Likeness of Heaven !

Mania thy victim,
. Shipwrecks thy dower ‘
Spices thy jewels,
H rum valley and sea,
Armies and banners
Are buried in thee.
What are the riches
< If Mexico's mines,
To the wealth that fur down
In thy deep water shim s P
Tim proud waves that cover
The conquering ’.vest—
Tlmfi Hi! them to death
With one heave of thy breast.
From the high hills that vizor
Thy wreck making shore,
\N hen the bride of the mariner
Shrieks at the roar;
When, Itka larnbs in the tempest,
Or mews in the blast,
O’er tliv ridge broken billows
The canvass is cast.
How humbling to one,
W ith a heart and a soul,
Vo look on *hy greatness,
And list to thy roll—*
To think how that heart
In cold ashes shall be,
When the voice of Eternity
Hi*es from thee.
Ves ! where are the cities
Os ) hebes and of Tyre?
Swept from the nations,
Like .‘parks from the fire!
The glory of \theus,
1 lie splendour of Home,
Di*solved—and forever,
\ ike dew in thy foam.
lint thou art Almighty—
Eternal—sublime—
Un weakened—u n wasted-
Twin brother of Time I
Fleets, tempests—nor nations
Thy glory can how,
A* the stars first beheld the,
Sail oitnnless at t thou.

. Ni longer shall roll,
And that firmament's length
Is drawn hack as a scroll/
Then— ilten shall the spirit
ThatsiglPd by thee now,
i lie moie mighty, more lasting,
More ch.iinless than thou.

The following fact took place
timing the period when Wash
ingt.on and the half starved, half
clad troops were in winter
quarters at Valley Forge. A
gentleman not quite twenty,
from the western part of Massa

fore the Generated door, inar
ching hack and forth in the
snow, on a tremendous cold
morning. Washington came
out and accosted him, ‘My

Anecdote of Viscount Harrington.
A yqung office r, who had not
been included in a recent pro
motion, waited on Lord Bar
rington, and a very decided
urn! unequivocal manner de
manded satisfaction for the’
♦ffront. His Lordship replied,
—“Young gentleman, if I had I
made n u rule to fight every j
officer who was disappointed on
every general promotion which
took place, I should not have
been now able to wish you a
very good morning;’ and beck
oning to liis attendant to open
the door, parted with his dough
ty and offended visitor.
An Irish lodger being asked

Delight of rustic ambition ,
“I wish 1 was a king,’ said
Dick to his father
one hot summer day, as he
finished hoeing his row of corn,
and stood leaning upon his hoe,
in the shade of a tree where
the hands were quenching their
thirst from ‘the gallon bottle *
‘•Daddy, 1 wish I was a king.’—
“Why so, my son.’ ‘Why, then
l would swing all day on the
gate and lick lasses/

Oi Aneceote.
Two young physicians on
their return home after having
received their diplomas, were
astonishing the weak nerves of
the passengers on board the
steam boat, as well with their
display of techniality as learn
ing. The passengers were all
dumb. An old gentleman more
bold than the rest, however,
ventured to address the follow
ing question to one of these
sons of Esculapius:—‘Pray sir,
is the section of country in
which you are about to settle,
sickly? ‘Very much so, indeed,’
observed the Doctor; ‘I expect
to witness a great many death
bed scenes in the course ol
the next summer.’ i have no
doubt but that you will,’ replied
the old gentleman, ‘provided
YOU GET MUCH PRACTICE.’
A school house in one of our
country towns, not long since
being burnt down, anew one
was built in its place- The
same knight of the ferule who
had kept in the old house, was
employed in the new. The
same pupils also attended.
The master observing: that one
of the hoys did not sustain the
same rank in his class that hei
had done formerly, asked him
why lie could not spell a well
in the new house as the old.
“Why, I don‘t know, said tbe 1
’boy, twisting himself into all
j manner of shapes, ‘I can‘t some
how seem to git the hang of
THIS NEW HOUSE.*
A young fellow who was the
very tippy in a village “down
south,’ fell desperately in love
with the belle of the place, who,
besides a pretty face, had a
good fortune, and whaPs more,
had received a goodly educa
tion at a fashionable boarding
school. He was at first, rather
shy when in her presence,
knowing her to be somewhat
above him; but, on being en
couraged by some of his wag
gish friends, he determined to
pop the question, for they had
so flattered him, that he began
to think in reality that he was
most too good for her. He
accordingly sought her pre
sence, and after a long story
about his burning passion, long
suffering, broken heart, £sc. —
he at length came to the point
and asked her in good earnest
if she would have him What
was his surpiise ?.nd mortifica
tion on hearing her answer ‘No,
Sir, Iwe no notion of you!
He would have sold him
self at that moment for a six
pence; hut suddenly recover
ing from the shock, he laughed
and said, ‘What would you have
said it l natl been in earnest.
