The Child and . the Skeptic.
A little child was sitting beside a cottage door,
And with sl Bible on her knee, she conned its

And ‘ w r ig ied loam water and a crust, to cheer.hum
on his way.

And while he drank the welcome draught and

She sought assist the cottage door, the Bible on

At length refreshed, the traveller—a skeptic he—

son, I suppose I"
"No lerwora sir," the girl replied; "I have no task
to lova ;
But often to thou stories hen with joy and love

*And wherefore do you love that book, my little
maid I pray,
And turn its pages oar and o'er the livelong sum

••Why love the Bible, did you ask 17how angry ,

I can never forget my first Olen of John
Taylor: It was in the• Court-house at
Lewisburg, Convey county, Arkansas, in
the 'seminar of 1833. The occasion itself
possessed terrible interest. A vast con.
course of spectators had assembled to wit
ness the trial of a young and beautiful girl,

Judge waited at the moment for the Sher.
iff to bring In the prisoner, and the eyes of
the impatient multitude all centered on the
door, when suddenly a stranger entered,
whose appearance rivitcd universal atten
tion. Here is his portrait ; a figure tall,
lean, sinewy, and straight as an arrow ;
a face sallow, Whines, and twitching in
cessantly, with nervous i ability; a brow
broad and massive, seemed filled with
tinkles, but not with age—for lie was
ecarce forty ; eyes reddish yellow, like
the wrathful eagle, as bright and piercing ;
and, finally, a mouth with lips of cast iron,
thin, curled, cold and sneering, the intense
expresion of which looked the living e.n
bodiment of an unhreathed curse. He was
tubbed in a snit of new buckskin, orna
men teelafter the fashion of Indian costume,
with hues of every color of the rainbow.

crowd, and apparently unseonseious that

About twelve months before, the defen:
dint had arrived in the villege, end opened
an establishment oflnilliner. Residing in a
row connected . with her shop. and all alene,
she prepared the articles connected with her'
highly respected and honorable trade, with
unweaned labbr and Ciiiietimmete taste.
Her habits were occluded. modest, and reti
ring; and hence she might have hoped to
avoid notoriety. Lot for the perilous gift of
that extrierilinary beauty which too ellen,
and to the peer and friendless always,
proves a curse. She was soon sought atter
by all those glittering fire flies of fashion.
But the beautiful stranger rejected them
all- with unottering score and loathing.
Among these rejected admirer,, was one of
a c harecter from which the fair milliner
had everything to fear . Hiram Shore
was at once- opulent, influential and dissipa
ted. He was himself licentious. brave.
and ferociously revenirful—the meet fam
ous duelist of the whole south-west. it is
generally known that lie made advances to
win the favor of the lovely Emma, and
shared the fate of all other weers--a dis
dainful repulse.
At nine o'clock, on 'Christmas night.
1837, the people of Lewisburg were startled
by a loud scream of terror, while following.
with scarce an interval, came successive
reports of fire arms, one, two. three, with
a dozen deafening roars. They flew to
the shop of the mifiner, whence the amours
proceeded ; pushed back the unfastened
door, and a scene of horror was prosemed.
There she stood i i the centre of the room
e4th a revolver in each hand, every barrel
discharged, her features pole, her eyes
flashing widely, but lips ported with a fear
ful smile. And there at her feet, welter
ing in his warm blood, lay the all-dreaded
duelist, Hiram Shore, gasping in the hurt
agony. He articulated but a single In

Ito pay not the slglitest attention to his op

his forehead bowed on his hands, like one

I When the proper time Caine, however,
he suddenly sprang to his feet, crossed the
bar, and took his stand almost touching
the Jury. lie then commenced in a whis-
per, but it was a whisper so wild, so clear,
so unutterably ringing and distinct, as to
fill the hull from floor to galleries. At the
outset, he dealt in pUre logic, *operating

ed off through the crowd, speaking to no
one, thfiu'gh many attempted to draw him
into colOersation.
At eight o'clock the court house was a
gale thronged, and the stranger, according
to prontiae, delivered his sermon. it e
vinced into same attributes as his previous
eloquenie at the bar, the same compact

THE TIGER AND 1)00
In Saigon, where dogs are cheap, we
used to give the tigress one every day.—
They wire thrown alive in her cage, when,
after 'dialing with her victim for a time,
as a cat dues with a mouse, her eyes
would klegin to glisten and her tail
to vibrato, which were the immediate pre
cursors ef•death to the devoted little pris
oner, which was immediately seized by
the backed' the neck, the incisors of the
sanguinary beast perlimating the jugular
arteries, while she would traveriiii the
cage, timbers of which she lashed with
her tail, and stick the blood of her pray,
which hung suspended from her mouth.
Cne day, a puppy, not at all remarkable.
or distinguished in appearance from the
common:herd, was thrown in, who imme
diately on perceiving his situatiim, sat up
a dismal yell, and attacked the tigress
with great fury, snapping at her nose from
which ho drew some blood. The tigress
appeared tb be amused with the puny rage
of the puppy, and with as good humored
an expression of countenance as so fero
cious en animal could be supposed to as
sume, she effected to treat it as all play ;
and sometimes spreading hersell at kill
length on her side, at others crouching in
the manner of thu fabled sphynx, she would
ward off kali her paw the incensed little
animal till he was finally exhausted. She
then proceeded to caress him, endeavor
ing by many little arts to inspire hint with
confideneeia which she fluidly succeeded
and; in a short time they lay down togeth
er and Wept. From this time they were
inseparable—the tigress appeared to feel
11w her puppy all the solicitude ef a moth
er, and the dog in return treated her with
the greatest affection; and a small hole
was left open in the cage, when the tigress
would manifest great eagerness to get at
it ;.her adopted child was then thrown in
on which site would eagerly pounce ; but
immediately discovering the cheat, she
would eareis , t with great tenderness.—
The natives made several ruts uceetibful
efforts to stea, the dog.
