He had laid aside iH selfishness ; p leasure "was to him a thing denied , and the obIt light -which Iflnmined his pathway was $ lsX of-a quiet conscience , and hope of ultimate rest . He had a mother and a sister ; they were his onlv itJauves , and he _ supported them .

Han / a night did he retire Jrangrv to abed bnt poorly -snpplisd with coverlets—manv a cold wintrv ftaiing did he at , with his only blanket pinned sound Ms neck , for he had not wherewithal to bay &d ; and when he looked al his fireless grate , he sehedjiot , bnt smiled pleasantly , and drawing his Basket closely around him , exclaimed , "Well ! I isskmTGod , that they are now sitting by afire . " . "Andwith these thoughts did he sustain himself
UBcfying aO his desires foT a year . If any one had matched lim closely throughout this time , it would ferre teen said thatthe symptons of insanity , which fot dereioped themselves at Dr .

Though h . e still looked forward and was strong in hope , his present state was very cheerlesscold , hunger , and watching , combined with incessant intellectual exertion , had proved too strong for . his lEason to bear up against , and it tottered—it did not Ml , for its hope sustained it ; he thought of his Bother and his sister , and these thoughts were for a ims his salvation .
It happened that one day he was seized with a 3 sire of xLadng M 3 long-deserted home , and of emtecing his mother and his sister . It was Christmas-Sme , aid "he thought that lie might afford himself sa holiday ; so he started—npon foot be ii remembered—for Exeter , -which was the home of his Miss . As he went along le pictured la himself feovn delight and that of his grateful relatives , ipaa finding themselves once again , in presence of each other , " after so painful and so protracted a separation . He anticipated with pleasant feelings oTself-cangratalaiian , their joy and their thanksgrriinjrs , Qieir praises , and their pride . ~ He had not loierarnei than of . his coming , for it was his desire ** to give them a surprise ; " and as he trudged , with b £ = k steps , along the hard , dry roads , the keen & 05 tT air bracins his relaxed frame , his mind full of
hope , seemed to sympathize with his body and was bacedalso , fhe anticipation of delight acting-upon ii rah an inTigoratmg freshness ; and ere he reached 4 . e confines of his natire county he "was a aer man—a * giant refreshed ; 'but it would have beea bett er for ^ Vm if he had died by the way-side ee fe passed the borders of that county . It was evening when the -weary pedestrian trarersed the narrow street which led to his little homestead . Vith a beating heart and a noiseless step he crossed the threshold and opened the door of the spartment , wherein he knew that his mother always at "Mother ! - "' he said ; but this was the only Tord he uttered , for he saw that which suddenly deprived Mm of speech , and where lie stood tihere did « remain . He never passed the threshold of the 3 Com .
He leant against the door-post , and his straining eyes behda too plainly the fearful exhibition which Tas prepared to greet his return , after long absence ^ to his home and to Ms kindred . There lay his aother and Ms sister , stretched out xrpon a carpetteSoor , the Etfle chamber wbichhe bad left so ssaiortable , denuded of almost aHits furniture , and ia ; spark of fire in the grate .

-" The Lord have mercy on us ! Thia is awful work !" groaned the poor Doctor , casting * rnefnl glance at bis &-vonrite Mans Meg . . . . - There was a moment of breathless silence ; another fearful crash was heard , and . the gigantic brute , bursting forth into the open space , brandished aloft Ids ponderous trunk , like a knight entering the lists defy all comers , and screamed forth hia ahrill note of defiance . He was a stupendous anitt »* 1 /^ perfect moTmtaJTi of flesh , faff twelve feet Iiign , trith enormous tusks , and his little twinkling red eye glared with the fireof madness . . Flourishjnz his trunk about he snuffled the tainted air , and his scream ofrage , as he stamped upon the ground , announced that he was » vare of the close proximity of hia enemies , although he had not decided in -which direction to make Ha headlong charge . - " Now lads , steady , and reserve your fire till proper time , " and Mansfield gave a low "whistle .
The elephant started , cocked hid ears , and bent down his hewlitf the atdtode of listening . He ^ vas jnst in the ri ^ ht position , and Mansfield was in the act of raising his rifle , when , crack -went Mons Meg , with a report like a six-pounder , and the Doctor , throwing down his weapon , took to hia heels , roaring "lustily that the monster was after him . The poor "Doctors nerves had _ got the better of him , and by an involuntary twitch of his forefingers , he had pulled the trigger ¦ when he had least expected it . _ Mansfield and Charles fired , and both balls took effect in the head of the elephant , making the blood flow copiously ; but "being discharged almost at random , and not planted m the correct spot , they only acted as sdiaulauts to his rage . Uttering _ a shr ill scream , he dashed madlv fonvara , liiBmonth wide-open , his tail on end , and his trunk ' upraised , to crush all -which opposed Ins heaSlone career . Mansfiela and pharles darted to one side , and fled for shelter behind the stem of a large teak tree ; iut the poor Doctor , whose senses were compltf tely bewDdpred , Tan blindly forward , arid his ted jacket , being much too conspicuous an obiect
to escape the notice of the enraged elephant , his fate appeared inevitable . In vain did the panting wretch twist , and turn , and dodge amongst the trees , like ~ the hunted jackal . The destroyer was close at hi * heels , following every torn with the perseverance of mortal hate . Hisstrenjth was fidiug fast , and the fearful chase appeared to be drawing to a cW . The trunk of the elephant was already stretched forward to grasp him , when he made a sudden turn ; the elephant overshot hu mark , and , for one moment , was at fault , apparently uncertain in which direction his victim had fled . The ' Doctor , seeing hia advantage , began , with all diligence , to climb the tree behind which ne had sheltered himself . He was already several flet from the ground , and hi 3 arm was outstretched to grasp a branch which would have raised him to a place of safety , when the elephant , catcHnsj a hastv glimpse of nun dashed at him with redoubled fury , iwisted ' his trunk round his legs , hurled him to the ground , Tnsaed upon him , as he lay ,, stunned and "bleeding , and kneeling down , drove at him furiously , with his enormous tusks , barring them up to the very root . r
At this moment , Mansfiela , -vrjio had followed the chase , dodged cautiously from tree to tria , in hopes that someWfev turn mi ght give him a steaiyshot at the elephant ' s heaJ , came in sight of the bloody scJne . ** The Lord have mercy on his soul , for he is bevond the aid of man ! ' exclaimed he , dr-oppins the but-end o ? his rifle to the ground , and leaning against a tree , sick and eidSr nt the ghastly sisht .. - ' " The elephant rose from his Iree ^ s , picked up the bod of the unfortunate Doctor in in his mink , tossed it to a short distance , and stood gazing on his victim , with flaming eves , as 11 gathering fresh breath , before he ni 3 bed at him ' again , to finish the work of death , by trampling him .-with " his . " By heavens yen shall not complete your blocdv work ! - " ' muttered Mansneld , grindiiig his teeth , ' and raising his rifle with a Eteadme-s of hand iviiich never forsook him , even in the most desperate situations . The deadly bullet sped true to the mark , entering the eye , and burying itself in the brain of me elephant . The gigantic brute uttered one shrill scream of mingled rage and pain , and , sinking alov . lv to the ground , Tolled over like a falling tower . " '

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE . THE £ rst article in Blackicood , this month , is " the Sexton ' s daughter , " a beautiful poem , full of exquisitely simple and unaffected sentiments , dressed in the purest and most chaste language . We give the close of the poem , in which the hroten hearted old Sexton , after the death of the daughter , and on whom all the affections of his natarehad been expended , is finely and touehingjy crawn . It is highly wrought , hut yet not overstrained . Upon the spring- ; lad field ? and woods , The churchyard graves and txxH church-tower , The warm pure daylight softly broods , And . fills with life the momimf hour .
The vast sepulchral yew-tree waves ; And feels the sunshine cheer the shade , And e ' en the low and grassy graves Appear in living slumber laid . The only sad and helpless thing . That Mav-day makes not less l ' orlern , Is that old man , to whom the spring ls ~ 3 ead , and dead the breezy morn . These live not nov , for all is dead With her whoEes below the sod ; His daughter from his life is fled , And leares but dust ly spectres trod . The smopth sweet air Is blowing round It is-a Spiri * . of hope to all ; It whispers o'eT the wakening ground , And countless daises hear the call .
It mounts and sings away to heaven , And ' mid each light and lovely cloud ; To it the lark ' s lond joys are given , And young leaves answer , it aloud . It skims above the flat green meadow . And darkening sweeps the gray mill-stream ; Along the hill it drives the shadow , And sports and warms in the skiey beam . Bnt round that hoar and aaggard man It cannot shed a glimpse of gladness ; He wastes beneath a separate ban . An exile to a world of sadness .
"Cassimir Perier ' is a mass of fulsome panegyric which fairly breaks the back ol its subject : no ass could carry such a load . " 3 Iy first Circuit" and "The Strollers are very lively spirited articles . There are several other articles of merit , bnt vre cannot afford more space for extract or comment .

HULL TEMPERANCE PIONEER . —Ko 10 . EDITED BT B . FIRTH . ¦ The talented and enthusiastic Editor still continues to wage nnremittmg warfare with every thing calculated to iapede the progress of that great and useful institution , to which his whole energies are almost unceasingly devoted , and which he views as the only certain means of accomplishing the deliverance of mankind from moral thraldom and misery . The present number I 3 devoted especially to the defence of female Temperance Societies to which it seems some objections have been started by the over scrupulous . "We give the following from the Editorial article .
^ Alcoholicnquormakesnodistinction . Itisdeadly in its aim . The human constitutionistheland upon which k fattens . Male and female fall its victims . Intemperance is its warwhoop ; and crime , immorality , death and perdition the trophies of its victory . It hardens the heart , destroys the fear of shame ; it steels the sense of modesty , and renders the female the butt of ridicule , the object of derision and contempt '; it nerves her brow to face and spurn the frowns of the world , to despise friendship because she cannot return it , love because she cannot impart it , goodness because" she cannot enjoy ^ t . In this state , me -views herself as a city in nuns ; and like Marcellus , weeps over the desolation around her . Every
motion she makes , is to entangle her more strongly in the net of dissipation and vice . Accustomed to falsehood and the pligbted faith of man , the broken tows of treachery and deceit , she relapses into her misery , and belieyes the world a stage for uncontroT ^ ed licentiousness and gratification . Stifling the remorse of conscience , and fearing to think she steeps her senses in oblivion ; and , discarding the censure -of those whose esteem she cannot gain , she abandons herself toinfamy , because without hope ofredemption . Thasis the unhappy lot of tens of thousands of females livingToot among pagans ,: savages or cannibals , butin England—the land of liberty , of honour , of virtue , ©! renfien—the boast of the good , and the . glory of the
brave ! If erer there was a paradox in : human society , it is .

Crocodile Tears . — " There is no deception now , Mr . \ Yeller . Tears , " said Job , with a look of momentary slyness , " tears are not the only proofs of distress , nor the best ones . " u No , they * ' t , " replied Sam , expressively . u They must be pat on , Mr . Weller , " said Job . " I . know they may , " aaid Sam : " some people , indeed , has 'em " always ready laii on , and can pull out the plug venever they likes . " —PicAicicA-. Mr . Porson . —In a party of which Person was a guest , there was also a physician , a Dr . Broeklesb y , a descendant of the eminent man who attended Dr . Johnson in his last illness . In addressing Dr . B . Porson always called him Dr . Rock . —" ' W Dr ' Rock "— " No , Dr . Rock , " &e .: a name rendered
almost infamous by Hogarth in his picture of the March of the Guards . At length Dr . B . became offended , and said , "Mr . Porson , my name is not Rock—it is Brocklesb y , " pronouncing the syllables distinctly . " -Well , " said Porson , - " if Brock—less r ^ BJs ^ notJlock , I know nothing of algebra .

The Eorce of Imitation . —Since the Queen has begun to ride on horseback , every female who can mount a horse is said to take what is called " equestrian exercise . " If her Majesty were to smoke a pipe or burn a cigar , all the ladies in the land would , we suppose , follow the Toyal example , and , like the ladies in South America , envelope tbeir fair forms in clouds of 'baeco smoke . Why does not some dealer tempt the Queen with a choice Havannah ? The demand for cigars would be prodigiously increased , if her Majesty would only take a whiff .
Impediments to Itinerant Musicians . — A _ French boy , who regaled the ears of the public with certain " Chansons Frangais , " fell into the hands of the police , and was sent to Kuutsford tread-mill , under the Vagrant Act , for a month . A gentleman , who visited the gaol , was accosted by the young melodist , from the summit of the wheel , with the following inquiry : ' Eh , Monsieur , how many tread-mills is between dis aud Londres ?'' About ten , my boy . But why do you ask ' ? ' ' Because I must sing all de vay to Londres ; andmalheureux dat I am , I shall be ten monts before I get dere . '
An Irishman ' s Fivefathers . —A neighbour of ours , one Jameo Neil , came to consult us as Jo the rent at which he should retake his farm , the lease of which was about to expire . He seemed anxious to give any rent rather than lose the ould spot , and was indifferent to calculation or value . Upon which we raid , "Why , James , your forefathers must have lived there . " " My / oKJ-fathers , " replied James indignantly , "Aye , by G—d , my five fathers , and my six fathers , and my seven fathers were born and died there ; " and for which James had to pay 4 s . 6 d . per acre for his family pride .
Termination of a Fever . —A gentleman hearing of the death of another , ' I thought ( said be to a person in company , ) you told me that Tom Wilson's fever had gone off .

Feargus O Connor addressed the largest assemblage of : people ever convened in SoutiShie ? lds ; and notwithstandmg that a very short notice % is given , the room in Wluc j ^ ft mee tog ; - •*» annouueed to be held was crowded 10 suffocation long before the appointed hour , and ^ previous to MK 0 Connor ' S arrival ^ an adjournment to- the Market-place # as decidei upon , rt U ™ C J aU" was ^ ° y Mr , Lowry and not fewer than 10 , 000 persons were assembled '
Mr . Lownv mtroduced Mr . O'Connor , by merely saying that m his . day that gentleman was the only public man ^ holdmg a conspicuous position in the political world , wto had never once turned to therightliand , nor to ^ the left . He was now here ; and let the . wople judge for themselves . He then introduced Mr . O'Connor who was received with deafening and unanimous applause . M « O' Connou tlien ^ ddressedthe : meeting upon these ^ ral queShons . of ; greatest i mportance to the working elates , telhng them . that all- changes which may take , place under our present system , were useless , and wild produce no benefit tor the millions , inasmuch as / the capitalists would be sure to turn any advantage to their own accountwhich
, as usurpers of representative power , they were enabled todo . l . he Corn Laws being repealed , he said , —under our present Goyernment-iwould do the millions not one farthing ' s worth of good , while a repeal of those laws under a popular Government , would contvir a lasting blessing upwa-the country and diminish the representative power of the Aristocracy at the same time . Seeing many persons looking like sliop-keepers among the people . he _ would poke , the oppovUimtyof pointing out the ruin which a line of useless political distinction was bringing upon their order ; but so united were they as an enfranchised political body that they considered the . r exclusive privilege as n sufJicient Set oil against their empty tills . Be explained that the
IS'ew Poor Law Amendment Act was recommended by the nite-paytrs of South Shields , upon the assurance that rates would be diminished ; thus their selfishness had sanctioned the introduction of tbe liiw .. while the fact wa . » , that the old overseers had handed over . £ 200 , to the Devil ' s servants , and now an increase was required to carry the expensive machinery into operation . He addressed the Irish Catholic portion of the meeting , and paused for their reply to the benefits which" einnncipation had given , or the Corporate or New ' . Tithe Bill was likely to give to the poor Irish Catholic . lie then wtinnlv commended the Irish residing in England , ibr not allowing ,. O'Conuell to turn them : i-, Minst the English Radicals , who were their bust friends , tlic fact
being , O'Conriell turned traicor , and tii . ; ii accu ^ od , tho- people of trenson . The plnn pointed out by the people of IJinninghani , he-Tfic < jii : ; iH-iidi'd all to fellow and to make an ns- . ruilt up'in the strongest fortress of corruptioii r nsunely tlie Lxcliequer . ( Hear , hear . ) He sivid that the b . st speech he had heard along time was an able one delivered by Lowry , at the dinner at Newcastle , on tbe 1 st uay of Jaunary , and us his spirits seemed still alive , they required no itinerantdemagogiies amongst them ; but as he had bepn invited , he could not refuse . Mr . O'Conn ' or then paid a liigli tribute to tbe exertions of Oastler aud Stephens , ar id concluded a very long speech , which was rapturously cheered , amid waving of hats and repeated bursts of enthusiastic ¦ applause * .
JNlr . LowiiY then addressed the meeting in his nsuiil strain of impassioned eloqnence , beautifully delineating the characters , objects , and interests of the several political classes , and fully shewing that however an identify of thought and action was judicious among Whigs , Tories , and many Radicals , that b y one interest alone were the labouring classes united , namely , that of protecting their own labour Mr . Lowry is a most powerful . speaker , and was loudl y and deservedly cheered at the close of his address .
_ The most peculiar feature of this important meeting wns , that nearly all the ladies and we . ll dressed people pf South Shields and the neighbourhood were present ; and , upon retiring , a large hatter was heard to say to a trrocer , "I " suy , what he says is right s the de \ il take me , but the wofkeys wear their hats just twice as long as they used to do formerlv , and 1 feel it .
