"Sic him-sic him, Hectorr.' shouted
in a paroXysm of delight.
And then l sadly recollected that the

he caught sight of the panther.
But did the noble fellow a great in.

Then, when the now furious PANTHER
made toward me again, the brave little
collie once more nipped him.
But this time the panther was pre.
pared for the assault, and, Wheeling
with incredible swiftness, he made one
tremendous, vaulting leap, and came
down on poor Hector before he corld

teeth and claws, and, though the doc

THE GENUINE YANKEE.

With all his faults, his lack of courtly grace,
His nasal utterauce and his dismal face,
! wi l like that queer composite man,
The genuine YaRkee-not the hateful clan
Whose lives degenerate desecrate the name
Whose greatest glory Is their deepest shame
The misoreant peddler with mendacious lips
Whose moral vision suffers an eclipse
From every shilling that, In passing by,
Fills with its disk the orbit of his eve
Not such as he my blushing muse would paint
Nor YET the image of a perfect saint,
But a true man in whom the eye may trace
Inc genuine features Of the plastic race.
And now, to name his faults and foibles first
n true to candor, bravely tell the worst,
Not all unmixed, IL rightly understood,
With fair proportions OF the wise and good.
He's fond OF money; loves a bargain well;
Has nothing round him that he would not sell
For a oonsideration-save his wife,
children and honor liberty and nfel
He pays his debts, yet, bargaining for pelf,
lie rarely gives the doubt against himself.
Is fond OF "cyphering," yet, when all is done,
His magic number still is Number one,"
Where'er he wanders, voluble or sly,
There's spec ulation" in his dreamy eve;
ne "gtlesses better than o Delphic seer
II lands VIII rise or cotton fall next year.
Sees aqueuucS IN every buhbling spring,
Buildings in stones and cash in everything
He covets informa lion; scans your life
And business closer than your neighbour wife,
And asks more questions, trivial or profound,
Than any marshal in his census-round,
To make improvements is his special pride,
ne never walks when he can fairly ride,
Not for 9 moment hesitstes to scout
Customs old turnpike for a better route.
In every strife, with matter or with mind,
Hes wide-awake, and scorns to be behind;
The British cruiser, Fastening to explore
The new-found wealth of some Pacific shore.
Eager, at once, his proper right to claim,
And take possession in Victoria's name,
Sees OF a sudden, to his dire dismay,
A Boston schooner in the neighboriuC hay.
And, palmer still, upon the nearest height
The Yankee banner Haunting in his sight,
But view him nearer, by his hearth, 10 find
All that is noblest in his heart and mind;
Here in his brightest luster you may see
New England's pride, kind, courteous and free,
A generous giver OF his well.earned store
To raise the weak and bless the suffering Door:
loves his country, fears no tyrant's rod,
heVeres the good, but worships only God,
N. Y. Ledger.
