WOMEN OR WINE.
BY T. WARD
An epistle to the !lemon who recommended the in.
trodnetion of women in place of wine at entertain
ments.
I have tried both—so those who would a part take,
May chooie between the hesdeche and the heartache
Oh! weak and foolhardy reformer,
To substitute women for wine,
The glow of whose presence is warmer
.1 1 11 an the sunniest juin of the vine.
Believe me, less fatal are juleps
Than women in witchery skilled;
For there oozes more venom from two Ups
Than ever from from grain was distilled.
Who barters for beauty his whisky,
The change will be certain to rue;
PO? her eyes shed a spirit more frisky
Than lurks In the test "Ipaghtata OR."
Ah ! those eyes at each meeting so merry,
You'll find to onteparkle champagne;
And ringlets more golden than sherry
Will fuddle as well the'pOor brain.
More tapering necks than bottle's,
With months more trewi'chingly crowned,
Will pour 'rem their ravishing throttles
A'atream that a sage would confound.
If wind makes us brutes, love is able
To turn us to fools with like ease—
If one lays us under the table,
'Tether brings us at least to our bless.
After dinner, when warmed with good eating,
'ye woman, not wins, we should flee ;
“Perfect Love's , ' a ehasee-cafe more heating
• Than even abused "eats de vie."
Still at table some mischief she's brewing—
, Oft feet serape acquaintance
below—
Alt, no heel taps so pregnant with ruin
As those hidden taps of the toe.
And hands, between courses at leisure
:Hake friends where there's no one to mark,
Ah ! less poison yield grapes under pressure
'Than fingers thus pressed in the dark:
As home reels the toper of beauty,
Row minion his image, poor elf !
How-fevered he•sleepa! how hie duty
It left to take care of itself.
When thwarted how palsied his powers,
i
Till he sinks n despair at death's door;
Oh! if woman her 'victim thus lower.,
fay, what can the bottle do mote ? -
No spirit so ardent as woman's—
So sure to intoxicate man—
Her touch is delerium tremens,
That meddene him more than the can.
The glance of her eye is "blue ruin,"
Her blush is the blood or the vine,
Her pout is a punch, in whose brew ing
Tart, spirit and sugar combine.
So sparkling, so heating, so heady,
pjg hope for her victim appears
Should her smiles only render him giddy,
He'd be surely made drtink wito her tears.
Not the grape-juice of Eden made Adam
Se stupidly forfeit his
But the lure of hie volatiliMadam
Led him.tipsily on to hi fall.
Cleopatra nude Anthony reel,
When the hero chose here for a toy--
And for Helen large hosts took the field,
Till down fell the stout-walls of Troy.
Not the wines of fair Cypress, the rover,
Bo pure, as its women beguile; •
Better rest where he is, "half seas over,"
Than steer for so fatal en isle.
Oh then, shun such a tempter as this is,
Nor commence im hazard us court,
Who ambit-he on the waves of her treason,
Will, grieve that be ventured.from port.

CROCODILE *LIFE AND DEATH.
walking along the banks of theYor
tuguess one may see these huge lizards col
lected in groups of half a dozen or more,
basking in the sunshine near the water, with
their jaws wide open till their ghastly palates
are filled with flies or other' reatures alighting
within them. We tried in vain shouting them
with guns ; the reptiles were so wary that the.
moment we took aim they rushed into the
water. Being at a loss bow to procure a sub
ject for my pencil, I sought the advice of an
old man, an angler by profession, who lived
in one of the huts near the river. He agreed
to let me have his canoe, with hie son to pad
dle it, and the requisite number of harpoons,
providing I could obtain the assistance of an
Indian boy from the neighborhood, who was a
capital marksman with a bow and arrow.
'What r I exclaimed in astonishment, 'do
we expect to kill one of these monsters with
so slight a thing as an arrow IP' 'No, Senor,'
he calmly answered, 'but you must first
know where to find him under water before
you can strike him with the harpoon ; the ar
row of which I speak is the kind we use in
catching turtles.'
"These arrows are constructed so as to allow
the head, affixed to the shaft somewhat in the
manner of a lance, to come off the moment it
strikes an object in the water. A slender cord,
several feet in length, connects it with the
shaft, which last is made of a buoyant reed ;
around this the cord is wound closely until it
reaches the point where the head is, then fas
tened securely. The shaft, being extremely
light, floats on the surface of the water the
moment it is set free from the head by the
struggles of the animal, thus acting as a guide
for its recovery.
4 " The old angler then proceeded to explain
that the operation must be conducted by send
ing one of these arrows inte the body of the
crocodile to mark his position under water ;
and then, if practicable, we might plunge a
harboon into the only vulnerable spot we could
hope to reach, viz.: the nape of the neck, after
which the animal could be easily dragged on
shore by means of strong ropes attached to the
harpoon.
" , Accordingly," went in search of the Indian
boy, whom I found under a tree, seated like a
toad on his haunches, skinning a porcupine he
had just killed. At my approach he raised his
head and fixed on me his unmeaning eyes.
When spoken to, he only replied to all my
questions with the monosylables, si, no. After
a little coaxing, and the promise of some fish
hooks, he followed me to the canoe without
uttering a word more.
We were not long in getting a chance to
test the skill of my new acquaintance. As we
approached the river banks a large orockodile
hove in sight, floating down the stream like a
log of wood. Our position was most favorable
to send an arrow rattling through his scales,
and my young Nimrod lost no time in impro
ving the opportunity. Stepping a few paces
in advance, and bending gracefully over the
precipice, he let fly at the reptile's head his
slender, yellow reed, por elevacion, viz.: shoot
ing the arrow up into the air at an angle of
forty-five degrees, which causes it to descend
with great force upon the object, after descri
bing an arc of a circle in the manner of a bomb
shell.
"Although the distance was fully 800 paces,
the arrow struck the mark with the precision
of a rifle ball. A violent plunge of the reptile
was my first intimation that the trial had been
successful, and ill 4 moment I perceived the gol
denreed, now attached to him, swimming swift
ly over the surface of the water. We hastened
for the canoe, and immediately gave chase, up
stream, as the crocodile had taken that direc
tion. We ,were rapidly gaining upon him,
when, alarmed at the sound of the paddles, he
sank, in very deep water, as was indicated by
the reed. This circumstance rendered it im-
PRICE TWO CENTS.
I possible to employ our harpoon. Wearied in
vain to ;start him ; he stuck to the muddy bot
tom, whence neither pulls nor curses could
move him. We hoped that in time he would
come to the surface to breathe, and then we
might strike him with a harpoon ; but in this
we were equally disappointed. .
"After waiting for him two hours, we gave
him up, along with the arrow head sticking in
his own. I made various other attempts to
secure a specimen, but with no better result,
as the river was yet too high to sound for them.
" While in this place I want old several in
cidents in relation to the cunning and! nstinct
of these minims, one of which appeared to
be most remarkable in an animal of the reptile
tribe. The ferryman here possessed a great
many goats. Once he perceived that several
of them had disappeared, and, not being able
to account for it in any other way, he at once
laid the blame on the bated crocodiles, although
these creatures seldom carry their attacks be
yond their own elements. His suspicions, he
discovered in the end, were well founded, hav
ing witnessed the destruction of one of his
goats in a very singular manner. It appeared
that a Crocodile had in some mysterious way
discovered that goats delight in jumping from
place to place, but more especially from rocks
or mounds. Books, however, being rather
scarce in the country, their treacherous enemy
undertook to gratify their taste for this inno
cent pastime, and at the smite time cater to
his. own. Approaching to the water's edge to
within a few feet from the bank. he swelled
out his back in such a manner as to give it the
appearance of a small island or promontory.
The stupid goats perceiving this, varied their
gambols by jumping from their secure places
on shore upon the seeming island, which they,
however, never reached, for the crocodile, toss
ing up his head at the right instant, received
them into his open jaws and swallowed them
Without difficulty. -
"No person can venture near the water with
out danger from their attacks, being so treach
erous that they approach their intended vic
tim near enough to strike him with their pow
erful tails before he is even aware of their
proximity. The bubbling sound of a gourd
being filled with water by some imprudent
person specially attracts him. To 'Obviate this
danger, a•ealabash. bowl,with a long wooden
handle, is initially employed for the purpose
yet this is not unfrequently snatched from the
hands of the water-carrier.
"If by accident a human being falls a prey
to this tyrant of the river, the reptile is then
called cobras., which appellation implies every
thing that is bold, ferocious and treacherous
in an animal of the species, as from that time
they not only waylay person's, but follow them
in the canoes, in hopes of again securing this
dainty morsel. There. are, however, men bold
enough to meet the enemy face to face in his
own element. The man who waken up his
mind -to this encounter is Well aware that this
must be a conflict to the death for one of the
antagonists.
"The :ferryman related to us a feat of gal
lantry worthy of a better cause performed
here by a Llanero with one of these monsters.
The man was on hie way to San Jamie on a
pressing errand. Being , in haste to gpt there
the same day, he would not wait for the canoe
to be brought him, but prepared to swim across,
assisted by his horse. HO had already secured
his saddle and :olothee upon his head, as is
then lurking near the pass, urging upon him,
at the same tiine, to wait for the canoe. Scorn
ing his advice, the Llanero replied with char-
acteristio pride, 'Let him come ; ' I was- never
yet afraid of man or beast.' Then laying
aside - part of his ponderous equipment, he
placed his two edged dagger between his teeth
and plunged fearlessly into the river.
"He had not proceeded far when the mon
ster rose and made quickly towards him. The
ferryman crossed himself devoutly, and mut
tered the holy invocation of Jesus, Maria y
Jose !' fearing for the life, and, above all, for
the toll of the imprudent traveler. In the
meantime the swimmer continued gliding
through the water towards the approaching
crocodile.. Aware of the impossibility of stri
king his adversary a mortal blow unlese he
should reach the arm-pit, he awaited the mo
ment until the reptile should attack him to
throw his saddle at him. This being accom
plished filo successfully that the crocodile,
doubtless imagining it to be some sort of good
eating, jumped partly out of the water to catch
it. Intently the Llanero plunged his dagger
up to the very hilt into the fatal spot. A
hoarse grunt and a tremendous splash showed
that the blow was mortal, for the ferocious
monster sunk beneath the waves to rise no
more.
' , Proud of this achievement, and scorning
the tardy -assistance of the ferrymen, who of
fered to pick him up in his canoe, he waved
his bloody dagger in the air, exclaiming, as he
did go, Is there no other about here and
then turning, he swam leisurely back to take
his horse across. The canoero who related" this
adventure then added, So delighted was lon
that occasion that I killed my fattest hen to
treat the man to a good Baucocho, for the cai
man had devoured all my. goats.' "
How A MAN FEELS AND /LOTS DURING AN
EARTHQUAKE —The Boston Traveler publishes
the-following extract of a private letter from
Manilla, giving the writer's personal experi
ence and sensations during the late terrific
earthquake which visited that city : " Itwould
be impossible to give you an idea of the late
earthquake, for, though I have read the ac
counts of many severe ones, I never could re
alize the position until I had felt one, and I
never knew what dreadful destruction it could
make until the 3d of this month. I have heard
nothing talked about but earthquakes for the
past ten days, everybody telling their experi
ence and giving their idea of causes and effects
of earthquakes in general. My experience was
that I had finished my soup and was helping
myself to fish, when three or four tremendous
up and down bumps came. I ran for the Am
tea (piazza, covered with iron roofing.) Then
came t.helearful swinging motion from north
to south. I clung to the post (wooden, which
supports the iron roof) to keep myself from
falling, expecting every moment that the stone
walls which supports the Mote* would give
way and that I should be thrown into the river
with the house on top of me. The whole shock
did net last over half a minute, but it was an
eternity to me. The falling f stone houses
and tile roofs was terrific ; part of our roof
(weighing seventy tons) fell in. About three
hundred feet from where I. was the tower of
Binondi Church fell through the roof of the
church. This tower was one hundred and fifty
to two hundred feet high, built of solid stone,
four to six feet thick. Yet the din from fall
ing churches and houses was so great that I
did not distinguish when it fell. When the
shock was over, the air was so filled with dust
of lime that I could scarcely breathe, and there
was s carcely a breath of air. BverybodY was
in the streets; praying or fleeing with what
they had saved, into the country. For ;days
after, the people walked the streets without
speaking; and 'there was no noise of carriages,
and no bells in the City where there were thou
sands moving before at all honre."

of the Abolition ticket: • It :isstatedson good
authority that one wealthy .contractor alone
subscribed and paid $25„000, to fund raised
by the Abolitionists to carry_ the State. A
Washington Republiean•paper stated that over
nine thousand persons in. - the civil departments
of the Government, as clerks, contractors, &0.,
, had gone to Pennsylvania: 4 Note for Cur
tin. In addition to these, there were from
15,000 to 20,000 soldiers selected to , vote for
Curtin, and sent into the different counties for
, that purpose, while the thousands of Demo
cratic soldiers were detained on duty. Had
all the Pennsylvania soldiers - been - permitted
to comelionie.andzutixtreely with the people,
and the-election been conducted with perfect
fairness,we cannot doubt that Woodward
would ave`b'een elected by a very decided ma
jority..
We regard this as the darkest hour our coun
try has ever seen. God alone can tsee the end
of our troubles. The verdict of the people of
Pennsylvania, as it stands recorded in the re
election of Governor. Eiiirtin, is a virtual en
dorsement of all the sots of the Lincoln admin
istration. It is in effect saying to Father
Abraham and his advisers and rulers : Go
on as you hitie for , the past two years and a
half—prosecute the war for the most unconsti
tutional purposes--keep addingto thd burdens
of the•people—lcad tts down with mountains
of debt—continue to disregard the Constitu
tion. of .the .country 7 -in short, do, what you

principles of constitutional Liberty and Union,
but contimielo be guided by, and Tabor and
contend for them in the future, as in the past.
od's cfo it, have
no regrets for their defeat, eicept AS it delays
that salvation.
In one view of the case it may be all for the
best that Judge Woodward was not elected.—
If he had been chosen • the Chief 'Executive
officer of the State, the people Weald' have ex
pected much more from him than he would
have been able to give aim. lie could have
done nothing practioal to end the 'war or to
restore peace. As it is, the Abolition party
have everything in their own hands. They
must assume the entire 'responsibility of all
that is done. The war will of course go on
and continue to the end of Mr. - Linoidn's term
at least. Our people may as Irbil make up
their minds that the nation is to , continue to
pass through scenes of bloodshed and carnage
—that for eighteen months lager, at least, we
are to have weeping and mourning for the loss
of precious lives, needlessly sacrificed in fruit
less battles, by the imbeoility and fanaticism
of the administration on the one hand, and on
the other by the rashness or ignorance of gen
erals who have obtained their commands
through political favoritiem—that we are to
continue to• see the iron hand of arbitrary
power used in crushing the constitutional
rights of freemen who are not in rebellion—
that another draft or, two will fellow under the
harsh and infamous conscription law that dis
criminates so unjustly against the poor man
and in favor of the rich that millions more
of the treasure of the nation is to,,be squan
dered on political favorites and dishonest con
tractors,
All tbese things may be right. J lt may be a
part of the great plan of the itlf-wise God who
rules and reigns over all nations, that this peo
ple should pass through, years of strife, car
nage, bloodshed, waste, weeping, mourning,
and desolation, to their former state of peace
and prosperity. If so, we must submit to His
decree. lint It is a consoling feeling to every
good Democrat—to every man who did not sup
port Mr. Lincoln, to know that he had no part
nor lot in bringing these terrible evils_npon
the country.
We exhort the 240,000 men who supported
Judge. Woodward to stand firm. Do not de
spair. Our principles are right,.our impulses
are honest, our motives and objects patriotic
and religiously correct. . A day of reflection
and retribution Will surely oeute—aud come,
perhaps,. when those by whom it 'should be
most dreaded, least expect it. Until then, with
an abiding faith in Divine Providence and the
justice of our principles, let us suffer in pa.
deuce and hope.
