The wayside guides upon lice's broad track, How oft have we read through tears, We've traced the lesson with whitened lips When we could not pray for tears! Sonic lie so small, and some so tall, But all are green at last.

LINES TO A SKELETON (Bitty years ago the London Morning Chronicle published a poem entitled "Lines to a skeleton," which excited mnch alt en-' lion. Every effort, even to the offering of a reward of fifty guineas, was vainly made to discover the author. All that ever trans pired was that the poem, in a fair, clerkly hand, was found near a skeleton of remark able beauty of form Mid color, in the Mu seum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's inn, and that the curator of the Museum hn,l thou) sent to Mr. Perry, of the .Th,rning Chronicle.] Behold this ruin !

The evening breeze rustles among its hoary trees, sweeping sadly the black rocky surface of the ground. The red light glances over the city. touching its domes and minarets with a last dying gleam, and the dreary hills are broken int o grand mosses of purple and vermil ion, while the glean below. where sleep millions of the sons of isreal. and the sad groves which shrouded the agony of ist are sin king into the shades of night.
