tage. But Hildegarde was on her guard
and though she listened with bushes that
indicated no very serious displeasure to
the glowing protestations, and passionate
beseechipgs of her royal lover he could
not fiatter himself with the belief that he
made any progress toward the consumma-
tion of his desire on such terms as he pro-
posed. Discr tand virtuous Hide garde !!
Their ~ der converse was suddenly in
terrupted b5 low, hoarse, muttering roar,
by no mems well-adapted for on obligato
accompa niment to tale of love. Hide
gard e, who had heard no such sound before,
and knew not what to make of it, checked
her horse in ething like alarm; but

iliar, hastily pushed forward, With speech
and gesture, warning her TO beware of ap-
preaching danger. In another moment
huge wild bull lashing his sides and glaring
6ercely with his fiery eyes, burst though
copse that skirted the path and made rush
upon the King.
i have no taste or genius for descriptions
of battle, human, bCstial, or mixed ; so [
leave my readers to imagine what tussle
there was between the rival monarchs
The upshot of it was, that Taurus proved
himself the stronger, orat least the most
fortunate; the Kings spear was broken,
and with feelings by no means comfortable
or complacept, he saw this animal rushing
upon him, and himself entirely defenceless.
How it would have sped with him, we may
conf ectme, but not declare the probabili-
ty is, that Charlemagne would have slaugh-
tered no more Moslems, had it not been for
the courageous Princess, who, spurring her
steed to the rescue, gave the bull such
a stringing poke with her lance, as quite
diverted his attention from his first enemy.
Before he could recover from his astonish-
ment, she had given her lance to the King
and sped away, leaving the battle to be
decided by the original combatants. Char
lemagne was not long in completing what
the damsel had SO well begun, and soon
rejoined the Princess, to pour out his ad,
miration and gratitude, by declaring her
his preserver, and pledging his royal word
that she should be bis Queen. And so she
was

No EXCUSE FOR DIssIPATIoN.-The
object of dissipasion is undoubtedly enjoy
ment. desire to be happy; but such pleas
ures last on y for moment, and never fail
to leave their sting behind. The world is
not so destitute of curiosity and beauty, as
to make it necessary for us to drink Of the
foul and poisonous sediment of corrupt
pleasure in order to recreate our spirits, or
to while away valuable time to no purpose.
Earth, air, and ocean, are filed with num-
berless beauties, which are directly calcu-
lated to awaken pleasurable thoug hts and
emotions in every well ordered mind. Eve
ry sunbeam is winged with glory, and "ev-
cry rain-drop falls as if it we're benedic-
tion from the skies" Is not earth beauti-
full, when in our daily walks so much of
gladness meets US at every turn When
in our labors of hand there is often min
gled so much of real pleasure; when In
our homes there is SO much happiness il
the society of friends; when in music, il
books, IN innocent spots and games, in the
walk, the ride, the social festivity, sucf
ample and various means are provided fol
all reasonable exhilaration, who would ir
his better moments wish to plunge into tn,
glddy world of fashionable dissipation

Eight Drinking Families.

The following startling statements are
made by the New York Cabinet, respecting
eight different families in single town =
Their parents were moderate drinkers.
Can heads of families read these facts
without concern?
The first had one child, daughter. A
great sum was expended on her education.
She died from the effects of Strong Drink.
The second had an only son. He was
educated with great care and an great ex-
pense, but was killed by wine.
The third had four sons and one daugh-
ter. The daughter is drunkard, and one
son has gone to drunkard's grave.
The fouth had three sons One died of
intemperance, one was killed in duel, and
the other is drunkard.
The fifth had son who killed himself
by drinking, and two step-sons are drum
kards on wine.
The sixth had FIVE sons. Four are drum
kards, and one through the influence of liz
quor is an idiot
The eight had FIVE sons and three neph-
ews. Four Of the sons have been killed by
alcohol, and the fifth is drunkard and
the three nephews, are in the drunkard' s
grave.

Steam Saw Mil Bnrnt. The steam
saw mill of MIR. j. L. Kitchen, about
nine miles from Tarboro', n. c., acci-
dentally caught fire few nights since,
and was partially consumed, together
with large quantity of lumber. The
loss is estimated at about $500
The fire originated in pile of slabs.
Mr.. Kitchen expects to get his mill IN
order again in few weeks.
Monotony Unhealthtut. An occa-
sional /" change" of air, of scene, Diet,
of occupation, of thought, OF study
and of society, is beneficial IN many
cases, especially for inValids, Monoma-
MIA, dyspepsia, debility, narrow views
and one-ideaism, are among the evils
of a perpetual monotony.

The MoTHER.-A writer beautifully re-
marks, that mans mother is the represen-
tative of his Maker. Misfortune, and even
crime, set no barriers between her and her
son. While his mother lives, he has one
friend on earth who will not listen when he
is slandered, who will not desert him when
he suffers, who will soothe him in his sor-
row, and speak to him Of hope when he is
ready to despair. Her affections know NO
ebbing tide. They flow on from pure foun.
tain, and speak happiness through this vale
Of tears, and cease only at the ocean of eter-
nifty.

BE CAREFUL WITH THE GUANo.-It
may not be as generally known as it should
be that great danger may be incurred by
the reckless handling Of guano. We un-
derstand that cases have occurred Of persons
having cuts upon their fingers who, in
handling this manure, have received a
deadly poison into the system. The gu
ano contains an organic element which is
lust as certain to operate against life if it
once reaches the blood, as the corruption
of body that gets into wound upon the
person of the dissector Farmers should
be aware of this fact and be cautious. We
hear of death from this cause occurring
within few daysin a neighboring county
Thila. american.
More deeply, fearfully crimson are now
the foot prints of the rum trafhc. Died
drunk p is now heard all over the land
The victims, however, 60 down like bubbles.
The public eye never turns back of these
terrible tragedies to look upon the crushing
sorrows of living hearts which were bound
to the dead.
