• Like,my fellow-mortalS,- I have found Time to
resemble both the Hare and the Tortoise, some
times as fleet as the quadruped, at others as slow
as the' reptile in his dice. , -Many bright and brief
days recur to my memor'y tv-Iten he flew past With
the speed of a Flying Childers ; many dark and
and long_ ones, when hia, stepped es heavily and
delderaiely as • the black horse before a hearse.
All his divers paces are familiar to me—he has
galloped, trotted, ambled,' walked With me, and on
one memorable occasion, , seemed almost to stand
stock-still. Never, eh, h aver can I forget the day-,
lOngLyeconds which intie• up those month like
minutes, which composed hat inttrminableHour—
the Longest in n.y whole life !
'And pray, sir, how and when was that V.
For the when, modem, to be particular, it was
frOm half-past nine to half:past ten

on the Ist of May, stew kilY le, Anno 1822;.
For the how, you shall hear. . I
At the dateAnit mentioned my residence was
in the‘,:idelphi, and having a strong partiality fo r '
The study of Natural .11isi.3ry from living speci i .
mons, it e.i..ed both my convenience and my taste
to drop in frequently at menagerie at.Eqeter
Change. _
' These visits were generally paid •at an early
hour; before town or codn try cousin s called to see
the lions, and indeed k frequently happened that
I found mYself quite alcine with the wild beasts.
An annual guinea- entiticid •me to go es often' as
agreeable, which happened so frequently, that the,
animals soon knew me: by sight, while with soma.
of them, for instance the elephant,* I.obtaincd
quite a friendly footing.' • ';Even Nero looked kind it
ly on me, and the rest ; of the creatures' did riot'
eye me with the glance's half shy and half savaged
which they threw at leis familiar visitere:
But there was one; notable • eiception. The
royal Bengal tiger could hot or would net recog
nise me, but persisted in growling at
.me as a
stranger, whinn of coulan belonged ttiiake in.
Nevertheless there Wad a fascination in his terri
ble beauty, and quite in his entriity, that Olen held
me in front of his cag^, , l enjoying the very him°.
tence:of his malice, rind recalling various tragical
tales of human victims'mangled or dervourcdhy
such striped monsters es the one before me and,
as, if the- cunning brubli Penetrated My •thoughts,
he would rehrarse as it were all the 'man-eating
ininceuvree of the species :'• now creeping steal
th'ily round his, den; as skulking through his
nutiVe jungles, then crouching for the fatal spring
and anon abounding rig + a the bars of his cage,
with a short, angry ros4 expressive of •the most
fiendish malignity. ,
There seemed to be dome antipathy between
. •
me and the tiger. - Ataey rate .he,took a peculiar
`pleasure in m)%presende in ostentatiously parading
his means of offence. Sometimes, stretching out
. -
one huge muscular
.lag between the bars, he un
sheathed, and exhibited hits tremendous claws, r'if.
ter which, with a devtlish ogre like grin, he dis
played his formidable, teeth, and then by-a ilelitie!r
ate yawn indulged ma With n look' into that
horrible red 011, down which h r e would fain ha l re
bolted me in gobbets.' The )awning jags were
invariably .closed with is ferociOus snap, and the
brutil performance was Wound tit with a howl so
unutterably hollow anti awful, so cannibalish,' th l at
even at hundredth repetition it still curdled my
very, blood, and thrilled II every nerve in my body.

walking about the room, convinced me that his
departure had left a void never properly to be filled
up. Another ioyal ' tiger, larger even, arid as
ferocious, might take his place—but it was Unlike-.
ly that the new tenant 'would, ever select me for
that marked and
,persanal animosity 'which had al
most led me allithes to believe that we inherited
some ancient fend from our respected progeniiors.
An enemy, as well as en old friend, though not

'What!--sorry for a nasty, vicious wild beast,

Exactly so, madam. The cause is (rem un-'
common. Nay, I once know a foreign-gentleman i
in a very similar predicament. From Ye German:
reading, helped by an appropriate atvle of feeding;
the atomich of his imagin l ation had become 6tY
stuffed and. "overloaded with Zamieja, Brocken
Witches, Hobgablihs: Voinciiers, Were Wolves,
Incubi and other devilries; that for ;years' he
never .passed a night without what we call bad
dreams. Well,. I had not seen him for some
months, when at last ho'Called uper: me, looking
so wobegonejand,out of spirits, as to make me in-
quire rather anxiously about his health. He shook
his heed dejectedly, sighed deeply; laid his hand
on his chest,es if about.to complain of it, a'n'd in a
broken English; ihformed me of his case. .

.Well, after that, sir, I can Swallow the tiger,
So pray go on.
After my fi rst • surprise was over,"my cur iosity
became excited, and begati to speeulate on the cau
ses of the creature's absence. Was he , l dead ?
Had he been destroyed for his frocity, or parted
with to make room for a milder speimen of the
species? Had he gone to perform in the legiti
mate drama—or taken French' leave? '1 was
looking routed for somebody to answer these que
ries, when all at once I tte.icried an object that made
me feel , liki a man suddenly blasted with is awn'
'der-bolt.
.Mercy • on us ! You don't mean to say that it
was the tiger I' ' .
I do. Huddled up in a dark corner of the
room, ;he bad been overlooked by me on' my en
trance, and, cunningly Suppressing his u4u'al a narl
of recognition, the trea l therous beast had proceeded
to intercept my retre t. At my fist glinpse of
him, he was skulking long, close "to the, wall, in
the direction all the oor. Had I possessed the
full power of, motion, he must have arrived there
first—but terror riyetted me to the spot. There I
stood, all my faculties frizen' up,:diuy i motionless
and dumb. Could I have cried out; my last breath
opife would certainly have escaped from me in one
long, shrill scream:- But it as pent up in my
bosom, where my heart. after one mighty bound
upwards, was fluttering likea scared bird. 1 titre
was a feeling of deadly choking at my throat, of
mortal sickness-at my stomach. IMy tongue in an
instant had become stiff and purched- , --my jaw
locked—my eyes Sze() In their sockets, and from
the rush of blood-seemed looking through:a mist,
whilst within my head a 7bizzing rioise,struckup
that rendered me utterly incapable of thought or
comprehension., ffuch, as far 'its I can recollect,
was my condition, and which, firm the symptoms,
I should say, woe very similarto a combined attack
of apoplexy and paralysis.
This state, however, did not last.' 'At first,
every limb and joint had suddenly stiffened, rigid
as cast. iron ; my very flesh, with the blood in its
veins, had congealed into marble : but after a few
seconds, the muscles as abruptiy 'relaxed , the joints
gave way, the blood thawed, and seemed escaping
from the vessels, the substance of my body seemed
losing its solidity, and with an inexpressible Sense
of its imbecility, I felt as if my whole frame would
fall in a, shapeless mass on the floor.

ilor, had crouched down—cat-like--his hick cure.

With his glaring eyeballs steadily fixed on mine,

the. siadderm+ of this unexpected manceuvre,
immediately rose" from his couchant position, and
after violently (lashing each flank - with his tail,
gave vent to his dissatisfaction in a prolonged. in
ward grumble, that sounded like distant thunder: -
Buthe did not long deliberate on hts course : to
my infinite horror, I saw him, approach the den,
where rearing l on his bind lege, in the altitude the'
heralds call rampant, be gave a tremendous roar,
which' made my blood curdle, and then resting his
fore-paws oia tile front of the cage, With his huge,
hideous face 'pressed sgailist the_ bare, he stared at,
me a long, stare, with two red fiery eyes, that al l

In the mean time the tiger kept his old position

get at me. Ho could hate no fear of my getting
out to eat him, and 'as to to's devouring rue, havi.

pleasure or displeasure. One or twice; indeid,
tried'to call out for help, hui the•sound died in my

set up such a' i roar at the same time, and this
did so,repeatedly, that convinced of the futility of
the experiment, I attandoned myself in silencete

Those who hive seen his Majesty, describe his
appearance as imposing in

six feet 'two inches in height, finely formed, with
great breadth of shoulder and chest, great length
and symmetry of limb, - with a large blue.piercing
eye, Grecian nose, and every part of fits frame le
in,-the tame colossal proportion. At the regal le.
Pee, he is distinguished among all the j'ettmled and
sabred princes, by his plain dress and command-;',
hag figure., and he towers among them i all'llike the
king - of Israel among* the shepherd

surrounded him. He is the gigantic head of the
most g,igantic.empire on earth.

Stretching 'around three quarters of theglobe, it
,already numbers 70,900,000 of inhabitants, and in
a century more, may number 100,000,000! It
embraces every variety of sad, product ) , arid occu

All this varied population arc divided into two
classes.
First comes the hereditary nobles huge sons
of Anak, purse proud, high-spirited, and for most
part ignorant, rolling in splendor and filth, cdver
ed with diamonds and Vermin—a set of princely
deaperadoes, ready at any time for al revel or a

riotous nabobs, two or three of whoni could buy

and its gloat diveesity of-rank, is controlled by a
