Animals.

A great many anecdotes are told of the sa-
gacity OF animals, and in Jesse's recent work
on Dogs, we find several that we have not
met with before. OF the Dogs ability to
find his way home, he says:
"a few years ago some hounds were en-
barked at Liverpool for Ireland, and were
safely delivered at a kennel far up in that
country. One of them, not probably liking
his quarters, found his way back to the port
at which he had been landed from Liverpool.
On arriving at it, some troops were being
embarked in a ship bound 10 that place. This
was a fortunate circumstance for the old
hound, as, during the hustle, he was not no.
ticed. He safely arrived at Liverpool, and
on his old master, or huntsman rather, COM
ing down stairs one morning, he recognized
his former acquaintance waiting to greet him.
A similar circumstance happened 10 some
hounds sent by the late Lord Lonsdale to
Ireland. Three of them escaped from the
kennel in that country, and made their ap-
pearance again in Leieestersllire. The love
of home, or most probably affection for a par.
ticular individual, must be strongly implan.
ted in dogs TO induce them to search over un.
explored and unknown regions for the being
and home they love-"
He also tells a story of an acute Colley
as follows =
"a lady of high rank has a sort of colley.
a Scotch sheep dog. When he is ordered tc
ring the bell, he does so but if he is told tc
ring the bell, when the servant is in the room
whose duty it is to attend, he refuses, ant
then the following occurrence takes place.
His mistress says, Ring The bell, dog. Tn,
dog looks at the servant, and then barks his
bow, wow, once or twice. The order is re.
peated two or three times. At last the dog
lays hold of the servants coat in a signif
cant manner, just as if he had said to him
"Don't you hear that | am to ring the bel
for you? Come to my lady," His mistress
always has her shoes warmed before she put
them on; but, during the late hot weather
her maid was putting them on without thei
having been previously placed before the FIRE
When the dog saw this he Immediately in
terfered, expressing the greatest indignation
at the maids negligence. He took the shoe
from her, carried them TO the FIRE, and afie

A Night with a DueliSt.

A duel was fought near the city Of WASH
ing.on, under circumstances of peculiar afro
city. A distinguished individual challenged
his relative who was once his friend. The
challenged party having the choice of wea-
pons, named muskets, 10 be loaded Nth
buckshot and slugs, and the distance ten
PAGES avowing at the same time his inten-
ton and desire that both parties should be
destroyed. They fought-the challenger
was killed on the spot; the murderer escaped
unhurt! Years afterwards, a gentlemen was
spending the winter in Charleston, South
Carolina, and lod ged at the same house with
this unhappy man. He was requested by
the duelisl, one evening, to sleep in the same
room with him, but he declined, as he was
very well accommodated in his own. On
his persisting in declining, the duelist con-
fessed to him that HE WAS FRAID TO SLEEP
ALONE and as a friend who usually occu-
pied the room was absent, he would esteem
it a great favor if he would pass the night
with him. His kindness being thus demand
cd, he consented, and retired to resi- in the
room of this man Of fashion and honor, who
some years before had stained his hands in
the blood of a kinsman. Alter long tossing
on his unquiet pillow, and repeating stihed
groans, that revealed the inward pangs of the
murderer, he sank into slumber, and as he
rolled from side to side, the name of his VIC
tim was often uttered, with broken words
that discovered the keen Temorse that proved
like fire on his conscience. Suddenly he
would start up in his bed with the terrible
impression that the avenger of blood was pur-
suing him /; or hide himself under the cover
ing as if he would escape the burning eye
of an anUrv God. that pleamed in the dark.
ness over him, like lightning from a thunder
cloud For him there was "no rest, day
nor night" Conscience, armed with %terrors,
lashed him increasingly, and who could
sleep! And this was not the rssllessness of
disease, the raving Of a disordered intellect,
nor the anguish of a maniac struggling i N
chains! 1t was a man of intelligence, edu-
cation, health, and influence, given up to
himself-not delivered over to the avenger of
blood to be tormented before his time; but
left to the power of his own CONSCIENCE,
suffering only what every one may suffer who
is abandoned of God!

MIRrH AND WIsDoM.-Nobody can deny
that there is truth in the old saying, sit is
GOOD to be merry and WISE" Not only is
this simple truth, but sound philosophy
II is an excellent thing to be mirlhful, when
YOU can; to smile at what amuses you; to
Iauph at what is ludicrous; in short, 10 look
at the sunny side of things, and even in the
oloom and cold of winter, to ~recollect that
there is ga good time coming" when the
sunshine and warmth of the glorious summer,
will make all things glad. Thus, even while
we enjoy ourselves, we may be wise in do
ing so. We may be exercising that hopeful,
practical philosophy, which makes the best
Of the present, and looks cheeringly forward
at the future, with its rich promise.

Think of our COuniry'S Glory.
BY ELIZABETH NJ. CHANDLER.

hf NE
Think of our counlry's glory,
All dimm'd with Afric's tears
Her broad flag stain'd and CORY
With the boarded guilt of years!
Think of the frantic mother,
Lamenting for her child,
Till falling lashes smother
Her cries Of anguish wild
Think Of the prayers ascending,
Yet shriek'd, alas in vain,
When heart from heart is rending
Meier to be join'd again.
Shall we behold, u~nheeding,
Life's hottest feelings crush'd!
When woman's heart is bleeding,
Shall woman's voice be huSh'd!
Oh, no! by every blessing
That Heaven TO thee may lend
Remember their oppression,
Forget not, sister, friend.

John LittlejOhn.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

John Littlejohn was staunch and strong,
Upright and downright, scoring wrong;
He gave good weight, and paid his way,
He thought for himself, and said his say;
Whenever a rascal strove to pass,
Instead of silver, money of brass,
He took his hammer, and said with a frown,
- The coin is spurious, nail IL down."
John Liitleiohn was firm and true,
You could not cheat him in 'two and two"
When foolish Arguers, might and main,
Darkened and twisted the light and plain,
He saw through the mazes Of their speech
The simple truth beyond their reach;
And crushing their logic, said with a frown,
I" Your coin is spurious, nail ii down."
John Littlejohn maintained the right,
Through storm and shine, in the Worlds de-
spite;
When fools or quacks desired his vote,
Dosed him with arguments learnt by rote,
Or by coaxing, threats, or promises tried
TO gain his support to the wrongful side,
"Ndy, nay" said John with an angry frown,
Your coin is spurious, nail IL doton."
When told that kings had a right divine,
And that the people were herds of swine,
That mobiles alone were fit to rule,
That the poor were unimproved by school,
That ceaseless toll, was the proper fate
or all but the wealthy and the great,
John shook his head, and swore with a frown
"Ihe coin is spurious, nail ii dO,on."
When told that events would justify,
A false and crooked policy.
That a decent hope Of future good
Might excuse departure from rectitude,
That a lie of white, was of small offence,
To be forgiven by men of sense,
"NGy, nay" said John, with a sigh ant
frown,
The coin is spurious, nail IL doWn."
When told from the pulpit, or the press
That heaven was a place of eXclusiveness,
That none but those, could enter there
Who knelt with the 4" orthodox" at prayer,
And held all virtues out of their pale
As idle words of no avail,
Johns face grew dark, as he swore with
frown,
THE coin is spurious, nail IL dOtDn."
Whenever the world our eyes would blind
With false pretence of such a kind,
With humbug, cant, and bigotry,
Or a s~pecious sham philosophy,
With wrong dressed up in the guise Of right
And darkness passing itself for light,
Let US initiate John, and exclaim with a frowr
The coin is spurious, nail IL dOWn."

P0ETRY Y.
For he Bugle.
The Parted Friends.

Amid New England's v%allies,
Where her laughing waters flow,
Two little maidens wandered
In the days of long ago.
In the time of vernal beauty,
Through the summers golden hours,
Hand in hand they roved together.
Side by side they gathered flowers.
Golden was the chain that bound them
In their fair and guileless youth,
And its price was more than rubies,
. For the links were love and truth.
Bright and gladstone was their present,
And they deem'd 'twould ever last;
They fear'd not for the future,
And they sighed not for the past.
Years fled and they were parted;
One sought the blooming West;
Manhood's truth and c%hildhood's beauty
Make her lowly pathway blest.
But the other still doth linger
Beneath the old TooEtree-
Sill beside her Fathers hearth-stone,
A maiden young and free.
Never more with blithsome spirit,
Meath their W dear native sky,
Shall they rove heart-linked together,
AS they rov'd in days gone by.
Never on that sunny hill-side-
Never DER that verdant plain,
Or beside that murmuring river,
Shall they gather flowers again.
A few more days of sunshine
And of shade will roll away,
Then the quiet grave will open,
To receive their kind red clay.
God grant that then, together,
Mid never-fading bowers,
Their souls in bliss may wander,
Seeking for immortal flowers.
