[Here is an exquisite poem, which appeared in the Chicago Journal , li Id is probably from the pen of B. F. Taylor :] There's a beauteous song on the slumbrous air, That drifts thr. ugh the valley of dreams ; It comes from a clime where the roses were, And a tuneful lua.tand bright browu bair, That waves iu the moruingbooms. Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown, Anl snow-white foreheads are there ; A glimmering Cross anJ a glittering Crown, A thorny bed and a couch of down, Lost kope3 and leaflets of prayer. A breath of Spr'ng in the breezy woods, Sweet wafts from the quivering pines Elue violet eyes beneath green hoods, A bubble of brooklets, a seent of buds, Bin warblers and elambcring vines. A rosy wiealb and dim; led hand, A ring and a slighted vow - Three gulden links of a broken band. A tiny track on the snow-white sand, A tear and a sinless brow. There's n tln. tu*e of grief in tbe beautiful son, That sobs on the slumbrous air, And lonelimss felt in the festive throng, Sinks dowu on tbe soul as it trembles along, P rorn a cliuie where the rusts were. We heard it firs t at the dawn of day, Audit mingled wi.h matin chimes, But year* have distanced the beautiful lay, And its melody flowtteth from far away, And we call it now Old Times. ROBINS HAVE COME BACK AGAIN. There's a call u[on tbe housetop, an answer from the plain ; There's a w.irble iu the lucshiue, a twitter in the rain And through my heart, at sound of these, There comes a nameless thrill, As sweet as odor to the rose, Or verdure to the bill ; And all these joyous mornings My heart pours lortb this strain : "God bless the dear old robins, Who have come back again," For they bring a thought ol Summer, of dreamy luscious days, Of king-cups iu the tneadow. making a golden haze; A longing for the clover blooms, For roses all aglow. For fragrant orchards where the bees With drouir.g murmur* go ; I dream of all the beauties Of summer's golduo reign, And sing ; ' God keep the robins, Who have come back again " , THE CAPTURE OF • ROMEO "—A FEARFUL CONTEST WITH A FE ROCIOUS ELEPHANT. One of the most interesting, exciting and yet hazardous incidents which has occurred for many a dtiv, was the recap ture and conquering on Saturday last of the huge Asiatic elephant •' Romeo, " be longing t" Adam Forepaugh's Menagerie, on the farm of James B. Miller, in Hit bi.ro, a small unpretending village, twelve miles from Philadelphia, upon whose pi tin ise.s he has lu cn quartered duriug the past winter, together with the white cam. Is, dromedaries, lueses, and two other ele phants belonging to Mr. Forepaugh's Zoological and Equestrian Combintfion, which will open in Philadelphia next week. It will be, no doubt, remembered by the majority of our readers, that this is the same elephant that, killed his keeper, Mr William P. Williams, last December, not long after going into winter quarters the circumstances of which might not be unin teresting briefly to narrate in this connec tion. Mr Williams was in the habit, with other duties and cares, of washing and scrubbing the elephant every few days with waim water, the animal at the sain" time, being chained tiriuly hy securing both fore feet with a massive iron chain strongly fastened to rings, secured at the hottom of his spacious stall, which is built of solid masonry, of great thickness and strength, upon which rests the weight of a ponderous superstructure. From several circumstances that had transpired a few da\s previous, such as the annihilation of a pet cat, the knocking down of a camel which happened to enrne in the way, Mr. Willams, his keeper, was advised to be on his guard ; but having great confidence In to k n.> precautionary measures, and thus it happened rliat while he was in the act of procuring a fresh supply of water, with which to wash him, his back being turned, the elephant struck him a powerful blow with his trunk, postrating him upon his face, breaking his spinal column and ren dering him instantly helpless. Immediately the elephant caught him with his trunk, drew him beneath his forefeet, gored him with his tusks, knelt upon him with his knees,literally crushing every bene in bis body. At this fearful crisis, Mr Miller and other mem bers of his (aut'ly, alarmed by the cries of the unfortunate man, came to tin rescue, an.l, hy means of forks, spears, See., suc ceeded so far in diverting the attention of the infuiiated monster from lis victun as to extricate the dying man from his power. Mr. Williams, it is hardly necessary l<> add, lived hut two hours after this sad event. Being securely chained, he wat, of course, nnablc to do any further mis chief. and in this predicament be has re mained all winter, no person bting able to conquer and subdue him. Of course, " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " if permitted to remain so all the time, he would be harmless enough, but the travel ing season for the menagerie approaches, and his lordship is needed somewhere else ; and some means, therefore, must be devised by which he can be subdued and nude available for the approaching cam paign. In this extremity Mr. Forepaugli was obliged to secure the services of his old keeper, Mr. Stuart Craven, who had charge of him before he was imported to America, for six years since that event, but who in consequence of declined health ; was ad vised to travel in Europe, and about eighteen months ago set out for the Ori ent, and wishing to combine profit with pleasure pursued his journey into the inte rior of Africa, Asia and Lower Egypt, ac cumulated an extensive assortment of the most rare and curious animals, and also of the feathered tribe, among which were some of the finest specimens of Africa and Asiatic elephants, camels and dromeda ries, &e., ever imported into this country, all of which have been recently merged into the mammoth menagerie belonging to Adam Forepangh. Mr. Ciaven being an experienced ani mal (am r, wis deemed the most advisa ble person to take charge of the recapture of "Romeo, "as he is Hie only person who has ever succeeded in conquering and subduing this, the largest specimen of an Asiatic elephant on this continent. To this end, Mr. Graven proceeded on Satur day last, assisted by the fearless and in trepid animal performer, Mr. James Fore paugh, to Ilatboro, accompanied also by an army of men with ropes, tackles and chains to bring this monarch of the Orien tal jnngal to his haunches who has been a kind of terror to that community ever since the unfortunate death of Mr. ,Wil liams. Immediately on the arrival of his old keeper, although he had been absent about 18 months, the elephant recognized him, became restive and defiant, made a fearful charge upon hirn with his trunk, with which, but. for the chain hv which he was strongly tethered he wo'd have instant ly annihilated him. This was quite unex pected to his old keeper, but experience has demonstrated that when once the ele phant becomes enraged, he b just as quick to fight his best friend as those whom he has never seen. In shoit Romeo was Un complete master of the situation, and great apprehensions were entertained lest, becoming still more lerociotis, he should snap his trampers and make a great nav oc among the spectators. To he prepared for this emergency ropes and chains were made ready, ard by the wisdom and dis en lion manifested by Mr. Graven, assisted by Jaines and George Forepaugli ; both hind feet of the monster were secured by chains which the infuriated beast proceed ed to break like so many gossamer webs tloating in the air. These efforts were time and again repeated and as often buffeted. Larger chains anil ropes were brought into requisition, which in their turn yielded to the superior strengtli and prowess of the mi nster brute, which con temptuously spurned every effort used to capture him, until it was evident that some more effectual means and appliances must be resorted to in order to dislodge him frotji his stronghold. The chief point now to he accomplished was to so hamper and entangle his legs ir. the massive chains with which he was confined to the stall as to render him at once lots de combat.— In this Mr I raven, assisted by George Forepaugli, the renowned elephant hunter, was more than equal to the task. By an adroit movement of a specie ß of lasso, a large rope was looped around Ins hind leg. instantly tightened by a triple fail-block and by the aid of a large con course of people, attracted by curiosity to witness the capture, he was brought to realize for fhe sixth time of his life, that 4 Knowledge is power " and to his man dates he must sooner or later succumb Before yielding, however, he made some desperate lunges at his keeper, and sever al times came near annihilation him with his trunk. It was hard for "R meo.' how ever.ro kick agai; St the goads, lie gradually found himself ilia ra<k which out Ueroded tin* palmiest days of the Inquisition. In spite of himself he was finally bro t down, to the no small delight ol the spec tators But he was so obstinate and in domitable that he would not beg for mei cv. When the elephant ii subdu d lie us ually makes his acqu esence manifest by a p'aii live noi e, which, tlio-e accustomed to the animal, know and understand as well as anr -titer knows the cry ot her child. Ad day Saturday was consumed, and Satuiday night found Irm stdl ob-ti nate. Sunday morning cuie and stiff lie wa* unwilling to yield. However excru ciating the torture, writhing all day Sun day in Ins galling chains, M->nday morning came and with it a disposition to yield to the conquest At nine o'clock Monday morning, Mr Craven had him completely tindi r his control, and never was a whip ped spaniel more docile. Loosing his chains the keeper found no difficulty in conducting the conquered monarch to this city, on Monday. * As he is now on exhibition at Manayunk. Onr citizens need have no apprehension of dan ger. as "Romeo," like Richard the Ilriid, is "hims.'lt again." Something of an adequate idea of the marvelous size of this mastodon of the an imal kingdom may he formed when it was discovered, on weighing htm after his cap ture, that the scales were brought down to five tons and three hcndbkd pounds. The total number of human beings ou the earth is computed to he 3,000,000,000, and they speak 3,064 known tongue#, HONOR YOUR CALLING. We commend this paragraph, from tie London Economist, to all who have a " vo cation It is a good thing when a man is proud oi his work or Ids calling. Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault constantly with their particular busi ness, and deeming themselves unfortunate because fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. In this spirit men fret; and laboriously destroy all their com fort in the work ; or they change their business, and go on miserably, shifting from one thing to another till the grave or the poor house gives them a fast grip. But while occasionally a man fails in life be cause he, is not in a place fitted for his pe culiar talent, it happens ten times oftener that failure results from neglect and even contempt of an honest business. A man should put his heart into everything tiiat he does. There is not a profession that lias r.ot its pecuilar cares and vexati -ns.— No man will escape annoyance by chang ing his business. No mechanical business is altogether agreeable. Commerce, in its endless vari- j eties, is affected, like all other human pur subs, with trials, unwelcome duties, and j spirit-stirring necessities. It is very wan-1 tonncss of lolly for a man to search out the fn-ts and burdens of his calling, and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life.— They are inevitable. Brooding over them only gives them strength. On the other hand, a man has power given to him to shed beauty and pleasuie upon the home liest toil, if he is wise. Let a man adopt his business and identify it with his life, and cover it with pleasant associations; for God has given us imagination, not alone to make some poets, hut to enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart varnish w ill cover innumerable evils and delects. Look at the good things. Ac cept your lot. as a man does a piece of rugged ground, and begin to get out the rocks and roots, to deepen and mellow the soil, to enrich and plant. There is some thing in the most forbidding avocation around which a man may twine pleasant fancies, out of which he may develop an honest pride. THE NEW BONNET.— After Governor Gilmer, of Georgia, returned from office, he went to his old home in Lexington.— ' lie had a penchant for old irons, such as plough-shares. old carriage <g. stone cranks, old shovels, and the odds. and ends of plantation tools. Attending ; the sales of estates, he accnmu'ated an ox- ! cart load or two of such stuff, which he ! dumped down in a corner of his yard near his dwelling, very much to the annoyance of his wife. The pile kept increasing.— j She determined to make awav with it, and 1 one day (Sheriff's sale day) sent it to the ! court yard (with the knowledge of the Sheriff, who loved a joke) to be solJ to the highest bidder. Governor Gilmer that morning rode out of town a mile or two, and was returning as the Sheriff was pro ceeding with his sales. Catching the eye of the Governor, who was looking on, he j pointed out to him the lot of old iron, and requested him to make a bid for them. j " Good," said Governor Gilmer, " I will;; I have 6ome pieces at home that will match j exactly. I hid ten dollars for them." '• Ten dollars ! ten dollars !*' repeated j the Sheriff—(nobody bids more) —"They i ate yours, Governor." Delighted with the purchase, he paid ten dollars, and left them in the yard for j future movement. The Sheriff paid the j ten dollais to Mrs. Gilmrr In a few days sire bought a handsome bonr.et, and the ] Governor, admiring it very much, said: i " My dear, where did yon get that pret- j t v bonnet ? It is beautiful and becomes you.' " Don't it, husband, don't it! I bought it with the ten dollars you paid for your own old iron trash." The Governor wilted—be was sold by his own wife. But time cured the chagrin, and the g>od Governor had frequently to join in the laugh at his expense over this little incident. The Richmond Enquirer says that a gentleman in that city recently purchas ed some oysters from a York river boat ; attached to and imbedded in the shell ot one of them, he encountered a me'a'iic sub stance. This oyster he carried home, and there proceeded to break it to pieces with a hammer, when he found that it contain ed a French gold coin, known as a Louis d'or, of the value ot about fourteen dollars, hearing date. 1573. It is probable that it was lost overboard from the French fleet, daring the seige of Yorktowu gg" An Englishman was once making some, extraordinary statements as to the speed of a horse which he owned "My dear sir," said an American bystander, '• that is iather less than the average speed of our roadsters. I live at ray country seat, and when I ride to town in a hurry in the morning, my shadow doesn't keep up with me, hut generally comes into the store a minute or two" after my arrival. One morning my horse was a little restless, and 1 rode him as haid as I could several times around a large factorv, just to take the old harry out ot him. Well, sir, he went so fast that 1 saw my back before me the whole time, and 1 was twice in danger of riding over myself 1" CIT" WiN' am Howett, now ninety-three years old, says he owes his .longevity and health to four doctors—Temperance, Ex ercise, Good Air and Good Hours. STARVED TO DEATH.— W® cut the fol lowing from an exchange A respectable, industrious womifn, the mother of nine children, died of starvation, last week, in Philadelphia. Her husband who worked in a foundry, had been out of work for some weeks, and the poor woman, too proud to ask assistance, had denied herself that her little ones might have food, until nature could endure no more, and she perished. This is the way it goes, says the Doyles towr. Democrat. A white woman starves to death in Philadelphia for want of food, while the government keeps up a bureau, which cost the taxpayers several millions a year, to feed, clothe, and educate negroes. This thing goes on year after year and the people quietly submit to it. Congress de votes a large share of its time (o the negro and all manner of ways are devised to make him more comfortable and give him new power, notwithstanding women arc permitted to starve in Philadelphia, under the nose of the Union League. It seems sometimes that justice has taken its flight from this world. And the laborer has but a poor prospect ahead. All that rich Southern trade that kept the Northern workmen employed, has been destroyed, and though it might have been long since, partially, if not wholly, restored, Congress is mischievous ly bent in further destruction. Industry at the North will never resume its wonted prosperity until affairs are settled in the South, so s to encourage white enter prise. Political Miscegenation. A DISGUSTING EXHIBITION, —We copy the following from a Philadelphia exchange a few days ago : In Chestnut street this morning, upon the promenade, where all was brightness and beauty, conspicuously among the throng on the north side ©f the street, walked a male negro, mpon whose arm leaned a beautiful and richly dressed white woman. We saw the satne disgusting spectacle on Saturday. That we almost doubted the evidence of our senses is shown in the fact that we made no men tion nfth nnusnal sight. i nis morning we saw the saiue couple. The man is as black as a roll of Russia sheet-iron, and sports his handsome apparel with evident complacency. The woman is yonng, very lady-like in mien, and was elaborately at tired in purple velvet and costly furs. At first the idea was that she might he of the demimonde. Of this we are now assured to the contrary. The case is evidently one of the grossest miscegenation. It is the first we have seen openly paraded in the public streets of this city. What could he more disgusting to a per son of the least refinement than the exhi bition above mentioned ? What must a white woman think of herself who will marry a negro, and thee parade her shame before the world f The teaching of the Radicals leads to the pit into which this woman has fallen and degraded herself. - - ■ A WOMAN TAKES TIIE FIELD. —The editor of the Memphis Avalanche having been arrested, the wife of one of them has undertaken to conduct the paper. Mrs. Fanny B. Galloway, the lady in qucstioa, publishes in the Avalanche a card from which we take the following extract: 44 A preconcerted arrangement has been made to crush out the paper. It cannot be done. Duiing the incarceration of my husband and Mr Campbell, I am con strained to take charge of the paper, and can be found at the editorial rooms of the Avalanche, and if men are not brave enough to defend their rights and tbeir i liberties, 1 trust the paper, for the next ten days, will prove that there is one woman ready to defend the rights and liberties which weak and timid men seem disposed to yield. " THE IMPKACUEUS AGAINST CHASE. — Judge Chase's letter to the Senate was recently discussed at a meeting of the Im peachment managers. Wilson character ized it as nothing more than a statement of li s own self nnpoitancc. Old Thad was more outspoken in his condi mrflßon, and said, "I have always considered Chase a d d political trickster. During the earlv part of the year 1801, I had twoand a half hours'conversation with him, and he then urged me to advocate that it wo'd be best to allow the Southern St ites to leave the Union, and to acknowledge their independence. That satisfied me, and 1 tell you he can't be trusted, and it would be better for us not to put any faith in him.'* NOT SATISFIED —The Rads have always been blowing about the verbosity of President Johnson in his various mes sages. On Tuesday, however, lie changed his tactics, and sent in to Congress a veto of their late bill to abolish the U. S. Supreme Court in certain cases, so short, sharp and forcible, and yet with such modest dignity, that both Houses wete staggered—had to pause a whole <iay for breath, and watt for the cracking of the whips of the Tribune and Press before they conld pluck up courage to override the veto. And now the Radical papers arc blowing the other way —that lie is too brief! They are never satisfied. TERMS, $2.00 Per. ANNTJM, in Advance.

True goodness is like the glow worm ; it shines most when no eyes, except those of heaven, are upon it. It is not until the flower baa fallen off that the fruit begins to ripen.

" How many fine hats serve as a cover for worthless heads, and how many plated shirt bosoms covers a hollow cavern whers a heaft should be lodged. Ladies who have a disposition to punish their husbands should recollect that a little warm sunshine will melt an icicle sooner than a aorth east gale. If the beautiful and good are not always united, we can only say that they ought to be so. for they belong to each other at bloa som and fcuit.

"Because Heaven is afraid to trt an Englishman in the dark," was the savage's reply. "Ma," said a little girl to her mother, "do the men want to get married as bad as the women do ?" 4- Pshaw ! What are you talking übout ?" "Why, ma, the women who come here are always talking about getting mar ried—the mea don't." Put that child to bed. Douglasa Jarrold calls woman's arms "the serpents lhal wind about a roan's nek, kill ing hia.best resolution*." The "oldest inhab itant" says he don't object to that kind o' serpents. A poor fellow protested to his girl in the hay-field that his two eyes had'nt come to gether all night for thinking about her."— "Very likely they did not," replied the sweet plague of his life, "for I see your nose is still between them." A young woman's faney is like the moon which changes continually, but always has a man in it. EXTRACT FROM SAMBO'S SERMON. —"Strata am de road, an' narrow am da paff which leads iff to glory !"
