She was ugly--sAe was blind
But her heart was soft as apple sauce
Oh, she was ever kind.

All, love without decay!

Alas, poor Granny Gray!
Her pastry was paradcd

That pastry ! no longer see,
That stall is in decay
For her heart is cold in death
Alas, poor Granny Gray!

But the memory Of my boyhood days
Must long be cherished here!
When each charm Of life is pass,
May memory fondly pay
A tribute of regret for her
Whose name was Granny Gray!

UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE.

ny BISHOP nEBER.
Beneath our feet, and DER our head,
Is equal warning given,
Beneath us lies the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven.
Death rides on every passing breeze.
He turks in every flower,
Each season has its own disease,
Its psrils, every hour
Our eyes have seen the rosy light,
Our youths soft checked decay,
And fate dcsccnds in sudden night,
On manhcod's middle day.
Our eyes have seen the steps of age,
Halt feeble towards the tomb;
And yet shall earth our hearts engage,
And dream Of days to come!
Turn, mortal turn, thy danger know,
Whcre'er thy footcan tread,
Tho earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee of her dead!
Turn, Christian, turn! thy soul apply,
To truths dkincly given;
1he bones that underneath thee lie,
nhall live for hell or heaven. 4.

THE TALBOT TREE.-The
talipottree is one Of the most
splendid productions Of Ccylon.
The body oftree is sixty or sew
ensy feet in height, and straight
as a ships mast, without a limb
or leaf until YOU reach the top,
where is an immense tuft of fan
leaves, SO large when spread,
each one may cover ten or
twelve men. TIE stalk or stem
AS there are no limbs, clasps the
body Of the tree, and inclines
outw ards, so that the long leaf
bends over in a graceful curve.
This vas, crown Of evergreen,
surrounding such a shaft, is Of
itself very grand; but there is
something still grander. When
the tree is about fifty years old
ii blossoms. In the cenire Of its
crown rises a cone seventeen
feet in height, which gradually
swells and enlarges. until. at
length it bursts with an explo-
sion like the sound Of cannon,
and a vas, conicai flower. fifteen
or twenty feet in height, and
ten or twelve in breadth, stands
exposed in almost incredible
magnlfcence. Ii is yellow and
formed of numberless small
blossoms, SO arranged on a giant
stem, and innumerable branch
cs or iassels, as to appear over
the elevated tuft of leaves, as
a gorgeous diadem on the head
of the queen Of the Forest
The tree blossoms but once and
then dies.

He then resumed his first position, that
the election held in July, in Mississippi,
was void in support of which position, he
argued that the Governor ofthat State had
no constitutional authority to issue his
writ for such election. On this point, he
went into an extended and very acute con-
stltutional argument; Of which shall not
now undertake to give you a detailed ac
count. 1t was one Of the most mastery

il shall be given TO the public, will be
found to bear me out in my estimate oil H..

matchless argument, at which he had ia
