THE PHILOSOPHY OF SPORT.
BY CHARLES MACKAY,
Bear lightly on their fureheads, Time !
Strew roses on their way ;
The young in heart, however old,
That prize the presant day,
And, wiser than the pompous proud,
Ate wise enough to play.
I love to see a man forget
His biood is growing cold,
And leap and swim, o- gather flowers,
Oblivious of his gold,
And mix with childven in their sport,
Nor think that be s old,
1 love to see the man of care
Take pleasure in a toy ;
[ love to to see him row or ride,
And tread the grass with joy,
Or hunt the fAying ericket-ball,
As lusty as u boy.
All sports that spare the humblest pain,
That neither maim nor kill—
That led us to the quiet field,
Or to the wholesome hill
Are duties which the pure of heart
Retlgiously fuldl.
Though some may laugh that full-grown men
May frolie in the wood,
Like children let adrift from school—
Not mine the scornful mood :
I hon r happiness,
And deem it gratitude,
And though, perchance, the cricketer,
Or * Chinaman,” that flies
His dragon kite, with boys and girls,
May seem Lo some UnwWise—
I see no folly 1 their play,
But sense that underlies.,
The road of life is hard enough ;
Bestrewn with slag and thern
1 would not mock the simpiest joy
That make it less forlorn,
But 6il) s evening path with flowers
An fresh as thiose of morn,
'Tis something, when the noon has passed,
To brave the toneh of Time,
Aund say, * good friend, thou harm’st me not ;
My soul 15 10 its prime ;
Thou eanst not chill my warmth of heart—
-1 carol while I elhimb.”
Give us bat health and peace of mind,
Whate'er our clime or clan,
We'll take delight in simple things,
Nor deem that sports unman :
And let the prond, who fly no kite,
Despise us if they can!
Miscellany.
A Thrilling Adventure of a Day
in India. -
BY GEORGE W. STODDARD.
There are few portions of the tropical world
that present the combined beauties of the sun
ny skies and rich landscapes 10 so great advan
tage as many poris of fodia, especially the re
gion south of Bombay, on the Malabar coast.
But lere, the progress of arts and civilization
does not correspond with the advantages and
beauties afforded by nature. The blue and
lofiy ranges of mountaios look down upon a
race degraded and ignorant to the last degree—
the sparkling streams reflect alike the cluster
ing frunt and folige, and the wost poisonons
anu deadly plints known to man—the dense
snd beaunful forests abound with ferocious
beasts and serpents, of the most fearful spe
cies and formidable size.
Daoring a residence of some months at a
station oo the Mulibar coast, 1 frequently
went into the forest alone for the purpose of
amusing mysell by the geeat variety of game,
but seldom ventured so far as 1o prevent my
returning before night. On (hese occasions,
lalways carried a heavy rifle, which long prac
tice had rendered a very effective weapon in
my hands. Equipped with a brace of pistols
and a long hunting-knife in my girdle, and
thie rifle upon my arm, ready (or instant use,
I had but lutle fear, in my wanderings, of
beast or serpent, and frequently climbed the
loftiest heights, and penetrated the thickest
jungles of that wild country.
Avended by a nutive, 1 one day proposed as
eending » mountain, whose blue summit could
scarcely be distinguished from the towo, ris
ingafurin the wilduess above the lesser heights
of the great Gaut range. We sturied at day
break, and planged directly into the forest, in
the direction towards the objectof our expedi
tion. My companion wore nothing buta pair
of unshapelyshoes, made of untanued leather,
and a garmeont of lcopard skin, which descend
ed to his knees, was [astented at the waist by
a beit, io which was placed a heavy koife,
with a curved blade, which 1 observed was
very sharp and bright; he carried no other
weapon, except a short fowling piece, loaded
with ball. He was an athletic and bold - look
ing fellow, acquainted with all the methods of
huntiog and combatting the fierce prowlers of
the wilde, and possessed an uncommon degree
of sagacity, coolness and physical strength.
These were the qualities | desired, for 1 had
been informed that the mountain which we
were in ques' of, wasconsidered by the natives
a dangerous place, even for their most skilful
and daring hunters, being full of rocky caves,
inaccessible to anything botthe beasts to whom
they affurded shelier; and the country in its
vicioily being covered with a dense forest, and
dark, tangled jungles, into which the foot of
mao had never ventured. As we approached
the mountain, our progress indeed became
more and more difficult. Thick bushes and
fallen timber frequently obstructed our way.
Now we were stepping from one slippery rock
to another, through a rapid and roaring stream,
bow travelling miles to avoid impenetrable jun
gles, that stretchied like vast shadows through
the dim wood—now turned off at right angles
by a high, bold ledge of rock, through whose
solid froot, though rugged and unequal, no
opening could be found, and whose overhong
ing summit, crowned with trees and shrubs,
forbade the thought of ascent. Nearly every
appearance of game ceased here. T'he smal
ler animals had fled this region, or had fallen
& prey to the more lordly species of the brute
creation. Occasionally we heard a crashing
of the boughs, avd caught a glimpse of some
moving object in the dark recesses of the
thickets, or saw the spotted folds of the cobra
manilla, and other fearful snakes glide away
and disappear among tLe leaves and thick
brush, as though stariled at our approach.—
But thue far, we had proceeded so cautiously
" a 8 not to disturb these dangerous creatures,
or attract their attention. My cowmpanion
would frequently pause, in a listening attitude,
and cast his piercing glance into the thick tree
tops, which met sbove us, and completely
sbut out the light of the day, as though he
expected to see the crouching cougar, or the
frightful acaconda, ready to dart down upon
us; and yet there was no expression of fear
in the fellow's countepance— it was the cau
tion of the true hooter. We spoke not a
word, but continued to wend ourway a 8 noise-
Jessly as possible lowards the base of the moun
taio, whose lofiy cliffs aird precipices of rock
we began 1o see, gleaming through the trees
80d foliage, clustered here snd there upon
them. The ascent here, unlike most eleva
tions, was very steep from the first, and we
were obliged to toil hand aud foot in order to
make any progress. We lhad accomplished
mearly one hall of the ascent, aud saw the im
mense wilderness siretching away on every
side below us, when we were stopped by a
wall of rock, rising perpendicularly. iy many
places, to the height of several hundred feet,

ing, which grew gradually wider as it ran
further into the mountain, and the sides of
which were composed of earth and rocks of va
rious dimensions, some projecting nearly or
quite across the fissure. The side which we
proposed to ascend was not quite perpendicu
lar at this spot, and its broken appearance, and
he shrubs growing from it, made our success
ipparently feasible. Tmpelled by cuoriosity
ard a dosire 1o know more of this singular
wpening, | determined to penetrate (arther in
o it while my fellow hunter tried the ascent.
[ proceeded some distance, and noticed that
the passage seemed o grow no wider; but the
vegetation became thinoner at every step, and
eased almostentire y. Here, on looking up,
I saw that the crevice was closed some filty
eet above, and before me was darkness, into
which dared not penetrate.
While looking with a sort of horror into this
lark chasm, which seemed 1o lead directly to
wards the heart of the mountain, | heard a
rusthing sound proceeding from its recesses,
wnd started back, appalled at the thonght of
laving entered perhaps the very den of the
ierce tiger or the dread lion. The noise was
‘epeated, und hasuly turning, | retraced my
steps us silently as possible, 1 cast v eyes

commenced climbing, and as | turned again
10 go back, | saw through the bushes an enor
mou serpent ghding slowly towards me, along
that part ol the passage which | had just trav
ersed. He did not seem to be aware of the
' presence of any foe or vietim, but crept along
with his body half concealed among the bush
~es, and his head close to the ground, until ar
niving under the native and probably alarmed
by some roise the lutier made he then reared
hmiselfl several feet from the ground, and be
'holding the man ahove him, gave a lond and
E terrible hass, and quick as lighining coled
Chimsell around the ne rest teee, and ascended
to its first bonghis. Tins sight paralyzed eve
‘wy mental and physical fuculty I possessed.
I had wo hife butin the horror of gazing upon
this frightiul monster—a horror which was
cgreatly increased by the peril in which it
‘ placed my companion. He meanwhile Lieard
' the terrible hissing below him, and became
Ctully aware of the extent of his danger. e
had chimbed forty of Gy feet perhiaps, and was
very nearly as high as the top of the tree which
the serpent was ascending in pursuit of him.
For ten or fifieen (eer above where he now
] stood, the rock was perpendicular, and affor)-
ed no facilities for ciimbing except 118 crevices
L and the bushes that grew from them. Up he
went, however, with incredible agility, until
Cwithin a few fect of a spot where the wall
| seemed to jut back, forming a sort of shelf;
| here nothing appeared within his reach hy
which he might raise himsell higher, and for
& moment he paused. Abose him and quite
Cout of his reach, wus a decayed root, which
(did not look strong enough to sustain his
weight,and above that was a strong bush whieh,
if he could but grasp, he felt certsin of being
able to reach the shell, where he would have
some chance of defending himself, and he oh
served that the top of the great opening was
oot far above this, although a eloser examiva
tion wonld have shown him that it was impos
sible to reach it from his present position, for
the wall above the shell, and on either side,
presented a smooth, sohid front, withoutshrub
or crevice. He had bat an ionstant to consid
‘er. He heard a quick rustling in the tree be
low, a branch of which ran very near him, and
again that sharp hiss told him that his fmght
ful enemy was almost in reach of him. With
the encrgy that desperation gives in such mo
ments, be made a spring up the perpendicular
face of the rock. Ihe missed his aim. or the
root broke, unless he could sieze the bush
above il, hie was losi, for he would inevitably
(all, and the serpent would sieze him as soon
as within reach. T'he root did break almost
an instant after his weight was upon it, but
the agile native hod managed to lay his hand
upon the bush, and after another powerful ef
fort ie was upon the shell. Seeing that it was
impossible 1o climb further, he turned, and
setting his back firmly against the rock, drew
bis Koife aond fixed his eyes firmly upon his
enemy. I saw the latter wind himself aronnd
one of the strongest of the higherlimbs, which
would bring him very near his intended vietim,
and then my sell possession returned. lo
fuct, what 1 have related had passed so rapid
ly before my eyes that I had scarcely tine
for action of any sort. The serpent had as
cended the tee so swiltly votil concealed by
its branches that | had no time to fire, but now
that he exposed hiwself, | determined 10 do
0, although the shot might endanger the na
tive. The frightful monster in s revolutions
around the limb, pivsed whenever Lis head
came above it, and fixing his burning eyes up
on his expected prey, made another turn
around the limb, and each time came nearer
to its extremity. As his head came fairly in
view [ fired, aimiog ot his neck. The report
of the nifle in this peot-up place was tremen
dous, aod instantly turning his head towards
the tree, the serpent twisted himself into a
large knot upon the limb, and 1 distincily
heard his blood dropping upon the leaves near
my feet. | thought I had doue the business
for him, but was mistaken, for in a moment,
hissing in anger, he uncoiled himselfand agaio
advanced along Ithe branch. My compinion
bad left his fowling piece near where | s'ood,
and | seized it and fired a secoud time, but
without effect. He reached the end of the
b, which, although ruoning nearly horizon
tally, was a continusnce of the main body of
the tree, and having been broken near the
shelf, was strong enough to bear his weight
and bend very little. Here, with his head flat
tened and bis arched and swollen crest glow
ing like fire, ha prepared 1o spring upon his
prize. The blood streamed from the wound
1n his neck, and flowing down crimsoned the
bright scales, but he seemed to be but litle
injured. His burning and diluting eves were
fixed intentiy npon the native, and his red,
torked tongue daried like an incessant flime
from his mouth. The man was prepmred for
him—the keen knife glittered in his hand—
but his situation was a terrible one. At
this moment a dark shadow fell upon him.
He looked up, and in amazement benell a
lion of great size s'anding upon the brink of
the opening, some ten feet above him, with
his eyes fixed on the other side, and evidently
intending tocross. A lLiss from helow canght
hisear, and dropping his heal quickly between
his legs. he lifted lus mane, and with a loud
roar sprang fiercely at the native, who avoided
him by shrinking close to the rock, and as he
came within reach on the shelf, plunged his
koife into bis side. As the lion recovered
from his leap and turned upon his foe, | saw
two or three coils fly from the limb like rings
of fire and o an iostant. one of them was
sround the shaggy neck of the lordly beast,
and the langs of the serpent were fasiened just
above his eyes. e was dragged struggling
from the shelf, and the serpent retainiug his
hold upon the limb, they swung heavily sg.iinst
the body of the tree. "T'he joints of the serpent
stretched to their ntmost tension, and the lunb
beot and cracked with the weight it sustained,
but he firmly kept bhis bold, and drew the cord
about the peck of the ragiug lion tight as a
hangman's knot. But the mighty beast was
not thus to be overcome.” With one of his
strong paws he grusped the snake above his
head, snd turning seized that part in his eapa
cious mouth, crushing bone and flesh, and
grinding his teeth io fury when they met,—
The cords upon the limbs relaxed, and they
fell heavily 1o the ground, fighting in a hes
and whirling the dry leaves up in a eloud witg
their fierce energy.
I ran up the path which the native had se.
lected before, and wes soon joined by him.—
With little difficulty we reached the top of the
'opening, and turnedto look at the strange bate
tle below. But all was over. The huge ser
peot lay bloody and motionless at the foot of
the tree, and the victonous lion disappeared
among the bushes in the direction of the
mouth of the fissure. He had received some
severe wounds, and | doubt not his bones ached
from the great stress of the serpent’s (ulds.
This extraordinary oceurrence did not pre
vent us from reaching the summit of the mouns
tain, and gizing o wonder and dehight overthe
vast and besunful country. It was the most
exciting scene | ever witnessed, and [ then be.

While great improvements are alimost daily
making v the more useful aris the ornament
lal have not beeo neglected. As a proof of
this, it is only necessary to refer to the exten
sive business that is done in papier mache ar
ticles, and the large number employed in their
manufacture, Articles of this and other de
scriptions, which were fomerly imported (rom
France and Englind and sold here at exorbi
tant prices, are now madein this conntry, with
as ueh shill and taste Ly our own artizans
and at nearly one half the original expense.
The arvicle takes Its name trom the prepar
ed paper which forms the principal material
in its composiiion. This paper, which is eut
into the required size and shape, 1s made of

en. When the required time has elapsed, it
18 removed, and lelt in the open air for some
minutes, when a coat of refined black varnish
is lad over the surface. Before this varnish
has become dry, pieces of pearl, cut in the!
form of leaves, roses, and other lowers, as the
faney of the artist may dictate, or the charae- ‘
ter of the article may require, are laid on the |
paper, to which they adhere, and which is
again placed in the oven. When it has been
removed the second time, another coat of var- l
nish is apphied on the surface of the pearl and
paper indhseriminately. The varnish, when
it has had sufficient tune to dry, is scraped off
the pearl, and the same process is repeated
several times, until all paris of the surface is
made quite even. T'his gives the pearl the
appearance of having been inlid. The arti
cle, which is still in an unfinished state, after
a thorough pohish, has to be submitied 1o the
hands of an artist, npon whose skill its beauty
ina great degree depends.
Under his hands the piece of zearl but rongh-

A Bear Stonv.—Reading an interesting
article respecting the habits of the bear, a pret
ty story floated up to the suirface, related to
me some time since, by my friend the Colo
nel, who hiad spent the most of his fortune and
I fe in the woods of Florida, now years gone
by, which | will actempt to relate—the truth
of which you may depend upon, as | heard it
from his own hins, T'he Colonel had a Yack
fellow, Dick, a good natured happy creature,
who one morning was strolling through the
woods whistling and roaring as he went, when
suddenly he spied an individual as black as
himsell, with much more wool.
Dick louked at his new friend, and the bear
(on his rump) at him. Dick’s eves began to
suckout afeet. *Whodit? cried Dick, sha
king all over. Brain began 1o approsch.—
Dick pulled heels for the first tree and the
bear atter him. Dick was soon up to the Cy
press, and the bearseratching close afier him.
Dick moved outon a limb, the bear followed =
till the limb began 1o bend. *Now see here,
Mistere if you come any further, dis limb
broke. Dere! dere! Tiellvouso.' As Dick
had said, the limb broke, and down came bear
and mgger. *Dere, vou brack debil, 1 tole
you soj dis all your fault. Yer broke yer
neck, and | gess | take ver to Massa Colonel.’
I believe there is no vainer sorrow than sor
rowing for the dead. Ifthe past be unaliera
ble, and the futureinexorable, then is lamen
ation over the bier vanity itself; but in truth
we mourn not forthe dead, but after the dead,
and for ourselves. And this, too is vain—a

intwo days | was entirely cured, and [ have been per
