"Not one of whom has got a wife To bother him with trunks And band-boxes a load too great For man or horse to bear, Which railways charge for over weight And cabs ask double fure. Fell care, as when your bride you post, Distracts your anxious mind, Lest this portmanteau should be lost, Or that be left behind ; Her baggage as you travel down Life's hill, weighs more and more, And still, as balder grows your crown, Becomes a greater bore. Outstretched by fashion vile and vain, Hoops, petticoat and vest?, Now Yankee females to contain Require no end of chests; To which bags, baskets, bundle?, add, Too numerous to name, Enough to drive a poor man mad ; A Job with rage inflame. The cab keeps swaying o'er your head, With baggage piled above, Of overturn you ride in dread, With her whom j'ou should lovo ; Then you the station when you gain, Must see the lumber stowed, And fears about it in the train Your heart and soul corrode. Thus does your wife each journey spoil Of your3 that she partakes; Thus keep your on the fret and broil, Your peace and comfort breaks, With all these boxes all her things (How many !) to inclose, The fair incumbrance on you brings A wagon load of woes. Desperate Conflict "With a Large Dog. Mr. Patrick Flinn, butcher, of Wilm ington, Del., says the Republican, had a desperate conflict with a savage dog. in which he came near losing his life. The circumstances were as follows : A bull terrier, weighing about one hun dred and sixty pounds, had been kept to guard the slaughter house. It was kuown that he was savage, and therefore he was usually kept chained and muzzled. At this time, however, the dog was free, hav ing neither chain nor muzzle on him. Mr. Flinn was in his stocking feet, just preparing to kill, when he observed the dog come sncakingly towards him. Not thinking anything of it, however, he al lowed the dog to approach him, when the brute suddenly seized him by the thigh. Mr. Flinn endeavored to pat him and coax him, bnt the animal nicant mischief. Coaxing did no good, and he atoncccom mecccd a tcrible attack on Mr. Flinn; and releasing his bite on Lis thigh, endevored to seize him by the throat. Mr. Flinn, however, prevented the dog from doing this, and a terrible conflict commenced be tween them. Mr. Flinn fighting for his life, and the dog to tear him to pieces. They were fastened in a small slaughter house, so that Mr. Flinn had no chance of escape. There wa3 another man in the slaughter house, but he took a panic, and ran up a ladder into a loft. Mr. Flinn finally succeeding in getting his hand down the dog's throat, and seized him by the tounguc, which he endeavored to tear out. Sometimes the dog, whose weight was equal to Mr. Flinn, would almost overcome him, when he would a gain succeed in getting him upon his back. Doth became nearly exhausted. lie called in vain for the craven up the ladder to come to his assistanse ; to hand him a knife, or anything to dispatch the brute but every time he come down a few steps, the dog who apparently under stood all, would become more enraged, aud his panic would again seize him, and he would run up the ladder. A crowd of women and children had got around the door, all of whom heard the fight and cries, and not one of them thought of running to the moracco factory which was a short distance off, and where sever al men were at work, for assistance, but stood there horror eticken. Finally when M. Flinn was nearly exhausted, he man aged to break away from the dog, and by some means to get up in a window, where the savage brute was too much exhausted to follow him. Assistance finally arrived; Mr. riino was rescued, but the animal appeared to know he bad done wrang, at ones made his escape. lie was followed by a crowd, who shot him. Mr. Flinn, when liberated, had his clothes torn off him, and he was coverd with blood, being bit all over by the animal. It was a nar row escape from a dreadful death. . To Remove "Proud Flesh."

Stratagem. It is said that one time when Lorenzo Dow preached under a large spruce-pine in South Carolina, he announced another appointment for preaching in the same place on that day twelve months.

Dow stood and watched the driving storm till the fright abated and some one discovered the colored anjrel who had caused the alarm quietly perched on a limb of the old spruce, and wanted to get him down to whip him, and then resumed his theme, saying, "I forbid all persons from touching that boy up there. If a colored boy with a tin horn can frightecn you almost out of your wits, what will ye do when you shall hear the trumpet ot the archangel ? How will ye be able to stand in the great day of the wrath of God ?" Death Warrents. The Governor has signed the death warrants for the execution of George S. Twithchell for the murder of Mrs. Mary E. Hill, and Gerald Eaton for the murder ! j for of Timothy Ilecnau. The time fixed for carrying out the death sentence is the cth ' of April. Some few weeks since, Ihe celebrated pugilist, John C. Ilecnan the "Denicia Boy," one of the numerous hus bands of the late Adah Isaacs Menken, was at Ilarrisburg, to intercede with Governor Geary, and endeaver to get a commutation of the death sentence to imprisonment for life in the case of Eaton. He was, however, unsuccessful, in his ef forts to procure a modification of this man proved guilty of the murder of Ileenan's brother. Soon after Eaton's counsel ob tained an interview with Governor Geary, and got a respite of the sentence upon the representation that he was now able to prove that Eaton did not fire the fatal shot. There, however, seemed to be no reason for a longer delay, and the Gover nor, therefore, signed the death warrant on Monday. The execution to take place iu the yard of the Moyamensing Prison of Philadelphia, at the time indicated. ,e, Saturday Night Somebody gets ofl the following beauti ful paragraph on the closing night of the week.

Old-Time Reception of the Presidential Message. The manners of Congress have altered since the days of Washington. Then the Presidential Message was received with dignified courtesy, and a committee ap pointed to wait on the President with the reply. At the time appointed, the Sena tors went in procession to the President's room, and were received with that serious and stately courtesy which was then in vogue among persons high in office. Fan cy a long dining-room with the tables and chairs removed. Before the fire place stands a tall and superb figure clad in a suit of black velvet, with black silk stockings and silver buckles. His hair, white with powder, is gathered behind in a silk bag. He wears yellow gloves, and holds a cocked hat adorned with cockade and plume. A sword, with hilt of polish ed steel and sheath of white leather, far ther relieves the sombre magnificence of the President's form. The Senators en ter, with the Vice President at their head, and read the address, to which the Presi dent makes a brief and courteous reply, anit and, at its conclusion, the Senate mmln n fnrmal .ind ceremonious exit, and 'then returned to their chamber.

Calico balls are fashionable, but the manner of making up the dresses renders them (the dresses) worthless as gilts to the poor after the ball.

The following accounts of an encounter between an elephant and railway train ia India, is taken from the Bcnegalee cf January 2d, an intelligent native news paper published at Calcutta in English : A correspondent writing to the Indo European Correspondence from Mcughyr states that a veryseriousaccident, brought about in a manner unknown, and per haps unheard of since the establishment of railways, not only in India, but through out the world, happened to a train on the 20th of December, at half past eight o' clock, between Sahcbgunge and Mizapore, about two miles iVcm the latter station. At the time No. 5 down eroods train was approaching a mangcE tope in which sen cnty elephants were stationed-. The red lights glaring in the distance, and the noise and smoke of the engine, woald have caused an awful consternation among the poor brutes, all of whom, more or less, tried to break away from their fas tenings. One large male, however, the strongest and most courageous of the lot, became so infuriated that he broke his chain and rushed forward to intercept and encounter the supposed enemy. lie had scarcely placed himself on the line when the traia was down upon him. lie encountered it with head and tusks; but animal strength proved no match for steam and machinery the poor brute w3 knocked down and killed on the spot, and the engine, rebounding, ran off the line, and it and eleven carriages were capsized into a ditch. The fireman luck ily managed to jump ou in time, aud the guard did the same, but the poor driver, named Smith, remained in his place, and received injuries from which it is not ex pected he will recover. Anecdote of two Dogs. A gentleman had two dogs of the ter rier breed the one rough coated, and of rather large size, of great intelligence and great attachment, named Pinchcr ; the other was a very smooth coated snarling little animal, but an excellent house, guard named Jacko. These animals lived to gether on very friendly terms, domiciled generally in the house keeper's room where they were great favorites. One Sunday evening the servants were sum moned to prayers, leaving the room with their supper on the table, the cook only remaining in the kitchen adjoining this supper-room. In a short time Pincher went into the kitchen and pulled the cook's gown who, supposing he was beg ing for food chid the animal and drove him away. In few minutes he returned, and again pulled at the cook's garments when he was again reproved. A third time he carac, and pulled at her gown with more vehemence ; when, wondering at the cuase, she followed him to the supper-room, where the first thing she saw wa3 little Jacko helping himself to tho supper. In this instance it is impossible not to suppose that Piucher knew right from wrong, and that he thought it his duty to report the wrong done, although by his playfellow and friend, to the per sou in authority. Here, in fact, a degree of intelligence was shown which is nearly allied to reason. Don't ppcak ill of your old maids.

They who turn frcm tho scenes of distress, betray their hypocrisy, and prove that interest only moves them.
