A Sister's Death.
Hit,- dlrd upon a winter's night,
A long, long time ago ;
When the large round moon had a winterr look,
As i( shone on ihe breast of the frozen brook,
And over the fields of snow.
As =he lay that night in the pale moonlight,
Whieli fell on her peaceful bed,
She seemed like the form of a sculptured saint,
V\ itliout sign of woe or of mortal taint,
With a glory around her head
With her eyelids closed, and her lips apart,
And her arms like the marble fair,
Crossed on her bosom, and gently piessej,
.-die lay, as she sank to her peaceful rest,
lu Hie mule repose of prayer.
When the morning broke ami we gazed again,
A smite to tier face seemed given ;
And though our spirns were crushed and sad,
The Christmas hells soon made us glad,
For we knew she woke in heaven.

Old Mr. Theysay
\Y ho has not heard of the world-re
nowned Mr. Theysay ? Ilis fame is fa
miliar with all men. everywhere. The
high and low, rich and poor, bond and free,
honored and despised, civilized and barba
rian, Catholic and Protestant, Musselmen
and Christian, all nations, kindreds, tribes
and tongues, have heard of Mr. Theysay.
His name is almost a household word.
Put who has ever given the world a histor\
of this eminent personage ? Numerous as
biographies are, no one has ever yet writ
ten and published the life of Mr. They
say. Pardon me if I undertake the task
of writing a brief history of him.
His Parentage. —His father's name is
Slander; his mother's, Tattle; of his
genealogy, nothing more is known. He
was horn in the town of Evil Report, in
the Kindom of Sin.
His Age. —lt is not known in what pre
cise age of the world Mr. They say was
horn. It is my opinion that he was born
soon after Adam and Eve were expelled
from the garden of Eden. It lam correct
in tins opinion, he must by this time be
verv far advanced in life, and we should
naturally expect to witness in him all tlie
evidences of feeble old age—gray hairs,
sunken eyes and palsied limbs. Hut he is
really as strong and active, as fresh and
fair, as hale and hearty as he ever was.
Remarkable old creature !
His Education. —Mr. Theysay's edu
cation is verv limited. What knowledge
lie lias obtained, is principally from hear
say ; hence he does not have any correct
knowledge of anything. His deficient ed
ucation has ever been a serious embarrass
ment to him, for he never dares to make a
positive assertion, hut guesses it's so, and
so on.
His Personal Hjipearunce. —I have
spoken of him as being as strong, as active,
etc., as he ever was. But who has ever
seen Mr. They say ? Have you ? Has
any one ? If any one has, I know not the
man. In my opinion he is as intangible
as Prof. Bush's resurrection body, which
we can neither see, handle, analyze, nor
describe. 4 But we know he exists, he
cause everybody is talking about him.'
And 1 have come to the paradoxical con
clusion, that he exists, and does not exist;
is everywhere and nowhere ; is responsi
ble and irresponsible—a sort of 4 will o'
the wisp, jack with the lantern' kind of
being, whose personal appearance can
never be described.
His Character. —lie is distinguished
for w iokedness.
1. He is a slanderer.
2. A deceivei.
fi. A liar.
•1. A peace-breaker.
f>. llve-rytiling that is bad, without pos
sessing one redeeming quality.
Header, is Mr. They say in your family?
Urive him thence, llarbor him not for a
moment. Listen not to his vile slanders.
He will involve you in trouble, while he
w ill escape.
Christian brother, has he visited your
little religious cuinmuuit) ? lb-ware of
miii. He will cause ' divisions to spring
iRBiHBmiD &sm mntowimSSD —
• 'lßCglg ffSTffISSTCSISIBg
up among you.' Let him influence you,
j and your once prosperous society will be
destroyed.
Playfulness of Animals
Small birds chase each other about in
play ,* but perhaps the conduct of the crane
and the trumpeter (Psophia crepitants) is
the most extraordinary. The latter stands
on one leg, hops about in the most eccen
tric manner, and throws somersets. The
Americans call it the mad bird ; expands
its wings, runs around in circles, leaps, and
throwing little stones and pieces of wood
in the air endeavors to catch them again,
or pretends to avoid them, as if afraid.
V> ater birds, such as ducks and geese,
dive alter each oilier and cleave the sur
! face of the water with outstretching neck
and flapping wings, throwing an abundant
spray around.
Deer often engage in a sham battle or a
trial of strength, by twisting their horns
together and pushing for the mastery. All
animals that pretend violence in their play
stop short of exercising it ; the dog takes
the greatest precaution not to injure bv bis
bite ; and the ourang outang, in wrestling
with his keeper, attempts to throw him,
and makes leints of hiiing him. Some
animals carry out in their play the sem
blance of catching their prey ! young eats,
lor instance, leap after small and moving
objects, even to the leaves strewed by the
autumn wind ; they crouch and steal for
ward ready for the spring ; the body quiv
ering and the tail vibrating with emotion,
they bound on the moving leaf, and again
sprnig forward at another. Kengger saw
young jaguars and couguars playing with
round substances like kittens.
\ oung lambs collect together on the lit
tle hillocks and eminences in their pas
tures, racing and sporting with each other
in the most interesting manner.
Birds ol the I'ic kind arc the analogies
oi monkeys, lull of mischief, play and
mimicry. There is a story told of a tame
magpie, which was seen busily employed
in a garden gathering pebbles, and with
much solemnity and a studied air dropping
them in a hole about eighteen inches deep,
made to receive a post. After dropping
each stone, it cried currack ! triumphantly,
and set oil' for another. On examining
the spot, a poor toad was found in the
hole, which the magpie was stoning for
his amusement.— Jiuj/'oti's Xuturul //is.

Burning of the Steamer Amazon
DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE
One of the most thrilling calamities that
ever occurred on sea or land, took place
oil the coast of England on the 4th of
January, by the burning of the Steamer
Amazon, on her outward vovage to the
West Indies, when about sixty iniles
west of the island of Seilly. The par
ticulars of this sad casualty are briefly
these : _
i'he Amazon was a pioneer of a new
line ol steamers recently projected between
•Southampton and the Isthmus of Panama,
intended to convey the English mails from
port to port, and also to louch at the island
of St. Thomas on the trip both ways.
She was built in a most superb manner,
with capacious accommodations, and ma
chinery designed to enable her to make
the voyage in eighteen days, instead of
consuming twenty-five days, the ordinary
running time of the old English mail
steamers now on that line.
The Amazon was pronounced ready for
sea during the last month, and on the 2d
ol January, she cleared from Southampton
for her destination. She carried with her
50 passengers, £20,300 sterling in specie,
and 500 bottles of quicksilver, valued at
t15,1.>0. Resides other cargo she had in
her hoh! 1,133 tons of coal, which Itad
been put on hoard for the purpose of be
ing delivered for future use, at her
contemplated coaling stations. She was
commanded by (.'apt. Synionds ; and at
3 o clock on Friday. the day heretofore
named, site started on her unhappy voy
age, amid the cheers of assembled thous
ands, who had been attracted to the
wharves to witness her departure.
1 he entire number of persons entered
on the vessel's book was 101. Every
thing passed oil' pleasantly and without
accident, until about one o'clock the fol
lowing Sunday, when to the horror of those
on hoard, the steamer was found to be on
lire. Seilly was within 00 miles to the
west, but our accounts do not mention that
any attempts were made to reach the island.
Ihe Jury ot the element devoured
everything before it, and involved in the
common ruin the lives of 115, out of the
aggregate of 1(51 who composed her crew
and passenger list.—Those who escaped,
had iloated at the mercy of the waves, in
open boats, for twelve hours, exposed to
the inclemency of the season,and had well
nigh perished by a death hardly less hor
rible. 1 wenty-one were picked up !>\ an
iinglish vessel, and twenty-live reached
the coast of France.
IloKßllit.K MI'RDKR O;' A\ OI T!I. The
body of Jacob Lehimn, the lad who has
been missed since the Nth ol January, and
tor whose fate since that time the most in
tense anxiety has been experienced bv Itis
parents and the friends of the family, was
found yesterday aitcrnoon, horribly muti
lated, and sewed up in parts in three sacks
or bags, lying under the ice on the llats of
the Delaware river at Richmond, below the
Reading Railroad Company's wharves.
1 he discovery was made by some school
girls who were sliding on the ice. They
observed something sticking above the suf
fice oi the ice that appeared to them like
lite neck of a goose. The children called
the attention ot some hoys to it, and finally
one or two men had the curiosity to press
the examination so far as to make the at
tempt to remove it from its position. The
progress of the operations soon excited the
suspicion that a human body was enclosed
in a sack or bag, which was very soon af
terwards developed as a horrible reality.
The head, and the legs from tiie knees
down, were in one suck, the chest and
arms, with the upper part of the abdomen,
were in another, and the lower portions of
the body in the third sack. Several gash
es were found upon the breast, and also
two deep cuts and fractures of the scull,
just over and above the forehead. The
several portions of the body were enclosed
in parts of vf earing apparel lied with cords.
Although the body was so horribly mu
tilated and mangled, \el it was identified
by the lather, by certain unmistakable
marks, and parts of the clothing in which
it was wrapped.
The Coroner was .summoned immedi
ately and a jury of inquest raised, and an
investigation ot the tragical affair entered
upon. It will be remembered that young
Lehman was sent by his father, Aaron
Lehman, who resides in Seventh street,
below (Jirard Avenue, on Thursday, the
Hih inst., to peddle a quantity of jewelry.
It will also be recollected that on the l(Uh
instant a bloody tragedy was enacted in the
District of Richmond, in which Andrew
Mdiride killed iiis brother Arthur and
wounded Hugh Feel. Immediately after
that affair,"suspicions were excited against
the Mclirides that they had a guilty knowl
edge of the fate of the boy.
This suspicion was grounded upon the
statement of a journeyman la.lor, living in
the neighborhood of the Mclirides, that on
the afternoon of the Bth inst., he saw the
Mclirides and another man in an altercation
with the bov in the street, and that one of
them struck him, when he (the tailor) re
buked them for their conduct, and that the
parties then separated. The testimony of
the witnesses before the Coroner was main
ly in reference to the facts of the boy's
disappearance, and his liav ing been seen on
the day in question with the Mel}rides, in
the vicinity ol their residence. The in
vestigation was continued until after mid
night, hut nothing was elicited to fasten the
bloody tieed upon any one.— Public Ledg
er, January 31s/.
DEATH OF TWO ROBBERS. —On the night
ol the 1 /th ult., three ruffians entered the
House ol Mr. Abner Davis, of Worthington
township, Richland county, Ohio, and
demanded his money ; one o( the men at
the same time presenting a pistol at the
head ol Mr. Davis, and the others prepared
with bludgeons and knives, in case of re
sistance. Mr. D. finding resistance use
less, unlocked his chest, and gave them his
money, ($930,) after which they left, and
heing followed by Mr. Davis and others,
two of them were found frozen to death,
about a mile from where they committed
the robbery, and the other some distance
beyond, apparently returning to his lifeless
' ompanions, almost insensible—the night
being stormy and a good deal of snow
having fallen". Ilis name is William Mess
ner. He was immediately arrested. The
names of the others were Jones and Coop
er, the former an old offender, from New
\ ork, vv ith both ears cropped. All the
money was found on the person of Jones.
It ajtpears they were intoxicated, and sat
down on a log on the road, where they be
came insensible from cold, and finally froze
to death.
IIAIK ALA NEGRESS. — This is the name
lor the new style of dressing the hair, now
in vogue among the ladies of out fashiona
ble circles. 'J hev have got tired of look
ing like white people, anil are doing their
best to imitate the mulatto and quadroon
women that may be seen about the streets
any day, selling fruit and flowers. So far
the colored ladies are decidedly ahead of
their pale-faced imitators.— X. (). Pie.
A Ciianok. —How much we dreaded in
oip school boy days to be punished bv sit
ting between two girls. Ah ! the force of
education. In after years we learned to
submit to such things without shedding a
tear.
Men and women have become extinct—
they died about sixty years ago and left no
heirs. Ladies and gentlemen have usurped
their places.
