Come, rouse thee! God was never served
By sleeping or by sighing.
’Tvvere better e’en the coarser swerved
Than idly stretched as dying,
A gallant task demands thy years:
Thou seem’st as wholly given
To wear away thy life by fears!
* ’ Well-droppings rocks have riven.
O cheer thee! cast aside for aye
These hypochondriac fancies.
If cheat ourselves we must and may,
Be’t not with Dutch romances.
No, rather let a fairy swarm
Ol phantasies up-buoy us;
Too much of hope can scarce do harm,
And action should bo joyous.

LINES TO MART.
BY CHARLES SWlIft.
The graceful and the heantiful.
The gentle, kind, and airy.
Together met to mould the form
And gilt the mind of Mary.
There’s nature in each careless curl.
In every grace a moral ; [girl,
Her mouth—’tis Cupid’s mouth—sweet
And full of pearls and coral.
She’s like the keystone to an arch.
That consummates all beauty;
She’s like the music to a march,
" bicli sheds a joy-on duty !
All happy thoughts and feeling rife
Seem evermore to guide her;
The very ills and cares of life
For lhemsel.es beside her.
Each sweet expressive glance appears
Of Nature's best selection ;
It took the world six thousand years
To perfect such perfection !
All gifts divine that could combine,
All charms of nymph or fairy,
Agreed to grace one beauteous face.
And witch the world with Mary.
She speeds as if with wings so fleet
No bird’s could e’er surpass them ;
Yet none can ever spy her feet,
Though ’tis believed she has them !
She lends a spell to every scene.
Her step inak* s winter vernal ;
A something half divine, I • ween
The earthly and eternal !
r sweetest bonnet I ever saw.

The following interesting account of
these curions “fossils” we find in the
Newark Adrertiter
There died at Paris in the year 1799,
(says she author of the charming work.
“(Salad for the Social,”) literallv of
want, the well known hanker, (JLter-
vnld. A few days prior to his death he
resisted the importunities of his atten
dant to purchase some meat for the pur
pose of making a little soup for him-
“ 1'ruc, I should like the soup,” he said,
“but I have no appetite for the meat;
what is to become of that ? it will be a sad
waste.” This poor wretch died worth
125,000 sterling. Another desperate
case was that of Ehves, whose diet aud
dress were alike of the most revolting
ki;nd, and whose property was estimated
at .£800,000. Dauiel

That Wonderful little dog Nip.
. - s' New Haven, Sept. 29th.
FriexO Spirit : I have long been a
reader, but rarely a contributor to your
most excellent and far-famed paper,' but
when I returned from along trip among
the Cbategneay woods, and fouud on
my table a haudsome paper, bearing the
title of “ Porter's Spirit of the Times,
I resolved to sit down aud wish you
good luck. “ May you live a thousand
years,and your shadow never grow less.”
Speaking of the Cbategneay. remind
me of a story told by an old hunter near
there, whose name is Cromer. Now,
albeit the days of archery arc passed,
Cromer does shoot a marvellouslyj long
bow sometimes. Jake and myself, while
exploring, reached his houseone evening,
aud as the old man pressed us urgently,
consented to stay over night. After"a
r 'oht glorious supper of troutand venison,
Cromer produced a large flask, from the
contents ot which, aided by sundry
lemons, aud cool spring water for want
of ice, he proceeded to combine a peculi
arly fragrant compound, which looked
like punch, tasted like punch, and was
pntielt By the aid of this, and a dozen
cheroots, and the old man’s stories of
hunting scrapes, the evening passed
quickly? and we might have been there
still, had not the last story thrown Jake
into such convulsions of laughter, that
we icarcd his life might be endangered ;
for there is not enough blood in Jake’s
whole body for a respectable frog, and
had he hurst a blood-vessel, every drop
would have inevitably run out.
But tc, our story. It was concerning
a dog of his, of most remarkable swift
ness. Hut I bad better let him tel! the
story in his own wity. 14 Now von soo,**
said lie, *. 4 my little dog Nip was a fast
dog—avery fast dog; lie was a leetle
yallcr bob-tail cuss, but lie could run.
W all, ih'i one day I Was imt, an’ he’
smelt a fox, aud sniffled round the brush
for a wh.le, when, by-an’-bye, the fox
jumped up an’ run like fire, and the dog
put artcr him. I chased, nnd hadn’t
gone but about a mile, when I saw some
blood on a little sapling, and about ten
rods further on, there lay the dog in two
pieces, kicking, fit to kill. He’d run
agin the sapling, an’split in two; lie
So thinks I,
what’ll I do now ?—no dog—can’t hunt.
But, jest then, I thought praps he'd stick
together. So picked on hint up a’:’ stuck
him tergether, ami I be gosh-tlurned it
he didn't stick tight, and there he was
as good as ever. So 1 sot him down on
the ground ter sec cf lie eonld run, and
what d’yer think ? Dat/g it, tf I hadn’t
stuck two leg* up an' two doten. I picked
him up an’ tried ter pull him apart, but
was no-go—the dod-rotted thing bad
stuck so r.igkt, 1 couldn’t sec the scar.
So I throw him on the._griij|u<W aud lay
down, feelin* mighty bad, for, he was a
good dog; when, wliat d’yer think, the
dug begun to run around, and I ‘found it
was all the better, for when he got tired
of running on Mo legs, he could turn over
an' run on '(other two." If you laugh as
I did, you won’t want any dinner to-day.
But I must shy, bye-bye. Iu haste.

A gentleman whose name we did not
loam, says the tfan Francisco Gulden
Eagle, arrived iu this city’ from Bird’s
HiU, for the purpose of procuring sur-
ical advice-in relation to the possibility
of removing from the stomach a large
snake, which has inhabited that locality
for the past fifteen years. Exactly at
which time the reptile was taken into
the stomach, the sufferer is not aware.—
He felt its presence iu the yiciuity of
the kidneys many years ago; but the
pains experienced, nlthoTgh sometimes
aente and troublesome, occasioned no
alarm until about two years since, when,
oiie day feeling quite unwell, he placed
his hand upon his bowels, and distinctly
felt the snake crawling within him.—
Since then it has grown enormously
and has attained a length.of at least fif-
te«n inches, and. a ^ze round the middle
of fire or six inches. Its proportions
pan be pretty, accurately ascertained, as
its entire sliap? is fearfully obvious to

At Vienna twelve officers of the Aus
trian general staff expressed their wil
lingness to join tho expedition, from
which number three were selected, who
together with the ininera.ogist, Mayer,
recently in the service of the Itutcli
Government in Borneo, make up the
complement of Germans in the expedi
tious. The whole force will comprise
twelve Europeans, besides the leader,
and three hundred soldiers furnished by
the Egyptian Government. Among
thcsij latter, who are principally natives
of the interim of Africa, there are sup
posed to be a snfficiency of interpreters.
For ihe navigation af the Nile, the expe
dition has thirty harks and two small
steamers, and a crew of one hundred
incu, besides tlie necessary men and
means to continue the journey by land
beyond the bead, of navigation. Never
before was a scientific expedition fitted
out In like manner. Tlie expedition
will leave Europe on tlie 10th of Sep
tember, Count d’Escayrac, with the
Germans, embarking at Trieste, and the
French expeditions at Marseilles. The
entire party will meet at Alexandria,
and expect to reach Chartoum, by De

time to complete tlie organization.
Truly a Hard Case.
Obe Stephens, formerly the eccentric
representative in the Assembly from
Steubeu, who now keeps a hotel in Horn-
ersville, tells a very good story at the
expense of our Fremont friends. Not
long since -a very good looking young
woman stopped ait Obe’s house and called
for a room saying that her husband would
call shortly, when she wished him to be
shown up. Soon after, a burly, dandifi
ed “■•eolnrcd ptissun” called and Inquired
for his wife. Obe told him she could
not have stopped there, as there, was only
one female guest in the house, and she
was a very fine looking white lady.
• Dat’s her—dat’s her,’ said the sable
dandy.
Obe thought there must be some
mistake, so ho went to the lady’s room
and informed her that <a ‘ cussed nigger*
was down below who claimed to be°her
husband. She quietly informed him
that the ‘ colored gemm’n’ was in reality
her husband, and that she wished him
sent up to her room.
‘ The d—1! exclaimed Oho, with as
tonishment; is it possible that as good
looking a woman as you would marry a
nigger V
Sihc assured him it was a fact, and
added : “I married much better* than
my sister did after all!’
‘Yo t did!’ responded Obe ; ‘who in
thunder did she marry V
‘Why,’ replied the lady, with great
disgust, ‘she is married to a Fremont
man "

Carious Dwarf Deer.
The Baltimore “American” says—
“ We yesterday saw two of these ani
mal,, mother and yonng,' -that were
brought from the island of Java, on board
the United States frigate Macedonian,
and are probably tlie only ones ever seen
in tbe United States. "When full-grown
tliey are abont the size of the ordinary
rabbit of our forests, and shaped like the
American deer. The limbs are very
delicate, and the hoof, .which is cloven,
is almost transparent. In color they are
reddish brown, with white breast and
stomach. From the nose, and extending
back to the ears, is a tan-colored stripe
on each side, and nuder The lower jaw a
white, forming a trident. They feed
like cattle, and chew tlie cud, like that
species of the animal creation. They
are easily domesticated. The eye
large anil projecting, but the ears are
short and oblong. They are said to lie
very swift, and their appearance would
indicate it, as they are formed precisely
like the red deer of this country.”
Oh,
I Never Gossip.
no, I never gossip! I have
enough to do to take care of niv busi
ness without talking about tLe affairs of
others, Mrs. Smith. Why, thcr< ’« Mrs.
Crocker, she deals in scandal by tbe
wholesale; it does seem to me as though
that woman’s tongue must Pc almost
worn out; but no, there's no danger of
that. If everybody was like me there
wouldn’t he much trouble in the world.
Oli, no, I never gossip. But did yon
know that Miss Elliott had got a new
silk dress, Mrs. Smith ? You didn’t!
well she has ; its a real brocade ; I say
it myself. I do sdy its shameful for
her to he so extravagant ; I mean to
give her a piece of my mind, Mrs. Smith.
You believe her uncle gave it to her;
Well, I don’t care if he did; why, its
only two months since her father failo.d,
and now, to see her dash out in this '
syle, its a burning shame. I suppose
she thinks she’s going to catch a young
lawyer Stanhope, hut I guess she’ll fiisd
herself mistaken; he’s got more sense
than to be caught by her, if she has got
a brocade silk dress.
_ And there's the upstart dressmaker,
Kate Manley, setting her cap for the
doctor’s son ; the impertinence of some
people is perfectly astonishing.
I don’t think she’s any better than she
onght to be ; for my own part, I merer
did like her, .with her mild, soft look,
when any one's around ; my word for
it, she can look cross enough when
there ain’t; then she says she’s only
seventeen ! Goodness knows she’s as
old as my Arabella Lucrctia, aud
she’s—well, I won’t say how old, but
she’s more'n seventeen, and I ain’t
ashamed to say so, either; bnt I guess
Dr May’s son will have more discre
tion than to think of marrying her.
Some folks call herhandsomc ! Well,
I don’t. She ain’t half so good looking
as my daughter Jane. Then the way
s’le does up her hair in such fly away
curls; and if you believe it; Mrs. Smith,
she actually had tlie impudence to tell
me that she couldn't make her hair
straight as my Mary Jane's. Imperti
nence ! if she’d let curling papers ami
curling irons alone, I’d risk but what
her hair would be as' straight as any
body’s.
But wliat do you tliiuk of the Minis
ter’s wife, Mrs. Smith? You like her.
Well, all I can say is, you’ve got a vo-
ty peculiar taste. Why she’s proud as
Lucifer; been married a whole week,
and havn’t been to see me yet. You
presume she hasn’t had time ? I don’t
see what tlie Minister wanted to go out
of town to get- him a wife for, any way ;
and then, above all things, to get that
I tile girlish-looking thing. Why didn’t
he take one of his parishoners ? There’s
my Arabella Lucrctia would have made
him a better wife than lie’s got now.
Then she’s just about the right age for
him. She’s two years older than the
minister ! I should think it was a pity
if I did l’t know my own daughter's age,
3Irs. Smith! If some folks would mind
their own business as I do, I’d thank
them.— JVarerly Magazine.
