POETRY.
Never Ilolil Malice.
- , BY ELIZA coox.
Ob! never “ hold maliceg” it poisons our life,
VVith the gall, drop of hate and the night shade
of strife;
Let us scorn what we must, and despise what
we may, ,
But letanger, like sunlight, go down with the
day‘.
Our spirits, in clashing, may bear the hot
spark, '
But no mouldering flame to break out in the
dark ;
’T is the narrowest heart that creation can
make,
In which passion folds up like the coils of a
snake.
Oh! never “hold malice; ” it cannot be good,
For ’t is nobler to strikeiu the rush of hot blood,
Tlian to bitterly cherish the name of the foe,
\Vait to sharpen the_weapon and measure the
blow.
The wild dog in liunger—-the wolf in its
-spring—
The shark of the wateis--the asp with its
stin,<z—
Are less to be feared than the veiigeance of man,
\Vlicn it lieth in secret, to wound, if it can.
Oh! never " hold malice”; dislike, if you will,
Yet remember, humanity linketli us still;
\Ve are all of us human. and all of us erring,
And mercy within us should ever be stirring.
Shall we dare to look up to the Father above,
\Vith petitions for‘pardon or pleading for love?
Shall we dare, while we pant: for revenge on
aiiother,
To ask from a God, yet deny to a brother?
MISGELLANY.
From the Albany I{Ii.i'cker'/caelcer.
A Bad ‘Vite and a Heart-Broken
Husband.
A very respectable looking man, who
from his manners and conversation, had seen
better days, was picked up by the watch a
few evenings since’, very much ov¢27<3onie by
liquor. On being brought before the Magis-
trate in the morning, he narrated a most
melancholy and heart-rending chapter of his
history, as crowded with most s'.iri'ing events
as the most exciting novel of the day. His
friends and family belong in Hartford. He
emigrated from there to Buffalo nearly five
years ago, and entered into business. He
was prosperous, and he married a beautiful
woman, who became the mother of a bean-
tiful boy to bless him with his innocent en-
dcarments. He was happy, and while pros-
perity was smiling on him, he received in-
telligence from Hartford that his mother was
dying, and to hasten there if he desired to
see her alive. He hurried away, desiring
an intimate friend to see that his wife. should
want for nothing in his absence. His moth-
er lingered for weeks in a dying state. The
morning after her remains had been depos-
ited under the green sod of the graveyard,
he received a letter from a friend at Buffalo,
informing him that his wife had eloped and
left. his hearth desolate.
He returned to Buffalo heart-broken and
found his infant boy in charge of a neigh-
ing family. Discoumged and disheartened
he sought reliefin the bottle, and soon found
himself a miserable drunken loafer. He
left the Queen city last full, hearing that his
wife and paramour were in 'l'roy, and made
his way to the latter city, where he arrived
in a state of complete destitution. He must
either beg or steal, he could not starve to-
death. He was too proud to solicit bread to
eat, so he was forced to steal. He was
caught in the act and sent to the Albany
Penitentiary. A month or two since, his
term of imprisonment expired, and he was
again thrown upon the world without mon-
ey and without friends. He found himself
a few evenings after in the lower part of the
city, and on entering a house of prostitution,
the first object that met his gaze, was his wife
sitting upon the lap of a disgusting ruffian,
and resigning her tender cheek,which he had
not suffered “ the winds of heaven to visit
too roughly,” to his disgusting caresses. Hc
rushed from the house in a state of phrenzy,
mad with rage, and calling down" the ven-
gcance of Heaven on the wreich who had
seduced his wife and blasted his peace and
happiness on earth. In this condition he
was picked up by the watch. VVe are glad
to hear that he has been kindly cared for,
and he is to be sent to Hartford.

entirely absent in the equatorial regions.

in circumfetence, which the Indian boys
draw over their heads in sport, and wear as

dian Archipelago, the flower of the Refliesia
is nearly three feet in diameter, and weighs
over fourteen pouncls.——IIumboldt’s Aspect of

Curious Railroad Adventure.
A correspondent of the Pittsfield Sun re- ‘
élates the following singular story of a “ hap-
py ”_ gentleman who attempted to use the
Housatonic railroad track as a highway:
" VVhen iiie night tiain from New York
was within three-quarters of a mile of the
.East Village Depot, Canaan, Conn., an ob-
struction was felt by Mr. Bridgeman, con-
ductor, who, upon questioning the engineer,
found that he had discovered an object. on
the track, but_was too close upon it, and
under such headway as to be unable to
escape IL On examining the catcher, on
the arrival at the depot, the interstices were
found filled with the fragments of a wagon-
body, presenting the appearance of a crow’s
nest. \Vith much anxiety the conductor,
with attendants and lights, passed back over
the track. Some eighty rods from the depot,
a broken jug was found, which sustained
the observation of one of the temperance
hands immediately previous, that “there
was rum sonieivhere.” Some dozen rods
further, discovered a shirt, without owner
and without blood. Soon the broken spokes
and hubs and tires wrencbed and broken,
brought them to the scene of the disaster.
In a deep excavation adjacent, was found
avaluable horse, lying upon his back, stiff,
and with faint signs of life. In the mean-
time no human forms were discovered, until
the loud call of the conductor was heard,
when the unsteady voice of an equally un-
steady man was heard in the thicket, near
at band, who soon clambered down the
bank, as directly as circumstances would ad-
mit.’ He was accompanied by two interest-
ing little boys, one of four, and the other
six or seven years of age. To the question
of N11‘. Bi'i<Jgenian,“V7Viiat are you doing
on the track of the railroailil ” the answer
was returned in the memorable style of the
army in Flanders, of which Uncle Toby
spoke some time ago. It seemed the poor
man had no conception that he had been
1'id_den down by the iron horse, or that he
was on any other than a s/ioc/ting bad pub-
lic road, of which fact alone he seemed to
be fully sensible, for the smallest boy re-
tul3l‘l(e(l that papa. said, as they were coming
along, llial /Le s/iaulil not ride over the 7‘0a.cl
wgai/L till l/l(.’_7/ /Lad repairctl it.
The upshot of the matter is this. The
man was engaged in looking up a farm for
purchase. ‘Agentlcinan in a neighboring
town had lent him a valuable family horse,
with which he had made a journey to his
former residence. He was on his return.
He had been drinking something stronger
than water, which so confused either his cyc-
sig'i~.'. or his judginent, that where the public
road crosses the l‘i1lll‘0il(l, instead of passing
directly on, he turned upon the track, the
ties of which, :1 good portion of the way,
protruded from four to eight inches above
the level, and passed no less than five “ cat-
lle-guards,” one or two of which were of
double width. 'l‘he horse, with the buggy.
and jugs, &c., safely leaped them all, unac-
countable as it may seem. The noise of
his own conveyance was such as to conceal
the approach of the locomotive in his rear,
which demolished the buggy, threw the
horse into the ditch, safely depositing the
“interesting stranger” and his fine boys
upon a high bank some fourteen feet in as-
cent.
What is remarkable is this-—the man af-
firmed that the horse had run away" and
smashed the buggy; the horse was turned
over and helped to rise, and not a bone or
even the skin was found broken. The per-
sons of the man and his two boys were un-
mutilated, no other marks were received,
than a line coat stripped in the back from
waist to collar, and a somewhat comical ex-
pression given to the rear of his hat. A
pretty good commentary this upon temperate
drinking. We ought to add, furtlier, that
another jug was found in the road, safe and
sound and lull, which was duly smashed by
those in attendance, to the no small chagrin
of the owner.
SINGULAR DIVORCE CAsE.—A favorable
report, on a petition for divorce, was made
in the legislature on Saturday. The cir-
cumstances, as detailed by the Chair-
man of the Committee, were as fol-
lows :—-The petitioner was married at
the age of 20. She was a respectable and
intelligent young lady, but, owing to some
peculiar circumstances, her mind became af-
fected, not to absolute insanity, but so far as
to be distracted, and, in this condition, she
came to New Haven, on a visit to her sister.
At this time she became acquainted with her
husband, who is a colored man, through the
agency of a colored woman, who was em-
ployed by her in washing. Her husband
had never proposed the match nor had she;
but, one evening, she was invited to the
house of her washerwoman, and there found
a company assembled, at which time she
was informed she had been published, and
that those present had come to see her mar-
ried. She consented, and the ceremony was
performed by a colored clergyman. Her
husband then carried her to New York,and
placed her among associates that were very
disagreeable to her. He went to Calllomla
some months ago, but has recently returned.
She has recovered from her hallucination,
and looks upon her husband with disgust
and horror. He had received her notice of
her application for divorce, but did not ap-
pear in opposition.
