MADAM DU DEFFAND's DOG.
Walpole amusingly relates. on the
occasion of this visit, the demeles he had
to rocc0mode, and the memories to pre-
sent against Touton, Madame du Def
lands favorite dog: Gas / am the only
person." he says, swho dare correct
him, have already insisted on his be-
ing confined in the Bastile every day
after five o'clock. T'other night he
flew at Lady Barrymore's face, and |
thought would have torn her eye out;
but it ended in biting her finger. She
was terrified; she fell into tears. Mad
anne du Deffand, who has too much
parts not to see everything in its true
light, perceiving that she had not peat
en- Touton half enough, immediately
told us story of lady, whose dog
having bitten piece out of gentle
mans leg, the tender dame, in great
fright, cried out, Won't it make my
dog sick?" I
"Touton," the spoilt little favorite,
was sent to Strawberry. legacy to Mr..
Walpole, whose promise Madame du
Deffand had obtained TO take care of the
dog should it survive its doatingly-at-
tached mistress. In answer to letter
from the former to the Rev. Mr.. Cole,
the worthy antiquary remarks, 81
congratulate the little Partisan dog that
he has fallen into the hands of so hui
name master. / have little diminu-
tive dog, Busy, full as great favorite,
and never out of my lap; / have already,
in case of an accident, insured it a
refuge from starvation and ill usage. 1t
is the least we can do for poor, harm
less, shiftless, pampered animals that
have amused ua, and we have spoilt.
Touton fully justified the character
formerly given of him at the Gothic
villa of his new master. He began by
exiting my beautiful little cat" he
writes, upon which, however, we shall
not qnite agree. He then flew at one
of my dogs, who returned it by biting
his foot till it bled, but was severely
beaten for it. Immediately rang for
Margaret to dress his foot; but in the
midst of my tribulation, could not keep
my couutenance, for she cried, Poor
little thing, he does not understand my
language" hope she will not recol-
iect, too, that he is Papist."

twenty feet on the hard ground. All We're
Killed but one, and she was carried off a
prisoner to meet worse fate, / do not

The heart of the little changing bird
throbbed with tender sympathy, and an
Indignant exclamation quavered forth
from her little throat, but she answered
cheerily, Never fear for me. dear Goldie.
/ viii teach the boys that they are not
masters here. shall build in this very

In vain the goldfnch tried to dissuade
her "If you viii be so unwise,' she
said at last, ''keep as still as you can all
summer. and perhaps they will not find
you out among the thick leaves.
sTYouH hear me chattering all day
long" laughed the other "I'm not sure
but shall make little extra music just
to teaze the boys"
So away the little bird flew to choose
her building SITE, And she did take a
curious spot indeed. She hoped along
to the very top limb of the tree, and then
to the extremity of a long, slender
branch, and there laid her foundation
on the ends of few swaying twigs. She
wound them in, strong and tight, so that
herprecious freight would be safe. Then,
when the work was all done, she sat over
head as it swung saucily back and forthI
over the path, and chirped out her loud
est song. The boys were on the lookout,
and spied her soon enough, but no one
could throw stick or stone up into that
lofty tree top. Nor could they climb ont
on such a slender limb, neither could
they reach it by any of their usual arts.
Try again, try again, " little birdie would
chuckle, as she watched their unsuccess-
full attempts.
So she reared her nest of chatterers in
the midst of a hundred peris, and when
the summer was waning, they all flew
away together.
Now that the leaves have all dropped
into their graves, watch the little sway
ing nest among the naked boughs, and
think what wisdom God gave to a little

SHIPS AT SEA.

More than fifty years ago;
None have vet come home to me,
But are sailing 10 and fro.
I have seen them in my sleep,
plunginc through the shOreless deep.
with tatfered sails and battered hulls,
while arOund them screamed the gulls,
Flying low, flying low.
Ihave wondered why they strayed
From me- sailing round the world:
- Aud I've said, I'm half AFRAID
That their sails will ne'er be furled.
Great the treasures that they hold,
Silks, and plumes, and bars OF gold'
While the spices that they bear,
Fill with fragrance all the ar,
As they sail, as they SAIL.
Ali each sailor in the port
te Kn,ws that have ships at sea-
OF the waves and winds the sport,
And the sailors pity me.
OFT they come and with me walk,
Cheering me with hopeful talk,
Till put my fears aside,
~. And enntented watch the tide
Rise and fall, rise and fall
Ihave waited on the piers,
Gazing for them down the bay,
DAYS aud nights for many years,
Till turued heart-sick away.
But the pilots, when they land,
Stop and take me by the hand,
Saying, 'lOu will live to see
Your proud vessels come from sea,
One and all, one and all"
So never quite despair,
Nor let hope or courage fail;
And some days when skies sTr fair,
Up the bay my ships viii sail.

Prints 10 look at, books 70 read,
Horses, wines aud works Of art
Everything except a heart,
That is lost, that is lost.
Once when was pure and young,
Richer, too, than 1 am now,
Ere a cloud was DER me flung
Or wrinkle creased nv brow,
There was one whose heart was mine;
But she's something now divine,
And though come nv ships from sea,
They can bring no heart to me
EvermOre, evermOre.

ACCIDENTs.-Lafayette is good

Monday we have accounts of three
accidents. A gentleman and three
ladies were driving along the bank of
the canal, when their horses be-
came frightened, SHE'D off the road,
and threw the buggy and its occupants
down the embankment, The horses
plunged into the canal, swan some
distance and then took to dry land,
and put out on their own hook. No
one was seriously injured.
In another part of the city little
boy crawled into wagon, carelessly
left standing by the sidewalk with
horses attached. Cracking the whip
he caused the horses to start, and was
thrown out, one of the wheels passing
over one side of. his breast, crushing
it in cruel manner. "a

The next campaign will be one of
the most important which the people
of Indiana have ever fought against
prescription, and error, and wrong.
Now, if ever, must the fruits of the
terrible war which we have suffered,
be secured beyond a peradventure.
The grave responsibilities growing out
of the situation are felt and appreci-
ated by all the people. In order that
they may be prepared to act under
standingly, there is a necessity for
cheap and rapid means of informing
themselves of the rapid events trans
piring from day to day in the political
world. 1t is with the design of doing
all in our power to meet this wantthat

change. ,f.g F9e

to the Political Department of the
paper, special effort will be made
