Soma, softy, April showers,
Fall around oar darling's head,
Whisper - of the fragrant flowers .
Spring will scatter o'er his bed.
AVltisper of the blue-bird's song,
Trilling sweetly bylaw spring,
In the orcharn; all daylong,
1 - lloney-bees upon the wing—
Coaxing out the apple-bloom
Filled with Choievl honey-dew ;
Bumming o'er the shaded - gloom
O( dried grusies., where the new,
Tender blades arc creeping up
To - the sunshine—from The gay
Dandelion'a golden'enp,
Steal her hoarded.wenith away.
Veil him of the rosy robes
Of the morning o gemmed pith dor,
When she scatters silrer globes
O'er his bed of pausien blue.
lbw the zephyrs miss the mass
Of his curly, untbrown hair,
KisSing his white brow; alas!
Datuit and shadows gather there.
Sad - andlone, his mother pale,
Gazing through the twilight bars
O'er the deep, celestial vale,
Fondly. watches all the stars.
, For her darlirig's pathway lies
Through their wildling silver light ;
• But God's angels, in the skies
Guide, with love, his steps aright.
BETTY BALLOU AND HEE " BIEBAG
ERIE."
Those who have taken the Trouble to look
over the advertising columns of the New York
Herald, have observed advertisements, un
der the head " Matrimonial," in which
persons of both sexes announce themselves
as .candidates, and invite correspondence with
this view. If we believe thise announce-
ments, the advertisers, almosewithout ekcep•
tion, are patterns of modesty, virtue, honor,
and intelligence; generall, too, of
,„.tefine
men-4 wealth, and high. social position
It is not very lon g since'an advertiseThent
informed the pahl!c . allit a young lads of good
education and accomplished manners, being
convinced that the formalities of society' are
mostly absurd, and, restrictive of free indi.
vidual development, would like to correspond
with a man of in - dependence and sense, with
a view to matrimony. She was twenty
years of age, moved in respeftablo sociely,
and believed she'could make a goods an hap
py.. • Any such person was invited to address
" Betty 13allou," at the Union Square Post
Office. •
A young man rnnyered this advertisement
under the signature of Julius B. Defoe, as
follows :
"Miss BETTY BALLOU : I have read your
advel tisement in this morning's Herald, and
have not the slightest hesitation in saying that
lam a man of sense. That lam a nuin of
independence, would clearly appear to yt - : , u if
we should be married, for I would nutrpr ni•
ise to pay any more attention to a wife -than
I chose; and if I wanted to go to the theatre
or opera with somebody, else, as I . probably
should, I should do, it in spite 61 her. In
-short, she could do is she pleAsed, if she chose
to; and if she didn't, I'd make •her ; and I
should do as I plea.sed,..whether she was
nr not. If that - is not independent
ernabgli - for you, I 'beg you not answer this
letter.
"That I am s ! ensitile, clearly appears from
my mode of life 7 In the first place, I have
spacious t apartrylents with a private family in
Fifth avnue, and manage my affairs in Wall
street—With about four •hours' labor per
diem—it such a manner that I have as much
money ifs rwant to 4oend or give away, go
where - 1 have a mind to, smoke in the parlor
when at !tome, and get drunk as , often as 1
am disßosed. -
"If this .suits . you; write and address me
at the Broadway Post Office. If it don't, do
what you like...
" I will say, however, that I should Ve hap
py to see you, and think you - will not find
me a savage. If you are disposed to gratify
me, state when and where we can have an
interview., Yours, respectfully. •
"JULIUS B. DEFOE."
Three days after depoSiting the, above let
ter in the Union Square Post Office, Mr.
Defoe called it the Broadway Post Office,
and fitund a reply awaiting him. It was
- writtep in a neat, plain hand, and the pur
port of it was, that Miss" Betty was curious
to see him, but was conscious of the =pro
priety of inviting a stranger to call upon her.
hotkever, he would be at Taylor's Saloon,
at twq o'clock on a certain day, he would
meet her there. " Go as far back as you_
can," said the letter," pn the left band side,
take a cewspaper in yolk,- hand and read, so
I may know-you. When I enter, I will rec.-
ogntse you with a nod ; then, please come
and sit. by me,,7,
A few minutes before the appointed time,
Mr. Defoe, having provided himself - with a
newspaper, .went to the place designated,
took a seat as' requested, and commenced
reading. He soon observed a young man
enter, walk near him, and look annoyed at
his presence. Finiy, however, the stran
ger sat down- imme diately in front of hini,
and with msnyJooks expressive of " What
business have you here ?" also took out a
paper and commenced reading:
, "Unfortunate," thought Mr. Def4e. "If
chi's fellow keeps on reading; she may mis
take him fur myselt. However, when she
sees he does not recognise her, she will try
me."
. While these thoughts were passing thro' 1
his mind, an elderly gentlemen-with a very
red nose, also came up, and politely request
ed Mr. Deft 4 to go forward -and give hint
the, seatlie oecepied. would not ask it,
sir," he added, "hail I not particular reasons,
winch need not explain, (or doing so."
"And re - joined. Defoe, " *wild not de.
by so reasonable a sequestiliad I not partic
ular reasons, which I need not explain, for
doing so:" . •
. Th e elderly gentleman-seemed a good deal
disspOinted, but4aking the last unoccupied
seta flack-, also took out s . piper' and com
menced reading. ' • -. .
• "Nothing renarkable," soliloquised
Defoe, " in three then seeding papers at the,
sanietime s - ip a row;
yet, tinder the cirpoin
stances, it . is,a singular ctincideace." - And
'this. suggestion . .derived additional" Weight
from the fact thaffew other person!. in . the
saloon were at that-time reading.
Hut Mr. Pekes istonishinent,wasi coosid
eraW a increased when s third, 1- .6aiirth, a
fifth, s fix*, 4141 finally, sv Nefeptk sot red;
and each, in his turn, seemed anxious to get
a rear sesti but failing in this, took the laSt
one unoccupied, each at the same time com-
mencing immediately to read.
Mr. Defoe thought there was something
strange in this, and, as mystery -always
pleased him,.could.not Suppress a .smile' at
the anxiety and distress of the litera'ry stran
gers, who, while they held papers hi their
hands, looked around the saloon. . •
"I think the girl. has sold me," he said to
himself, and good-naturedly dropping the pa
per from his hand, was about to order a
beef-sneak, when he saw a young lady enter,
the right•door.. She was 41, graceful in her
movements, had keen black eyes, and was
richly, though not gaudily, dressed. She
passed down the , opposite aisle with a man
ner somewhat haughty, cast a furithe glance
along the line of gentlemen who held papers
in their Inindi, and finally gave Mr. Defoe an
unit - list:A[o,le nod of recognition.
Ile retprned the salutation as if ho had
met an ol f l friend, and immediately joined
her. ,•
"Mr. Defoe, I presume," said the pretty
lady.
`The same, and happy to meet you, Miss
Balton," ho replied.
" Te.l/ me, Mr. Dcfbe, what you.thought of
my advertisement."
"I thought it very sing ular that a female
should want a man or e 'sense and indepen
dence'f;,r• a husband—so I answered it.—
What did you think of my reply?''
" thought much, In the-first place, thet
yottwere not handsome, andl am !Lot disap
pointed. • Also, that you were riot dressed
like a dandy, which is also true. - Also, that
you did not mean what you said, which of
course is true."
"Then why did you answer me ?"
" Because I thought so. You do not sup.

that no honest mart could write such a leper
as you did: I did not come to compliment
you,as you find:"
" 1 will not complain that you flatter me."
Refreshments were serve] up,
,and the
conversation, though necessarily carried on
a low tone, became animated.
" Pray tell me," said Mr. Defoe, " the
precise motive you bad id publishing such en
advertisement and in meeting me here?"
"I did it for fun. It was always my dis.
position: D.) you see tlutfrow of men over
near where you were sitting, each with
a newspaper?"
"yes"
Well, those deluded gentlemen all came
here at my Solicitation. The,' all' answered
my advertisement; I wrote to{ them precise.
ly as I did to you. F wrote the letter you
received, and my sister made...twelve 'copies
of it, which were dispatchedio as many gen
tlemen. Seven of them, it seem+, have ac•
cepted the invitation, and are waiting for me."
" And what will you do ?"
" Nothing. I did not expect to recognise
them. I eadte to enjoy the sport of seeing
them who expected ao fool me, fooled in
stead ; to watch the ludicrous expressions of
anxiety and disappointment. They are
ilis
honest, selfish, ignorant men, I am sure: - or
they woold not have written as they did. In
fact, 1 am care that an honest man would not
have written at all. Now, see them l They
look over the top of their papers as if a
sheriff was after them."
" And you came here to laugh at them r I
" Certainly. T4is is fay menagerie of
tamed animals. I took them wild ;• but I
fancy this discipline-will domesticate them."
• " Why is it that you have honored me
above all the rest, and do not laugh at my
calamity in common with theirs ?"
" Because , you wrote an absurd letter. I
saw nt,once you did not intend to have me
believe you. But those =foals supposed I
Was foolish enough to think they meant what
they said. • 1 would not trust a soul of them
with my dinner. They thought to deceive
me, perhaps get some of niy property, and,
at any rate, to get into the society I move in."
" And how did you know 1 was the person
who wrote over the name of Defoe?"
"The simplest thing in the world. You
sat there with a - -broad grin on sour face,
with a look of perfect indifference. The pa
per lay beside you on the table, as I knew it
would, if 'I was five minutes behind time—
You were thinking you had been sold,' and
that Betty Ballou had played .you a good
trick. The others were anxious and uneasy.
,They were. meditating the schemes which
i brought them here."
"Your name, of course, is not Ballou ?"
suggested Defoe.
"No more than yours is Defoe," replied
she.
The " rrienag,erie" was by this 'time •in a
state of disorder. The "animals"_ uneasy
at the delay of the expected, celled for dif.
ferent articles of diet and drink. and one *by
one withdrew. Mr. Defoe also expressed
regrets at parting, but said he must go.
• "Must oar acquaintance 'end here ?" he
asked.
" Yes, unless you should chance to get ac

Mr. Defoe pledged his honor not to reveal

up am. Sciiit his rifle, he
dropped the neare4 savage from his ,horse,
and then jumped into the cave, just in time
to avoid a shower of arrows sent flying after
him. The cave was large and the opening
small. The Indians made ircbarge into the
cave, but two shots from his revolver sent a
pair of them howling back, end the idea of
carrying the place-by storm was abandoned.
Su dark was it within that the Imola could
not,be seen from without, and every attempt
to dislodge hint by dispatching arrows thro'
thu (poling proyed'unavailing.
At length the red devils. built a large fire
around the mouth of lie eave,.with the view
of, burning or smoking him out. This, also,
was a failure, from the fact that Zeke discoir
ured a small opening near theloack part of
the cache, thl-ough which he was enabled to
obtain fresh air. After keeping the fire up
an hour or two, the Indians, presuming the
trapper had been sulTucated, hauled the [du

the mouth of the cave, and the-mountaineer
mastee of the field.
Finding that ho could be neither smoked
nor driven front his Itiding.place, the savages
determined.to starve'him out, and for six
weeks they kept continual guard . upon the
citadel. Zeke found the provisions in good
order, and boring a hole through the head of
the keg with his bowie-knife, subsisted very
comfortably during that time on raw' beaus,
'Jerked venison-, whiskey, and a little water
standing in a pool at the bottom of the cave:
Once or twice the Indians attempted to sur
prise him at night, but be was too wide
awake. During the last week of his impris
onment, Zeke remained
.perfectly quiet.—
Again believing him dead, the enemy pre
pared to enter the cave. Somewhat despe
rate, the hunter determined to lay law' anti
give them a wafni reception. Accustomed
to'the darkness, he waited until three of
them had fairly entered, when he killed two
of them on the spot, and wounded the third.
Disheartened, the savages now yielded the
contest and withdrew, and two days after,
' Zeke cautiously left the cache, and in a week
found his way into camp, on !cot: •
He informed his companions that he-had
been a prisoner of the .Poneas, and with dif
ficulty escaped, but avoided mentioning the
place of his incarceration ; and some raonths
after, when the trappers visited the cache,
and found flour and beans there, but no
whiskey, Zeke seemed to be the most aston

An Amiable Amusement of the Lion.
Amos° the numerous fearful stories with
which Gerard, the French Aotutarner, regales
his readers, we find the follo_wiag description
of a trait in the character of the king . of
beasts.
The lion treats a man very differently frOtrt
any animal that he is accustomed to kill for
food. if ho kills a person who has fired at
him, he n ever eats the body. Übe meets in
his nightly promenade a man well clothed in
burnos, his experience shows him that he is
no marauder, amid that he may kill him for
food, or, if the fancy happens to take him, he
will kill hint.-by fear * , little by little, just as
pastime„
In the first case,, be will . give"him barely
time enough to say his prayers, and then
bOunditut on-him, will Crush his head in a
single bite, instead of strangling him, as he
is accustomed to do with other animals.
in the second case, he sometimes Will bar
the passage of the unfortunate fellow by ly
sing down before him, and then he will walk
along by his-side, purring and showing his
teeth like a tiger, SOmetimes be makes be
lieve to go away and lease him alone, and,
then snaking a long detour, hir will' conceal
himself along the path; and, charge at him
with a roar. Sometimes he crouches down
likea cat, and" bounds on his victim, who
gives himself up for lost, but the tantalizer
ooly,knocks him over with his" , paw,' or,
"walking around bin' strikes him in the a
blow like a flail withhis.muacular, tail. 'At,

gmster than a thousand deaths, and. dies of

BON•MOTS OF TALIICRAICD.--Never was a
Wind-bag so handsomely punctured as, when
he took the "sublime" out of an ego
tistical 'and-vainglorious speech of Mirabeau.
At some important political crisis the great
'Orator was Oescanting in• the society on the
qualities which a minister requirest--sessattri.
este the nation from its 'diffculties.• namely,
great knowledge, genius, familiarity with the
upper classes, popularity with the lower
Glasses, the of writing and speaking elo
quently, all of which qualities it was obvious
enough he reckoned as his own. Everybody
Stared with admiration but Talleyrand, who
simply listened attentively to the end, and
then observed : "it seems to me you have
omitted one of the qualities of this ex
cellent man ; should he not be very much
pitted with the small pox ?" This could be
no other than Mirabeau; and the effectupon
the auditors can only be imagined.
One of Talleyrand's finest witticisms is
told in Lord Brougham's Times of George
111. Not long after his breach of friendship
with Mme. De Steel, that very intellectual
and very masculine woman wrote her novel
of Delphine, in which she satirized her form
er friend in the character of an old woman,
whilst she intended all the delicate charms of
the heroineto be taken as her. own. Chanc
ing tameet Madame De Steel soon after the
publication of the book, in a fashionable as
sembly, he said to her, boiring politely, "I
understand' madam, that in your last novel
you and I figure disguised as females." •
EXHAUSTION OF TsLa.--llow long the
lamp of conversation holds out to• burn, be
tween two persons only, is curiously -- set
down in the following inissao from' Count.
Gonfallionier's account of his imprisonment
" Fifteen years I eiisted in a dungeon ten
feet square ! During six,years I had a cont.
panion ; during nine I was alone! I never
could rightly distinguish the face of him who
shared my captivity in, the eternal twilight of
our. cell. The.first year we talked incessant
ly together; we related our past livea; our
joys - forever gone, over and over again. The
next year ..we communicated to. each ; other,
our.thoughts and ideas on all subjects:" The
third year we had no ideas to communicate;
we were beginning to lose the power of re.
Election. The fourth, at the interval of a
month or so, we, would open our lips to,tisit
each other if it were possible that the world .
went on as gay and -bUstling . as, when we.
formed a portion of mankind.. - The fifth we
were silent. The sixth, he was taken away—
, I never knew where, to eiiectition.or liberty.•
But I was glad when beivas gone;, even soh,
• itude was better than the pae, vacant race.
Oae day, (it most have been a year or two
atter my companion left me,) the, dungeon
door was opeaed, whence proceeding IringicE .
