The lopped tree in time may grow again;
Most naked plants renew both fruit and flower;
Tho sorriest wight may fnd release from PAIN
Tho driest soil suck In moistcning shower;
Time goes by turns, and chances change by course
From foul 10 fair, from better hap to worse.
The sea Of Fortune doth not ever now
She draws her favors TO the Dwest ebb;
Her tides have equal times 70 come and go
Her loom doth the fine and coarsest web.
No Joy great but runncth 10 end
No hap so hard but may in lne amend.
Not always fall Of leaf, nor ever spring,
Not endless night, nor yet eternal day;
The saddest birds season find 10 sinD;
The toughest storm calm may allay.
Thus, with succeeding terms, God tcmpereth ALL
That man may hope 70 RISE yet fear to fal.
chance may win that by mischsnce was lost;
That net that holds no great takes little lsh;
In some things all, In all things none are crossed;
Few all they need, but none have all they wish.
Unmingled joys here 70 man befsll;
Who least, hath some; who most, hath never all.

and the conversation-,hat is to say, the
complimenting-was continued with re.
doubled vigor.
Talleyrand then departed, and did not
return until the company broke up, when
he found that they had both left the bench
whereupon they had been seated 50 long
together, leaving, however, the "precious
treasures " which they had received from
each other with so much gratitude, behind
them! Talleyrand seized upon them with
inexpressible delight, thinking that they
would furnish matter for innocent jeering
when the loss came to be remembered by
either party. But the thing was complete

DOMINICAN RRrUBLIc.-Santana in
Er;lc.-The Official Gazette Of Dominica,
18th inst, not only con6rms the important
intelligence Of our Havana correspondent
that Santana, formerly President Of the
Republic, had fallen into the hands of Baez,
his rival, but informs US also that the dis.
tinguished revolutionist is banished forever
from the country. We have already pub.
lished the proclamation declaring martial
law in the Republic. The prisoner. it
seems, entered San Domingo City on the
evening Of the 9Th, under strong escort
Of three hundred cavalry. The house Of
the General, Sanchez had been prepared
Tor him, where he was treated with the
greatest consideration till tho llth, when,
under sentence of sxpatriation he EN-.
barked on board the National Goleta o..
anna, accompanied BY the minister Of war.
and several superior and subaltern officers.
The people, en- masse, out Of respect for
20 great 4 man, whose disgrace they
shared, formed part Of the grand escort,
tho gravity Of which was not disturbed BY
any disorder. This ends tho civil war ia
Dominica, Baez being left in undisputed
authority. Whether he will now hetray
the Republic into the hands Of Soulouque
remains to be seen.-N. o. Picaysne.

bore testimony to the power Of tho actor.

Her manner was remarkably unconven.

FIFTY YEARs HENcE.-Right Rever.
end Bishop Clarke delivered lecture in
Cambridge, Mass, on the l7.h, taking for
his subject, Fifty Years Hence. From \
sketch in the Cambridge Chronicle, we
take the following extracts: .5.
Fifty years hence the newly married
pair will step into an emporium for the sale
Of houses, look over the book Of patterns,
select one to suit their taste and means,
order It, and it will be sent home in the
morning, put together and occupied at
night. Iu sia la ce.aps,s aa
Intravelling, ~ great changes will take
place. Instead Of the dusty road and
crowded car, thers will be splendid Lo-
comotivs Hotel, flying over road carpet
ed with turf and bordered with shade
trees, and heralding its approach with
sweet music, instead Of tho demoniac
shrek Of the steam.whistle, and labelled
I" through from Boston to San Francisco
in four days" 7sj5a1 69saqfa- 81
Instead Of the unsightly telegraph poles,
there will Be, fifty years hence, = net work
underground, and under the bosom Of the
deep, and il will click of thoughts instead
Of words. Then the electric battery will
light all The street lamps at once, enable
oil the clocks in the city to keep exact
time. and kindle the beacnns on the dan
gerous rocks, where now men hazard their
lives and wear out their lonely days. 3i7
Then tho author will not write by our
slow process, losing his rarest fancies. but
he will cit down. to the newest invented
chirographical instruments, and putting
his fingers On the keys write as East ~ he
can think. 5as ..5ll 4 es:5ie on ls 5I
