MORE hay.

The following story may have been
heard in the more than one Yankee hay
field last summer. A jolly hay maker re-
lated to us the anecdote Of the old man
who was always Dragging how folks used
to work in his younger days. and chal-
lenged both of his sons together to pitch
on a load of hay as fast as he could load
it.
The challenge was accepted, and the
hay wagon driven around, and the trial
commenced. For some time the old man
held his W very creditably calling out
tauntingly-" More hayl more hayl'
Thicker and faster it came, whole hay
cocks at a time, cloud after cloud over
whelming. The old man was nearly 0
cred up; still he kept crying. " More hayl
more hay!' until struggling to keep on the
top of the disordered, and i'll arranged
Heap it began first to roll, and then to
slide, and at last off it went from the wag-
on, and the old man with it.
What are you down here for?" cried
the boys.
" came down here after hay?'' answer.
ed the old TAI stoutly.
Which was a literal fact; he had come
down after the wagor load, which had to
be pitched on again rather deliberately.

Novel Attachment.

One of those singular cases of attach.
inent, which we occasionally hear of be,
tween animals Of the most dissimilar ma
lures, exists between a pig belonging to
Mr.. John Grover Of this city, and a half
grown cat. Shortly after purchasing the
pig, and placing him in his new quarters,
a kitten, less than two weeks old, belong
ing to a litter living in the loft, above the
sly, accidentally fell into the porker's
premises. The pig, instead Of eating the
puny intruder, as most OF his relatives
would have done, seemed pleased with her
company, and showed her every attention
consistent with her hoggish nature. How
she was sustained during the FIRST few
weeks, when she needed a mothers care.

A Bold Adventure.

A curious story Of imposture, luck. and
address, has lately come to light in Spain.
An eloquent Bishop Of the Roman Church,
has been condemned to eighteen years
Imprisonment, for climbing up' into his
high office by a decidedly round about
way. He had been a soldier, and first
assumed the priests Office as a disguise,
for the purpose of descrtion. He went
to Portugal, and passed himself off as a
regimental Chaplain; performing his part
so well, that the ecclesiastical authorities
of the district soon gave him curacy. In
this be distinguished himself by his elo-
quence, and was invited to Lisbon, where
he became highly popular as a preacher,
and was eventually consecrated as a Bisshh-
OPP. He was lately detected By an old
comrade: and the inquiry which followed
resulted in kis arrest and conviction
The Pope, it is said, has decided that his
ecclesiastical acts must be held valid.

The Outer and the Inner World.

There are some who seem to live en-
tirely in the outer world; while others
find their true position in the inner-a
few live in each alternately.
The first are such as seize the pleasures
of the present. with no thought Of the fu-
ture, and find matter for enjoyment and
mirth in almost any class of externals in
to which they may be thrown. The sec
ond are contemplative, sensitive and pc.
etic; their thoughts are with the glories
of the past, the localities of the present,
the bright hopes Of the future. They
merely live in the outer world; their
pleasures are all drawn from the inner
The few Of the third class, combine a hap
ply admixture Of reality and idealty. To-
day they live in the outer world to-mor-
row in the inner. They laugh with the
cheerful, and dance gay, yet deep within
their souls a contemplative, sensitive, po-
etc, gem, which, ever anon, shines forth
amid the grosser glare of outward formal
tiles.

Capture of a Huge Panther.

On the 22d ult., Mr.. Samuel r.. Hart,
of Appleton, went out with a neighbor to
look for a stray colt, taking with him his
trusty for the purpose Of killing any wild
game he might chance to see. After
travelling some two miles or more, he
came upon the track of some wild animal
and as the tracks were large and siagu-
lar, he gave up looking for the pony, and
with his excellent dog tramped off in
search of an adventure. In a short time
the dog freed the game. but before Hart
could reach the spot they were off again.
Pretty 500 however, they stopped, and
when Hart came up, the dog had a huge
panther, one Of the largest ever heard OF
in the West, at bay. and neither of them
seemed disposed at once to commence the
life struggle they knew was at hand
There was an unlocked for encounter, a
kind of game few men care to look for
There was no time for deliberation. Re-
treat might be certain death, and to fire
and not kill the huge monster would be
attended with ever great hazard.
The dog had shown fight, but the sud
den appearance Of Mr.. Hart seemed to
throw the panther into a quandary wheth-
err to attact him or the dog. JUST as the
panther was apparently about to spring
for the dog. Hart drew his rife to his
shoulder and fred, only wounding the
animal by breaking bis fore shoulders
To say that Hart was not now alarmed
at his own situation would be true, for
the reason that he did not stop to think,
but loaded that rife in quicker time than
he ever loaded one before, and before the
the now Infatuated beast could make a
spring for him he again fred, shooting
him through the head and killing him in
stantly. The panther was brought to
town and exhibited to large crowds, ex-
citing universal surprise at the size and
evident age, the more especially as but one
of the species has been found in this sec
ton Of Wisconsin within a period of
eleven years. From the end of his nose
to the tip ofhis tail, this panther measu-

The Departed Year.

Midnight! The year is fed. Turn back thine eve
Along thy path of life, and mark the way
er which thy soul, with many a tear and sigh,
Hath reached the dying years departed day;
Hopes blighted, love estranged, and friends grown
cold,
The gorgeous dreams of youth in darkness lost,
These are the wrecks our saddened eyes behold
On iifes dark sea, all wild and tcmpest-tossed
UT II thy way were decked with tree and flower,
And calm blue skies were brightly DER thee

Should whisper-know thy happiest year is fed
Hark! on the breeze the lingering echoes swell:

Females Wanted.

The last census of Oregon, exhibits q
remarkable disparity of the sexes
While the males number 10000, there are
only 16 5000 females. This excess Of males
is one Of the peculiar phenomena Of our
new territories, and is to be found, more
or less, in all of them. It arises from the
great number of single young men who
emigrate in search of better fortune to
the new settlements, where land is cheap,
work abundant. and the means Of living
easier Of access.

With eyes that beam with Joy and radiant smiles,
We greet the coming of the newborn year;
Our spirits still-forgetful of its wiles-
Undying Hope with magic light does cheer.
What dreams are ours! the fragrant breath of Spring
The flowers of Summer, and the Autumn skies,
Before the opening year be past, shall bring
New bliss and bounty to our hearts and eyes;
Oh! tell us not, with sorrows sickening blight,
The phantom, Hope, shall mock our souls again
Say not that, trusting in its ftfuI light,
We dream Of joy, and wake to bitter pain,
But render thanks to HEAVEN that flowers conceal,
In all our way, the thorns that time may yel
reveal.

Gentle words.

The sun may warm the grass to life,
The dew the dropping flower,
The eyes grow bright and watch the light
OF Autumn's opening hour
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the Summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
1t is not much the world can give.
With all its subtle art
Ana4gold and gems%are not the things
To satisfy the heart,
But oh, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles.
How beautiful is earth
