THE CORONATION.

Henry the Eighth of England, seems
to have been man not eslly turned from
his purpose, particularly when it mvolv-
ed some churIIsh passion. Morality, re-
ligion, and law, were ',riiles light as air.
when they stood between him and his de-
sires. With untiring perseverance did
he pursue his object of being divorced
from his wife, Catharine of CASTLE, and
overcoming all opposition and delay,
finally effected his purpose, through the
fundamentally of Cranmer, and drove the

der notice by Y. A. Etzer, who, by the
means of some very simple machinery,
has made the alternating perpendicular
motion of ship, by the power of the
wave, subsurvient to the horizontal mo-

the application of this power is thus de-
scrihed:
TO conceive how this power can be
brought into action, it Is necessary
to know, that whatever height wave

water below, further than a depth equal

the most simple application Of the power,

THE EXECUTION

In grim silence, and leaning on his
sword, the eXccuiioncr stood upon the
scatiod.-The mayor and aldermen of
London, with three of the kings minis.
ters, were there TO witness the catastrophe.
There stood Anne Boleyn, surrounded by

death beside her, but her cheek blanched
not. nor did her voice faller. She spoke
mildly of her own fate, and of the king in
kindness.

The manner in which Pope, the great
English poet, was preserved by tho saga
city of his dog is truly remarkable. This
animal which was CALLED Marquis, could
never agree with lavorte servan, of his
masters; he constantly growIed when
near him, and would often show his
teeth whenever this servant approached.
Although the poet was singularly attached
to his dog, which was spaniel of the larg.
est species, yet on account Of his extreme
neatncss, which he pushed almost to ex-
cess, hc would never allow him to remain
in his chamber Nevertheless in spite of
positive orders, the spaniel would fire..

The ceremony was over; that little
brief moment to which she had looked
forward with so much anxiety, and which
passed whilst she scarcely realized its
presence, so giddy was she with the bril-
liant scene, the imposing ceremony. and
the streams OF adulation that poured into
her ear from every side. The king and
queen withdrew. followed by the ladies'
and gentlemen of the court, and the MI
merous spectators gathered themselves up
and departed. Thus from a simple maid
en- of the court, Anne became queen over
4 great people; the idle of a monarch's
heart, and the admired object of nations
homage.

Cause of Mans Vicl.clncsr,

Man is frequently SO wicked. only be-
cause he always feels himself interested
in being so; let him be more enlightened
and more happy, and he will necessarily
become better. All equitable govern
mcn,, vigilant administration, will pre-
sently ill the state with honest citizens ;
it will hold forth to them present reasons,
real and palpable, to be vriuous; it will
foster them with lis care 1t will allure
them by the assurance of their own pecu-
liar happiness.
The vicious and wicked are so COM
mon upon the earth, so pertnacious IN
their evil courses, so attached TO their ir-
reguarilies, on v because there are but
few governments that make men feel the
advantage of being just, honest and bene.
voenti or the contrary there is hardly
any place where the most powerful inter-
interests do not solicit him to crime bv
iavoring the propensities of a vicious or
ganization, which nothing has attempted
TO recilly or lead towards virtue. A sa-
wage, who in his horde knows not the
value of money, certainly would not com
nit crime; if transplanted into civilized
society, he will presently learn To desire
it; will make enor, TO obtain it, and, if
he can, without danger, finish by stealing
it, above all if he had not been taught to
respect the property of the beings who en-.
vlron him. The savage and the child
ale precisely in the same stalc it is the
negligence Of society, of those interested
with their education, that render both the
one and the other wicked.
The son of a noble from his infancy
learns to desire power; a, ripper age, he
becomes ambitious if he has then the
address to insinuate himself into favor,
he becomes wicked, and he NAV be so
with IMMUNITY. it is not, therefore, Ma
ture that makes man wicked; they are
his institutions that determine him to vice

had been fixed for that sacrifice to be con-
summated, and the unhappy youth sought
a last interview with the mistress of his
heart, who was thus to be rudely torn
from him by the hand of power.
When Anne raised her eyes and met
his ardent gaze, deep blush suiIused her

happier hours, n re(reshsng ofswect mem

ness, and bitter complaining of his hard
lot

Of the hour, 'let us fly from this tyranny

flowers Of life together You always
loved France, sweet Anne, and we can
find happy home among her bright val

NO, Edward, 1t is impossible. The

THE RAINBOW.

That lie on my heart like the dew on the flowers,
Or ramblc took one bright afternoon,
When my heart was az light as "A blossom in June
The green earth was moist with the late fallen
showers;
Tho breeze huttered down and blew open the
flowers,
While single white cloud to is haven of rest
On the white wing of peace foated off in the west.
As threw back my tresses to catch the cool breeze
That scattered the ran-drops and dimpled the seas
Far up the blue shy fair rainbow unrolled
Its soft tinted pinions of purple and gold;
Twas born in moment, yet, quick as it, birth,
1t had stretched to the utmost ends of the earth.
And, fair as an angel it floated all free,
With wing on the earth and wing on the sen.
How calm was the ocean how gentle its swell
Like n woman's soft bosom, it rose and it fell,
While the light sparkling waves, stealing laugh

When they saw the fair rainbow knclt down to
the shore;

Yet felt the spirit Of worship was there,
And bent my young head in devotion and love-
Meath the form of the angel that iloated above.
How wide waa the sweep Of ts beautiful wings
How boundlcss its circle how raIiaNt its rings

Whole volumes of thought on its unwrittcn leaves,
When the folds Of the heart in moment unclose.

And thus, when the rainbow had passed from the

The thoughts it awokc were too deep to pass by;

All au,tering with pleasure, aud llutterlng with

But shortens the links in life's mystical chain;
know that my form, like that bow from the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave

Depend Upon TourseT-The success

ANNE EOIETS,
A TALE OF TIE SIXTEENTH cENrUR,
TIE LOVERS.

Within one Of the deep dingy windows
Of an apartment of the royal palace of
England, sat one Of the ladies of the
Court. Her beautiful proportional head
reclined in sadness on her hand, and the
light Of those brilliant eyes, now fixed
and downcas. in meditation, was now hid
by long silken lashes. All =! how dan.
gerous to the Cavaliers of those days, was
the raising of those pcnciled lashes, and
the melting soltness Of the deep blue orbs
beneath ! 1t was Anne Boleyn, the love-
Hest and mos. graceful damsel of Hen
rey's court. Twenty-Five summers had
passed lightly over her head, many Of
which were spent in the sunny climes Of
France; and those childish beauties which
gained her the favor Of two successive
queens, had now bloomed and ripened
into a degree of personal loveliness which
had won for her more 1attering-bul
more dangerous favor.
A young man dressed III the quaint fash
ion of the times, and of noble hearing,
had entered the apartment, and now stood
within few PAGES, unperceived by the
pcnsvc beauty. He gazed upon her
with evident admiration, and the mute elo.
qucncc Of his dark eye, told of deeper
feelings not unmngled with sorrow.
Edward, Lord Persey, was youth of
much promise, and one of the haughtiesl.
and yet most polished and elegan, of the
courtiers who surrounded Henry in the
earlier years CT his reign, when the mon
arch's character was that of martial
Prince; and his court was employed in
achieving those elegant gaitcs, and gal
liant enterprises, which long after lived in
tho memory of his people, and served
partially to obscure many Of those dark
spots which dishonored his later years.
Percy was the son OF the earl of North
cumberland. one of the most powerful no
bles of England, and afterwards, when
he came 10 be earl on the death of his faith
er, was the person chosen to arrest the eel
brated Cardinal Woolsey.
At the time our story introduces him,
he was the lover of Anne Boleyn, and his
merits were not unapprecia,ed by the
courtly maid. She had promised to be.
come his wife, but other and higher
prospects had opened to her vision, vani.
" and ambition was stirred up in her DO.
som, and crowns and thrones and queen.
~ d'gni'les won upon her fancy. Her
attractions had gained her a noble lover,
and for him was she about 10 sacrifice the
affections Of her youth. She disclosed
to Henry her engagement to Percy. and
