THE PORTRAIT.
BIZ DAVID 8. FOSTER.

Beauty OF yonder portrait! tits from thee
That thy descendant hath the loveliness
OF her arch smile and blue eyes thought
fuluess.
Telling thy tale, she bade me laughingly
Beware tiny ghost. Thus lost In reverie
heard the rustic of silken dress
And saw what seemed the ghostly ances-
tress
Enter my lonely chamber stealthily.
Close by she passed, little hand caught
Twas snatched away-she vanished into The
air
Leaving ring so small its size with naught
But Cinderellas slipper might compare.
Which strange to say, when like the Prince
sought
An unknown bride, one hand alone could
wear.

A MANUSCRIPT supposed TO have been
written by St. Peter, has lately been dis
covered among the property of man
named Bore, who died last year at Jeru-
salem, at the age of 1O9. The style of
the work has led to the conclusion that
it is authentic, and it is stated that the
London Bible Society, which has dis
patched committee to the spot, has OF
fered Bore's heirs the sum OF 100000

refuse to part with the manuscript,
though it seems probable that they will
allow the society to reproduce and trans
