A gorgeous temple then covered the
spot. It was a landmark to the returning
mariner. who shouted as he saw It from
afar, and turned his prov TO the welcome
shore. II was a gathering place for the
cities ofthe mountain and the plain, who
met in common worship around IFS altar,
and share the consecraled victim IN IFS
shade. Here came the warrior before he
had dipped bis sword in blood, to pray
for the guidance and the protection ofthe
father Of gods. And here, too, he came
when the strife was ended, and raised his
hymn ofvictory to the god in whose name
it had been won. Conquerors Of the
world, and thou, TOO, cOnqueror and lord
of all but thine own ambition, could ye
but see these moss grown stones,
piled by unskilful hands, and the rough
walls Of this humble convent, and recog-
nize in these, all that remains of the
scene of your glories and your triumphs,
what would ye think of the Immortality

a milder glory fingers around the slope
on our right. On the brow of that bald
hill stood Tusculum, and within its shade,
the lavorte retreat Of Cicero. Il was
there that the Roman sage sought relief
from the cares Of the Senate House and
the Forum, and gave itselfup to the sub.
lime meditations Of his Tusculan ques-
tons. Not tree shades the spot. 1t
sweIs rounded and bare. The fierce
sunlight and rushing tempest play on it,
at will. A few arches, vault, ivy, and
moss; and this is all of Cicero.
And Rome still stands, changed, but
scarcely humbled, amid these solitudes,
of her own creation. Twice has the will
derness bloomed around her, like the
rose: twice has desolation returned TO her
pleasant places. She has governed by
the sword, and stern and unrelonting was
her sway. She has governed by religion,
and gloomy and jealous was her dominion.
And now from that shattered throne she
still lifts up her voice, and wherever the
glories of the past are hallowod, wherev-
er the powers of the mind are revered,
wherever the eloqucnce of the marble
or of the canvass are felt, that a voice
ponetrates, and hundreds Of thousands,
the descendants of those whose blood
once stained her car oftriumph, tho chill
dren of land where her name as word
Of terror, was ever heard, crowd around
her footstool and bow mute before those
eternal records OF intellectual and moral
greatness. The future-ah! who can
read tho changes that lie hid beneath its
sombre veil. Yet who can look upon
Rome-Eeel. all that she has been al thai
she Island not breathe a silent prayer
that those changes, be they what they
may, may still leave her the throne oI
art, the guide, the insPirer, the instrnc'

DEATH NOT A PAINFUL Process. 1t
has been observed. that many commit
suicide from the notion that death from
natural causes is attended with consider
able agony. This is the generally receiv-
ed notion, but it il an erroneous one.
Those who have often Witnessed the act
of dying allow that it is not a painful
process. In some delicate and irritable
persons, kind Of struggle is indeed
sometimes excited when respiration be-
comes difficult; but more frequently the
dying obviously suffer nothing, and OK.
press no uneasiness. Those who die Of
chronic diseases the gradation is slow
and distinct. Consdmpiive patients are
sometimes in dying state for several
days; they appear at such times to suffer
little, butlanguish for complete dissolu-
ton; nay, VIC have known them express
great uneasness when they have been
recalled from the commencement Of in
sensibility by the cries of their friends,
or tho effort Of the attendant to alleviate
pain. In observing persons in this situa-
tion, we have always been impressed
with an idea, that the approach Of natu-
raj death produces a sensation similar to
that Of falling asleep. The disturbance
Of respiration is the only apparent source
Of unoasiness to the dying, and sensibility
seems to bo impaired, just in proportion
to the decrease Of that function. Be-
sides, both the impressions Of present OBJ.
jects end those recalled by memory, are
influenced by the extreme debility of the
patient whose wish is for absolute rest.
We could never see tho close of life un-
der these circumstances; without reco-
lecting these beautiful lines of Spen-
cer:--
Sleep after toll, port after stormy Goas,
Ease aitSr war, death after life doth greatly
please.

q CAN EAT No MORE PUDDING. :


A lady in the south of England made a
practice Of collecting all the little boys Of
the parish once a year upon her lawn, and
stuhing them with beef and plumb pud-
ding. One time towards the close Of
the entertainment, when she was walking
around to see how all went on, and TO ask
how they were satisfied with her bounty,
she found the greater part full aud con-
tent But at last she came to little fell
low upon whose plate therc was large
lump ofthe third helping Of pudding, and
he was blubbering and crying as piteous-
ly as though he had not had meal for
four and-twenty hours. ''What is the
matter with you my little mani" asked
the lady; "has any one dared to ill.use
you in my presence2" The urchin blub-
bered more desperately than before, and
at length faItered out: 81 can cat no
mole puddingl'' and he cried more bitter
terly than before. The lady patted him
on the head, saying "do NOT cry, my good
little man; for il you aroSnot able to eat
your pudding, you can put it in your
pocket" A more violent burst followed
this kindly advice, and at the end Of ii
came out the words, nBut my pockets

TARTAR WOMEN. OR THE TIA
BLES TURNED.

Passing up the de6le, we observed Tar
tar women creeping among the tombs
and ruined mosques, in snow white wells,
which made them appear as so many
ghosts, sometimes covering all their face
except the eyes, and others conceaIing
the whole of the head As if their wells
were not a sufficient screen, no sooner do
they behold man than they hang down
their heads, and often endeavor 10 get
out Of sight by running away.
An English servant, observing this aver
sion in the Tartar women TO being seen,
deemed it an act ofrudeHess togive them
the trouble Of hiding ther faces and run
ming away on his account: therefore, when
ever he encountered any of them, he used
to cover his face, and take TO his heels to
conceal himself in the first place that pre-
sented itself This passed unnoticed for
some time, but at length the Tartar wo-
men, struck with the singularity Of see
ing a man always avoid them, and endea-
vor TO conceal himself from their obser.
vation, let fall portion of their wells
when they next met him, which only caus.
ed him to run faster than before. This
excited their curiosity to such degree,
that at length they fairly hunted him, and
after following him in parties to his hi
ding place, with their wells of, were re.
solved to see the man who, for the first
time, at the approach ola woman, conceal
ed himself, and actually demanded an ex.
planation.

THE WIIIGs AND THE LITTLE BOYS
OF HAMERsVILLE.
Como all you good friends of old Tippy,
III tell you tale that is trus,
About sad accident happened
The friends of Old Tippecanoe.
Twas a. we were going to Batavia,
In advance of the buckeye canoe,
We spicd high up on a long pole,
The figure of Tippecanoo.
We thought we must do old Tip honor,
AS all honest wings ought to do;
sOwe pulled off our hats and cried out,
4" Huzza for old Tippocanoe."
Our driver not used to such lading,
And horses all being true blue,
They all took alarm at our Idol,
And run of f.om Tippecanoe.
And while tho horses were running
l tell you no word that's not true
Tho lttle Van boys of the village
Cried, "go it, Old Tirpecance,"
But o, the destruction Of bottles,
Hard cider and gingerbread too,--
The way they flew out of the wagon
Was sin to old Tippecanoe.
And still the darn'd horses kept running;
1t seemed 10 destruction they'd go:
Which made us poor wings think ofpraying,
Instead ofsinging old Tippecanoe.
But after long chase we brought up
Against large Hickory that grew,
On which was inscribed in Iargs letters,
"Cant come, it old Tippecanoe,"
So when we all got up together,
We looked rather bad, it is true,
But we concluded to mend our wagon,
And charge tito TippccanOe.
And when we got down to Bethel,
We told few lies it is true,
How the men all run out with pistols.
And fred on Tippecanos.
But now will tell you the truth sir,
Just keep it between me and you,
We had drank rather deep of hard cider,
In honor of fTippecanue.
Had tnot been for our good driver,
A Democrat honest and true,
Perhaps we'd all went TO the Dragon,
Huzzaiug for Tippscanoe. X.
