Bruin, though evidently baffled, had a
firm look, which showed he had not, lost I
confidence in himself." If-the difficulty
of the undertaking had once deceived him,
he was prepariugio go at it again. . Ac-
-dingly, letting-himself down upon all
fours, he. ran furiously at fhe alligator.
The alligator was reaxly for him, and
throwing his-head and body partly around
to ;yoid the onsef, met bruirthalf way,
with a blow of hi? tail, taat rolled him
back on the shells.. Old bruin was not
to be put off by orje hint ; three times in
rapid succession he rushed at the alliga-
tor. and wasas ojten repulsed in the same
manner, being (knocked back bv each
blow just far enough to give the alligator
time to recover trie swing oi his tail be
fore he returned' Tha tail of the alliga
tor sounded like ja flail against the thick
coat of hair on bruin's head and shoulders,
but k he .bore it without flinching, still
pushing on to come to close holts with hi
scaly toe. He "made his fourth charge
with a degree off jdexterity, which those
who have never seen this clumsy looking
animal exercising, would suppose him in
capable of. This time he got so close to
the alligator before his tail struck him,
that the blow came with half its usual
effect. The alligator was upset by the
charge, and before he i could recover his
feet bruin grasped him round the body
below the fore ilegs, and holding him
down on his back:, seized one of his legs
in his mouth. Tjhe alligator was now iu
a desperate situation, notwithstanding his
coat of mail, which is softer on his belly
than his back, from which t

and had supposed he could understand
English, I should have uttered the en
couraging exhortation of the poet ;
Now gallant knight, now hold t'iy own,
No maiden's arms are round thee thrown."
The alligatorHttempted in vain to bite,
pressed down ak he was, he could not
open his mouth,' the upper jaw of which
only moves, and his neck wa3 so stiff"
that he could not turn his head short

bayou ; aided by this purchase, he made
a convulsive flounder, which precipitated
nmselt and bruin, locked together, into
he river. The bank from which they
ell was four feet high, and the water be
low seven feet deep. The tratnuit stream
received the tombatants with a loud
splash, then closed over tfrem insilence.
A volley of ascending bubbles announced
their arrival at thefbottom, where the bat
tle ended. Presently bruin rose again,
scrambled up jthe bank, cast a hasty
glance back at the river, and made off,

In the case of David Dubious, seyen of
the Juryyere for hanging and five'for ac
quittal. "Thus they had continued for
some time without any prospect of ever
thinking alike. Both sides were consci
entious ; both felt bound in honesty and
by their oath, to adhere to what the? con
ceived to be the true state of the case.
Said those in favor of hanging
44 The man is very evidently guilty, &

country, should we consent to his acquit

While those on the other side 44 We
have serious doubts of his guilt ; the evi

not answer it either-to God or our con

the ntteenth time,. 4 have you agreed
on your verdict ?"
No, said the foreman, and what is
worse we are not likely to aree where

duct us into Court.'
'There is no use in it,' said he of the tall
staff ;4 the Judge will send you back.
4 At all events let us have something to

4 The more you starve, the sooner vou
will be liWly to agree,' returned the con
stable. 4 Besides, you know it is strict
ly against, the law to allow you any thing
to eat,. until your verdict is made tip."
The Jury aoain took up the subject and
endeavored with dl their might to agree ;
but with ho better result than before. The
case was a stubborn one ; and 'would not
yield to theJunanimous desire for agree
ment. : ,
The Jury were at length permitted to
return:. into Court, where, on stating to
the Judge that it was utterly f impossible
for them to make up a verdict, his Honor
gave them a very severe reprimand lor
iheir inability to think alike, and peremp

ao awful bhake of his wig, that they should
neither eat nor drink untilthe case of the
prisoner was decided.

David's guilt begins to look to me, much
more clear than jt did a short time ago.
At any rate considering all things, I think
we can do no better than to hang him.'
I cant agree with you, there,' said Jo

prisoner, I'd stick to him till all was blue
if I vas'nt so infernal hungry. But I am
not bound to commit murder on my own

otwithstanding their sternness and
severity, we are mdebtetl to'-'the' ancients
for some of the most delicate and bcauti- .
ful ideas relating to the female sex. We
have a case in point. The origin of the .
veil is referred by the Greeks to modesty.;
and bash fulness, properties which par-;
tuike equally of timidity. They used to k
tell a pleasant story on thesubject,; for :r
which we are indebted fo Pausanius.
About thirty furhngs from the city of
Sgarta, Icarius placed a statue of Modes
ty, for the purpose of perpetuating the
following incident :
44 Icarius having married his daughter
to Ulysses, solicited hi3 son-in-law to fix .
his household in Sparta, and remain there
with his wife, .to which Ulysses 'would
not consent. v .
44 Frustrated in his application to the '
husband, he made the like request t6 his
daughter, conjuring tier not to abandon
him; but seeing her ready to depart with
Ulysses, for Ithaca? he redoubled his ef-
fortg to retain her, nor could he be pre-
vailed upon to desist from following the"
char?ot on the way. Ulysses, shocked ;
at the desperate situation 'of his father-,
in-law, and .wearied with his importunif
ties, addressed his wife'-4 You ,can an
swer this request : it is yours to deter-,
mine whether you will remain with your
tather at Sparta or depart with your hus
band for Ithaca you are mistress of the
decision.'
44 The beautiful Penelope, finding her
self in this dilemma, blushed, and, with -t
out making the leastreply, drew the veil
over her face, thereby intimating a denial
of her father's request, and sunk into the
arms of her husband. Tcarius, yery sen- '
sibly affected by this behaviour, and be
ing desirous of transmitting it, consecra
ted a statue of modesty on the very spot
where Penelope had thrown the7 veil over
her lace, that, after her, it might be a

not be uninteresting to some ot our read
ers to state a few of the particular circum
stances attending that decision. -"
It was a case or life and death : but
one doubtful and-difficult to decide. The
evidence was entirely circumstantial, and
iu many respects contradictory. The pn.
sojner, David Dubious, unfortunately bore
that. But still I have been hitherto
favor of the acquittal of poor David, be
cause I had my doubts about his being'
guilty. However all manner of doubts
must yield to circumstances. So tar as 1
can see, the evidence is by no means clear
as to the fellows guiit. But then, on the
other hand, who is he, that twelve respec
table men should starve to save his tile!
A fellow at best of doubtful reputation
