When all around was still;
thought saw my cottage white,
Upon yon fow'ry hill,
The grsss-plot green before the door,
The porch with vines o'ergrown,
Were lovely as they were before,
When all was yet my own.
Chorus--Ol rumseller,
That home, that home of thine,
That pleasant home, that happy home
That cottage home was mine
The gravell'd walk, SO wide and stright
With flow'ry banks beside
That led down 10 the garden gate,
b. Where Willie used to ride;
The locusts DER the path that grew,
The willow boughs that swayed,
All told me with a tale most true,
That there my Mary playd.

The siIvery lake so calm and clear,
Along whose banks I've strayd,
SO often with my wife, mOstdear,
To watch the sunlight fade;
The murm ring stream that sweetly ran
The gardens foot along,
The sparkling fount as bright as then,
All sing the mOurnful song.

The window toward the garden gate,
That looked out TO the west
Where that lov'd being used to wait
That made my home so blest;
Twas closed the sombre curtains hung,
And no lOvd face was there,
No voice the ey'ning song there sung,
Or breathed the ev'ning prayer.
Choras-0hi runseller, DC.
Now that lov'd wife has gone to rest,
In death her heart is bound,
Her babes sleeping on her breast
Beneath yon grassy mound;
Aud i am wand ring lone and strange,
No master of my will,
My home, my happy home is changed.
To a hut beyond the still.

How THEY ARE TAXED IN ENGLAND. Our
taxes must be heavy, doubtless, for long time to
come, if measured by our own past experience !
but as compared with the burdens which other ma
tons have borne, and are bearing they wilbemode-
rate to say the least We recall our own experience
in England not many years back; and thecollection
alleviates very materially any apprehensions we
might otherwise have in view our present pros
pects. Our library was pleasant room in an am
pie and substantial brick house, looking outupon
beautiful fruit and flower garden IN the rear and
the said library had Just one window, because the
light of the sun was such an expensive article in
England that at that time even rich men were pru-
dent in its consumption Seven is the perfect
number and the father Of household might have
seven windows of moderate and prescribed size,
without paying for the light that came through
them, but for every additional window or opening
with or without glass, through which heaven S
sweet ightwas admitted to sitting-room, chamber,
Office or cellar there must be paid to the govern
ment Of our Sovereign hadys a sum equal to
two dollars and half This sRprenely absurd
and barbarous law had theeffeot greatly omarthe
beauty aud comfort of English dwellings, and to

house Of which we hayespoben, but the sum total
we paid for sunlight must haye5een at least twen-
ty-fye dollars year, and that be it remembered
for light inferior in quality and IN only moderate
quantity. We recollect one day seeing strange
man surveying our premises in a curious way
Presently he rung at the bell, introduced himself
as new inspector for the district, and said we
we're liable for one window more Than we were
paying for. Weasked him where It. was ana be
pointed to an opening into the csal cellar, about
two square feet in sze and thereafter We paid for
it the same as for full sized window in our libra

ggIAI OF THE 1aEaEsE GUN EYER MADE.


The 20-inch Rodman gun, the largest ever made
was tested at Fort Hamilton on Wednesday after
noon of last week, in presence of large number
Of spectators. The trial was fxedfor II 4. NJ,
but considerable delay was experienced in the
proper adjustment Of the piece, as it was not IN
I'll halfpast two q clock that the first discharge
a blank cartridge Of one hundred of powder, was
fred The ooneussien following the discharge
was SLIGHT, and the recoi of the gun much less
than was anticipated. The piece was next load
ed with a charge Of powder under thousand
pound shell The time taken in loading was
about half an hour The second trial was as sue
cessf1l as the first, the ball, in consequence of
considerable depression Of the gun, striking the
water at a quarter of mile distant, richochating
several times.
The gun, OF. examination, being found to have
received no strain, preparations were made Cor the
final test. At FIVE O. clock the piece was again
loaded with a charge Of one hundred pounds Of
powder, and bah weighing one thousand and
eighty pounds-one Of the largest projectIes ever
cast Owing to the rather impromptu arrange
ments for raising the bell twas found to be any
thing but an easy task to adjust il. However, at
the hour mentioned, the piece was loaded, ana
everybody stood clear for the last final trial The
gun was raised to an elevation of twenty-five de-
grees, and the discharge was deafening. The
ball was twenty four seconds in the air, and fell
at the distance of about three miles and half.
Considerable applause followed the final shot, and
all concerned in the management of the piece
were warmly congratulated.
The following are the dimentions Of this last
great achievement of Captain Rodman: Weight
of gun, 116, ,497 pounds length, q feet; bore. 20
inches; usual charge of powder, 100 pounds;
weight of ball. 1000 pounds Previous to the
trial of the gun, the revenue cutter Bronx, Capt
Marcel, arrived at the Government dock, having.
on board large number of ladies and gentlemen.
Prominent among the latter were Gen. Dix, Gen.
Hayes. Gen. Dyer, Gen. Smith, Commodore
Paulding, Commodore Wise, Commodore Roders,
Major Van Fleet, Captain Rodman and Peter
Cooper
