A Pretty Comparison.

Silently pertaining the air, whether BY the

eternal hills, adjoining the quiet Wales, or
clustering in some cottage garden, are the
dainty flowers, whose jeveled cups rival the
hues of monarch's gems. There are seen
the sapphires delicate tints, the garnet's rich
coloring. the slumbsring fires Of the topaz,
the royal amethyst, the opars glow, and the
purity OF the pearl. And here and there are
seen the fresh tints of the emerald, encirclinp
the earth as with coronet
The sapphire's azure CLEANS are reflected
from Flora's fairest treasures to the heavens

bosomed in the snowy clouds, jewels of the
purest hue: And as the day king ascends the
eastern hills, his ssplendor falls upon you

his golden rays, and sparkle like the brightest

the sparkling drops is rivalled in the hus;, of
the eventide, when "the moon, the reaper
OF the rlpened stars, holds out her silver
sickle in the vest" and the white stars.
like sanity lilies, blossom in the infinite fields
OF blue. But the iris-hued flowers, and
dancing waters, and floating clouds, and
sparkling stars, and silvery moon, are but
few of the jewels which nature treasures in
her casket. Each day and hour of our lives
are as pearls among the gems of time; and as
we sail upon the voyage of life, they drift
away one by one, into the mighty ocean of
eternity. Moments. and hours, and days,

More than four yeras ago young Hindoo
prince, only twenty-five, who ruled over one
of the most extensive provinces in India, and
was strong ally OF Great Britain, stopping at
one of the Florence hotels, ON his way home
from London to his native country, was taken
sick and died after short illness. He was
attended by numerous suite, who, to show
their grief for the loss of their below prince,
astonished the Italians by their mysterious
Oriental funeral ceremonies On the night of
the LIST OF December, 1870, on the very spot
where his monument now stands, they pre-
pared the pile upon which they performed
the rite Of burning the dead body of their
ruler. They mixed with large Quantities of
wood immense compounds of camphor and
odorous ointments, upon which, robed in his
splendid vestments, and surrounded by his
precious and personal ornaments. they laid
the remains 1.-THE young rajah. The pile was
lighted about midnight, and burned till near
morning. The venerable Brahmin directed
the ceremony, and, mingling his prayers with
those of other faithful servants, made the
groves resound with their lamentations. AT
break Of day the ashes of the prince we're col
lected into golden vase, which now rests in
the sacred temple of his native India. In
June 1874, the English Government erected
splendid monument to his memory on the
spot where his body was burned.

"Traverse the world over, search the history
OF our race in all times, and whenever you
find q man truly superior to his fellows, q
natural king of man, born to command, You
will find him attentive to the interests, and
to the feelings, and to the dignity of those
who execute his will. If he is not man
enough to do so from feeling he is man OF
business enough to do it from policy. II
there is any one here who snubs persons de-
pendent on him, begrudges them their just
compensation, cares nothing for their inter
ests or their honor, that man is not naturally
master-he is one by accident only; he be.
longs, by birth or breeding, or both, to the
class Of the defeated and the servile. He is
merely beggar on horseback, and perhaps
he stole the horse"
