THE Word CREoLE.-Some suppose the Creo-
le to be nearly black, imagining the word to be
used ss term of disgrace or reproach. The
Spanish word Crillo Creole was originally ap-
piied to the descendants of whites in Mexico,
South America, and the West Indies, in whom
white blood, unmixed with that of every other
race. existed. This is still the only acceptance
of the term in the West Irdies. A Mulatto is
the offspring of a white and negro, Quadroon'
of white and mulatto, being one-quarter
black a Mustee, of white and quadroon, or
one-eghth black, and Mustatina,, OF white
and Mustee, being one.sixteenth black. Terms
implying much less admixtnre of black blood
are prevalent in Cuba. Creole simply means
white native of those tropical climates.

POETRY
In Ital y.


In Italy.
BY j. BAYARD TAYLOR.
Dear Lillian, all wished is won
sit beneath Italia's sun.
Where olive orchards CLEAN and culver
Along the banks of Amos river.
Through laurel leaves, the dim green light
Falls on my forehead as write,
And the sweet chimes of vesper, ringing,
Blend with the contadiua's singing.
Rich is the soil with Fancy's gold;
The stirring memories of old
Rise thronging in my haunted vision,
And rouse my spirits young ambition
But, as the radiant sunsets close
Above Val d'Arno's bower of rose,
Ny soul forgets the olden glory
And deems our lore dearer story.
Thy words, in memory's ear, outchime
The music of the Tuscan rhyme;
Thou standest here-the gentle hearted
Amid the shades of bards departed!
Their garlands ofimmortal bay,
| see before thee fade away,
And turn from Petrarch's passiou-glances
To my own dearer heart-romances
Sad is the opal glow that fires
The midnight of the cypress spires,
And cold the scented wind that closes
The hearts of bright Etruscan roses
The fair Italian dream chased,
A single thought of thee efiaced;
For the true cline of song and sun
Lies in the heart which mine hath won!
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1857-01-28

THE LEopARD's ATrAoK.-The power of the
leopard is wonderful in proportion to its weight,
have seen full grown bullock with his neck
broken by the leopard that attacked it. 1t is
the popular belief that the effect is produced by
blow OF the paw; this is not the e:-it is
not simply the blow, but it is the combina-
ton of the weight, the power, the momentum of
the spring, which renders the effect of the leop-
ards attack so surprising. Few leopard's rush
boldly to the attack like dog; they stalk their
game, and advance crouchingy, making use of
every object that will afford them cover, until
within few bounds of their prey. Then the
immense power of muscle is displayed in the con-
centrated energy of the spring; he flies through
the air and settles on the throat, usually throw
ing his own body over the animal, while the
teeth and claws are fixed on the neck; this is
the manner in which the spine of the animal is
broken, by sudden spring, and not by q blow
The blow of the paw is, nevertheless, immense
ly powerful, and at one stroke will rip open o
bullock like knife; but the after effects of the
wound are still more to he dreaded than the
force of the blow There is q peculiar poison
in the claw, which is highly dangerous. This is
caused by the putrid flesh which they are con
stantly tearing, and which is apt to cause gan
creme by oculation.-Eight gears IN Csy-

The DAYS of Oueen Mary.

Read the following paragraphs from Black
wood, and say, if you can, that the world has
not advanced in morals and intelligence:
"To give only one or two instances OF the
manners and ideas of the age in which Queen
Mary's lot was cast. 1t is generally known that
Henry VIII. put seventy-two thousand persons,
of all religious persuasions, to death on the scat
fold. during his single reign; but it is equally
well known that his daughter Elizabeth had an
array of three hundred heads of persons, CON
victed of high treason, placed on London Bridge,
including those of her cousin and friend, Nor
folk, and her favorite, romantic lover, Essex (;
and, so far from being shocked at the ghaStly
array, she took the foreign ambassador to see 1t,
in order to show how we serve traitors IN Eng
land Protestant historians have recounted,
with inst indignation, that the bloody Mary cast
two hundred and forty men, women, and chill
dren into the flames during her brief and afro
cious reign; but they have not equally proni-
nently brought forward, that greater number
of priests and Catholic partizanS were, by her
Protestant successor, secretly racked to the ut
most limits which the human frame can endure,
in that awful scene OF human agony, the Tower
of London.
"After the massacre of St. Bartholomew, the
ladies Of the court went ont to examine long
rows of the bodies of the HuguenOt cavaliers,
who had been slain during the tumult and Gu
riously turning them over, when half-stripped of
their garments, said to each other. This must
have been q charming lover; that was not worth
looking at
"And when the fanatic assassin, Ravilliac,
was brought out into the square of Louvre, to
undergo during four hours the most frighttul
tortnres which human ingenuity or malignity
conld devise all the ladies of the court of Paris
assembled to witness the spectacle; and as high
prices were given for the best places on the
street leading to St. Pauls, as on the occasion
when the first and noblest OF Britain attended
her greatest hero TO his last restng-place.
ut is perhaps the most difficult thing, in
surveying the annals of the past, to bring our
selves TO conceive how human beings could, in
any ap4 uuder any circumstances, have been
brnught TO lend themselves to such harbarities
Rut no,b;np is more certain than that the great
a,t ond besf did so. They deemed that they
ware doinp Gnd service when so engaged Wit
ness Sir Thomas More hoeging prisoner with
his own hands. in his garden to convert him
from heresv If we are wise and just. we will
;ndca of those who lived in those savage times
accordne TO the measure of the ideas with
,yh;cb thav were surrounded. and not our own !;
and reflect with deeper thankfulness on our
happier lot when subjects are not called to un-
dergo such sacrifices in their duty to their SOW
ereien. and the queen on the throne can exhibit
tbe spirit of her Pantaganet forefathers, and
the eraces of her Stuart ancestors, without being
exnosed to the terrible trials which either under
went"

NAPOLEON. recent lecture, Mr.. Thacke-
raw introduced personal anecdote apropos of
Napoleon. "When | first saw England, she
was mourning for the young Princess Charlotte,
the hope ofthe empire. came from India as
child, and our ship toucheda at an island on the way
where my black servant took me over the rocks
and hills till we passed garden, where we
saw man walking. That is he,' said the
black man-'Tbat is Bonaparte-he eats up
three sheep every day, and al! the children he
can lay hands upon" There were people in
the British dominions besides that poor black,
who had an equal terror and horror of the Cor

AN ARTFUL MIsER.-Some time ago, gentle
man called upon certain nobleman in Paris,
a very wealthy and inordnately mean character
and found him at the breakfast table, quite
lone, and doing his utmost to catch fly which
was buzzing about the room. "What the deuce
are you about2" demanded the astonished visl-
tor, to whom the spectacle of an old man anu
sing himself by catching flies seemed very sin
gular, to say the least "Hush ~ exclaimed the
other "Ill tell you presently" After many ef-
forts, the old fellow at last succeeded in entrap-
ping the fly. Taking the insect carefully be-
tween his thumb and foretinger, he put it into
the sugar-bowl and quickly dropped the lid over
his prisoner. His visitor, more annoyed, than
ever, knowing as he did the avaricious charac'
ter of the man before him, repeated the question.
"I'll tell you," replied the miser, triumphant
grin overspreading his countenance as he spoke
Il want to ascertain if the servants steal the su'
gar"
