ANCIENT DATES VERIFIED We
know by astronomical calculations that
on the 18th of June 1853 B. @. there
was total eclipse of the sun, and in
connection Herewith III. G. Rawlinson,
the great decipherer of.the arrowhead
ed characters Of the Assyrian remains
has just made a very interesting dis
coycry. There were two blocks of
stone brought from Nineveh and placed
in the British Museum, which had al
ways been regarded as separate entirely.
One contained a list of Kings of Assy-
ria, and the other list of dates, but
there was no known connection between
them. Col. Rawlinson, however, has
just put the two fragments together,
and found that they are in fact compile
mentary portions of the same stone fit
ting into each other exactly, and giving
thus a complete and exact record of the
Assyrian Empire for a period of one
hundred and forty-six years before the
greateclipse land ninety-seveny years after
that event, that is in all, of two hundred
and forty-three years. This varies from
the present received chronology OF Ush-
er only about forty years, to which ex-
tent it must be curtailed between the
reign of Hezekiah and Ahab.
In other respects the Hebrew records
are fully verified by this additional and
unexpected testimony. While, there
fore, it shows what has long been well
known to scholars. that in matters of
date and chronology our present He
brew figures are not to be relied on as
altogether accurate, yet in substantial
matters of history it is the best clue
and keys to the records of the nations
OF Oriental antiquity. The lines are
strongly and clearly marked which in
dictate each year both before and after
the time of this eclipse for the period
above stated, which event is there dis
tlnctly noted. The most important
thing perhaps, about this matter is that
1t clearly shows the accuracy with
which modern scholarship is able to
read the records of this cuneiform char.
acter on the plan suggested by Colonel
H., and the valuable and accurate in
formation it is capable of affordine us
We have now few such chapters in the
history of ancient nations written ont
so authenticity and accurately as this
OF Assyria, at the period to which we
refer; that is, from the time of Ben
hadad, OF Syria, and Ahab, King of Is
rael, down almost to the time of Jo-
siah.

RAREY AND THE JACKAssEs.- Ohm
Rarey, the horse tanner, while he was
in Rome, was terribly annoyed as stran-
gers always are, by the understandable
braying of the jackasses, which, coming
to the market early in the morning with
vegetables, always improve the hour,
when strangers are enjoying the half
DOING delight, which Immediately pre-
cedes the pain of getting up, to bray,
with special vehemence singly and IN
chorus. No one who has not suffered
it can appreciate the brickbat-rubblng,
saw-filing effects of it on the strongest
nerves. Rarey could not stand it-and
he swore he woul dn't. He watched the
awful little beasts with a professional
keefness sharpened by personal pain,
to see if there was any practicable way
to stop their braying without cutting
their Threats, but almost resolved to
do that if there was no other remedy.
He soon noticed that the animal inva-
riahIy Strengthened it's tail out as stiff
as y poker when the Eruption com
menced, and he darted with the rapid
ty of genius to the conclusion that as
the tail and the bray went together,
the bray couldn't 90 without the tail,
so he determined to hold the tail down.
He tied a number of the heavy lava paw
ing stones to stout strings with slip
knots on the ends, and while the own
ers were enjoying their 'cofemata'' at
some neighboring cafe, he slipped the
moose over the unsuspicious tails, and
retired to watch the result. In few
minutes an especially noisy Jackass
was seen to open his mouth and gasp
convulsively. He stood gasping for
three or four seconds. He wheezed,
and the lava block swung suddenly at
his tail out of the braying level-but
no sound came He looked plaintively
around to his companions as if to ask
them what allied him. His lips shook
and he dropped the artichoke leaves he
had Deen munching, as the idea entered
his superstitious fancy that the devil
had somehow got out of the hogs into
him. Another tried, but an inarticu-
late grunt was all that he could reach.
They all tried a chorus, which had only
the same morning ratified and crashed
through every street and lane, but in
vain. There was silence that day in
''the strangers quarter" and rejoicing
in every "piano" from the piazza del
Popolo to the Piazza d'Esyagna.

Thy tickle heart can quickly turn
And feign to love another;
But, ali, this constant breast must burn
With flames it cannot smother!
Too softly sweet thy velvet lip
Too sweetly bright thy starry eyes!
Alas, tits nectared bane to sip,
And he that gazes-dies!
The blight is on the damask rose,
The death-frost on the lily;
And cold the bleak Norwester blows
Till all the earth seems chilly!
But colder than the icy wind
And deadlier than the frozen de"'
Are unforgotten words nnklnd
And promises untrue. ,
Sad heart be still! The faded flowers
So like to thee in sorrow,
Shall bloom again in brighter hours
Upon some genial morrow;
But never shall thy hopes rebloom,
Fast hastlng to the silent grave,
The vernal rose shall deck thy tomb,
The lily DER thee wave!
