The Old gates Of Janus were opened when
Rome was at war; and their modern prototy-
pes, the Dardanelles straits ARE open only when
state of war makes treaty stipulations void,
and the Porte deems it to benecessaIy to admit
his allies through them to protect his capital.
The accounts we have are that they are now
open for the passage Of the British and French
fleets " F##EHNt @N H#R A#
The Dardanelles, from which the strait, or
Hellespont, derives its name, are four strong
castles built opposite to each on the European
and Asiatic coasts and are the keys of Con-
stantinoplv. Two Of these castles, the old
castles, were raised by Mahommed II. soon
after the conquest Of Constantinople, in 1853;
the other two, the new castles, were built IN
middle of the 18th century, to protect the
Turks against the Venetians, The latter COM
mand the entrance to the Hellespont, and the
distance from each is about two miles and a
quarter; in four hours sail up the straitare the
old castles, which are about three quarters OF
mile apart. These are well mounted with
formidable batteries. .,.,..pY
All along the European shore to the Mar
mora, the aspect of nature in its ruggedness
corresponds with the frown of the guns but
the scenery on the Asiatic shore is beautiful.
Fhe region abounds, too, in places famous in
classic story. Here it was Leander paid his
nightly visit to Hero; here the Inflated hosts
of Xerxes crossed on bridge of boats; here
Solyman crossed on bare raft; and in mod
ern times, here Byron swan from Sestos to
Alydos. .t-ra r.-- rt,,.-+tu-.rrsr

POVERTY AND KNAvERY.-The poorer a
man is, the more necessity there is of his be-
ing honest. A rich knave may perhaps pros
per for a time in worldly affairs; but poor
knave will as soon have as little credit as cash,
and will not only suffer, but deserve all the
evils which poverty can infict.

Wishing.
By JOHN G. SAKE.


Of all amusements for the mlno'
From logic down to hshing'
There isn't one that you can hnd
NY So very cheap as wishing!
A very choice diversion, too,
five but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
Iwish--a common wish, indeed
Ny purse was something fatter,
That might cheer the child Of need,
And not my prideto flatter;
That l might make oppression reel,
As only gold can make it,
And break the tyrants rod of steel,
As only gold can break it
wish-that Sympathy and Love,
-a And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come, and keep in fashion;
That Scorn, and Jealousy, andHate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of Ocean!
wish-that friends were always tiu',
And motives always pure;
wish the good were not so few,
I wish the bad were fewer;
! wish that parsons ne'er forget
To heed their pious teaching;
1wish that practising was not
So different from preaching
: i wish-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that Innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
/ wish that men their vows would mind
That women ne'er were rovers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers
/ wish-in fne-that JOY and mirth,
And every good Ideal,
May come, erewhile, throughout the earth
To be the glorious Real;
Till God shall every creature bless
With His supreme blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness.
-lg And wishing be possessing

hands, that the Meuagarie Of Van
Amburg, is the largest and most COM

section of the country. The reckless
ness Of Van Amburg in subdueing and
tanning wild animals, is proverbial.
live reecollect right, there is now q
large bet in England in reference to
Van Amburg.--The bet fixes a time
for him to be killed in the pursuit Of
his singular calling. All we hope in
reference to the matter, is that he will
