THE UCStiRTliR.It was tlie ere of the battle of Buena

Vista. In the rugged mountaina) and onthe rough uplands twenty thousand Mexi-cans slept on their arms, confident of victoryon the morrow. Day after day they hudstruggled through arid deserts anj rockypas.-e-s, toward their present position, cer-tain that the Northern invaders would atlast be annihilated before their overwhelm-ing numbers. And besides, those twentytliou-an- d men knew well the tttlent of theirchief Santa Anna a man beyond questionan accomplished military commander, andwho, had he but commanded Anglo SnxmiDr Gallic or Celtic troops, would have madebis name renowned to the end i.f time.

Sutita Annu sat in the door of his pavil-ion, looking out over the land where thewatch fires of Taylor and hi five thousandburned in the dim distance.

" thought Santa Anna, ,;wewill destroy these Yankee invader, rootand brat oh. One single blow shall finishthe campaign."

Just (hen his thoughts were interrupted.Guardsmen brought- - into Inn prexence aman, nilh hands bound behind, and bloodflowing Irnni a sabre cut in the forehead.

" This is the deserter, I'im.n el Kodigo,"said they. " We discovered him in themountain, at au ancient ranch. What shallbe his fate?"

Sat.tu, Anna glnneed at the prisoner.The light of the torches ,'ell upon a face ofsingulnr gentleness and benevclence ofexpression, blended with firmness one ofthose beautiful bices that we sometimes seeiu portraits of the old Spanish gentry.

'Is there any doubt T" queried the gen-eral.

' lie dors not deny il," was the reply." Speak, Kudrigo, have you anything tosay V

Tho prisoner shook bin bead sadly,h Melosly. He knew there was no mercyfor bitu. To plead wan useless.

Santa Anna pointed to a ravine near athand. The soldiers appieciated his mean-ing. A private had that day been shottl.ere for the same ofieuoe. All that SantaAnna said, was:

"I Ciinnol jaidon desertion in presenceof an enemy. I.tt him din at midnight."

No other word was spoken, save that theprisoner threw up his hand- - as he was ledaway, and ejuculated aloud:

" O, Inez, Ii;er ! Lost, lost, f, rever !"Thut agoi.izing exclamation struck a shi'.l

to the hefirt ( f the riv st hardened thatheard it, and Santa Anna himself, the vieti.r of a hundred bloody fights, oared regretfulSy alter the prisoner till the lattervanished int' the darkness.

It was midnight. Santa Anna had justdismissed a council of officers, and wasalone in bis ter.t. Only at the entrancestood the armed guard. Suddenly therewas a noise. The guardsmen were heardchallenging some new comer. There wasthe sound of a struggle. A sweet tonedvoice the voice of a woman cried : " Iwill pass ; I will sen him 1" and the nextminute thero burst into tbe presence of thechief a female, and threw herself in supplicating attitude at his feet.

" Pardon, pardon I" alio cried, " pardonfor him ! He meant no wrong. It was forme be, incurred tbe penalty. Save him 0,save Liui'.''

Santa Anna looked upon the woman andsaw that she was young and surpassinglybeautiful. Large and dark were her Spanisheyes, and as he gazed into their jetty, sparkling, mournful depths, a feeling came uponbiiu like a memory of something half for-gotten, half realized. It was with surprisethat the sentinel who had followed the ladyiot the tent found himself motioned back.

" I bave yet to learn for whom it is youplead," remarked General Santi Anna.

"For llodrigo for my husband!" ejacu-lated tbe lady. " He is no traitor. IliaColonel offered me insult. Kodrigo struckhim. The lasb the lash was ordered forbis noble back. But I cut his bonds, andwe fled to the mountaina. For me be didit unworthy roe. Pardon him or killme!"

Santa Anna essayed to raise tbe lovelywoman. She slipped from bis grasp andclasped bis knees.

" No, no," she exclaimed, " not till youpardon bim. Let me die for him if needbe. Only set bim free. He ia brave beis true. . Yon must not kill bim !"

Santa Anna felt distressed. But bisvoice and lock were cold as the snows ofPnpocatapeti. He shook bis bead andsaid: :

" Though you plead till tbe break of thelast dawn it will not savn bim. His faultis too great for pardon. It is midnightnow the hour of his doom. While youwait here tbe bullets that are to take hislife may be driven home irf-- the deadlytubed. You may see him if you hasten. "

: The lady sprang to ber feet with a shriekof despair. She looked into the unchang-ing and relentlees eye tf Santa Anna, andbecame hopeless.

" Let me go to him!" she cried in agony." Take me to bim ! My husband 0, takeme to my husband !"

Santa Anna tpoke to the guardsmen. ." Is is well. Let her see bim. Half annour, more or Jess, ia of smal! accountBut see to it that tbe man is dead when tbeclock strikes one."

,The Jady wrung her bands. The General'i mercilene words had hardly diedaway, when he was again alone. Tbeguard, eager and earnest, had departedwith the ladjj and in Santa Anna's besom

J

there was left the memory of her agony likea haunting spirit.

Io tbe ravine, half an hour after, downamong the dense shadows of the bushes,half a dfien torches threw a lurid light ona score of glittering bayonets, a prisonerstripped for execution, and a fainting wo-

man. The prisoner was Rodrigo, standingthere with folded arms.

" Quick !" be cried. " quick I 1 cannotwitness her agony ! Let tbe blow full, be-

fore sorrow unmans me !"0, the despairing firmness of that voice!

Tbe parting words had all been said theparting kisses had all been given, and,fainting with despair, tbe lovely Inex hadbeen torn from her husband's arms. Nowshe lay there upon the ground, her headsupported by a kneeling eoldier, whileanother was bathing her hands and browwith water.

"Why this delay?" ejaculated Rudrigo." It ia torture to me. Let toe give theword ready, aim, fire " '"The eo1dters did not obey tbe "prisoner.

It was only when their lieutenant repeatedtbe word " ready I" that their musket bar-rels dropped from their ehoutders to theirhands, and the sharp click was heard asthey ooeked their peces.

" Aim !' and up tbe dozen muskets went,and the soldiers eyes gleamed along thotubes to see that tbe muzzles pointed fullat the bosom of Pinon el Rodrigo.

Just then the prisoner spoke a lastejaculation :

' My wife, Inex de Rimenas, farewell !

Heaven keep you I"It was the maiden name of his wife that

the doomed man had uttered. The word" fire" was just trembling on the Lisuten-ant'- e

lips" Hold, I command you, on the pain of

death!" thundered a new voice. A cloakedform, which had hitherto been concealed inthe shadow of a tree, came forward. Iam your General. Platoon, shoulderarras I"

The pieces, undischargsd, were thrownto a perpendicular poaition again, and allpresent stood in fixed surprise.

" Prisoner," cried Santa Anna, " youcalled ber Rimenas. Where was w0urwife born ?"

" In the hacienda of Los Formio," re-turned the astonished prisoner. " Herfather's name was Juan."

Thank the saints! thank the saints !"cried the chief. " It is the daughter ofIsabel de Rimena. Isabel was my bene-factor years ago. I have a debt of grati-tude to pay. Inez Irex de Rimena. wifeof Rwdiigo, arise I" and he stooped andtenderly took the lady's band. "Yourhusband is pardoned!"

That glnd announcement was a potentcharm. A minute only elapsed, and hus-band and wife were in each other's arms,Inez weeping tears of j y.

Santa Anna softly withdrew to his pa-vilion.

Xext day when the fierce battle of BucnaVista was fought, when, fur many longhours, less than five thousand Americansbore up against the repeated charges oftwenty thousand Mexicans, no man wasfound fighting mjre bravely for tbe chil-dren of the sun than tbe captain of theGuadalajara company of light iufautryPinon e! Rodrigo.

And when at last, shattered and routed,tbe Mexican army retired, and left theAmericans to mourn tho loss of a large p.trtof their effective furce. Captain Rodrigowas to be found in the suite of Santa Anna

for even in the hour of defeat the merci-less Mexican chief bad not failed to re-member the debt of gratitude he owed tothe mother of Inez Isabel de Rimenas.

Thus it is, that in every man's careerthere are bright spots to be found, thatshould shine like stars so long as his nameis remembered amot.g men.

Cliiuese Views or Death.There is nothing in the Chinese charac-

ter more striking than tho apathy withwhich they undergo afflictions, or the resig-nation with which they bear them. Thereis so much elasticity in their dispositionthat toe most OT, pi site changes in theirdisposition have hot little effect. A cooliecan admirably ape the dignity of the man-dari- u

when promoted ; and a disgracedoflicial or ruined n.erchant who bad fordieily lived in luxury, appears littlet regret the change be has undergone.There is no fear of death amongst them,though they have acharaeter fore iwardioe.It is true they have the relics of the deadconstantly before their eyes. The countryis covered with graves, and in many placesabout Shanghai the coffins are openly ex-posed in the fields. They are even kept intheir bouses till a propitious day arrivesfor the burial, months passing bv sometimesbelore the body is removed.

"When the

cofiin is decayed, the bones are carefullygathered ; and in a country walk one veryoften comes upon jars containing " pottedancestors " Money is saved for the lur-chas- e

of a coffin, and it is put by ready foruse. The first time I saw this, was in alittle cottage near Shanghai. There was.an old cobwebbed coffiti in the corner. Iasked a young lad why it was there ; hequietly pointed with hie thumb over hisshoulder t his grandmother, standing closeby, and said it was for her! She was veryold, and was nearly wcarit.g out the coffinbefore she was put into it. At funerals,females are hired to do the " inconsolablegrief" parts of tbe perfortnonco. It seemsvery ridiculous' that such a custom shouldbe kept up, when it is known by every bodythat the mourners howl for hire. Thevcertainly work hard for their money, andthtir piteous moans would be heartrendingif tbey were real. Ticelce Years in China

How the Monset's Kill Snakes. Thebanyan tree is the favored habitation ofthese monkeys ; and among its branchesthey play strange antics undisturbed byany foes excepting snakes. These reptilesare greatly dreaded by tbe monkevs, andwith good reason. However, it is said thatthe monkeye kill many more snakes inproportion to their loss, and do so with acuriously refined cruelty. A enako maybe coiled among the branches of the ban-yan, fast asleep, wben it is spied by a Hoonumsn. After satisfying himself that thereptile is really sleeping, tbe monkey stealsupon it noiselessly, grasps it by the neck,tears it from the branches, and hurries withit to the gronnd. He then runs to a flatstone, and begins to grind down the rep-tile's head upon it, grinning and chatteringwith rapture and delight and at the writh-ing and useless smuggles of the torturedsnake, and occasionally inspecting his workto see how it is progressing. When he hasrubbed away the animal's jaws, so as todeprive it of its poisoned fangs, he holdsgreat rejoicings over his helpless foe, andtossing it to the young monkeys, lookscomplacently at its destruction.

A Xarrow Escape.'AN INCIDENT OF TUB WAR Of ISM.

About the middle of December, 1813, tbegarrison in charge of Fort Niagara, at themouth of the Niagara river, was surprisedby a large party of British and Indians,whereby tbe American frontier, fromYoungrtown to Buffalo, was laid open tothe depredations of tbe savages. i

One of the moat flourishing Americanvillages on tbe Niagara, was Lewiston,situated opposite to the Canadian villageof Queeti8town ; nnd as the inhabitants ofLewiston had been active in the defence ofthe frontier, the enemy doomed tbe placeto speedy destruction.

When the flames and smoke was s-- 'cending from tbe wanton conflagration fYoungstown, and tbe parties of villagersflying from the murderous savages, notofiedthe people of Lewiston of what would soonbe the fate of their own homes and familioia-ever-

one was thrown into the utmost con-fusion and alarav-n- d eowght-eafet- v it.,flight.

Among tbe last to escape, were twobrothers named Lotbrop and Bates Cook,the former of whom, a few days previous,had had his right leg amputated above tbeknee, and was now a helpless invalid.

Lothrop, who in bis crippled conditionhad no hope of escaping the scalping knifeof the savages, begged bis brother to leavehim, and fly for his life. But the generousman had no such intention.

With all the baste possible. Bates, aftergetting the team and sleigh to the door,managed to drag the bed. on which bisbrother lay, upon the vehicle; and throwing in clothing, nnd such other necessariesas came nearest to hand, started tiff in therear of the flying fugitives. But so roughwas the ground, that the wounded youthcould endure other than tbe slowest motion.

Bates, therefore, found it necessary forbim to restrain his team to the slowestwalk, while be could see in his rear tbeflames bursting out of the doors and win-dows of the house they bad Just quitted,and the yells and war whoops of the drunk-en Indians rang with startling effect in bisears.

House after hnnse was fired, and beforethe young men had reached the top of thehill on their way out of the place, tbe entire village was wrapped in flumes.

They could ece the painted warriors,wild with drink, and bedecked with theplunder of the stores, dancing and howlingin the streets, like so many incarnate de-mons; and mingled here and there amongthem, and dodging in and out of the burning buildings, their British associates, asbusily engaged in the work of plunder asthe savages; while obscene oaths anddrunken songs attested their infernal joy.

On the other hand, as they moved slowlyalong, they could see teams and groups oftheir neighbors and friends disappearingrapidly in the distance, while tbey wereforced to move along slowly and exposed tothe first party of drunken and infuriatedsavages who might espy them.

Moving thus along, they had proceededsomething like a half a mile from the smok-ing village, when on ascending an emin-ence, Bates was startled by a fierce war-who- op

in their rear, and to bis horrordiscovered a band of savages in pursuit ofthem, and wildly gesticulutiog for bim tostop.

In the excitement nrgWbis team to a faster gait ; but a cry of painfrom Lothrop caused him to slacken speedagain ; and catching up a gun he had hadthe forethought to throw into the sleigh, beprepared to defend bis helpless brother tothe last,

Lothrop, now perceiving the danger tbeywere in, and knowing in bis feelde condi-tion that escape was hopeless, unless swifter progress could be made, begged hisbrother to drive on. At least it could onlybe death to him ; and if tho motion of thesleigh over the rough ground should killbim, he thought it would certainly be betterthan to fall into the hands of their merci-less pursuers

The Indians, dashing on, were soon inhailing distance, and in broken Englishthreatened Bates with the most cruel tortures if be did not stop, but be refused toobey.

Soon coming up with the sleigh, tho sav-ages began to chase Bate round aud roundit, but from some oversight paid no atten-tion to his helpless brother. At last. Batessnatched the gun from the sleigh, and runoff to one side of the road, to draw the In-dians, if possible, away from Lotbrop. Theruse partially succeeded ; but as a fiercelooking Indian pursued Bates moro closelythan was consistent with bis safety, beturned suddenly, and levelling bis gun atthe savage, fired. The Indian gave a ter-rific yell, leaped into the air, ran a fewpaces, and fell dead. The death of theirleader exasperated the savages to the lastdegree, and tbey were about to wreak thebloodiest vengeance on the brothers, whento their right, upon the side of the moun-tain, they heard a wild, ringing war-who- op,

and the next instant a volley ofrifle shots whistled towards them ; and several of the pursuers fell killed and woundedto the ground.

This new party proved to be a band offriendly Tuscsroras, under Little Chief,who, bearing the firing along the road,hastened to reconnoitre, and seeing the twobrothers, whom they immediately recog-nized, thus beset, ran down the bill to theirrelief; and of the fifteen or tweuty savageswho pursued the villagers, scarcely one-four- th

returned to tell the fate of theircompanions.

Bates Cook afterwards became Controllerof the State of New York, aud Lothropoccupied many positions of trust and distinction, but both now sleep their lastsleep.

Our Batten is. Mr. Spillman had justmarried a second wife. One day after thewedding, Mr. S. remarked :

' I intend, Mrs. Spillman, to enlarge mydairy.'

Yoo mean onr dairy, my dear,' repliedMrs. Spillman.

No,' quoth Mr. Spillman, ' I intend toenlarge my dairy.'

Say our dairy, Mr. Spillman.'' No, my dairy.'' Say our dairy, say onr ,' screamed

she, seising the poker.' My dairy, my dairy 1' yelled the hus-

band. . .

'Our dairy, our dairy!' re echoed thewife, emphasizing each word with a blowon tbe back of ber cringing spouse.

roa the Springfield Rrpobllcaa.MISS MARY'S BLUE II AT.

My friend Kelly was walking down Mainstreet, Milwaukee, last autumn, in a brownstudy upon some abstruse subject, his vis-ion horix mtal and vacant, his step rapidand careless, when just as he had fordedone or tbe crossing streets and lifted onefoot to place it upon the curbstone, a big,but cowardly, yellow dog came sweepingalong, followed by a black animal of tbesame specie. The yellow dog whizzed pasthira, but the black specimen, oblivious toall things but the object of pursuit, asevery dog nhould be on such an occasion,and, possibly, somewhat under the controltf his own momentum, struck Kelly's per-pendicular leg, while tbe other was walk-ing, and knocked it out from uuder him.My friend went down instanter. nis glos-sy beaver bounced upon the pavement,andContinued iu journey. Spectacles dancedjingling into the gutter, while bia shawlstuck against a shopman's window like apaper pellet on a wall.' Kelly gathered himself together, pickedhimself up, end looked after tbe dog thatbad done the mischief, expecting to findb im "hove to" in canine dismay at the ac-cident he bad caused ; but, to bis utter astonisbinetit, the animal seemed as regard-less of his equilibrium as of any othertrivial matter, and was making after theaforesaid yellow dog at as great speed asthough be bad not tipped over tbe best fellow in Wisconsin.

While my friend was down, a clear, mu-sical, girlish laugh had rung out upon tbeoir. It was so evidently spontaneous, socharmingly musical, was so suddenlychecked, and withal so good a cause, thatKelly could scarcely be angry or even dis-concerted.

When the gentleman had recoveredfrom bis surprise at the heedlessness of tbequadruped, be bethought bim of the music.There were half adozon ladies io view.butby a trigonometrical calculation he reachedthe conclusion that the louh must bavecme from either a dainty little blue batwith delicate, straw colored trimmings, ora decidedly sober and ancient brown one

the two being in conjunction. 01 coursehe fastened upon the blue but ; for neversince the flood did a grave, unfushionablebonnet give out such gushing laughter asthat.

Kelly was not a city gentleman not be.lie was a squire in a rural town, a leaderof town affairs A man of mark ; to whomtbe village politicians looked for shrewdestcounsels, on whom abused peoplo calledfor advice and redress, and in whose bandsfriend! ess widows put tbe management ottheir scanty estates, sure that all would bedone for them and the little orphans, thattact, fidelity, nnd a warm heart could ac-complish.

The blue hat was a city hat ; and thebrown hair it covered, together with tbehazel eyes that sparkled iu front of it, wereof eity growth. But tbe sober, brown bonnet was a rural affair ; and tbe lady underit was a rural aunt of good dimensions,both person and heart. Bofore the catastropbe which brought out the laughter, theaunt was listening attentively to the lady'svery eager request that she would try andprocure her a school near her countryhome; after the accident the brown bonnetgave a very appropriate and impressivelec'.ure on the impropriety of laughingout that way, "when tbe street was lull ofJu.k.".... ,

"Why, who could help it, auntie? Didyou ever see anything so funny T Laugh 1I didn't laugh it laughed itsr'ir. O, dear,"and then the little figure trembled from batto slipper under the shaking of suppressedmerriment. Indeed, to escape anotherlecture, she bad to cover lips, nose, andeyes almost, in scented linen cambric.

"Well, you sec, auntie." said the littleblue hat, recurring to the former topic,"father isn't rich, indeed I don't think beis as well off as he seems to be ; family islarge all girls, too, just a bill of expenseyou know, and 1 don't like to have fatherfurnish me music lessons any longer, forI know he can't afford it. But I wouldn'tgive up my music for the world ; only Iwant to pay part of the expense myself.Father isn't able.be looks more and morecare won every day. I am really afraid,"aud here the the Voice fell and becamevery serious, "I am really afraid things aregoing wrong with bim. Besides, I wantto be doing something, I'm a belter girlwhen I am not a drone, and dependent.Yes, auntie, I must and will have a school

there! W ill you help me ?"The brown bonnet caught the girl's en

thusiasm and promised.You must have known, reader, from tbe

brief description ot try friend Kelly, thatbe was the town school superintendent.Who else was so well qualified to lookafter the interest of the public schools?

One morning at six o'clock, my friendrises at fire, and has a good fire in hisoffice and an appetite fur breafast at six,a rap fell upoti the outer door. Kelly roseund opened it.

"Good morning ladies ! walk in."Tho brown bonnet said "good morning"

with dignity ; the blue bat pronounced tbesame blessitig timidly ; both walked in.

"My nieee would like to be examined totake the school in our district."

Certainly," said the town superintend-ent, laying the poker on the table, "Cer-tainly your aunt beg pardon your nieceshall be examined, madam. Warm morn-ing, marm," wiping tbe perspirationfrom his face with a 6beet of blotting pa-per.

"Bless you ! it's tbe coldest morningwe've bad this fall," said tbe astonishedaunt "Why, Mary's face has been like apeony, all the way, ridin' in the wind.Jest look at it,"

There was no need ; for my friend badseen something more than tbe blue hat,some minutes before.

"Certainly, madam, certainly veryred I mean very cold indeed, ma'am,very."

The town superintendent was not long,however, in getting better possession cf bisfaculties ; and at length the examinationcommenced.

"Your residence, if yon please," eaidKelly blandly.

"Milwaukee," timidly."May I ask where you were educated?"

continued tbe questioner, looking for onceinto the eyes wbich were sparklingdespite the blushing embarrassed features.

"In tbe public schools, sir.""Iid you graduate?""Yea, air.""May I look at your diploma?"The ladv handed a mil tied with ' blue

ribbon. Kelly tried hard to untie it. butsoon got the knot in a very had fix Thepretty fingers of tbe blue 'hat were calledinto requisition, and the knot wasconquredclose before him under his eyes. Openingtbe roll

"Mary Denver ! Is tbat your name ?""Yes. sir.""Your father's same 7""Charles.""Merchant?""Yes, air.""Why, I was clerk in his store wben yoo

were a child. lie was the noblest employerI ever had made me all I am. I meanthat be made me upright for that is all Iam, anyway."

Kelly promised a eertifieate eaid bewould bring it over next day, which bedid. :

During tbe whole term be was veryfaithful! ia his official visits to the sob oof,

Aand just before the close of the session myfriend said

" Mary, I wouldn't teach any more."" O. I mu-- t. I like it, besides, I haven'taccomplished half 1 want to, jet."" What do you want to accomplish ?"" I want to continue my music."

"What else?"" I want to clothe Mir.ie."" I want to feel that I am useful, that I

am doing something."" I want to Lire you Mary ; and will pay

you wages tbat will enable you to do allthis "

"You want to hire me I What can I dofor yu 1"

)fKeep my house, and be my wife, Ma

And then tbe town superintendent gotbis arm around Mary'e waist and held hertight, though ebe struggled a little atfirrt.

" Let me go a moment, and I will tellyou."

He released the little rlgure, and Marystood before him, trembling, blushing twining tbe strings ofthe blue hat er. uiidTieffinger, looking down upon the fl mt. gUncing once into bis earnest eyes, her hreurtrising aud falling till the cameo awayedlike a ship upon billows.

" D. you love me?"" With my whole soul."" Did you ever love anybody else ?"" Never, in all my life."u Can a little girl like me" looking

earnestly in his face "can a little girllike me, devoted, loviog you almost toreverence, make yoo happy always ?"" None in all the world but you."

The little maiden stepped close to hisside, and hid herself under bis arm.

The jaunty blue hat is io a favorite clos-et in my friend's new house, in a glasscase, on the under shelf.

A 31 an Hilled by a Lion.Yesterday inori.ii.g terrible encounter

took place at Ashley's Amphitheatre. Anunder groom under Suiitli was literallythrottled t death by one of the lions w hi. l,play so prominent a part in the holidayentertainment, at that favorite place ofamusement. The lions, three in number,are confined in a cage at the back of thestage. When the night watchman left tbetheater yesterday morning, a few minutesbefore 7 o'clock, he reported "all right."Shortly afterward Smith, the deceased,entered the place and found tbe lions prowling about. Tbey had lorn off a heavy ironbar which crossed the front of their cage,and then burst open the door. Smith wasalone, and not being familiar with tbe an-imals be attempted to escape into an ad-joining stable yard.

His eitoatiou was a frightful one, andmost men woeald have acted precisely as bedid under aimilar circumstances ; but theprobability is tbat if be had stood bisground boldly his life would bave beensaved. ...Unfortunately ,ore of. the ' irrethat which is known by the noma .f Have-loc- k

caught sight of bis retreating figure,nnd instantly sprang upon him. It seisedhim by the haunches, pulled bim to tbeground and then fixed it teeth in histhroat. Death must bare beeti almost in-stantaneous, but as Smith was found agood deal cut and bruised at the back ofthe bead, it is supposed that the lion, ufterburying its fargs in his throat, draggedbim about and dashed his head against'theground, it seems, in fact, to have worried i

mm, mougn me wounds inflicted by thebrute are neither so numerous nor s i severe as might have been expected. Therewas no cries for help, but a sort of shufflingnoise was beard by a man in the stableyard. He suspected what bad occurred,and did not venture to open tbe d.x.rthrough which Smith had endeavored toescape, but gave the alarm, and in a fewminutes was joir.ed by several grooms andothers connected with the theatre.

They were all, however, too much afra'dto enter the place, and nothing was doneto ascertain the fate of Smith until thearrival of Crockett, the Lion Conqueror, towhom tbe animals belong. As soon as bereached the spot be pissed through tbedoor alone, none of the others daring tofollow. The bodr of Smith was lvmvupward a few feet from the door, llavt Io, k i

was crouching over it as a hungry d. g I

crouches over a piece of t eat. Cri-k.tt- j

immediately threw the animal .ff ai d'

aranged the body into the yard. It wasstill warm, but life had been extinct f rsome time. A surgeon was sent fir, butof course be could render no assi-tsnc- e.

Crockett lust no time in securing the lions.They allowed bim to capture thrm easilyenough. Even Ilavelock did not off;r anyresistance, and tbe other two, wbich badtaken no part iu tbe terrible scene withSmith, seemed rather afraid than other-wise. In a few minutes all three wereback in their cage again, and last nighttbey went through their usual performancesbefore a crowded audience. Smith wasunmarried. There will, of course, be aninquiry into tbe circumstances which at-tended the unhappy man'e death. LondonTimet, Jan. 8.

Own tocr own Hoist.

Benefit or Advertising. It is oftenthe case that men come into our office andinquire for late papers published in someparticular place, saying'they would like tfind somebody's advertisement. Tbey Fitdowo and look tbe paper over, and "it isoften tbe case tbat they are unable t fin Jthe desired information. N .t long since,in a Utica paper, a gentleman was iH.kirvfor tbe names and address of an Albanyfirm to which be desired to make a con-signment, but not finding it io the Albanypapers, he made the reaiaik that he wouldship to a firm that did advertise, althoughnot liking their reputation. This iso.ieofmany instances, and proves conclusivelythat business men should advertise, if it isnothing more than tbeir business cards.

Thewar or 1T56. waged in the heart t.f Europe,left in one instance no less than twentycontiguous villaees wi'bout man or beast.The thirty years' war in the 17th centuryreduced the population cf Germany from12.W0.tXX) t 3,000.000 three fourths;and tbat of Wertemburg from 500 COO to4,IHJU more than nine tenths ! thirtythousand villages were destroyed ; in uanjothers the population entirely died out;and io districts onoe studded with townsand cities, there sprang up immense for-ests.

Ust Ixteliectcal Pixt. Tate ouradvice, young women, and, iu seeking forhusbands, never mind painting your cheekebut col r up your heart and conscience tothe ruddiest glow of honor and honesty.Never mind the Vinaiyre de Iltrpu, but"go it s'roog," by all means, on virtuousprinciples. Toss aside, as of little moment,the " lilly white " and tbe meen fun,"but adhere tenaciously to the daily use ofa liberal chsrity, and never forget that the" meanest kind of fun " is that wbich isinaulged in at tbe expense of morality orintegrity. An old writer has well eaidthat " women, in fishing for husbands, relrtoo much on the:r personal instead cf theirmental charms." They forget that an en-ticing bait is of little value, with a sensible'fish, unless it be accompanied It goodho k, a proper line, and a suitable landiDgnet." And remem ber tbat however erratic)a man may be himself in tbe stricter prin-ciples of moral purity, he is never willingto indorse a similar recklessness on the parsof the worcan be would make his wife. Infact, as a general rule, the worse a man isthe better be prefers his wife to be per-haps in the selfish idea that ber excellencemay atone, so far, for bis want of it, andperhaps because vice is cf necessity com-pelled to pay homage to virtue.
