which takes place towards the end Of
January, He has first to seek his wife;
but as the males are more abundent than
The females, who are often cut of in in-
fancy, tits not rare to 6nd young lady

gallsnts. Who quarrel with the aeerbity
Of JEALOUS lovers. II any Of them does
not succeed in disabling Or driving away
the other, madam. impatient and dissatis-
fed, leads theih into the presence cf al
old lion, whose roars she has appreciated
at distance. The lovers fly at him with
the temeriiy Of youth and exasrctaton.
The old fellow receives them with calm
assurance. breaks the neck Of the first
with his terrible jaws. smashes the leg
Of the second and tears out the eye of
the third. No sooher is the day won and
the field clear than the lion tosses his
name in the air as he roars, and then
crouches by the side Of the lady who as
a areward for his courage, licks his wounds
caresshgly.
| Whentwo adult lions are rivals, the ems
counter is more serious. An Arab.
perched in tree one night. saw a lioness
followed by tawny lion, with full. grown
name, she lay down at the foot off the tree
the lion stopped on his path and seemed
TO listen, The Arab then heard the
distant growing Of a lion, which was
instantly replied to by the lioness under
the tree. This made her husband roar
furiously. The distant lion was heard
approaching, and as he came hearef the
lioness roared louder, which seemed to
agilate her husband, fot be matched to-, :,
ward her as il to force her to be silent;
and then sprang back to his old post, roar
ing defiance at his distant riyal. This
co tinued for about an hour, when
black lion made his appearance on the
plain. The loness arose as II to 60 to-
wards him; but her husband, guessing
her intent, n, bounded to wards his rival.
The two crouched and sprang upon each
other. rolling On the grass In the inBrace
of death. Their bones cracked, theft
flesh was torn, their cries Of rage and
agony rent the air, and all this time the
lioness crouched and aagged her tail
slowly in sight Of satisfaction. When
the combat ended, and both warriors
stretched on the plain, she arose, smslt
them, satisfied herself that they were
dead and trotted off quite egardlsss ofths
unconplimen:ary epitaph.
This Gerard tells us, is an example OF
the conjugal fidelity Of milady whefeas

and is quite pattern ofcontugal stteH.

great favorite with the late Judge Nox.
Once while visiting the Judge, the latter
invited him to walk over the premises
Among other places they visited the barn
yard, and the Squire was struck with ad-
miration as he gaEed upon the noble
herd Of cows which had just been driven
up for milking. He talked as elaborate.
ly Of their different good points as would

was he knew the next thing to nothing
about stock, and some Of the good points
he spoke Of caused the Judge a hearty
laugh in the sleeve.
"Well, Squire" !" said the Judge.
(which Of these cows will you take?
(which Will take?" said the Squire,
not knowing the Judges meaning.

"lf you accept the present, you must
make the selection. Being quite good
judge Of stock, you will not be likely to
cheat yourself" and the eccentric Judge
smiled to himself.
The Squire rubbed the gold bowed
spsctae!es, and began to view the cows
with critics precision. After much
serutinising, he said:

A List of Wonders.


Among the thousands Of marvellous in
ssntions which American genius has pro-
duced. are the following, complied into
abstracts from the Patent 0 flee Report.
Read them over and then say, if you
Sah, there is nothing new under the
sun:
The report explains the principle of the
celebrated Ho BIB lock. Its "unpickabili.
ty' depends upon q secondary or false
set Of tumblers. which prevent instru.
mehts used in picking from reaching the
real ones. Moreover, the lock is powder
proof, and may be loaded through the
|tey hole, and fired off till the batglar is
tired Of bis fruitless work, or fears that
the explosions will bring to view his
experiments more Witnesses than be de-
sires.
Doors and shutters have been patented
that cannot be broken through With eth
er pick or sledge hammer. The burglars
occupations gone.
A harpoon is described which makes
the whale kill himself. The hfofe he
pulls the line the deeper goes the haf-
poon.
An ice making machine has been pat
ented which is worked by steam engine.
In an experimental tria1:it frozs several
bottles Of sherry, produced blocks Of ice
the size Of cubic foot when the ther-
mometer was up to eighty degrees. It's
calculated that for every ton Of coal
put into the furnace, it will make ton Of
ice.
From Dr.. Gales examiners report, We
gather some idea Of the value OF patents.

. A Great Country.


The Rev. Bishop Pierce. Of the Meth:
odist Episcopal Church South, gives the
following picture of the State of Texas
Texas is curious country-a paradox.
Everything is in the superlative, or con-
Trajectory, or marvellous. 1t is the riches
and the poorest-has the best land and
the meanest water; is the hardest country
to live in, and has the most to live on !;
the days are the hottest and Ihe nights the
coolest, here are the most rivers, and the
least waters; the best roads and the slow
est travel; the finest building material;
and the least use made Of it; more clouds;
and less rain; more plains and les, timber,
more ropes to tie horses, and more es-;
trays; poor country for farming. and
yet the most productive; the least work;
and the largest yield; the horses are
small, and the cattle big; the frogs havs
horns. and the rabbits have ears Ike
mules; the people are intelligent without
general education--inventtve without be-
ing trcky--refned without mannerism-
rich without noney--hospitabis Without
household, generous. and brave. In
fine, here is an empire in extent and re-
sources, but in the slowest process Of ~.
olu'ion. and yet destined to population
