The Banyan Tree.—This tree is a pro
duction of India, that clime where nature is
sind to lsxvish her bounties in the greatest
profusion and variety. It has, in a late
publication, been accounted one of the bun
dl'd wonders of the world.. V single one
of tlfcse irees is itself a grove, covering
sometimes acres of land ; and from their
extreme nnd^continued increase, they are]
certainly great objects of wonder and admi
ration. The manner o^lheir growth is as
follows. The main trunk throws forth its
branches in long, hanging, and at first ten
der fibres, which on reaching the earth,
strike in md take root, and become in their
turn parent trunks, sending forth their own
branches. These, as before, suspend their
roots, and swell into other branches; and
thus this multiplying process goes on, until
in process of time it becomes a vast shelter
for innumerable animals and birds, and an
object of admiration to man.
In Hindustan there are two banyan trees
of wonderful size : the smallest one grows
in the province of Rahar, not far from the
town of M’engce. It has between fifty and
sixty stems, or trunks, and its shadow at
now Wjfcfsprcs 1116 feet, or about 67 1-2

.Magnanimous Criminal.—Mr. Ryland,
the artist, who was executed in 1689, for
forgery, so conciliated the friendship of the
Governorof.Tothel Fields, Bridewell, where
he was confined, that he not only had the
liberty of the whole house and garden, but,
when the other prisoners were locked up of
a:i evening, the governor used to take him
out with him, and range the fields to a con
siderable distance.—His friends anticipating
the consequence of a trial at this time, con
certed a plan by which Ryland was to effect
an escape in one of these excursions, and
which v;as to have been executed in such a
manner, that the exoneration of his guardian*
must have followed of course. But proba
ble as it appeared, when mentioned to the
unfortunate man, he was so far from acced
ing, that he protested, if he was at that mo
ment to meet his punishment, he would em
brace it with all its terrors, rather than be
tray a confidence so humauefy given. He
was deaf to remonstrance and entreaty, and
ultimately preferred death to a breach of
friendship.
While Talma was at Havre, a droll oc

prompt as your thought. You dart upon
the murderer, and you employ nil your
strength to save the life of your mother: it
is nature that impels you; there is nothing
voluntary in the act.” They then bega;
the scene again. Emboldened by his
words, at the moment that Talma made the
motion with his hand, Stephanie darted
upon him, and hoisted him up six inches
from the ground. “ Egad, my good lady,
