THOMAS. r About forty miles from Manilla, near a long Grange of mountains which take their rise on the sea coast, and extend through (he island of Ini* son, is an extensive jungle, which is thickly studded with a dense grqwlh of small trees or brushwood, and long dried grass, where hun dreds of animals lay wheeled dining daylight, and conic forth at night to seek their prey, and make darkness hideous with their howls and roars of rage and hunger. ' In this jungle, where none hut the most ad venturous sjtoriKnion Intrude, oud never alone. & email species of leopavdo, or tiger, finds a sure cover after a successful forage, during which the animal makes sad havoc among the cattle of the natives, destroying wantonly, even alter Its cppeliie has been lully satisfied by its thirst for blood. The /cupim/o is a powerful animal; although 'smaller than the Java liper. it possesses all of its activity and much of its boldness and feroci ty. With longer tushes, which look strong 1 enough to masticate iron, and paws aimed with i terrible claws, capable of stripping the flesh Ltrotfra limb with a single blow, it is no wonder I they arc diended by the natives, and suffered to 8 continue their warfare unchecked, excepting C through the agency of pits or a rude species of Kol-Wb made of wood resembling iron in its n consistency. Kvcn (lie latter are often torn to W l hy the fierce brute, who never ceases. | ' rom the moment ho finds that ho is a prison i cr, to work with tooth and 'claw, to relieve p himself from his unpleasant predicament. I have seen the hard wood splintered like a spruce log after being struck by a flash of lightning ; and thomaik of the animals tccthTcgcmbling the work of a cross-cut saw. The pits, or holes dug in (lie about fan feet deep* and covered over “with light Wiish, upon whlo.: are placed pieces’of strong; ly tainted meet, arc the only sure means of de stroying (licm-sts: vet such Is the indolence of the natives, they had rather Buffer than incom- I inode themselves by a few hours’ labor, and so [ thin oft the fierce denizens of the jungle. , My friend, Don Arturo, had, about three yc»nt before my arrival in xMauilla. purchased a large tract of land in the immediate Vtfeinily sof the jungle, where ho planted about twenty * thoufuiid trees, for the purpose of raising cof fee, an excellent variety of the berry being ex ported from the island.

Something light—cofi’eo, fried eggs, and tomatoes, chrncd rice and chicken, dried beef and shrimps, stuffed game, ond don’t for get the wine. Let it be cooling for the evening lunch.” ~ ° “Everything is ready, sonor,” replied the overseer: “\ve have expected you for the lost half hour, and supper has wailed that lime.” “Ah,” granted the Don. ns he limped into the house prepared for us—forty miles of riding having made the old man stifi—‘-Ah! them is nothing like sending word and provisions at the same lime. But tell me, how comcson the trees? Do they flourish?” • “Exceedingly well, senor,” replied the over seer. “And (ho cattle; has the stock increased?” “Not largely, sonor. Wc have been unfor tunate.” “How?" cried tho Spaniard : “do von pre tend to say that my imported cows are not well?” -Until Inst they Hirivotl; dnl • But what?” r-onnd ttio .Spaniard. . ■■The cursed tigers killed a cow and a calf last night, senor.” The expression of Don Arturo’s face at that moment was a puzzle. He wanted to scold the overseer for what the poor man could not help, and he longed to accuse his cowardice, yet fiared that the native would request his assist ance in helping him to rid the plantation of the brutes. “Why hnvo you not built Imps?” asked tile Spaniard at length. “f made two, but they lore them to pieces,” replied the man. • And pits —why have you not dug plts ? ” “I feared (hat the cattle would fall into them instead of the tigers, senor." “You feared no such thing.” cried the Don. “You are 100 lazy to dig them, although I al low you a dozen men to attend to the trees.” “ff the senor would but spend a few days in hunting the brutes while he is here, the plan tation would soon be freed,” the ninu said. “Mi-?” queried Ihc Don look after trees, not tigers.” • Hut the senor soul Inn rifle, nnd the ser vants tell me that he has killed a fierce nllipo lor nnd n huge boa constrictor without help.” ••Well, will. I'll think about it.” replied the Spaniard, considerably modified by the flat tery: flic supper was served, and after a hearty meal, we slmlli-d about the plantation until the falling dew warned us to seek shelter in the house. During the night wo heard the fierce roaring of a couple of tigers as they wandered around the cattle pen : but wo were too lin'd and sleepy'lo pay that otiention to them that their merits dcservid. Allen, to be sure, raised bis head anddisiemd fur a few minutes, os though undecided rjphclhcr he should risk a shot; but before he COVlld make up Inn mind, he* again dropped. dlfilij»pep, nnd..(i:d; put ,:ivuUe till morning.' *”• • .r— j-i - < At daylight we found (hat a young.hclfer had been killed and partly eaten. The sight rendered (he Don furious. He swpro hy all his patron Kolhts.lhnt he would dig pits oh ev ery rod of Ins hind, and use up nil the wood on the island building traps.-Jiut that he would exterminate the tigers from the jungle. | ‘•Now is our time," whispered Charley ! ••Let us nsk him lo accompany us on a tiger- i hunt while he is in his present humor." j "But he will refuse." * 1 "No. he won’t; his blond is np. nml until 1 he gels cool he will not care for fifty tigers." "Why not organize a bund of the natives, and have u hunt lo day. We can accompany them, and perhaps with n few lucky shots pre vent your cattle from being iron hied for some time lo come,” 1 said.speaking in a loud voice, so that the overseer and his assistants could hear mo. - "An excellent plan," replied the overseer; "1 can spare- eight or ten of the men. " "But you shall go also,” cried the Span lard. "The trees require attention just at the pre sent time. The moon is in its full, and not a day should be lost,” the overseer said, attempt ing to frame some excuse to stay at home. "The trees may sulKt.’’ exclaimed the Span iard. who was glad to find somebody more re luctant than himself "Get my rifle ready, and see that we have refreshments. .Go you must, and every one on the plantation accom panies us.” The overseer would have further remonstra ted. but an impatient look cut him short, and with a long face lie started all to obey the Dun’s orders. In an hour’s time wc were armed, and ready for the hunt. Our rifles were tried, to be cer* tain that they were not injured by their rough ride on tho team, while the natives were armed wUhihcir long sharp knives’; and poles about iwclvo-'fqct in length, terminating at the end with'points of iron, which they used.as spears, and could throw with wonderful accuracy, hit ting o mark the size of a man's hand at (he distance of thirty paces, so that a tiger, wc thought, would stand no kind of a chance, if one allowed itself. By the advice of one of the men, who had the care of tho cattle, wc struck across the plantation, and emerged near tho edge of the jungle. Trails of the brutes were quite dis tinct; and a tolerably good dog. n cross of the hound ana tnasllll, which wo had taken with us, began to exhibit signs ofhnpalicncc; while the natives hung back and declined to enter the thicket. Even Don Arturo, whom wo had hy acclamation elected,leader, thought we had belter postpone the trip 1 until the next day, when ho said that wo should fed mo he fresh, and in better hunting humor; and. if the truth must bo told, when I saw .the prints of the tiger.s claws, I wished tliat tW Spaniard’s advice might bo. taken, Although .1 didn’t dare uonfcBs.fi' for fear of beipg ridiculed by Alien who pushed on afitatT, and ejicburaged the Don’ ond natives, by‘declaring ‘that a tiger would never daro to fucbsuch a formidable body of men. • , , . , • ‘ With some difficulty ho managed to* get llm men to separate, and adyanfeo intfl'tlio Jungle, in the form of a crescent, intending to drivc ilio game before • until wo rcaohcd' annopcn place,where the herdsmen informed us wocquld sit and shoot as many of the animals os wo pleased, provided the natives, would only, beat the, bushes, which I was stronglyjnclincd to think they would not do. )Ve had not ad van ced morcThtnt iwerttV hr thirty paces before the dog commenced barking; then Wo hoard the crackling and rustling of,dried grass ; and presently a fear, that caused us to* look to tho priming of .our anil iiindo our blood hoi( through our veins, ond glance with some slight degree of apprehension at each oilier, as though' requiring support ing case of! necessity.

Singular os it may appear, but little blood flowed from the wound, and the poor dog, with a whimper, seated himself, ond tried to lick the spot where the tiger’s claw hod lorn him. “Let us consider on lhis,”crlcd Don Arturo, suddenly halting. i The Spaniard was but a few paces from Al len and myself— while the natives, as we | thought, were spread out on each side, having | been boating the bushes with their long poles, although for the last few minutes we had heard nothing of them. I Before we had time to answer Don Arturo’s 1 remark, two fierce roars, which followed each 1 other like claps of thunder, came dirccily from the Spaniard’s side ; and then he saw a pair of eyes' gleaming through the grass that looked like green globes, and just below the eyes was a mouth with the lips drawn back, revealing long white tushes, covered with foam. “Mi dios preievar,” muttered the Spaniard, dropping Ills gun, and staggering towards us as though Intoxicated, while his face turned pallid with fear. He had hardly uttered tho last word before I saw the tiger niuko a bold leap, high in the air, and alight within a few feet of the Don. With another roar, that awoke the echoes of that vast jungle, and which was answered by a dozen ani mals of tho same species, apparently within a few rods of ns, the tiger crouched for a spring upon the luckless Don. For an instant, I wguld not have given a farthing lor his life. I forgot that 1 carried a rifle—l could think of nothing but tho terrible leap and fierce eyes of tho brute, as lo crouched there, with his legs drawn well under him, and his glistening teeth displayed through his half opened mouth 5 and then I was awakened from my stupor by hearing tho report of Allen’s nfle—and I saw the tiger roll over and over, beating down the dry grass and stun ted bushes, in his struggles, and biting his thick hide in Ids (ury. ••Thank God, Charley, you have saved the Don’s life,” I cried, while the Spaniard only crossed himself, and muttered confusod prayers. “ Tiiere’s another one to come,” Allen shout cd, ramming down a bullet hurriedly. Sine enough, the cries of the wounded animal started tho mate from her lair; and with an an gry rear for revenge, she broke through the grass, and crouching liy tho bide of her nearly lifeless mate, surveyed us for a moment, as though demanding who had inflicted tho Injury. “ Fire first,” I heard somebody whisperat my elbow, and I drew up my rifle ami lef urivo. A shriek of rape and pain came from tho brute 1 hlio struggled to her feet, and strove to draw herself towards ua, but failing to do that, she rested upon her belly, and looked tho rage she felt. Tho bullet bad broken one of her fore and bind legs. In a few moments wo gazed at each other; and then Allen, moved by compassion, put an end to her sufferings. The death of the female end ed our tiger-hunting expedition for that day.— Wo found in the lair of the animals, throe voting tigers, not much larger than lap-dogs, and play ful as kittens. They wore taken io tho plnntn. tlon, and for some time remained on the estate, but at length getting too ferocious, they wcVo sold to nn Englishman, and went to London, for the Zoological Gardens of that city. ,-jThoSpan. lard iccovercd hla presence of mind as soon as jill danger was over, arid sniytdlvrafetl tho na- nt f ihw first-ptarirHit *4tger, although for tho life of mg I couldn’t .blame them. •I come here to When arils are about to crow a well trodden path where they are likely lo be disturbed, the soldiers weave themselves into a complete arch extending across the whole width of the path, under which the females and laborers hearing the larvin pass without the least exposure. The construction of the arch with their own bodies is one of jhe most singular and interes ting things to be met with in the history of insects. One nnl is raised entirely above the ground, by having one pair of his feet inter locked with the four feet of another standing tipiight. and the other pair with another in the same posture on the opposite side of the | arch. Any number of these arc formed. and they are bound to gtlhcr by other unts stretch, ing themselves lengthwise with the arch, and serving as trnnsvirse beam to hold the difler cut parts together. The andi, when formed, holds together with the greatest tenacity, and looks like a beautiful net-work of bends. I have frequently put the end of my cane under the arch, and raised it four or five feet from the ground, without letting a single nut fall. As soon as they ore.raised up. however, they be gin to unravel themselves . from cither end of the wreath ; but instead of dropping to (he ground, they mount up to the head of the cane, and umkc for the hand which has assail, cd them. When disturbed in this way, the whole body of soldiers spread themselves over a space of twenty or llin ty feci in diameter, over which neither beast or man can pass without getting some of them upon him, nod receiving a sharp nip. A horso can scarcely bo forced through them, and a dog never docs, except with a hound or leap, and even then Is sure to get one or more about his claws, which arc very, apt .to get hold of his lips in his attempt to reinovo 'them from his toes. If they come ncrosp a dead body of any kind, they encircle it, and by the time the whose column comes up. it is completely cover ed. They will remain by it until every parr tide of flesh )k consumed, even should it bo the carcass of an elephant, and require several days to complete their work. They’will at tack living animals with equal vehemence, and there is nothing of the animal race that can cf-. fectually resist them. A horse or‘cow shut up 1 in o . confined place, wuuld bo harrnssed to death in a few hours mid would be eaten up. except the hair und skeleton, in less than forty eight hours.

PATRIOTISM OF TUB BIBLE. • The following article from the Louisville (old school) Presbyterian paper reflects so vividly the principles we have advocated during the present canvass that we arc induced to insert it entire: “ The Christian who docs for his country all that the Bible requires him to do will be the very highest stylo of patriot. His religion re quires him to love all tnen, even deluding his enemies, and to do good to all men as he has opportunity. He is commanded to love his country, bat he is not permitted to hate other countries, and to tear them down that ho may build his own up. . Ho^should b-vehis whole country, and not simply the particular pdrtion of it in which hb resides. The patriotism of the Bible is wholly oppos ed to sectionalism, or the feeling which seeks to aggrandize one particular section of the coun try at the expense of the other. It was re marked of nations that their interests never clash with each other, though there may at times appear to lx* a conflict. The same re mark maybe mad? touching the interests.of different sections of one great country like ours. There may. at times, seem to be a conflict be-1 tween the interests of the North and the South, and the East aqd the West, but it is really not so.. If one member of the body politic suffers, albthe members of the body will sooner or la ter feel (he effects of it. That interest of any section which is promoted by the injury of an other section is only a temporary one. The prosperity promoted in such way will eventu ally be seen to be not a lasting prosperity, just as no man can be permanently prospered bribe ruin of his neighbors. He may appear for a season to prosper, but in the end their injury will be reflected back upon himself. It is impossible, therefore, in the very nature of the case, that Christian patriotism can-be sectional. It seeks to promote the interests of ; the whole country, because by so doing it best i promotes the welfare of every part of it. It I seeks no advantage far its section at the rx- • ponse of others. Mason and Dixon'slineisnot 1 (he boundary of its affections. If it breathes ] in the bosom of a man south of that line, it makes him rejoice In the prosperity of those of his fellow-citizens whose lots arc cost north of ’ it, os much ns does the prosperity of bis own section.' If it is found in a northern bosom, it is equally Os expansive. It embraces the South as well as the North in the arms of its love.— The Christian patriot ought to ask himself the question. 'How would I regard the measure or policy which 1 now advocate were I in the place of my follow-citizens in another section. What influence will my. favorite measures or men have upon the whole country, and not simply rn the part of it in wnich I reside?’ lie uld expand his mind, and take enlarged views of the subject. There is nothing narrow or contracted about Christianity. Those pro fessors of contracted views or feel ings hnvo them in spile of their religion, and not in virtue of it. If the enlarged,patriotism inculcated in the Bible could only become thor oughly predominant once more in tho heart of Christian men. at tho North and at the South— ' if they could be brought to lay aside all refer ence lo'thcir particular sections, and would all ' l?Rl4.^iW^*a*aii'Bcta|ur , J 4he'wliolb&unlry • -ri-the strifo which U how raging' with 6Uoh vi olcnco-whuld soon cease. •_ lf‘ tho North' would .ds lo thc-Soulh, and tbq South do to the North,' jOst ivlmt they would each have the other (o do to (hero Trtrir their circumstances reversed, all contention wmitd soon cease, ond 'peace and harmony would soon prevail again. This is precisely the kimlof patriotism which tho Bible j inculcates. Without tins no country as large as ours ia can hold together and prosper. With it. it mav flourish and grow stronger to the end | of lime.'* Female Dcaoty. “Dean Swift purposed to tax female beauty, and to leave every lady to rale her ow n charms. He said the tax would be cheerfully paid, and very productive.” “Fpntcnellc thus daintly compliments the sex, when he compares women and clocks—the former lo make us forget them.” “The standards of beauty In women vary with those of taste. Socrates calls beauty a short-lived tyraqy ; Plato, a privilege of na ture; Theophrastus, a silent cheat; Theocri tus, a delightful pctjudice : Comrades, a soli tary’kingdom : and Aristotle affirmed (hat it was,better than all the letters of recommenda tion in the world. “With the modern Greeks and other nations on the shores of the Mediterranean corputfiuy in the perfection of form in woman: and those very attributes which disgust the western Eu ropean, form the attractions of an oriental fair, ft was from the common and admired shape of Ai.t country-woman that Ilubcns in his pictures delights so much in a vulgar and oilous plump ness— when his master was desirous to repre sent the 'beautiful* ho had no idea of beauty under (wo hundred weight.

The hair ia a beautiful ornament of women, but it has al ways been a disputed point which color most becomes It. We account red hair an abomina tion : but In the time of Elizabeth i* found ad aiircrs. and was in fashion. Mary, queen of Scotland, wore red fronts Cleopatra was red haired ; and the Venitian ladies to Ibis day counterfeit yellow hair.” “After all that may bo Raid or sung about it. beauty is an undeniable fact, and its endow ment not lo be disparaged. Sydney Smith gives pome good advice on (bo subject. .‘Nev er tench fulsome morality. How exquisitively absurd to a glrj tbit beauty is of no value. Dress is of no use! Beauty is Of value— her Whole prdspeota and happiness in’ life may often depend open a «ow;gqwn or a becoming bonnet; if, she ban five groins of common sonse, she wilt And this out'.
