The old king OF Delhi, the last Of the No
gul Emperors, has been condemned by the
British authorities to be transported to one
as convict for the few remaining years of his
life. His completely, as the nominal head OF
the revolt in India, the avowed purpose of
which was the restoration of the Mogul dy-
nasty, aud his more terrible completely in
the massacres and tortures Of the British
woman and children in Delhi, would have
amply justified his condemnation to death !;
but It appears that Capt. HOdson of the
British army who effected his capture I'M
der very difficult circumstances, promised to
spare his life, and the British judicial author
tiles honorable respected that promise.
The Andaman islands are situated in the
Bay Of Bengal, about half way between
Cape Ncgrais and the Nicobar Islands
Their total area is about 5000 square miles.
They are inhabited by couple of thousand
Malays, of the most savage character, and
are supposed TO be one of the principal re-
sorts of the pirates OF the Indian Seas. 1t
is not very clear TO whom they properly be-
long They were claimed at one time by
tilc buur~, uibuS VIII tiV l~it'uai iHduh- >
but in lSl6 the government of Denmark re-
nouuced all claim to their sovereignty. and
withdrew the establishments they had al
ready formed on them. Some of the native
chiefs subsequently expressed desire to be
placed under the protection of the Fast In
dia Company, and hoisted British flag ;
and it is apparently from this act that the
Indian authorities dcduce their present right
to erect the islands into a penal colony,
where the last of long line Of kings, once
famed for their magnifcence and power, is
to expiate in dishonorable captivity the
crime of rebellion against the British su-
premacy. Among the many strange vicis-
STUDIES that have betalen the Mogul En-
pcrors, this last is not the least wonderful or
impressive 1t is very probable that this
punishment will exercise u greater influence
on the minds Of his coreliglonists in India
than ii he had been condemned to death.

DEMONSTRATIONS.
BY CHARLES MACRAY.

If Fortune with n smiling face
Strew roses in our way.
When shall we stoop to pick them up?
To-day, my love, to-day
But should she frown with face of care,
And talk of coming sorrow,
When shall we grieve, if grieve we must?
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow
If those whove wrong'd us own their faults
And kindly pity pray,
When shall VIC listen and forgive?
To-day, my love, to-day
But, if stern Justice urge rebukc,
And warmth from Memory borrow,
When shall we chide--if chide we must?
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow
If those to whom we owe debt
Are harmed unless we pay,
When shall we struggle to be just?
To-day, my love, to-day
But if our debtor fail our hope
And plead his ruin thorough.
When shall we weigh his breach OF faith
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow
If Love, estranged, should once again
Her genial smile display
When shall we kiss the profTered lips?
To-day, my love, to-day!
But, if she should indulge regret,
Or dwell with by-gone sorrow,
When shall we weep--if weep we must?
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow !
For virtuous acts and harmless joys
The minutes will not stay
We've always time to welcome them,
To-day, my love, to-day
But care, resentment, angry words,
And unayailing sorrow,
Come far too soon, if they appear
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow

The pretended ghost had scarcely set

ghostly figure confronted him, and in
sepulchral voice, commanded him to
