	way to the guard chamber shewn in the annexed cut. The circular door-head is formed of a single block of stone, which had been broken and thrown from its original situation. Similar stones have often been found near the gateways of stations, and their use is now fully determined. In the department alloted to minor antiquities will be found many objects of interest. With respect to the little tobacco-pipe bowls, we may observe that their comparative diminutive size may well be explained by the fact that in the time of Queen Elizabeth tobacco was sold at five guineas the ounce, and that in after-times those who indulged in the expensive luxury of smoking were accustomed in buying it to throw five shilling pieces into the opposite scale.
sonnet   William Wordsworth
	Sonnet for William Wordworth SONNET. On my first and only visit to the Poet Wordsworth, shortly previous to his death, when he regardfully presented me with a walking-stick, which had been an old and much-used favourite. WORDSWORTH, bard of the heart! my pulse beat high To meet the tearful welcome in thine eye. We ne'er before, and ne'er again could meet; The meeting tender, and the greeting sweet. Each had the other known, but as a dream: Our sympathy soon kindled with our theme - COLERIDGE:- the wonders of whose bygone days Each had in ample share the power to praise. Thine were his later years: mine, when as boys We tasted first of life, it's cares, and joys. We parted: and at parting paused to bless. Ere the deep farewell of our last caress A staff thy gift, as with a friend to roam. - Ah! No. It bides, for aye, the glory of my home. C. V. LE GRICE. Trereise, Cornwall.
