years before, the bones having been dis
covered in his cellar. The. Sullivan Dem

termination OF. the mans awful career:

known Of him until some Of the neighbors

decaying structure, reached the scene of
the conaagration Justin time to hear the
wretched mans last LAMENTATIONS. as they
arose aboyeethe sound of the cracking
flames. Bat aiasl they came too late! =
The devonring element had the ascend.

ravages were in vain. The accused was
wrapped in a sheet Of flame, confined
within a prison whose walls were fire, and
which, likean enormous coil of serpents.
with Its thousand fiery tongues, forbade
the approach and laughed to derision the
feeble attempts ofman to rescue from its
fiery folds its hapless, victim! Thus ends
the career on earth Of Simon Dillon, the

5ga In ages past, the M'Leans Of Loch
Buy. were absolute monarchs Of the south
Isldeo Mutt; and in those DAYS, hunting
deer was their amusement and support
Loch Buy commanded a great chase, and
gave strict charge tosah attendant named
Gore, Godfrey J not to suffer a stag to
escape through a certain pass and at the
same time declared, if such thing did
happen, Gore should forfeit his life. 10
Gore took his station; bqt notwith
standing all his caution, some deer forced
the pass, and made themnescape.a .esls

ignominiously chastised in the presence

to save and restore their only son. A

The parent for the sake of his child
readily submitted to be treated precise

Major Stuart, of the British army, one oil

The whole surface OF Mount Ararat
bears evidence of having been subject to
VIOLENT action, being scanned and scored
with deep ravines. The rocky ridges
that proWude from the snow are either
basalt or tufa: and near the summit we
found some bits of pumiee, on spot which
still emits "a strong ssulphurous smell. -

angular shape, the base being about 200
Yards in length, The perpendicular 800.

separated from it by a hollow is another
point of nearly equal altitude, and the
base of the triangle is an elevated ridge.

points stand out in distinct relief on a
clear day. Thesnow on the top is almost
as dry as powder, and in walking over it
we did not sink more than halfway to the

that the summit is an extinct crater filled
with snow. We experienced no difficulty
Of respiration, except being sooner blown
