II is far from clear that the plague has
been introduced by foreign cattle; in
deed, we think II rcYirw of the evidence
would rather lead to the conclusion that
il was generated al home. There are
two theories competing for acceptance
in the matter. One assumes that the
uns" Is nothing more nor less ilnn the
wcll-knOwn Russian cattle plaguc--I
particular species Of mllrrain, bred in
the Slrpprs Of Eastern Russia, but new
cr found indigenous elsewhere. From
those regions, or possibly from the in
trrtcd plains of Hungary, It has hc"u
Imported into England. and is now de-
Struying our stock. The other theory
is that the plague was cngCnh"rCd in lh"
COw-ShrdS Of III" metropolitan dairirS
during the excessive heals Of June, and
has since been developed, and dissent
mated in Il natural manner. Agricul-
turiSts assembled in county meetings
lean strongly to the former prCSump-
ton, and demand that impUrlationS of
cattle shall bc restricted il not Suspen-
dcd; while London SnlcSmcn mnintaln
aS Sturdily that the beasts coming from
the continent Irr perfectly sound, and
that all the mischief has been bred M
home. We may expect Il little bias in
both these quarters; but il appears to
us that the statesmen have the weight Of
evidence on their side. II re-
all ~ appears TO us that foreign cattle are
safer and SOundrr than English cattle.
Nor do "" much wonder ut this.
Last week there were ut our cattle mar
ket nearly four thousand foreign hruSis
TO about three thousand English, and II
salesman on th" spot assures us that
several of the native animals were in
irctrd, hut not one of the foreign cattle.
W" have certainly got u cattle plague
among us, wherever il came from. hut
France and Hclgiumnnd Germany hav"
no such misfortune. They might OBJ
jrCi tu our beasts more reasonably than
We TO theirs. And they are exceedingly
vigilnml and careful in the mnttcr They
employ skilled inspectors ut the ports
of rmhnrkntiOn, willie we are now do
ing the same NJ the ports of dchnrku-
tiOn, SO that there is n double security
against infection. Indeed. sO far MS we
are aware, nobody asserts that any beast
visibly or presumably plnguc-sirick"n
has been admitted into this country.
The theory is that the disease was "dOr-
mnnt," and developed only some time
after landing. How far this theory is
probable the public may judge; but il
seems to us that Il great deal more evil
dcnCo Of its truth should be- forthcoming
before We shut our ports against foreign
cattle, and COniinc ourselves To n mar
krt not half lnrg" enough for 0ur wants,

Mskims for Married Women.

A YOUNG lady being on the point of mar
riage, applied to married friend for a set Of
rules to guide her in her new condition
The following were presented to her in re-
ply:
al. Avoid all thoughts of managing your
husband. a.-
2. Never try to deceive or impose on his
understanding, nor give him uneasiness, but
treat him with affection and respect.
8. Remember that husbands. at best, are on
ly men, subject, Ike yourselves, to error and
frailty. Be not too sanguine, then, before
marriage, or promise yourself happiness with
out alloy
a Should you discover anything in your
husbands humor or behavior, not altogeth-
er what yoH expected or wish, pass It over
Smooth your own temper, and try to mend
his by attention, cheerfulness and good ma
ture. ..... ........
5. Never teproach him with misfortunes,
which are the accidents and indrmities ofhu-
man life burden that each has engaged to
help the other in supporting, and to which
both parties are equally exposed, but instead
of murtnurings and reflections, divide the sOr-
row between you, make the best of it, and it
will be easier to both.
6. It is the Office of the softer sex to smooth
the troubles of the other.
7. Resolve every morning to be cheerful
that day, and if any thing occur 20 break your
resolution, suffer it not to put you out oftem-
per at your husband.
8. Dispute not with him but rather deny
yourself the trihing satisfaction Of having
your own will, or gaining the better IN an
argument, than risk quarrel or create heart
burning which it is impossible to see the end
Of

sion in a wife, to the just viii OF her husband,
is what she promised at the altar, what the
good will revere her for, and what Is, IN tact,
the greatest honor she can receive. =,
10. Be assured, woman's power, as well
as her happiness, has no other foundation
| than her husbands esteem and love, which 1t
is her interest by all possible means, to pre-
serve and increase.
II. Enjoy with him his satisfaction share
and soot6e his cares; and with the utmost as
siduity, conceal his inhrnities.

A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the riyer2
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
splashing and padding with hoofs of a goat,
And breaking the golden lilies anoat,
With the drsgun-fy on the river.
He tore out a reed, the great god Pan,
From the deep cool bed OF the river.
The lunpid water turbidly ran,
And the broken lilies dying lay,
And the dragon fly had fed away,
Ere he brought it out Of the river.
High ON the shore sat the great god Pan,
While turbidly flowed the river,
And hacked and bewed as great god can,
With his hard bleak steel at the patient reed
TIL there was not sign Of a leaf, indeed,
To prove it fresh from the river.
He cut it short, did the greatgo Pan,
CHow well it stood in the TiyerO
Then hewed the pith, like the heart Of man
Steadily from the outside ring,
Then notched the poor dry empty thing
In holes as he sat By the river.
isThis is the way, laughed the great god Pan,
(Laaghed while he sat by the riverD
1.-The only way since the gods began
To make sweet music, they could succeed" /"
Then, dropping his mouth to a hole in the
reed,
he blew in power by the river.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, o Pan,
Piercing sweet, by the river
Binding sweet, o great god Pan,
The sun on the hill forgot to die,
And the lilies revived and the dragon-fy
Came back to dream on the river.
Yet half beast is the great god Pan,
To laugh as he sits by the river,
Making poet out ofa man,
The true gods sigh for the cost and pain,
For the reed that grows never more again
As a reed with the reeds in the river.

IT was gay and festive scene, --
And sentiment and song,
With all the wild hilarity
Which to such scenes belong,
Rung through the lordly, sculptur'd halls;
And many stately knight f-g
Looked down from gilded. pictured walls,
All clad in armor bright.

And when the brimming cup was quafted
To loneliness divine,
Each gallant heart some fair one pledged
High in the sparkling wine.
All stately, mid the jestlng mirth-
The bursts of frevelry-
There stood a fair and high-born youth,
The flower of ehivalry.
His soul was dwelling with the past; .'.
His memories were stirred
By Ioveliest visions. Onhis lips
lowered one sacred word.

Aloof he stood-in reverie-
With graceful, absent air;
Tin, by his comrades, reused to name
And pledge his " "ladye-faire,"

He stsrted-raised his goblet high

"Whose name is craven on my heart
In fondest memory

Whose love, more constant, tenderer,
And longer here hath dwelt
Than the deep passions pledged tonight
More fixed, more keenly felt.

THE JESTER CONDEMNED TO DEATH
BY HORACE SMITH.

ONE ofthe Kings Of scanderoon,
A royaljester,
Had in his train an old buffoon,
Who used to poster
= The court with tricks inopportune,
Venting on the highest folks his
Foolish pleasantries and hoaxes.
It needs some sense to play the fOol,I
Which wholesome rule
Occurred not to our jackanapes,
Who consequently found his freaks
Lead to inumerable scrapes;
And quite as many kicks and tweaks,
Which only seemed to make him faster
To try the patience Of his master.
Some sin at last, beyond all measure,
Incurred the desperate displeasure
Of his serene and raging highness;
Whether he twitched his most revered
And sacred beard,
Or had intruded on the shyness
OF the fair household, or let ay
An epigram at royalty,
None knows his sin was an occult one:
But record tells US that the Sultan,
Meaning to terrify the knaEe,
Exclaimed, "'Tis time to stop that breath
Thy doom is sealed, presumptuous slave!
Thou stand'st condemned to certain death
Silence, base rebel! no replymg!-
But such is my indulgence still,
That, Of my own free grace and will,
leave to thee the mode Of dying"
toThy royal will be done-'tis just! J"
Replied the wretch and kissed the dust;
"since my last moments to assuage,
Your Maiesty's humane decree
Has designed to leave the choice to me,
---IIldie, SO please you, Of Old age!' ~
