Keep time old horologue till age
Shall close thy masters eye
And when thou art left in the latest stage;
To tremble alone, mid the elements rage,
Oh, then ram doecn-and die.
Narrow Escape.
Mr. Charles P. Davis, (son of Capt Charles
NJ Davis of this city, recently returned from a
voyage to the East Indies, met with a most re
markable adventure, while lying in the river
Hoogly, last fall. He was attached to the ship
John Merrick, Capt Stevens, bound from Cal
cutta to London. The ship had dropped down
the river to large island not far from its mouth
called Sagua, or Tiger Island-and having been
informed that deer were to be found quite nu-
merous on the island, Davis, with the ships pi-
lot, the skipper of the tighter, one other white
man, and four natives, went ashore to hunt for
them, each armed with a gun. After halt
hours ramble, they got sight of the heads and
antlers of a number of deer, which were feed
ing on the opposite side of hollow, behind a
thicket or jungle of Low brushwood. Conceal
ed by this jungle, the hunters were creeping
stealthily in single file towards the game, when
Davis was started by the cry of ''tiger massa''
from one of the natives, and turned his head just
in time to see the glaring eyes of a mOnstrous
Bengal tiger, that with claws outsprend and
mouth wide open, was coming down upon him,
having made flying leap from contiguous jun
gle. Instantly the jaws of the fierce animal
were closed upon his arm near the shoulder, but
fortunately the stock of the gun was taken into
its mouth in connection with the arm, whereby
the limb was in q measure saved from HARM
The huge beast did not stand for trifes but
trotted away him gun and all, as easily as a cat
would carry mouse. Davis grappled the ami
malls throat with his left hand, but he might as
well have seized the gambril of an OK, OF an
iron bar, for all the harm he could do him, at
the same time he shouted Justify for his com
panions to shoot at the tiger, but fearing the
shots might take effect upon himself instead of
the beast, they forebore. His own gun, how
ever, proved his salvation, for the barrel which
extended its whole length from one side Of the
tigers mouth, occasionally digging into the
ground, induced the animal at length to drop
him, for the purpose, apparently of taking a
better hold. At this instant ball from the well
aimed piece of one of Dayiss comrades struck
the tiger, wounding him severely, and with a
roar that made the echoes ring again, he darted
into the thicket, and they saw no more of him.
Davis's arm was lacerated severely, and it
bled so profusely that before they could get him
to the river he tainted. His comrades hurried
with him on board the English ship Monarch, of
London, which was lying in the stream, and
which had a surgeon on board, where the proper
remedies restored him to consciousness, and his
wounds were dressed, so that in a few days he
was able to attend to his duties on ship board.
The deep scars and blackened indentations on
his arm still give evidence of the fearful grip of
the tiger-and he will carry them to his grave.

THE cLoDK IN THE CORNER.
BY II. DE CoLsEQ.

/ thought in my school boy days foresooth,
That the clock was living thing,
That it had a tongue that would speak the truth
To tell its tales upon truant youth,
In the book-hiding days of spring.
And peered with fear on its charactered face
To watch the spirit within,
That was running its round with ceaseless race
And beating the time with miniature mace,
As if overjoyed at the din.
l marked its voice when the dear ones died,
As it ticked to their latest breath,
And when they passed to the bourne untried,
1t seemed to follow with unmeasured stride,
Their spirit after death.
How it rung and echoed my marriage chime,
On that merriest summer morn,
When the skies were brighter than eastern cline
And hearts beat fast for the coming time,
And the future yet unborn
And when mid storm and midnight wild,
On the dark and moaning earth,
There came to our love n fair-haired child
Its monitor face beamed brightly and smiled,
To mark the moment of birth
Thou art DID, but love thy very decay,
As thou sittest ancient mime,
On the wooden seat near the kitchen way,
When, for many a year and many day,
They have come to ask ''the time"
Keep time old horologue till age
Shall close thy masters eye;
And when thou art left in the latest stage;
To tremble alone mid the elements rage,
Oh then ran doerR-and die.
