sixty feet under ground, whilst digging we'll

Sin its arrangement: for exhibition it pre-
senls all the appearance of human skeleton
standing erect and measuring sixteen feet
from the top Of the skull-bone 10 the bottom
OF the ankle bones. There was suspended by
lis side the skeleton of man or ordinary size
and the contrast was truly striking. WIiatev-

The facts connected with its finding and re-
surrection. 1t was found at least fifty feet be-
low the surface of the earth, and seemed to

that 1t could not be put together, and lis place

the important bones are missing, yet in gener-
al the corresponding ones are preserved, so
that tolerabiy complete skeleton has been

There was sound Of mirth by the lo~1y' hssrth,
And in lordiy mansion high;
For the gray Old Year, in his mantle scrc,
Had folded him down TO die.
And the midnight clang of his death bell rang
Der a hundred blazing pyrcs,
As they gathered him there, by the fire lights glare
To the tomb of his hoary sires.
Yet my heart sad with the voices glad,
For thought on the Old Years graves
On the warm tears wcpt for the brave who slept
in the oceans tide worn caves
am old II am old There were locks of gold,
There were checks that bloom'd like May;
And the bounding form, and the young heart warm,
They have passed from my side away.
There were eyes Of light on my pathway bright,
There were arms that round cuug
They sleep in the fold Of the death shroud cold,
The tcnantcd tombs among.
Where the ivy crceps, where the night wind sweeps
Where battcns the worm, Decay might al,
They arc there they are there Through the mid
They are bcckoning me away.
Oh! the New Year hath come from his far Off home
Ger the frost bound Arctic wave;
And the ice shod feet Of his courscrs fleet,
Have swept DER the Old Years grave
He is here he is here the hale New Year!
They have kindled hundred fires;
But my heart lies cold, with the Monarch old,

INCIDENT.

A fashionable young lady recently met her
plain old grandmother at the Springs. The
old lady's heart was filled with innocence and
simplicity, and her ideas of fashion never
went beyond a straight coat and plain cap.
When, therefore, she met her dear grandchid,
the first time for many years, and saw her a
dlsfigured invalid, she was shocked and al
most tainted. When her emotion had little
subsidized, she turned with tears in her eyes,
and said, "6largaret. honey thee MAY get well ;
but indeed fear the waters never will cure
thee of this dreadful thing, Ccying her hand
on Margare's fashionable DUsTLE) o! how
awful thee must feel about it 70 and another
flood of tears gushed forlh.-Good old lady,

CONGRESS.-Our latest dates from
Washington are 10 the 10Th only. There
had been no business of importance transact
ed up 10 that time.
The calls for information as 10 what the
Executive has been doing, are already
beginning 10 exhibit themselves.
Mr.. RATHBURN calls to know whether Sc
cret inspectors Of the Customs are now ap-
pointed as they were under the late Admins
uation-and ifso, who they are, and TO what
collecting district they are attached!
Mr.. GARRET DAVIS calls upon the Execu-
tive 10 inform the House what instructions
have been given TO our Generals and Com
modores, in the matter of annexing Mexican
territory 10 the United States, by conquest OF
arms, and establishing territorial governments
over the same.
When this last resolution was offered it
produced visable sensation throughout the
House. Immediately an adjournment was
moved and carried.
The excitement of the session has al
ready commenced.
