COMBUSTION OF THE WILLOW TREE.-

well attested, and forms another Of those
natural phenomena, which only can be
explained by the scientific We read in
late number Of the Cam6ridge (Eng.)
Advertiser that the banks of tue Cam the
season have exhibited an unusual number
Of these cases, occurring principally in
growing willows. At one point on the
river particularly, the process was seen
going on thoroughly. "It was really as
tonshing,' says the AdUertiSer, 'to look
upon a fine willow, in the full vigor of
robust vegetable health, pouring forth
clouds Of smoke from its halcbnTned stem,
and doomed doomed speedily to expire

tree, yet hale and green, covered with a

suddenly burst forth into ignition, burn

be PROSTATE! There is no putrescenee-

Thus early her head.

Close by her grave
Let its long branches
Soothingly wave;

Over the tomb
Sprinkle fresh buds there
Beauty and bloom.
Let bright fountain,
Limpid and cleal,
Murmur its music,
Smile through tear
Scatter its diamonds
Where the loved lies
Brilliant and starry
Like angels eyes.
Then shall the bright birds
On golden wing,
Lingering ever,

Then shall the soft breeze
Pcnsively sigh
Bearing rich fragrance
