sAGACTTY OF THE BEAR.

Several anecdotes which were related
TO me by our guide, concerning the habits
of the black bear, would seem to entitle
him to a higher position the scale of ani-
NAL instinct and sagacity than that of al
most any other quadruped. For in
stance, he says that before making his
bed to lie down, the animal invariably
goes several hundred yards with the
wind, at distance from his track
Should an enemy now come upon his
track, be must approach him with the
wind and with the bears keen sense of
smell, he is almost certain to be made
aware of his presence, and has time to es-
cape before he is himself seen. He also
states that, when pursued, the bear some
times takes refuge in caves in the earth
or rocks, where the hunter often en-
deavors, by making smoke at the en-
trance, TO force him out but it not I'M
frequently happens that, instead of coming
out when the smoke becomes too oppres-
siye, he very deliberately advances to
the fire, and with his fore feat beets upon
it until it is extinguished ; then retreats
into the cave. This, he assured me he
had often seen. Although those state
ments would seem TO endow bruin with
something more than mere animal instinct
and evince conception of the connection
between cause and effect, yet another
anecdote which was related to me would
go to prove this one quadruped one Of
the most stupid fellows in the brute erea-
ton. My informant says that when the
bear cannot be driven out of the cave by
smoke, it sometimes becomes necessary
for the hunter to take his rife and with
a torch to enter the cave in search of him
One would suppose this very hazardous
undertaking, and that the animal would
soon eject the presumptuous intruder
but, on the contrary, as soon as he see'
the light approaching, he sits upright OIL
his launches, and with his fore-paw
covers his face and eyes, and remains il
this position until the light is removed
Thus the hunter is enabled to approach a
/
close as he desires without danger, ant
taking deadly aim with his faithful rife
poor bruin is slain. These facts hav
been stated to me by three different In
E dams, in whose veracity l have muc
S confidence, and / haye no doubt ar
: strictly true.-Ihe Far Rea.

The GRAVES OF ATTILLA AND
ALARIc.-Attilla died in 453, and was
buried in the midst of vast plain, in
coffin, the first covering of which was
gold, the second silver, and the third
iron. Along with the body were buried
all the spoils of his enemies, harnesses
enriched with gold and precious stones,
rich stuffs, and the most valuable articles
taken from the palaces Of the kings which
he had pillaged and that the place Of
his interment might not be known the
Huns put to death, without exception, all
those who had assisted in his funeral
The Goths had previously done the same
for Alaric, who died in the year 410, al
Cozena, city Of Calabria. They turned
for some days the course of the river
Vasento, and having caused trench tc
be dug in its former channel, where the
stream was most rapid, they buried the
king there along with immense treasures
They put TO death all those who had as
sisted in digging the grave, and restored
the stream to its former bed Godfrey.

COFFEE A POWERFUL ANTIDOTE.-
A very few persons, and believe but a
small number of medical men, know that
Coffee is one Of the most important anti
dOtes 10 many deadly poisons, and to a
great many ordinary drugs. This re-
markable fact leads TO serious considera-
tons; many patients receiving the right
remedies but Lot being prohibited from
taking coffee, destroy the intended effect
Of their medicine, become worse, and
lead the physician to change the right
treatment into false and unhappy one
while the simple knowledge of the
above fact would have contributed to
meliorate their stale and save them
But far more important is il TO know that
the fatal results OF many accidental
spontaneous or criminal imprisonment.
could be stopped almost instantly by adj
ministering that simple antidote, coffee

The STUFFED SKIN OF A ROYAL
CAPTIyE.-Yalerian, Emperor Of Rome,
was taken prisoner, and afterwards kept
in chains, by Sapor, King Of Persia. He
was either killed in tumult, or by order
OF his conqueror-fearful, perhaps, of
losing his valuable living trophy-in the
year 269. The body Of the dead Roman
emperor was treated with no more deli
cacy than when it had tabernacled the
immortal spark Of living one it was
skinned. The hide, after being tanned,
was stuffed, painted red, and suspended
in the chief temple OF the capital. Here
it remained for many years. twas the
popular spectacle Of holiday makers and
visitors from the country. But it was
put TO more important ends than this; it
was made diplomatic engine of much
significance and efficiency. In after times
it often happened that the Roman envoy:
at the Persian court had misunderstood
iDgs, more or less serious, with the gov
eminent to which they were temporarily
accredited. When these ambassador
from Rome grew arrogant in their de
mands, it was the custom 10 conduc
them into the presence Of the stufIe,

where they were asked if humility di,

A LOVERS PLEADING" When i
recall the stories Of my friends" he pas
sionately pleads, 81 could tell you vol
umes of tragedies. One loved a maiden,
and was loved in return; but he was
poor-she was rich. Parents and rela-
tons despised him, and two hearts were
broken. Why? Because II is thought
a misfortune that a lady's dress should
be made from the wool of a plant in
America rather than from the fibres of a
worm in China. Another loved q maid
en-, and was loved in return; but lie was
a ProteStant--She was a Catholic
Mothers and priests disagreed, and two
hearts were broken. Why? Because,
three centuries before, Charles the Fifth,
Francis the First, and Henry the Eighth,
played a political game at chess. A third
loved a maiden, and was loved in return
but he was noble-she was plebeian.-
The sisters were jealous, and two hearts
were broken. Why? Because, hun
dred years ago, a soldier slew another
who was threateninga kings life in bat
tie. He was rewarded with titles and
honor, and his great grandson atOnes
with blighted life, for the blood which
was then shed by him. Each hour, says
the collector Of statistics, some heart i
broken; and we believe it."-FraSer'

TOO LATE.

Itnlia's wales I've wandered through
Beneath her skies unohangiug blue
I've watched the golden sunlight culver
Upon the breast Of Tibers rivers
But Of her dark eyed maids could find
No heart TO love, no spell to bind.
For they had but an outward form
The flame that lights, but cannot warns
As often words Of passion spoken
No feeling Of the heart betoken-
Like tropic waves that brightly glow
When all is dark and cold below,
Through distant lands I've wandered far
Meath southern sun and northern star
To sweeter music have listened,
While brightest eyes with rapture glistenedi
But all how soon they cease to thrill
The moment that the lips are still.
The pale moon ooldiy shines on high,
She lights, but cannot warm the skyi
But smiles Of thine, like suubeams glowing,
Forever round thee radiance throwing,
Rival the ligh, and warmth Of day,
Aud shame the moons pale, frozen ray.
Too soon, alas, too soon has gone
The joy that faded with its dawn;
Stu must dream, while broken-hearted,
Too late we met, too soon We parted;
An adverse star bath ruled my fate
We've met, alas too late, too late!

Though shallower at the springs

This is the contribution that the his
tory of Iowa presents, at the close of its
first decade, to the solution of the prob
lem that now agitates the country. Let
the American people survey the fields
and shops of Iowa--let them look at her
industry, enterprise and cultivation--le,
them compare her with Arkansas, and
then determine whether good policy and
national and catholic ideas, and the glory
of our common country, demand the al
lowance of slavery in the territories.
1t might be more proper to compare
Arkansas with Michigan, and Iowa with
Florida, which are respectively of the
same age. We commend the subject to
students of American history. President
Pierce provokes the investigation by a
special pleading of his Autumnal mes
sage in favor of the new tangled notion
of the equality of the States. Let the
investigation be made.
