When emeralds waved on every boiifh, ; And the Jiills'were clad in gold ; When the sky abov e" was a sapphire 'clear, Where the maon like opaV hung, .

' the tenth century, llts history isaeiies of reraark able events, some; of 'vjiich' ivcc entirely fabulous ; but the lives of such men are worthy of our atten- - tion, as they serve to' show the taste and manners : ,of ' the ages in wliid- they live., and tha. sort of talents and occoirpltshuieiits which were necessary . 'to-the success of public" -njen.- Dunstan is said to have been a man of distinguish- (: ed birth, and to have passed the early part of his life' in -.pleasure and -dissipation. He was e"ideiitiy, ; however, a :erson of extraoidinarv natural en . 'dowjhents.' He showed -early an ambitious spirit, and learned any new art which attracted liis atten- l tiori, with- surirising" facility. While engaged in V the pursuit of pleasure,' he ovas suddenly brought into a ierlons state ofsmind-by a dangerous illness, an which he was given over by the physicians. He lay f'tr some time apparently .t the point pf death, when suddeEJy,-as we .are told, an angel appeared, brinsintf a iiietlieiue wliich effected ah instant! cure. I Dunstau immediately rose from his bed, and has- 'tened t the nearest church to return thanks .for.- liis recovery, I Ashe passed along, the devil, surround ed bv a pack-of -black dogs,; got before him to ob- . .

'Dunstaw, how ever, did ivot Ihc ..the lazy life of. -a monk; he pursued his studio -with tlie utmost ardor, atid made great : proficiency in philosophy, painting, " ItturP arid music. Above all. he was an'ex- -;l t ? .v ... -w 1 " 1- J ! and executed fine workmanship in ; gold.

" ! .l)uririo- ail 3-these penakcee mid -studies, he ap- pears to have . become a prey "to extraordinary vis ' ' onsand iiuaiuauous. Amoig other visioiis, he had one' of-ihe? devil", who,- as hebelieved, ope night poked. his head into the window of his oeil and V v'i'righteued Dunstan almost out of his wits by the i : wry fiices and (broad grins' which lw-exhiWted and the saucv lanrruae he uttered. -But Dunstan at . length pluckeii up cburae, and seizing, a pair of .. red-hot tongs, whiclrhe luckily had in the tire -at that moment, caught Qld .Nick by the nose and made' him roar so lustily that .the whole neignbor hood echoed with his bellowings. We are rather A disposed to guess that this .was some red-nosed old tbver. who wished to take a sly peep at the bache- lor's hall of the saint, and got this hot pinch for his impertinence. This, however, is purely .con jecture of ours ; thelEnglisb, for many centuries, so V firmly believed it to be tlie devil, that the represen ;H tations of the ftdrentura Were repeated from age to aw. in ancient carviB'rs and painted glass in - church-windows. 1 u j v This was the precise period at which the Pope ; ''and'-his adherents were gaining the greatest . ascen dency in Ihe fjliristain world. It was a question v wucn aeoateq wjieuier priests suouiu mani irs. Dunstan, was against marrying, and by his iipuence . and" arts, he caused the; prohibition of inarriage ' to be established among the English lergy. They . had held three successive synods or eoclesiasjfal assemblies on Shis subject without agreeing ; wid f those who wished for w ives would have carried i thw point, had not Dunstan and his party prac . tised tricks which in that day passed for miracles. 1- ' . :At one time they hid a person behind a crucifix, "' and in the midst of , a dispute, turned towards it ' and requested k to speak in confirmation of whai . they had said ; ob which a voice came from behind! nt, which the credulous "multitude, being ignorant ; of the imposition that -was' ' practised upon tliem, . - believed it to be tlie voice of a wooden cross. ; "At another time they were engaged in a hot dispute in a certain hall with a floor of timber and rafters.; and when Dunstan's opponents would not yield, he cried out that Heaven would work a - mifaele to show which side was right. Immediate ly the floor gave way, and tumbled one half the assembly heels over head into .the cellar, while ' . Dunstan and his party, whohad prepared the.trick and knew what was coming, ptood at the safe end : of the halland laughed , to see their," opponents sprawling and floundering below. How many bones were broken we are not told, but in those valorous times, they made little account of a man's neck, when their passions or their interests , roused tnem to hostility with one another. rsy these and similar tncks,i Dunstau gained the reputation of a maa of superior powers." He was made afebott of Glastonbury, one of the most power ful ecclesiastical dignities in England, and after, treasurer of the kinerdoia. "Durinsr the rekm of King Exlward, Dunstaa was supreme ruler in the Church, and managed the treasures of the king dom at Iris pleasure. When the affairs of England icuhho. xoniusion, m consexj&ence oi reDeinon, Dunstan made and unmade kings at his pleasure, and took for himself the Koe of Archbishop of Canterbsiyl After his death, be was made a saint. In the history of Dunstan we have a lively pic ture of the means by which ambitious men accom plished their purposes, m the darkness of the tenth century, -Dunstaa' seems, to feave possessed all those talents whieji might, in any age, be sufficient to raise a man to -distuiction. ' Y-et it would appear that his talents , would have been useless, had he not stodped to low arts and petty tricks adapted to the gross prejudices of his coteiaporaaies. A West Indian, who had a reaiarkably .fiery nose, sleeping in' his 'chair, a negro boy who w-as in waiting, lerved a asouk) hovetinr about' his face.
