A JUG AN EMBLEM OF THE HUMAN
HEART.-The jug is a most singular
%utensil. A pail, tumbler or decanler
may be rinsed. and you may satisfy your
self by optical proof that it is clean; but
the jug has a little hole in the top, and
the interior is all darkness. No eye pen
etrates it-no hand moves over the sur
face. You can clean it only by putting
in water. shaking up and pouring it out.
If the water comes out clean, you Judge
you have succeeded in cleaning the jug,
and vice versa. Hence the Jug is like
the human heart. No mortal eye can
look into its recessess, and you car only
Judge of its purity by what out
of it.

The old dog reached il, and stood strain
irg upon the spring, when Lincoln fired,
and the hound, with one short .wough'
dropped in upon his head, and was car
ried off like a flash!
Counts one less to pitch over said
the hunter, hastily re-loading his rifle.
Without appearing TO notice the
strange conduct of their leader, the 9TH
ers crossed in a string, and striking the
trail, come yelling up the pass. II was
a grassy slope such as is often seen be-
tween two tables Of a cllff-and as the
dogs strained upward, we could see their
jaws. Another crack from Lincoln's
rifle, and the foremost hound tumbled
back down the gorge.
Two rubbed OUT cried the hunter;
and at the same moment | saw him fling
his rife to the ground. The hounds
kept the trail no longer. Their quarry
was before them; their bowling ended,
and they sprang upon us without any
noise. The next moment we were min
gled togethcr;-dogs and men-in the
fearful struggle of life and death! !

ter lasted. | felt myself graphing with
the tawny monsters, and hurting them
over the cliff. They sprang at my throat
and | threw out my arms, thrustlng them
fearlessly between shining rows of teeth.

Raoul had sunk upon the grass, and lay
torn and bleeding. Lincoln and Chane,
holding a hound, were balancing him
over the bluff,

And with this ejaculation the kicking

From the Knickerbocker.
Don't you remember, LILY, dear,
The mill by the old hillside,
Where we used to go in summer time
And watch the foamy tide;
And toss the leaves of the fragrant beech
On its breast so smooth and bright,
Where they foated away like emeralds,
In a flood of golden light?
LILY, dear!
And the miller, love, with his slouchy cap,
And eyes of mildest gray,
Flooding about his dusty work,
Singing the live-long day?
And the coat that hung On the rusty nail
With many a motley patch,
And the rude old door, with its broken sill
And the string and the wooden latch9
LILY, dear!
And the water-wheel, with its giant arms,
Dashing the beaded spray,
And the weeds it pulled from the sand below
And tossed in scorn away;
And the sleepers, LILY, with moss o'ergrown,
Like sentinels stood in pride,
Breasting the waves, where the chinks of
time
Were made in the old mills side.
LILY, dear!
LILY, the mill is torn away,
Af &
And a factory, dark and high,
Looms like a tower, and puffs its smoke
Oyer the clear blue sky;
And the stream is turned away above,
And the bed of the river bare,
And the beech is withered, boughan trunk,
And stands like a spectre there
LILY, dear!
And the miller, LILY, is dead and gone!
He sleeps in the vale below:
! saw his stone in the winter time
Under a drift Of snow;
But nov the willow is green again,
And the wind is soft and still;
] send you a sprig to remind you love,
Of him and the dear old mill.
LILY, dear!

A hattie with Blood-hounds.

1t wal daylight when I awoke-broad
daylight. My companions, all but
Clayley, were already astir, and had
kindled a fire with a species of wood
known to Raoul that produced hardly
any smoke. They, were preparing
breakfast. On a limb close by hung the
hideous human-like carcass of an iguana
still writhing. Raoul was whetting a
knife to skin it, while Lincoln was at
some distance carefully reloading his
rifle. The Irshman lay upon the grass
peeling bananas and roasting them over
the fire. The iguana was soon skinned
and broiled, and we commenced eating.
all OF us with good appetites.
BE Saint Pathrick!' said Chane, this
bates frog-atin all hallow. It's little
meself dhramed in the owled sod, hearin
Of them niggers in furrin parts, that I'd
be turning kannybawl meself some day!'
.Don't you like it, Murtagh?' asked
Raoul loosely.
ooh! indads yes; its bether than an
empty bread-basket; but if yez could
Only taste a small thrife of Wicklow
Lam this mornin, and a small pratie in
std OF this brown soap, yez-
Hist said Lincoln, starting suddenly,
and holding the bite half way to his
mouth.
sWhat is it?' / asked.
'Fll tell yer in a mint, Cap'n.'
The hunter waved his hand to enioin
silence, and, striding to the edge Of the
glade, and fell fiat to the ground. We
knew ne was listening, and waited for
the result. We had not long to wait, for
he had scarcely brought his ear in con-
tact with the earth, when he sprang sud-
denly up again, exclaiming:
Hounds trailin US, by the Eternal!'
II was seldom that Lincoln uttered an
oath and when he did there was
thing awful in his manner. He wore a
despairipg look too, unusual to the bold
character of his features. This with the
appalling statement acted on us like a
galyanic shock; and by n impulse, we
ieaped from the FIRE, and threw ourselves
fiat upon the grass. Not a word was
spoken, as we strained our ears to listen.
At FIRST we could distinguish a low
moaning sound. like the hum OF a wild
bee; it seemed to come of the earth!
After a little it grew louder and sharper;
then it ended in a yell, and ceased alto
gether. After a short interval it began
afresh this time still clearer; then came
the yelp, loud, sharp and vengeful.-
There was no installing that sound. 1t
was the bark of the Spanish bloodhound!
We sprang up Simultaneously looking
around for weapons, and then staring at
each other, with an expression Of de-
spair. The rifle and two case-knives
were all the weapons we had.
Whats to be done!' cried one, and
all eyes were turned upon Lincoln.-
The hunter stood motionless clutching
his rifle and looking to the ground.
How fur's the crick, Raoul!' he
asked, after q pause.
Not 200 yards; this way il lies.
Il kin see no other chance Cap'n,
than Ter take the water; we may bam-
Eooxls the hounds a bit, il there's good
wadin.'
