EMILIA MANILA.

Emilia Manin, the only child of the President of the
Venetian Republic, has been taken away from her father,
of whose lonely exile she was at once the affliction and
the solace. It may be remembered that Daniel Manin,
after the, heroic capitulation of Venice, chose France
for the land of his exile. He was accompanied by his
wife and only daughter. At Marseilles he lost, almost
suddenly, the devoted companion of all his troubles, and
he came to Paris a widower, with one care and one con-
ment of the last days of the independence of Venice,

Between the solicitudes of a constant and devoted
watchfulness by the side of the beloved patient, and the
noble necessities of a laborious poverty, the life of the
exile was one of austere and dignified humility, chas-
tened by grief, ennobled by patriotic recollections, and
cheered by the sympathy of inspiring friendships. His
alien home is now more darkly sad, and his loneliness
more profoundly desolate ; but he is rich in the affection
and esteem of all who in days of degradation honour
courage, and
nindany of
virtue.

were many who had personally known and appreciated

her exile,doubly embittered by affliction, she had but
