Ory has related to me during the visits he has made here :: when expecting to go to Spain he heard that the Duke d'Alba had sent to sell a plate to the amout of 10, 900 crowns, he called on him, aud said that he did not offer him any of the money he, was, taking 10 the king.of Spain, that prince being too much in. want of it but that he begged the duke would at once accept thousand louis d'ors, and afterwards tie forty thousand crowns, which he knew How to get back from his catholic majesty. The duke re- piled, that he vaouldabe very sorry to ask the king his master for money. at a time like the present; and that he would most willingly give him some, if he had it :, that at all events, he felt hurt at the offer of MT.

From he FOREST SANCTUARY, POEM 6v Mrs. HEMANs, recently published in Boston. A fearful thing that love and death may dwell In the same world !-She faded on-and I- Blind to the last, there needed death to tell My trusting soul that she could fade to die; Yet, ere she parted, had marked change But it breathed hope-twas beautiful, though strange: A Something of gladness in the melody, or her low voice, and in her words a flight Of airy thought-alas too pcrilously bright ]! And a clear sparkle n her glance, yet wild, And quick, and eager, like the flashing gaze Of some all wondering and awakening child, That first the giories of the earth surveys. How could it thus deceive me !-she had worn .1 ..i.. IF. .. .. Around her, like the dewy msts of morn. A peasive tenderness through happiest days. And soft world of dreams had seern'd to lie Still in her dark, and deep, and spiritual eye. And could hope in that strange fire ;--she

 Ofvanity and lightnessn J3 A star, to gaze on whose bright crown, We wait until the sun goes down, And find, when it has OCT us shone, No warmth in all it's brightness. And what is Friendship? That false fow'r Which spreads its leaves at daylight's hour,
 And closes them at eve; Opening its petals to the light, Sweet-breathing while the sun shines bright But shut to those who, midst the night Of doubt and darkness, grieye. And what is Fame the smile that stays, The cup in which sweet poison plays;
 At best, the Aowery wreath, That twip'd around the victim's head When, midst sweet Aow'rs around it spread, And ssharps and timbrels' sounds, 'tis led
 Melodiously, to death. And what are Hopes Gay butterflies That on the breath of fancy rise,
 Where'er the sun- beam lures them; For ever, ever on the wing, ... MockingS jour faint steps following. And if at last caught, perishing
 In the grasp that secures them., And our affections, what are they? Oh! blossoms smiling on the spray,
 All beauty, and all sweetness But which the canker may lay bare, Or rude hands from the branches tear, 5. Or bIighting winds leave whitening there,
 Sad types of mortal feetness. And what is Life itself? A sail With sometimes an suspicious gale,
 And some bright sunbea,ns round it, But oft'ner amidst iempests cast, The low'ring sky, the bowling blast,T And 'whelm'd beneath the wave at last,
 Where never plunmet sounded. 4 -..a~. H. N.

 CURIOUS ExHIBETIoN.--On n entering Moe- ana, we were witnesses to rather curious exhibition. should first mention, that the Persians are in the habit of sleeping on flat roofs oftheir houses, during the sum- mer months. Day was just breaking when we arrived. As the houses of the poor are generally not more than eight feet high, we had full view of nearly the whole popu- lation in bed many were asleep some few were awake others were getting out of bed, to make their morning toilettes. The scene was highly entertaining, and brought to mind the story of Le Diable Boiteux, unroofing the houses for the grat- ification of Don Cleofas. Jour- neg from India to England.
 A RUSSIAN AMAZON On dismounting at village near Darkee, my stirrup was held by fair and handsome-looking per- son, who proved to be female. Admira- ton of military life had induced her to deprive herself of her fair tresses, and to wear the dress of a man, preparatory as she said, to offering her services to the Emperor as a soldier. Hearing was on the way, she told me that, if she had been a little older, she e'would have accompanied me. I told her that she would be reject ed, from her feminine appearance; but she said she would cut off her breasts, when eversfhey were too large for conceaIment. On taking leave of this little amazon, I gave her an old aiguillette, which she ac- cepted with great delight, and strutted off with it on her shoulder, to the no small a. mazement of the villagers.-Ibid.

nr. MELLEN, Sir--the cause of humanity siessassds Of me tn give the following state nent: My wife had for six years been in a decline and pronounced by her Physicians tn be in consumptiye state. and was attended by a severe pain in her side, with Cough & difficulty of breathing. She was reduced so low as to he unable to get from her bed to the fire without aid. All hopes of her recovery had long been given up. <, In this situation, was prevailed upon, as a last possible resort, vet without any hopes of success, to make aIsc of" Anderson's Cough Drops." She com mcnced the use of them in February last and after using two bottles, to the astonshment of all, in the month of May following the health of my wife was entirely restored, and since which, her health and strength were perhaps never better. Feeling deep interest that the public in general may resort to the same remedy, when their friends and relatives are apparently, or evidently on the brink of the Yon are at liberty to publishthe above.

 This is to certify that the subscriber was brought very low by splitting blood, attended with cough and catarrh. and that nothing afforded me real relief until commenced ta- king Anderson's Cough Drops, the use of which were the means in the hand of God of restoring me again to a comfortable state of health. -... -4
 And do further certify that the wife of MT. Nathan Huntington, living in the same place was afflicted with very bad cough for num- her of years, and that in 1928 she was redu- e4:d so low that it was thought she must soon fe in her grave, as she was scarcely able to sralk from her bed to the fire, when she com menced taking Andersen's Cough Drops, the t1se of which, in short time SO far restored her, that she was soon able 10 do good days work. l can cheerfully recommend this med seine to the public.
