and to witness his triumphant ascension. The
cords which confined the wings of the birds being
cut consecutively, they rose, and as thew one by
one stretched the ropes tight which bound them
to the curious anchor below, the anchor was at

a ragged, miserable, dwarfsh character-a writer
for the Metropolitan, over the signature OF En-

There were two Reverend gentlemen present, and

the anointed, the thrice sancfed, the chosen
guides of a Christian People-they at that mo-
ment blushetl--they wondered whether it was
compatible with the spirit of the principle OF he
ligion, that they were called upon TO celebrate,
for them to raise the gddy cup, and add other
victims to the bowl. But the toast was drank,
and one of these Reverend gentlemen did address
the company, who saw him but through Keeling
eyes, and heard him but with besotted ears
