Oh .'who ever heard of such lore, As Juliet for Romeo borer It fillM every drop of her blood, And cut through her very heart's core. ButherCoz made a sharp shining sword, Just under Mercutio's rib halt; And so, to revenge this home thrust, Rash Romeo went and kill'd Tybalt. Says the prince, says he, "Romeo must go.' And far from Verona must fiy." Then Juliet, who lov'd Romeo so Began for to sithe and to cry. But Capulet, her father, he thought That Juliet continued to bellow, Cause Romeo had kill'd cousin Tvbalt,

And thought him an ornary fellow.

kind in the known world, he is derived from the old world, but instead of degenerating, has improved on the banks of the Columbia. Fineness of form, fullness of all the muscular parts, docility of spirit, capacity ta sustain great fatigue, to provide food for himself, and to hunt down the deer and the buffalo for his master, are a part of his characteristics. The Geology and mineralogy of the country v. ill present enquiries of great interest. Different parts of the region through which the river flows, exhibit clays and earths of great fineness ant1 most uncommon composition, from the properties of which th river is supposed to derive its peculiar qualities The Rocky mountains have not yet been e.vaniineJ. They are supposed to contain minerals, precious stones, and gold and silver ore. It is but of late they have taken the name of Rocky mountains, a name which imports nothing appropriate or peculiar, as all

jinouutains are rocky. By all the old travjcllers they are called shining mountains jfrom an infinite number of chrystal stones,

Then Romeo came from afar, With spirits of vitriol fill'd him. He found Paris close to her tomb, So he pull'd out his sword and he kill'd him.

Then down tumbled Romeo dead, Which Juliet wak'd up and saw ; And finding her dear lover sped, She stuck a sharp knife ia her craw. She didn't die rightly before, She liv'd, tho' her dangers were mighty ; But now she fell down on the floor, So both of them died very flighty. LINES, Written, by a Young Lady on a Window.
