SONNET.

How still, how calm and beautiful, Champlain,
Are thy deep waters when the pale moon beams
Dance lightly DER ihv surface, till it seems
Like one vast sheet of silver, without Stain
More bright than even poets brightest dreams.
Or childhood hopes, when all around is bright,
And not n thought lntrudes of manhoods night.
Thy shores how still, how peaceful are they now
From what they have been in years gone by,
Where savage man, with anger flashing eye
And stern revenge depicted on his brow,
Hath rals'd upon thy banks the piercing cry
The shrilI clear war-hoop that might even chill
The bodest heart and it with sorrow fill.

We see many horses that have a dis
ease in the gambrel joint called spavin.-
1t stfiens the jont and renders them lame
until, after having been in motion IA little
while, the parts become warm and the lame
ness ceases. There are several kinds of spa
vim, but We seldom see any attempts to cure
them by any operation, except occasionally
applying some Thing externally, which is Of
little use. We suppose one reason why no
thing more is done is this: the disease does
no, wholly unfit the horse for work, and
therefore he is either sold cheap for that pur-
pose, or kept and put to the ordinary drudg-
cry of farm. We have seen species OF
SPAWN that consisted in what the surgeons
call varicOse vein, that is, the coasts of the
vein in that part become stretched, weak and
fabby, and of course bulge out and form a
swelling. This can be cured only by cut
ting in and tying up the vein below, SO as
to prevent any blood from passing through
that portion. This operation is sometimes
liable to cause inflammation of the vein, or
veins, in that part which, is dangerous.
Another kind Of spawn is caused by a
sack forming or enlarging in the part filled
with synoUie or joint water, and also with a
thicker and morc gela,nous kind of fluid. -
This may lie cured by opening The sack, and
sometimes by taking them gu, entirely
This operation is oftentimes attended with
Inflammation, which is liable to cause per-
manent stiffness of the joints. Another spe-
cies of SPAWN is caused by the growth or
projection of small bone, called by surg
cons an exos,osis,' and by farrlers u splin-
ter. We have never seen this cured, ard
have always considered it incurable; but IL

An Elephant Chm rIner.

Capt. l., now commanding at Pa.
denny, went lately on, elephant shooting,
and when not more than twelve yards
from large tusked one, he coolly took
aim and fred at him, intending to send
the ball through his head but in place OF
doing so, he only wounded him in the
neck, which so enraged the enormous an
imal, tina, in the most furious manner pos.
sible, he chased Captain L.. who hay
ing gone up so very near as to be almost,
| may say, within the reach of his trunk,
had no hope whatever of being able to es-
cape. While the Capt, was in this crili-
cal situation. a kandyan, who had for
some time kept close upon his heels,
threw himself between him and the ele-
phant, pronounced rapidly but distinctly,
a few words, and thus stopped the enra-
ged animal coming on in full career; he
then held forward his arms and uttered
some other words, in very loud tone of
voice, the elephant turned round and fled,
trumpeting most harshly and frighl(ully,
breaking and crushing trees and every
thing before him Let the reader only
imagine the few yards of ground covered
with brushwood, that separated Capt. l.
-, from an animal, which, in his prog
ress through the jungle, proslrales the
smaller trees and bushes as easily as |
would standing corn; the brief space of
time allowed, say couple of seconds !;
and the whole scene that took place, and
he must be lost in amazement.
Upon Capt. L inquiry what had
become of The man who had in so won
derlul manner saved his life, he was told
that he had gone oil in the Jungle the mo-
ment after he had driven away ,lhe ele-
plant; and upon his insisting upon know
ing who he was as he was anxious 10 do
something for HIM, he was them inform
ed that he was one of their most power
full charmers and that il was very UNI
certain whether he, Capt. l., would
ever be able to find him, or TO induce
him, whatever might be the recompense
held out, TO come TO him. TrareiS in

Suffice.

The following horrible case is from the
Madras Athenenum "a Bramin died
on the 10Th, leaving a wife, aged II, and
other relatives but no children. On the next
morning the woman declared her intention
to sacrifice herself upon the funeral pile
of her husband, and wealthy native hay
having offered TO pay the expenses, pre-
parations were made on grand scale
in secluded spot at about two miles
from Laseker.-A spot was chosen in
the dry bed Of nullah, and four large
posts, eight feet high, were fixed, on
which a sort Of scaflold of dry wood was
formed, and underneath il were layers Of
the driest wood and cow-dung sun-dried,
and other innamable materials, so as TO
burn briskly when set fire to.--I'he pre-
partitions were completed about ~ o.
clock soon after which the procession SET
out. One of the deceased's relatives wen,
first, bearing small vessel containing
fire, and was followed by the woman and
others Of the family, and in The rear came
the corpse borne by five men on char
poy. Considering the preparations which
had been made, comparatively few natives
followed the procession, which moved at
a slow pace. On reaching the pile, the
sacrifice appeared to view The prepare
tons made with look Of exul,a,ion. and
took her seat by the dead body, which
had been laid on the ground at little
distance where she remained upwards Of

on the scailold, over which n consdcra
BILE quantity Of dry straw was strewn
and oil and ghee poured, the woman hav,
ing walked thrice around the pile, noun
ted il apparently with some reipclence by
clambering up on the outside, apidst the
shouts Of the spectators. SbeS,ook her
seat on the right, and after short cere-
mony, putting her arm under i,;p neck OF
the corpse, with much composurc ,srea,h.
ed herself beside the body, ;fJusling the
hair of her head and her clothes. A con-
siderable quantity of wood was now put,
over what may now call the two bodies,
when tremendous shout of applause rent
the air, with clapping of hands and other
tokens of satisfaction. About quarter
Of an hour was now spent in requisite
preparations when torches were applied
to different parts Of the pile. No sooner
did the flame arise than the unfortunate
victim, unable to endure the suiTocalion
and pain, struggled vigorously 10 eytri-
cate herself from the pile, and as the
flames waxed more fierce her exer,ions
became almost supernatural, I'LL at last
with tremendous spring she landed on
her feet about ten PAGES from the pile,
and cntrcated the bystanders to save her
from what she felt was too great trial.
The Brahmins, however, insisted on her
re-mounting the pile and undergoing
what was her own choice.-She refused,
and was Instantly cut down with sword
and thrown upon the flaming pile. 1t SO
happened that several Mussulmans of the
Aleegole were present, and, abhorring the
acts of the Brahmns, COM
menced upbraiding them; words and
abuse ensued, till the Muslems, enraged,
drew their swords, cut down a Hoozoo-
riah and wounded several. The multi
tude Of spectators soon dispersed, and
thus was finished a ceremony at which
every feeling mind must revolt with dis

A IEXlAN HERO.

The Cincinnati Mercury tells the fol-
lowing amusing story of which faceti-
Gus commedan named jim Wills, who
played IN that city some years ago, was
the hero. He was, says the Mercury a
queer compound of human nature--a man
who could with ease make others laugh,
but seldom ever laughed himself---a mel
ancholy man through life. which caused
him to "shuflle off his mortal coil" ere
half his race was run.
About the time the Texas excitement
ran SO high in the United States, jim
Wills was in Pittsburg, in that situation
so common TO play actors, viz: fiat
broke. standing one day on the wharf,
with serious vissage, planning how be
should get down the river without money,
when he heard drum and fife. On
looking around he saw a company of reck-
less looking half uniformed soldiers about
embarking for New Orleans, bearing a
Texan banner. A thought struck him.
Next day he sent his trunk on board the
first boat to start, and just as the Captain
was tapping the bell for the last time,
Wells stepped on borad and dragged his
trunks into a certain unoccupied state
room, and took from his theatrical ward
robe soldier coat with buff brcas,
and three rows of buttons, chepeau
with an immence plume, red sash, and
pair of false whiskers. BY the time the
boat had got fairly under way, jim was
fully equipped, with his stage sword
gracefully hanging at his side. Drawing
on his white gloves, he hesi,a,ed mo,
ment, but relying on his peculiar powers,
he opened the door, gave the usual s,oop,
aud walked into the cabin, which was
filled with passengers. In moment all
eyes were directed towards him, bu,
he walked up to the bar and drank q
glass Of brandy and water. In the mean
time all was hustle and confusion 10 find
out who the officer was. A general rush
was made for the register, bu. he had no,
yet put down his name. Tie Captain
was consulted, bu, he knew nothing. Al
length. however, feeling liule curiosity
himself, he walked up to Jim and politely
bowling TO him, said, Sir

chapeau la miiitme.
