The attorney--this class Of men are cool under

MONDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1866.
One Year Ago.

What stars have faded from our sky!
What hopes upfoldcd but to die
What dreams 50 fondly pondered DER,
Forever lost the hues they wore!
How like death knell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul Gone year ago!"
Where is the face we love to greet,
The form that graced the Preside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our pathway day By day?
Where fled those accents soft and low,
That thrilled our hearts " one year ago."
All vacant is the Preside chair,
The smile that won no longer there
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of the voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
How much was lost zone year ago !"
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread
OF footsteps DER her lovely head
Her pulseless breast no more may know
The pangs Of life Zone year ago"
But why repine? A few more years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have fed;
To that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed one year ago J"

4 Some year ago, some English officers camping
in the vicinity Of Mulkapoor, went out tiger hunt
ing, and bagged a splendid tigress. Whilst return
ing home with the trophy, they found, in a
Secluded spot in the lee Of a Jagged rock, what
evidently was the lair of a tiger, for there lay
bones of both human and brute kind, and shreds
and rags of clothing. More interesting than all,
hOwever was the discovery of tiny kitten, not
more than a fortnight old, coiled in corner, wink
ing and blinking and gaping at the intruders.
The hunters at once decided that this must be the
Cub Of the beast they had slain and willingly took
charge of the little orphan
Tiger kittens are not captured every day, so
when the hunters returned to their quarters, the
excitement in their tent was considerable. The
newly acquired kitten was provided with a tiny
dog-c0ar and chain and attached to the tent-polet
round which it gamboed, TO the delight Of an
audience numbering nearly twenty. About two
hours after the capture, however, and Just as it
vas growing dark, the good people in the tent

pund that caused the brayest heart to beat rather
Regularly.
Itwas the roar OR rather the combination of
rick and roar, peculiar to the tiger when driven

became every inch tiger and strained, with
BITS baby strength at the tether, while it replied,
kh loud wall, to the terrible voice outside.
E company was panic stricken. There was
pething so sudden aud unearthly in the roar,
it seemed as though the great tiger, brought
hour before had come to life again. Certainly,
bigger in question was already flayed but the
IRE conjured up became not the more pleasant
