A ronTts RAILROAD ADVIONTURE
We find the following lines in the Knicker

aside.

walked to fro and along the passage way;

be told. There's a jingle in the subject, and
a rjMith, so to say, which defies prosaic, rules;
so I'll let it bare its way:
"The car wan full of passengers,
I can't recall the [mintier,
For I hod but awakened-from -

When a Indy, who sat facing ma,
Din ctly met my eye,

And suilled-1 !dim not why.

Are seated face to fuer,
In the silence of a railrond car,
A grave and formal place,
Their wandering eyes will sometimes niece
ny sonic strange fascinatiop,
they cannot keep their facet straight,
Though Uing with veiation.
Simpletons there doubtless are,
I.Vitose mouths are always stretching,
But the git 'tripes mink of maidlins , eyes
And dimpled cheeks is catching ;

I couldn't say what at ;
Then rho looked grave, anift looked grave,
And Men she laughed at that.
"She endea•orod to repro.. her mirth,
But couldn't hold It Itelf in,
For with face concealed behind a book,
She almost died a-laughing,
*She pouted when she found her lips
Determined on a amlle, -
Bet 'twee very plain the pretty rogue
Wan laughing oil the while.
"Thus happily the !no:tient. flew
To rue,nt least, of eourbe,
Though when she sow Inc smiling too,
It made the metier worse.
And *hen, al last, I left Ihe bar, '
I caught her laughing eye,
And had one more good grin before
I tore myself away.

TWO SCENES IN ANEIIAL LIFE.
THE TIGER AND THE BEAR
We copy from an English magazine the fol
%lowing alarrativo of en encounter with a tiger
in thejungles of India. • It is evidently written
by an officer of the. British army, and is both
affecting and interesting: . .
I had never before seen anything in the
shape of a tiger, and was struck dumb with
ast,nislancet. Not so my little Moor boy ; he
Virn'S the son of a femur shikaree, and I belieVe
he had never Boon a tiger any more than my
- self. He had often heard his father talk of
his exploits among the wild beasts of the forest;
he knew me to be a Graffiti, and his little heart
swelled with the proud consciousness of
superior skill in woodcraft, 'Suppose 'master
please,' said ho, drawing himself up, and as
- Punting au air of much importance, 'I show
sahib how to kill that tiger; I know - very well
barrel shilau; business.' In my simplicity, I
looked upon the daring little imp who talked
thus confidently of killing a panther, with a
degree of respect almost amounting to awe,
and without hesitating, put myself under his
guidance. According to his directions, I ex.
.'lrected the shot from toy gun, and loaded it
with some bullets which I happened to have
in niy pocket. Now then,' exclaimed, my
youtig shikarco, as het-placed nio behind the
shelter of a largo stone directly in front of tlio
cave,—' Now then, I shim sahib how to make
the tiger come. Sahib make a tiger eat plenty
balls; that proper . shikar business.' BO say
ing, he marched directly up to the entrance of
the cave, and began, to pelt the' tiger with
stones, abUsing him at the same time in choice
Ilindostanee slang. Sure .enough, this did
make the, tiger come with a 'vengeance. The
enraged brute, uttering a shrill roar, darted
froni the cave, seized the boy by the back of
his neck, throw him over his shoulder, and
dashed doWn the bill like a thunderbolt. My
blood curdled at the eight; but I instinctively
fired, and I suppoSo, hit the beast, for he, in
stantly dropped the boy, who rolled into a
dark ravine at the foot of the 11111. Tho pan
ther lut'ving . ,lisappeared in a neighboring jun
gle, I descended into the ravine, to look after
poor little Moder.' There he lay weltering
in blood, dreadfully mangled, and evidently in
a dying state, but still quite sensible. The
gallant, little fellow never uttered a complaint,
but fixing his large black eyes readily on my
.countenanoo, as if ho could there read his fate,
askann a faitt tone of voice . for some water.

flashed Wildly for a moment as he held up a
bloody knife, Which ho clutched firmly in his

bUt 'toy mother will cry very much, ant
her heart will turn to writer when she hears

the itcht tears began to trickle down his, cheeks. ,
For a few minutes ho remaiped motionless,
with his eyes closed, and the fig drops steal
ing slowly and silently through the long silken.
:eyelashes. Butdnuldenly starting up with his
eyes bursting from their sockets, and gasping
painfullifor breath, ho screamed as if in alit,
Of delirium— , The tiger has seized me. again
Save me, sahib, save me I' cried he in a hoarse
voice;'l feel his teeth in my throat; my
breathing is stopped ;' and lie gasped like a
person drowning—his eyes turned in hiS bead
till bottling but the white was visible—his jaws
became firmly locked—a cold t budder ran
through his limbs, and the gallant litter 'Elie
der' fell bilk in niy arms a stiffened corpse.
"I was young then, and unused to death,
and that scene has made an impression on my
mind which will never be obliterated. All this
time tie panther continued to pace up and
down the edge of the ravine, nearly on a level
with my head, giiowling fearfully, ever, and
anon poking his snout into the bushes, and
snufting.at me ae if debiting' withinhimself
whether or not he should jump down. Finally,
however, ho left me."
A.still more energetic display of •animal
vivacity has been given us by another tra-
yeller; . -
"A frightful Beene occurred lotelp at the
theatre at Czerney, in Bohemia, during 'the
performance of a mole drama, called tilt) Bear
of the. Monntaiu; theprincipfe performer in
which was a - Bruin ef.such..., l wonderful docility
and dramatic talent, - that Pot along succession
of nights.hd Attnioted overflowing audiences.
1)n this occasion, however, something had put;.
thiS , star' out of humor, and he' was observed
to be .wanting in these brflliantulisplays of the
histrionic- art Which Thad previously Overwhelm
ed him with. appladsol: In the third act, in
stead of coming 7 down the mountain by a widd
jog path, with the slow and solemn styp' .
prescribed in the prompter's book, he alighted
on the stags at ono bound, like the descent of .
an mrolitu. On his return behind the scenes
ho received reproofs, which, instead of irnpror
made his temper still more sullen ; and itf
was with difficulty he could be preinlled on to .
go through his part.
In the last scene he wag intluced to COfn
menet) a waltz with al oupg end beautiful pea=
sant girl, and seemed to take so Much etijoy.: •
mont in the dance, that the 'gamic audience
gradually rose front their seats. and standing
on the benches, drowned the sound of a power
ful orchestra with their acclamations of wonder
and delight. In , a moment, however, the joy
ous Spectacle was changed into a scene of ter
ror. A piercing shriek was heard through all
the tumult, and 'the lovely dancer was seen
whirled round with the Tepidity of a collie
rine-wheel, and discharged from her partner's
arms head foremost into the pit, where, how
ever, she was caught by the audience About

damage.
The next moment the stage lover of the
peasant girl, who had "been coquetting in n
dance in the distance, with a group of ballets,
advanced in the performance of his part to
waltz with tlio bear. The former catastrophe
had been so rapid, that, though his danger
was fully perceived by the audience, whose
cries wore loud to doter him, it was evidently
unperceived by , the unlucky lover. The bear
was instantly on the qui vivo, measured him
from top to toe, and flinging his legs around
itim,:.-began to waltz with suoh extraordinary
boumlings, that the astonished lover was scan
whirled off his fact, and in another moment
was seen
. hurled to the top of a stage preci
pice, and tossed into the surges below. The
astonishment now, however, was turned into
consternation ; the bear was seen dancing for- .
ward, evidently pleased with his own exploits ,
and with his muzzle broken, the mask hang
ing loose round his neck, and roaring fiercely.
The whole audience now started on their
feet, rolled over each other, and in the attempt
to escape choked up the doors of pit, boxes,
and gallery. The town police were now called
in, formed a circle, charged the boar with fixed
bayonets. Firing was out of the question, as
the bullets which missed the bear must take
effect upon the, audience . ; but the hero, though
left alone, exhibited at once the adroitness of
education, and the intrepidity of hie nature.
A part of his training had been the platoon
exercise, and suddenly knocking down a cor•
poral of the guard with ono paw, and seizing
his Musket With the other, he, throw his cross
belts over his back, and proceeded deliberate
ly to prime and load. The terror of the audi
ence was now extreme, and shriek's were heard
from every side, as he pointed the muzzle to
wards the crowded pit. '
The guard; 'which had regarded it as a ro r
markable effort of city valor to have approach
ed htm at all, now widened their mole in all
directions to,a respectful distance Min an an•
tagonist armed alike •Ivith_the ferocity . of
savage nature and the weapons of civilization.
But the boar, already lotte accustomed to mili
tary rnanceuires, and who had exhibited lately
at St. Petersburg]] the panfontime of the
Battle of Fultown, palpably took the fugitives
fOr. Swedish captive, and picked out. eaoh,ef
them from his hiding place by, a tender touch
atthcpoiat of, the bayonet. In all their fright
the audience roared with laughter; it was
evident that his pantomimical recollections
were still strong upon him, for he compelled
every manof Lis captives to kneel down Upon{
the stage, strip off hie accoutrements,

It is both useless and wrong to talk to a

its largest acceptation—useless, because she
knows them 'all, and if she does not, such ig

qualities are attended by a destroying devil;

I.—{V4LIAAI THE cONQUEROII
William, surnamed the • Conqueror of Eng
land, loved Matilda the beautiful daughter of
the Earl gf Flanders, a wealthy, potent, and
politic prindm As a statesnant 'he was desi
rous for a league with the father ; as a man
ho yearned for a union with' the daughter.
She was sought in marriage by the greatm t
sovereigns in Europe. William was a hand
some man, an able leginlator, nod a warrior of
renown. But his addresses were coldly re
ceived, Foryntildtirvas enamored of axoung
Anglo-Saxon noblerrian-4whe treated Ler as
she treated William I For, seven years did he
serve an apprenticeship to Cupid; at 'the ex,
piratioh of which, says Agnes' Strickland,;he,
in 1047, waylaid Matilda in the streets . ' of
Bruges as she .was returning from mans ;
seized her, rolled her in the dirt, spoiled her
rich array, and not c'Catent
. with . these out
rages, struck hor .reeentedly, and then rode
off' at full speed. This Teutonic method of
courtship brought the affair in .a crisisr for
Matilda, either convinced of the strength of
William's passion by the violence of his be
havior, or afraid of encountering a second
beating, consented to become his wife.' Iloiv
ho ever presumed to enter her presence again
after such a series of'eaormities the chronicler
saith not, and Strickland (beteg , a woman)
says she is at p. loee to ; irnagine.

' :Of the courtship of this illustrious philoso

although it is not to ho found in several lives
of him which I "haVe searched. It is 'well
known that he was often absent-minded; that,
,for example, he would sometimes also and eit
for sey . oral hours, by his bedside , undressed
and - absoAed hi thought,; that ho would often
forget to dine until reminded by his domestics
that in order to -Ilya it was accessary to oat.
;Once and only once ho lobed - a youngwomen
Outi orbiting they were' seated by the fireside
together lie sat silently smoking. She was
too proud 'of his love 'to be offended at his
conduct. At length l i t took his_pipe from
his "mouth and seized licaand. She e,zpected
he'was about to kiss it. Instead of doing er g
towever, ho stirred the tobacco in • the head
of his pipe "With her fore filter—a rather odd
'substitute for a pin! She was very angry
with him and their courtship ondod.

lII.—ELDON. A,
The father' of T‘ord EldNie Chancellor
of England, having resolved-- *marry, rang
his boll. A female, servant anstr‘ored it. Ho
told her to dross herself-in order to repair to
the altar with him. Sho thought that he was
jesting, and disobeyed: Ho rang again. A
second servant - appeared. - To - her - he - gave , the
same command. She attired herself and was
made a bride.
IV.-O'COZINELL
Dahiol O'Connell did not court at all. He
told his sweetheart that he loved her; asked
her if his love was reciprocated or if she was
engaged; and, if she was free, if she was
willing to make an 'engagement With him?
The young lady replied as frankly as be ques
tioned and. they were speedily united for bet
ter or for worse.

Of Dr. John Abernethy ono of the most
eminent'surgoons a nd medical writers of the
last century several anecdotes are recorded
Ho was extremely eccentric—or rather, was
extremely manly.• lie acted and spoke aiwayis
as nature dictated and not as custom ordained.
To a iich valetudinarian gentleman ho once
proscribed—" Live on a sixpence a day and
earn it," and to alddy of the same species
who offered him a fee he said : Madam;
keep your money and bity 'a .skipping rein."
Viien'ho land ho 4111 continued to despiie
the forms vittfr *ion society over seeks to
onetimber* . :the sayings and doings of men.
lie did net waste his time in courting, nor did
he prostrate himself, as' is usually the case,
before the relatives of his Eve. Ho met her
in the-knots, revealed his affections for hei,
and offered 'her his hand. She accepted it
and ho immediately gave her a purse with
orders to furnish a house.
, OP LEICESTER
The Rev. Robert Hall, when on a visit to a
brother clergyman went into the kitchen,
where a pious servant girl whom ho loved
was then working. Ile lighted hie pipe, sat
down and tsked her,
" Betty; do you love the Lord Jesus Christ?"
4' I hopel do; sir," was the reply.
Ile immediately added, .
Betty, do you love me?"
They wore married!

The Rev. John Brown, a worthy rresbyte
flan divine of the Old School, author of a
Dictionary .qf the Bible and other popular
theological works, after leaving " sparked ) "
for seven years, naked his love if she would
permit him to 'kiss bor. LTulike most young
ladies she did not object Before Ilartaking
of the luxury, ho said,
" Let us ask a blessing!" •
And it was Si Ito then kissed her. And
behold, it was very good!.
"Oh !" exclaimed the . enraptured saint,
"how savoury! will you give me another?
But let us return thanks."
Ho did so. Thus, I believo, for the first
thee in this world was offered up grim, be
fore and after " kissing.
Whether he gave her anther o buss" I em
unable to relate. If he did so, I hope he
found it a savoury one.

The Maine Liquor LaW was' adopted by a
popular vote in Michigan on the 20th. 'Where
uponlThe Detroit Tribune publishes the fol
lowing:
DJED.—On, the 20th instant, Pure C. Bran
dy, Esq., of dropsy. This event 'is not alto
gether unexpected, as the departed had been
afflicted with the disease which caused hie
death fora long time. Of late tho quantity
of water accumulating in his system was im
mense, and ho had been tapped by his physi
cians several times, but without effect. Ho
hatl,a large number of doctors, and some arc
mean enough to say that hastened his decease.
His loss wilt bo sensibly - felt by his many
friends who were accustomed to see him daily
in our atreets.
Also, on the imme clay, R. G. Brandy, ESq.,
familiarly known by the sobriquet of " Rot
Out," and brother of P. C., whose 'death we
chronicle above. He took a largo quantity of
poison (by mietako •it is supposed) several
years ago. No bad effects were realized at
firstibut for a few years past it has been spread
ing through his system, and has finally caused
his death. It is to be hoped that be death
will bon warning to those when- have boon in
tho habit of taking poison for a medicine.
Also, on the same day, H.-Gin, Esq. - The
deceased was a ineinlier'of the Brandy family,
and a relative by marriage. He was a native
of Holland, and fled to the United States
several years ago, in conpequence of having .
been actively engaged in ono of the revolutions
that characterize that country. He was pur
sued 'by the Police, but secreted himself in
cask end:landed. safely in New York. Since
then many Of his fatrilly have made their es
'eapo in the some manntir._ ITo left.a large
family or children, most of whom were born
in this country, but 'bq are sorry to say ore

Mr. W. was one of the first•settlers of Michi
gan. In early life he was an industrious,
hard-working man. He has done mush to
build up our railroads and public) works, and
could always found-in the harvest field ear
ly and late. Some few of our farmers thought
they could not harvest their wisest unless Mr. 4
W. was with them to cheer up their hands.,/
How they will manage to do so sinco his
death, we aro unable to say. It may lead to
disastrous results, and it is feared by some
that our farmers may cease to grow wheal.—
which would inevitably raise the price of
flour.
Of Leto years however, Mr. W. had grown
shiftless, - noisy and cuarrelsome, and any
neighborhood that ho visited was sure to be
the scene of disturbance of- every nature.—
Il? too frequent occurrence of stroot fights
got.up by Mr. W. was tho ultimate cause of
his- death. lie was, killed by e blow on the
head with a ,ballot box, in open daylight.—
The porpotrators of the deed are not fully
known, but suspicion rests upon two men.
whose names wo believe aro Mr. Law and Mr.
Order. Several men from the Free Press of
fice are on the watch, and ere this no doubt
they have apprehended them.
It is seldom that we hays to announce the
death of an entire family,' thus swept away at
Ono fell swoop. Theiwere all well known in
our State, and have acted in many pnblio ca
pacities; some ono of them has heen,a meta

their own friends to office and afterward in

- Twenty-years ago it took more- than eight
months to bleach a piece of cotton geodsLlknd
then see what a mess they made , of it I It had
to lie for four weeks in, limo Wetter,, eight in
buttermilk, and some four months in, various
other preparations ; it Was then mid upon the
grass, where it remained four weeks, at tho
expiration of_which time it,was taken up often
ruined or damaged. To bleach, 'at the free

ent day, is a matter of only twenty-four' hours
—a short subjection . to chlorine, answering all
the purposes of buttermilk and grass-plats.

A quarter of a century ago, the quantity of
material wasted in the arts was about equal to
that consumed. All these things are now turn

dropped into the mud and remained there, are
now Bought after, and converted into otifordi

morly east maids as rubbish ; they are now
mixed with parings of horses' hoofs, and the
castoff apparel of mendicants, and in stew
days return to the world in the form of a dyo
of tho most beautiful hue. '
