LOGAN'S LAMENT.
BV MARY OF MIFFLIV.
Behind the Alleghenia's frowning brow
The sun has set—the brightened sky grows
dim—
| The earth is lonely, very lonely now,
The wailing night-winds cbaunt their mourn
ful hymn.
Along the Juniata's woody shore,
I wander, from this cold, cold world apart;
No more the chase hath charms for me ; no
more
The voice of kindred cheers this lonely heart.
When budding forests hail'd the coming spring.
My ritle startled the unbroken gloom,
While death o'ertook the forest's grizly king,
And smites welcomed the weary hunter home.
But when the wintry blast was making moan,
And from the wind-top'd bough the brown
nut fell,
The red knife ceased to wake the dying groan,
Or silent arrow the triumphant yell.
Dire passions in this troubled bosom rave ;
Dark hate pervades where friend-hip once
has been,
Since the proud flood tashed back its gorv wave,
Red with the blood of Logan's murdcr'd kin.
Their bark wassporting when the waters rush'd.
Freighted with innocence, it knew no dread :
The white man's aim was true—the bright wave
blushed,
To see shame's halo darken round his head.
Now w hen the quivering twilight shadows fall.
Like restless sprites, athwart the desert's
gloom,
The panther's scream, the wild wolf's bloodv
howl,
Is all my welcome to my cabin home.
Ever around my vision-haunted rest,
The spirits of the lost are lingering there ;
Uncov'ring each the bleeding, wounded breast,
Then shrieking "vengeance" vanish into air.
A sigh—a wail—across the forest flics;
A shriek—a groau—the changeless echoes
bear:
Aye, u vengeance," my storm-stricken soul re
plies,
The willing bow is bent—white man beware !

GOOD NIGHT. —"Good night!" In that
expression ot kindness how sweet anil .
soothing a sentiment is conveyed. The
'.oils of the day are over ; the fervent heat
of noon is past; that maddening pursuit
after gain is suspended ; and mankind sunk
in the arms o( sleep enjoy a temporary
as\ lum from care of mind and enervation of
body. Even from guilt beneficent nature
withulds not the solace of repose, and pas- !
sing through the " ivory gate of dream-"
the days of youth, of happiness, of inno
cence in shadowy glory flit before the
soul. Insupportable, indeed, would be the
heavy tribulation which, in our pilgiimage
through life, we must endure, were it not
for those intermittent seasons of rest
which isalike the privilege of the house
less wanderer and the palaced lord to en
joy. And night, gentle night, is the ten
der nurse thai wuos the toil exhausted
frame to steep its cures in calm forgetful
riess- The wise provisions of nature in
dicate the season for repose ; and her hen- j
eficent laws are reverenced and obeyed
by all save the being for whose comfort
and happiness they were chiefly promul
gated. When the sun withdraws from
the heavens, and the earth is shrouded in
darkness, the labors of industry cease ; the
flowers, closing their petals, defended from
the chilling dews of evening, and that
sweet watchman of the grove, the nightin
gale, thrills forth in wild and varied ca
dences, the parting song •' Good Night.
Cynthia, and her glittering train of stars,
robed in the grandeur of eternal light,
come forth and hover above the earth and
fts children like fair and holy spirits keep
ing vigils over mortal sleepers, and precerv '
ing them from the influence of the powers
of darkness.
1 NFLt-'EIVEE OF CLEASLINESS. — A neat
and clean, fresh aired, sweet, cheerful and
well arranged house, exercises a moral as
well as a physical influence over its in
mates, and makes the members of n family
peaceable, und considerate of the feelings
arid happiness of each other ! The con
nection is obvious between the stale of
mind thus produced, and habits of respect
for others, and those higher duties and ob
ligations which no law can enfotce.
On the contrary, a filthy, squalid, and
noxious dwelling, rendered still more so
by its noisome site, and in which none ol
the decencies of life can be observed, con
tributes to make its unfortunate inhabitants
selfish, sensual, and regardless of the feel
ings of each other; the constant indulgence
of such passions renders ihem brutal and
reckless, and the transition is natural to
propensities and habits incompatible with
a respect for the property of others, or for
the luws.
Men are like bugles—the moio brass
they contain the further you Can hear ihem.
Ladies are like violets —the more modest
and retiring they appear the better you
love thein.

SATURDAY,
WATCHING FOR A TIGIiH.
The spot [ selected was the edge of a
lank where a tiger used to drink. There
was a large tamarind uee on its banks, and
here 1 took my post. A village shikaree
accompanied me : and soon after sunset we
l took up our position on a branch about
j twelve leet from the ground. 1 should
i fi'.'st mention that we fastened an unfortu
! nale bullock under the tree for a bait.
j Well, we remained quietly on our perch for
■ a couple ot hours without moving, it might
be eight o'clock, the moon had risen, and
j so clear was the light, that we could see
: jackals, at the distance of hulf a mile,
sneaking along towards the village, when
a party ot llrinpassiea passing by, stopped
to water their bullocks at the tank.
1 hey loitered lor some time; and, becom
ing impatient, 1 gul off the tree with a
single nfte in my hand, and walked tow
ards them, telling them that I was wa'ch
-1 ing a tiger, upon which they started off
immediately. 1 was sauntering back to
my posi, never dreaming ul danger, when
the shikaree gave a low whistle, and
at the same moment a growl rise from
some bushes between rne and the tree.
To make my situation quite decided, 1 saw
his, (the shikaree's,) black arm pointing
nearly straight under Imn, on my side of
ins post. It was veiy evident, that I could
not regain the tree, although I was within
twenty yards ot it. 1 here was nothing
tor me but to dtop behind a bush and leave
the rest to Providence. Ifl had moved
then, the tiger wonld have had me to a
certainty ; besides, I trusted to his killing
the bullock, and returning to the jungle as
soon as he bad finished his supper. It
w as terrible to bear the moans of the w retch
ed buiiock when the tiger approached.—
lie would run to the end of his rope, ma
king desperate efforts to break it, and then
he down, shaking in every limb, and bel
lowing in the most piteous manner. The
tiger saw him plain enough ; but suspect
ing something wrong, he walked growling
around the tree, as if he did not observe him.
At last he made a fatal spring, with a hor
rid shriek rather thai, a roar. I could hear
the tortured bullock struggling under him,
uttering faint cries, which became more
and more leebie every instant, and the
heavy breathing, hall growl, half snort ot
the monster, as he hung to ihe neck, suck
mg his life blood. 1 know not what pos
sessed me tins moment, but 1 could not
resist the temptation ofa shot. 1 crept up
softly within ten yards of bira, and kneel
ing behind a clump of dates, took a de
liberate aim at his head, while le lay with
bis nose buried in the bullock's throat.—
He started with an angry roar from the
carcass when the ball hit him. He mood
listening for a moment, then dropped in
front ot rne, uttering a sullen growl.—
I here was nothing but a date bush between
us ; I had no weapon but my dischaiged
rifle. 1 felt for my pistols, they had been
left on the tree. Then 1 felt that my hour
was come, and all the sins of my life flush
ed with dreadful distinctness across mv
mind. 1 muttered a short prayer, ami
tried to prepare for death, which seemed
inevitable, But what was inv peon about all
this time ? he had the spare guns with him!
Oh, as 1 afterwards learned, the poor fel
low, was trying to fire my double rifle, but
all my locks have bolts which he did not
understand anu lie could not cock it. He
was a good shikaree, ami knew that was
my only chance, so when lie could do no
good did nothing. It .Moliadeen had been
there he would soon have relieved me; but
1 had sent him in another direction that
day. Well, some minutes passed thus.
The tiger made no attempt to come at
me ; a ray of hope cheered me ; he might
be dying. I peeped through the tranches,
but my heart sunk within trie when his
bright green eyes met mine and bis hot
breath absolutely blew in my face. 1
siipl back upon my knee in despair, and a
growl warned me that slight movement
was noticed. Hut why did he nut attack
me at on6e. A tiger is a suspicious, cow
ardly brute, and will seldom charge unless
he sees distinctly. Now 1 was quite con
coaled by the dale leaves, and while 1 re
mumed perfectly quiet i bad still a chance.
Suspense was becoming intolerable. My
knees were bruised by the hard gravel, but
1 dared not move a joint. The torment
ing mosquitoes swarmed arour.d my face,
hut i feared to ra:>e my hand to brush
iheui elf. Whenever tlm wind milled ihe
leaves that sheltered rne, a harsh growl
grated through the stillness of the night. —
Hours that seemed years, roiled on, I could
hear the village gong strike each In ur of
that dreadful night, which 1 thought would
never end. At last came welcome dawn!
and oh, how gladly dul 1 hail the first
streak of light that shot up from the hor
ri/.on, for then the tiger rose and sulkily
stalked away to some distance. I felt thai
danger was passed and rose with a feeling
of relief which 1 cannot describe. Such
a night of suffering was enough lo turn my
brain and 1 only wondered that I survived
it. I now sent off the peon for the ele
phant, and before eight o'clock old Goli
ah had arrived. It was all over in five
minutes. The tiger rushed to meet me as
soon a9 I entered tlio cover, and one ball
in the chest dropped him down dead.—

Wouldn't Marry a Mechanic.
A young man commenced visiting a
young woman, and appeared to be well
pleased. One evening he called when it
was quite late, which ied the girl to inquire
where he had been.
"1 had to work to-night."
"Do you work for a living ?" inquired
the astonished girl.
"Certainly," replied the young man, "I
am a mechanic."
"My brother doesn't work, and I dis
like the name of a mechanic and she
turned up iter pretty little nose.
That was the last lime the young me
chanic visited the young woman.— He is
now a wealthy mnn, and has one of the
best of women for his wife. The young
lady who disliked the name of a mechanic,
is now the wife of a miserable fool—a
regular vagrant about grog shops—and she,
poor rr>!S"fabie girl, is obliged to take in
wa-hing, in order to support herself and
children.
You dislike tho name of a mechanic—
w hose brothers do nothing but loaf and
dress—beware hw you treat young men
who work for a living.—Far better discard
the well fed pauper, with all his rings, jew
elry, brazeness, and pomposity, and lake
to your affections, the callous-handed, in
telligent and industrious mechanic. Thou
sands have bitterly legretted their folly,
who have turned their backs on honest in
dustry. A few years of bitter experience
have taught them a lesson. In this coun
t;y, no man or woman should be respected,
in our way of thinking, w ho will not work
bodily or menially, and who curl their bps
with t-c -r.i w lien introduced to a hardwork
trig man.
ACQUITTAL OF MRS. HowARD.-The trial !
and acquittal of Mrs. Howard, for the mur- !
der of a woman who hud supplanted her in
the affections of her husband, in Cincinnati,
ate characteristic and significant events.
I pon principles of strict justice, wecannot
reconcile the testimony and the verdict; •
but ilie variation of the jury from the exact
line of legal prescription, should serve as a
serious admonition against the invasion of
the marital rights and honor. The de
fence rested upon the plea of insanity, and
though legal insanity was nut made out,
yet a condition of mind was shown to pre
dominate, indicative of infuriated passions.
A woman of excitable temperament, deeply
wronged, robbed of her children, despoiled
of her rightful position, cast forth upon the
unpitying world, and, as she supposed, a
bout to be separated forever from her lit
tle ones, mocked, hated, slandered, she
conceived and executed aternble revenge.
It may be, that the guiltiest of the two
was not her victim ; that was not her fault.
The woman was the first she met, and in
that meeting the deceased introduced her
self as Mrs. Howard. " This,"says the
real .Mrs. Howard, '* roused all the demon
in me, and 1 sprang at her and said— 4 You
wretch, vou, I am Mrs. Howard!' and then
let her tmve it." Here is the desperation
of a defective mind. The moral resources
were inadequate io subdue the vindictive
sense of wrong; and even after the hom
icide, the woman is met with the stain of
blood upon her, kui'e in band, exclaiming,
" O, if i could only get hold of him !"
Nothing short of insanity could excuse
such a killing as this, although the wrong
woman had suffeted was one that the
law could not effectually redress, iiut the
jurj—and juries are but human—seized
upon the loop of insanity thrown towards
them by the defence, and thus relieved
themselves from the responsibility of their
oaths We cannot justify the verdict—
but who will condemn it ? Let it stand up- 1
on the records of the age as a stern admo
nition to the heartless and the unchaste.
European aml American Fighting.— !
The buttle <>l Nuvara, where Charles A! '
b< rt, of Sardinia, lost his crown, is de j
scribed in the Kuropean journals as a se- !
vere and destructive affair, in which the !
Sardinians sustained a bloody loss—lo wn, j
two thousand killed and wounded. The ;
idea of an army of fifty thousand being do- j
foaled after a loss of two thousand appears j
very surprising to us. who ate accustomed j
to the exploits of our little armies in Mex
ico, which were wont to gam brilliant vic
tories after losing one-fourth of their num
bers. II the brave I'i dmontese only had
some of our officers to command them, ■
old Radetzky would soon find himself as 1
much embarrassed as his old instructor in '
military tactics, Melas, was by Napoleon's
new fashioned mode of warfare, first dis
played in the vicinity of Radetzy'a recent
triumphs.
GEN. JOSEPH AVEZZANA, the lender of
the rebellion n Genoa, is said to have been
formerly a soldier in South America, and
subsequently a trader in New York. He
I commanded the National Guards ot Genoa,

Genoese account, which we find tn the
Courier de.t Etats Unis , states that 44 the
, municipality ot Genoa offered him 10,000 i
francs, to sustain hirn during his exile ; j
hut lie, with a disinterestedness equal to
his bravery, refused it, anil loft Genoa
with a sum of money barely sufficient to

I he adventurers bound to California should

or they will be puzzled when thev go to ihe
country, where even the mules under
stand no other language. One of a com
pany who started lrorn Vera Cruz could
not get his mule to budge, though he kick
ed, beat and cursed him in choicest Eng
j lish. The rr.ule only pricked up his ears
at the strange sounds. At length a Mex
ican gave him the word, *' mulas, vamo* t
sst, est,' and away the animal went at the
top of hts speed. The rtder now had as
great difficulty to stop him, ior he knew
no Spanish word, and was obliged to hire
an interpreter between him and his mule.

SAVE YOUR EGG SHELLS. —Eggs that
are to be used for puddings, custards,&c.,
should be nicely cleaned, before they are
broken, with a cloth dipped in strong vin
egar. Then, if, after being emptied of all
but the white that always remains sticking
to the inside, the shells are spread out and
dried, they serve as well for clearing cofTue
as isinglass, or any other substance gener
ally used for that purpose, with the addi.
tior.al advantage, that it costs nothing but
a little forethought.
