The Arab race has past its cu'mina-

IL The Oldest Book in the United
States, it is said, is manuscript Bible in
the possession Of DR.. WitLerspoon, Of Al
ALBANIA, written over a 1l0Hsgld gczrS ago'
He describes it as follows: The book
is strongly bound in boards Of the old
English oak, and with thongs, by which
the leaves are also well bound together,
The leaves are entirely made Of parch-
ment, Of 4 most superior quality, of fine
ness and smootAness little inferior to the
best satin. The pages are all ruled with
great uniformity and beauty in the old
German text hand and divided in chapters
and verses. The first chapter Of every
book in the Bible is written with large
capitalof ininitabIe beauty aud splendi3Iy
Illuminated with red, blue and black ink,
still in vivid colors and no two Of the
capital letters in the book are precisely a

Here is another Of TEyNYsoN's exqui.
ite little lyrics. It is worthy of his pei
and only Tennyson could have write
it,
Sit down, sad soul and count
The moments flying;
Come-tell the sweet amount
That's lost by signing.
How many smiles?-a score?
Then laugh and count no more,
For day is dying
Lie down, sad soul, and sleep,
And no more measure
The flight OF Time, nor weep
The loss Of leisure;
But hero, by this lone stream,
Lie down with US, and dream,
OF Starry treasure.
We dream-do thou the same;
We love forever;
We laugh, yet few we shame
The gentle, never;
Stay, then, till sorrow dies
Then hope and happy skies
Are thine forever.

CSTWho wrote The following beautiful cp,

Beneath this stone in sweet rePose,
Is laid a mothers dearest pride;

The precious boon His love Lad gigea;
And though the casket mouIders here,
The gem Is sparkling now in Heaven.
