Spring is coming—Spring
is coming:
With her sunshine mid her shower:
Heaven is ringing with the singing
Of the birds in iffake untl bower;
Buds are filling, leaves nrc swelling.
Flowers on field andTfjbiom diiTreo;
O'er tho earth, and sea and ocean,
Nature holds her jnbilee.
Soft then stealing, comes a feeling
O’er my bosom tenderly;
Sweetly I ponder as l wonder.
For my niusiugs arc of thee.

Spring is coming—Spring is coming!
With her mornings fresh and light:
With her moons of chequered glory,
Sky of blue and clouds of white.
Calm grey nightfall, when the light falls

While the splendor pale and tender.

Spring is full of joy for me,
For I ponder as I wonder,
“Ah we rose above the metropolis,and

distinctness my companion, whose bear

symptoms of great uneasiness. As we
were passing over Hanwell, dimly seen
among the extended suburbs of the great
city, his anxiety seemed to inc^eas^ in
an extraordinary degree. Pointing,
with trembling finger, in that immediate
direction, he said— * -
“Can they see us from there ? can they
reach us in any way! can they telegraph
us? can they, 1 say!”
“Surprised at the excitement. a#i at
the abrupt alaim of one who had been
so remarkahy cool and self-pcssessed at
starting, I replied—
“Certainly not. my dear sir; we are
half a mile from the earth, at least.”
“Ah, ah ! theii I am safe ! They can
not calch me now. I escaped ft om them
only this morning.”
YVitn a vague sense of some impend
ing evil, I asked—

An amusing matrimonial story is told
of the olden time in New England. It

young woman’s father was a wealthy
Quaker—the young man was poor hut

and the daughter dare not disobey
that is to say, she dare not disobey open

she pretended never to see hitri—and she
pined and wasted in spile of herself.
She was really in love—a state of ‘sighs
and tears,’ which women oftener reach
in imagination than reality. Still the
father lemained inexorable. Time
passed on. and the rose, nn Marv’s

Madman.
Mr.Green,the great London aeronaut
who has ascended some hundred and fif
ty times from Vauxhall Gadens, London;
who has taken his air joruneys at all
times of the day and night; who has sail
ed over a continent with passengers in
his frail hark, when it was so dark that,
according to the testimony of one of his
fellow voyagers, it seemed as ihough the
balloon was making its noiseless wav
through amass of impenetrable black
marble, this same Mr. Green, to come
back from our long sentence, once gave
out, by handbills and the public prints,
that on a certain afternoon in July, he'
would ascend from Vauxhall Gardens at
4 o’clock, with a distinguished lady and
gentleman, who had volunteered to ac
company him on that occasion.
The day and the hour a' length arriv
ed. The spacious enclosures of the Gar
den were crowded with an excited mul
titude, awaiting with the utmost impa
tience for the tossing, rolling globe to
mount up and be lost in the blue crea
tion that spread out far above the giant
cily, pavillioned by its cloud of smoke.
But the hour passed by, and the “distin
guished lady and gentleman” came not.
, 8 8,1 ’oax!” exclaimed hundreds,
simultaneously, among the crowd.
“T here isn’t no sich persons.”
Mr. Green assured them of his good
faith; read the letier he had received
from “the parties,” and his answer; hut
still the “madness of the people” increas
ed, and -till the “distinguished lady and
gentlemen” came not. Matters were
growing more and more serious, and a
“row” seemed inevitable.
At this crisis of affairs, a solemn visag-
cd man, drUssed in black, with a white
neckcloth, stepped forth from the dense
crowd to the edge ofthe boundary which
enclosed the bnllooii, and beckoning to
Mr. Green, saiJ, in a very modest
ner and in a low tone—

♦It’ s two hundred thousand miles now

So saying, he took off his coat and
threw it over, next his waistcoat, and was
fumbling at his pantaloons, evidently for
a similar purpose ; but a new thought
seemed to strike him.
“ Two are 100 many for this balloon,”
he said. “She’s going too slow ! We
sha!l not reach the moon before morning,
at this rate. Get out of this /”
I was wholly unnerved. I could have
calmed the fears or reasoned down the

tones strangely piercing, in the hush of
the upper air; and thereupon I felt my
self seized by a grasp, so often superhu
manly powerful in madmen, and found
myself poised over the side ofthe tilting

Fatal Encounter with a bear.
A correspondent at Trindad, Califor-
ron 1 '- nia, Jan. 23d, gives the following ac
count of an encounter with a bear, at
Durkee’s Ferry;
“While the writer was awaUing the
opening of the trail at the former place,
a young man named Frank ——, a 11a'-
tive of Maine, who was employed bv
Mr. R. Walker of Durkee’s Fe rry, in
hutiiing, was attacked by a grizzly hear,
about three miles from the house, on the
Union trail. He attempted to climb n

winch he had caught to assist him in
climbing, gave way, and he fell to the
ground, and waa instantly seized by the,

£ot ho.d of the unfortunate man’s rifle
and discharged u at the bear’ahead; then
olubbmg he beat the animal with it
until he had broker, it to pieces. After
the nfle was broken, the Indiau gave in
formation at the Feny. but as it was
late, the persons there refused to go out
that night. On the following, morning
they brought the poor fellow home, and
procured the assistance of Dr. Whet-
more. of Orleans Bar, who dressed bis
numerous wounds; but it was of no avail.
Death released brm from his sufferies on
the third day. He was horribly torn ;
one wrist was nearly bitten off. It seems
habit must be excluded, or misery,
shame and disgrace are inevitable. We
caution in the fear of God—nay, we feel
no hesitancy in warning young women,
whether rich or poor, educated or un
educated, never to accept for a husband
any man who drinks ardent spirits how
ever moderately. And we warn all men
addicted to the vile habit of driuking to
excess, or even moderation, that in pro
posing marriage to a lady properly in
formed he insults her. The promise of
such a man to love, protect, cherish and
keep in sickness, and in health, is a sol
emn mockery, it is fraud of the meanest
kind, pracliced upon an unsuspecting
female. May heaven save-, the rising

also protuded from a wound inflicted by
Bites of Mad Dogs.
An English journal says that an old
Saxon has been using for fifty years, and
with perfect success, a remedy for the
bite of mad dogs, by the agency of which
“ he has rescued many fellow-beings and
cattle from the fearful death of bpdro-
phobia.” The remedy is to wash the
wound with warm vinegar or tepid wa
ter, dry it, and then apply a few drops
ol muriatic acid, which will destroy the
poison of the saliva, or neutralize it,
and the cure is effected.
We should be glad to be able to say
that we have any faith in this remedy,
which we cannot. It does not meet the
difficulty, which is, that the virus is fas
tened upon the system by *l>sorption
before any remedy can l»e applied, ami
hence the inefficiency of all remedies.—
If the poisonous saliva was so slow in
gertina into the system as to admit of
detersive and other remedies being ap
plied, then there would be no danger,
and then vinegar or water, warm or
cold or any thing that woulddense,
would answerthe purpose with or with-
out the acids. It is the rapidity with
which the poison is absorbed, as in the
case of bites from venomous reptiles,
that makes the danger.
\\ e notice some time ago, a new the
ory that has been started in England,
respecting hydrophobia, which is, that
that disease is never the consequence
of the. bite of rabid animal-, the exis
tence of whose madness so as to be com
municable l)y a bite is questioned. Not

Realities in Califoria—Stay at
home.
A correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal, writing from San Francisco, (in
January,) says:
“ California is a great country, and
there are a great many people here;
but it is a lamentable fact that all the
men of California do not make $2 per
day on an average. It is the shameful
“correspondent” which goes from the
States that cause thousands to leave a
civilized land, a happy home, wife, chil
dren, parents, brothers, sisters, and all
the endearments of social life, to come
here, be disappointed, get disheartened,
sick, and finally die and be hurried by
the hands oi strangers, with no mark to
designate their final resting. Those
who are now here, or most of them,
would go home if they could, hut have
not the means. Others have the means
of going home, but they do not wish to
return worse oft” than when they left
home. Some have made a handsome
little “pile,” but it is not quite large
enough'. Some dare not go hack, and a
few would not return any how. My ad
vice always has been in all my commu
nications for journals in the States, for
those who had a pillow to lay their heads
on, to stay there, and I now say they
had better stay, pillow or no pillow.”

SP* A few days since, a gentleman in
the vicinity of Boston, observed that the
tassel to tho shade of his chamber win
dow was badly burned, and in a manner
which gave r.o indication of the cause.
He tailed in hi* inquiries, and no person
in the house could give him any informa
tion. A morning or two after, the do
mestic, who was attending to the room,
ran down in haste, exclaiming that the
chamber window was011 fire. A exam
ination explained ihe mystery. In tront
of the window, which looked easterly,
stood a shaving gl&ss affixed to a mova

hack reflected the Wysof the sun. bring
ing it to a focus on the window, and
whenever they struck on the wood they
burned, into it, charting the frame in
many places. A piece of paper plaeed
against the window was set on fire, and
indeed, the heat, was so intense that it
burned whatever it touched. When
first discovered, the frame of the window
was blazing. Had thefire extended, it is
not probable that the origin of it, would
have been discovered, and, it would have
been placed among those incomprehen
sible causes which can find no other so

that the man heat his wife, which lio
stoutly denied, declaring meanwhile
that she had whipped him. To satisfy

the debts of his wife, he would exact
the double fine of him, as a matter pf

Diogenes and (lie Slave.
Diogenes passed through tne streets
of Athens at noon, with a lantern in his
hand, in search of a man.
Passing before tne temple of Chari
ty, he saw at the gale a priest,and cried
out to him : “Sir. for pity’s sake, grant
me some alms, if it was only an obolus,
to relieve my poverty.”
“ Let my benediction suffice the, my
son. said the priest, anc^ he entered
the temple of Charity.
The philosopher arrived in front of j
tbo shop, filled with garlands, fans and I
vases of pamade—a pretty woman was
making purchases.
“You spend for your pleasure, madam;
will you not have pity 011 a wretch tor
mented by hunger ?”
“ In truth, I pity you,” said the lady;
“take this my young friend, and buy
a barley loaf.” So saying, she threw him
a farthing and then paid gaily twelve
pieces of silver to the merchaut for a
collar for her dog.
The cinic departed scratching his ear.
The prince of S datuine was passing iu
a magnificent chariot. Diogeues ran
and seized hold of the gilt door. “Stop,
son of the gods, listen to me.”
“ Begone,” said the Prince, “or you.
will fare ihe worse for it.” A slave pull
ed him from the door, and . at the same
time threw two farthings into his hat.
“ O gods," cried the sage, “1 have a:>

themselves to all soils of weather, in
thin dresses, thin slippers,.thin bonnets,
and yet not seem to feel it. They can
endttro ^innumerable hardships vvhich
would lay us men flat on our hacks, and
yet they will still keep up and enjoy
themselves. And they can do all this,
despite of false education, tight lacing,
indoor occupation and sedentary habits.
How is it that woman can stand so much
more than man ? It is easily answered:
She dissipates less. Hero is a solution
to the whole mystery. Let her dissipate
as much as man does in addition U»
what she already undergoes, and in a lit
