A Hard Case.

The following Circumstance is related
by the New York Herald. Those who
read it will agree with US that it was rath>
er hard case.
A jolly old fellow, who resides in the
tenth ward, considerable of politician,
feeling anxious to see the report of the
meeting at Tammany Hall last Saturday
evening, jumped out of bed on Sunday
morning, and without waiting 10 dress,
ran to the door, and stopped boy who
was drudging along crying Sunday Her
aid. Scarcely had he secured the paper,
when to his dismay, he heard couple Of
ladies coming down stairs; (he forgot
that they were to leave early to visit a
sick relatively To get back TO his room
coull not be done without exposing him
self, so he boted into the street and took
to the area. Here the jolly captain found
the door locked, and the ladies closed the
door above. He had no night key, his
family were mostly in the third sto-y,and
there he stood Witnessing a fine snow
storm in his shirt and drawers. After
standing upon a door mat about SO min
uies, he heard some signs of life within,
and after wrapping some time, the door
was opened by one of the girls employed
up stairs, who reported Immediately TO
the captains lady, that her husband had
returned home without his clothes. So
much for reading Sunday papers.

Why should any Man Swear.

can conceive of no reason why he
should, but of ten reasons why he should
not.
Ii is mean. A man Of high moral STAN
ding would almost as soon steal sheep
as swear.
1t is vulgar; altogether too low for a
decent man.
1t is cowardly; implying fear either of
no, being believed or obeyed.
1t is ungentlemanly. A gentleman,
according to Webster, is genteel man,
well-bred, refined. Such an one will
no more swear, than 60 into the street
and throw mud with clod-hopper.
1t is indecent; offensive TO delicacy,
and extremely unfit for human ears.
1t is foolish. "a want of dccency is

1t is abusive, to the mind which con-
ceives the oath. to the tongue which ut>
tiers 1t, and to the person to which it is

1t is venomous; showing a mans heart

he swears, one of them sticks out his

Bad place for Bankrupts.


The laws Of Bankruptcy. in Batavia are
somewhat stringent. A letter from la

oulline:- e.tts-
go be bankrupt here, is a somewhat
different affair from what it is in the U.
States. Immediately on becoming bank
rupt, the NAMES of,he parties are pIacar>
ded about town, and in the Exchange, as
if prima facie infamous. The books are
then examined by the public officers for
that purpose. If the estate does not pay
90 per cent, and the bankrupt can be prov
ed 10 have done business after he knew
tina, fact, be is put inlo prison. as a Grim
nal, for number Of years, and declared
"aloosi,' which signifies infamous, with
out character. After this, the "aloost''
person is indeed communicated. His
word is not to be taken-he is not allow
ed 10 be witness, even on oath, and if
a man trust him, he does 1t at his own risk,
he has no legal remedy against him. On
the other hand, it a man takes his books
to the public officer, aud declares that he
has given up all he has, and it does not
appear that he has been doing business,
knowing he was bankrupt, and after a
strict investigation there are no suspicious
circumstances, his creditors must sign his
papers. Thus the creditor is protected
without depressing the debtor, the rogue
is distinguished from the honest, and a
person is obliged, by terrible penalty, to
know the state Of his affairs, and, when
once embarrassed, to refrain from specu-
latng to retrieve himself. This law
came into operation in May, lS4S, and it
was not long before it caught something
in the shape of an English concern, who
pay about one-quarter of one per cent,
and whose partners are now expiating
their offence in prison."

There is always something to render
poverty in the country, less terrible than
poverty in the town. There, God has
scattered wild flowers upon the turf, and
blended thousand lovely hues in the tall
grasses, the wild vines and the noble
trees which the poor man enjoys equally
with the rich. There can be no general
monopoly Of all that is most beautiful ups
on the earth. The holy breath of heav>
en-, fills the lungs Of poor MN as gem
erously as it swells the bosom of mon
arch. The sunset piles up her clouds OF
feecy gold too high for any potentaie to
steal CLEAN that the poor ahorer NAV
not not enjoy equally with himself. The
rich man may revel in his wines that de-
stroy him; but 20 poverty there is bright
er beverage, gushing up from the grew
rock, the deep valley, and the clefts Of
almost every hill, which makes him stron.
ger, as he drinks, leaving no fever-spiri,

honey. Hence, those who are much ex-

bees, or take nest of wasps, smear their

found to be the best preventative. When

Lion Hunting in Algeria.

nj. Jules Gerard, the sub-leutenant in
the Spakis, who has gained such cclebri>
ty as a lion killer in Africa, writes from
Constantine, that on the 29th ul,, he went
to the hills OF Zerazer, in the district of
Seguia, where he had been told that lis
ons might be found, Having discovered
that the lions were in clump Of trees
surrounded by rocks, he placed himself
on an adjacent rock. and presently saw two
lions among the trees. The animals APP
peared greatly irritated at having been
disturbed, and one of them frequently is
sued from the trees as if to reconnoitre.
At length M. Gerard sent away all the
Arabs who had accompanied him except
one, and loaded his rifles. Presently the
two lions came forth, one about fifty steps
in advance. On seeing NJ Gerard the first
lion rushed towards him, and ieaped on
the lower part ofthe rock, looking at him
fixedly. The animal having turned to-
wards his companion, NJ. Gerard fired,
and hit him in the shoulder. The lion
fell with fierce howl, hors de combat
The other lion then rushed to the attack,
with tail extended, and roaring furiously.
Gerard shot him in the shoulder The
lion gave tremendous spring, and alight-
ed on the very rock on which Gerard was.
The brave man calmly took a second
rifle from the Arab by his side, aimed at
the animals temple, and killed him on
the spot. A coup de grace was given to
the other lion, and as Gerard said, I" the
job was DONE" Including these two, Ge-
rard has killed altogether II lions.-[Ga-
