down the craggy sides, he hung dangling

Amugements in Cuba.

VIM. G. BRYANT, Editor of the N. Y.
Evening Post who is now on a visit to the
Island Of Cuba, speaks as follows of the a.
musements of the people, in late letter
from Havana:
"The next day The festivities, which were
to indemnify the people for the austerities
of Lent and Passion week, began. The
cock-pits were opened during the day, and
masked balls were given in the evenings at
the the theaters. You know probaly, that
cock-hghting is the principal diversion of
the island, having entirely supplanted the
national spectacle of buII.baiting. Cuba,
fact. seems to be a great poultry yard

tiers, for the game cock is the noisest and
most boastful of birds, and is perpetualIy

smooth to theiE head, the feathers pucked
from every part of the body except the
wings, and the tail locked like that of

lanes among the chickens. One old Grip.

town of Guines, stiff with wounds received
in combat, who had probably received
furlough for life, and who, limping about a.

crow defiance to the world. The peasants

A Panther Hunt.

Incredible as the follwing account may
appear to our reades, the incidents related
arc strictly true, and the hero of the tale still
walks the earth in green old age.
In a certain section of our own goody
State, the first settlers were obliged to de-
pend, for part of their subsistence, upon
the wild animals they might take with the
aid of their rifles. Many of them could
eye a rifle, or take shot of white-eye with
out blinking; and it is to be regretted that
some of them have suffered severely from
wounds caused By the latter.
In the autumn, after the leaves had fallen,
as light snow lay upon the ground our
hero, who rejoiced in the cognomen Of
'CaP Calvin shortened) started with two
companions and dog, to spend an after
noon on still hunt for deer Nov 'Cal'

letic, yet reckless kind of men, often met
with in all new countries and on training

as one of the lowest in the scale Of human

that the professions are much more respect

Is it degrading to turn over the fresh fur

Being at a wedding party where there
were some wild young men, they proposed
that the Rev. Mr. Murray should drink wine
with them; to which he assented, remark
ing at the same time that che could drink
like a beast" At this they stared at each
other and winked, plainly inlimeting that
they would make him go to the entire ami
mai. After drinking Il glass, he positively
refused to take any more. They remind
him Of his promise; to which he replied,

Grinding & woman to sleep.

A woman whose husband was in the hab-
it Of snoring so loud that he could be heard
further than the fly wheel Of sixty horse
power engine, had become so accustomed
to the muyic that she found it impossible to
get to sleep without it. Her husband being
necessarily absent for week or two, theta
dy was getting into a very bad way, having
passed two nights without closing her eyes,
and probably would have died had it not
been for the ingenuity of the servant girl
On the third night she took the cotiee-mil
into the tired woman bedroom and ground
her to sleep.

Earth the Natural Friend of Man.

The great Roman naturalist, Pliny, in
one of the most beautiful passages of his
elaborate history of nature, observes 1T
is the earth that, like kind mother, re-
ceiyes US at our birth, and sustans us when
born 1t is this alone, OF all the elements
around, that is never found an enemy of
man. The body of waters deluge him with
rains, Cypress him with hail, and drown with
foundations; the air rushes on in storms,
prepares the tempest, or lights up the volcc-
no;but the earth, gentle and indOlgent, ever
subservient to the wants of man, spreads
his walks with flowers, and his table with
plenty! returns with interest every good
committed to her care; and though she pro-
duces the poison, she still supplies the anti.
dote, though constantly leased to furnish
the Injuries Of man rather than his necessi.
ties yet, even to the last, she continues her
KIND indulgence, and when life is over, she
plously hides his remains in her bosom.

& Witty Parson.

A Scotch clergyman, by the name Of
Watty Morrison, was man Of great laugh.
ter and humor On one occasion young
officer scoiled at the idea that it required SO
much time and study to write a sermon as
ministers pretend, and offered 10 bet that
he could preach half an hour en- any pass
age in the Old Testament, without any pre-,
paration Mr., Morrison took the bet and
gave him for text, "And the Ass opened
his mouth and he spakc." The parson won
the wager, the officer being rather disincli-
ned to employ his eloquencc upon the text.
On another occasion, he entrcated an Of
licer to pardon a poor soldier for some Of
fence he had committed The officer a.
greed to do SO, if he would, in return, grant
him the first favor he should ask. Mr.. Nor,
rison agreed to this, In day or two, the
officer demanded that the ceremony OF bap-
tsm should be performed on young puppy.
The clergyman assented; and party Of
many gentlemen assembled to witness the
novel baptism. Mr.. Morrison desired the
officer TO hold up the dog as was customary
in the baptism Of children, and said, GAS
am minister of the Church Of Scotland

af the Church."
'Certainly," said the Major, 81 shall ex
pect all the ceremony"

Aneodote of Whittier.
FROM THE FAMILY VISITOR.

Whittier gave early indications of poetic
powers. Several of his juvenile poems
having found their way into the newspapers
and magazines of the day, attracted the
attention of some literary gentlemen, who
appreciated the merit of the productions,
and resolved to make their author visit,
10 offer their assistance in introducing the
"Quaker poet" to literary notorety. Ac-
cordingly they took conveyance that soon
set them down in the picturesque town OF
Weare, New HAMPSHIRE the residence of
the young poet. With some difficulty they
found the dwelling of Whittier, and were
ushered into the best room of the house by
the mother, to whom they made known Their
desire to see her son.
All this time young Whittier was working
away at the certainly very unpoetical bus
mess of cleaning out the hog-sty. Heplied
his shovel with right good will, totally UNI
concious of the honor that awaited him.
Judge of his astonishment when Lizzy, his
sister, came running from the house and in
formed him "that it was full of very great
people who were waiting see him.
"What shall do?" cried the poet, in
agony, "Run, Lizzy, and get my boots
while | wash me in the brook"
The boots were brought, but the bare,
wet feet of Whittier refused to enter. At
length, after deal Of tuggng one was
drawn on, but oh, horrors! the other would
not 20 on, neither would the first come off.
"a pretty looking spectacle shall pre-
sent for their inspection" murmured Whit
tier, as with one boot in his hand and the
other on his foot, he entered the house.
But in a shot time, the iattering words Of
his visitors made him quite forget the awk.
wardness Of his attire.
