T tee, I see it is coming fust,

Is as near her end as slid well can be ; '
And much will all vulgar eaters of bread
Rejoice when they see her Aiirly di ad :
I or never from ancient Media down
To the late Mrs. Eiownrigg, of bad renown,
Has pny rld dame Ijeeu known, they aver,
Who could .tarvfl and curve poor folks like her,
Rut dear old dunlsol, they wrong her f-ailly,
'T was all by law she behaved so badly ;
And God forbid, wlmte'er the event,
That free-born Bt itons should e'er repent
Wrongs done by Act of Parliament.
Eut it it indeed then come to this, . ;
After H mir course of high-brod bliss ?
Poor, dear old Corn Law prop of peers,
j And glory of squires through comities year, ,
j Must. all thy structure of pounds and pence,
Like another ltubylon, vanish hence ? '
Must toworing prices and rents sublime
Thus topple, like turrets touched by time,
And all, for what f that each shirtless oaf
May bolt, for'breakfust, a larger loaf!
For this one vulgar purpose alone
Is all this inelegant mischief done. "
.For this, poor Knatchbull hard privation
Must'lower a peg bis "social etationl"
For this, even luriln, (distressing thought,)
Will soon to Bhort criminous all be brought ;
Will fall with their wheat so much per quarter,
And et to look blue a Ducky's gartor.

Qcaint Idea or Pi.easlhis in Hfav:n.
Jeremy Taylor, speaking of the widow of a
blacksmith who was constantly laboring to pro
cure lira neceasaries of life, thus beautifully
but quaintly portrays her character:
'Thus she lived, poor, patient and resigned.
Her heart wss a passion-flower, bearing within
ft the crown of thorns and the cross of Christ.
Her ideas of Heaven were few and simple.
She rejected the doctrine that it was the placet
of constant activity, and notot repose, and bo.
lieved that when she at length reached it, slot
should work no more, but sit always in cha
while apron, and sing psalms."
The Rhinauthen Cocinen ia the rather bar!
and outlandish name of a flower, described br
writers as most beautiful one. It ia found i t
the greatest perfection in the woods of Cochin
Chins, where, if the accounts of travellers ar
correct, il uiakea the moetrplended appearance.
It ia represented aa not only rising to the top
of the highest trees, but as rising-over them;
and 'it so interlaces and festoons them that the
whole forest is hidden. When in flower the
whole is one mass of crimson and gold, of so in
tense color that tho eye can hardly bear to look
upon it-and the scent is as fragrant and rofr'-h -ing
as the colors are brilliant !'
