LIoN-CATCHING IN SoUTH-AFRICA.-
MIR. Lemue, who formerly resided at
Motto, and is familiar with the Kalli-
harri country, assured me that the re-
markable accounts sometimes circulat-
ed as to the people of that part of
Africa catching lions BIZ the tail, and Of
which, confess, | was very incredu-
lOus, were perfectly true. He well
knows that the method prevailed, and
was certainly not uncommon among the
people. Lions would sometimes be-
come extremely dangerous. Having
become accustomed to human flesh,
they would not willingly eat anything
else. When a neighborhood became
infested, the men would determine on
the measures to be adoptedto rid them
selves of the nuisance then forming
themselves into a band, they would pro-
ceed in search of their royal foe, and
beard the lion in his lair. Standing
close by one another, the lion would
make his spring on some one of the
party-every man, of course, hoping he
might escape the attack-when instant
ly others would dash forward and seize
his tail, lifting it up closer to the body
with all their might; thus not only
astonishing the animal, and absolutely
taking him off his guard, but rendering
his efforts powerless for the moment !;
while others closed in with their spears,
and at once stabbed the monster through
and through.-Rev. j. j. Freeman's
Tour IN South-Africa.

CARsoN's CREEK, Dec. %, 1851.

At meeting held by the miners of Muir
phys and Carson's camps, the following
resolutions were adopted
Res0Ired, That as slanderous handbill
has been circulated by Morgan s. Willisson,
assailing the characteriof James Finnegan,
as an act of Justice, we feel ourselves bound
to make this declaration That many of US
have known him for upwards Of two years,
that he has always behaved as good and
peaceable citizen, and that we deprecate the
attempts of Morgan and his party to hold
him up to public odium as the ringleader
of lawless mob, organized for unlawful
purposes.
Res0lUed, That we deem it necessary to
state, in justice not only to James Finne-
gan, but to his co-partner, VIM. Carlow,
that they were the earliest residents in
these diggings, where they have made va
luable discoveries from time to time, and
were among the first discoverers of gold on
the Quartz Mountain, with one VIM. Hance,
their partner, who illegally disposed Of
their claim on the hill to Morgan's compa-

BE SOMETHING.-Don be a drone
You may rely upon your presnt posses
sions, or on your future prospects but
these riches may fly away, or hopes
may be blighted ; and if you have no
place of your own, in such case ten to
one you will find your path beset with
thorns. Want may come upon you be-
fore you are aware of it, and, having
no profession, you find yourself in any
thing but an enviable condition. 1t is
therefore important that you should be
something. Don't depend upon fortune,
for she is tickle support, which often
fails when you lean upon her with the
greatest confidence Trust to your own
exertions.
THE Courier des Etats- Unis states
that after Kossuth had arrived on board
the Mississippi, he received a despatch
from the Turkish government, inform
ing him that Austria had taken serious
unlbrage at his liberation, and suggest
ing that he should delay his departure
until the difficulty should be arranged.
The generous Hungarian was disposed
to accedc to this request, but the cap
tain Of the Mississippi interposed and
declared that he would not suffer vio-
lation of American hospitality ; that
Kossuth, having stepped on board Of
an American vessel, was upon Ameri-
can soil.

THE HOME WHERE THE HEART IS.

HE HOME WHERE THE HEART l.
BY ANNIE sOUTHCOAIB.
'Tis home where the heart is
If loved ones be near;
Affection can render
A wilderness denr
Tis the heart that must ever
Give language its power;
To cheer and console us
In sorrows dark hour
There is joy where the heart IS,
For who would despair
With dear ones around them,
Their sorrows to share.
To give zest to each pleasure,
To tighten each grief;
For sympathy ever
Gives the full heart relief.
There is rest where the heart IS,
Though our home be cot;
AMI true happiness lies
In content with our lot.
For riches can never
Bring joy to our breast;
But you ever will find
Where the heart is, there's rest.

CONVERTING THEPoPE.-About eighty
years ago, a Scotchman went to Rome
for the purpose Of converting the Pope.
The Scotchman was not content with
praying. He boldly entered St. Peters,
at High Mass, and addressed his Holi-
ness, in loud voice, by the title of
certain lady, who lives not a hundred
miles from Babylon. The Pope, who
happened to be a sensible man, (Gan-
ganeIli) was advised to send him to the
galleys, but he answered that the gal
leys were but sorry place to teach
people "good breeding p so he put the
honest fanatic into ship, and sent him
home again to Scotland.
