/ AN AmAnLE AMUSEMENT OF THE LION
Among the numerous fearful stories with which
Gerard. the French lion tanner, re2ales his
readers. we find the following description of
trait in the character Of the king Of beasts
The lion treats man very differently from
any animal that be is accustomed to kill for
food. If be kills a person who has fred at him
he never eats the body. If he meets In bis
nightly promenade man well clothed in bugn-
Gus, his experience shows him that be is not a
marauder, and he may either kill him for food,
or If the fancy happens to take him, he Will
Kill him by fear, little by little, just as past
time.
In the first case he will give him barely time
to say his prayers, and then bounding on him,
will crush bis head with single bite, instead
of strangling him, as he is accustomed to do
with other animals.
In the second case he sometimes will bar the
passage of the unfortunate fellow by lying
down before him, and then be will walk along
by his side, purring aud showing his teeth like
tiger. Sometimes he makes believe to go
away and leave him alone, and then making q
long detour he will conceal himself along the
path, and charge at him with roar. Some
times he crouches down like cat and bounds
on bis victim, who gives himself up for lost ;
but the tantalizer only knocks him over with
his paw, or walking around him, be strikes him
in the face a blow like a fail with bis muscular
tail AT last the victim succumbs to the agony
that is worse than a thousand deaths, and dies
of very fear. - :,
These pastimes of the lion. as one can we'll
imagine, have never been told by the victim
himself but are reported by bis comrades, who
having been in company, sought safety by
fight by taking refuge on rocks or trees, while
the poor soul that was captured too much
frightened to initiate their example, died before
their eyes, of terror, while they could do moth
ing for his relief but pray to the prophet, who
only heard when it was too late to save.
These attacks, SO horrible in their fasclna-
tion, have given a certain semblance OF proof
to the universally accredited belief in the mag
neti2ing power of the lion.

ANEcDorE on MoRpHY.-The Paris corre

ANECDOTE Oh mOhfhl'-AhC AoAS eVAASo
pondent of the National Intelligencer says:
The following story has been related to me
illustrative of the philosophy of chess, game
which enjoys the traditional admiration OF DR.
Franklin, as requiring the exertion Of every
originating faculty of the mind. In the course
of one of those games between Messrs Morphy
and Andersen, move Of the former excited
much surprise among the bystanders
He had declined to take piece, which, ap-
parenily, an exchange of knights would have
resulted. it was thought, conclusively in his ia
vor The game proceeded, nevertheless, with
out verbal comment, and was rapidly won by
Mr.. Morphy. No sooner did he deliver the
"checkmate," than one of the most intense
lookers-on, breathless with pent-up emotion,
exclaimed:
'sFor The love of Heaven tell me why you
did not take the knight?"
Because said Mr.. Morpby, all alive to the
nature of friends concern, lit was deep laid
plot. In few moves should have lost the
game by stalemate. Mr.. Andersen saw the
game was desperate, and he planned this snare
for me-"
So saying, he replaced the pieces as they had
been at the critical moment, and demonstrated
the result by series of moves which would
have been inevitable had he taken the knight.
"Was not right, Mr. AnderssenW
"Precisely," CALCULATED the bewildered gen.
tleman, thinking, possibly, that the Prince of
Darkness was not without share in the COM
petition of the young stranger.

AWKWARD WTNEss.-Sergent Cookie, who
was rough, clustering fellow, once got from
witness more than he gave. In q trial of o
right of fishery, he asked the witness
"Dost thou love fish ?" raef
"Ay," responded the witness, with grin,
"but donna like cookie sauce with it."
The roar of laughter which echoed through
the court rather disturbed the learned Ser
geant.
There is an anecdote something similar rela-
ted Of Sergeant Davy, a great lawyer of the
last age. A gentleman once appeared in the
Court of Kings Bench, to give bail in the sum
of $4,000. Sergeant Davy, wanting to display
his wit, said to him sternly:
"And pray, sir, how do you make out that
you are worth G3,000?"
The gentleman stated the particulars of his
property up to e2.940.
"Thats all very good" said the Sergeant,
"but You want sixty pounds mere to be worth
the e3,000."
"For that sum-" replied the gentleman, in
no way disconnected, "I have note of hand OF
one Sergeant Davy, and hope he will have the
honesty to settle it."
The laughter that this reply excited extend
ed even to the bench; the Sergeant looked
abashed, and Lord Mansfield observed, in his
usual urbane tone:
swell. brother Davy, think we may accept
the bail"

AGE AND INTELLECT.-The difference of age
at which the intellect and imagination of men
mature, is very striking The warm and ar
dent temperament of youth, has given birth to
many of the noblest creations in music, paint
ing, and poetry; but no less fine productions
have been evinced by the efforts Of ripper years.
Chatterton wrote what has since been the ad-
mraton and wonder of the world, exhausted
all desire of life, and saw nothing better than
death at the early age of eighteen. Byron and
Burns, after filling the world with immortal
poetry and lyrics, died each in his thirty-sev-
enth year. Raffel also perished at thirty-seven,
but not till he had wrought Immortality for his
name by his creations of divine beauty. Mo-
zart died still earlier. There is no doubt that
the genius of all these had reached its full me-
ridian; If, indeed, that of some Of them was not
decidedly on the wane. On the other hand,
Handel was forty-eight before he gave assnr-
ance of his great powers of Intellect. Dryden
when he first went to London, at the age of
thirty-hve, did not know he could write o line
of poetry, and yet the vigor and ease with
which he afterwards wrote, gives evidence of
the strength Of his pen. Milton was over fifty
when he began his great work. Sir Walter
Scott was upwards of thirty before he COM
menced to publish, and all bis greatness was to
come.

We have been friends together,

Since first beneath the chestnut tree
In infancy we play'd;
But coldness dwells within thy heart,
A cloud is on thy brow
We have been friends together,
Shall light word part us nows
We have been friends together,
We have laugh'd at little iests,
For the fount Of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous in our breasts
But laughter has now fed thy lip,
And sullen glooms thy brow
We have been friends together,
Shall light word part us nowa
We have been sad together
We have wept with bitter tears
0'er the grass-grown graves where slumber'd
The hopes of early years.
Those voices which are silent
Would bid thee clear thy brow

A small mortar was fired by the inventor al
the rate of one hundred shots per minute
without flashing, smoke, or noise The same
power can, it seems, be adapted to every sys-
tenn of mechanical invention, and is destined to

THE REASON WHY.

no Won wish to know the reamn
Why your neighbor often calls
On the dashing Widow Wilkins,
And attends her to the balls
Why bis carriage is seen stopping
All some noted clothing store,
And the widow goes a shopping
Where she never went beforey
If you wish it, will tell you--
Let me whisper to you sly
If they esteem it proper,
1t Is not your business why.
Do you wish to know why Peter
Has forsaken friends and home,
And left his native country
In distant land to roam
Why Polly seems so lonely
Since the day that Peter left9
And Of all the friends, she the only,
Should appear to be bereftf
If you wish II, win tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If they have reason for it,
IT Is not your business why.
Would you like to know the secrets
OF YOUR neighbours house and lifef
How he lives, or how be doesn't,
And lust how he treats his witey
How he spends bis time of leisure,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert. or the play? .
Ifyou wish 1t, ] will tell you
Let me whisper TO you sly
Hyour neighbor is but civil,
II is not your business why.
In short, instead of prying
INTO other folks affairs,
If you do your own but justice
You will have no time for theirs.
Ne attentive to such matters
As concerns yourself alone,
And whatever fortune flatters,
Let your business be your own.
One word by way OF fnis-
Let me whisper TO you sly
Il you wish to be respected
You must cease to be pry.
