Carter, the rival of Van Ambu f g. was acting at
Colors on the 3d instant, in the “ Li.in; of the D> -
sert.” Carter was lying on the >tage in a feigned
sleep, when the redoubtable young tiljer was, as
- usual, let in. He closed with a springj and a tre
mendous cot.fl.ct u d, but tins'nr-ei instead of a
simnlaled, it bee; ne a redone, in two minutes
the stage was flowing with hi. .d, and terrific
founds were uttered by both the naan ijnd the ani
mal, w tin h were re echoed by erics oh terror Irura
the audience. Carter was in fact seized by ihe
throat, and dreadfully torn. Fora lojig time Ihe
tiger appeared to bo beaten off, but returning to the
attack, made another ancmpi to g.ipe his adversary
by the shoulder, and in a I probability would have
devoured him, bad not Carter with r-innrable cour
age, conlnvr d to drag Itinisclf to the side scene and
reach a hammer which laid there, and with which
he beat iheligcr til helavi-enselessat his feet. Mr
farter, who places great value upon the tiger, has
hopes that he may be recovered. wounds,
particular those in ihe throat, are very severe, but
are not considered to be dangerous.
Morn.
BY MRS. J. L. GRAY, EASTON, PA.
Morn is the lime to wake —
The eyelids to unclose—
Spring from the arms of sleep, and break
The fetters of repose ; >
Walk at the dewy dawn abroad, *
And hold sweet fellowship with God.
Morn is the time to pray—
How lovely and how meet.
To send our earliest thoughts avi ay
Up to the mercy seat I
Ambassadors for us, to claim ;
A blessing in our Master’s namb.
Morn it the time to sing—
How charming ’tis to hear
The mingling notes of nature ring
In the delighted ear ;
And with that swelling anthem ruse
The soul’s fresh matin song of praise !
Morn is Ihe time to sow
The seeds of heavenly truth.
While balmy breezes softly blow
Upon the soil of youth I
And look to Ihce, nor look in vaifl.
Our God, for sunshine and for rails.
Morn is the time to love —
As tendrils of the vine
The young affections fondly rove,
And seek them where to twine ;
Around thyself, in thine embrace.
Lord, let them lind their resting; place.
Morn is the lime to shine,
When skies are clear and blue-'—
Reflect the rays of light divine, >
* As morning dew-drops do; |
Like early stars, be early bright, ‘
And melt away like them in hghr.
Morn is the time to weep
O’er evening hours missporit- 1 -
Alas ! how oft from peaceful sice »,
On folly madly bent,
"We’ve left the strait and narrow load,
And wander’d fiom our guardian |3od.
Morn is the timo to think,
While thoughts arc fresh and s flee,
Os life, just balanced on the brinl
Os dark eternity .' j
Ana ask our souls if they are mej-t
To stand before the judgment scay ?
Morn is the time to die, j
Just at the dawn of day
When stars arc fading in the sky*
To fade like them away — ;
But lost in light more brilliant far
Thau ever merged the evening star.
Morn is the time to rise, \
The resurrection morn— i ;
Upspringing to the glorious skieu^
On new-found pinions borne,! [
To meet a Saviour’s smile divine,—
such ecstatic rising mine ! *

JAYNE’S HAIR TONIC.
WE have heretofore numbered ourselves a- 1
mong those who believed that “Jayne’s
Hair Tonic” was one of the many quack nostrums
whose virtues are never seen beyond the firlsome
puffs of their authors. W'e are willing, at length,
to make public acknowledgment of the error of our i
belief. An intimate friend, some two or three
months since, all the top of whose cranium was as
bald as a piece of polished marble .maugre all our
jesting and ridicule of the idea o j attempting to
cultivate so barren a spot, purchased a bottle or
two of the Hair Tonic from Dr. Jayne, and accord
ing to his directions applied it. During the present
week the same friend ushered himself into our
presence, and uncovering his hitherto naked head,
astonished us with a thin, though luxuriant growth
of hair, from one to two inches in length—upon
the very premises we had believed as unyielding to
cultivation as the trackless sand that skirts the At
lantic. This is no puff, but is religiously true ; and
to those who doubt, the gentle nan can be pointed
out. What is more in favor of this “Tonic,” the
case here cited was not one of temporary baldness
—no sudden loss of the hair—but was one of years’ i
standing, though the gentleman is but forty-five
years of ag e.—Philadelphia Spirit of the times

tion and restoration of the Hair, can be had of

PEDIGREE.
J U. 11. Acklin, Ksq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and tier dam a full-blooded Archie inure;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Parole*. Tom
Tunstall was sired by o’d Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States.—
lie was a race horse of the first order, but 1 lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg ; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Maiy
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any mate ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolct, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’K el ley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last centuiy;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangier; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s olti Twigg; great-great
greal-great-gvand-dain by imported Fearnaught;
great-great-graat-great-great-grand-darn by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mon
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
