from that OF the kishon. On both sides of tha

the gray stems Of lofty trees, whose foliage.

IL was much the same sort of scenery az that

tries-the songs Of birds. Nothing j. 70 be-
seen moving 10 these shades but here and there
the majestic crane stalking between the boles
of the trees; nething heard but the rustic Of
the kite or vulture, when he bursts from among
the boughs and scars screaming 10 the skies.
And these but bespeak the, deep loneIiness

LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER MiKEs.-A letter
from Lake Superior, to the Hon. Truman
Smith, says that wooden skid was found
twenty feet under grouEd, upon which was
resting mass Of copper weighing more than
FIVE tons. Two copper tools AMI several ham,
mers of stone, together with Goals and ashes
Of wood, were lying around Il, as fresh to all
appearance, a. though they had been made
last year; and yet there was six feet Of vegst.
able soil above them, surmounted BY tree,
which, on being cut, proved to be at least Eve
hundred years old.
America was discovered by Columbus, only
three centuries and a. half ago. These we're
instruments used by no European. They are
relics OF race who must have lived and died
long anterior to that epoch. and left behind
them, only such dim and shadowy notes Of
their departure.-Josr. Of Com.
