villains who f. under his notice on board.
All our large cities abound with the knaves;

"The one is a thick set individual of me-

Number two is pretty much of the same
description, save that he has bushy black
whiskers. wears several rings upon the third
finger of his left hand and broad brimmed
white hat upon his head-thc brim cooked
very much over his left leye; he is hdgetty,
and apparently quick and irascblc, but in
reality as cool as cucumber, and as much
"up to snuff" as tobacconist. The third
of this beautiful quartette of nice young men
is young neatly and plainly dressed in black,
has very new hat and unexcep!ionable
boots; his countenance is pale, and under

Fl is fashionable to speak disparagingly of Willis q
mere literary dandy, and he deserves some drubbn
for his pestcnt propensity to tc; but it is ridiculou
to deny him high poetic merits If the following stan
zas fall anything short Of true poetry, we do not our
selves know what is. They were sung at the dedica

When God, 10 shield from cold and storm,
Gave trees to build and fires 10 warm,
He did not mark for each his part,
But gave 10 each human heart.
Each heart is told the poor TO aid
Not told as thunder makes afraid
But by small voice whispering there;
Find thou, for God tie sufferers share!
Oh! prompting faint, 10 careless view,
Far work that angels we'll might do!
But wisely thus is taught below
Quick pity for another's wo.
The world is stored-cnough for all.
Is scattered widc 'wixt hut and hall;
And those who feast, or friendlcss roam,
Alike from God receive home.

Take ,ohat / haze from God that's Mine!
For child, for woman's fragile form,
More harsh the cold; more wild the storm;

A HONE for these, . God, to-day,
For blessing at thy feet we lay!

gated on board down stream steamer, and
succeeded in obtaining victim for hand
at "poker. He was young man, with hon.
csty in his very look, and apparently a hard
working mechanic. He was permitted to
win several dollars at first, until il was as
certaued that he had about two hundred
dollars, the savings of two years hard labor,
when, having "sized the pile they went at
him, and giving him very strong hands, but
keeping yet stronger themselves. AT length
the victim was gwen a hand that he was
being pucked as rapidly as possible. or
course he was beaten, and got up without
dollar in the world. The other gentlemen"
declined playing any more, and got up very
happy at their remarkable success. The
victim had the pleasant prospect of a Jour-

WONDERFUL SAGAclTY OF DoG.-An
officer of the army. accompanied by his dog,
left West Point on visit to the city of Bur-
lington, N. J. and while there becoming sick,
wrote to his wife and family al West Point
in relation to his indisposilion. Short y al.
ter the reception of this letter, the family
was aroused by whining, barking and
scratching at the door of the house, and o.
pened TO ascertain the cause, in rushed the
faithful dog. After being caresscd and ev-
cry attempt made to quiet him, tho dog in
despair at not being understood seized a
shawl! lie then placed himself before her,
fixing his gaze inlcn,ly seized her dress and
began to drag her TO the door. The lady
then bccame alarmed and sent for relative
who cndeavored TO allav her fears, but she
prevailed upon him to accompany her at
once to her husband, and on arriving found
him dangerously III in Burlington. He is
vet indsposed. The distance travelled BY
the faithful animal, and the difficulties en-
countered, render this account almost in
credible, especially as the boats cannot stop
at West Point on account nf the ice. Any
one can easily satisfy further curiosity in re-
