The shadows of life surround ns on all sides,

may be 'compared to a long avenue of , trees, in I
the centre of which is a board strip of gloriosa l
light, and on each side gloomy masses of dark- I
nese, that seem struggling to meet and devour
that delicious track of brilliancy.
So it is with man ; .on each side of him are
shadows; but he May avoid their if he choose or I
make as much use of them as the weary travel- 1
ler does when be shelters himself in their repose
from the too scorching rays of the son. Dark-
neva has its Sees as well as light; it is the earth's'
Couch,

districts of England; and which all love for

tions were rather of a sombre character.'
"We are but shadows after alt.!" be muttered
half aloud. "We creep on' ike this shadoW,
and then vanish in the deeper darkness of the
night. Not so this shadovr; round and round it
goes fur ages, marking the brief time which Man
has carved out of the infinite. But, all met' I
fear my lot will be a brief shadow,..a - stalking
gloom, traversing threuglf a few Years, and then
be swallowed up in the hideous eight of the

"Say not so, Frank I" exclaimed s gentle voice,
as a hand light as the touch of a feather was. laid
on his shoulder. Re started, and a gleam of joy
shot over his features as he recognieed the speak

"Say not so, prank .1" repeated.the maiden- for.
such she was, "this shadow teaches us, our duty;

THE HEAD OF OLIVER CROM-
WELL.
[NW& correspindienee of Me N. Y. Express.]
Before leaving England I histean opportunity
of seeing a great curiosity, a relic of antiquity,
which few Englishisien have seen. Yon will be
surprised, and perhaps incredulous, when I say I
have seen the head ;,/ Oliver Cromwell—not the
;mere skull, but the head entire, nut in a state of
remarkable preservation. Its history is authen
tic, and there is verbal and historical evidence to
`place the thing beyond. cavil. Cromwell died , at
Hampton Court in 1658, giving the strongest eel
dein.: of hie earrieet religious convictions, and of
his sincerityias a Christian. After an imposing
funeral pageant, the body having been embalm
ed, he was buried in Westminister Abbey. On
,the Reetoratlon of the Stuarts be was taken up
and hang is Tyburn. Afterwards his head was
cut offos pike driven up through the neck and
skull, and upoa ed on Westminiater Ball. It re.
ruined there a long while, until, by some` vio
lence, the 'pike was broken and the bead thrown
down. It was picked up by a soldier and con.
culed, and afterwards conveyed to some friend,
who kept it carefully for years. Through a sue
*union of families, which can easily be traced, it
hiss come into the possession of thereaughter of
Ron. Mr. Wilkinson, ex-member of Parliament
from Buckingham and Bromley. It was at the
residence of this gentleman that I saw the bead,
and -his daughter, a lady of fine manners and
great culture, exhibited it to Rev. Mr. Verret, the
_putty of the Bromley Dissenting Chapel, and
myself.
:Thislioad of Cromwell is almost entire. The
flesh is black and sunken, but the fisattiras are
nearly perfect, the hait still remaining and GM
the large wart over one of the eyes—such being
a. distinctive mark on his face—is yet perfectly
visible. The pike which was thrust through the
neck itill remains, the upper part of iron, nearly
matted olf,-and the lower wooden portion is splin
ters, showinglhat-it.wes broken by some act of
violence. It is known historically that Cromwell
ROA embalmed, and no person thus oared for was
ever publicly gibbetted, except this illustrious
than. rln addition to the most authentio records
eouthirriing t-he bead possessed by the family, and
whioh I have found eustained by historical works,
and even an old manuscript in the British Muse
um, Mr. - - Plume, the distinguished sculptor,
elm gave it, as his opinion that this was none
other than the head of Oliver Cromwell. Yet Its
existence seems almost unknown in England, and
only a few years ago a disounion in some of the
public journels whioh I have seen alternately de-
nied and advocated it. Such a rumor was in
circulation and as no one had then seen the head,
it having been kept concealed, none could speak
by authority. Recently the motive for conceal
ment has passed away, and permission to see II
was carefully granted. It is a curious keep-sake
for a lady, but it Is carefully preserved ander lock
and key in a box of great antiquity, wrapped in
a nuriber of costly -envelopes, and when it Is
mind from italiding place and held in one's
hand, what a world of thought is suggested
SNORING.
: The fulliwing story of a death caused by nor
lug, is entirely authentic:-st
Rrythrmust relates that when Cardinal Bantle
oglits—a s'atuilsr equally elegant and laborious
Was called to sit in the Conclave, for the election
of a successor to Urhan the summons found
him much exhausted by the literary vigils to
which he was addicted. Immured in the sacred
place, (stohis the onstom while the Pope is not
Yet chasten, (his lodging was assigned along side
of a Cardinal,-whose snoring was so incessant and
se terrible, that poor Retntivoglio ceased to be able
to obtain even the little sleep which his studies
and - his cares nermllyperrnitted him. After sae
4an bights of insomnolenoe thus produced, he was
thrown into a violent fever. They removed him
and be slept--but waked no more.
