Enjoyment while on earth. I've beard aweet music gushing from . The gay and lively throng ; _ I've heard the halls of fashion ring With melody and song, But it was not the Christmas lay, Arising from the soul ; It was the music brought out by The bright and sparkling bowl. I've séen some of these gay young men Bowed down in after years ; ' I've seen. their sisters weeping, and Their mothers shedding tears ; I've seen their wives in.great distress- Their children begging bread- The bloated husband lying on A drunkard's dying bed. Ye young and gay, I pray beware Of fashion's tempting power, For fear that you may rae it in Death's dark and silent hour. Seek not enjoyment from the cap- The end may not be well ; But live in soberness and shun The \ beverage of hell,\ COME SOT BY MY SIDE, MY SHMALL DARLING, Come sot by my side, my shmall darling, Und a nice dale of loaf I shall dell, Der splendidest yon I can dink of, Und vyon'dot you'll like boody vell.

On the second step were two lions of pure gold; 'whd terrible aspect, as darge as life.. ‘Tge' proper- ties of the throne were such that when Solomon: placed his foot on the first step, all the birds 'gpread their wings and made a fluttering noise in the air ; on his touching the second step, the lions extended their paws; on his reaching the third step, the whole assembly repaated the Deity.- When he arrived at the fourth step, voices were heard addressing. him thus, Sou of David, be grateful for the blessings the Almighty hath be- stowed upon thee !' and the same wasrepeated on reaching the fifth step 1 On his touching the sixth step, all thg. children sang praizes!

Before the throne was a column of burnished gold, on the top of which was placed, 'a golden dove, which had in his beak a roll bound in silver ; in this roll were written the Psalms of David, and the dove having presented the roll to: Israel. On the approach of a wicked person to the throne for judgment, the lions wouldset up a terrible roaring and lash their tails; the birds began to ruffle their feathers, and ° the whole -as sembly set up such loud. cries, that for fear of them, no person would dare be guilty of false- hood, but would instantly confess their crimes! Such was the Throne of Solomon.\ A Pig with a Man's Head and a Pig with an Elephant's Head. . There are now on exhibition hero two pigs, one with a haman bead and the other with the bead of an clephant. 'The last named one was littered a few days ago, by a sow owned by John Winters, Esq., a gardener. Its head is in every particular similar-to that of an elephant, having a perfectly formed snout, large cars and eyes, but uo mouth. It was of a litter of thirteen pigs, all nataral and well formed except this one.- Unlike the rest, it bad no hair on its body. It lived about ten minutes, and ran about the yard before its death.
