A Lions Love for a Black Tigress.

The Phaodelphia North american re.
cords the following singular case :
"In ono compartment Of the cage in
which the animals perform, at Van Am.
burgh's beautiful menagerie, in Chestnut
street, is huge tawny AsiaIic lion. His
room mate is black female tiger. The
tiger is small compared to the regal lion,
but is highly valued as geological curl.
osity. and The only specimen Of the black
tiger in this country. She was purchased
by Mr.. Van Amburgh some 3years ago.
and has lived with the lion ever since -
The attachment between the two is re-
markable. When other animals are in
the same cage. and any affront is offered
10 the little tiger, she runs under the belly
Of the lion, and woe be to the animal that
dare approach her. No matter how
hungry he may be, the lion never touches
his share Of their daily meal until his little
chum has selected her share, and ever
this he never entirely consumes until GER
tain that she has enough. All the animals
are as fat as moles, but !his black tiger il
aldermanic in her proportions, and n,
remedy exists for the matter. She ha'
been twice removed from the lion, bu
until she was returned the generous beas
would take neither food nor rest, while
the frantic manner in which he dashed a
the bars, was sufficient warning that th
further detention OF the tiger would be
dangerous matter. Should his mate die
the lion would probably pine to DEATH
Once when she was taken away a liones
r.
upon her, and at single bite broke he
spine. and crushed some OF her ribs
Careful nursing saved her, and she is sti
living, but with her hinder part immovabl
paralyzed."

The Thunderer on Mr.. Buchanan.

The London Times, in the course OF an ic'e
on the present condition Of American affairs, al.
ludes thus 10 President Buchanan's unfortunate
position in regard to the events that distract our
country;
"These considerations should not be lost sigh
OF in estimating the position OF Mr.. Buchanan,
and he certainly needs all tho excuse and nliow-
ance that the most tolerant critic can suggest in
his behalf He owes his election TO those very
Southern States who are now i'll open rebellion To
his authority, and his best friends have lett him

eaten aud whose official stations they have filled
during the last four years. =. ,,
avoid the conviction that lew men called upon TO
play great historical part have been found more
utterly unequal to their situation than Mr. Bu.
chanan In tho vain hope of concillating tho
Southern members OF his Cabinet, he Inaugural
ted the meeting OF Congress by message which
was in itself the most powerful inducoment TO
disunion. In the face of threatened secession, he
told his countrymen that secession would be JUS
Ifable unless the North made ample concessions.
He stated distinctly that tho power OF putting
down rebellion had not been delegated to Con-
gress and that while he would continue to col.
Iect the public revenue, and to protect tho public
property he would use no means to bring the Sc
ceders to n sense of their duty. This language
could have but one effect. 1t gives the intended
seceders TO understand that what might be wrong
in constitutional law, would be valid in fact, de-
fensible in morality, and attended with the most
perfect impunity. MIR. r.Bnchnnans .Cnbinet,t TO sat

disruption ofhis country, have resigned, and now

OF its preservation would probably have rem

A GRACEFUL COMPLIMENT TO A WFE--
The following neat and beautiful reply was
made by the late Daniel O'ConDell, in ro
sponso to toast given in compliment to
his vito, who was tho object of his long
affectionate attachment. 1t was given at a
political meeting. The English language
could not furnish anything more touchingly
tender and graceful.
Thore arc some topics Of so sacred and
sweet nature that they may be compre-
hended by those who are happy, but they
cannot be possibly described by any human
being. All that shall do is to thank you
In the name of her who was tho disinterest-
cd choice Of my early youth; who was tho
ever-ohoorful companion of my manly years
and who Is the sweetest solace of that ''sear

No WoNDER WHEN WE SLEEP IA
shrewd philosopher says: 1--WE may al
lude to one faculty OF the brain which ap-
pears dl,00ys TO remain dormant during
dreams we allude to the faculty Of
Wonder. The most incongruous images,
the oldest combination Of circumstances,
the strangest persons present, themselves
before us at such times, unchallenged.-
We converse with friends and relations
long since dead. without feeling the least
surprised at their resurrection. And why
is this =? Because tie sense Of tie fitness Of
things is also wanting. How can we won
der when the standard Of judgment is
absent? And herein We find the extra.
ordinary likeness between dreaming and
certain forms of insanity. The co. .ordi
mating physical power in both cases is in
abey vance,"

BAD CHARAcrER,-The importance OF
preserving good reputation for truth
and honesty is quite strikingly set forth in
the following:-A mortal fever prevailed
on board of ship al sea, and negro man
was appointed to throw the bodies Of those
who died, from time to time, overheard.
One day when the captain was on deck,
he saw the negro dragging OUT ofthe fore
castle sick man, who was violently
struggling to extricatc himself from the
negro's grasp, and demonstrating very
bitterly against the cruelty of being buried
alive. "What are you going to do with
that man, you black rascal?" said the
captain. "Going to throw him overheard,
massa. cause he dead" Dead, you
scoundrel!' said the captain. "don't you
see he moves and speaks?" Yes, mas.
sa, l know he says he no dead, but he
always lie so. nobody ever know when tc
believe him."
