LOVE AND MATRIMONY. A BAORELOR ' S GROWL. When lovers are wooing and cooing, Pursuing some woman for a wife, Nought is thought of the storm that is brewing Te.bring cloudy weather Or life ; But those who have riihered the flowers From the footfall io of Oupid that spring, . Know titere.nriler in Hymeneal bowers, `Thorns, etties and briars that sting. ~,A79 • V is never wooer was truer; • .en 6 vows she allows not a beau To be near, or appear as ought to her ; Save one that he slightly may know ; But those who arc by when they sigh, And such little perjuries make, Can't conceive how these lovers can lie— Under such heavy mists of mistake. Their style of exclusive devotion Is all very well in its way, But this very unsociable notion They find after marriage, " don't pay." " My darling" will last for a while— For a while be at intervals kissed ; But though parted by many n mile, It is rarely that Madam is Miss ed. This " paying addresses" possesses A charm, as each lover allows ; But repeatedly paying for dresses Must follow Hymenial vows. Though Cupid the office conceals, That each helpless sufferer fills, Yet Hymen, more honest, reveals , Has duty of " paying up" bills. The Paradise promised by Cupid, With cherubs as guardian sp'rites, Is rendered remarkably stupid To those who must sleep there o nights, These cherubs must all of them eat, Though the fact is a lover beneath ; And his " heaven below" is replete With wailing and cutting of teeth. 'But a lover will never discover A fault in one ho would wed, From his dream never seems to recover Till his lamb to the altar is led. His idol then proves an ideal— Still worship ho possibly can— Yet, though he may love what is real, You'll allow he's an altar-ed man. 11115riliarno. A Thrilling Tragedy with a Shark. FROM A PASSENGER'S JOURNAL A dreadful and distressing circumstance oc curred while we lay becalmed in the tropics.— The vessel lay motionless and still, while not a breath of air so much as ruffled the glassy smoothness of the water ; at the same time the heat was so intense, that it was particularly painful to walk the deck in the thin slippers that are usually worn on board. The paint all rose in blisters, and it was deemed necessary to keep the men constantly employed in .laving the sides and deck with water to prevent the tar and pitch from,oozing away from between the planks. Three days had we remained almost stationary—a slight difference in the inclination of the vessel's head alone showed that the ship had moved. Fears began already to be entertained that, should the calm con tinue, our supply of water would be insufficient. A thick scum had, within the last two days, been collecting on the surface 'of the water, which was only disturbed by the bucket of the sailors, or the long fins and tails of the numer ous sharks which were skimming and hovering about within cable's length, awaiting, as the sailors superstitiously affirmed, the carcase of ono of their unlucky crew. Two albatrosses which had been floating at an immense height, almost perpendicular over the ship, and which had been discovered at the first dawn of day, were adduced as corroborative evidences that some ill was portended either to the ship or crew. A young, thoughtless and good-tempered fellow, named Willis, one of our cabin passen gers, who, having finished his education in r.ngland, was returning to his friends in Cal cutta, was 'supposed by our bigots on board to be the Jonah on whose account we were to be visited-,from having, some three or four dayS before shot a petrol, either to show his dexterity as a marksman, kr to add to the col lection of curiosities ho was forming—which,. in the oyes of the sailors, was a greater crime than any sacrilege whatever. Several attempts had been made, without success, to catch one of the sharks that swam around the ship ; at length a sailor who had been leaning over the tatfrail, watching the motions and movements of the long-fiuned monsters, hastily cried out that a shark was approaching the bait— a piece of pork, which the above mentioned Mr. Willis had begged of the captain, and which was floating 'some twenty or thirty yards from the stern, on the starboard quarter. Hearing a cominotion over head, I hastened up the ecinWtnibn -ladder, And joined the crowd who4cro thronging the , bulwarks and the main aad mizen channels, in tently awaiting the approaching capture of the victim, who seemed somewhat aware that there • • • • Lez - • 1 ; . .rep"›. v t uottb -to raai anb antrat 1511:115 3 eburation, • alaratitti, Inuasunt, Riarkrth, fir., Cr VOLUME IX. was " more than met the, eye," from his not immediately doing as " sharks are wont to do." Nothing could be seen of the rascal but a long, black, slender and pointed tail, which rose almost upright from the water, about three feet, in height, and occasionally his nose, as he neared the Unit. It was really beautiful to observe with what swiftness and grace he performed his evolutions round - the focus of attraction—leaving behind a wake which was the more distinctly traced owing to the scum alluded to. At length, Ile could withstand the temptatiork to longer, and having at last made up his mind, dashed with astonishing velocity to the devoted piece, first upturning himself, as he neared, upon his side, and showing for the first time his light grey belly, and the most tremendous mouth that can be conceived. His upper jaw and nose projecting considerably beyond his lower, is the reason assigned for the singular manner in which all sharks take their prey. The shark having, in rising, shown almost his whole body, immediately after sunk, Mit in a few seconds rose, evidently smarting front the hook. No time was lost in attempt ing to haul hint in, which, however, required great caution in the exec4on, for fear the line, which was not a stout . one, should fail, or the hook might slip, which sometimes happens, for the shark makes most c'esperate plunges in his efforts to escape, and which required some score fathoms of additional line to be given out. We could now better calculate his size,Jot having weakened and exhausted himself by hi.; exertions, his evolutions were less rapid, and he showed himself more frequently above the surface. He wag of the largest' size, certainly not less than fifteen or eighteen feet, aid of a species remarkable for their great voracity. It was at this period that the romantic and rest less Willis, anxious to finish the adventure, in sisted on giving the coup-de-grace with the harpoon, after the manner of the Greenland fishers. The Captain and others most strenu ously opposed the mad scheme so fraught with danger', and failing by argument to convince, was obliged to refuse him the boat. Foiled in his designs, be stationed himself on the mizen channels, armed with a harpoon, and there, with uplifted arms, awaited the next appear ance of his opponent. The shark neared him —he gathered himself up, and with desperate • force sent the harpoon whizzing from his hand. A lurch which the shark made at the mo ment prevented it front taking effect, and it (the shark) remained unhurt, saving the hook, which must have annoyed him. A fr• more certain and dreadful fate awaited the hapless Willis ; the effort had been made with such energy that he lost his equilibrium ; lie totter ed some time in vain endeavoring to regain it, and without being able to snatch hold of the shrouds or ratlings behind him, was precipita ted into the sea Within a few yards of the in furiated monster. A loud and piercing shriek from the unhappy wretch was responded by most of the spectators on board. A rope was thrown hastily over,'to which the poor sufferer endeavoured to cling ; the jolly boat, too, was instantly Manned, and was being lowered from the davits, when another dreadful shriek announced that the shark was preparing for attack. The poor, ill-fated wretch had seized the rope ; the splash of water told that the beat was already on its way to the recue ; already the hurrah of the crew, anticipated success,— when horrible to relate, the shark, who, in the first dash of the poor youth into the water, had retired some distance, no sooner saw the cause than ho wore round, remained a few Minutes stationary, and then, alike regardless of the noise occasioned by the men, the splash of the boat as it touched'the water—and its contiguity to the ship j impelled by that insatiable voracity which so peculiarly distinguishes sharks, he neared his victim, who was now hanging susended some feet above the water, when; at this awful and peculiarly painful moment a tremendous splash of the water was heard, and et the same time the huge monster, throwing itself entirely• out, of the water, apparently with as much case as a salmon or dolphin, seized its devoted victim —and when, with a dreadful plunge, it return ed to its native element, the legs of poor Willis wpm, missing from above the knees. The thighs, dreadfully lacerated, streamed with blood ; but for a few seconds did he maintain his hold-pale and apparently convulsed, one long shriek was all uttered before relaxing his hold; he fell into the sea—when he immediate ly disappeared. A slight gurgling of the Water j succeeded by a splash, gave evidence that he j sunk not alone. • Whether in the excusable flurry of the mo tnent, the coil of line to which the shark was at-- Inched had been dropped overboard, or whether the shark in its last retreat had silently drawn it away was never ascertained—for certain, it was never more seen. A few minutes after wards, a- commotion In the water being ob served sonic hundred yards ahead, the boat row ed to the spot, which commotion ceased as soon as the boat arrived near—and there on the sur face, surrounde4 for many by blood, aa4l2llAl---111Fillall IpDadpsatto floated all that remained of poor Willis—a por tion of his entrails. A singular coincidence,. as connected with the seller's predictions occurred, and which not a little confirmed them in their prejudices. While the above sad adventure was taking place the albatrosses had disappeared in less than an hour after the air became more cool ; and in a few minutes more, the wind freshened into a breeze, which soon bore us from a spot fraught with such horrible and tragic associa tions. To Loafers. Stand up here, my lazy rascals and let us reason about your daily vocation. Hold up your sheepish heads and say why sentence of the most unqualified condemnation should not be passed upon your conduct. How can you possibly havo the impudence to stretch your lazy bones on store boxes or block up the post office door with your carcasses, to the no small annoyance of busy working people who are en gaged in some useful occupation ? how can you be contented to ' pass away the time' in lounging around the streets, only shifting to avoid the raise of the sun—in company of your equally lazy, and equally useful companions, the dogs, perchance Once and Nwhilesetting your canine friends to light for the sake of gratifying your brutal love of fun ? and how can you have the unblushing impertinence to gaze under every lady's bonnet who is compelled to pass by, and just before she is:quite out of hearing in dulge in your vulgar propensities by remarking ' what a gait," what big feet,' or what a stuck up air,' and turning to one of ydur companions, inquiring of him how he'd like to hitch horses with that feminine for life ?' You poor fools, don't you know that her stuck up air was caused by her having to pass such a crowd of human brutes. And don't you know that in stead of criticising a lady's gait you ought to be at home mending your.garden gate ? And_ that no sensible feminine will hitch horses with any of you, as long as you pursue your present, business. Do you suppose that you was made for no other purpose than to loaf,' and hinder in dustrious people by asking unmeaning ques tions or standing in their way ? And do you think it decidedly sharp when you hail a gen tleman who is hurrying about his business, and ask him if he is walking for wages, and you are loafing for wages wi:ielt you will get some day if you don't mend your ways, i. c. free boarding in the poor house, or you may be pro moted to the high rank of private in the peni tentiary. Time may hang heavily with you now but you may hang heavily in time if you do not bestir yourself and be useful. Do you imagine that you wore created to do nothing, and that brains were put in your great pumpkin heads for the poor use you make of them ! Do you think it honorable for you to do nothing because you fathe'rs have enough to support you, when you know what they have got by honest industry. And do you suppose your mothers and sisters were sent into this world to cook meals and wash shirts .for such . worthless beings as you are•? And then when night comes, what do we see you at ? Why about a groeCry and liquor stores of course. There you post yourself and make it a rule to ask any workindman {vho may chance to come in and who has earned a few shillings in the course of the day, to treat,' at the same time urge .a reason that he is the only man in the crowd that is . making any money. And then after you have sponged enough off a clever fellow to make night hide ous with beastly shouts, and finally lay down in sonic gutter with your equally respectable companions, the hog. Now ain't you a beautiful set of fellows ? riAons we ought to call you. Your brazen face ought to be covered with shame at the idea of de grading poor human nature in this manner, es pecially when you acknowledge• that it is an awful burden to do so. Then go to work like men, or else take arsenic and make yourself of some use, by giving the printers a chance to publish your departure under the head of suiL cide. That's so ! raigration of MINN. Though the migration of birds is yet but im perfectly understood, we cannot sufficiently ad - mire the natural instinct of these little area, tures, and the Providence of the Creator, which, at certain seasons of the year, almost to 'a. day,. instructs them to commence their journey, and guides them to their destined shore. The tal ents and universal Acquirements of man may justly claim some part of obr admiration ; yet he finds the aid of the compass and nautical science necessary to transport himself in safety from one part of the globe . to another. How much more wonderful is it then, that the feathered tribe without the assistance of either, ascertain their course with'the greatest preci sion ! The Mariner himself is frqUeiily lost . in uncertainty; not so these; true as the needle to the north, they, far out of sight of land, pursue their unerring way, supported by that Power which directs their flight. ALLENTOWN, PA., MAY 30, 1855. The :Tonah of Nicholas. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Boston Transcript gives 'the following particu lars of the burial place of the Czars of Russia : The most interesting church in St. Peters burg is that dedicated to Sts. Peter and Paul. otherwise called the " Fortress Church," as it stands within the citadel of the city. Its slender spire, precisely resembling that of the Admiralty, raises far above all 'others, to the height of 340 feet, and its gilded surface shines dazzlingly in the sun. It is said that 1,000 ducats have already been expended in the gild ing of this spire. But within the Fortress Church rest the remains of all the Czars since Peter the Great. No European Monarchs rest so unostentatiously, and no others are buried within the wells of a fortress. To each Empe ror there is erected merely a sarcophagus, with frequently Li. initial letters engraved upon it.— Each of these sarcophagi is cov - ered with a pall of cloth of gold, embroidered with the double headed eagle. Upon the Grand Duke Constantine's tomb lie the keys of some Polish fortresses, while Alexander's bears a small military medal, with his portrait. Each tomb is surrounded by a neat iron railing, and the part of the nave de voted to the tombs is again separated from the the body of the church. As I visited the church during Lent, the cloth of gold was con cealed in every case by a faded black covering. Beginning with Peter the Great, I passed by all the Czars in chronological order. Here lay the great Catharine, and, sleeping quietly by her side, her husband, Peter 111., to whom she .in her life time refused this place. Around one of the sarcophagi I saw a dense crowd, and approaching it, found it that of Nicholas. The cloth was new, and no dust had settled upon the ermine border. His initial letter was embroidered in amaranth, and a candle burns day and night upon the tomb.— The little relic that was placed upon his breast while he lay in state in the Palace, lies upon the middle of the sarcophagus. It is surround ed by 0 wraith of immortelles. Every one who approached the spot seemed touched with real sorrow, and all spoke in whispers around the grave of the great roan. As I stood there watching the crowd, the gates were suddenly thrown open, and an old General in full uniform entered and approached the tomb. Taking oft: his helmet he held it before his face, and, kneeling, seemed fur a few moments to be en gaged in earnest prayer. The helmet shook in his hand as with emotion. Finally raising, he kissed the relic that had lain upon his master' breast, and then crossing the aisle kissed Ale. tinder's tomb in the same way. He had served under both Emperors, au this, his daily tribute to their memories w: most touching. Ile is the commander of tl fortress of St. Petersburg, and one of the la: acts in the public life of Nicholas was to that him for his public services. The Czar sent hi the imperial portrait enriched with diamonds, Upon the walls and around the pillars of tl Fortress Church hang trophies taken from tl Turks, Persians and French. In this way tl Russians have decorated all their churches, ai hardly a nation but is represented in St. Peters burg or Moscow. The English, I believe, are the only exception, but„'who can tell how long they may continue so I" Above three l'hindred Persian suns and Turkish crescents here bow before the cross of the Christian. Plowing with Elephants. P. T. Barnum has an elephant upon his farm at Bridgeport, Connecticut, which he uses to Plow, and work on the farm generally. In a note to the editor of the American Agriculturist, he describes his operations as follows " The elephant bas been at work on my farm a little over• one week. He takes the subsoil plow and drives it down from sixteen to twenty one inches, in a tight, hard sward, and moves so fast and easily that it is hard to realize that he has any thing attached to him.' He walks nearly twice as fast as a horse, and plows as correctly as the best broken team in the world. His attendant sometimes rides him, and some times walks (fast) by his side, while another man holds the plow. He also draws carts, stone-boats, (drags) loads wood, piles timber, picks up stones, and makes himself generally usrfnl about the farm. ' As for the profit of farming with elephants, I have not taken that .part into consideration, and probably shall not, though at a .' rough guess,' I should think, all things considered, oxen, horses, or mules, would be quite as eco nomical on a farm as elephants. But of this I leave the public to judge for themselves, when I inform them that he eats three pecks of oats per day, and about two hundred pounds of hay. The one I use is as docile as a cow, yet, this is not always the case. 11:7. The Holly Hock has faded, Polly ; ' The sun- flower's lost its huo, Yet surd as I live, by golly, I see no change in you. Bow to be UreaSthy. There is but one way to preserve the health and that is to live moderately, take proper ex ercise and bo in the fresh air as much as possi ble. The man who is alWays shut, up in a close room, whether the apartment be a minister's study, a lawyer's office, a in ofessor's laboratory or a merchant's gaslight store, is defying na ture, and must, sooner or later, pay the penal ty. If his avocation renders such confinement necessary during a portion of the year, be can avoid a premature break-down of the constitu tion only by taking exercise during the long vacations of theiStumner and winter months.— The waste of stamina must be restored by fre quent and full draughts of mountain and sea air, by the pursuit of the sportsman, by travel, or other similar means. Every man who has felt the recuperative effects of a month or two of relaxation, knows from his experience how general Its influence of spirits; how it almost recreates him so to speak. Between the lad brought up to physical exercise in the invigo rating open air, and one kept continually at school or the factory, there is an abyss ofdiffer ence which becomes more perceptible every year, as manhood am - fro:mites the one expand ing into stalwart, full chested health, while the other is never mere than a half complete man. The advantages of exercise are as great to. females also. All that we have said about pre serving health in the man is as true to the op posite sex. But this is not the whole. The foundation of beauty in woman is exercise and fresh air. No cosmetics are ulnal to these.-- The furious Diana, of Poictiers who maintained her loveliness until she was nearly sixty, owed this extraordinary result, in her own opinion, to her daily bath, early rising, and Fier exorcise in thc•saddle. English ladies of rank are cele brated, the world over, for their splendid per sons and brilliant complexions, and they are proverbial for their attention in walking, rid ing, and the hours spent daily out of doors.— The sallow cheeks, stooping figures, suscepti bility to cold, and almost constant ill health,. which prevail among American wives and daughters, generally aro to be attributed almost entirely to their sedentary life, and to the infir mity caused by the same life on the part of their part of their parents. A woman can no more become beautiful, in the true sense of that term, or even remain so, without health ful exertion in the open air, than a plant can thrive without light. If we put the latter into a cellar, it either dies out right, or refuses to bloom. Shall we wilt our sisters, wives, or stirring it until slaked. When quite slaked. dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of common which may be had at any of the drugeists, and which in a few days will cause the whitewash to harden on the woodwork. Add sufficient water to bring it to the consistency of thick •whitewash. • To make the above wash of a pleasant cream color, add 3 lbs. yellow ochre. Fur fawn color, add 4 lbs. umber, 1 lb. In dian red, and 1 lb. lampblack. Fur grey or stone color, add 4 lbs. raw- um ber, and 2 lbs. lampblack. Thu color may be put on with a common whitewash brush, and will be found much more durable than common whitewash. Horses Trorabled At this season of the year, the following re ccipe to prevent horses from being teased with flies, may be humanely instructive to owners and drivers of horses: Take two or three small handfulls of walnut leaves, upon which pour taro or three quarts of cold soft ,water; let it infuse one night and pour the whole next morning into a kettle and let it boil for a quarter of an hour. When cold it will be ready fur use. Nothing more is re quired than to moisten a sponge with the liquor and before the horse goes out of the stable, let those parts which are the most irritable be rubbed over with the liquor, viz : between and upon the_ cars, the neck, the flank, &c. Not only the dy or gentleman, who rides out for pleasure, will be benefilted by the walnut leaves thus prepared, but coachman, Wagoner and all those who use horses during the hot months.

A Hungry Carpet Bag.- A Buffalo paperrelates the following as a y,eri table fact : A few days'ago, among the palm-. gcrs on the railroad between Cleveland and Buffalo was a shrewd genius on his way to New York to buy goods. The train held up at Eris for a short time to enable the passengers to get dinner, and our traveler with the rest marched into the dining room of the hotel, deposited his carpet bag on one seat, 'while he took another . by its side, and commenced " walking into" the , eatables, his appetite being sharpened by the. long ride since breakfast. In a few minutes' time the landlord came round, and stopping by his chair, ejaculated, "Dollar, sir." "A dol lar," responded the eating man, " a dollar— thought you only charged fifty cents a meal for one, eh ?" " That's true," said meanness," but I count your carpet-bag one, since it occupies a seat." (The table was far frcm being crowd— ea). The traveler expostulated, but tho land lord insisted, and the dollar was reluctantly brought forth. The landlord passed on. Our traveler deliberately arose, and opening his carpet-bag, full to its wide mouth, discoursed unto it saying : Carpet-ba : z—it seems you're an iudividual—a human itMlual—sinao you eat—at least I've raid for you, and now . you -must eal"—upon which he seized everything e:b4able within his reach, raisins, nuts, apples, cal:cs, and pies, and amid the roars of the by standers, the &light of his brother passengers, and the discomfiture Ale landlord, phlegmati cally went and took his scat in the cars. Ho :;aid he had provisions enc,:gh to last him to New Ymk, after a bountiful supply had been served out in the cars.
