DESCRIPTION OF CALCUTTA.

Calcutta, when seen from the south, on which
side it is built, round two sides of great open
plain, with the Ganges on the west, is very
noble city; with tall and stately houses, orna-
lnented with Grecian pillars, and each for the
most part surrounded by little apology for
garden. The churches are not large, but very
neat and even elegant buildings, and the gov
eminent house is, to say the least of it, more
snowy palace than London has to produce
These are, however, the front lines behind
them ranges the native town, deep, black and
dngy, with narrow, crooked streets, huts of
earth baked in the sun, or of twisted bamboos,
interspcrsed here and there with ruinous brick
bazars, pools of dirty water, cocoa trees, and lit
tie gardens and a few very large, very fine, and
generally very dirty houses Of Grecian architect
ure, the residence Of wealthy natives. There are
some mosques of pretty architecture, and very
neatly kept, and some pagodas, but mostly ruin
GUS and decayed the religion Of the people being
chiefly conspicuousin their worship ofthe Gang
os, and IN some ugly painted wooden or plaster
idols with all manner of heads and arms, which
are set up in different parts of the city. Fill
up this outline with crowd Of people in the
streets, beyond any thing to be seen even in
London, some dressed in tawdry silks and bro
cadcs, more in white cotton garments, and
most of all black and naked, except scanty
covering round the waist besides figures of
religious mcndicants, with no clothing but their
long hair and boards in elf locks, their faces

POETRY.
THE CoTTER's HOME.


Who hath his home in a rural GLADE,
And his evening seat in sweet-brier shade
With verdant fields and blooming flowers,
FOR MS morning walk and evening hours.
And with all these, a cherub son,
And mueh-loved, smiling, devoted one;
At either hand, with him to rove,
Thro' the fields, the garden, and the GROVE
Whate'er his humble fortune be,
Enjoys earth's purest felicity.
Oh! who that hath tasted this, would not
Exchange for the cotter's humble lot,
Those airy nothngs, which engage
A cit, and form his equipage
Who would not exchange the baubIes bright
That coldly glitter in city's night,
For those bright stars that deck the dome,
And twinkle in joy DER the cotters home?
Peace and contentment there alone,
And tranquility, sit on their triple throne.
See how the birds fit round and round,
While the lambkns over the pasture bound !;
List to the mock-brd's lay of love,
And to the sparrow's chirp in the lilac grove
How sweetly, with their humble lay,
The cotter's caro- those birds repay
For no archer arrow have they' fear,
Nor missiles of cruel urchins, here
AS they perch at will on the altbea spray,
And sing the evening hour away.
If nature hath, in her wide domain,
One favorite spot whore she loves to reign,
IT'S the cotter's bower, with his fields and
groves,
And fragrant flowers, and Sylvan loves,
Where she sits and tunes her evening Tyre,
AS tranquility and peace inspire;
lis the rural glade, with its wood-notes wild,
Where dwells her favorite happy child;
Where stands the lowly, humble dome =
The cotter's and contentment's home

OLD ENGLISH EPITAPHS.

There is some bitterness in the following,
copied from a tombstone at Pentonville:
Death takes the good-too good on earth to
stay,
But leaves the bad-too bad to take away.
A soldier died suddenly in Hampshire,
from drinking small beer after a march, and
this is his epitaph:
Here sleeps in peace Hampshire grenadier,
Who caught his death by drinking cold small
beer;
Soldiers be wise from his untimely fall,
And when you re hot drink strong, or none at all.

How TO PREACH. "Ithink truly" says
DR.. Owen, " that no man breaches that SER
mon well to others, that he does not first
preach to his own heart. He who doth not
feed on, and digest, and thrive by what he
prepares for his people, he may give them
poison as far us he knows; for, unless he
finds the power of it in his own heart, he
cannot have any ground Of confidence, that
it will have power in the hearts of others.
1t is an easier thing TO bring our heads to
preach, than our hearts to preach. To
bring our heads to preach, is but to fill our
minds and memories with some notions of
truth Of our own or other men, and speak
them out to give satisfaction to ourselves
and others; this is very easy. But to bring
orS hearts to preach, is to be transformed
into the power of these truths or TO find
the power of them both before, in fashion
ing our minds and hearts, and in delivering
Of them, that we may have benefit; and to
be acted with zeal for God, and compassion
10 the souls Of men,"

"FoRTY" A writer in the Atheneum, ur.
der the head g Biblical Criticism has some
curious observations on the word "forty,'' az
used in the scriptures. He observes that this
numeral, which occurs so frequently, and in
places where its introduction is nanifestly at
variance with passages that preeede and follow
| it, is in the east constantly used as general
term, implying many" or an indefinite mum
| ber as we use the words score,' and'' dozen
or two.' ruined palace at Persepolis is call.
ed " Cselmiminar," or the forty pillars
Though it has but nineteen standing, and when
perfect had two hundred and sixty The Arabs
also use one thousand and one in similar may
ner. Thus Moses was in the mount forty"
days means many days. The Israelites lived
many, not forty" years in the wilderness
This meaning explains numerous difficulties in
scripture history, and Persians, Arabs and Turks
still use the term forty" in this sense.
