Panther Turned Shop Keeper. The
last week, a large Puma, or Panther,
belonging other untameable crea-
lures to the Menageric in the Bowery,
escaped from his cage and sprang into
the street--no person in the passage-way
feeling disposed at that moment either
to obstruct his progress, or TO sieze him
by the tail. Being thus freed from bolts
and bars. the panther folt disposed to
make the best use Of his liberty, Tho
people screamed aud scattered in all
directions, so that he had the sidewalk
to himself, and he bounded along up the
street in swift and interesting manner.
But although he drove every thing from
his path, scattering the people before
him as wolf would a flock of shecp,
yet lie did not find the travelling so
pleasant on the pavement, ms the paths

and after nearly slipping up few times
he suddenly changed lis mind. aud re-

NOVEL AND SINGULAR OCCUR
RENCE. n

From friend, lately returned from
Cincinnati, we have learned the follow
ing particulars of, perhaps, one Of the
most remarkable occurrences that ever
took place in this country. One of the
clerks in large wholesale establish
ment in Cincinnati. was awakened at
night by noise in the upper story, and
proceeded to ascertain the cause. There
was an open hatchway from the garret
to the cellar, and down this he heard
something fall. Supposing that some
goods had been thrown down, he awoke
companion, and they watched the prem
ises so that no one went out until morn
ing, when the cellar was examined, and
,he body of man found quite dead,
and very much disfgured; Iie was armed
with knife and pistols, and disguised in
wig and false whiskers. Depending
from tho hatchway in the third or fourth
story, was a cord fastened by n hook,
from which the thief had evidently fallen
in the attempt to descend. s~
The man was buried; but the next
day the Mayor ordered him to be taken
UP and pubIicly exposed, IN hopes that
some one would recognize him, and per-
haps lead to the detection of accompli-
ces' He was accordingly laid in an en-
gine house for that purpose, but his face
had been so much dis6gured by the fall,
that the police dcspaired Of having him
recognized, until gentleman stopped
to look at the body, who said that he
believed he recognized him, but was un-
willing to communicate his suspicious

RELIGION WHAT is ITa


'Tis RSt 60 60 to church 70 dss-
To look devout and seem to pray,
Aod ere tos.orrow's sun 60 down.
Be dealing scsRdai through the town.
Not every sanetimonious face.
Denotes the certain reign ofgrace;
A phiz that seems to scowl al sin,
Of wells hypocrisy within.
,Tis not to mark our days walk,
Or Of our own good deeds to talk,
And to practice secret crime,
To misspead aud to waste our time.
'Tis not for sects or creeds TO fight.
And to call zeal the rule Of right,
When all we wish is, at the least,
To see our church excel the rest.
'Tis not TO wear the christian dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
Then treat with scorn tho virtuous poor,
And bar against them close the door.
All, no religion means not this
lite fruits far sweeter, fairer is,
In heayenly soil, alone it thrives,
And more than blossoms whero il lives.
Religion It's the rule OF life,
The bonds Of love, the bane of strife;
Its precepts his-"To others do,
As you would have them do to you"
IT grieves TO hear an i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to sport;
or others deeds it speaks no III,
But tells of good, or else is still.
And does religion this impart?
Fain would my soul iis influence court.
Oh haste the blssful, joyous day,
When all the earth shall own its sway.

To watch her while she wreathed the flow.
ere.
The youth was skilled in Paintings art,
But ne'er had studied woman's brow,
Nor knew the colouring, which the heart
Can shed Ger natures charms till now.
Chorus -Blest be Love, to whom we owe
All that is fair and bright below.
Ills hand had pictured many rose,
And sketch'd the rays that light the brook
But what were these, or what were those,
TO womans blush, to womsh's look!
'Oh If such magic power there be,
This, this.'he cried, "is all my pray'r:
10 paint that living light I see,
And fix the soul that sparkles there"
His prayer as soon as breath'd. was heard
His pallet, topch'd by Love, grew warm.
And Painting. saw her hues trsnsferr'd,
From lifeiess flowers to woman's form.
Still as from tint to tint he stole,
The fair design shone but the more,
And there was now life, a soul,
Where only colours glow'd before.
Then fret carnations learned to speak,
And lilies into lifo were brought;
While nnntling on the maiden's check,
Young roses kindled into thought.
Then hyacinths their darkest dies
Upon the locks Of Beauty threw,
And violets transformed to eyes,
Enshrined soul within their blue.
