had possession of slender whip, they have
all of VOLTS cowardice. Their masters
keep them in subjection only by intimida-
tion. They will do nothing for man they
do not fear; and even the hunter who has
been accustomed to them for years, and has
fed them and driven them, has to watch
them closely when they are hungry. His
whip is then his constant companion. They
are capable of no attachment to their mas
ter, be he ever so kind, except in rare cases
and they will follow the man who last fed
them. A little child or disabled person is
never entirely safe amongst them in times Of
scarcity.
A story was once told me at Proven, of a
little boy, grandson Of the governor, who

A Philadelphia Butcher.

In one of the market houses Of Philadel-
phia is genius of butcher. Beneath his
sleeves and apron he wears the costliest
broadcloth-none Of inferior grades, but of
the finest productions Of French looms. His
linen is as faultless as his exterior garments,
while the glistening surface Of his marble
counters is no less striking than the glossi-
ness of his hat and boots. In the center of
his shirt bosom sparkles single diamond
stone of six carats weight, and of the frs,
water. Upon the little finger Of his left hand
glitters circlet of diamonds, six in number,
whose aggregate value is considered more
than that Of the garniture Of his shit bosom.
His complexion is clear red and white
jus, that style Of complexion which Partisan
ladies produce by dainty commixture Of car.
mine and bismuth. He is a man Of fine ply.

They is a practice quite prevalent among
Young ladies of the present day, which We
are old-lashoncd enough to consider very
improper. We aiude to giving daguerreo

as cheap as this. With an accepted lover ii
is of course all right. Even in this case the
likeness should be returned if the engage

If this little paragraph should meet the eye
of any girl about to give her daSuerreo,!pe

that the remarks made by Young men when
together, concerning what Is perhaps on her
part piece Of ignorance or lmpudcnce, If
she heard them, would cause her cheeks to

WOlf.ang, Concluded.

Our readers may feel curious to know what
ever became of Captain Lester, who was left
in a cave, bound in mons, while the rising
water was threatening destruction to himself
and the pesky rats. 1t will be remembered
that he had just discovered Carrie Thornton
through IA tissure in the rock. a circumstance
which gave hum great courage. He bribed
an old rat to gnaw Oft his irons, and killing
the remainder, he tied the tails together
took himself to pieces, ana Carrie drew him
up through the crack, piece by piece, by the
rat tail rope. Captain Lester having, with
great presence OF mind, marked each piece
mad no difficulty in putting himself together
again. Just at this moment Woligang came
in, and Captain Lester stuffed feather bed
down his throat causing instantaneous Sutio-
cation. Captain and Carrie were married
and are now keeping the WoiganS House
Oh the rock ot Olbraiier, at the mouth of
Battins Bay. They are said to be N easy
circumstances. The Captain never think:
about rats without prolonged shudder of
horror.

ANECDOTES OF BEARDS.-Among the curl
Gus anecdotes of boards the oldest is that
told of the eminent John Mayo, painter, at
the court of Charles v, whose beard was SO
long that he could stand upon it, this cata-
ract of hair he kept tied up with ribbons to
his button holes, sometimes christening it al
the Emperor's wish, and opening the doors
and windows that it might blow into the ia
ces of angry courtiers. Another famous
beard was that Of Bav arian merchant, who
kept it enclosed in velvet bag to prevent 1t
fran dragging OH the ground. An old wri
ter of more gravity, We fear, than veracity.
asserts that the Inhabitants of Hardenburg
had formerly the singular custom of electing
the burgo-master who had the longest beard
and the biggest foot.
