THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.

bf CfAhLtS SW AIN Oh the old, old clock of the household stock Was the brightest thing and neatest; Its hands, though old, had touch of gold, And it's chime rang still the sweetest; Twas a monitor, too, tho' its words were few, Yet they lived though nations altered; And it's voice, still strong, ,warn'd old and young When the voice of friendship faltered !" Tick, tick ;" it said-'' quick, quick to bed- For ten I've given warning Up, up, and go, or else, you know,
 You'll never rise soon in the morning'' A friendly voice was that old, old clock, As it stood in the corner smiling, And blessed the time with merry chime, The wintry hours beguilng; But cross old voice was that tiresome clock, As it called at day-break boldly; When the dawn looll'd gray Der the misty way, And the early air blew coldly: " Tick, tick" it saidE' quick, out of bed-- For five Eve given warning; You'll never have health, you'll never get
 wealth,
 Unless you're up soon in the morning" Still hourly the sonnd goes round and round, With tone that ceases never; While tears are shed for the bright days fled, And the old friends lost forever: Its heart beats on--though hearts are gone That warmer beat and younger; Its hands still move-though hands we love Are clasped on earth no longer: '' Tick, tick" said-' to the churchyard bed, The grave hath given warning; Up, up, arise, and look to the skies, And prepare for heavenly morning."

The Sentence of the Saviour.

A correspondent of the Notes and Queries writes: /" Can any of your cor respondents inform me whether the en- closed extract from the Kolaische Zeitung, is based on sound authority, and what au- thorlty it is? also, where and when was the Kolaiscte published :"
 CORRECT TRANSCRIPT OF THE SEN FENCE OF DEATH PRoNoUNoED AGAINST Jrsus CHRIsr. The following is copy of the most memorable judicial sentence which has ever been pronounced m the annals of the worId-lhat of death against our Saviour. with the remarks which the journal Ke Dfoa has collected and the knowledge of which must be interesting in the highest degree to every Christian Until now, am not aware that 1t has ever been made public ln the German papers. The sentence is word for word as follows :
 Sentence pronounced by Pontius Piate, in- tendant of the province of Lower Galiee, that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death by the cross.
 In the seventeenth year of the reign of the Fmperor Tiberius and on the 25th Of March, in the most holy city of Jerusalem, during the pontifcate of Ainas and Caaphas.
 Pontius pilate, intendant of the province of Lower GaIlee, sitting in judgment in the presidential seat of the pr@tor, sentences Je- sus of Nazareth to death on the cross, between two robbers, as the numerous and notorious testimonies of the people prove
 l. Jesus is misleader.
 9 He has excited the people to sedltion.
 g. He is an enemy to the laws
 A. He calls himself the Son of God.
 5. He calls himself, falsely, the King of Is rae
 6. He went into the temple followed by a multitude Of people, carrying palms in theif hands.
 Orders the first centurion, Qairilius Corne- Illus to bring him to the place of execution

 This sentence is engraved on plate ot brass in the Hebrew language, and on its sides are the following words: :" A sim liar plate has been sent to each tribe. v It was discovered in the year llS0, in the city of Aquia, in the kingdom oi Naples, by a search made for the discovery oi Ro- man antiquities, and remained there until 1t was found by the commissaries ot the arts in the French Army m Italy. up 10 the time of the campaign in Southern Italy 1t was preserved in the sacrisly of Carlhn- sians, near Naples, where it was kept in box of ebony. Since then the relet has been kept in the chapel of Caseoa. The Cauhusians obtained by their petitions that the plate might be kept by them; which was an acknowledgement Of the sacrifices which they had made forlhe French Army. The French translation was made literally by members of the commission ot arts. Demon had fac Simife of the plate en- graved, which was bought oy Lord How ard, on the sale of his cabinet for 2,S00 francs. There seems to be very llttle doubt as to the authenticity of thls iransla- ton of the sentence, corresponding as 1t does with that of the Gospel. = New York Journal of Commerce.

 "TALL WALKING" We copied, few days since, paragraph attrIbuting the origin of i" Bucket letters" to David l. Holt, of Middle Georgia, he having writ ten series of letters, over the signature of Edward Bucket" to the President of the United States, John Quincy Adams The Montgomery Mail copies the same paragraph, and adds:
 David l. Holt went with Col. Fannin's Georgia Bat. 10 Texas, in 1885, and was one of the prisoners who escaped the massacre of the Alamo, in the Spring of 1886, during the Texas Revolution. In telling some of his old friends in Georgia, afterwards, about lis escape, one of them asked him if he run, (so the story goes. Holt was brave man, and did rot like to acknowledge that he ran, even though he was retrealing from an impending death. without the shadow of chance to defend bimself, and he replied. {" Vel boys, did not exactly run, but done some very tall walking"
 "Tal walking was the substitute for 1 inc word " run" about Macon and Mill ledgeville for many years afterwards.

Description of cur Saviour.

The Boston Journal says that the follow ing epislle was taken by Napoleon from the public records of Rome, when he de- prived that city of so many valuable man. uscripts. It was written dt the time and 1 on the spot where Jesus Christ commence ed his ministry, by Pubius Centuins, gov efnor of Judea, to the Senate ol Rome Cesar, Emperor. Ii was the custom in those days for the governor to write any event of importance which transplred while he held office:
 "Conscnp, Fathers:-There appeared in these our days, a man named Jesus Christ, who is yet living among us, and by
 the Geniles is accepted as prophet of great truth, but his own disciples call him the Son of God. He hath raised the dead, cured all manner of diseases. He is man of stature, tall, comedy, with ruddy countenance, such as the heholder may love and fear. His hair is the color of filbert when fully ripe, plain to his ears, whence downward 1t is most ornate in color, curling and waving about his shoulders in the middle of hls head is d seam or partition of long hair, after the manner of the Nazarites. His forehead is plaln and delicate, his face without spot or wrinkle, beautiful, with a comelv red his nose and mouth are exactly formed; beard the color of his hair. and thick, not of any great height, but lorled. In reproving he Is terrible, in admonishing courteous; in speaking very modest and wise; in pro- portion of body, well shaped. None have ever seen him laugh, but many have seen him weep. A man, for his surpass- i ing beauty, excelling the children of men" DEATH TO THE BUGs.-The following remedy is said to- be infalible Take two pounds of alum, bruise it, and reduce it nearly to powder: dissolve il in three quarts of boiling water, letting il remain in warm place till the alum IS dissolved. The alum water is to be applied hot, by means of brush, 10 every joint and crew ice. Brush the joint and crevces Tn the floor of ihe skirling- board if they are sus- pected places; whitewash the ceiling, put ting in plenty Of alum, and there will be an end to their dropping from thence,
