The counties* wonders of hia power to scan.
Can man while casing on ten thousand spheres
That Walk their orbit through unnunibered yearn,
Ne’er wonder why the hand that placed them

And guide their progress with parental care ?
1V.M breath of life bestowed to man in vain,
With God'a own Image, and reflecting brain?
Was it not sent that he might welf discern,
8ueh boundless love—that mortis some return.
And to admire the greatness of that plan,
That made world* perfect for the pood of man ?

Kor daily lilesningi In? to" lour* on you.
Strain not that treasure, hut to Thee alone.
To guide thy footsteps to thy Maker's Throne,
In building walls to turn the heart aside
From love’s full cup, that never was denied
To those who seek its liquid, bright and dear.
With true humility and iltait sincere.
Is not the eye, that faithful nerve of sight,
IVsigned to feed it with it’s streams of light,
Hut hot to gaze upon that dazzling ray,
Whose glowing splendor marks each hour of day?
So too, the mind when it is strained too far,
I ley olid creation of the first-made star,
Grasps at a phantom, it ean ne'er attain,
And|loose it’* Balance or Irrome insane;

One of the most remarkable in
stances of sagacity and animal rea
soning—for it is more than instinct
—that wc have ever heard of, took
place yesterday afternoon at the
residence of Whitfield Crawford,
southeast corner of Seventh and
Madison streets, in this city. The
principal actors in the case were a
large dog belonging to Mr. Craw
ford, of the St. Bernardino and
Newfoundland breed, about two
years old, who readily answers to
‘the name of Carlo, and an ordinary
domestic house cat named 'Dick.'

he found existed in Dick’s neck.
After an apparent consultation

We talked of hills, mountains,
valleys and cataracts (I believe I
said water-falls), when the boy
spoke up and said :
’ Why, sister’s got a trunk full
of them up-stairs ; pa says they
are made of horse-hair.’
The revelation struck terror in
to me, and blushes into the checks
of my fair companion.
It began to l»e very apparent to
me, that I must be very guarded
in what I said, lest the boy might
slip in his remarks at uncallcd-for
places ; in fact, I turned my con

ought to go home with me and
see what nice chickens wc had in
the country. Unluckily, I men

owned. The little one looked up
