Very beautiful will be the transformation OF
the present exhibition. As the nations are now
represented by their works Of skill, so may they
still appear by their floral members Dutch
tulips may take the place Of Dutch butter churns
and banyans grow where now are Indian mus

And there will be ample space for the sculp-
tured forms of all Eng!and's past worthless, with
worthless present, and worthless to come. Nor
will Punch object to figure of the liant Sib-

in the act, if Mr.. Paxton would thus--and only

Bit of Real Chind.-The celestial beauty
at the Chinese collection has very great OBJ
lection to anything like activity A Frenclrman,
being anxious to see how she supported herself
on her small feet, was pressing her to get up
and walk. "Come, only try" he said, most
coaxingly; can assure you, you will find ce

her head, and, smiling, said "Then me wait for

Too Good by Half--Sibthorp was taken to see

CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF ABoLrTioHIsM-
Ia discourse at Danvers, Mass, Parker Pills
bury, reverend run-nad Abotionist, puts forth
the following infamous sentiment:
"The 4th Of July is the most cursed day in
all the calendar. The day when Judas Iscariot

July. On the morning of the 4th of July, we
should clothe ourselves in sack CLOTH and set in
ashes during the day"
