The tranquility Of the city was secured, the GRIM
inals were siezed, and the doge himself was guard
ed in his palace; but the council Of ten did not
consider itself fully authorized by the constitution
to sit in judgment on the chief Of the republic.
Twenty gentlemen Of the highest rank were sum-
moned to partake in its deliberations on this inpor-
tant occasion. This was the origin fthe powerful
and permanent body called the Giunto or Zonta.
The doge was brought before the council Of ten,
and the Giunta. He was confronted with the prin-
cipal criminals, who were afterwards sent to execu-
ton. He confessed the part he had taken in the
conspiracy, and on the second day of the proceed
ing was condemned TO death. He was beheaded
the 18th April, 1855, upon the grand staircase OF
the ducal palace, in the same place where the doges,
on assuming their functions, took the oath Of 6deli-
ty to the republic. During the execution Of his
sentence, the doors were kept shut, but immediate
ly after, a member of the council Of ten appeared on
the balcony, holding in his hand a bloody sword,
and exclaiming, Justice has been performed upon

TALES OF AN ITINERANT-IM. /.
1t was midnight, when in company with my itin-
Grant companions, | unloosed my gondola from the
shore of New-Madrld, ard proceeded on my jour-
ney down the Mississippi. The silver rays of a full
grown moon %glittered on the bosom Of the mighty
river, and tiuging the submits of the djacent high
lands, displaying their rude and rugged cliffs, and
verdant foliage, presented a scene formed by nature
in her merry moments to delight the fancy Of the
poet and the painter. A deathlike silence reigned
over creation, and the world seemed cemented i'll
.epose, save when the ripping of the waters and the
splashing Of the oarsman, on the bosom Of the CLASSY
food, broke upon the ear, and echoing through the
adjacent ravines and vallies, interrupted the stiffness
Of the midnight hour.
Waited down the current With intense rapidity
and Fastening towards my place Of desGnation-to
the home Of my fathers, | sat quietly beneath a
temporary awning that protected me from the
dew, of Heaven, contemplating the joys in waiting
.iranger-a land which held all that could max
life enviable or desirable. Casting my eyes toward
my native country, | beheld in perspective the
gladstone scenes Of my boyhood, and held converse
with those youthful companions who were sharers
in my juvenile joys and sorrows. If was ever hap
by it was at that moment, for ! was in full possession
of pleasures in anticipation, and tasted of those
sweets Of life, which fancy 10 the anticipating and
anxious mind so often affords, but which in reality
are seldom enjoyed.
Lost in meditation, and half entranced by the
fctions Of my imagination, | took " no note Of time'
or the objects that surrounded me, when sud
denly I was aroused from my ~contemplative
mood by the rollings Of the most terrific thunders
that ever burst upon the ears Of mortals. Not a
cloud was to be seen, and the gentle gale, which
had swelled the whitened sail ofmy gondola and ruf.
fed the limpid wave beneath il, ceased its cheering
blasts, and left the world en- veloped in silent sad
ness. In vain did ! gaze upon the skies to dis
cover what I supposed to be an approaching tenn
pest not a particle Of a cloud noated on the air, but
the crashing Of the thunden were reiterated, and

immortal spirit into the boundless ocean

a pang. Every other wound we seek to
heal-every other affection to forget.
But this wound we consider it a duty to
keep open-this affection we cherish and
brood over in solitude. When the tomb
is closing upon the remains of her whom
we most loved, and we feel the heart as

POETRY.
FROM THE U. s. LIrERARy GAzETTE.
ON AN OAK.


Which lately died of0ld age in St. James's Park.
Pride Of the forest, now laid low,
Thy children yet around thee grow,
And weep above thy shattered trunk;
Their younger beauties could not save
Thy glories all from natures grave,
Where now thy ancient form has sunk.
Full many a time beneath thy boughs
Have been the feast and full carouse,
The mirth aud glce Of merry bands;
Beneath thy widely spreading shade,
In idle daliance softly laid, .
Here lovers oft have joined theu hands.
And here the village lads with song,
And biack-eyed maidens once did itrong
To trip il in the may dance;
With merry jcer and laughing Joke
Would foot il round the noble oak,
And now retreat aud now advance.
The deer, quick bounding o'cr the glade,
Would pant beneath thy cooling shade;
Though hard beset, with toiling worn,
Would stop and listen anxious there;
Then instant start, in breathless fear, "a
When louu the huntsman wound his horn. y
Whole generations passed away,
And left thee still without decay
In all thy rich and verdant prime;
~ each race thou hast known the fame,
OF each king held the carved name,
Unfelt as yet the hand Of time.
Yet not alone have come to thee
The joyous sounds OF revelry,
Nor music Of the merry dance;
Tho weary warrior Oft has hung
His armour bright thy limbs among,
Against thy trunk oft leaned his lauce.
The fearless bands Of outlaws free
Long held thee as their thlsting tree,
And hlther brought their dangerous spoils;
Here proved their skill in martial feat,
Carouscd upon this grassy seat,
Or framed some plan for future tols.
On thy majestic head in peace
Rested thousand years increase.
An hour hath laid thy glories low;
The t%cmpest's power thou didst defy,
The lightning flash played harmless BY
But Hoary Time is Natures foe.

A FRAG MENT.

The sun arose on a fine morning in
June, in all his beauty and glory; the
pearly drops that hung OH the spires of
the meadows, shrunk away at his ap-
proach, the cattle on the mountains rose
and stretched themselves in gladness, and
regaled themselves on the rich verdure
moistened by the morning dew; the lark
scared high in the air, and sounded her
shrill matin song, and the less vocal birds
awaked by the sound, and joined in a
sort of confused harmony. The buxom
lad Sang a merry song as he fastened to
the field; and the rosy-cheeked lass. as
she sat by the window, looked out upon
the beautiful morning, and painted il on
her cheek with a smile. All, beautiful.
said l, is Nature. But at evening a diff
ferent scene was presented: a small cloud
appeared in the west, which kept rising
and swelling; the vivid lightnings began
to streak across his breast, and the dis
tant thunder seemed the foreboder of the
terrible; as it approached the zenith, the
winds arose, and with a sudden crash
tore the huge boughs from the oak ; the
mighty son Of the forest; the beasts ofthe
field looked astonished, and man gazed
in amazement. The rain poured down
in floods, the lightnings seemed to in
flame the whole atmosphere, and joined
with the mighty roaring of the wind, and
the crashing of the thunder, seemed TO
say that "all was lost" Terrible, said
l, art thou, o God of Nature.
YOUTH" Youth is the period of
frankness and of zeal, when the Young
heart, buoyant with hope in cheering
prospects, fills with joy, and expands in
all the brightness Of FaDcy's variety.
The ambition, here, and conflicting in
terests of the world, have as yet made
no inroad upon the mind ; the bosom is
a stranger to misery, the tongue to de-
ceit /; the eye glows with luxuriance of
pleasure, and the whole countenance pre-
sents an animated picture of health, and
intelligence illuminated with delight.
The playfulness or ~incaution of youth
may demand correction, or produce mo-
mentary pain /; but the tears of infancy
fall like the summers dew upon the yer-
dant slope, which the first CLEAN of the
returning Sun kisses away, and leaves
the face of nature tinged with a blush Of
exquisite brilliancy, but with no trace Of
the sparkling moisture which lately veil-
ed its beauty. This is the glitteriug period
life, when the gay perspective of the
future seems clothed in every attractive
hue, and the objects Of this world assume
a grace divine ; then it is that happiness,
borne on the wings Of innocence, and
|ighthearted mirth, attends our every step.
and seems to wait obedient to our will.
How full Of exquisite sweetness are
hose tears which flow from a truly noble
neart, at the hearing Of any action or
conduct surprisingly great and glorious!
Antisthenes wondered at mankind, that
. buying an earthen dish, they were care
ul to sound it less it had a crack; vet
50 careless in choosing friends as 10 take
them fawed with vice.

Religion in Woman.-As in man, is not only " of
the operation of God" but the result of reflection,
comparison and choice, and consists in a cheerful and
happy renunciation of all the heart holds deur. for
Jesus Christ, and of every opposing interest for his
kingdom and glory-and this is her distinguished
excellence. Let the fear Of God, and the love of
Jesus Christ, control her domestic virtues let the
humility, patience, faith, hope, charity and ~resigna-
ton, of the gospel, become interviewer with her
personal accomplishments, and sweeten and govern
her conduct, and how lovely is such Il woman II
has freq uently been remarked, that pious women
are not only more numerous, but more pious, than
pious men. How infinitely superior are her charm,
to all the Vaccinations OF beauty, all the splendor of
external accomplishment, and all the delicious ioy,
of giddy dissipation! How invaluable does such a
woman appear, adorned and ~dignifed, not only by
all that earth can give, but decked in the robe, Of
that piety and loveliness which earth can neither
give nor take away.

Every man should aim to do one thing
we'll. If he d~issipates his attention on
several objects, he may have excellent
talents entrusted to him, but they will
be entrusted to no good end. Concen-
trated on his proper object, they might
have a vast energy; but dissipated on
several, they will have none. Let other
objects be pursued indeed; but only so
far as they may subserve the main pur-
pose. By neglecting this rule | have
seen Frivolity and Futility written Oh
minds of great power; and, by regarding
it., | have seen very limited minds acting
in the first ranks of their profession-l
have seen a large capital and a great
stock dissipated, and a man reduced to
beggary; and ] have seen a small CAPT
tai and stock improved to great riches.
