The CEDARs OF LEBANoN.-We crossed the
Lebanon by following sheep track, and halted
under the cedars. These stately trees, several
of which are believed TO have been in their
prime when Solomon built the Temple, stand bv
themselves in a gorge OF the mountains, with no
other trees near them. OF " all the cedars of
Lebanon that are high and lifted np," these
alone remain, for on no other part of the noun
tain are cedars TO be found. The bark of the
most ancient has been cut away in places to
afford room for carving names of visitors
among which one regrets to learn is that of La

REBELLION.-Snce the organization OF
the Federal Government, there have been
ten distinct attempts made to resist It's author

The first was in 1882, and was conspira
cv of some of the officers of the Federal Ar

The second was in 1887, called Shay )
Insurrection," in Massachusetts.
The third was in 1794, called "Ihe WINS
XIV Insurrection of Pennsylvania"
The fourth instance was in 1914, by the
Hartford Convention Federaliss.
The fifth, on which occasion the different
sections of the Union came into collision, was
| in 1920, nnder the Administration Of Presl-

The sixth was a collision between the Leg

Statesman, L thank thee!-and, ifyet dissent
Mingles, reluctant, with my large content,
/ cannot censure what was nobIy meant,
But while constrained to hold even Union less
Than Liberty and Truth and Righteousness,
I thank thee in the sweet and holy name
Of peace, for wise, calm words that put to shame
Passion and party. Courage may be shown
Not in defiance of the wrong alone;
He may be bravest who, unweaponed, bears
The olive branch, and strong in justice, spares
The rash wrong-doer, giving widest scope
To Christian charity and generous hope.
If. without damage to the sacred cause
OF Freedom and the safeguard of its laws
If. without yielding that for which alone
We prize the Union, thou can st save itnow
From the baptism of blood, upon thy brow
A wreath whose flowers no earthly soil have known

And the peacemaker be forever blest.

One balmy summer night, Mary,
just as the crescent moon
Had thrown aside her deecy veil,
We left the gay saloon;
And in green, sequestered spot,
Beneath a dropping tree,
Fond words were breathed, by you forgot,
That still are dear to me, Mary,
That still are dear to me.
oh we were happy then, Mary
thus In our after years,
The world would be a paradise,
And not q vale of tears, Mary,
And not vale oftears.
live but in the past, Mary
The glorious days of old!
When love was boarded ip the heart,
As misers hoard their gold
And often like bridal train,
To music soft and low,
The by-gone moments cross my Dram,
In ali their summer glow, Mary
In all their Summer glow.
These visions form and fade, Mary,
AS age comes stealing on,
To bring the light and leave the shade
OF days forever gone!
The poets brow may wear at last
The bays that round 1t fall;
Rut love has Tose-buds of the past
Far dearer than them all, Mary,
Far dearer than them all!

Mr.. Rarey, the horse tanner, has held an
exhibition in New York which was entirely
successful. He introduced the celebrated
Cruiser, considered the most vicious horse in
England, which be had completely subdued.
A horse that cost his owner S270O, bot which
was utterly manageable, and which his
owner supposed Mr.. Rarey could do nothing
with, a horse reported TO have bitten two boys
TO death, was brought forward, muzzled, BY
two men. Mr. Rarey brought him completely
under in few minutes. Since the change in
the management Of lunatics, the secret Of
which was discovered by Pinei, there has
been nothing like it. The Frenehman asked
that the worst maniac in the Bieetre should
be unclaimed and let loose alone with him
Like Rarey, he subdued him. Tbeetreat-

Ice SPORTS IN LosDoH--We copy the
following from our English papers
On the night of the sth the Serpentine
presented an extraordinary scene, and It Is
estimated that there were upward Of roc, 900
persons on Hyde Park. The drive along
the Serpentine was for two hours completely
blocked up with carriages of the nobility and
yentry, and along the banks masses of per-
e rs were congregated. From the bridge
H., to the extreme end Of the river was
coo,;, nous blaze, there being upward of 6o,-
ooo H., srs and sliders, nearly all of whom
carried 10 hted torches and performed their
evolutiops b y their light The centre as wei
as near the ba >nks of the river, was lined by
several hundred tents, consisting Of skating
booths. reffeshraeLt paViiions, &c. Near one
end was erected a large tent for the supply
of wine. norter and refreshments Of all de-
scriptions, while the y'enders of hot coffee,
ginger beer, &C., drove 8 most profitable
trade. Several displays OF fireworks took
place upon the ice, and blue, green, and red
fires were ignited, which produced an extra
ordinary effect Shortly after O'Clock
large number Of tents were lighted up with
variegated oil lamps and festoons of Chinese
lanterns, and further displays OF Fireworks
took place. The festivities were carried on
with the utmost vigor for several hours, but
at 10 o'clock a large number of persons re-
tired. Several thousands, however, remain
ed upon the ice until a much later period"
