The "African pumpkin" or gamhen'

american iruit OF that name, being !"

thick trunk, but it is OF the pompion
family, to which belong the melons.
The trunk grows to about fourteen
feet high, with a diameter OF
from three to six feet. The rind IS
white as chalk and perfectly smooth,
and the clumsy trunks among the
green shrubbery look more ike
marble columns than anything else.

HOW CYRUS LAID THE CABLE.


Come listen all unto my cong;
IL IS no silly fable;
lis all about the mighty cord
They call the Atlantic cable.
Bold Cyrus Field, he said, says he:
Il have pretty notion
That can run a telegraph
Across the Atlantic ocean"
Then al the people Taught and said
They'd like 10 see him do IL,
He might get half seas over, but
He never could go through it.
To carry ont his foolish plan
He never would be able;
He might as well go hang himself
With his Atlantic cable.
But Cyrus was a valiant man,
a fellow of decision,
And needed not their mocklng words,
Their laughter and derislon
Twice did his braycst efforts fail
And yet his mind was stable;
He WANT the man 10 break his heart
Because he broke his cable.
''Once more. my gallant boysi' he cried;
Three times .-you know the fable"
('lll make II thirty muttered he,
"But Will lay the cable;'D
Once more they tried-hurrahi hnrrahl
What means thls great cummotioni
The Lord be praisedl the cables laid
Across the Atlantic ocean!
Loud ring the bclls-for, flashing through
SIX hundred leagues Of water,
Old Mother Englaudis benison
salutes her eldest daughter.
Der all the land the tidluss speed,
And soon in every nation
They II hear about the cable with
Profoundest admira'ionl
Now long live James and long live Vic,
And long live gallant Cyrus;
And may his courage, faith and zeal
With emulation lre US.
And dmay we honor evermore
The manly, bold and stable,
And tell our sous To make them brave,
How Cyr..s laid the cable.

On being returned to the House Mr..
