THE CHAMoIS.

This animal, which belongs to the ante
lope tribe, chiefly inhabits the Alps and
Pyrenees, aud are found in focks of from
four to eighty, and even hundred. 1t is
about the size of goat, of dusky, yellow
brown color, with the cheeks, chiu, throat
and belly, Of a yellowish white. The
horn. are black, slender, upright, hooked
backward at their tips, and about eight in
ches in height, and at the base of each
there is large orifce in the skin, of which
the use is unknown. Like all The antelope
race, the Chamois has sparkling and ami
mated eyes 1t feeds only on the finest
herbage, and its flesh is OF a delicate flavor.
When alarmed, the Chamois misses with
such force that the rocks and forests re-
echo, the note being very sharp at first,
and becoming deeper at the close. Hav-
ing paused a moment, the animal looks
round, and perceiving his apprehensions to
be well founded, he again Kisses with in
creased violence. at the same time striking
the ground with his fore feet, bounding
from rock to rock, and evincing the utmost
agitation, till the alarm is spread to a very
considerable distance, and the whole flock
provided for their safety by preclpitate
flight. The Kissing of the male is much
louder than the female; it is performed
through the nose; and is, strictly speaking
no other than very strong breath driven
violently through a small aperture.
Heat is so extremely disagreeable to
these animals that they are never seen in
summer, except in the excavations of the
rocks, amidst fragments of unmelted ice,
or under the shade of hanging preclpiceS
which face the north, and effectually keep
off the rays of the sun, They drink but
spariugly, and chew the cud in the inter-
walls of feeding. Their agility is wonderful
as they will throw themselve down, across
a rock, which is nearly perpendicular, and
twenty or thirty feet in height, without a
single prop to support their feet. Their
motion has, indeed, rather the appearance
of flying than of lesping. The Chamoi:
hunters of the Alps are so fond of the occu
patton that It has almost became mania
and they wi | brave every danger in pur-
| suit of this animal.

ALLIGAToRs ON THE GANGEs.

The bank of the Ganges opposite Mon
ghyr has not the slightest pretensions to
beauty; its low, fiat, swampy shores, inter
sected with reedy inlets. are the haunts OF
multitudes of aligators, which in hot sea-
sons may be seen summing themselve by
the side of the huge ant hills erected on
the sand banks, appearing above the sur
face of the water. Some of these animals
attain predigious size; they are exceeding
ly difficult to kill, in consequence of ada
mantine armor in which the greater part of
their bodies are cased Even when the
balls penetrate less guarded points, they are
so tenacious of life as to cause great deal
of truoble before they can finally be despach-
ed. One which had received eight balls, and
was supposed to be dead, after having been
tied to the bamboo of budgerow for
whole day, exhibited in the evening, so
much strength and fierceness, as TO be 4 dan
gerous neighbor. Many of these monsters
are fifteen feet long, and swim fearlessly
past the boats, lifting up their terrific
heads, and rising their dark bodies from
the water as they glide along. Though
not SO frequently as IN former times, when
the echoes of the river were less diStrlbu-
ted by the report Of fire arms, natives are
still the victims of that species of alligator,
which lies in wait for men and animals,
vrntdrng too hear their Eauuts. In many
that have been killed the silver ornaments
that have been worn by women and chill
drcn, have been found, convincing proof
of the fearful nature of their prey. An al
lgator, it is said, will sometimes plunge
amidst group of ba.hers at ghaut, and,
sing ling out one of the party, dart into the
| middI of the stream, defying pursuit by
the rapidity of its movement against the
| current, through which it will fly with the
velocity of an arrow, and having reached
deep water, it sinks with its victim into the
abyss of the river Sportsmen, the yonn-
ger portion especially, delight in wagiug
war against these giants of the stream, as
they lie walIowing in the mud in shallow
places, and presenting the defencless part:
of their bodies to the marksmen. In the
| Sunderbune, where the creeks and natural
canals of the Ganges wind through the for
ests, whose margin almost mingles will
the stream, alligators are sometimes engag
ed in deadly encounters with the tiger
A battle of this kind. witnessed by a mis-
sionary, is described to have been a draw
one, for, although the tiger succeeded ii
drawing his unwieldy adversary into a jun
gle, after 40 hour or two the alligator wa:
seen to emerge and regain the water, moi

LONG FACES.

What sad mistake it is to suppose
that a man should be gloomy because he is
devout, as if misery were acceptable to God
on its own account. and happiness an of
fence against his dignity. A modern wri-
ter of much wisdom and pith says:
"There is d secret belief amongst some
men that God is djspleased with mans hap
piness, and so they stink about creation
ashamed and afraid to enjoy anything" !"
These are the people of whom Hood
saya only bilious"
A good man is almost always a cheeful
one. 1t is fit that bad men scowI, look
blue and melancholy, but he has Gods smile
Of appreciation upon him should show his
radiance in his countenance. DR.. johnson
said he 'never knew a william 10 his life
that he was not, on whole, an unhappy dog ,
And well he may be. Aud an honest mao
the man with good conscience-let him
enjoy his sleep, and his dinner, and the
love OF his wife and the prattle of his chill
dren, and show beaming face TO bis nei gh
Dor. Surely there is no worse theology
than that which teaches that He who has
given such fullness Of JOY to beasts aut
birds delights in the misery Of men; or
that having filled us with gladness, We
ought TO give the lie to His goodness by
wearing faces beclo1ded with woe, and fur
rowed with prentended happiness.

from that wound in her arm, her eyes
covered with CLASSY film.
Mary !" shrieked the guilty father
for robber and Tory as he was he called to
her, but that was all be could say.
Suddenly she seemed to wake from that
stupor. She sat up in the bed with CLASSY
eyes. The strong hand of death was up
on her. AS she sat there, erect and ghast-
ly, the room was thronged with soldires.-
Her lover rushed forward and called her
by name. No answer. Called again
spoke TO her in that familiar tone of olden
time. Still no answer she knew him
not.
Yes it was true-the strong hand of
death was upon her.
Has he escapcd?" she asked, in a
husky voice. ....

wound i'll her arm, as from the agony
which bad broken the last chord of life
spread forth her arms as though she beheld a
form floating there above the bed, beckon-
ing her away. She spread forth her arms
as if to inclose that Angel form.
"Mother!" she whispered, while there
grouped the scldiers-there with speech
less agony on his brow, stood the lover
there, hiding his face with Que hand, while
the other grasped the light, crouched the
father-the light flashing over the dark
bed, with the form 10 its centre" Moth

Look, even as starting on that bloody
couch there, she speaks the half-formed
word, her arms stiffen, ber eyes wide open
set in death, glare in her fathers face
She is dead From the room her spirit
has gone home.

OUT UPON THE HYPoCRITEs!

The Radicals make great ado about the
presence of Southern sol.iers in the Dem
ocratic Convention. Generals Hancock,
Franklin, Slocum, Granger, Ewing M'Clern.
and, and thousands of the bravest of the
brave who periled their lives in defence of
the Union, meet these Southern soldiers
and take them by the hand to welcome
them back to their allegiance to the Gov
eminent and to American citizenship, but
these parlor patriots, these shoddy braves,
these bowling war-shriekers when the enc
my was afar off, these sneaking skulkers
when danger threatened, these superlative
ly loyal Radicals cannot find 1t in thelr
hearts to profit by the example. Yes
when the Ex Rebel Governor Joe. Brown,
of Georgia, who remanded into slavery the
negro prisoners captured by the rebels,
enters the Chicago Convention ard takes
part in the proceedings, it is all right.
But when some educated, intelligent and
honorable Southerner like Wade Hampton,
attends Democratic Convention. oh! hor-
rors, how atrocious! Was ever hypocracy
more glaring? Was ever demagoguism
more transparent ? Has not L1ngstreet
been forgiven and taken to the arms OF the
Radicals Was not Yarmouth, the pres
eut Radical Governor of of Louisiana,a "a ''red
handed rebel?" Are not half of the Radical
members of the Southern Legislatures un-
able to take the test oath If Radicals re-
celve into fellowship, those who once were
rebels, is it so very wrong if Democrats
do the same ?-PGtrtok

With little Western swearing and a little Yankee
cant,
And an unenthusastio unanimity for rant,
The rabbe at Chicago has done its work my lads,
And nothing now remains for US but wiping out the
RAIDS
The Empire State will take the Iead-she's fifty
thousand strong
Ohio and Connecticut will follow in the throng
And all the West and half the East will join the
line my lads,
And aid us in our pretty job of wping out the RAIDS
From where the golden rivers run, on the far Pa
cifc slope,
To the little Nutmeg State, goes up the chorus oI
our hope,
Three million sturdy freemen now have sworn an
oath; my lads,
That they will cast a sol;i vote for wiping out the
RAIDS
The white mans country shall be ruled by honest
white men yet,
And to oblivion we will sweep the nigger-loving
set;
Then put your shoulders to the wheel and beave
away my lads,
And let US save the Ship of State by wiping out the
RAIDS.

Story OF TWO CALvEs-Jim Smith was a

farm stock. Among the articles to be sold
was heifer, very attractive in her appear
ance, and consequently Jun dwelt extensive
ly on her many excellencies, winding up his
eloquent flourish that she was as gentle as
a dove" Thereupon, long, slab-sided
countryman, whose leg some inches longer
than his pants, approaching the heifer and
STOPPING down commenced handling her teats.
Bossy, not relishing such familiarity, lifted
her hools and laid ''greeny" sprawing some
ten feet off.

her best traits; she'll never allowl strange
