MAD. TUSSArD'S EXHIBITION.—Many of our
readers will, doabtle,s, remember having observed
enveloped in a magnificent
suit of armour, at the international exhibition, last year,
and to which a prize medal was awarded; also a modal at
the Paris Exhibition of 1855. It is a truthful representa-
tion of the one worn by the Emperor Maximilian of Ger•
many, in 1576, and was manufactured by that eminent
armourer, Mons. Graf/10r, of Paris, who, we understand,
enjoys the special patronage of H lA. Napoleon 111. The
Messrs. Tussaud having purchased the armour in question,
it is now added to their historical gallery, in Baker-street,
and is unquestionably one of the finest specimens of tuili.

Blessed Jesus, here we stand,
Met to do as Thou hast spoken,
And this child at Thy command
Now we bring to Thee, in token
That to Christ it here is given.
For of such shall be His Heaven.
Yes, Thy warning voice is plain,
And we fain would keep it duly,
He who is not born again,
Heart and life renewing truly,
Born of water and the Spirit,
Will My kingdom ne'er inherit."
Make it, head, Thy member now,
Shepherd, take Thy lamb, and feed it.
Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou,
Way of life, to Heaven oh lead it.
Vine this branch may nothing sever,
Grafted firm in Thee for ever.

Now upon Thy heart it lies,
What our hearts so dearly treasure,
Heavenward lead our burden'd sighs,
Pour Thy blessing without measure,
Write the name we now have given,
Write it in the book of Heaven.

A sure stronghold our Gad is He,
A t► usty shield and weapon ;
Our help He'll be, and set us free
From ev'ry ill can happen.
That old malicious foe
Means us deadly woe;
Arm'd with might from hell,
And deepest craft as well,
On earth is not his fellow.
Through our own force we nothing can,
Straight were we lost for ever;
But for us fights the proper Man,
By God sent to deliver.
Ask ye who this may be ?
Jesus Chri..t is He,
Of Sabaoth Lord,
Sale God to be adored—
His Kingdom ours abideth.
