CANINE SAGAcITY.-A friend informs
us that while walking on the rail road
bridge near Rothey's Point, few days
since, he was interested in watching the
movements of three dogs, playing toge,h-
er on the track, while the cars were ap-
preaching at full speed. Two Of them be.
ing of the Newfoundland species, jumped
to the sides of the bridge, ready for a
spring into the water in case of emergen-
cy, while the other. of the terrier breed,
ran up the track, hoping to ousrun the
engine. Looking round, and finding that
he was likely TO be overtaken, he prostra-
ted himself at full length between the
rails, hugging close to the ground, till the
train had fairly passed over him, and then
jumped up, and wagged his tail, as much
as to say, "you didn't come it that time, !"
and again joined his companions in their
gambols. The many youngsters who Of
ten carelessy pursue their sports on the
bridge should, like these dogs, be ready TO
"clear the track when the bell rings. -

BY ELEANOR DARBY.
All! who is so blest as the honey-bee,
The ylph and humming-bird Of the howeui
The light-wing'd elf who so happy as he,
Making the most OF the golden hoursl
No hermit sustere 10 his waxen cell,
But an epieure and cage as well.
He kisses the roses blushing cheeks.
And sucks the balm from the woodbne's lip,
While merry murmur his pleasure spesksj
Nor only doth he sing and sip,
Bot reaps besides, and carries away
A harvest to hive for rainy day.
The gardens sultan, he fondly fies
From bud 10 bud through bis flower-serai:
He waits not TO see-he is far TO wise!-
His blooming beauties wither and die:
But the moment one turns pale. be retreats
To solace himself with anothers sweets.
Come, friends, let us take for our guide the bee,
Who the way of wisdom we'll can teach
Let's follow his gay philosophy
Meier lose blossom within our reach,
Nor fail mid the present, to garner up
Some geanings for filling the futures cup.
