his loaded team from the lot, and lett me, as
usual, TO put up The bars. Whilst thus oc.

parley with my employer, who occupied the
entire road with his loaded cart,-the roads
at the tine being so narrow that two teams
could not pass unless one yielded the way

Ficus Religiosa.
BY BISHOP DoANE.

The Banyan of the Indian Isles
Strikes deeply down its massive root;
And spreads its branching life abroad
And bends, TO earth, the scarlet fruit
And when the branches reach the ground,
They firmly plant themselves again;
Then rise, and spread, and droop, and root
An ever green and endless chain,
And so the Church of Jesus Christ,
The blessed Banyan of our God
Fast rooted, upon Sions mount,
Has sentits shcltering arms abroad:
And every branch that from it spriugs,
In sacred beauty, spreading widc
As low it bends, to bless the EARTH
Still plants another, by its side.
Long as the world itself shall last
The sacred Banyan still shall spread
From cline to cline, from age to age,
Its sheltering shadow shall be shed
Nations shall seek its "pillar'd shade y
Its leaves shall fer their healing be
The circling food, that feeds its life,
The blood that crimsoned Calvary.
