ABoUTLUCK.
Henry Ward Beeoher, in areoent Lee

Henry Ward Beecher, in arecent lec-
ture says:
az may here, as well as anywhere,
impart the secret of what is called good
luck and bad luck There are men who
supposing providence to have an impla-
cable spite against them, bemoan in pov.
erty to wretched old age the misfor.
tune of their lives. Luck forever ran
againt them and for others.
zone With good profession, lost his
luck in the river, where he idled away
his time in fishing when he should have
been in the Office. Another with COED
trade, perpetually burnt up his luck with
his hot temper, which provoked all his
employees to leave him. Another with
lucrative business, lost his luck by
amazing diligence at everything but his
business. Another, who steadily fol-
lowed trade, as steadily followed his bot
tie. Another, who was honest and con.
slant at his work, erred by perpetual
misjudgments; he lacked discretion.
hundreds lose their luck by endorsing
by sanguine speculation; by trusting
fraudulent men,-aud by dishonest
gains. A man never has good luck who
has bad wife. I never knew an early
rising hard working, prudent man; care
full Of his earnings, and strictly honest,
who complained of bad luck. A good
character; good habits and iron indus
try, are impregnable to the assaults OF
all the i'll luck fools ever dreamed Of
But when I see tatterdemalion creep
ing out of a grocery late in the forenoon,
with his hands stuck into his pockets,
the rim of his hat turned up, and the

luck-for the worst of all luck is to be a
sluggard, knave or a trippler."

THE EsQU1MAUx.

Extract from lecture delivered il
Philadelphia, by I. I. Hayes, Surgeon
of Kane's Arctic Expedition.
The Esquimaux dog is, without excep
ever seen--iudeed I doubt very much
whether they are dog at all, but only 0
reclaimed wolf. They have not bark
like dog, but most wolfish howl, and
are thoroughly savage in all their pro-
pensities. Their masters keep them in
subjection by constant intimidation, and
will not dare feed them without being
armed with whip or stick.
They will not hesitate to attack any
person who may be within their power,
and instances are not unfrequent of their
having devoured children and decrepid
| women.
They are about the size of an ordinary
cur, strongly built, covered with thick
fur, instead of hair, and are the only an
imal used by the natives in their wander
ing from place to place over the ice.
In my own person I can testify to
their wolish habits. was on an errand
to an Esquimaux hut, and was detained
by a heavy snow storm two days The
dogs belonging to the settlement were
tied outside, and had not been fed during
the time, and were in consequence be-
coming rather savage. was out at a
little distance from the hut, prospecting
the weather, when observed their mas
ters unloosing them. Mistrusting the
beasts, made direct for the hut, and
just as was about to stoop down to ems
ter the passage heard rather an alarm
ing howl at my heels, and looking around
saw the whole hungry pack, with their
lantern looking jaws wide open ready
for breakfast at my expense. I soon
saw that the upright position was the
only safe one SO making sudden spring
I drove them back for an instant. But
they were not so easily frightened.
Coming on again, they completely sur
rounded me, and now really thought
my time had come, and that to be
drawn and moro than quartered was
my certain doom. One of the ras-
Gals had already hold of me, but
thanks to my thick bear skin dress he
did no harm. Fortunately for me at this
juncture, I discovered a whip partially
buried in the snow at about ten feet dis
tance from me, and you may be sure 1
made the best spring could for it, land
ing beyond huge grizzly fellow that
seemed to particularly relish my trou-
-bles.
These dogs have wonderful respect
for whip, no doubt from habits of asso-
citation, SO that with this little instru-
ment had little difficulty in idding my
self of the pack, and as they went of,
they exhibited by their snarling and
swapping, evident disappointment.

THE OLD VILLAGE CHURCH.
Bx TX MARVEL.

LAST evening we were walking leisure
ly along. The music of the choirs in
three churches came floating out in the
darkness around US, and they were all
new and strange tunes but one and
that one, it was not sung as We have
heard it, but it awakened train of
long buried memories, that rose to US
even as they were before the cemetery
of the soul had tomb in it..
It was sweet old e Corinth" they were
singing-strains that we have seldom
heard since the rose color of life was
blanched; and we were in a moment
back again to the old village church /;
and it was summer afternoon, and the
yellow sunbeams were streaming through
the west windows, and the silver hair of
the old deacon, who sat in the pulpit,
was turned to gold in its light, and the
minister, who we used to think could
never die, so good was he, had concluded
applications" and "exhortation," and
the village choir were singing the last
hymn, and the tune was Corinth."
It is years-we dare not think how
many-since then, and "the prayers of
David, the SON of jesse" are ended, and
the choir are scattered and gone-the
girl with Blue eyes that sang alto, and
the girl with black eyes that sang air !;
the eyes of the one were like clear June
heaven at noon. They both became
wives, and both mothers; and they both
died. Who shall say they are not sing
ing " Corinth" still, where Sabbaths
never wane, and congregations never
break up? There they sat, Sabbath nf-
ter Sabbath, by the square column at
the right of the "leader;" and to our
young ears their tones were the avery
soul of music" That column bears still
their pencilled names, as they wrote
them in those days in life's June, 1e3-,
before dreams of change had overcome
their spirits like summers cloud.
Alasl that with the old singers most
of the sweeter tunes have died upon the
air! but they linger in memory; and they
shall yet be sung in the sweet reunion
of song that shall take place bytahd-by
in hall whose columns are beams of
morning light, whose ceiling is pearl,
whose floors are all gold, and where hair
never turns silyery and hearts never
grow old. Then she that sang alto; and
she that sang air, will be in their places
once more.

HUDSON SCENERY.

We give below very pretty passage,
from the letter of correspondent, dcs-
criptive of some of the grand scenery
along the Rhine of America -" Y on
der is that old veteran, Butter Hill.
The more appropriate title of Storm
King has been bestowed upon it by the
Poet of Idlewild; but Butter Hill it is,
and Butter Hill it will remain. From
its summit wide, extended view may
be obtained. At our feet the Hudson
expands into a broad, ample bay, on
whose smooth bosom rest the motionless
vessels. The bay itself seems not like
common water. Indeed, were it not for
white-winged vessels, one might think it
portion of Heavens blue canopy, en-
closed, like a beautiful picture, by the
everlasting hills around The pretty
Moodna creek steals out from the west
ern shore to join its waters with the
mighty river; and from its northern
verge juts out the thickly wooded emf
nence of Plum Point, its dark green Co.
liage standing in fine relief tc the sur
rounding water. In tie distance, the
white buildings of Nfewburgh glitter in
the neonday sun. The lofty Beacon
Hills, from whose SUBMITS flashed the
watchfires of the revolution, lie on our
right, with Breakneck and Bull Hill
Mount Taurus) following in their train.
Here the river contracts it's boundaries,
and flows in winding course, amid
scenes of beauty and grandeur, world
famous. Southwark, there meets the
| eye an endless succession of hills and
mountains-among which. directly op-
posite Undercliff ,.rises old Cronest; the
scene of brakes Culprit Fay West,
the view embraces rolling plains, diver
sifed with occasional forests, and at a
seeming stone's-throw from where we
sit, nestles. the prettysyiflage of Canter-
bury, peeping out from among the trees.
To the Northward, the blue peaks ofthe
! Catskill rear their cloud-liko forms in
the air, and shut in the landscape like
a frame. The silence is unbroken, save
by the rush Of the iron horse along the
| track, or the occasional dash of the pad
dle-wheels of a passing steamboat. Such
is faint picture of a very small portion
of the Highland scenery upon the Hud-
/ son. - is@E.s4

LADY LAMBS PASSION FOR
BYRON.
RYRQN.

Several women were in love with BY
ron, but none SO violently as Lady Caro-
line Lamb. She absolutely besiegec
him. He showed me the first letter b.
received from her, in which she assured
him that, if be was in any want ofmoney
"all her jewels were at his service >
They frequently had quarrels; and more
than once, in coming home, / found @.
walking in the garden, and waiting for
me, to beg that I would reconcile them.
When she met Byron at party she
would always, if possible, return home
from it in his carriage, and accompanied
by him. 1 recoilect particularly their
returning to town together from Holland
House. But such was the insanity of
her passion for Byron, that, sometimes,
when not invited to party where he
was to be, she would wait for him in the
street till it was overl One night, after
a great party at Devonshire House, to
which Lady Caroline had not been in
vited, I saw hcr-yes, saw her-talking
to Byron, with half of her body thrust
into the carriage which he had just en-
tered. In spite of all this absurdity,
my firm belief is that there was nothing
criminal between them. Byron, at last,
was sick of her. When their intimacy
was at an end, and while she was living
in the country, she burned, very solemn
ly, on a sort Of funeral pile, transcripts
of all the letters which she had received
from Byron, and cary of miniature
(his portrait) which he had presented
to her-several girls from the neighbor-
hood, whom she had dressed in white
garments, dancing round the pile, and
singing song which she had written for
the occasion, " Burn, ERE, burn" etc.
She was mad and her family allowed
her to do whatever she chose.-Rogers'
Table 1alk.
