And, marching to the strife,
Let muscle thrill the brave ;
Above the clash of steel,
The shock of meeting foes,
The charger's clattering, heel,
The ringing twang of bows,

And Persia flies dismayed.
Castile is up in arms
Against the Moor to-day;,
Sword-clang and lona alarms

The atabal is heard,
Thrown by are light djerreeds,
And, on to conflict spurred,
Rush Yemen's milk-white steeds :
"II Allah !" loud and high,
Their turbaned riders cry.
Beat time upon the drum—
A brisker measure play—
Old England's warriors come
In thunder to the fray.
Their bayonets are bright,
In blood to redden soon—
Oh ! cheer them to the tight
• With still a bolder tune:
Ono shock, and all is o'er—
Crushed foes can form no more.
Ring out, wild bugle ! ring
Thy loudest, clearest note;
To horse the troopers spring,
While plume and pennon float
They charge, and fallen lie
The broken, hollow squares,
While quaver, sb,rill and high,
Gaul's ancient battle airs :
Thus music valor warms,
And nerves strong hearts and arms
Blow, plaided piper, blow
Some rousing Highland air,
For the victorious foe
Back Britain's bravest bear !

The clans raerat.the fight,
And while their muskets,blaze
Foes scatter wide in flight : ••.

A thrill in free born breasts ;

In the East Indies climbing plants (or,
vines) twine around trees a hundred feet
in height, which stand so close together
that the spaces between them are filled
up with canes and *under brush in such a
manner as tosrender the forest iropassa

a foot or more in diameter, are the lat .

The largest flower in the world is the

I hnzaid nothing by saying that the
largest pumps ever constructed were
made in Holland ; the Harlem lake con
tained 45,230 acres, but the Dutch, con
cluded to use the land for,farm purposes
and so they pumped the water out of the
lake into the sea, at the rate of 63 tons
per stroke of 11 pumps,—valves 6 feet
in diameter, 10 feet stroke.
They have serpents in Africa 100 feet
long ; according to the Rev. Dr. Livin
gston, they lie along the creeks, conceal
ed in the grass and bushes, and when a
thirsty lion goes down to the water for
a drink, they wrap themselves around
him, and in an instant after
.they have
brushed him to a jelly, swallow him
whole.
The largest suspended ceiling in the

One of the largest known diamonds
(according to the Gazetteer) was found
about 300 years ago on 'Motirit Land's

MArterads.---Lo'ok at, the great mass
of marriages which:take place over the
whole world ; what pooh contemptible

five or six weeks two' iheepish looking
persons are seen danglingon each ether's

THE EFFEaT OF MARRIAGII —Doubtless
you have remarked with satisfaction how
the little .oddities . of men who marry ra
ther late In, life are, pinned away speedi
tysifter marriage. You have found a
man who used to,bashabbily and
,care
lessly dressed; with a huge shirt , collar
frayed at the edges, and a glaring yellow
silk pocket-handkerchief, broken of these
and become a pattern of neatness. You
have seen a. man whose bait-and whisk
ers were , ridieulonsly cut, speedily be
nunlike. other
. human beings. You
have seen a clergyman.whoMOre along
beard,in alittle while appear without
one. You have seed - a.man,who used to
sing.ridiculous sentimental songs leave
them off. You have seen a man who
took snuff copiously, andwho generally
had his breant covered with snuff, aban
don ti ivile habit.
A wife is . " the grand . wielder of the
moral pruning•knife. If Johnson's.wife
had lived, there would haie been no
hoarding up of bits of orange peel ; no
touching all the posts in walking along
the street; no eating and drinking with
a diskusting voracity. . It Oliver Gold
smith bad been married, he would never
have worn that memorable and ridicu
lous coat: liVhenever you find a man
whom you know little about, oddlydress
ed, or talking ridiculously, or exhibiting
any eccentricity of manner, you may ,be
tolerable sure that he is not a married
man. Forthe little corners are rouuded
off, the little shoots are pruned away, in
married' men. Wives generally have
much more'senae . tlian their husbands,
especially when the husbands are clever
men. The wife's (Lavine are like the
