DEATH OF THE ORIGINAL UNCLE Tom.
The indianapolis Journal mentions the
death in that city, on Sunday last, of Thom-
as Magruder, an old negro, aged about 10
years. He is supposed to have been the one
who suggested the name and the leading 9
features of the character in Mrs. Stoves
novel. Uncle Toms Cabin" This suppos-
ition is based on the coincidence of name
and character, and on the fact, says the
Journal, "that Henry Ward Beecber, dur
ing bis residence here, was constant visitor
Of Uncle Tom's,' we'll acquainted with bis
history, and sincere admirer of bis virtues.
We have been told that Mrs. Stowe berself
sometimes called to see the old man. 'Un-
cle's Toms Cabin, too, was the name of his
house among his acquaintances, and was a
familiar phrase here long before Mrs. Stowe
immortalized it. At all events, we know
that i: is the impression with all the friends
of Mrs. Stowe and her brother, in this city
that old Uncle Tom was the original, or at
least the suggestion, of the hero of the Cab

WAKING DREAM IN SICK
NESS.

The night creeps wearilv. l lit my lamp
To hide the brightness of that morning star
That mocks me with slseplessness like mine
Coldy and gtterinsly apart and alone!
How unlike life i; is-this sickness waking!
Conscious of lite's enfeebled link no more
The soul feels death-releascd and as the star
Wakes not the colors of earth's slumbering flowers
Nor warns the darkness of the mountain brow
From which sopathlessly it scars away,
50, with strange lift, unnaturay bright,
The sick mans thought scars trackle.slv and far;
The pale cheek on the pillow, and the pulse
OF the sad silent heart, made death lisr only
BY thought in which their faintness has no share.

BABYLON Petrus VaIensis, an Italian
traveller, visited the ruins of Babylon in GIG,
and describes tower such as that recently
reported to have been re.discovered. but be
believed it to be tower built by one of the
late Princes Of Babylo lon, and not the famous
old Tower OF Babel. the building of which is
recorded to have been the occasion of the
confusion of tongues, and the source of the
various languages of men.
Babylon was one of the wonders of the
East. Its walls we're 81 feet thick and $50
feet high, and were GO miles in extent. The
Tower or Temple Of BeIus stood in the mid
die Of it. in which was golden image of Ba-
al, forty feet high. 1t was famous for the cul.
tiva'ion Of the science of astronomy at an
early date; the astronomers made their OBJ
serva''ons from the top Of the high tower, in
very clear atmosphere. Alexander the
Great took it; and Calis,henes, the philoso-
per, who accompanied him, states that as.
tromicat records. had been made in Babylon
fro" Is years after the Deluge.
The grandeur Of the palaces and buildings,
and the known wealth Of old Babel, render
ed 1t for long period the centre of Asiatic
and power. But its walls have
crumbled. and for centuries the very Arab
OF the desert has stunned its ruins because
Of the wild beasts that haunt them, and the
numerous venomous serpents make their
abode in palaces, which we're once the abode
