clan when the time has passed for warmth
and quiet to have any curative effect.
Many persons precipitate themselves into
the grave by attempting to bravado an all
ment, to be up and about in defiance of it.
If anything at all is the matter with man
which is really Gisquieting, he should at
least have as much sense as pig, and 90
lie down. Pigs are rot such fools as to
move around in pain. 1t is great deal
better to lie down and grunt.
The reader has, no doubt, observed many
times that if in very severe winter weather
he remains in the house several days, the
body gets chilly; while you are warming
the feet an9 hands before the fire, the cold
chills run down the back or if you go even
from the fire to the window, to look upon
the snow, disagreeable sensations creep now
all over the body, and whether in these, or
under any other circumstances, persons have
an unpleasant chillness, it is the result Of
sluggish circulation and an imperfect diges
ton. So little life giving air is breatbed.
and so little exercise is taken that the putri-
ment is rot taken from the food eaten. the
blood grows poor and lifeless and cold
loses its heating power, and the body begins
to freeze and die. But let few hours be
spent in the cool, out door air in some ex-
hilerating employment or past time, and
there is an entire change in the whole
physical and mental condition the fire of
life kindles in the eye, smiles light up the
face, and the man is himself again. -.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Fight Between N sIan and n Lion

Wombwell's menagerie is now at Leeds,
England and the Yorkshire Post, in giving
an account of it says A strange and dam
gerous accident happened when the Messrs.
Cross, naturalists. of Liverpool, undertook
to forward huge black named Sahara lion
to Scarborough. On its arrival there the
animal was at once taken to the menagerie.
All went well until it was attempted to shift
this untamed king of the forest from the
cage in which he had been forwarded into
the den built to hold him at the exhibition
After many unsuccessful attempts had been
made to move him out of one cage into
the other, it was at last determined to tele-
graph their difficulty, and request the as
sistance of Mr.. William Cross, who, at once,
on receipt of the telegram, took train for
Scarborough.
Upon his arrival there, another trial was
made, and after u severe struggle that lasted
some hours, the noble brute was at length
successfully aud safely penned But, strange
to say, whilst MIR. Gross was receiving the
congratulations of the people about him, he
inadvertently laid hold of one of the bars of
the den. In moment, the huge animal
sprang from his crouching position, and, to
the CONSERVATION of all beholders, seized the
hand of Mr. Cross in his mouth. II is i'm
possible accurately to describe the scene at
this junction-fear seemed to possess every
one present. Several strangers who had
been specially invited to witness the shift
ing, magnited the accident of Mr.. Cross in
to an escape of the lion out of his cage; thus
filed with fear, they rushed out of the me-
nagerie in great trepidation. The lion still
held Mr.. Cross fast by the hand, nor could
he be induced to let 60 his hold, although
tempting junks of beef and cows hearts
were thrown into his cage but the most
surprising of all was that, during the whole
of the time each was trying to attract the at
tention of the lion from him, Mr.. Cross ap-
peared the least undisturbed, as, with his
eyes fixed upon his captor, he seemed to be
watching and waiting patiently for some ex-
pected opportunity. ......
Finding the lion determined to retain his
hold, and the pain becoming very severe,
Mr.. Cross asked one of the keepers to hand
him small bar of iron he was holding
ready for use With this Mr.. Cross succeed
ed in striking the brute terrific blow be-
tween the eyes. The enraged animal sprapg
back with snort, tearing the flesh from his
hand, and nutilating one finger so seriously
that at first it was thought amputation was
an absolute necessity, and was recommended;
but Mr.. Cross, with GOODNESS il him charac-
| teristic, refused all surgical aid /; he thought
he was sufficiently cut up already, and
| wrapping his mutiated hand in wet cloths
walked out of the menagerie as if no acci-
| dent had happened to him, and returned as
soon as possible to Liverpool.

Have made thee like the autumn leaf,
Ready, by blast or selfdocay,
From its slight hold to drop AWAY
And some sad sad morn may gid thy bior
Long, long before another year .a.
Another year. another year.
Oh, who shall sec another year?
Shall you, the young? or you, the fair
All the presumptuous thought forbear!
Within this churchyard's peaceful bounls.
Come, pause and ponder DER the mounds
Hero beauty sleeps--that vcrdant length
OF grave contains what once was strength;
The child-the boy-the man are here;
You may not see another year
Another year, another year,
Oh who shall sec another year?
Shall 1, whose burning thirst of fame
No earthly power can quench or tame7
Alas that burning thirst may soon
Be o'er, and all beneath the moon
All my fine visions, fancy-wrought,
And all this vortex whirl of thought,
Forever cease and disappear,
Ere dawns on earth another year.
