Specimens of this kind of glass were brought
to England by Captain Henvoy, r. NJ, the quail
ty and distribution of the size in which are strik-
ingly beautiful. The total size is about one tw O.
tenths inches square, and the ground is of an amy
thyst hue. In the centre is device, consisting
of yellow circle, surrounded by light blue, ith
a bright red border, and on the four sides shoot
forth light blue rays, edged with white. Around
this, which is isolated, runs square ornament Of
bright yellow, divided into distinct parts, formed
by openings Oh each of the sides, and at the four
corners a beautiful device projects like leaf
formed of a succession of minute lines, green,
red, and white, the two last encircling the green
nucleus, which meets in common point towards
the base, and terminates in almost impercept-
BILE tenuity. The deIicacy of some of the lines
is truly surprising, and not less the accuracy with
which the patterns are executed; and the brillian-
cy of the coors is as remarkable as the harmony
maintained in their dispositions; art then much
more sudiously attended to, and far better under

SHORT COURTSHIP. MARRIAGE, &c.

An amusing incident in the way of a love and
marriage affair." took place, we understand, in
Clark street, in our village, on Saturday last. A
leckadelzical son of John Bull, who has been re-
siding IN the place and paying particular attention
to buxom Irish girl, for some time, made his
arrangements to consummate his happiness by
having the hymenial knot tied On that after
noon, he hired horse and buggy, and took his
intended to the house of friend on that street, to
have the marriage rites performed While prep
araons were going forward for the event, a ha
son of the Emerald Isle hearing of the circun,-
stance, and envying the happiness of the English
man, resolved to rob him of his intended wife,
and covert her to himself. Accordingly, putting
on his Sundays best, he Immediately repaired TO
the house of marriage, entered the room where
they were, and like bold knight of romance,
claimed the maiden as his property: telling the
English lover he must at once give up all claims;
at the same time taking possession Of his prize.
She, finding she had two strings to her bow, in
stead of one, and had occasionally, previously,
received visits from her countryman, had had an
itching to catch him; but to6ishness in never pop
ping the question, had induced her to take her
English lover rather than none. Finding her
neat lrlshnan now III earnest, after some short
explanation she consented to become hiss and
notwithstanding the protestaons Of him to whom
she first made the engagement, she soon
united to the Irishman in the presence of her dis
appointed Englshman. who, with sighs and
tears, was thus compelled to have his anripa-
tions nipped in the bud, after all the trouble,
lety, and expense of horse and buggy to bring
him to the threshold Of his happiness! The gal
liant Irshman, having secured his prize, we
derstand, however, SO far solaced him as TO apply
a salvo to his wounded feelings, by taking the
riding establishment off his hands, and paying the
bill he had been at; but he and his friends refused
longer to shelter the new bride and groom, and
they forced to leave for some other lodg-
ings, which we learn Immediately done, and
they drove off joyfulIy he exhibiting the truth of
the saying that
CA faint hear never won a fair LADY,
Whether our Englshman has become recon

courage and console himself that there is ve, as

ON EGYPT.

The discoveries recently made in the land OF
the Nile, come to us like revelations yelling up
from the dark d, pths Of oblivion. Proud of our
newborn freedom from the bonds of ignorance,
elated with our rapid advancement in the arts
and sciences, we fondy fancied that we had at
tanned height which would have rendered the
anclents dizzy to have even conceived. But our
pride is checked while contemplating this W on
drous land. We look down through the dark vista
of ages beyond the commencement of recorded
time, and find that many of our proudest achieve
ments are mere limitations, often poor and i'm
perfect, of people whose glory had passed ere
antiquity begun.
These observations were suggested by Mr..
Wilkinson's elaborate work on ''the manners and
customs of the ancient Egyptians" from which
we learn, that it was not in architectural and me-
chanical power alone that their genius was mani
tested, but in various processes in the arts. of
these we may mention, that they possessed the
art of engraving or sculpuripg hard stones, in a
manner which cannot but excite our wonder,
hieroglyphics being frequently cut into basal and
synte, to the depth ofmore than two inches.
Glass blowing was long thought to be a COM
paratvely modern invention, but instead of being
such, the Egyptians were undoubtedly acquainted
with it as early, at least, as the first Osirtasen,
upwards Of $500 years ago, as is proved by their
paintings, sculptures, and the specimens of glass
which have been found bearing inscriptions. In
the paintings of Benz. Hassan. executed in the
reign of the above monarch, we have figures Of
glass blowers engaged in their employment; and
Captain Henvoy, of the Royal Navy, found a
glass bead containing the name of monarch, who
lived 1900 years before Christ.
"Such was the skill of the Egyptians" says
Wilkinson, "in the manufacture of glass, and in
the mode of staining it of various hues, that they
counterfeited, with success, the amethyst and
other precious stones, and even arrived at an
excellence in the art, which their successors have
been unable to retain, and which European work
men are unable to initiate; for not only do the
colors of some Egyptian opaque glass offer the
most various devices on the exterior, distributed
with the regularity of a studied design, but the
same hue and the same device pass in right lines
directly through the substance. So that, in what

SUBTERRANEAN FoREsT.-An immense snbtrr-
ranean forest, of which even tradition preserves
no account, lies buried under part Of the fcrs
between Lincoln and Boston, although It's exs-
tence is almost unknown, except to the thinsy
scattered population of the district The soil
consists mainly Of rotten wood, mixed with
sort of earthly deposite, evidently left by the SUI
sidence of large body of water. On passing
lately ploughed piece, stranger is surprised hy
observing heaps of wood, many loads to the acre,
piled up over its surface, if crop of hinge
black logs had succeeded to the previous one Of
corn. These have been torn up by the plough,
and it is singular that after forty years of tiIlage
the yield OF those logs in many places continues as
great as ever. The occupiers ascrihe the pheno-
menon to the gradual rising of the forest, which
lies prosratcd foot or two under ground, though
it is probably caused by the sinking of the top
soil into boggy substratum, which is called the
sock. The trees force themselves up entire, an
nouncing their approach to the surface by the de-
cay of all yerdure above them. When farmer
observes this indication, he dios down and re-
moves the trees from it's bed Of centuries, and is
frequently well rewarded for his trouble. The
trees all oak, and are frequently of dimensions
which would almost stagger belief Some wears
ago the writer of this article one taken up
which contained no less than l440 cubic feet Of
timber; aid, so recently as the winter OF 1886,
he removed another, the bOle alone Of which con-
tanned nearly 1000 feet. The wood Of these gi-
gantic monarchs of the forest, when first barred,
is sodded with moisture and apparently rotten;
but. after short exposure to the air. becomes
hard that none but the most tempered tools will
touch it. 1t is nevertheless worked into rails and
fencing, because the grain is SO straight that it
rends like reed. Many gentlemen in the neigh
borhood, have few plain articles Of furniture
manufactured out of it, as matters of CURIOSITY, as
in time it becomes not only as hard, but as black
as ebony, and is capable of the highest polish.
Every tree is either plucked up from its roots,'r
snapped short about three feet from them; and I'll
appear to have fallen very much in the same way.
1t is probable that at some distant date an irruJ-
ton Of the sea may have done the havoc, aide,,
perhaps, by one of those tornadoes which even
now, in milder degree, are occasionally expert
