4 Life sared by Dog.-We have. to add to the many instances on record, of the latin fulness and sagacity of this noble animal, one of striking character which occurred during the past week, in the vicinity of this place. On Friday evening last, sometime after dark, a worthy citizen of the adjacent township of Alrace, who loves an ingle side and a ritp Of comfort as well as Tam O 'Shanter himseff!but who had not the good fortune of Tam iu pos sessing grey mare Meg,' was ploddng homeward his weary way, little anticipating the danger.he was about to incur. The cla chan yill had made him canfy.' He stacher- ed whyles.' In short our respectable neighbor was as drunk as lord, and had not proceeded above half mile from town, before he stretch ed himself across the middle of the turnpike road. tO sleep of the fumes of aqua vit@.- While he lay in this dangerous position. the Pottsville stage approached, and must intalli- ply have passed over his body, had it not been for the ssgacity ofa large house dog, which had accompanied his master, and was then watchiOg over his slumhers. As the stage drew. nigh.the dog flew furiously al the horses, and by his barkings turned the leaders from the path. and caused the vehicle to pass harm. lessly by the body ofthe sleeping man. The stage driver. perceiying an object lying in the road which he took fora human being, gave notice of the circumstance directly when he reached town, when some good Samaritan undertook the kind office ofseeking the slum- berer out. and saving him from the dangers oi his position. They found him still asleep up- on the road. and his faithful dog stretched close beside his body Reading (Pa.) Joara- Gl, Dec. 28.

POETRY.
THE BRIDEMAID.
BY MISS A. STRICKLAND.

BY MISS A. STRICKLAND. The bridal's gliIiering pageaniry is Der; Dancing is weary; aad the joy Ot songs Tired with iIs own wild sweetness, dies away; Music is hush'd; the dOwer arcaded halls 1 Cease tO prOong the bursts ot iesitve giee' IA ii'} For luxury itself is satate, And pleasures drowsy train demands repose' But seeI inc dawU's grey sreaks are stealing thrO' The high.arch'd windows of a stately room, Shedding pale light on the paler brow or one, who with a broken heart hath s'o'e~ From ihe gay reveIs of that j0cund nIght' To vent, nnpiiied, agony alone. In fearful iGnmoblity of form Aud feature sis she in her blank despair. Like the cold scOptured nsonFner on tomn' When silent marble wears the touching gu'se Of womans wOe--hnt oh! not woe like hersS Whose every pulse doth Vibra'e with n paDg Too stern for tears. Her dark, 6Aa.ed eye Is fix'd on things she sees not nor regasds. Her silent lute lies near her--iis chords no more Shall wake responsive to her sk'ltII touch; For he who praised its sounds, and loved to see Her white hands busy with it's murmurng strings, Hath made all music discOFd 10 her soul. Gems that a princess nigh, be proud to wear Are sparkling in her sight; but what. Hsas Are gems to her who hath beheA the hopes The cherish'd hopes of life lereyer crush'd, Aud whitening in the dust like ypn gay wreath < Which slle hath in hes bltter anguish torn From the sad brow il lately garlanded,
 And bade her maidens chang it on the tomb!'' Invidious eyes were on her when she stood
 Before the altar with the bridal train
 or her false love-ay! those who coldly scann'd Her looks and bearing, eager to detect [pride The struggling bangs which won,an's trembling In that dread hour had nerved her to conceal Beneath the naughty sembIance of distiain Or calm indifference, when the man she loved Plighied his perjur'd vows to other ears A knell to hers, al which life's rOseate tints Fled back affrighted, never to return.
 To her pale cheek, whose marble hue betray'd The fearless bridesmaids secret agony.
 The task is Der, and she is now alone, Musng o'er memory of hopes that were,
 But are for her no ionger-vanish'd dreams Are they for which she mourns. Shed mourn no Could she behold hins as he really is, lmore Strippd of the veil in which too partial love Hath dressed its idol. She would turn away, And marvel that a heart so pure as hers Had wasted tenderness on one like him.

The Lady's Book.

THE December No. of the Lady's Book is -l now ready for delivery to subscrlbers.- It completes the 7th volume.
 The contents it is believed are not less in- teresiing than usual, and the embellishments are even superior. Among the latter is an eF- grared title page, for the present volume, which for novelty and brilliance of design. and excellence of execution, may claim, and will receive. universal admiration. It is in fact a most beautiful and unique specimen of the Art, and gives promise of great skill and abil- ity in Mr. White, the gentleman by whom it was engraved.
 The January number of the Lady's Book will be entirely made ap of original matter, con- tributed by the best writers in the copntfy.- Miss Leslie has furnished one of her inmita' ble stories. which for keen observation. caus- tic humor, and useful satire, is not inferior to the celebrated Mrs. Washington Potts. The present story is called Lourd Louel i; the scene is laid in Massachusetts, partly in Boston, and partly at the watering place of Nahant and our eastern friends may expect to find them selves handsomely dealt with. We have also an admirable tale entitled The Catholic, con tributtd by Mrs. Caroline Lee Hertz, author of the Prize Tragedy De Lara, and the suc- cessful novel of Lovel's Folly. In addition to these. the January number will contain Va rety of original prose compositions, prepared by the most celebrated of our native writers, and suitable proportion of original and ex- cellent poetry.
 As the January number is intended to be fair specimen of the volume to which it will form the initial number, we invite public at- tention to it's appearance and contents, satisf- ed that in both respects it may fairly claim precedence over any similar publication.
 Persons wishing to subscribe will forward their address tpost paid) subscription in ad- vance as soon as convenient to
