I've. wandered far from thee mother,
Far from our happy home;
I've left the land that gave me birth,
In:ntitet alines to roans;
And. time, since then, has rolicd his years,
And marked them on my brow—
Vet I've oftep thought of thee
-1 !to thinking of thee now.
I 'm thinking of those days, mother,
When, with sin h earnest pride,
Ton watched the daignirts of my youth,'C'
And pressed me to your"side ;:-
Thdo love had :Med toy tinsting-Meart
With hopes of future jot,
And thy bright fancy honors wove '
TO deck thy "darling boy."
I 'ln thinking on thq day mother;
I left thy w,atchitil eare, -
When thy finid heart was lifted
To Heaven—thy trust was there
And ineniory firines thy parting Words.,)
When ward fell o'er thy cheek ; e
But thy last loving, anxious look,
Told more than words could speak.
I'm far away from thee, mother,
No friend is near toe 110 W,
Toinothe me with a tender word,
Nor cool my burning brow; •
The dearest ties affection wove
Are all now torn front me ;
They left me when the trouble earne—
r They did not love like thee.
I would not have thee know, mother, •
How to ightest hopes decay—
The tempter, with his LatiefulenP,

And shame has left its vennined sting,
To rack with anguish wild,!

Yet still, I would not have thee knoW •

Bar cheer me with thy softest words,
[And bid me hope again.
I know thylender heart, mother,

A Hair-brendth Adventure.
The notion - of “Ttix tosr,",One of the
most entertaining works of the kind With which
we are acquainted; tells a thrilling anecdote Of an
AmeriCan gentleman in Demerara, who Went out
one morping on a shuotingexcursion in-that coon- .
try. Not expecting danger, he took . with him as
companions two powerful tiget.houndsonly,—his
favorite blood-hound, 'on whose fidelity, he ,could
most confidently rely in the hour of periLand who
howled long and 'plaintively fur permission iojoin
the party, having been tied up and left behind:
The day passed off without any very stirring inci
dents, and Mr. A. was slowly wendi n g his way
home, his game-hag stuffed with feathered'spoil,
and having left a fine buck suspended from la pro-.
jetting brunch of a marked tree, awaiting the
morning's sun till slave should be Sent for it.—
He had nearly readied the outskirts of thelwood,
when—in the words of the tvriter—
;He suddenly perceived in the thicket, rth one
side of the path through which he must pails, two
small, faint, and twinkling lights, like that of a
pair of 'glow-worms; hie practised' eve instantly
informed him that this appearance Proceeded from
nothing hut the malevolent eyes of a wild beast--
whether Cougar, Puma, or Jaguar, he hesitated
not to determine ; 'one thing was certain, Iretreat
was fatal,-and to advaece was apparently equally
PO. •Now for a bold 'shot,' a steady hand and a
cool sight. and, you. may yet be saved ! I Tilke
care, sir: take care! The sportsman's firs4action
is to throw the barrel of his piece, unfoitonately
only a smooth bore, across his left arm; theithumb
of the right h - and cautiously cocks: the gun, and
the fourth finger of the same h'and fifelathe trigger.
Mr. A. steadily advanced; he was not fluttered
to remain long' in suspense ; he had proceeded
but three paces, when with a - terrific ory, th'e
Cougar (for such it was) sprUng from its lair, and
dashed upon' him; he fried, but apparently -with
out effect; where were now his hounds,ll They
had fled at thefirst glimpse of the furious beast,
'and rent the woods wttl - their cowardly whitings!
He struck indeed, a fetd blows with the butt end
of his piece. but the rohber of the forest was too
nimble for him; rt r itiotneinary struggle and
he
was ithon his back. The ferocithis Conga?t was
standing, or rather crouching over him; hne paw
.was upon his broad chest, and each protruded
talon, penetrating his :clothes and flesh, caused a
stream of, blood to trickle down his side; the other
paw graSped his skull.thld he felt as if each claw;
penetrated his brain; his 'senses reeled, I and his
blood suffused his eyerr.l and nearly blinded him ;
still, however, this heroic American fainted not,
nor ceased struggling manfully for the victory.—
his vigorous-araw were:extended, and his hands
grasped the monster's throat, thus keeping him
fora, time from bringing into play those rapacious
jaws, which as the hunter's strength (declined,
were gradually advancing into a closer proximity
with his face. Such it fearful struggle , thould not
be of long continuance. The burning eye-balls
of the Cougar glared nearer and more pear still ;
as they looked :into the blocal.hhot orbits of the
prostrate but fearless victim, theirowner was forced
to. turn them aside froth the encountef,.as if con
scious of the dastardly nature of his attack, and
the superior bravery; though inferior strength, of
the man upon -whom 'he crouched. The poWers
of the man related ; nature had done -her utmost
—she was at length eihausted. The drultness of
despair was on the point of plunging . his senses in
unconsciothesa, and death was about to seize upon
:his victim, when the b'rushwoorl behind him
crashed, and yielded before a heavy w eight; the
hay of the bloodhound awoke him to conscious
ness and hope ; a laige animal bounded upon the
merciless foe; the shock hurled the animal from
its prey, awl, the hrhve hunter felt that he was
saved. Need I explain the occasion of this truly
providential and almtist miraculous rescue? Tho
favorite bloodhound, which, on quitting home, he
had left behind him, l had continued howling all
day, as if possessing a soft of prophetic 'prescience
of the accident by which his owner's life would
be placed in Such extreme danger, and having at
length broken loose, had
t gone forth in quest of
his, missing master, and found him in time, but
only just . in time,- to save him frOM one of the
most horrible of deaths." ,

Boston Advertiser says, in reference to the grand
ball recently given by Louis Phillippe :—.4The

HOMAOR TO ReVELATION.—The Bible is a•
hook of facts at least as well authenticated as any
history—a book of miracles incontestably avouch
ched—a book of poetry, pure, natural, and elevi
tea—a book of morals, such as human Wisdom
riever framed for the peiftction of human happi•
ness. I wilrabide by the precepts, admire the
beauty, revere the mysteries. add. as far as in me
lies, practise theimandrnates of this sacred volume;
.and should the I . itliculeet earth and the hhis,phe.
my of hell assail me, I shall console myself by the
contemplation of those blessed,spirits, who in the
same holy cause have toiled and suffered. In the
'goodly' fellowship of the saints,' in the 'noble army
of-the martyrs,' in the society of the great, and
good, and wise of every nation—if my sinfulness
be not cleansed, and my darkness illumined, at
least.My pretensionitss admission may, heexcused.
If I err - with the luminaries I base chosen for my
guides. I confess myself captivated by the loveli
ness of their observations.. If they err, it is in a
heavenly region; if they wander, it is fields of
light, if they aspire, it is.at all events a glorious
daring;, and rather than sink with infidelity .into
the dug', I arricontent to cheat myself with their
visions of eternity. If I err, I err with the . deci.'
. pies of philosophy and virtue—with="nten who
have drank deep at the fountain of humai, know
ledge, but who dissolved not the pearl of their
salvation in the draught. I err with Bacon, the
great confidant of nature, fraught with all the
-learning of the past, and almost prescient of the
future, yet MO wise not to know his weakness,
and too philosophie not to feel'his ignorance. I
err with Milton, rising on an angel's wing to
heaven, the music of his grateful piety. I err.
'with Locke whose 'pure 'philosophy only taught
him to adore its Source, whose warm love of gen•
uine liberty was never chilled into rebellion:- with
its author. err with Newton, whose star like
spirit shot a thwhrt the darkness of the sphere,
too soon to reascend to The home of its nativity.
With men like these I shall remain in error.—
Nor shall I desert those errors even for the drunk
en death bed Of a Paine, or thedelirious warwhoop
of those men 'who would erect their al ar on the
ruins of society.— Charles Phillips:
'I AM 01.. AD TO sea Io u ..—There are more lies

Take an instance. Madam has pickles or sausa

and see me,' it sounds so much like, 'John show
the gentleman the way out.' There is no Such

Adams that he had been pleased in witnessing ihe.
meeting between Pilate and Herod ! Mr. Adams
thanked the gentleman for .the remark, and then
observed that, just before the down fall of Mark
Anthony, .Cicera made friends with"several of the
Roroari . -Trihunes with .whom he had been on

just been committed in .our town. A yriiing man
named John George, of respectable connections,
attempted to seduce a Miss , Jackson, of this town;
failing in his attempts to seduce her, and.fearing
that it would be made public 4 he stole by the win

her, after waking her and making himself knhwn:
He lied. The report alarmed the family, who ran
,to her room and found'her dying. She livid only

Mother!' bolted up Diamond alley as if theft:tida
-1 man with the ',.10%en foot, was after her, never.
stopping to look behind Until she was fairly in
Wood street.
The Fakir walked on, and stopped to make.
room for a•cOuntry man who was in the-act of cut
ting off a call's head. 4 ,13 -a-a,' went the head.
'Oh,' says the countryman; lookingover his shout
der, thinking that some one had been tricking
him. He was,evidently surprised: At this n u
merit the Fakir addressed. him with; .what will yeti
take for that veal's head!' The countryman ap
plied ; the knife. 'l3-a-a B-a-a! Help! help!
cried the head. A hog's carcass hanging close by
gave one of those alio grunts, accompanied by a
sequel on G aharp,,so loud, so long, so piercing,
that we can only compare, it to the steam whistle
of a locomotive. The countryman dropped his
knife, and with 'Lord Weis us!' turned uround end
made tracks'as fast as his ,legs could carry. him.—
In
his course lie u p set a Woman with a basket full
of Golden pippins{ which, by-the-by-were soon
hidden in the pockets of some dozen urchins, who
were etanding about in eager wailing.: To make
amends to the poor woman fur thia accident, the
Fakir purchased a quarter's worth of iheitpples,
and on opening the first'olie w.th his knife, out
dropped a gold piece. A second apple produced
an o ther gold piecea tiird the same: 'These are
real golden pippins. 'ol 11 lady,' said the Fakir;
'how much for the lot!' eon's nu more; replied
she of the pippins, at the same time - strati:bine up
the basket and making off in the ivako of him
the calf's head. Shortly after, the pippin lady
t. r iap,obaerved busily engaged, in cultitig up the
remainder of her stock. I Things by this time had
got a little quiet. In about
with
minutes we
observed the Fakir talking with one of our efficient'
public officers;-Mr.- Tuiner;" mid expecting some
more sport, we drew nem. In this we were dis
appointed; but. as Mr.lTurner left. him, we oh'
Lserved the Fakir's eye n'ttentively fixed on a - large
cabbage. Ho walk. d tip .0 the Dutctrinan who
was attending the basket, and addressing him with,
'how do virffsell cabbage by the dozen. my friend!'
'That sire fifty resits, ; cause got haul heart—
that size thirty-emus 'CAbi got soft heart.'
'Why do you makedlie ilifferenaer - .
'That's gpot for croud and got hard heart.
Let '
me see,' says the "Fakir, taking-up the larger
cabbage. After examining very atteetively said,
you allow your:chickens to••un about you! cabbage!'
'No,' said the Dutchman. .,
'I CA,' said the Peli!tr and I can prove it. I
hear a' nest of chickens tnthe - cabbage stow,' an d
an audible chirping was`essily distinguished.
'Give me your knife,, says the Fakir; and, on
opening the cabbage, out hopped a hen and sev
eral cluckens.apparentlyle week old.
We can easily account for the imitations of the
soundaprodu.:ed by the I calr's head, the eggs and
tire turkey: The.gold pieces in tha apples were
of course placed there by jun ingenious sleight of
hand, : The Fakir perfor fled similar experiments
during his public lectured. But how the hen and.
chickens got into the cabbage is a conundrum do
tie. We are rathen:of opinion that our eyes
must have deceived us,;' and • that they were not
theie at all, bur most ha've been stored away some
where in the fold of the. Fakir's ample cloak, un
til he saw fit to release them, iwareally, from the
Dutchmen's eabbego.' 7 4 - 'itt , the r'rr Cirronick;
