Goldsmith in hi* fouchTng and eloquent plea for the dog. where in alluding to a soil of mania for dog killing which prevailed at the time of which he speaks in consequence of an unreasonaIkl.-. :<t?orehensioh of hvdroDbobia. he savs among other flue thing*, that the dog is the ohly animal which will leave hi* own kind voluntarily to follow man. It in true, and the truth nhould hind man to be the <log'? protector and friend. The American brig Cecilia, Capt. 8ymmes on ouoof her voyages, had on board a aplendid specimen of the Newfoundland breed named Napoleon, and his magnificent rise and proportions, his intelligent head, broad, white chest, white feet and white tip . pad tail, the rest of his glossy bpdy being black, made him as beautiful as his peerless nanjwnkc, who no doubt would have been proud to possess him. Cspt Syromos, however, was not partial to animals of any kind, and had an unaccountable and especial repugnance to dogs, as much so indeed as if ail his ancestors had died of hydrophobia, and ho dreaded to be bitten iilce his unfortunate predecessors. * This dislike he one day manifested in a shocking manner, for as Napoleon had several times entered hie room, and by wagging * ? l.'m rrrnat klHSM r\t a tail lrniu>1rait tiitnnr and Inlc off lm desk. Ou lb* next occasion the CepL seised a knife and eut half tho poor .-jwiitnal s tajjyffi The dogvPH brought his master to the rand seeing the calamity wl the auof it, without, a moment a mktesitation he felled Captain Byromes to the cabin floor with a aledge hammer blow, which, had it hit the temple, would have forever prerertted the captain from cutting off any more dog's talla. The result waa tbAt Lancaster was pat in irefa, from which however, be wm soon relented, Capteia Bytumes partly repenting his cruel deed, on leaning tiiat Napoleon had once saved Ms pwotfl-V life. The whfte shark, as all ipy nautical friends are weU aware, is due of the very largest of hart** It averages over t verity, and I have seep oae twonty-seveo ?ur\iialf feet long, It m itiaraHv considered to be the fiercest avtd formidable of all ebarfca. But a few days elapsed after the catastrophe of poor Napoleon ere ho become the hero of a most thrilling occurrence, the very thought ef which has often filled me with horror. During the interval the noble beast was not at all backward in exhibiting bis wrath at the captain \>y low growls whenever he approached. In vain did his master, fearful for the life of his dog, essay to check these signs of his anger. Captain Symmes however ronde the allowance and offered no further harm to him. One morning an the enptain was standing on the bowsprit, he lost his footing and fell overboard, the Cecilia then running at about ten knots. "Man overboard Captain Symmes overboard 1? was the cry aud all rushed to get out the boat as they Raw a swimmer striking out for the brig, which vras at once rounded to, Rtid as they felt especially apprehensive on account of the white sharks in those wnters, they regarded his situation with the most painful solicitude. By the time the bftat touched the water their worst fears were realized, for at some distance behind the swimmer, they beheld advancing upon him the fish most dreaded in those waters. Mlurry I hurry I men 1 or wo shall be too late," exclaimed tho mate. "What's that?" The splash which caused this enquiry was occasioned by the plunge of Napoleon into the nca?the noble animal having been! watching the cause of the tumult torn the i bow of the vessel. Ho had noticed llio captain's fall and heard the shout, and for a few moments hnd vented his feelings in deep growls as if conscious of the peril of his late enemy and gratified at it. His growls, however, were soon changed into those whines of sympathy which so often shows the attachment of tho dog to man, when the latter is in danger. At last he plunged, and rapidly made his way towards tho now nearly exhausted captain, who, a- ( ware of his double danger, and being a passable swimmer, made fainter and fainter strokes^ while his adversary closed rapidly upon lum. "Pull boys, for dear lifel" was the shout of the mate, as the boat now fallowed the dog, whose huge limbs propeller!lum gallantry to the scene of danger. Slowly tho fatigued swimmer made his way, while ever and auon his head sunk in the waves, and behind him the back of the voracious animal told what fearfnl progress he was making, while Lancaster in the l>ow of the boat stood with a knife in his upraised hand watching alternately the captain and Ida iMtiniif.lv mill tliH faithful animal who had saved liie owu life. There was a fixed look of pale determination in his face, which convinced all that ?hould tho dog become a sacrifice to the shatk, Lancaster would revenge hi* death if possible, even at the risk of his own life. ' Good God ! what a swimmer exclaimed tho men, who marked the speed of the splendid animal. "The shark will have one or both it we don't do our best 1" The scene was of short duration. Ere the boat could overtake the dog, tlie emormous shark had arrived within three oars' length of the CAptaia and suddenly turned over on his back, preparatory to darting on the sinking man, and receiving him iuto his vast jaws, which now displayed their rows of long triangular teeth. The wild shriek of tho captain now announced that the crisis had come. But now Napoleon seeming inspired with in creased strength had alto arrived, and with a fierce howl leaped upon the gleaming betly of the shark, and buried his teeth in the monster's fledi, while the boat swiftly neared them* ~ "Saved I if we are lmlf as smart as that dog is1" cried the mate, as all saw the voracious monster shudder in (lie ten and smarting with the pain, turn over again, the dog retaining hit bold and becoming submerged in tho water. At this iuncturo tho boat arrived, and Lauoaster, bis knife in his teeth, plunged into the wntet whore the captrdr- had now uok from view. Dut a few moments elapsed ere the dog arose to the surface, nnd soon after Laucaster with the insensible fortn of the captain. "Pull them in and give them an oar 1" cried tho mate, "for that fellow is preparing for another launch." llis orders wcro obeyed, and the second onset of the marine m aster was foiled by the mate's splashing w<>ter in hi* eyes, as he came again, and but a few seconds too lato to snap otf the captain's leg*, as bis body was drawn into the boat. Foiled the second time, the shark passed the boat, plunged, and was seen no tuore, but left a track of blood on die surface of the water, a token of the severity of the wound from Napoleon. The boat was now pulled , towards tho brig, and not many hours elapsed before the captain was on deck again, feeble frftni his efforts, but able to appreciate tbo services of our canine hero, and moat bitterly to lament Ids own crael act which mutiMu him for f ever. i -I would give nay right arm 1" be exclaimde as hepatted the Newfoundland wboetood > by hi* side, "if I oould only repeiifthe injury lhave done to that splendid felldwt Lan castor you aro now avenged, and ?o in be, i and a moet christian vengeance it is, tfiongii < il will bo a source of grief to me as long as \ I live." .

Maurice, near ! Oneglia, two lovers named Anna and I Guiseppa, the former eigliteen, aud the latter twenty years of n?e. The pa-' rents had given their consent to their j union, and tho wedding day was soon. to be lixed ; when, during a short ab*! sence of Guiseppa, probably brought about by artful contrivance; an intriguing friend of the family prevailed on the mother of the bride to give, her daughter to a more wealthy lover. Anna, overcomo by ruaternal importunity, did what she had not firmness to refuse to do, and promised to bostow her hand on a man fortwhom 6he had no affection. Grief, however, soon undermined her health, and b}' way of amusement, she was sent to the i mountains to tho olive harvest, ller mother also went to see 6ome relations in the country, aud an elder sister was f ?V1 KUi?W?V VJIIUOV|/p<t WVCl lllg tut? rcmains of her whom he had murdered ( from affection, with a thousand kisses and burning tears Rafter which, with 1 the rapidiy of lighting. he 4ispatched ; himself by several pistoi-shoto, and fell 1 lifeless on the corpse of his beloved ' victim. The unhappv mother went 5 raving mad.

Meanwhile Gui- j scppa had returned and the report of t Anna's intended compulsory marriage i soon reached his ears. On the following, t Sunday ho met her 6ister at mass, and with the urgency, and with the resignation^ despair, he implored her to ' procure a last interview with his beloved. They agreed that he should find 4Anna in the garden in the even- ' ing by moonlight, while the only guar- ' dian domestic, an old sailor, was at the ! public house. t At the appointed time Guiseppa. 1 was in the garden, and there he found 1 his Anna, weak, melancholy, and silent; 1 she went up to him with faltering steps; 1 but in vain he questioned her, in vain 1 ho endeavored to draw from her the 1 acknowledgment that she still loved 1 him and acted by compulsion?not a 1 word could he elicit?mute, pale, and 1 motionless she stood like a beauteous statno before hint. At length lie clasp- : ed the adored object in an ardent em- 1 brace, dnring wliich he buried apoignard in her heart. She fell without a ( groan. The murderer liastilv fled over J the wall of the garden. The sister, ' alarmed at Anna's protracted absence, ; went out into the garden, where she [' found her lifeless in her blood, and . with the assistance of the sailer, who . 1 1 "1- * . .i. ' una reiurneu too late, carried her into} the house. The wretched assassin, impelled by |' savage frenzy, after strolling about all< night, again scaled tho wall of the gar- ' den, whereJie no longer found his An na, but only only her blood, which he 11 was busily employed in wiping up with his hanaerchief; when the mother, ' ignorant of what hud happened, ro ' turned early in tho morning from thu ' viUegiaturq^ accompanied by the friend who was tne caaso of tho entastrophe, 1 and, unlocking the gate, entered the 1 garden. The frantic Giuscppa ran to 1 meet her, and holding the bloody, 1 handkerchief close to her face, wildly < oried, "Conosci tu nuel sanguet" TDo ( you know the blood f") The mother j1 rushed with a fearful presentiment into ' tho house, whore the first object that met her view was tho corpse of her 1 murdered child. The maniac again 1 fled to the caverns ot tho neighboring 1 mountains. The corpse was decorated after the ! Italian fashion, crowned with a gar- 1 land of myrtlo, and deposited tho night ' before the funeral in osopen coffin in tho ' church before the high-altar. Here a \ person was placed to watch it by the light of consecrated tuners. After mid- ' night the assassin suddenly forced his way into church; tho affrighted watch- 1 inan ran off, but stopped at a distance to 1 observe his motions, and beheld thoun- 1 ?l*f n 1 intft nillSAtkMA i ireouently exclaimed, "Conosci tn d jucl sang a <3 V andsuukintoft prema- h ure grave. h 'Son't Sjuqk 30 eir0^2'' ?

The civil relationship which goes by the name attaches to itself different 1 meanings in different^ minds, and it is r not strange that among the many thou- j sands who take upon themselves an- ; nually its responsibilities and honors, t there should be much misinformation, not only from the peculiarity of ouV political system and its laws, hut ulso from the prevalent delusions which exist among natives of our soil. r 'Strange to say, there are two eiti- ^ zenships recognized under our laws, f and a man may enjoy the one without > being entitled to the privileges of the * other. This anomaly arises from the ? double allegiance which we bear to the ' State and Federal Governments, and to 1 the fact that the former have only rclin- ' quished to the latter a portion of their jurisdiction on this question, while ' jealously reserving the remainder, j Thus a man may be a citizen of Mass- ( iichusetts or Illinois, yet refused by the , State Department at Washington, a ] pas-port certifying to his United States citizenship; while it is competent for I Now York, under its Constitution, to t deny to citizens of the United States i horn in New .lursev, the elective fran- < chise, and other privileges of a citizen of New York, exce]?t upoiksncli terms 1 lis may seem expedient.

They do not thereby beome citizens of the United States, nor tor of any other State but the one vhich makes this exceptional regulaion in their favor. The right of any Itato to make such a regulation is nn _ Q ' loubtcd. Wisconsin may make a citien of an alien as Massachusetts makes no of a negro ; but neither becomes a itizcn of the United States thereby, or is it at all probable that the United tates authorities would undertake to orce any State to extend the "privijges and immunities of citizens" to liens, negroes, &c.

O, that mine were here!" He fiat an hour or two more, and then with a I long earnest look at the children, staggered ! out of the chapel, and went up to the dark 1 "valley of the shadow of death"?Cow Bay. j As the bell ran" for service in the afternoon, and while the children were clustering | together, the smrt^wild-looking man ?tag! gercd in once more. He surveyed the face j of the children with the closest scrutiny, | and at length his eyes rested on two brighteyed little girls who wer<* singing one of ^ their little hymns. lie sat immovable as a statute during the whole service, gazing in- ^ tently on the faces of those two children. The serviipe elosed, the congregation dispersed, yet he lingered, and the tears came coursing down brs face, thick and fast. Dr. S asked hitn "what was the mat. ter T' "I am a drflnkard !
