necessity-instead of having the roofs
covered with shingles or tiles, to cover,

The want and distress are, really, great !;
but, thanks to God, there are charitable
persons to be found there, as elsewhere.
His Excellency Vice-Governor Stake
mann, and many merchants, besides
others have, to our knowledge, contribut-
ed much to the sufferers. When we say
this, we mean to say, that President
Stakemann housed many, and fed them;
all at his w expense. What retaliation
will he and other charitable persons re-
ceive? This recompense, we hope, will
be obtained from Heaven.

In Hayti everything appears to be quiet
but the prrs4t Governments has a
most herculean task before it, owing to
the confused state in which the late Gov
eminent has left the Finance of the coun-

of the day but these very measures
breed discomfort amongst those who used
to thrive at the public expense. In the
meantime, the people in general suffer
great misery, owing to the famine price

Humor in Animals.

Fun is by no means confined to
man. 1t is frequently asserted that
although naturalists have discovered
and named "the laughing jackass," "
"the laughing hyena," "the laughing
cockatoo," there is but one animal
which really INDUCES in "what you
might call laugh" and that is our
friend, the dog. The horse laugh is
a humbug; but the horse would laugh
if he could, for he is not deficient in
a sense Of the humorous. We have
known in our time, a sly old horse
which would slide up to a bystander
and put his hoof on the unfortunate
wight's foot in a manner which would
not soon be forgotten. 1t was a
common trick with him; but no pro-
le5sed practical joker could have done
it with his own sole, in a more mad
vertent manner. The comedy of
The World Mask" declares that a
"horse is a gentleman :" and this may
give US key to the gravity of our
Eclipses and DObbin, since a horse
laugh has long been regarded as any
thing but gentlemanly. Col. O'kel-
ly's parrot would scream for the dog
Rover until he obeyed her summons,
ana then frighten him away by yell
ling, "Get out! Small birds chase
each other about in play but, per-
haps, the conduct of the crane and
the trumpeter is the most extraordiu-
ary. The latter stands on one leg,
hops about in the most eccentric mar
ner, and throws somersaults. All
animals pretending violence il their
play, stop short of exercising it. The
dog takes the greatest prccaution not
to injure by his bite; and the Orang-
outang in wrestling with his keeper,
pretends to throw him, and makes
teints of biting him. Some animals
carry out in their pay the semblance
Of catching their prey; young cats,
for instance, leap after every small
and moving object, even to the leaves
Strewed by the autumn wind; they
crouch and steal forward, ready for

The Ohio Farmer says that corns
in horses feet are the cause. in most
cases, of sprung knees. In order to
relieve the heels sore with corns, the
animal throws his weight mainly on
the toe, thus relaxing the tendon and
suspensory hgament of the leg, con-
traction of which naturally follows.
Corns are mainly produced by improp-
er shoeing, which contracts the heel.
Instead Of bevelling from without in
ward, making the foot to rest in con-
cavity, which resists the natural ex-
pansion of the hoof, and forces the
heel inward, the shoe should be made

SPICED VINEGAR FOR PICKLES
A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph gives the following direc-
tions:
For every pint of spiced vinegar
it is intended to make, take one ounce
of black pepper, half an ounce OF salt,
half an ounce of ginger, a quarter OF
an ounce of allspice, and If desired
to be hot, add also a quarter OF a
drachm of Cayenne, or few capsl-
Gums. Bruise the whole cf these
materials in mortar and put them
into a jar or wide mouthed green
glass bottle, tied over with a blad-
der. Place this in saucepan OF
water, and keep it hot tor three OF
four days, shaking it now and then
If the maker has an enamel sauce
pan, this operation can be facilitated
by simmering the ingredients togeth'
er. Spiced vinegar is used hot fol
waiWts and cold tor cabbage.

A Beautiful Poem.

On the bosom of the river
Where the sun unloosed his quiver,
Or the starlight streamed forever,
Sailed vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung like mamma,
On the bright folds of her banner,
While the zephyr rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her prov pilot, beaming
In the flush of youth, stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming,
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he floated,
Oft that pilot, angel throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so brightly flowing
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from Tyre of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple waves divided,
And RAINBOW arch abided
On his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Praying that no wild commotion
Midst the elements might rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water flags carolla
Trembling to his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside city haunted
By an awful spell, that daunted
Every conner to her shore.
Night shade rank the air encountered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus-eaters sumbered
And awoke to life no more.
Then there rushed, with lightning quickness
Der his face a mortal sickness,
And the dew in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair.
And there swept a dying murmur
Through the lovely southern summer
As the beauteOus pilot conner
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on the radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his quiver,
And the starlight streams forever
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mamma
On the purple waves no more.

his influence over her that she forgot
her fears, forgot all but her love for
him, and went to her rest that night
with bright visions Of the future, un-
clouded by single doubt or fear.
Clarence Howe and Ida Lester
were married.
The old mansion glowed with bright
lights; the walls echoed with music !;
the air was hung with the perfume of
flowers. Ida was happy-oh, how
happy. Every one said it was the
grandest wedding the village had ev
er known, and every one wished the
young couple joy and happiness.
Not many months after Ida became
Mrs. Howe her father died suddenly
from a stroke of apoplexy, and she
was left the last of the family, the
possessor of the fine estate.
Clarence plunged into dissipation
deeper and deeper. The happiness
he had pictured in such glowing colors
was short lived.
He had gained his object; he had
married for wealth, not for the pure
feeling he had professed, and after
Mr. Lester died, there was no re-
straint. The pure love and devotion
Ida lavished upon him were unheeded
unappreciated, and day by day he grew
more and more reckless-day by day
she grew more sad, more spiritual,
more like a fading flower than a being
of earth.
A year passed by-a child blessed
their union-a girl.
With fervent prayers, Ida hoped
that this blessing from heaven might
turn her husband from his evil ways.
But, alas, she hoped against hope
his heart was thoroughly bad-he
was lost lost lost! to every pure
AMI holy feeling.
Down, down, down he went, until
he sank at last into a drunkard's un-
hallowed grave, and Ida, with heart
broken and bruised, looked to heaven
for help to train her child in the way
most pleasing in the sight of heaven.
She is still living, a sad pale wo-
man, never participating in the pleas
ures of the world, but loved, nay, al
most worshipped, by the poor and
needy, to whom she is a miniStering
angel Of comfort.
/ Her life is devoted to good deeds
and with untiring diligence she i'm
presses upon the mind of her child
the fearful curse that must inevitably
follow drink.
Bitter experience has taught hen
that, though life may be all sunshine
though ones path may be surround
ed by all worldly bleSsings,-if the
Demon of Intcmperance is harborec
there, all will be lost, and clouds take
the place of sunbeams-misery tn,

a soul without prayer is like soli-

tempter sees it and lures it away into

converse with God, is emptied of every

God and things divine, from which
alone result truth and strength and

MISSED HIS MARK. certain
young fellow living a few miles from
Mount Holly, n. j., courted a certain
young lady. Nothing strange about
that. He wanted the girl to 60 to a
parsons with him, so that both could
be made one. She couldn't see it
She fatty refused. He tried the art
Of persuasion until he got tired, and
then threatened to prosecute her for
"breach Of promise"
The dear one told the exaspera-
tent gent that he could proceed with
his suing-she would meet him. He
came to town and consulted an attor-
ney, but it is supposed that the legal
gentleman did not give sufficient en-
couragement, as that part was aban-
doned.
The love stricken swain began his
opportunities, when he received di-
rect and emphatic refusal, couched in
rather sharp words. He informed
her that if h e would not make
him happy, by joining her fate with
his, that he would shoot himself and
thus shuttle of the mortal coil that
was burden instead of a pleasure
to him. She told him to go in, the
sooner the better she didn't t care a
fig. He went behind the house, there
was bang, something dropped and
all was silent. But alas for his cal
culations, the intractable miss didn't
yell murder, didn't swoon, didn't dc
anything that had the appearance of
backing down. Her brother told her
she had better go out and ascertain
the damage He wouldn't and she
wouldn't, and the lover after ''play
