The man who teuderly loves his wife will have the greater pleasure in lessen ing her care and heightening her enjoy ment. The professions that he held out to engage her affections were all that language could express; his conduct that of the warmest attachment; can a woman, when she feels an incresed cause for that attachment, bear Inc sad re- verse?

THE SKELETON DANCE.

(From the German of Goethe. The warden looked out at the midnight
 hour,
 On the tonbs in the church yard aronnd; The moon it shone forth with .efuigem
 power,
 And lighted each distant monnd-- Then greve-stone on grave stone snccess-
 iyeiy rise, forth, And females and males in order come h flowing resplendant guise. Not moment is lost; to amusement they ngay circle their footsteps advance; Ahe rich with the poor, and the high with
 the low,
 But the manties impede the gay dance. To modesty little regard they pay, But carelessIy dof their cumbrons loads. And merrily toss their shrouds away. Now foot vie. with foot, and heel ohases heel,
 And demonish pranks arise; A click and a einck resonnds on the deal, hat music a.,ti measure sHppifes. The warden, astonished, now laughs aloud While ti.e tempter, the rogue, whispers
 into his ar,
 to! seize os a snow white shroudi' y lis thought and 'tis done, and with spec
 diest flight
 He retreats to tic sanCtiied doors; Still brightly the moon illumines the night And her beams OCT tho jewellers pours; Yet soon by degrees they steal away Their shrouds they resume, and desert the green;
 'ris still, where 'twas lately so gay. But one remains tripping and stumbling a.
 bout,
 And grabbing esch hole and each lair; Xet his friends must be e-'twefe shame
 fnl to doubt
 His mantle he snufFs Tn the air. The turret he shakes, bat shak es.it iii vain, tor useless his efforts while sacred and
 charmed, The crosses of metal remain. ; ct his shroud he must have, nor mo
 ment delay,
 Nor for thought has he time orpo,ver--- salld the Gothic festoons he soon forces
 way,
 And chambers from tower to tower. 5Now speedy misfortune the warder betides, As crawling, so long ged spiders are
 wont,
 From pillar to pillar he gIides. The warden turns pale, with alarm half
 dead,
 And curses his prize in his fears yp5t then. high soaring above his head, tic spears iron point It appoarsi Gou hides the pale moon her duninished
 llght--
 The clock thunders forth the first hour
 oi day,
 And the skeleton sank to the shades
 of night. Literary Gas.

Sta5at4f Haethod ot takulg q bear.- A Officer 0! GU. ar:.sy, C.; d;.t; iss ths snterior ot Louisiana, observed at q house where hehad put up forthe night several bear skins, and one of them par ticularly large. He entered into con- Tersation about them, and received lle following account of fine manner in which one of the bears had been taken.
 \ man had gone out to drive in his cattle, a few days before, mounted, but with no other weapon than COW whip. A COW whip consists of stiff round whip stock about three feet long, sup piled with T lash of twisted raw hide nearly thirty feet long. The lash is coiled up to be used on the arm, and is Thrown out with great violence by those who are expert with 1t.
 While armed with this whip and hunt ing up his cattle, the man came sudden ay upon a large bear. Thinking 10 have a bit of fun in tine lone woods, he gave -sthe bear whack with his whip. Bruen growled and made battle. tho horse eprang out of his reach with his rider. who gathered up his lash, closed again, aud gave anether whack and continued the contest in this way about an hour, she bear soreiy annoyed and enraeed. but unable to cope with the activity of the horse, who always sprane of after a throw of the whip. The bear at. Tempted several times to climb tree. but was as frequently brought down by a severe stroke from the formidable whip. At last, he seemed to be both cred and disposed to beg of, and now for the first time, 1t entered into the head of the man to drive him to the house, which was about six miles from the scene of action. He commenced by heading him and whacking him with she whip when pursuing any direction but the one he wished him to follow. which poor Bruen after some efforts 10 avoid lt- quietly took. finding no peace II any other way. Getting him at last into COW path leading to the house end Hogging him severely whenever he Jeff it, he got the bear 10 move moderately 'on the path, making but few efforts to leave It, and sure of a heavy whack whenever he did. in this way he drove him entil within hail of the house. when calling to another man who was thero D came out with his rife and shot him

feat and who corro6orated all that he had previously heard from his host.
 They spoke Of | as no great affair, and assured him that with a good horse and one of those whips, they would under take to drive bear any direction and any distance. They were of the best class of settlers, brave and enterpris ing, and without affecting to deceive.
