ImD0rtaDce of the Beautiful.

What are half the crimes in the world
committed for! What brings into the
action the virtues? The desire of pos
sessing what? Not more money, but
every species of the beautiful which mo-
ney can purchase. A man lies hid in a
little, dirty, smokey house for 20 years
of his life, and sums up as many colums
of figures as would reach half round the
earth, if they were laid at length; he grts
rich. What does he do with his riches (!
He buys large well ProPor'ioned house;
in the arrangement Of his furniture he
gratfes himself with all the beauty which
splendid colors, regular figures and smooth
surfaces can convey: he has the beauty
Of variety and association of his grounds; :;
the cup out of which he drinks his tea Is
adorned with beautiful figures, the chair
in which he sits is covered with smooth
shining leather; his table-clolh is of the
most beautiful damask'; mirrors rejecting
light from every quarter OF the rooms !;
pictures of the best masters feed his eye

4 Shooting Exploit Of Sheridan.

Tom Sheridan used to tell story for
and qgaiyast himself, which we shall take
leave TO relate.
He was staying at Lord Craven's. al

dav proceeded on a shooting excursion,
like Hawthron, with only "his dog and
his gun," on foot, and unattended by com,
panion or keeper the sport was bed
the birds few and shy--and ne walked
and walked IN seach Of game, until uncon-
sc;ouslv he entered the domain OF some
neighbouring squire. A very short time
after, he perceived advancing towards
him at the top of mis- speed, a Jolly, com
Portable looking gentleman, followed by a
servant, armed, as it appeared, for CON
aict. Ton, took up position, and waited
the approach of the enemy.
Halo! you sir,' said the squire, when
within half-ear, shot, what are you doing

The London newspapers, elated with
the success Of the Dover and Calais tele
graph, are discussing the possibility of
extending magnetic wire from England
10 Calcutta and some of them even 90
so far as to recommend the establishment
of communication, q Ia Morse, with
New York itself 1t is, urged that this
latter enterprise. Quixotic as it may ap-
pear at first, is in reality only a question
of time and money, for that if doubts exist
of the practicability Of sinking wire in
the Atlantic, none can be entertained of
the entire possibility Of elfectng the CON
nexion by way of Russia, Siberia, Beh-
ring Straits, Oregon, St. Louis and Phil
adelphia. The idea is grand one and
worthy of the age which has projected a
Pacific railroad. Should we 1--we TO the
ordinary term allotted 10 man, we may,
perhaps, ourselves behold this gigantic
scheme carried out, and if we continue in
the craft editorial, may live 10 ask, before

These Stanzas," by T. W P r>ou>, ar,
'ouuded On The din idea Of prc-cN,tcri >tal,
which often passes through the mind;
We have forgot what we Rave been,
Aud what we are VIC little know;
We fancy new events bcgm,
But ali las happened long age.
Through many verse HES poem aows,
But still, though seldom marked by nen,
At times returns the constant close;
Still the old chorus cones aga4u.
The chilGi,!l gricf-the boyi>h fear
The hope in manhood's breast that barns;
The doubt-thc transport and the tear
Each mood, each impulse, of returns.
Before mine infant eyes had hailed
The newborn glory Of the day,
When the first wondrous morn unveiled
The breathing world that round me lay:
The same strange darkneSs ocr my brain
Folded its close, mysterious wings,
The ignorance Of JOY or pain,
That each recurring midnight brings.
Full of my feelings make me start,
Like footprints on some desert shore,
AS if the chambers of my heart
Had heard their shadowy step before.
So looking into thy fond eyes,
Strange memories come to me, as though
Somewhere-perchance in Paradise
had adored thee long ago.

"that there are other means Of gaining
fame beside appearance. That the dress
of the peacock is more bright, striking,
and gaudy than that of the nightingale, |
an willing to allow but dress does not
make the man. The nightingale rests
his hope oi your appreciation upon higher
qualities. Nature has given him most
extraordinary power Of touching the soul;
and, think, this must rank him higher
in the scale of creation than the peacock. :"
"Oh, ho!'' said the ass, "you mean
his singing. l have been often disturbed
by his voice in the night, although never
before had the honour of seeing tie vo-
caIist. What!' he continued, "this is
the fellow is it, that keeps us awake
Well, hark ye, my little chap, give us a
touch of your quality; and be short, do
you hear for our time is precious, and
important to the commonwealth" ;"
The nightingale was about to COM
mence, when the peacock broke in:
Il aIso," said he, shave cultivated my
voice, and aspire to some skill in melo-
dy."
"Right," said the ass, "and the night
ngale is nothing to you" ...-.. e..
The little bantam, who had perched
upon the top of an old chestnut rail, came
out with sudden laugh, and slapped his
sides with his wings, at this assertion ;
bat the ass, regarding him with a grave,
Irebuking expression, said:
81 would have you to know sir, that
Iif there is anything on which | really
pique myself, it is being correct judge
of music. In that I'll yield TO nobody.
But hush! that divine creature Is going
to sing"
The peacock favoured them with a
song, than which nothing could be more
harsh, discordant, and altogether exc
cradle.
"Verv fine--delicious ~ said the ass,
nodding his head "now, let the nlghtln-
gale beat that if he can"
An old hen, who had been scratching
yrave at little distance, declared that
She never knew what music was before.
An'inuocent little lamb, who loved the
nightingale, cried " bah y but the ass
pricked up his ears and shouted, "turn
him QUIT" in such stentorian voice,
that the poor young thing was frightened
half to death.
"Order, order. said the COW.
Order being obtained, gash Of melody
burst from the throat Of the nightingale
which Instantly hushed every o'hersound.
Sometimes it melted into plalnhye sweet
ness, and sometimes burst forth like an
impulse of love but the pervading char
ac,er was tenderness and touching, that
after it had died away, deep silence
hung over the crowd, as if every one
were waiting and wishing for it to com
mence again. The applause which en-
sued manifested clearly the triumph OF
the rose and the nightingale. The geese,
who had been asleep, each on one leg
with his head behind his wing, were a.
wakened by the Glamour, and scudded
across the road, after having assented to
the ass, who, before he rotted off, shook
his ears with a wise look, and observed ;
at is really astonishing how The public
allow themselves to be led away
