Hold I Pledge me not in such a draught as this For well I know within the goblet lies The deadly bane of every earthly bits?; The fiend that tears apart all human ties; The demon that feeds all the fires of lust, And robs the eye and cheek of light and bloom; The power that bows all nauhood to the dust, And fills with ruined hopes the tomb. Ah ! I have marked this subtle, sun ny tide. That sparkles now so temptingly ana bright, Engulf health, beauty purity and pride, And plunge the wretched soul in darkest night!

Among the various sketches-, read before the Georgia Historical Society by Captain W. W. Ptine, and re ported by the Savannah New#, was the following which created great a musement in the audience : 4 'Morgan Gillis Was a hunter of some renown, and a hold and power* fnl man. One day hunting in the piney woods he killed a fine buck, and while engaged in skinning it he discovered several Indians creeping toward* him. There was no time te deliberate or to tarry. Springing to his feet and leaving rifle and venison behind, he ran for life, and reached the swamp, where be noticed a large poplar, which Lad been broken off near its top and had the appearanoe of being hollow. A knarled or k nag ged hicory which rested against this enabled him to easily climb tha tree, When, to his great jey, Jkt found it hollow, with an opening in the top sufficient for him to enter. He enter ed and sliding to the bottom, found it tenanted by two fat cubs, and at once discovered that he was in the den of a bear which fortunately for him was absent from heme. About three feet from the bottom of the dan was a small knot-hole from whieh Gilis saw the Indians approaching and who seemed .much puttied at not finding him. After hunting around the Indiana disappeared supposing that Gilis had eaoaped to the rirar. Waiting some time and the Indians not re-appearing, Gilis thought it time to leave his hidiw-plaee and at tempting to do so found to his dismay that he could not do so and that he win entombed in the wooden walls of a tree. “ Our friend was not the first man Mr the last who has gotten easily in- ] to a scraps and fouua it difficult to (Kflttgenj (Courier. get out. ,l Gillie could not perish with hun ger for some days, for he coutd cat the cnbs: but he might persih for water. Having his large hunting knife with him he cotnmenoed trying to cut his way out of the hoi ow, and while thus engaged he heard as he supposed someone climbing on the outside of the tree- lie thought of the Indians and gave himself up for lost. Soon the apature at the top of the tree was darkened and an object cmmenced to descend, and horror of horrors it was the old bear. Bears always descend a tree backwards —and as Airs. Bruin neared the bottom, Gillis in terror commenced using his knife vigorously upon her, and she not expecting such a warm reception in her quarters, hastily ascended and Gillis taking advantage of her diseorn fiture and hasty retreat, seized hold of her shaggy hair and was drawn to the tip. lie escaped and reached home in safety, a wiser if not a bet ter man.” ‘•Hi ! where dil you eet them trousers ?’ a-ked an Irishman of a man who happened to he passing with a pair of remarkably short trousers on’ ‘l got them where they grew,’ was the indignant re ply. ‘Then, be me consciene ,’ said Pat, ‘you’ve pulled them a year too soon.’ The Emperor Napoleon said Whoever possesses Cors'atilinople ean govern the work;.* He forgo t out America. ■ ■■♦♦to ■ - ■ - John B- Gough is aid to be liv 1 ing on the interest of his nicety, instead of the interest created in the bosom* of his audk-uees.
