Behold this ruin I ’Twas’h sknll, Once of ethereal spirit full This narrow cell was life’s retreat, This space was thoughts mysterious seat; What beautious visions filled this spot. What dreams of pleasure long forgot, Nor hope, n or love, nor joy nor fear, Has left one trace of record there. Beneath this smouldering Canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye; But start n ot at this distant voice. If social love that eye employed'; If with no lawless fire it gleamed But through the dews of friendship beamed, That eye shall be forever bright. When stars and suna are sunk in night. Within this hollow cavern hung, The ready, swift apd tuneful tongue, If falsehood’s honey it disdained. And when H could not jiraise, was chained, Tf bold in virtues «rtise»^spoko, Its gentle concord never b roke! This silent tongue shall plead for thee When time unveils eternity. Say, did these fingers delve the mind T Or with its ermined rubies shine f To hew the rook or wear the gem, Can little now avail tb them. But if the page of truth they sougiit, Or comfort to the mourner brougiit. These hands a richer meed shall claim, Than all that wait on wealth or faine. Avails it whether bare or shod, These feet the paths of duty trod? If from the bowers of ease they fled, . To seek nffiotions humble shed, If grandeurs guilty bribe they spumed. And home to virtues cot returned, These feet with angels wings shall vie. And tread the palace of the sky. ai ^B WHOLESALE & RETAIL C b e m ists & Drug^gistSy 292 $TATii STREET. LANSINGBUBGH, If, Y.

A Tgentleman— Mr. John Fair—-of great calculating \powers has|measured and weighed four thousand millions of dollars, which he assumes to be the na- tihnal debt. H e proceeds to say :—“ It ‘ is‘ said that this debt is so great that it is t6'6' vast for comprehension. Now, as a ]fi’ra6tical man, I propose to weigh it and measure it, that we may thereby obtain d mote definite idea of its immensity, A s^yer dollar measures one and a half inches in diameter. Eight dollars placed edge to edge will make one foot in len^^. J24' so placed •^ill make one yard in lehgtii, and $42,240 so placed will make one mile in length.

The success of the dunamy engines for propelling street cars in Philadelphia, and; between Jersey City and Bergenj is attracting the attention of the public as well as the city railroad companies.!§iii seems they(are as safe as horseman, can travel faster, and can be operated a t One- third less expense. The smoke; ia con sumed; so there is no huisanbe fioin diiS cause, iind the ibafs, which scat seventy people, can be heated in winter by'stCam pipes. The advantages of these dummy engines are certainly very great. They would save time, money, and horse flesh, and the city railroad compfmies YOUld.do well to investigate the matter thoroughly. How A M arriage was B roken O ff . —^The Toronto correspondent of the ,Quebec Chroni<;lf says;—“,ThjB;rolemn rite o f matrimony is begining to assunao a very ludicrous aspect in this Upper Carfnda of ours.^ Recently, in a neighboring little hamlet, an unfertunate young l.adj^ was obliged to put off the in teresting ceremony for upward of thi’ee weeks, in consequence of not being able to settle satisfactorily upon the 6th bride- maid. The bridegroom in vain offered one and then another, but all to no pur pose. The fair bride was inexorable, un til at last the difficulty develope'd tre'its in the character of both which led to mutual recriminations, and finally com plete rupturc.!^he is now rep e n ^ t,' but, alas I too late.” , E. & H.
