would have reached my hands.’
‘ But, Monsieur,’ ssid Madame Re-

,Yes, Madame,’ repl-‘ted he, bowing low

‘ Ah, you have made part of our family

in a low voice, ‘ It is he who took you up.

Panthers and Leopards.
It is related of it female leopard, now or
lately kept in the tower of London, that she
has a particular fancy for destroying parasols,
umbrellas, muffs, hats, &c,, whenever she
can reach them ; seizing and reading them
to pieces in a moment. In the course of five
yoars she ruined hundreds of such articles
before the owners suspected her intention.-
The Jaguar is said to be fond of fish. It
attracts them to the surface of the water; by
scattering its spittle as bait, and then knocks
them. out on dry land with its paw. Almost
all these animals can be tamed, if taken
young, but are treacherous, and often unex-
pectedly exhibit their natural ferocity. Pan-
tbers are especially cunning and playful. A
tame panther, which was kept at a trading
post on the western coast of Africa, was so
docile that its care was entrusted to a small
boy. One day finding its little keeper sit-
ring on a step fast asleep, it lifted its pawand
hnoclted the boy down, and then stood wag-
ging its tail as rfenjoying themischief it had
done. On one occasion, as an old woman
was sweeping with a short broom, which
brought her‘ nearly down on all fours, the
panther who was hidden near, suddenly
jumped on her back, where he stood in tr.-
uniph. The poor old woman screamed in
terror-—-the other servants ran away, and the
anther highly enjoyed the commotion he
iiad created, until the master came and re-
leased the terrified sweeper. Any woman
might be excused, we think for screaming in
sudh acase.
, Another panther, the pet of his master,was
strongly suspected of stealing poultry. The
master chained him tip, and the poultry still
d~i_s_appeared. This fact the master regarded
as a proof of the innocence of his pet But
one day thinking he saw a glimpse of feath-
srs in the panther’s house, he was led to
watch. I-Iesatv the cunning creature place
bits of bread, potatoe and other bait about
his door, and then retire into his kennel.-—
The fowls came, attracted by this bait, and
the panther managed to secure three of them,
which he took into his kennel and devour-
ed.
The tiger when tamed, or partially tamed,
has been known to perform the same feat.
It is a very interesting study to observe the
instinct of animals, and to watch what would
appear in them to airiourit almost to reason-
ing‘ powers. They appear almost occasion-
ally to change their natures in pursuit of their
prey, or in accomniodation to their situation.
Having meritoned how the Jaguar catches
fish, we will-give an account from an Eng-
lish writer of certain piscatory cats.
There is a propensity belonging to com-
mon house cats that is very remarkable’
I mean their remarkable fondness of fish’
which appears to‘ be their most favorite food 3
and yet nature in this instance seems in haw;
planted in them an appetite that unassisted
they know not how to gratify; for ofall quad.

to an island at a little. distance from the bank.
To this there could be no other iirducemerit,
than the fish which she might catch on the
passage, or. the vermiti which the island af-
forded. These are curious circumstances;
but the following which riiay be depends-il on
as a fact, isstill more remarkable. At Cav-
erton Mill, Roxlrur‘gshii'c, a beatitiftil spot on
Kale VVatei', there was a favorite cat domes-

VVhen the mill work ceased the, water as
usual stopped at the dam head, and the dam
ran consequently more shallow, often leav-
ing trout, which had ascended when it was
full, to struggle back with difficulty to the
parent stream; and so well acquainted had
puss become with this Cl!‘-Tllmslutlce, and so
food was puss of fish, the moment she
heard the clapper cease, she used to scaniper
off to the dam, and tip to her belly in water,
continued to catch fish like an otter. It
would not be easy to cite a more curious ani-
mill instinct approaching to reason, and
overcoming the usual habits of the species

“ In Conirecticrit, fast day is to be Friday,
the l8th'of April, (Good Friday.) This is
as it should be. Let fast day come on Good
Friday and Thanksgiving day on Christmas,
and then all denominations may unite in
their observance ; but as it has been hereto-
fore, the Episcopalians and Catholics either
do not notice the days set apart by proclama-
tion, or they must keep a double first and a
double thanksgiving.”

Well, Cinciiiniitti is a great place; at

came on arrived two hours before its usual
time, and the military were not ready .to re-
ceive-. him, so he got into a dirty back which
was at once covered with men trying to
shake hands with the old hero. The driver
tried to knock them off‘, and at last took the
butt of his whip and laid them flat with
bruisetl heads, when a stone. from the crowd
sent him to keep them company sans cere-

and stones and dray pins were the weapons
and more tliaii one head was prepared for
the surgeons care. At last a tlrayman whip-
ped his horse tlrrough the crowd, raii over
two or three and made a passage, and the
General was put th.-rough to the Bar-
net House in the last litre, doubtless thinking
the people loved him. Such was the recep-
