Lot us first sketch the liop ° B life, be
ginning , with his marriage, which takes
place towards the end of January. He
has first to seek his wife; but as the males
are far mote abundant than the females,
who are often cut off in infancy, it is not
rare to find a young lady pestered by the
addresses, or three or four gallants, who
quarrel with the sseerbity of Jealous lov
ers. If one of them does not succeed in
disabling or driving away the others, Ma
dam, impatient and dissatisfied, leads them
into the presence of an old lion, whose
roar she appreciates at a distance. The
lovers fly at him with the temerity of
youth and exasperation. The old fellow
receives them with calm assurance, breaks
the neck of the first with his terrible jaws,
smashes the legs of a second, and tears out
the eyes of. ; the third. No sootier is the
day won, and the field is olear, than the
lion tosses his mane in the air as he roars,
and then crouches by the lady, who as a
reward for hie courage, licks - his wounds
Caressingly. When two adult lions are
the rivals, the encounter is more serious.
Au Arab laying in a tree one night saw a
lioness followed by a tawny lion,with full
grown mane ; the lay down at the foot of
the tree; the lion halted on his path, and
seemed to listen. The Arab, then heard
the distant giowlingi of a lion, which was
.Instantly replied to by the lioness under
the tree: ''This made her husband mar fu

her as if to folic her tobe sileni, and then

for about an hour, when a black lion sp.
peered upon the plain. The Renews arose
as if to go towards him, but her husband;
guessed her intention, and bounded toward
his rival: . 'The two crouched and sprang
match other, rolling on the grass in the
embtare of death. Their bones wicked,
their flesh was torn, their cries of rage and
agony rent the air, and all this time the

CONDENSED EGO.-A prowls has been

they will keep good for any length.of time.
This is effected by evaporation. The
yolk and white of the egg are'exposed to
a slow Liaat, and the moisture is thus
driven off. The whole is then reduced to
powder and packed up in this. Tito mate

used for all cooking purposes in the same

Eloquence...
The following passage is from the speech
of Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio. It
is said to have produced's thrilling effect
upon the House. We can well conceive
that it would do this. The records of
Parliamentary eloquence in this country
furnish few finer passages. Mr. Bingham,
in speaking of the ilbl3ody code" of Han.
sac, said :
Al,, sir, Congress is to abide by those
statutes, which makes it felony for a citiien
zoo to utter or publish in that Territory
"a Tithing cakulatod to induce slaves to

Hence it would be felony there, to utter
the strong words 6fAlgernon Sidney "Re

a felony to say with. Jefferson, "I have
sworn upon the altar of my Sod eternal
hostility to tyrant in every form over the
mind and body of man ;" a felony to utter
there in the hearing of a slave upon Anil
lean JO% beneath the American flag, the
words of fame which shook the stormy
soul of Henry. "Give me liberty or give
me death ;" a felony to read in the hear
ing of une of these fettered bondsmen the
words of the Declaration. '-All men are
born free, and equal, and endowed , by the
Creator With the loalienable rights of life
and liberty?" a felony to utter those other

That platform is sufficiently broad and

Pennsylvania Sentiment in 1819.
PROTEST OP PENNSYLVANIA IN

"SATURDAY, DOCeMbOT 11, 1819.
"A motion was made by Mr. Duane
and Mi. Thicken', and read as follows,

ItYlvania, while they cherish the right of
the individual States to express their opin

the Congress of the Union, are aware
That its usefulness must In a great degree
depend upon the,. discretion:with which it
is exercised; they believe that the right
ought not to ha resorted to upon trivial
subjects or unimportant occaiiions ; but
they are also' persuaded that 'there are
moment's when the neglect to exercise it
would be a dereliction of public duty.
"Such an occasion as in their judgment
demands the frank expression of the send.

last Congress of she United States, and
will probably be as earnestly urged during

to `the'Deity, by the veneration which
'they entertain for the memory of the foun

WHITE SLAVES.--Some of the white
slaves of the North ate charging inconsis
tency on J. P. Blair beenese he is a 'slave.
bidet. Washington was a slave-holder—
so was Jefferson, and so was Henry Clay,
but they were all opposed to tho extension
of slavery. Col. Fremont was raised in a
Slave State also, and he is opposed to.the
extension of Slavery. There is no Incon
sistency in this conduct, but on the con
trary, it is the best endorsement of their
patriotism and love of country. The
white man at the North who advoestes
the extension of slavery by 'word or deed,
'is unfit for a freeman—ke ought to be
caught by Pierce's negro•catohing Mar-.
shale, branded as a slave, and sold to tome
negro driver down South as a slave vll the
days of his life. Such white men in the
North can easily , be spared. and we don't
believe that any person would interfere
with the Marshals in catching them. If
"Ten Cent Jimmy" was held as a slave
for about a year, down South, we hardly
think he would endorse , the Cincinnati]
platform after his return.

"Among the many good reasons why
Mr. Buchanan can never be elected to the
Presidency, there is one which is conclu

sympathy with him. Without their nym.
