Last Days OF n Tyrnnt.

1t is fearful, but not unsalutary, to
cast u parting glance at the vicious
body of Henry VIII, after its work upon
the earth was done. 1t lay, immovable
and helpless, mere corrupt and bloat-
ed mass of tyranny. No friend was
near to comfort it; not even q courtier
dared to warn it of its coming hour.
The men alone it had gorged with the
offal of its plumber, hurry back in af-
fright from its perishing agonies, in dis
gust from its ulcerous sores. 1t could
not move limb nor lift a hand. The
palace doors were made wider for its
passage through them; and it could
only pass by means of machinery. Yet
to the last it kept its CHASTITY state, de
seconded daily from bed-chamberinto the
room of kingly audience through hole
in the palace ceiling, and was nightly,
by the same means;|lifted back again to
its sleepless bed. And to the last, I'M
happily for the world, it had its terrible
indulgences. Before stretched in that
helpless state Of horror, its latest
victim had been Plantagenet.-
Nearest to itself in blood of all
its living kindred, the Countess Of Sails
bury was, in her eightieth year, dragged
to the scatfold for no pretended crime,
save that of corresponding with her son;
and having refused to lay her head
upon the block, Git was for traitors to
do so, she said, ,''and she was none,")
but moving swiftly round, and tossing
it from side to side to avoid the execu-
ton, she was struck down by the
weapons Of the neighboring men-at-
arms, and while her gray hairs streamed
with blood, and her neck was foreibly
held down, the axe discharged, at
length, its dreadful office. The last
victim of all followed in the graceful
and gallant person Of the young Lord
Surrey. The dying tyranny, speeehless
and incapable of motion, had its hand
lifted mp to affix the formal seal to the

"Ineidcuts in the Life Of Blind
.irl

Miss Mary l.. Day, a young lady who
had the misfortune to lose her sight
when only eleven years of age, has
written and published book with the
above named title, the same being her
own autobiography. The book appears
to be written in an interesting style.
The narrative is straightforward tale
of the experiences of one who once
looked on the sunlight and beauty of
creation, but was suddenly shut out
from it by a stroke of misfortune. The
authoress is out of health, and while
travelling with view to its benefit sells
the work and thus pays her way. This
is her only pecuniary dependence, and
those of our citizens upon whom she
NAV call in canvassing for the sale of
the little volume will doubtless respond
with alacrity to the call of the afflicted
and the deserving.
Price, one dollar.

Dickens, Christmas Story I'm Every
Saturday.
"Mugby Junction." Dickens Christ
mas Story for 1866, is published COM
plete in the 5Oth number of Erery Sat
urday. As Mr.. Dickens contribution to
the story this year occupies a larger
portion of the volume than usual, it is
safe to predict that "Mugby Junction"
will prove even more popular than any
of its predecessors. The first four tales
in the collection are from the pen
of the inimitable "Boz." These cpl
sodes are written in the authors happi-
est vein. Many of the characters intro
duced to the readers will ut once take
their places in literature besides such
immortal creations as Mr.. Pick
wick, ~ "Little Nell," "The Mar
chioness," and "Oliver Twist"
The sketch entitled "The Barbox
Brothers." is one of those delicious
lessons which Dickens teaches so adj
mirably. No one can read it without
strengthening his belief in human good:

Lamp withhis periodical FOUNDERS,

". Little Polly" the lost child, whose
name is not Trivits, is conception as
charming as anything in that marvel
fous series of novels which we are never
weary of perusing. The whimsical de-
scrir.ion of the Refreshment Room,
with the stalepastry, and poor Mr.. Swift
will make ''Muggy Junction favorite
stopping-place this year for many de-
lighted reader. This story appears in
Erery Saturday seven days previous to
its appearance in England. The pub
