THE DAILY POST.
SATURDAY MORNING::::
Jack Frost ho lived in a flue new house,
White, and light, and tall;
And what was the name of Jack's now house?
Oh, he called it Icicle Hall.
Did Jack live all alone in hie house?
Oh no! for yon most know
Ile had tile mat little wife with him there,
And her namo was Jenny Snow.
You may think they lived upon coolish terms
In their Icicle Hall;
But Frost and Snow were sure to agree,
They never fell out ut all.
They gave their parties and saw their friends,
With frequent feast and treat;
There was young Mr. Rain and smart Miss Hail,
And rattling old Mrs. Sleet.
Sometimes when dull Mr. Fog dropped in,
They were not so gay as before;
lie would hang abort the !Ivo-long day,
And was voted a dismal bore.
One day, Jack Frost and his wife resolved
To be grand in Icicle Ball;
For it would have been strang if Jenny snow
Could not get up.a Ca/
the party was large, and gay, and fine,
An,/ chandeliers of light
With frosted crystals sparkled and shone
In rainbow colors bright.
Wreaths all white, and tes'oons of snow,
Hung round each Otto tug wall;
Aud ice snowed over formed the floor
Of the rooms In Icicle Hull.
But while they walked and danced about,
Vie walls h.gau to rtream
The floor wee flooded. the roof fell in,
Diem - dying like a dream.
Win bud performed this marvellous feat?
It Wll9 one whom no one saw;
A ided above by the envi ms Sun,
It was mischievous 'old Mother Thaw !
AN UNCOMFORTABLE NIGHT.
[CONCLUDED.]
Then the curtains waved, parted ; a bright
beam of moonlight fell on the floor, and, directly
intercepting its rays, stood a frightful figure
the satyr of hdathen mythology, the origin of
our Christian superstitious portraiture of the
arch-enemy, a huge living specimen of that
strongest and fiercest of the ape tribe, the
Simla Salyrus, or wild man of the 'Footle. This;
then, explains the mystery. The creature must
have escaped from some menagerie, and found
its w/-ty in by the open window, and, with the
cunning of its race, had concealed itself till .the
growing darkness gave it increased boldness.
I knew enough of the animal's wicked and ma
lignant nature to feel convinced that my only
chance of safety lay in eluding its observation ;
while, therefore, it stood at the further end of
tile room, still grasping the ourtain, and survey
ing its new quarters with a horribly grotesque
curiosity, I endeavored to draw the street quietly
ft:f.re my face; but my slight movement at once
arrested tile creature's suspicious glance, and,
with a single bound, it squatted itself, grinning
and guaahing its teeth, on the foot of my bed.
IL now gave myself up for lost, and endeavored
to prepare for a horrible death by summoning to
my aid all the support of religion. While I
strove to fix my thoughts on the sujects which
sis ,uld occupy the mind of man in his last ex
tremity, I fixed my eyes with the fascination of
terror on my fearful companion ; and to my in
expressible relief and thankfulness, I found that
ho grew restless and uneasy under my steady
gaze, and turned his head in another direction.
All at once flashed into my mind the stories I
had read, and only half believed, of the power
of the human eye over the brute creation, and I
redoubled the intensity of my stare, looking
fixedly into the creature's eyes. It grinned and
jabbered, and moved its arms about restlessly;
and, mindful of my only remaining chance, in
the event of its springing towards me, I got my
hands quietly under the bed-clothes, resolved to
make au effort to throw them over its head be
fore it could seize me in a gripe which, I well
knew, would not relax till it left me a mangled
corpse.
Gradually, however, the creature drooped its
hideous head on its br,ast, and was on the point
faldng asleep, when a brand from the nearly
extinct fire fell with a slight noise, and aroused
It again to full activity. The flame which sud
denly leaped up, for a moment diverted the at
tention of my jailor; and the uncouth creature
rote from its squatting p4ition on my bed, and
approached the fire, holding out its mis-shapen
hands, and covering over the warmth with,a hor
rible resemblance to human action.
I now resolved to slip, if possible, unseen from
my bed, and either gain, the door, or, if I could
Rio no more, conceal myself between the bed and
the wall, and trust to the brute's _forgetting my
presence. When I attempted to move, however,
1 found my right foot, which had been under the
creature as it sat on the bed, so completely
numbed or twisted as to be altogether useless;
and the attempt to move only served to draw on
me the wrathful notice of my enemy, Uttering
a kind of hissing sound between its teeth, it
darted to tile further corner of the room, and
se zing a large bone from the heap that lay there,
again took up its quarters oa the bed, and threat
ened to strike me with the bone in a manner evi
dently copied from that to which it was accus
tomed from its keeper.
Thus situated, 1 had no alternative but to trust
again to the power of the eye. The fire had now
died completely out, and one ray of moonlight
fell, through au opening in the curtain, right
upon the creature's hideous face. I fixed my
gt,ze upon it till I began to feel a strange effect
produced upon myself; first the grotesque mask
seemed to approach nearer and nearer, till it
appeared as if it were about to touch me; and
then, while everything grew dark around it, it
seemed to shine with a pale ghastly light, as if
seen far off, at the and of an immeasurable cave.
I felt all the sensations which I have heard de
scribed by persons who have been mesmerised,
and I have no doubt that my nerves, highly
wrought upon and excited as they were by the
circumstances in which I was - placed, were pecu
liarly sensitive to the subtle influence. Aff the
thought crossed my mind, together with the
dread of becoming insensible, and thus being
completely at the creature's mercy, I made`an
involuntary movement, as if to free myself from
the spell.
The fierce brute aimed a sudden and violent
blow at me with the bone which it still held in
its grasp. Mechanically, I moved my head to
elude the stroke, the full force of which was thus
spent on the pillots, or I should probably the,n
and there have ended my earthly career. As it
was, the bone glanced off the corner of my temple.
au acute pain, a gush of warm blood down
my ch•ek and throat, and for a few moments I
became insensible.
Tue instinct of self-preservation restored me
to life. I seemed almost by foroe to recall my
scattered senses; and the room being now per
fectly dark, I succeeded by slow degrees in glid
ing teem the bed to the floor, while my tormentor,
apparently satisfied with the revenge it had taken,
curled itself up in the very place I had just quit
ted, and slept—at least so I conjectured from
the cessation of its restless movements, and now
and then a heavy grunt or snort, whioh bore a
humiliating likeness to a human snore.
The hours which followed were among the
longest I ever remember to have passed. In
slipping from my bed, I bad so entangled myself
with the sheet, that I found it would be impossi
ble to move without disturbing my horrible
neighbor; the wound in my temple smarted, and
my head ached severely, and I could not repress
an occasional shudder, half of cold, and half of
nervous excitement, which ran through me like
a convulsion. Every time this occurred, I ex
pected my enemy to wake ; but the long, dark,
weary hours dragged on, and he still appeared
wrapped in slumber.
At length with joy and thankfulness which

will not attempt to describe, I perceived a faint
light, like a gray mist, steal over the black dark
ness around me. It was near the end of Octo
ber, and I remember that the sun did not rise
much before seven o'clock—consequently, that it
was probably now not far from six, and I might
reasonably expect before long to be released
from a situation which was all but intolerable.
I was summoning my best energies to my aid,
and considering what means I could adopt to get
the door open before I should be overpowered by
the creature, which I felt sure would spring at
me as soon as I moved, when I heard voices in
the garden, and in another moment, some one

loudly knocked at the door, and implored me to
open, for God's safe, if I was alive.
The creature startad up at the sound, mode
one furious rush at the opening of the curtain,
which now let in streak of decided daylight, and
at the same moment the crash of broken glass
and a succession of wild, piercing cries announced
that it had missed its leap, and fallen into the
hands of. its captors. I confess that at the mo
ment of release from the horrible fate which had
been impending over me for so many hours, I felt
my strength of mind and body at once give way,
and became completely insensible.
When I,revived, I found myself stretched on
the bed, the chill morning air blowing in from
the open doorway—the door having been
wrenched from its hinges—and poor Blackburn,
with a, face of the deepest anxiety, bending over
me with some powerful stimulant. "Oh, thank
God, thank God !" ho exclaimed, as I endeavored
to rise and speak to him. " Keep quiet, my dear
fellow; do not move or speak; only look at me
if you are in your senses." In a few minutes, I
could not only look, but speak, and assure him
that I was practically but little the worse for the
unpleasant night I had passed; but he would
scarcely ! listen to me, and kept on• repeating :
" The saityrus I the wild man of the woods l the
most fierce and relentless of animals!—how can
you hav4 escaped with life ?"
"I think God that it is so," I replied earnest
ly ; " foi• truly it has been only the hand of Hie
protection that has guarded me. But where did
the creature come from, and how did you discover
that it hid paid me a visit 1"
" Oh, that is the worst of all," said poor
Blackburn. "It was through my abominable
carelessuess that the accident occurred; and
if anything bad befallen you, I never could
have forgiven myself. It is bad enough as it
is."
" But has the beast escaped from a menagerie,
or how did it come here ?"
"It iS mine," said Blackburn, ruefully. "The
captain; of a merchant ship, klowing my turn
for natural history, and that 1 have a small col
lection in the garden here, gave me the brute a
few days ago. I had him chained in an empty
stable; and last night, after- showing him to
A— and G—, I must have missed the look of
the door, and turned the key without shutting
it. The man who feeds and attends my animals
came as usual about six o'clock this morning,
and finding the stable-empty, at once gave the
alarm. We traced his footsteps across . the mould
of the garden, to the window of this room, which
to our Consternation we found open: You may
fancy to what a pitch my fears increased, when
on knocking at the door the fierce brute flew out
of the window, and, catching its foot on the iron
staunchion, fell to the ground. It was over
poWered, not without some ugly bites and
scratches, and we then forced open the door,
fully prepared to find your mangled body.
Nothing was to be seen but the empty bed and a
large stain of blood on. the pillow ; but we soon
found you, insensible, and, as I first thought,
dead ; though a little examination sufficed to
show that you had received no mortal wound. I
cannot express my thankfulness. Bat your es
cape is a perfect marvel to me, and as soon as
you are rested and refreshed, you must give me
an account uf what happened."
Before long I was seated at a cheerful break
fast-table, making up as -best I could for the
wear and tear of my constitution during the last
few hours. By the time I reached Glasgow,
there remained little outward trace of my night's
adventure, except a very disreputable black eye,
which, for my character'e sake, I was forced to
cover with a patch ; but I will own that many
nights elapsed before my sleep ceased to be dis
turbed with frightful visions, or I could get rid
of the sight of a grinning, fiendish face, which
always started out of the darkness when I closed
my eyes. Indeed, to this day, Ido not think I
ever hear mention made of Liverpool without
remembering the very uncomfortable night I
passed in my first and last visit there, more than
ten years ago.
POOR LIVING.-A good Methodist minister at
the West, who lived ou a very small salary, was
greatly troubled at ono time to get his quarterly
instalment. Ho had called on his steward a
number of times, but had each time been put off
with some excuse. His wants at length becom
ing urgent, he went to his steward and told him
that he must have his money, as his family were
suffering for the 'necessaries of life. "Money 1"
replied the steward. "You preach for money!
I thought you preached for the good of souls 1 "
" Souls! " replied the minister ; "I can't eat
souls, and if I could, it would take a thousand
such as yours to make a decent meal." •
