oh hush, thy piercing cry,
And will sing you lullaby;
/, BE still, my babe, and sleep.
Thy father he cares not fer his child;
Thou art forsaken, and rcviled;
From town to town, q dreary way,
We wander along from day to day,
Begging crust Of the poor mans bread,
And laying us downin some humble shed;
All but thy self look in scorn on me,
And, OH / shall ever be kind to thee;
Be hush'd, my babe, and sleep.
All once, sweet babe, had home,
Nor dreamt then that thus should roam;
BY a pleasant village our cottage stood,
And my parents were pious, and kind, and good;
They had no comfort but me on earth,
For was the light of their lonely hearth;
Till there came to our door in cruelty gay,
Thy father, who stole their treasure away;
Be hush'd, my babe, and sleep!
The old man broke his heart and died,
And soon my mother was laid by his side;
was living in weakness when these they told,
And thou vert an infant three days old;
prayed for death, and wished to die,
Till heard thy pitiful, tender cry,
And then pettioned for life, to be
In thy helpless years mother to thee;
BE hush'd, my babe, and sleep!
Aheavcn may yet smile for US,
And the heart which could neglect us thus,
May feel the misery we have felt,
And share the sorrow itself hath dealt;
We soon shall be over these barren ways,
And will warm thee, love, at the blaze,
Where, mid yon trees, on the upland moor, :
Stands kindly open the peasants door;
Then hush, my babe, and sleep!

Madras is the Capital of the British pos
sessions in the Deccan and South of India
1t is 1850 miles from Calcutta and no from
Bombay. The coast on which it stands is
lashed by a raging surf, above which the city
appears to great advantage, surrounded by
the charming verdnre> of groves of palm.
The edihces are colonnaded, and from the
fine shell mortar with which they are plas-
tered and polished, have the appearance of
marble.
Nearly all the civilians here live in gar
den houses, which gives the town a less
splendid appearance than that of Calcutta;
but art has rendered beautiful the natural
barrenness which surrounds it, and fine
roads, interspersed with trees, run through
it in every direction. The inhabitants of
Madras live in much the same way as those
of Calcutta, but provisions of every de-
scripton arc dearer here; and the Society
though less numerous, is more agreeable.
Fhc population of the black town of Mad
ras and Fort St. George, is about $50, 900.
The accounts are kept here in star pagodas,
fanams and cash; while in Calcutta the cur.
rency is IN rupees, nnnss and pice; so cash
make fanam, y fanams rupee, and 81
rupees pagoda, the value of which is eight
shillings sterling, or about a dollar and
three quarters. In Calcutta - pice make

Sc cents. This presidency Indirectly con-

AFFECTION AND RESOLUTION.

The father of the celebrated Thomas
a'Becket was an Englshman of London,
who followed the fortunes Of the Norman
Crusaders, and was taken prisoner and
made slave by the Saracens. .Untortu-
nate and despised as he was, he gained what

the Norman Chiefs, in all their glory, rare
ly gained in England, the love OF a woman
of the country. This woman was no other
than the daughter of the chief to whom Gill
bert was captive. Br her assistance he
made his escape, and repassed the seabut his
dcliverer unable to live without him, for
sock her fathers house to go in search OF
him. She knew but two words ineligible
to the inhabitants Of the West,-London
and Gilbert. By the aid Of the former, she
embarked for England in vessel carrying
traders and pilgrims; by that of the latter,
running from street to street repeating "Gil-
bert! Gilbert!'' to the astonished crowd that
gathered around her, she found the man
whom she loved. Gilbert a'Becket, after
taking the advice of several Bishops on this
miraculous incident, had his mistress baP-
tized, changed her Saracen name into Ma
tilda, and married her. The singularity of
this marriage made it much talked OF, and
it became the subject of several popular ro-
mances, two of which, still extant lin jamie
sons popular songs) contain very affecting
details. In the year 1119, Gilbert and Ma
tllda, had a son, who was Called homas
Beckett, according, to the mode OF double
names introduced into England by the Nor
mans. Such was the romantic origin OF. a
man destined to run almost a romantic Ca
reer." This anecdote is from 'Thierry's
History of the Conquest of England BY the
Normans, "a valuable and interesting
work, just translated into English in very
able manner.

We hate some persons because we do not
know them; and we will not know them be-
cause we hate them. Those friendships
that succeed to such aversions are usually
firm, for those qualities must be sterling that
could not only gain our hearts, but conquer
our prejudices. But the misfortune is, that
we carry these prejudices into things far
more serious than our friendship. Thus
there are truths which some men despise,
because they have not examined, and which
they will not examine because they despise.
There is one single instance on record,
where this kind of prejudice was overcome
by mracle-bat the age of miracles is past
