SIT may be confidently stated that tho forts of
Sebastopol fell successfully before the combined
powers of the assailants {; that at least half the
Russian feet persisted; that the flags of the Allies
were waving on the church of st. Vladimir, aud
that on the Doth Prince Menschikoff surrendered
the place - Times, Oct. 5th.
"Never, since the days of Napoleon-we may
almost say since the days of Cesar-has an ex-
plot of arms been attended with such entire or
instantaneous success" Times, oct. 9Th.
Who saw it fall?

saw 1t fall.

has fallen, and we look to receive, at any moment,
intelligence which shall place beyond all doubt

ST. HELENA.
GLAND Ho !" this morning from aloft is cried,
And st. Helena rises Ger the tide.
Black spot upon the waves, II stands to mark
Old England's History with a shadow dark.
There, fouly captured, Great Napoleon died.
There broke heart majestic In Its PRIDE
The captive Hero could not brook the chain,
And Death released him-hs is free again!
Immortal Chief on history's future page,
Thy name shall stand. the wonder of each age;
Thy vast achievements, and thy virtues, too,
Have only, lately, had historian true.
Mean. sordd chroniclers, for British gold
Their talents high foulest uses sold;
Zen Walter Scott immortal though his name,
Sought British favor, through Napoeon's shame;
Brt now the Hero's virtues brightly glealn,
And ADSoTr's Truths, his very faults redeem.
He shows the innate workings Of heart
In which most noble purposes had part.
HIS was a soul above earth,s nleancr things,
And a bright charm around the action clinss,
When, on his Alpine march. by dangers tried,
He heard the iove-tale OF his Peasant guide;
II tou he'd chord, responsive In his breast
He gave a dowry-aiid the nurNials blest.
MIDNIGHT.

No stains upon thy s?ansled banner rest;-
Long, long, with thee may smiling Peace remain,
And thy rich fields TEEN with the golden stain,--
Thy all enied-Freedoms battles DER
Nav thy bright fields ne'er drink of human gore.
While Europc's monarchs tremble on their thrones-
While through their lands are bleaching human bones
Msy'st thou still be the Cynosure of all,-

The Flight Of Time.
We take no note Of time
But from Its loss: 10 give it then q tongue
ID wi,e In p,an.O

Blu, from its loss: to give it then a tongue
60, swiftly each passing moment gldes away ~
How soon are life's golden dreams and bright vi
sons of earthly bliss forever flown! Time, ever
rolling time, writes the fadeless impress of decay
every where, and upon every thing we behold in
this beautiful world of ours. There is nothing of
earthly beauty, or Of earthly grandeur, that can
bid defiance to the storms of time; or nothing too
sacred or holy to elude the destruction Of its
fatal blast.
ssI saw him grasp the oak,
il fell the tower, il cruniblcd; and the stone,
The sculptured IN onument that marked the grave
OF fallen greatness, ceased its pompous strain,
Flowers, that fill the ambient air with sweet
odors and ambrosial incense, bloom-fade-die /!
Our earth, ut one season of the year, is clad in
her beautiful dress of living green; and the
bright rays of vcrnal sun enrich, expand, and
beautify every scene in creation. The soft warm
air is filled with music, sunshine, and perfume,
and all nature shines out in unrivaled beauty and
splcndor. But how soon does the whitening breath
of a few revolving months rob the fields of their
blooming vcrdure and loneliness! the forests and
trees of their magnificent foliage and drapery -
and cause the grecn-clad Sc earth to lay her glory
by,' till the time shall again come for the repro
duction of flowers, plants, and herbs upon the face
Of nature! Change and decay are unfadingly
impressed upon things earthly. The eve fingers
not upon an object, however beautiful and lovely
now. but the breath of time shall one day mar or
cifice.
Time does more. 1t invades a holier sanctuary
and introduces man to a brighter destiny, and
happier cline beyond the grave. Beautiful, but
TO every earnest, thoughtful heart, true as beaut
full, are the words following:
"Roses bloom, and then they wther;
Cheeks are bright, and then they die;
Shades Of light waited hther,
Then, like visions hurry by;
Quick : clouds at driven
Der the many-cvlured West,
Years bearing to hcaven--
Home of happiness and rest.'
