A Pious DARKEY.-Aunt Dinah, a ne
gro woman, soon after having experienced
religion, stole goose, to make merry with
her consort, from neighboring plantation.
OF course she was whipped, for the good
Of the others as well as of herself. Soon
after these circumstances, communion was
TO take place in the neighborhood, and Di-
nah prepared to go.
Her mistress demonstrated with her, and
mentioned the goose affair as suGcien,
reason for her not to offer herself ON such
holy occasion. To which Dinah replied
"Lor, missus, | amt gwine to turn my
back on my Dressed massa for an old goose!'

Pretty Rabid.

An old man and his son, neither of them
very well informed as to railroads and their
use, CHANGED one day to be at work in a field
near railroad track. Railroads were q
novel 'institution'' 10 them, and when a
train of cars shot by, thought was sugges-
led TO the lad, who said to his parent:
dad, why don't you take ride in the
cars, some day2"
"Take ride in the cars? Why, haint
got time, my son"
HGot time? Thunder! Ye can 60 any
where in the cars quicker than we can stay
at home,"

COUNTING.

Boys, when you court,
You should deport
Yourselves with circums pection,
It's sin ,--4
IS To seek to win
And trifle with affection.
Nor, when sincere
The men appear
In gallantry and wooing,
Can woman jilt y
Without the guilt
or similar misdoing.
Too many court
In though,less sport,
Nor think when they have parted
On what they've done
The loving one
Left courted broken.hearted.
Too many jill
With equal guilt,
Nor think, while thus they trife,
That MEN have hearts
To feel loves darts,
Though they their feelings stihe.
In all we do
We should be true,
Nor raise an expectation,
Unless It's meant,
To full extent.
To meet the obligation.

HuNGARY.-An English traveller has
forwarded TO the London Times an inter-
esting letter on the present condition OF
Hungary. and its treatment by the Aus
TRANS. The conduct Of the Emperor and
of his Minister, Bach, towards unhappy
Hungary, is as bad as that Of King Ferdi-
nand towards Naples. Hungary is treat
ed as conquered country, pillaged and
insulted. Soldiers are sent into the villa
ges, and are quartered on all the inhabit-
ants, except on the mobiles who are in the
employment oithe Emperor.
The ancient colors Of Hungary are three
stripes ofgreen, red aud white. The frs.
has been erased from their banners. At this
all are furious, and even those in the en-
ployment Of the crown barely conceal their
indignation, for there is probably no people
SO madly attached to their country as the
Hungarians. The hatred Of all classes to
the Austrians in general, and especially
to the Emperor and his Minister, Bach, is
rs invetera,e as it is isltaly, aud scarcely
any disguise their wish that the Russians
had kept possession ofthe country, and that
they might never have gone back under
the hated rule Of the treacherous house Of
Hapsburg; but they are no republicans.

ANTS AND THEIR Cows.-Tbe cunu;n.

ANTS AND THEIR Cows.-The cunning
ants keep cows in their stables Almost
every ant hill, belonging to one variety
has beetle in it. who lives, rears fam
lily, and dies among them. welcome and
honored companion. When the ants
meet him, they stroke and caress him
with their antenua in return he offers
them sweet liquid that oozes out under
their wings. and Of which the little topers
are passionately fond. So great is their
attachment to the old confectioner, that
they seize him in time of danger, and carry
him off to place of safety /; the conquer
ors of an invaded nation spare the sweet
beetle, and what is, perhaps more surpri-
sing. his maggot and chrysalis, though Ut
terly useless, are as safe among their wise
hosts as if they also possessed the luscious
honey. Other ants again, keep countless
aphides, that 81, on the tender green leaves
Of juicy plants, as on green meadows, and
suck away so Justify, that their delicate
little bodies swell like the udders Of cows
on rich spring pasture. At that season
the ants have to feed their young with more
delicate food than their own they stroke
and caress their tiny mich cows, gather
the nutricious fluid that pours forth under
their sagacious treatment and carry it drop
by drop to their nurseries.
