POETRY.
some Things Love Me.

BY T. B. READ.
All within and all without me
Feel melancholy thrill;
And the darkness hangs about me-
Oh, how still
To my feet the river glideth
Through the shadow, sullen, dark:
On the stream the white moon rldeth,
Like a barque.
And the linden leans above me,
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me-
Even mel
Gentle flowers are springing near me,
Shedding sweetest breath around;
Countless voices rise to cheer me
From the ground.
And the lone bird comes-l hear it
In the tall and windy pine
Pour the sadness of its spirit
Into mine!
There it swings and sings above me,
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me-
Even me!
Now the moon hath floated to me,
On the stream | see it sway,
Swinging, boat-like, as twould woo me
Far away:
And the stars bend from the AZURE
could reach them where lie,
And they whisper all the pleasure
Of the sky.
There they hang and smile above me
Till think some things there be
In the very heavens that love me-
Even me

70 MANAGE A REARING HoRsE.-ln
preference to the dangerous experiment Of
pulling rearing horse backward, recon-
mend the adoption of the following meth
ed Whenever you perceive horses IN
clination to rear, separate your reins, and
prepare for him. The instant he is about
to rise, slacken one hand and bend or twist
his head with the other, keeping your hands
low. This bending compels him 20 move
hind leg, and Of necessity brings Ills fore
feet down. Instantly twist HIM completely
round two or three times, which will con-
fuse him very much, and completely throw
him off his guard: The moment you have
finished twisting him round, place his head
in the direction you wish him to proceed,
applying the spurs, and he will not fail to
90 forward; if the situation be convenient,
press him into gallop, and apply the spurs
and whip two or three times severely. The
horse will NOT, perhaps, be quite satisfied
with the first defeat, but may feel disposed
To try aoaih for the mastery. Should this
&c., as before, and you will find that in the
second struggle he will be much more ca
silly subdued than ON the former occasion !;
in fact you will perceive him quail
under the operation. 1t rarely happens
that a rearing horse, latter having been treat
ed in the way described, will resort to his
trick third time.-The Sportsman

Tile Elephant in Trouble.

An affecting incident occurred on Tues
dast in St. townsville, at the breaking of a
bridge over which two elephants, belong
inc to the circus and menagerie of Messrs
Sands, Quick s. Co., were crossing 1t ap'
nears that through the carelessness OF their
keepers ir allowing both elephants to &c
on the bridge together, their weight caused
It to break down, when the two noble ami
mails were preciptated from height OF 10
feet to the bed of the river among the
rocks, iniuring the female (JulieD so Sc
verely that it was for long time lmpossi-
BILE 10 get her out of the water.
The male (Romeo) not being SO much
burt was soon in condition to be femov-
ed. but his attachment toward his unfortu-
nate companion was so great that no efforts
could induce him to leave her in the time
of trouble. Various means of persuasion
and even force were resorted to without ef-
feet. Separating them alive seemed almost
impossible. At length large powerful
mastif, obtained several years ago from the
farm of Henry Clay, in Lexington, by
whom the elephants had always allowed
themselves to be driven, and Of whom the
female was very much in fear,was brought
out and set upon Romeo for the purpose OF
getting him away from his mate.
Notwithstanding her broken limbs and
dread of the dog, the faithful Juliet made
desperate effort to protect her partner, in
doing which, the position Of the two wound
ed animals became so much changed as to
enable the keepers with assistance to drag
them on the beach. Finding it necessary
to leave them behind, the company caused
shed to be built over them ON the bank of
the stream, where the devoted friends will
remain until their wounds are healed.
These elephants were captured together
In Asia ten years ago and brought to Eng
land, where they were purchased by the
celebrated Wombwell, and taught to per-
form together IN their dramatic pieces at
all the principal theatres in Europe. They
subsequently became the property OF Mess
rs R. Sands, Quick s. Co., with whom they
have always travelled in this country and
are known far and wide. Romeo, though
much s!ifened and bruised is not danger.
ousiy hurt, and Will probably be continued
IN the exhibition; but poor Julie! is past all
surgery; having broken hef shoulder and
otherwise being sadly crippled, she cannot
long survive her injuries, and will "never
march again" ."-Utica Gazette.
