FULFILLMENT OF A PROPHECY.

In one of tho letters which the senior editor OF
the Savannah Republican is writing to his paper,
descriptive of scenes and events on his tour to
Europe, Egypt Syria, and Palestine, We find the
following extract giving an account of his visit to
Tyre, and showing the literal fuflment OF one of
Gods prophecies:
awe arrivedat Tyre early in the afternoon, and
surely no place can better correspond TO the des
cription Of it. Formerly insular, it has been con,
nected with the main land since the conquest OF
Alexander the Great, and the isthmus is still mar
rover than the site of the town, Notwithstanding
the accumulations of centuries. OF the ancient
town not vestlge remains. All is buried beneath
the sand, and several excavations in progress, ex
pose to Wow the substructions of ancient buildings
the piers and arches of an acqueduct, &C., but ev-
en- these remains are doubtless long posterior to
the era of the first Tyre. The present town is
miserable place, full of filth and wretchedness.-
The only thing within the walls is the remnants of
very fine church which has been identified as the
one in which Eusebius used to preach in the
third century. Several fishing nets, spread out to
dry, called to mind the prophecy" And will

THE JUDICIARY OF VERMONT.
No. 3.

Some question has been heretofore made in the
state as to an alteration of the judiciary system.
In order to Judge of the expodiency of change
il is necessary to inquire into the defects Of the
present system.
And first. The judges of the Supreme Court are
Judges of the County Court, and, usually when
cause is heard in the Supreme Court, the judge who
presided at the trial of it in the County Court, is
present and has a voice in deciding it.
And whether Judge having decided cause in
the County Court feels himself committed, ana per-
mits that decision to influence him in the Supreme
Court or not, suitors will believe that he $50 ntu-
enced
All chance for suspicion should be removed
The losing party, when the Judgment of the Goun
" Court is affirmed having that impression, the e-
feet is the same whether it be true or false. 1t may
be tnic The best and wisest of men may be, and
often are, influenced in that way.
Decisions in the County Court are made in the
hurry OF jury trial, without time for much consld-
Grafton, they and must oe but the first impress
ion Of the judge, and should be received by men
unbiased and possessed Of no preconceved opn-
ion in the case
There is an improperly in having decision re-
viewed by the man who made it.
Secondly 1t too expensive. There are TWEEN.
ty-eight assistant judges Of the County Court who
must all be paid
The mere suggestion that they may be dispensed
with will starte many
1t will be said in general terms tha. there is very
much for them to do. But let each one examine
for himself and see what it is, and if the State can
not do without them.
Third. The business cannot well be done under
the present system. '1s true that partial and TEN
porary remedies can he found without a change Of
system. But some must suffer inconvenience, at
least, by their use.
Whereas by change the evil may be perma.
nenty and entirely cured.
But what is the proposed change? The answer
is,
Let there be three Judges of the Supreme Court
only.
Let there be only three Judges of the County
Court.
Let each of the six Judges be paid an equal
sum, and that sum the same that Judge of the
Supreme Court now receives.
Then in the place of thirty three judges which
we now have, we shall have six And that six will
be able to do the business and all of the business
of the courts with greater ease 10 themselves and
more advantage TO the state than the thirty three
can now do that portion of the business which they
find themselves able to do.
Let each ofthe three Judges fthe county cour,
Tor circuit judges be Chancellor in his judicial cir
cult. JURIsCoNsULTUs.

ExTRAoRDrNARY RISE AND FALL OF LAKE On
TARIo.-At the commencement Of the 18th of Sep
tember the waters of Lake Ontario commenced a
series of changes which continued for "a hours
About every fifteen minutes during that time, the
water receded from the Northern shore, to the ex-
tent of 26 inches in depth, and at the end of that
time, again returned, thus forming four regular
tides every hour This flow and subsistence com
menced in the night, and terminated in the night.
At CobourG, Port Hope, and for fifty miles high
er up the Lake, this phenomenon was noticed and
created some fears as it was by some attributed to
the effect of an earthquake. A steamer grounded
near Port Hope, but was released by the flow of
tide at the succeeding influx of waters. My in
fornant who was at Cobonrg at the time, remarks
that the beach presented an extraordinary appear
ance The change commenced in the night
and terminlted in the night, having continued
throughout one whole day, affording the means Of
accurate observation. The Sun was upon the f.
quinoctal Line that day, but no wind storm was
noticeable. Some rain fell that morning. i expect

AN OLD MANS COLLOQUY,
nv MISS ELIZA d. W. PARSONS


Is We are faded and fading, old Jeremy Treat
remember me WE'LL WHEN , nor up nor down street
shoulders, full chests, and dark gistening locks
In powerful voices out.gusling with glec,
And hearts like the seagales, as wild and as tfee.'
I'VE are faded and fadng, old Timothy Brown!
We once were the smartes of all this smart town =
We would rise in the morn with the young ruby sun,
Aud toll through the day till its wilderness grew dun,
Then dance at the quitting till midnight and stay
With the girls loved hest Till the streaking of day.
Elastic in body and supple of limb,
We could chop-we could dgwe could ea-we could swim
" We are faded and fading old Jeremy Treat.
Who once could our vigor and pus .ance beat
In manhood maturing, Love took from our sides
Two ribs, and transformed them to beautiful brides;
Then when the prattlcs came toddling' along,
ur hearts grow courageous, our 'now waved strongi
Our steps fixed the frmor rock and on sod,
Our axes flew swifer beneath the gccn wood"
" We are faded and finding, old Timothy Brown!
We mounted rifles, and Joined the bithe bands
That drove the fell panther and wolf from our lands;
We pahed the dense forests, and traverscd their gcns
And battlcd fierce bears in their wndowless densi-
We hunted the partridge that whirred in the brake,
And tore the rock-fsh from his home in the lake."
We are faded and fading old Jeremy Treat!
Our eishty-fve years we have numbered ,mplste;
Round necks, and temples like thin weaths of
The sparkles that danced in eloquent eyes
oa ayS S aS% s a1s a sI'
From lips that our ivory teeth overspread"
"we are faded and fding old Timothy Brown!
Complaining, and signing, and toering, down
That fed and clothed us, yea US our birth,
Is opening her breast to receive again,
As in her kind burrows she nantes the grain:
That grain shall upsprng in spkelets and flowers,
And we shall revive with new senses and powers"
"We faded and fading, old Jeremy Treat
Decay is Just graphing Le's tremulous seat
Our shtouds all woven, and lie in the store,
Our cofin-boards piled at the carpenters door;
The sexton is wating-he smithy has made
To scoop death-pts shovel and spade
The last grass is weaving green knots on those beds
The last flowers waving above them their heads"
We faded and finding, old Timothy Brown!
Behind the tall mountain has gone down
Dim cleaning succeeds to our beautiful day
We are wearied with ife-with its labor and play
Its chace we we drank to the dregs, satisfied
With the bisses and sorrows commixed in Its tide
We yearn o throw off these old relics of flesh,
And leave the bright world to the young and the fresh
We are faded and fading, old Jeremy Treat
Good night, good night till awaking we meet,
For morning is coming-a glorious sun
viii shine infant existence begun,
Far away-far away in some holier sphere,
Whose soil eer moistened with misery's tear,
Whose gales bear their pinons a sgh
Where sin cannot blossom and joy cannot die
Good night"

COMMON SCHOOLS.

We are requested to suggest to the members Of
the House of Representatives the Importance OF
having returns of the statistics of common schools
under the act Of 1913, made from every town in
the State, as as practicable; and that in cas-.
es in which town clerks have failed to send them
it is desirable that they be immediately reminded
by members, of their neglect and requested to for
ward the returns to the Governor, through the mail
without delay.

In the new Constitution of Texas, it is proposed
to incorporate this novel feature, that each citizen
ofthe new State shall hold his farm, of certain
size, free from all claims and legal process. OF
course if man wants credit it must be had on
some other basis than the land he owns. Such a
provision, it is thought, will have good effect by
the strong inducements it holds out to every citizen
TO become interested in the soil.
