CHANGED HEADS. 
Should we the whole world travel o’er, 
From China’s wall to England’s shore, 
Among them all no place we’d find, 
To equal this that’s in my mind. 
Cut off my head, and in its place, 
Another plainly shows its face ; 
liaising me high on stately walls, 
Within whose sides lie sacred halls. 
Another change—cut off my head 
Again, and in its stead 
A caput strange securely hold: 
A foreign city I unfold. Henry.

The New Comers. 
When new scholars enter a school, the first day is a very 
awkward one for them, as the old scholars often behave 
in a very rude manner. The new comers feel ill enough 
at ease, from being in a strange place, and it hardly makes 
them feel more comfortable, to have all the old scholars 
stare at them and exchange looks, if not whispers, that 
evidently concern them. In the picture the new comers 
evidently feel in a quite different mood from the new 
scholars, and they show- no signs whatever of being 
bashful, or of being annoyed at the staring. The stran¬ 
gers are some newly imported French fowls, which are 
distinguished by a very curious comb, this, instead of 
being like that of common fowls, is in two parts, which 
stand up, one upon each side of the head, like two horns, 
and presents such an odd appearance, that we do not 
wonder that the rest of the inhabitants in the barn-yard 
stare at the strangers. The old gobler evidently does not 
mean to be astonished by any new fashions, but spreads 
his tail, swells up his wattles, and gets very red in the 
face ; the other birds are not to be behind, and one and all 
put on their best looks: nor are the new comers afraid to 
be looked at, they stand out in full view, and look back 
a^ain with a hearty good stare. We suppose this is the way 
these birds have of making an acquaintance, they do not 
have any one to formally introduce them, but they stare at 
one another until all hands are tired. It may be that the old 
rooster, who has been at the head of the barn-yard for a 
long time, will not be satisfied until he has a tusscl with 
the°new comer, to see who shall be masfer, but after 
a few days they will all get along without any trouble, 
and peck away at their corn in the quietest manner
