A CoNDoR.-We learn from the New
ark Advertiser that fine specimen OF tins
bird, the vulture Of tn Andes, has been
exhibited in that city. 1t was taken up
on the Amazon river about six months
since, beng then quite young, and is the
property of MIR. Jefferson Winchell. -
This specimen oil the most ferocious OF
the carniverous birds is now about the
size OF the American Eagle, which IS be-
low The average ofiis species. The threat
and head are naked and OF gaudy red,
and round the neck is sort OF ruff. The
feathers of the body are OF dusky white,
and the wings, which must be some six
feet in length when spread out, are part
Iy black. He appears to be in good con-
ditlon, and was walking about the room
in which we saw him, stretching his wings
gaping, flying upon the barrels and boxes
around him, perfectly Indifferent TO the
lookers.on until cog made his appear
ance, which reused his native feroclty in-
stantly. This is tho first living specimen
ever exhibited 10 this country.

Miscellany
From the N. Y. Gazette.
TOMB OF COLUMBUS.

Being in Havana, in the Spring Of 1885, went
to see the spot which contains the mortal remains OF
this great man. These remains are placed IN the
,oaH of the Cathedral Church of Havana on the
west side of the Grand Altar.
Columbus died in VBlladold, 1905, aged 70
years. In 1913 his remains were removed TO Sc.
ville in 1886 they were transported to the City Of
St. Domingo; and in January, 1896, they were
taken with great pomp by Spanish squadron to
Havana, and placed IN the Cathedral. The partl-
cuars Of this ceremony related in full 10 the 3D.
volume of Irving's Columbus.
Since Mr.. ltvings great work was published. a
white marble tablet (about three feet square) has
been set into the wall Of the Cathedral TO designate
the spot which contains the relics. On the tablet
is medallion likeness of Columbus in profile; un.
der it is the following inscription, which send you
for insertion in what you were lately pleased to call
your humble Sheet with an humble request that you
will send copy to the Historical Society, where,
understand, your paper held in favorable es'lma-
ton

The following translation given me by an
officer of the United States Navy, then in Havana,
who with me, carefully noted the pointings when
copying it:

May it endure thousand ages, guarded in this Urn,
And in the RENE mbance of our Nation.

who declined WALKING because there was
abundance Of hugging at home. 1t is
enough for him to hear such lectures,
without being obliged to read them AFTER

"do you call these lectures a joke--do

He finds them as good as tragedy. But

MARRIAGE.-How differently do youth
and age argue on that matter, anc how
very opposite are the circumstances which
it throws into the scale OF mmaglnary
happiness. Both may be erroneous; bu'
when the path oflile has been trodden,
and all its early Establishments and bloom
are fallen into the scar and withered leaf,
how few they are who know how TO recall
the time when their bosoms beat with 9TH
er aspirations than those Of wealth or title,
or any of the items which make up mar
rage of convenience. 1.-THE aged could
be less dry and hard, the young might,
perhaps, become less impeiuous and
hesdstrong.
On men of lighter minds, the vices oil
the world, aud what are too lightly ma
med its follies, act il different way, and
only serve to render them frivolous aad
contemplate; but on characters of a dee.
per stamp, if these obtain sway, il be-
comes of greater magnitude, of more ex-
tensive evil To every individual, indeed,
as a responsible being lin which light
none can be passed over or considered
valueless,) the terrible consequences OF
ill-conduct are equally momentous; but,
as far as respects others, it is the one dis
tinguisbed above the common kind, whose
actions, habits and opinions assume con-
sequence; which, like beacon light sci
on high, becomes warning or an exam
pie 10 multiiudes.

THE CONsU MPTIvE.
Mother sweet mother! my poor heart 10 breaking,
To see thee thus modrn so sadly for me,
And sooner shall my last suu,bcr be taking
II ain would delay, to be longer with thee.
Thy greeting 10 now in the language Of sorrow,
That would delight me with accents oflovs;
And the smiles that times thy features will borrow,
But the pain of awaking thsm bitterly prove!
Ohwhy art thou changedf IL thy child less endesring.
That thus she is chiding the from thine eyss
Or thou msrruS the fond looks she is wearing,
To tell thee what thoughts In her bosom arise
Forgive me, sweet mother,-I would distress ,hss,
Or doubt affection true thine owni
And long may the spirit In yonder land bless thee,
When the bird thou hast CHERISHED hath hithervsrd flown
l know that my days this fair earth closing,
That the glow my cheek but betokens decay,
Like the flower that seemingly fair 10 rsposng,
Though slowly within it is wearing awsy
feel my strength fail me but lieh. is the burden
That Fate could impose, were it only on me;
But mother, though glory itselfis the guerdon
turn from the thought, and cling closer to thee!
Nv dreams are Of heaven, its beauties unwilling,
Invite wander and taste Of their bliss
But sudden l see thee, and love then assailng
Der shadows yon region while thou art in this
hear the glad hymns from the side Of still waters,
That angels are tuning welcome the blest;-
And. though would join Gods worshiping daughters,
While thou oil lonely, could be at rest
Ah mother how happy ',would be- If together
We journsyd away from this valley Of tears
And blending hearts in communion for ever,
We knew no, grief, with for fears
But should il be willie that enter before thee
The portal of da kness that leads us on high,
Ny spirit, unfettered will then hover DER thee,
And thou wilt be conscious thy child is still nigh!
