Sports Of Animals.

Small birds chase each other in play;
but perhaps the conduct of the crane
and the trumpeter is the most extra
ordinary. The latter stands on one
leg and hops about in the most strange
manner, and throws somersets. Hence
it has been called the mad bird. Wa
ter birds, such as ducks and geese
dive after each other, and clear the sur
face Of the water with erected necks
and tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around. Deer often engage in
sham battle, Or trial Of strength, by
twisting their horns together and push
ing for the mastery. All animals pre-
tending violence in their play stop
short of exercising it. The dog takes
the precaution not to iniure by his
bite; and the baboon in wrestling with
his keeper pretends to throw him. and
makes feints of hitting him. Some
animals carry ont in their play the sem
blance of catching their prey. Young
cats, for instance, leap after every
small moving object, even to the leaves
strewed by the atumn wind; they
crouch and steal forward, ready for a
spring. The body quivering and the
eyes glaring with emotion, they bound
on the leaf, and again spring forward
to another. Birds of the magpie tribe
are the analogies of monkeys, full of
mischief, play, and mimicry. | once
heard a story Of tame magpie that
was seen busily employed in the gar
den gathering pebbles and with much
solemnity and studying air buryiug
them in hole made to receive a post.
After dropping each stone it cried
"Curraof" triumphantly, and set of
for another. On examining the spot,
a poor toad was found in the hole,
which the magpie was stoning for his
amusement.

A Snake Story.
Aruthian Abovian, relates the fol-

Aruthian Abovian, relates the fol
lowing story:
"once in my YOUTH" said he q
went to Bayazid in Asia Minor
While sauntering about Bazaar, my at
tention was arrested by man of
wretched and melancholy appear
ance restlessly wandering about and
trembling incessantly. On inquiring
the cause Of his miserable condition,
the following story was told me. He
was once a linen weaver, and resided
at a village at the foot of Mount Ara
rat. Falling in love with his masters
wife, he induced her to fly with him;
they betook themselves to the noun
tains, and at evening reached cave.
where the woman rested while he went
to seek provisions. After short alb
sence he returned, but great was his
horror at beholding the woman in the
Jaws of a monstrous snake, which had
already swallowed half her person, and
was only prevented from completing
its repast by her outstretched arms.
"'Cut the snake with your sabre,
cried she to the man, or split its jaws
on each sider But the man was petri-
fed with fear. At last she entreated
hand me the sabre and let me rescue
myself Her cries were in vain, for
he had lost all power Of exertion.-
'Ahr she then exclaimed in despair,
L see you are a coward; will i've nc
longer;' and closing her arms over her
head, she Immediately sank into the
belly of the monster. Then the man
saw the snake coil itself round a pill
lar Of basalt, to crush the bones Of its
victim, and he heard the smotherine
shrieks of the woman within it. Half
insane with terror and remorse, he
rushed from the cave, and ever after
wandered about, the wretched being

A Remarkable Executioner,

We have observed aeveral wonder
full stories Of late, respecting the skill
OF the Chinese executioners, who, it is
said, can strike off the heads of their
victims so skillfully that the poor fell
lows themselves never discover their
loss until a moment or two after they
are dead. We recall to mind howev-
er, the story of a German executor,
who, far surpassed the Chinese in pro
fessional dexterity Upon one occasion,
it happened that a criminal who was
condemned to death had singular
itching to play at nine-pins; and he
implored permission to play once more
at his fayorite game before he died
Then, he said, he would submit to his
fate without a murmur. The Judge
thinking there could be no harm in hui
moring him, granted his last prayer;
and upon arriving at the place Of exc
cution he found every thing prepared
for the game-the pins being set up
and the bowls being all ready. He
commenced his fayerite sport with en-
thusiasm. After while the Sheriff
observing that he showed no inclina-
ton to desist, made sign to the exc
cutioner to strike the fatal blow while
he was STOPPING for bowl. The exc
cutioner did so, but, with such exquisite
Idextority that the culprit did not no
tice or feel it. He thought, indeed,
that cold breath of wind was blow
ing upon his neck, and drawing him
self back with a shrug, his head drop
ped forward into his hands. lie ma
turally supposed that it was a bowl
which he had grasped, and seizing it
firmly, rolled it at the pins. All Of
them fell, and the head was heard to
exclaim as it rebounded from the far
ther wall, ''Hurrah! I've won the
garaeH'-PorJolio.

ing at thin place in the ice, and
seemed almost furnished for water
When he saw me he started in full
run for the river bottom. | kept upon
his heels, and tried to ride upon him.
He was almost exhausted, and just
as supposed he would give out, he
slipped into the hollow of a large cot
ton wood tree. | stopped up the hole
through which he entered, and came
back to town and got an axe and the
dogs, and then with the assistance of
William Palmer and Frank Mahan,
together We all returned to cut him
out. The dogs were anxious, and we
were prepared with our guns to receive
him. when We made large hole,
about four feet from the ground, the
dogs jumped at it on the outside and
the wolf on the inside, and such growl-
ing and snapi ing never heard be
fore.
1t made the woods resound for a
great distance and brought several Of
the neighbors to the spot.
Things continued so for a while,
and we consulted what had best be
done. We could not shoot the wolf
through the opening without too great
a risk Of killing the dogs, for he only
appeared at the inside when the dogs
were at the outside. We finally con
cluded to stop the hole we had made,
and fell the tree by cutting narrow
cash around it. The tree came down
a little sooner than We expected
Frank Mahan had the axe lifted for
another stroke, as it went over with a
crash.
The wolf, with bristled back and
glaring eyes, and glistening teeth leap
ed at his throat with terrible ferocity.
The descending axe met half way,
cleaving its scull and laying the ami
nal dead at his feet. We had no time
to express our wonder and congratula-
tons at his narrow escape, before our
attention was called to that which FL
led us with amazoment, if not dread.
1t was a human skeleton Of medium
size, and Of female, hidden in the
cavity Of the tree. It's posture was
erect, and the bones were held togeth-
er By kind of clear integument, that
seemed to cover, like a transparent
skin, the entire frame. The jar Of
the felled tree severed several of the
Joints, and we drew them all out and
placed them again in form.
The proportions were perfect and
the limbs straight-indicating a con-
tour, when in flesh, of perfect symetry.
Who could it have been that thus per-
ished years ago in this wild forest, and
how came her death in this strange
place, were queries that were immedi-
ately suggested. Could it have been
some maiden who, like the bride in
the "Nlistoe Bough," had concealed
herself from her lover in the heart of
this old tree, and become fastened there
and died!"

GFN. BoUNcE's VIEWS ON MAR
Marriage, Charley" said
the General, oracularly, with solemn
shake Of the head, Marriage is like
that empty decanter. 1t comes in
sparkling and blushing, like sunrise on
a May mourning. What! You draw
the cork, and the first glass is heaven
upon earth-that's the honeymoon;
then you ill another-same flavor, but
not quite equal to the first. Never
mind, try again; so you keep slipping
and slipping, to analyze if you can the
real taste Of the beverage, and before
You can satisfy yourself you come to
the end Of the bottle; then, sir, when
you get to the bottom, you can see
through it, and You viii find how emp
" it is"

NUMBER "a.

BEAUTIFUL SIMILE.-Sir Walter
Scott in his Woodstock, remarks, with
rare felicity: "There is, | know not
why, something peculiarly pleasing to
the imagination, in contemplating the
Queen of Night, when she is ,cdding,
as the expression is, among the yapors
witch she has not the power to dispel,
and which on their side are unable en-
tirely to quench her lustre. 1t is the
striking image of patient Virtue, calm
ly treading her path through good and
bad report, having that excellence IN
herself which ought to command all ad.
miration, but bedimmed in the eyes OF
the world, by suffering, by misfortune,
by calamity"

DIGGER WOMEN ON THE TURF.-
The Mariposa correspondent of the
Stockton Republican, announces the
following race ae having come off at
French Camp, on Frezno, a few days
ago. 1t was an Indian squaw foot-race,
distance three hundred yards, purse
$50. Messrs. Shannon and Craddock
entered "Mustang," and Bourland and
Roane entered "Chutilea." The race
came off in the presence of large
number of Americans, about one hun
drcd Indians, an1 a few Celestials.-
They made a Handsome start, Mustang
taking the lead and coming through
the pools about ten feet in advance of
her antagonist. Her hackers banter
her to run against any woman in the
State, without regard to age or weight,
any distance from three hundred yards
up to three miles, for $500 a side.

INDUSTRY. - Every young man
should remember that the world will al
ways honor industry. The vulgar and
useless idler, whose energies Of body
and mind are rusting for want of occu-
patton, may look with scorn on the Ia
borer engaged at his toll; but his scorn
is praise, his contempt honor. Dean
Swift says he never knew man to rise
to eminence who lay in bed of morn
ing; and DR.. Franklin says ''he who
rises late, may trot all day, but never
overtake his business"

Adventure with a Wolf.

The Kansas correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican tells the following
story:
"A few days since, while riding in
the rear Of our town, in small ravine,
through which a streamlet takes Its
quiet way beneath its crystal covering
and whose irrigation has produced tall
grasses and shrubs that make a hiding
place for game, came, suddenly up
m large black Wolf. He vas scratch
