ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD.

BY MOORE.
Thou art, 0 God, the life and light
OF all this wondrous world we see
Its glow by day, its smile by night,
Are but reflections caught from thee.
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine;
And all things fair and bright are thine.
When day, with with farewell beam, delays
Among the opening clouds of even,
And we can almost think we gaze
Through open vistas into heaven
Those hucs that mark the suns decline,
So soft, so radient, Lord, are thine.
When night. with wings Of starry gloom,
O'shadows all the earth and skies,
Like some dark, beauieous bird, whose plume
Is sparkling with unnumberd eyes
That sacred gloom, those fires divine,
So grand, SO countless, Lord, are thine.
When youthful spring around US breathes,
Thy spirit warns her fragrant sigh;
And every flower that summer wreathes,
i born beneath thy kindling eye.
Whcrc'cr We turn, thy gloHes shine;
And all things fair and bright are thine.

Egypt by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, vase
was found in a mummy pit, the age Of which
was computed at about three thousand years
This vase, hermctiraIly sealed. was presen.
ted to the British Museum; Mr.. Pettigiew,
the librarian to the late Duke Of Sussex,
proceeded TO open the vase to ascertain its
contents, and in SO doing unfortunately
broke it in pieces. The interior contained
mass Of dust, and few grains of wheat
and yetches. and on examining further few
peas ware found, entirely shriyelled, Of q
yellow color, and as hard as stone. II was
known that mummy wheat had been resus.
GATED alter an interment Of five thousand

The boat, in which the midnight party we
have seen secretly embark were moving down
the river, had not proceeded many rods in the
darkness when heavy drift of fog, blown up
the river, enveloped them in cimmerian black

A BALLOON ASCENSION AND FIGHT.-The
ascension which Professor Marion promised to
make at Hudson on Wednesday, ended in row
and fight. Professor M. having short sup
ply of funds, ordered up a short supply Of gas.
lie got into the basket, but the basket would
not ascend. The Professor then cut loose from
the basket and undertook to 90 up as he did in
this city, seated on the ropes. He did not sue
ceed; not gas enough. Professor then pulled
off his coat, vest and boots, hoping less weight
would give him more bouyancy. Another fail

stockings, and go up in the costume ofa Roman
senator" This 50 Mortified an old lady from

Roman senator question, and resolved that he d
have more gas. More gas was procured-5.00

son gas is made on a new principle, and can be
poured from jugs like molasses. A portion of
the people became impatient, and informed the
Professor that he was "foo-foo'' Professor

Professor seeing evaporation tainted away, and
was carried to the Hudson House. His agent,
Mr.. Myers then undertook to make an ascen-

returned to Hudson House. At the Hudson
House the feud was renewed John Best allow

for the Professor and "put shed over his eye

the second great balloon ascension in Hudson.
