twenty. years OF age, with moderately
sharp features, pale complexion, dark eyes, hair

mentioning q case IN which . irhEfeFer had
three trials for his life. At the nrst he vas SEN
two years, and the third he was acquitted, the
lecturer remarking that had he had another
trial the Jury would doubtless have presented
him with $3.50 gold watch; and so It Is with ma
ture. We are taught to think her very wicked,
but after many trials we Will ind her to be
worthy OF golden gifts.
TheOlogIans have made nature to appear bad
to give dignity and goodness to revelation. 1t
was doing God Injustice TO say he has made a
bad thing. We mrst see beauty In nature before
we can IN God, because Y our ideas OF the Cres.

and we can conceive OF nothing beautiful and

comprehends all things, body and spirit, and re-
yeals heaven. To those who have read and
heard her varied language, her voice sounds with
the richest melody.

LAW OF NEWSPAPEEsS.

l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary, are consider
ed as wishing to continue their subscrip-
ton.
.. IF subscribers wish their papers dis
continued, publishers may continue to
send them until all charges are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their papers from the Office or place
to which they arc sent, they are held re-
sponsiblo until they settle their bills and
give due notice to discontinue.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and the
paper is sent 30 the former direction they
are held responsible. Notice should al
ways be given of the removal.
5. The courts have decided, that refus-
ing to take a paper from the Office, or re-
moving and leaving it uncalled for, is pri-
ma facic evidence Of intentional fraud.

BONNIE BOUCEEEs.

The crocodile, worshiped in one part of
Egypt, was eaten in another. Herodotus
informs us that the people of Apollonop-
oils were compelled by law to cat croco-
diles, to revenge the death of a princess
who fell a victim to saurian appetite.
The inhabitants Of Elepantina did from
choice what the Apollonopolians did from
compulsion, and modern Egyptians fol-
low their example when they have
chance, not being deferred by the risk of
perpetrating cannibalism at secondhand.
Crocodile flesh is publicly sold in the
meat markets of Senaar, and Pallegroix
declares he saw half a hundred crocodilos
hanging up for sale (as sheep hang in our
butchers shops in a market-place in ST.
am. Burckhardt compares crocodile meat
to veal, but it has dirty hue and faint,
ishy odor, of which veal is innocent, and,
unless the musk glands are removed pre-
vious to cooking, the dish is intolcrable
Sherard Osborne tried an alligator outlet,
and, although he did not find it absolute
~ AlitttLdblts Ilt NblIltortS - was lIOt Wv
nice the best that could be said of it be-
ing, that it was equal to a very bad veal
outlet. Winwood Reade likens alligator
to something between pork and cod, with
the addition Of flavor Of musk. Men
hoif's taste was Of different order, or he
was lucllier in the specimens upon which
he eXperimented, for he AYERS that, boil
cd or fried in butter, cayman meat is
quite equal to rabbit. Both crocodile
and alligator eggs are held in estimation
The Siamcse consider the first an espe-
cial dainty; while the natives Of Madagas-
car are particularly partial to the latter,
and lay up a store Of them, first rcmov-
ing the shell, and then boiling the eggs,
and drying them in the sun. The Man
dingoes prefer crocodile eggs when the
young reptile within has attained to the
length Of mans finger. NJ. Linaut
was tempted, by the evident enjoyment
Of his African friends, to take his share
Of a fricasee Of crocodile eggs but the
combination Of rancid oil and musk PROV
ed too much for an appetite not to the
manor born. Ancient physicians pre-
scrbcd boiled crocodile for sciotica, lum-
bago and chronic coughs crocodile blood
for ophthalmia, and crocodile fat in cases
OF fever.
The common green lizard is also eaten
by many African tribes, and the flesh Of
the lizard was once in great European re-
pute for various medicinal purposes. This
species was at one time so abundant in
the cnvirons Of Vienna, that laurent
tried to induce the poor Of that capital to
become lizard caters, telling them that
lizard meat either baked or flied, was
not only wholesome, but productive of
appetite. His philanthropic cndeavors
failed, perhaps because the hungry Wen
nese wanted something to allay rather
than increase their appetites.

A Foe TO HER SEX.-A Nassachu-
setts woman, it is said, has lately patent
ed a self-iastening button, which needs
no button-holc, which holds rs fast ms
the most desperate person can desire, and
which yet can be unlastened by a simple
tou h. The time will come when that
unhappy, too ingenious woman will be
denounced as one Of the worst foes Of her
sex who have ever existed. Nothing is a
greater provocation to connubial ideas in
the mind Of lorlorn bachelor, than the
difficulties which he has with apparel on
the subject Of buttons. How these useful
fastenings leave his wristbands and col
lars, and vests and pantaloons, any man
who has been single can sadly tell, and
how he himself has made absurd attempts
to repair the damage by sewing on but
tons himself, he would bcashamed to tell.
Despair at inability to conquer this an
noyance Of single life has made many a
man double, reduced the wild bachelor
TO the discipline Of home, taught him
his duty as a husband and father. And
this Massachusetts woman, who under
takes to emancpate the male sex, will
become, in after years, scorn and by
word to her sex, especially among single
sisters.

BAD FOR CHICAGO.

Some years ago, when Chicago was in
its infancy, a stranger took up his quar-
tcrs at the principal hotel, and inscribed
his name on the register as Mr.. j.. of
st. Louis. For several days he remained
there, engaged in transacting the bust
ness which had brought him to the the
place, and from his exceedingly plain
dress, manners, and general appearance,
attracted but little attention.
Soon Mr.. j. was suddenly seized with
Illness during which he was sadly neg
lectod by his host, and the servants, tax
ing their tone from the master Of the
house, left him to shift for himself as he
best could. Thus matters went on till
one morning he was found past praying
for. His papers were then examined,
that the sad intelligence might be com
municated to his friends; when, to the
surprise Of all, he was found to be one Of
the wealthiest men in the Western coun-
try.
Arrangements were accordingly made
for the funeral but before the last rites
were perforpcd the subject came to life
again, having been the victim ofcataep-
sy, instead Of the King Of Terrors. All
were oveuoyed at his fortunate escape
from so dreadful fate, and from that
time were prolusc in their expressions of
solicitude. elected, however, if we may
be judges, by " documentary evidence"
rather than by any personal regard.
At length some one ventured to ask
how things appeared to him while in his
trance, to which he thus replied:
- thought had come to the river Of
death, where met an angel, who handed
me a jewel to serve as a pass to the 9TH
er side. On giving this to the ferryman,
Iroceiyed from him another, which car
red me forward another stage in my
journey, Going on thus for several stages,
receiving at the termination OF each
ticket for the succeeding one, at last
reached the gate OF the Heavenly City.
There | found St. Peter, who opened the
door at my summons, pipe in mouth seat
cd by a small table, on which stood a
goodly mug Of steaming whisky toddy.
80 Good morning, SIR said he, very
politely.
50 Good morning, Peter said 1.
"' Who are you, sir?' said he, turning
over the leaves Of a huge ledger.
"' My name is J.
go Very good, sir; where did you live
down bclow?'
al lived at St. Louis, in the State Of
Missouri
80 Very well, sir; and now tell me
where you died.
"'I 1 died at Chicago, in Illinois,
So Chicago said he, shaking his head;
there is no such place, sir
50 beg your pardon, ST. Peter, but
have you a map Of the United States
here?
"' Yes, sir
ALLOW me to look at it,.
"' Certainly, sir"
WIN that he handed down a splen-
did atlas, and pointed out to him Chi
cago on the map.
" All right, sir, said he, after a mo-
ment's pause; it is there sure enough,
SO walk in, sir; but III be blessed ii you
amt the first person that baa ever come
here from that place"
Thus ended Mr.. J's account Of his
tra'lSilion state, and no more questions
were asked.

Some hearts co hungeriag through the . /,
And never find the love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled
To hide the pain they may not speak
The eye may flash, the moath may smile,
The voice in giddicst mirth may thrill,
And yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart is piniug still.
These know their doom and walk thoir way
With level steps and steadiast oyos,
Nor strive with fate, ror weep nor pray
While others not SO sadly wise,
Arc mocked by phantoms evcrmore,
And lurcd By soeminss Of delight,
Fair to the eye, but to the core
Holding but bitter dust and blight.
l see them gaze from wisUul eyes;
mark their sigh On fading checks,
I hear them breathe in ,mothercd sighs,
And note the grief that mover speaks;
For them no might redrosscs wrong,
No eye with pity is impoalled
Oh misconstruod and suffering long,
Oh hearts that hunger throuh the world I!
For you does lifo's dull desert hold
No fountains shade, no date grove fair,
No gush Of waters clear and cold,
But sandy reaches wide and bare.
Tho foot may fail, the soul may faint,
And weigh 10 earth the weary frame,
Yet still ye make no weak complaint,
And speak no word Of grief or blame.
Oh, eager eyes which gaze afarl
Oh, arms that clasp the empty air!
Not all unmarked yoCr sorrows are,
Not all unpitied your despair
Smile patient lips so proudly dumb
When liics fTail tent at last is farlcd.
Your glorious rccompense shall come,
oh hearts that hunger through the world
