Upon the noble fofm, itt emblem of

His Mother whose tears had glistened. on his cheek,
When she had bade farewell ;—his kindred too,
Twin scions of the parent stem ; snd•those

She answered notwith comfort sweet! HOpe lingered

A Star of Bethlehem, to their watching souls—
A consolation 'mid their grief,—like Night's pate lamp,.
When through the misty. clouds; the quiet earth is
brightened—
And in the pauses of, the fierce pain, that
Swelled his tichitig brow, she whispered Peace, '
And spoke of joys to come ; told how Heaven,
With a pitying glow, had claimed the suff 'rer

. THE QUARREL.
.1 Sketch. from Real Life
• It was a very pleasant day. in spring, and
'Broadway presented a perfect tide.of human tie
ings. A crowd of carriages at. the door of, the
Astor House announced that an unusual influx of
.visitors, eyenlfor that collessal hotel, had arrived.
In fact the' Qr - eat Western was just in...
Suddenly one of the throng of passengers on
the side walk,itopped just; in front of a gentleunn•
who - was descending - from a chaise at the door of
the Astor. The eyes of the two persons met;
there ;„‘vrts a glance of mutual
_enquiry ; and then
each - rushed into the other's aims.
"Five years since yfm went abroad—what an
age said one".
"It seems a long time to yon—does it r said
the other,,With a faint smile. Ah! I wish it did
to me." ; • •
Charles 'Elwyn, the speaker, had gone abroad
in consequence of a disappointment in his affec
tions. He hal loved, and liSved truly, one who,
after giving him encouragement, laughed when he
came to declare his passion: Oh ! I never
thought of love,"1 said she. ..1-! ;marry ! Bless
me, I can't have - nay own way enough even now ;
what should I do if married . and a slave, as all
married women are 1" -
Light•hearted and gay, she little dreamed the
effect her words would have on'her ardent and
imaginative lover. Indeed, in her secret soul,
Mary Beavoir returned his affections; but, like
to many of her sex, she had been taught to believe
it'unmaidenly to allow a suiter to discover her
weakness until after he had', wooed long and been
often repulsed. We will not deny that She enjoy
ed a pleasure in the contemplation of what she
thoUght a little harmless coquetry toward her lov
er so, she not only rejected him in a tone tlf .
jest, but pretended to be interested in one of his
rivals.
Charles Elwyn could ill-brook this.- He loved
too sincerely , and was of a nature too earnest to
stand by and see another preferred to himself.—
He sailed for Europe in consequence, hoping by a
change of scene, to drive Mary from 'his mind.
But in this he was unsuccessfyl. Some -natures
can conquer an unfortunate attachment, his was
not such ; and at the end of fiie,years, he return.
ed to America, hopeless yet proud. Never would
_he, he vowed, suffer any one to suspect his weak
ness. He would meet Mary—she was•now mar
ried, he supposed—and coldly compliment her.
How had Mary received his departure? She
heard of his intention before he sailed, but at first
could nut believe it ; when, however; She became
convinced of the truth,'she bitterly repented her
contluct. She even thought of calling him back
to bar side. But her pride shrank from this. .
"No ! I cannot—l dare not," she ex( laimed.
Hn will turn from me. Oh! that I had never,
never acted so foolishly." •
He sailed for Europe, and she was laid- one
sick bed, from which she did not rise for months.
But misfortune proved beneficial to her in - one re
spect at least; it chastened mid eleiated her char.
serer: She was no longer the giddy, thoughtless
child ; bitt the matured and considerate woman.
The day of Charles Elwyn's return, his friend
dined with him in one of the private parlors of the
Astor House. They bad conversed some time,
when Mr. Sandford observed :
" By the bye, you must see Mary Beavoir soon.
She has grown very beautiful' ; ' And he paused. '
^'l have not heard .from thc'family 11:q years," '
said Elwyn at length, feeling that his companion
expected some reply.
"Then you know nothing of her I—push. us
some of the almonds—why, my dear fellow, she
is irresistible. But she ie different from what she
used to be; her beauty is softer, though not so
showy, and'whereas, she oboe would flirt a little—
Mind only. a Intle, for ell& is a great faVorite of
mine— ! she now goes by the name of the cold
beauty. A married min, like - Myself, can speak
thus warmly, you know, without having his heart
called in as the bribe of his heid. And do you
know that my wife sospec:s you of having work
ed the reformation I"—Etwyn started, and weal
almost thrown off his guard—" for it, began im
mediately after a long illness that happened a few
weeks after, von sailed."
Elwyn was completely bewildered. He had
now, for the first time, heard of Mary's sickness.
His eye wandered from'that of his companion, and
he felt his cheek flushing in despite of himself.—
He covered his embarrssement„bowever.by
His companion continued .
And now Elwyn, let us stroll down, Broad.
way, for, to tell;you the Will, f .promised my wife
to bring you home with me. Besides, Mary is
there, and I've no doubt,'' he continued, ocolarly,
you are dying to meet her:' . • -
• Elwyn - could not answer,: but be followed his
fiend into the street. conscious that Mary and he
must meet, and feeling that the sooner it watrover
the better. His companion, during their walk,
ran On in hle usual gay style, but Elwyn scarcely

was impossible, without exposing the long cher ;

sufficiently composed demeanor to greet him With.

and, then took a seat by Mrs. Sandford, who had

she wept bitter tears of-tinguish.
" And yet I cannot blame him:. "Oh, no!" she
exclaimed, "it is alit my own fault. He once
loved me, end- I heartlessly flung 'that affection
from me. which I would 'give worlds now to win.
But I must r dry these teari; I must not hetray my
self. We shall meet daily, for he cannot, help
coming here, and to shorten my vist would lead
to suspicions. I must, therefore, school myself to
disguise the secret of my heart."
And Elwyn did come daily, and although his
conversation was chiefly devoted to Mrs. Sandford,
'he neither seemed' to seek nor Co avoid Mary.—
Now and then he found himself in conversation
with her, and he thought,of old tiines. gut the
memory of their last interview came. across him
at such moments likes blight,
•• How wonderfully Elwyn has improved since
his travels," said Mrs: Sandford one mor n ing, us
she and Mary sat tete•a•tele, sewing ; and do

companion, that I think myself indebted to you

Mary felt the blood , mount-frig to her brow and
shrt stopped to pick up a stich. _

Mary's heart beat So fast she could scarcely an

cares nothing abdut me," and she felt how great
a relief would hase.been a flood of tears, Could
she havp:indulgeitin them.
Mrs. Sanford smiled archly, and said no more,
The afternoon came. The little company were,
assembled in the drawing room. Elwyn entered
just as the last momentlhad come, "rend when the
ladies were rising to go. Mary was almost hid
in one corner, so fearful was she of attracting the
raillery of Alma Sandford, by placing herself near
the entrance and in Elwyn's way. Her very sett
sitivenois produced toe effect she wished to avoid.
The gentlemau naturally .sought partners nearest
them, and for a moment she, was left alone. She
I thaught she would have fainted when she saw
Elwyn Cross the mint e-nd offer to be her escort.
They proceeded to the exhibition. 'For the
first time in'years, Elwyn's arm upheld that of
Mary's. At first both were embarrassed ; but
each made an effort, and they soon glided into
Conversation on indifferent subjecta: ' What a
a relief it was to Mary that night, to thin{t she
had been alone, as it were 'With Elwyn without
being treated with neglect.
From that 'day 'the visits of Elwyn to Mrs.
Sandford's increased, in frequency, yet there was
nothing marked in his attentions tp.Mary. In
deed he continued to converse chiefly with his
friend's wife, though he did not openly avoid her
guest. Mary grew more tremblingly alive to his
plesence, and at titres, she would detect his eye
bent on her, half sadlg. half abstractedly, her
heart would flutter wildly, and a delicious hope ,
would momentarily shout across her .mind 'but
soon to fade as quickly,
One morning Elwyn entered the drawing room,
and found her alone. Shewas - untanglieg a skein

Her fingers refused to perform their duty,.and her
skein of silk become more and more entangled. '

her. "My patience used Lobe a proverb withyou."
Mary could not trust hersellto answer, for her
fingers were actually trembling with agitation.—
She felt she could have sunk into the floor. "She
proffered the silk. without looking up. Elwyn
took hold of one end while she retained 'the
other. Neither spoke; but Mary's bosom heav

the skein, their, hands met. The touch thrilled
them like lightning. Elwyn almost unconscious

VAN AMBURG AND DRIES:6mm a.
;THE I,IOX ..T.I.IfERS.
1 •
The green lion tamers of modern times, are
both, I beliroie. living. Although they are the
only persons who have achieved emi nence in
their profeisitin—the mastery of I wild' beasts
—it is a singular coincidence in -their I history;
that they are both of butch origin: -one by de
scent, the other by birth —and that the State of
New York, the natal Place of ono, was 'also the
residence of the other, at the commencement Of
~his professional courses I.
Van Amtinrg was, born in 1812, at Tishkill.
New York State. thirty .miles front the city - of
that name. le descended, as may be inferred
from his name t from one of the ori.ltinal Dutch
settlers of the, State. At the age of 'fifteen,
with a fine constitution- and great good. temper,
he lift hi 4 nati6 home for New York, Where he
resided several years, as a clerk in the house tif'.4
relative. Van A rnburg was, however, riot calcu
lated for the drudgery of the blisineSs pursuits of
that .city, and found more congenial; employment,
after setting out on his rambles, a 'company
:which was engaged in taking a caravan! of wild
besets through ther - principel' cities ,f the United
States, He had now become twenty years of age,
with a fine figure, iron frame,- and herculean
s'rength, which admirably suited this development
of his peculiar faculties. .Ho is singularly made,
and one of the most athletic of his size in the
world. His bed) , is nearly round - , but greater in
thickness than 'in -breadth ; his bones large and
firmly set, and flesh almost muscle; Never
theless, for his singular conformation, he is re.
'markahle for the Ite,titness an ,
d grAce of his Move-
Ments.
His first intercom , - th lir t,----
intercourse with hone, was purely
accidental. At Jersey City, opposite New York,
a caravan of live. animals was exhibited.l The
lion was uncomonly• good temperedand as a part
of the exhibition, one of the keepers was in this
habit of entering -his cage. On one occasoi), this
individual was absent, the audience impatient, no
one to enter the. ergo, and a regular row in per
spective. In this extremity of distress, Vri!ri Am
burg had compasion, while he felt his I latrint en
ergies roused to action. " into thee 1g0 . ,"
said he to the manager, He took a cane, flit, red
the cage, walked up the tolion, talked tohou, and
in - a few seconds they became quite infinitely., —1
'"'ln' approaching wild lanimals," says Ora -
burg, " courage is every thing," '
This way but tl.e commencement of lits - cour;e l .'
The lion.died, and the company dispersed. He
joined' n cardv an called the.Zoologicct institute, it)
New York, which comprehended therarest speci
mens and fullest assortment of wild bearstslobtairt
able at that date. here he prosecuted his favor.
.its pursuit. atuiliml the temper and habit's of the
various animals, and proceeded in,their 'civiliza
tion, step by 'step, until they were all Perfectly
subjected to his orders , • \ I
He first asioeiated in One cage a lion and a tiger.
This presented remarkable scenes. I These two
animals would tight whole months, and sometimes
be would give over one of them fu r' , dead. _S On
such occasions, Van Arnburg, after they had 'ex
hausted each other, would enter the cage and he.-
gin . his course of discipline :.to control both:—
Gradually he added anneal animal, tili he i got
as many as ten animals in one. cagej, On, nlany
occasions, he ha; ! severe conflicts, with the tiger .
particularly, but nothing dangerous) When he
talks- of these animals, he is highly, interesting.—
The tiger, says Van Ainhurg, is like a :reckless,
good-for-nothing, drunken rascal, wh i p sptutls his
tirnecarelesily at taverns, and fights at a moment.
Tigers all have bad, spiteful tempers: The, lion
is not as rascible; he is . shivrer and• cooler, hat.
there are not the. genereue feelings about him
which he has been cracked up for. The leopards
are like cats—playful, Nit easily ' proVeked.*
There is nothing hardly more interestingthan to
hear this history of his intercourse with ( these an
imals from his-own lips.
- ,
Van Amburg has ortotrel and practical theory to
account. for .his power over theta, .Pro 'the fi rst
moment of his intercourse with them a talked
with them as he would to a human heing. .They
believe,' says he, 'that I have power to tear every
one of them to pieces, if they do not act' as I say.
I tell them so:ond have frequently eaforeed it with
a crowbar. The personal strength, the' peculiar '
cast of his eye, the' rapidity of his moveants, the
tone of his voice, all tend to present to tbese alai.

one of them has a. rerharkable cast, which rathl
er brightens the effect of his expressive 'face. On
one occasion, in New York, the tiger, became fe

loud menaces and strong gestieulatilm. After this
the tiger behaved ike a gentleman for a couple of '
month. ,_ : : 1 I I=
On visiting England, Van Amburg Villil separa. '
ted iron the animals for several Weeks.' They-ar.
rived in London, hi in Liverpool. As soon as he
rearhed_pontlon, .he went to see 'their). On his
appearance outside the cage, one of the strangest
.scenes was presented that was ever beheld: .The
lions. tigers, leopard:, all recognizedi im at once.
among Whe n he entered among the group, t ey crouch.;

In ancient and modern history, instances are
known of attempt.' made to tame Biagio ?animals ;
but till the present era there is no Such' Mighty ex

Amburg presents. Yet the feat of, (9lniliarity
