WONDERFUL UNDERTAiING.— Captain HENDERSON
started yesterday morning at day-break from Teignham, Herts,
for a stake of 240 guineas, to ride four horses 64 miles in four
hours, over 12 measured miles of ground, part of which was
turf.—The Captain is an intrepid steeple chase rider, and al-
though this match is inferior to that performed by Milton, the
Morse dealer, in 1810, the odds were 6 and 7 to 4 against him.
—He started upon a bay blood mare, and did the 12 miles of
ground as follows :

The match was decided as lost by the referee's watch by two
minutes. The-rider would have won, but from the time lost in
mounting the third horse, which was not very quiet, though the
fastest of the three when off. The Captain seemed more mor-
tified than fatigued at losing the match.
A CRICKET .M.ATcri was played on Finkly Down, near
Andover, on Monday last, between eleven msmbers of the
Andover Club ancl eleven of King's Somborne, which is not
yet decided. 'When they left off' play, Andover in the two inn-
ings had gained 151 runs, and Somborne 104. The latter have
four wickets to go
.down and 47 runs to get.
A wretched artist, who, thortght.himself' an excellent painter,
was talking pompously about decorating the ceiling of his saloon
—" I am whitewashing it, and in a short time I shall begin
painting." " I think you had better," replied one of his au-.
dience, " paint it first, and whitewash it afterwards."
When MILTON was blind, he married a shrew. The Duke
of BUCKINGHAM called her a rose. " I am no judge of
colours (replied Mr.r.Tox), and it may be so, for I feel the
thorns .daily."
Some one writing against gravity, says—" The gravest beast
is an ass ; the gravest bird is an owl ; the gravest fish is an oyster :
and the gravest man is a fool."

- TO-MORROW.
How sweet ió the heart is the thought of to-morrow,
When Hope's fairy pictures bright colours display ;
How sweet, when we can from futurity borrow
A balm for the griefs that afflict us to-clay !
If wearisome sickness should teach us to Linguis
For health, and the comforts it e'er will impart,-
The hope that to-morrow may le.ssen the anguish,
Alleviates the pain, and enliVens the he-t !
When travling alone, quite forlorn, tinbefriended;
Sweet the hope that to-morroW my wand'rings will cease
That at home, then, With care, sympathetic attended,
I'll rest unmolested, and slumber in peace !
Or, when from the friends of my heart long divided •
The fond expectation, with joy how replete ;
That from far distant regions, by Providence guided.,
To-morrow will see us most happily iilect !
When six days of labour each ether sunceedin,t,
With hurry and toil have my spirits opprest
What pleasure to think, as the last is receding,
To-morrow will be a sweet Sabbath of rest !
And when the vain shadows of time are retiring,
When life is fast fleeting, and death is in sight,
How pleas'd the true Christian, exulting. aspiring;
Beholds a to-morrow of endless delight !
The wicked then finds not a joyous to-morrow,
Though glutted with all that vile dust can desire,
Poor wretch ! he will feel, to his heart-rending sorrow,
That all his delights with to-day will expire !
When Death the frail thread of existence shall sever,
And Man be disrob'd of his garment of clay;
His spirit survives, and to-morrow for ever,
To HIM will be lost in ETEP.NAL TO-DAY !
