The Jennings EsTArE--The long It'll
gated case of the Jennings estate, England,
has Just been settled in the court of chance
ry. The property lies principally in the
county Of Suffolk, and was 81, 100000, but
only one-half of that amount has been diyi-
ded in the late decision. The claimants,
says the Cheimyofd Chronicle, reside in
this town, and the others are scattered about
this and other countries; but the only fortu-
nate one living in this district is a journey
man printer named Langbam. BY the re-
cent decision, the property is divided into
seven equal portions, and Langhams share

CoUNTY SUBSCRIPTION To RAILROADS IN

county, Tenn, to subscribe S250, 900 to the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, was submitted
to the people of that county on the 9th inst,
and carried by majority of 425. This,

the second gun for county subscriptions
in West Tennessee. The people of Madison
constitute one of the most intelligent COM

that the proposition was thoroughly discuss

Ii n n L e.
BY C. E. B..

In a neat and snowy cottage
Standing in the locust's shade
Compassed around with blushing roses.
Dwells a modest gentle maid;
On her sunny brow are tresses
That an angel might bespeak,
And the seal of beauty presses
Brightly on her glowing cheek.
Fortune smiled not on her coming
Into this tempestnous Earth,
Nor were Pride or Grandeur cleaning
Round her at the hour of birth
Toll she shuns not-as the pampered
Heirs of Incidence and wealth.
Life and toll she blends together
Toll which gives her bliss and health.
She boasts not of taper finger
Jewelled by another's woes
Idle moments never linger
Round the brow where Honor glows
And love that gentle maiden
For the goodness of her heart
For with Virtue she is laden
Sheen which never will depart
OH when comes that glorious season
When the Earth shall honor toll
And the right illumed by reason
Error of its strength despoil:
lis when all as my good Lizzie m
Deem that earnest toll is light
When they know the hand kept busy
Points the road to truth and right
That sweet girl in her.poor cottage
In the emerald locust's shade,
Is above the proud upbraiding
OF the wealth encircled maid:
For the linsey she has woven.
And the earnest prayers she's given
To her God, have doubly proven
Toll and homage lead to Heaven

THE SPIRIT OF GIFT IS WHAT WE LOVE-
Early morning--dewy flowers
Childhood's simple gift
Shortened weary teachers hours,
Like visit to the bowers
They but now had left.
First my eager finger lifted
Larger of the twain;
While from hand to hand shifted,
Craved the skill of pencil, gifted
Perfect tints to gain.
NV poor sight and sense delighted
With its fragile form:
.Joy. its beauteous shades excited :
Knew the eye from Heaven was lighted
When those tints were born,
And, was just exclaiming, Perfect"
"Ioveliest of flowers"
When chanced again to lift it =
Quick as thought, my senses wished it
Back in garden bowers.
Down threw it,-disappOinted;
Left.-tO fade alone,
Tho with pearly dew anointed
Shadow passed upon its beauty
Fragrance, 1t had none!

During these difficulties with the English, the

from voyageurs at the head waters of the Miss

from Lake Winnipeg, making proposals for the
establishment of posts, but they could not be

they are furnished much cheaper by the English,

What is already done, has had so good an effect,

BEAUTIFUL FIGURE-The following very
beautiful illustration was given by q divine IN
Chelsea, Sunday, Dec. 2s ltmay be old to our
readers, but it is new and pleasing to us.
Two painters were employed to fresco tho
walls of a magnificent cathedral; both stood on
a rude scaffolding constructed for the purpose
some forty feet from the floor. One of them
was so intent upon his work that he became
wholly absorbed, and in admiration stood off
from the picture, gazing at it with intense de-
light. Forgetting where he was, he moved back
wards slowly, surveying critically the work of
his pencil, until he had neared the very edge of
the plank upon which he stood.
At this critical moment, his companion turn
ed suddenly, and, almost frozen with horror, be-
held his imminent peril; another instant, and
the enthusiastic would be precipitated upon the
pavement beneath; if he spoke to him, it was
certain death-if he held his peace, death was
equally sure. Suddenly he regained his pres
ence of mind, and seizing wet brush, flung 1t
against the WALL scattering the beautiful picture
with unsightly blotches OF coloring The paint
er flew forward, and turned upon his friend with
fierce imprecations; but startled at his ghostly
face, he listened to the recital Of DANGER booked
shudderingly over the dread space below, and
with tears of gratitude blessed the hand that sa-
we'd him.
So, said the preacher, we sometimes get abb
sorbed in looking upon the pictures OF this
world, and in contemplating them, step back
wards, unconscious of our peril, when the AL
mighty dashes out the beautiful images, and we
spring forward to lament their destruction-in-
to the outstretched arms of mercy, and are sa-
we'd.
