One day last week a singular circumstance (iccurred in Wambwcll's Royal Menagerie, corroborative of the retentive memory said to be possessed by lit id most vicious of the forest tribe, the tijer. A sailor, who had been strol ling round the exhibition, loitering here and there to admire and identify some of the ani mals with thasc he had seen in far distant climes, was nttracted by the strange noite made by a tiger, who seemed irritated beyond endu rance. Jack, somewhat alarmed, sought the keeper to inquire the cause of so singular a die-play of feeling, which he remarked, became more boiTcrous lUo nearer he approached the animal ; the keeper Tvp'ied that the behaviour of the tiger indicated cither that lie was vastly pleased or annoyed ; upon this tho sailor again approached tho den, and, after gazing at the ti per for a few minutiv, during which the animal became f rant ic with seeming rage, lashing his t.iil against his sides and diving utterance to the most frightful bellowiiiiis, discovered the ti'jertn be the same animal hro'njlit (rom F.ng 1 Hid under the special care of the weather-beaten tar. It now heeame Jack's turn to be tie lihtlv, a it appeared the tiger was in recog nizing his old friend, and, after making repea ted applications to be permitted to enter the den fin the purpose, as he said, of "shaking a fist," with the beautiful animal, he was suffered so to do; the iron door was opened and in jumped Jiick tothe delight of himself and striped friend, and to the astonishment of the lookers-on. The affection of the animal was now shown by ca tering and licking the plensed sailor, whom he denied to welcome with the heartiest satisfac tion ; and when the honest tar left the den the nnguish of the animal appeared almost insup portable.

What a little flirt was Stella 1 And yet if to lie the most bewitching, the most entrancing enslaver of hearts, entitles a fair maiden of se venteen to be a flirt, then is Stella fully exone rated, for she was all these yes, ten thousand times more ! Never was there seen such a sylph ; so light, so airy, so full of grace ! Never was a little head set sobewitchingly on a pair of shoulders, that seemed dimpling with laughter at their own whiteness; never were there such a pair of eye ! they were not black, or blue, or hazel; one could not tell their color ; but Mitch eyes ! Alas, for the swains, who would not Fiom the glonce of her eye.ahun danger and fly," for were they not otherwise in a pretty state ol commotion ! O 8uch thumping and pumping of hearts ! such Etna's of sighs 1 Then such a mouth had Stella fragrant as the blossom of the sweet pea ; and hands and feet which even Titania might have envied. Her voice was like the sweetest notes of the .Eolian harp; and her laugh more musical than fairy bells if one could hear them ! But then she waj such a flirt 'it was too bad in her too bad ! O the snares she would spread with Cupid, sly, mischievous dog at her elbow f Then, skipping around, she would laugh and clap her little hands, to see the poor fellows tumble in. And she would look so very demure, too, and feel so very sorry ! Why would they like her! It was not Aer fault bless her little innocent heart, not a bit of her fault ! Ah, Stella, Stella! was it not enough for you to lead in your chains the village youths; city exquisites, doctors, schoolmasters and lawyers! Must you also sport with divinity itself! Naugh ty, naughty Stella. It happened that for several months the church in the village of Iirraine was without a pastor. The pulpit was either supplied from the neighboring towns, or occasionally the in habitants were favored by some clerical travel ler from the distant cities, who, charmed by the beauty of the place gladly tarried the Sabbath in so lovely a spot. Indeed no one that has ever vieited this de lightful village could leave it without regret. Situated on the Borders of the lovely Connecti cut, forming a silvery circlet for the luxuriant meadows, as varied in hue as the tiara of a queen ; here the emerald, there the pale topaz of the graceful wheat, the sqamnrinc of the tail maize, and the ruby red of the fragrant clover. Iifty mountains bound the view on three sides, but on the other, far as the eye can reach, are scattered villages and towns, whose spires and white dwelling gleam through orchards and groves, while here and there the Connecticut is.-i?ain .een pursuing her silvery way, as if playing n prrp with earth and sky; now hi ding amid the deep forest, and then bursting forth in gladness ; mimicking on her surface cloud, tree and shrub. One Saturday evening, as the sun was last disnppenrins behind the mountains, the east ern stape came driving, Jcui-like, down the principal street of Iirraigc, and dashed up in fine style, with cracking whip and sounding horn, to the door of the Union Hotel. Just at the moment the steps were let down, a party of young girls were hurrying swiftly past, appa rently to avoid coming in contact with the pas. eenjjers of the coach, Stella was among them, and as she looked up in some confusion, her eye encountered thofe of a stranger, the expec ted clergyman. lie started with surprise at this vision of the loveliness, and remained almost unconsciously watching her light figure, until it vanished like a bird, amid the drooping foli age ofthe elms which bordered the stiect. It might be be was too much absoibed in the subject of bis next day's discourse to do justice to the excellent supper of bis host ; certain it is, the fine trout, the snowy bread and fragrant butter were nearly untasted ; and, taking his hat, William Godfrey strolled out in the beauti ful twilight. Saturday evening! On the loveliness of that quiet summer-eve, amid the hills and val leys of New England ! The stars were beginning to peep bashfully forth ; a slight mist was rising from the river as if to curtain tip the distant mountains, and the music of the frogs, tho chirping cricket and ceaseless katydid, were the only sounds that met the car. William Godfrey passed slowly down the avenue of elms, and gazed wistfully at the doors and windows ofthe ncut cottages, but nowhere could he sec Stella, and, in ditp pointed mood, he returned to the hotel. The next morning dawned a f.ure and glo rious as the day it ushered in. All was still ', theweet note of the joyful birds or the cheer, ing sounds from the farm yard were alone heard. The graaa lay glittering as though linked to fairy chain by the fragile gossamer, while each leaflet and flower bore its silvery dew drop- Pleasant waa it for the young cler gyman to Icon upon a scene of aueh beauty ; a bcene calculated to inspire the holier feelings HI ii AND SIIAMOK1N JOURNAL.

The church bell sounds. The streets, before so solitary, aro now filled with villagers, all wending their way to the house of Uod. Wil liam Godfrey that morning excelled himself; no one listened to him without interest and holy pleasure ; and certainly there was no one but might have improved by bis discourse. When the service was ended, several of the more re spectable villagers pressed forward to solicit the clergyman, as was the custom, to partake of their family dinner. He was about, howe ver, to decline all their kind invitations, when an elderly lady approached, and with great sweetness and dignity rendered her band, ac companied at the same time with an urgent re quest that he would accept of her hospitality. Could he refuse her ! for was not the sweet girl on whose arm she loaned, the very same that had haunted his night visions! and, as Stel la looked up, ho caught the second glance of those bewitching eyes. No, he coW not re fuse ; and, offering his arm to the elder lady, he accompanied them to their dwelling a cot tage nestled amid honeysuckles and roses. And now mark what a chain of magical beauty Stella wove around the clergyman ; each hour, "fanned by Cupid's wings," adding a new link, until at length Godfrey became indeed a willing captive. Morniiif.', noon and evening found him by the side of Stella ; they read, they walk ed together; or together rode through the sha dy groves or along the verdant banks of the Connecticut ; and Godfrey made no scruple of accompanying Stella's pretty songs with his own fine voice. There was to him n charm in every thing Stella did, perfectly irresistible. The clergyman was deeply in love ! Well and Stella ! Little minx ! she thought Mr. Godfrey so very kind, to very agreeable! she did not think a minister could be so agree Ide ! Then he was very intelligent, too, she said, and she was proud to have iiim toapprjve or direct her reading. To walk with him was delightful, for he talked so beautifully of the charms of nature ; and above all, she so admi red to bear him sing ! But as to loving him why the thing never entered her crazy little head. Mercy ! to think of her becoming a so. her minifter's lady, and the head of Dorcrn societies ! Why it would bo like chan"im the brilliant little humming bird into the grave gray owl ! A week flew past it was again Saturday, and William Godfrey had accepted an invitation to preach in a neighboring town. The after noon was fine, and it not being necessary for him to leave Iorrainc until late in the day, he proposed to Stella an excursion on horseback. Off they went she looking so beaut ifully in her dark-green riding dress, her little hat and feather, and her whip, which she held like some fairy wand. She sat the horse, too, as graceful as a bird, and like a bird she flew along, carol ling gaily, and making sweet music under those graceful elms and fragrant evergreen pines which canopied their path. Not one word had Godfrey yet breathed of his attachment ; but this afternoon, he ft It, must decide his fate. Twice he essayed to speak, but was too much agitated to pro:ecd. "Stella," said he at length, in a faltering voice heie he heeitated and all was lost! for at that moment, on emerging from the thick et into tho high roid, an open carriage passed them. In this carriago sat a gentleman more over, not only a young gentleman, but a very handsome gentleman and so long and earn estly did he stare at Stella, that she blushed like a damask rose. The carriage drove on Stella turned her head to look after it ', tho stranger's head was turned, too -very awk ward ! and Stella blushed still deeper. 'I wonder who that can be,' said she, 'he is very handsi-tuc who can it be ! This was said rather to herself than to her companion, and a no answer was required, none was given. But a pang went through the heart of poor Godfrey ; why, he cauld not tell, yet it seemed as the chill of death to all his warm hopes and imagining. They 6oon reached home ; and, as Godfrey bade her good evening, he said, as he pressed her hand, "I shall return, my dear Misa Lee, on Wednesday, when I hope to liave a conver sation with you, on which, 1 hesitate not to tell yon, much of my future happiness depends J un til then, dear Stella, adieu." The colot fled from the cheek of Stella for, to do her justice, she had no idea until that moment how deeply she had interested ber companion; and, bidding htm a hasty farewell he ran into the house. letting her littlo bat fall on her shoulders and holding up the skirt of her long ridmg dress, she tripped Into the parlor, and there, on the little chinti covered sola Aer sat the handsome stronger, in con versation with her grandmother. She would have retreated, but it wa too late. "Mr. Do'ivai.my dear,"aid tbe good lady, iT1ii ,. n." there i no app. al but to force, the vital principle Ia. Saturday, Mny SIT, 1S43.

And now if those scores of disappointed youths, dying by inches for tho love of this cru el maiden, could have taken a peep into the heart of their fair enslaver, they would have seen themselves about to be revenged. Even Cupid, falrfc fellow ! just at the moment, in stead of aiming bis arrows from her eyes, turn ed sportively round, and pointing direct to the heart of poor Stella, drew bis bow -twang .' yes, there sped the shaft I Mr. Dolivar was truly, an elegant young man ; of polished manners and conversation. To account for his sudden appearance in Mrs, Lee's parlor, it is only necessary to say, that so much had he heard of the loveliness and excellence of Stella Ixe from her aunt, in whose family ho was intimate, and from others who had chanced to see her, that at first his curiotity wa aroused next his pity for the young orphan, (for Stella had lost both her parents, while yet an infant,) and he deter mined, at all events, ho would see this paragon himself. With letters, therefore, of introduc tion, he proceeded to lirraine. When be met Stella on horsebsck, his eyes and heart told him she could be no other than the object which had brought him thither. But who, then, was that pale, young man, her companion ! "Only a young clergyman," said grandma, in a tone which seemed to say, "O no danger from a clergyman." But not so thought Dolivar, until, by the art less manner of Stella, he saw that her heart at least was untouched. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, passed like charmed days ; and Tuesday evening found Stella Lccthe barotht-d bride of Ed ward Boli var! Foor Godfrey! I don't belive she thought of him once, until Wednesday morning when, just as Dolivar left ber for a few moments to write to his friends of his happiness. William Godfrey entered, his fine face beaming with delijrht nt seeing her again, Stella Unshed, turned very pale, then blushed again ; she trembled, too, and hesitated; and, in short, ap peared so m.ich like a young girl in ore, that Godfrey luid the "flattering unction to his soul," and immediately opened his whole heart to the trembling girl breathing forth in tones of deep emotion his pure and fervent line seiz ing her reluctant hand, he asked, "Tell me, dearest Stella, may I hope for a return of my affect ion ! Say, can you love mc! Poor Stella ! what at that moment were her feelings ! She nearly fainted, so great w as her emotion ; but, recovering herself, and with drawing her ham!, said, in a voice almost lost in agitation, these last words : " am engaged." Then, bursting into tears, she fled from the room. The unhappy lover rushed from the house just in time to meet the happy one at the en trance. O St,Ua! Stella. ' C. H. B. A Pigeon Roost. The following account of one of the enormous Pigeon lloosts ofthe West, is from the Miner's Exprers, published al Du buque, Wisconsin : "A Mr. McDowell came to our office yester day, and told us that there is an immense Pi geon Roost in the forks of the Musquoketa in Jackson county, such as has never been seen in this couutry before it is three miles long and a half a mile in width. There can be no estimate made of their number. Their roost ing places arc about a mile distant from their nests and feeding places, being three in number, and each one covering a section of land 1 and in passing to and fro, they darken the air with their number, and breakdown young trees vlth their weight, and hundreds are killed by getting entangled in the fulling timhs and branches. The people kill them with clubs, and the noise is so loud that when a gun is fired amongst them, the report cannot be heard and a person can stand in one place and shoot all day, the birds returning ft soon as you call load. They are building their nests and the people aro alarmed, lest they may destroy their crops." Sn at a Birth.

If this method should prove successful, it would be of vast benefit to this Stale. A new method of making malleable iron di rect from tho ore at one process ; it is the in vention of Mr. Clay, and ia used at lhe Shiroa Woiks, near Kirkinlilfuchv By this process a mixtuieof dry lurmatite. or other rich Iron ore, is ground tip finr with about four-tenths of ils weight of small coal : this mixture is allowed to pass gradually through a hopper in an oven Adjoining and forming part of ii species ofpud ling furnace, into which a given quantity is drawn At stated limes, when thoroughly and uniformly heated. The charge is then puddled in the usual manner, but with less labor lhan tohen working plate ron) and in about an hour and a half the Iron is produced in a malleable state, fit for shipping and rolling inlo bars. Af ter another process of filing and rolling again, mclleable into Iron bars are produced of a qual ity (as was staled by s)me members present) superior to the cable bolts or best Iron usually made by the long and expensive process of cal cining the ore, smelting in the blast furnace, and refining the pig Iron, and the saving of fttel is necessarily very great. The Iron was stated, also, to be capable of be ing Converted into sleel of superior quality, and when worked by Mr. Heathka plan, of uniting manganese in the process cast steel wa pro duced, which possessed the property of welding or uniting to Iron and in consequence, all the cutlery, which was made of sheer steel was now made of cast steel The cast Iron produced by the scoriae, or refuse slag of this process, is of a better quality, in consequence of the absence of phosphoric acid, which is ordinarily present in the lime stone and as a flux in the blast furnace, This discovery may be the means of working comparatively unopened mines of haematite of rich quality existing in Lancanshire, Devon shire, and Cornwall, all of which could be bro'ighl into use by this means ; and if, as aver ted, the Iron made good steel, England would be rendered independent of Sweden. The discussion was renewed upon Mr. Clay's process of making malleable Iron from ha?ma titeore It was shown that out of twenty-five thousand tons of steel made annually in this country not more than twothousand five hun dred tons were made from the best quality of Swedish Iron ; the rest was made from inferi or charcoal Iron from Russia and Germany or Irom English Iron, which was not well calcu lated for converting."
