Foreign News.-By accounts from Europe,
to a late date, it appears that affairs in Russia
had become entirely tranquil under the new
Emperor, Nicholas. In England great mer-

many heavy failures had taken place. Bust

1t will be seen that the tide in the Greek
affairs had taken another ttssa, and was set

the European system of tactics there is reason
10 believe they may yet expel their invaders.

OF his generous actions, gave occasion
for the world to call him the patron OF
The poor. This excellent man had a
constant custom, once week, to give
public audience to all INDECENT people,
in the hall OF his palace, and TO relieve
every one, according to their various
necessities, and the dictates of his own
benevolence. One day, poor widow,
encouraged by he fame OF his bounty
came into the hail OF this cardinal, with
her only daughter, beautiful maid,
about fifteen years OF age. When her
turn came to be heard, among a crowd
OF petitioners, the cardinal observing the
marks of an extraordinary modesIy IN
her lace and carriage, as also IN her
daughter, encouraged her 10 tell her
wants freely. Upon which her eyes
filing with tears, she thus addressed
herself 10 him " My lord, | owe for the
rent OF my house five crowns, and such
is my misfortune, that have no way
lett to pay II, and my landlord threatens
TO turn US out. What l beg oil you is,
that you would be pleased to interpose
on our behalf, and obtain tor US little
time, ill by hsnest industry, we can
procure the money Tor him" The car
dlnal moved with compassion tor the
poor waman's distress, bid her be oil
good courage: then he Immediately
wrote a note, and giving it into the wo-
mans hand, Co" SAID he, "to MY
steward, and he shall deliver thee five
crowns to pay thy rent" The widow,
overIoycd, and returning the cardinal a
thousand thanks, went directly 10 the
steward and gave him the order. When
he had read it, he counted oot hiiy
crowns, saying, she mentioned no more,
and she was sure /! was some mistake.
On the other. hand, the steward insisted
On his masters order, not daring to call
il in question. But all the arguments
he could use, were insufficient to pre-
val! on her TO take any more than 1--we
crowns; she astonished al the circum-
stances,a land mol knowing what the cardl-
nal had wrItlen, refused 10 take above five
crowns. Wherefore to end the coniro
versy, he offered to SO back with her
10 the cardinal and refer it TO him.
When they came before that benevolent
prince, and he was fully informed o! the
business, alt is true" said he, " mis-
took IN writing fifty crowns, give me the
paper and | will reclify it," Upon which
he wrote again, saying to the woman,
:" so much modesty and virtue deserves
a recompense, here | have ordered you
five hundred crowns; what you can
spare OF 1t, lay up as a portion TO give
with your daughter in marriage"

POOR COFFIN.

not received that sympathy from Bostohians
which his talents and misfortunes demand.
During his residence in distant cities the pc.
etical effusions he published under his favo-
rite signature had no little influence in &C.

THE MINSTREL'S GRAVE.
If e'er pure, sacred tear,
From PHYS beaming eye can flow,
IT'S surely when deaths stroke severe
Has laid the son of genius low
Each ardent friend, each former foe,
His bier with precious dew-drops lave,
And mirth assumes the garb of woe,
And weeps upon the minstrel's grave.
The trivial throng whose tickle praise.
His strains sought vainly to engage,
Now mourn too late his sighted lays.
And wet with tears his hallowed page;
The timid maid, the studious sage,
Deplore his fate whom none can save,
And blooming youth and hoary age,
Sigh sadly DER the mnstrel's grave.
His fondest pride, his magic Tyre,
Hung on the laurel must remain,
And none shall dare to wake its fire,
And none shall rouse its strings again;
Save when they breathe a mournful strain,
As passing winds the branches wave,
To tell the thoughlless and the brave,
They wander near minstre's grave.
No cypress sad or gloomy yew,
Ger his loved form shall darkly cling,
But weeping beauty there shall strew,
The fairest flowers of the spring;
Soft gales around shall fragrance fling,
Fresh flow'rets DER his tomb shall wave,
And nightingales shall sweetly sing
A requiem at the mustrels grave.
