passing the ark, he strided over to Noah avoiding
the deep holes and keeping himself az dry as he
could and asked Noah to take him in s.Oh. no. ''
said Noah, 81 darent take you in you're danger

shut down the scutte. "Go to thunder,'' said Cog,
but I'll ride, after ALL; and he immediately put for
the ark and got astiidc it, with his right leg on
the sa board and his left on the larboard side, and
he steered her which way he pleased, and did
cause great trouble within.
o. The proposition to change the time Of meeting
of Congress from December to October, has suggest
ed the objection that the constitution required that
the first Monday in December should not be departed
from the day Of the assembling Of the national
legislature This is a mistake. The constitution
specifies the first Monday in December, but it gives
Congress the to fix upon another day if it should
see fit to do The language of the constitution is,
'Thc Congress shall assemble at least once in every
year, and such meeting shall he the first Monday
in December, unless they shall by law appoint diff
ferent day"

HI QUEEN OF A

from its English contributor in Madrid, from which
We take the following extract in regard to the Span
ish Queen:
Twertv years ago, more than one-half of Spain
few to arms to defend, against the remaining por-
ton 81. the nation tbe declared questionable rights
Of an infant nrinces. whose claim TO the crown
owed its strength and sunporters to her association
with fine idea Of n free and constitutional govern
ment. for whose maintainance her mother nledo god
herself. After n sanruinary war. her nartisans tri-
umphed; the 'sinnocent IsabeI,1 as her subjects
then called the child, for whom they had cheerfully
made vast sacrifices, and freely p0ured out their
blood, was seated-frmly. as then ap~peared-upon
her fathers throne and Spain, long distracted by
intestine strife, hoped for TRANQUILITY, progress and
Drospcrity, 1t was but Il dream, The child-oueen
had scarcely reached womanhood, after a stormy
minority, troubled by frequent instructions and
iuccssant intrigues, when she began wilfully to
estranse the affection and respect her subjects

intention of imposing upon them n rule as desnotic
as that to escape from which thew had fought in
her favor, and made her their queen, are the effca-
cious means she has EMPLOYED to render herself
despised and detested. The commencement of her
unhopularity was unouestionably her liccntious
life. Although the world has obtained some ink
ling of her impropricties through newsnapers and
other channels, it has vet no idea to what an extent
they have been carried but in Spain it is we'll

A PARABLE.
BY JANEs Russell Lowell.

Said Christ cur Lord, 81 will go and see,
How the men, my brethren, believe in me-
He passed not again through the gate of birth,
But made himself known to the children of earth
Then said the chief priests, and rulers and king'
i" Behold, now, the Giver of all good things;
Go to, let as welcome with pomp and state
Him who alone is mighty and great"
With carpets of gold the ground they spread
Wherever the Son of Man should tread,
And in pallace-chambers lofty and rare
They lodged him, and served him with kingly fare
Great organs surged through arches dim
Their jubilant foods in praise of him,
And in church and palace, and judgment hall,
He saw his image high over all.
But still, wherever his steps they led,
The Lord in sorrow bent down his head,
And from under the heavy foundation stones,
The son Of Mary heard bitter groans,
And in church and palace, and judgment hall,
He marked great assures that rent the wall,
And open'd wider and yet more wide
AS the living foundation hoaved and sigh'd
" Have yo founded year thrones and affairs then,
On the bodies and souls of living men?
And think ye that the building shall endure,
Which shelters the noble and chrushcs the poor2
With gates of silver and bars of gold,
Ye have fenced my sheep from the Fathers fold;
| have heard the dropping of iheir tears
In heaven, these eighteen hurried years"
so Lord and Master, not ours the guilt,
We build but as our fathers built;
Behold thine images, how they stand,
Sovereign and sole, through all our land.
Our task is hard-with sword and famo
To hold thy earth for ever the same
And with sharp crooks of steel to keep
Still, as thou %lc!tcst them, thy sheep"
Then Christ sought out an artisan,
A low-brow'd, stunted, haggard man,
And a motherless girl, whose fingers thin
Push'd from her family want and sin.
These set he in the midst of them,
And as they drew back their garment hem,
For Fear of defilment, " Lo, here" said he,
THE images We have made of me.'

A suRFEIT OF INTERROGATION,

The Spectator mentions a curious remedy in
use in Swedish hospitals, for the form of madness
which exhibits itself in the uncomfortable appetite
for alcoholic stimulunts. The process may be ca
silly described. We will suppose that the liquor
which the patient is addicted to drinking is the
commonest in the country,-say gin. When he
enters the hospital for treatment, he is supplied
with bis favorite drink, and with no other if any
thing else is given to him, or any other food, it is
favored with gin. He is in heaven; the very at
mosphere is redolent of his favorite perfume! His
room is scented with gin his bed, his clothes,
every thing around him every mouthful he eats,
or drinks, every thing he touches; every zephyr
that steals into his room brings to him still gin
lie begins to grow tired of it,-begins, rather, to
wish for something else,-begins to find the OPP
preston intolerable,-h at it,-cannot bear the
sight or scent of it,-longs for emancipation, and
is at last emancipatcd. lie issues into the fresh
air Il cured man, d~reading nothing so much as a
return of that loathed prosecutor which would not
leave him an hours rest in his confinement. This
remedy says our contemporary, appears to have
been thoroughly ~efectual so effectual, that per-
sons who deplored their uncomfortable propensity
have petitioned for admission to the hospital in
order to be cured, and they haze been cured.
