AN ITALIAN SONG. _
Dear in my little native vale, ‘
» 'l‘he ring dove builds and warbles there,
Close by my cot she tells her title '
c To every passing villager;
The squirrel leaps from tree totrec
And shells his nuts at liberty.
t
In orange grove and myrtlebowcts,
Thin breathe a gale of fragrance rountl,
To cbarmthc fairy-‘footed hours
Vfitli my.lov’d lutc’s romantic sound ;
, Or crowns of living laurel weave,
For those that win the race at eve.
'l_'he s‘nepherd’s horn at break of day,
, Tire ballet (lanc’d in twilight glade ;
Tire canzonet and roundel:~.y V ‘ '
Sungin the silent grecnwood shade ;
'E‘hes_e. simple joys that never fail,
. Shall bind me to my nmive.vule.

AN ENRAGED l?.LEl’I-IAt\'l‘.
An Italian paper gives the following account
of an Elephant, which, during the Carnival had
been an object of general admiration to the good
_people,ol' Venice :--—- '
As soon as the carnival was over, and Lent
begun, the-animal seemed to lose. mucli of its
accustomed docility, without. any pt‘e\i0tts cause.
Several persons, however, C'l'l(lCfl't=’0l'€(l to bring
him to the river side, in order to put him in a
boat to convey him away from Venice about a
fortnight ago, and a great crowd collected on the
banks to see him depart. The Elephant went
quietly enough within view of the river, but as
soon as they were about to embark him, he be-
came suddenly outrageous, broke his chains and
threw himself among the crowd. The specta-
tors were immediately all in alarm, and some of
them, to avoid the danger, rushed into the ves-
sels on the river. One ofthcse was oveI‘ttt!'ne(l,
but happily, none of the individuals in it were
drowned. The following night his keeper en.
tleavoretl to get him into a cage purposely made
to confine him during his voyage, and tvalking
l')ztcl—;rva.t‘tl, held out the animal a piece of l)t‘c':t(l ;
the Elephant followed the bait, but at length,
seeing that he did not come. up with it,’ he got
quite wild, attacked the keeper, threw him down
on the ground, and tt‘-.t:npl::d"on him so vi«..lcntly
that the unforttmate man expired 9. ft--.-.' hours af-
ter. The animal then broke into the streets,
‘and broke down every thing that opposed him.
He went into a coffee room, where be overturned
the tables, decanters, glasses, Ste. ; from thence
he went into a coblet-’s stall, which he pushed a-
bout the streets, together with its alarmed in-
habitants. At this time the city guard pursued
and fired their carbines upon him, but the balls
pasaed harmless over his tough hide, and served
onlyto increa.-‘e his phrenzy. Being still purstted,
he ran forward with great force, and blindly rush-
ed through a moveable shop, in which China
ware was sold. 'l3hc Owner, a te'~.t_v old woman,
was standing in at the moment, and the Elephant
passed mm-.~.gh with sruch force, th-.~.'. he made an
immediate passage large enough to admit half
his body ; but not being able to extticate him-
self from this situation, he ran ell‘, catryin*g away
shop, china, old woman, and all. until he-came
near the ch«urch Del Porno, where he was dis-
encnmhered of ltis_ burden, without material per-
goods, however, were all shaken out on the jour-
ney, coifee-pots were rolling ahout,»iu one place,
maimed of their pipes, jugs, 7I:z7ms, spouts and
handles. were to be found. lower down-——cups and
saucers and dishes and plates and basins, were
distributed in abundance in the streets, as mean-
imal came nearer to the church. Here he was
fired upon again, but to no purpose ; he became
str0ng.cz' with his augmented fury ; he burst o-
pen the gates of the church though they were
all barred with iron, and shut them again violent-
ly. He committed considc.-rable damage, until,
at length, his feet sunk into a vault——herc he re-
mained unable to move. but tlangerous still to be
approached. There being no other mode of
putting an end to him,_the guard made an apcr-
ture in the wall of*the sacred edifice, planted a
cannon, charged with case shot, at three paces
distance, and killed him on the spot.

had a very honorable excuse for being unable to

ing oil‘ a cannon. loaded to the muzzle with eve-,
ry kind of tniasile, when a shot carried away his
arm, and the match dropped ‘to _the ground : he
immediately seized it with his lefthand, and fired
the piece, at the very point and at the very in-
stant the enemywere entering the fort, which
swept down-. a whole phalanx . of the foe. For
this heroic action he was honored with a commis-
sion ;., but in his old age he could not write his
