true heart in a woman, She loves, and
loves forever" This faithful wife had
followed her husband through land Of
strangers, and over the painless sea,
through the crowded city and the bust
ling camp, till she found him stretched
on tho battle field. Perhaps she came
in time to receive his parting sigh, and
her spirit, quitting its wornout tenement
Of clay, winged its way with his to Him

MENZIKOFF,

Menzikoff, one of the most influential
friends and chief supporters of Catha-
rine I, vino placed her on the throne, ,and
who reigned under her name, exhibits to
US, in bis own person, child OF fortune
resembling the Empress herself The
origin and birth Of both are equally I'M
known. Most historians are agreed that
he was a coLfectioners boy, when Pc
ter the Great saw him for the first time
in the streets of Moscow. The young
prince was so struck with the under
standing and ready wit of Menzko off, tina.
he took him into his service; for IN this
manner did Peter select his household,
indentifying them with his own future
fame. Lefort his favorite, and to whose
genius he was so much Indebted, was a
native of Geneva, whom he engaged in
his service during visit TO Copenhagen.
Gordon, who formed his army, was a
Scotchmun, selected also by the Gear.
Menzkof was wholly devoted to his
masters glory, in which he had himself
no small share. Peter loaded him with
honors and wealth; and Menzikof kept
invariabIe complaisancc, blind submis-
sion, and such entire resignation, as
amounted almost to meanness; for more
than once the Gear was seen to publickly
whip him in the streets Of Moscow, not
withstanding which, he exhibited on the
following morning, still greater zeal and
devotion than ever to mis- master. On
the death Of Peter, who let no will the
talents and intrigue of Menzikoff SO
directed, as to have Catharine made sue
cessor to the throne. Under this sove-
reign Of his own creation, he became all
powerful; she allowed him to reign in
her name, either out of gratitude for his
services, or by transfer Of the implicit
obedience which she had been so long
accustomed to feel for her husband
She even wished him to retain his pow
er at her death, and directed her son
Peter the Second, in her will, to marry
the daughter Of the Minister. But the
arrogance of Menzikof, which he no
longer sought to restrain within any linn
its, his intrigues, his ambition and want
of respect for the young prince, at last
led to his ruin. He was unexpectedly
thrown into prison, his estates confiscat-
ed, and he received sentence of banish-
ment to Siberia. He died at Borosof,
in 1929, after an exile Of two years and
a half, in the greatest indigence.

there by night fall; but the day being
very sultry. he had loitered on the road


very sultry, he had loitered on the road
and at nine o'clock in ths evening
found he was still at considerable dis
lance from the proposed end Of his jour
ncy.-He was so much harassed and ia
tigued that he determined 10 put up for
the night at the first convenient house.
He at length entered an old romantic
building on the road side, inhabited by a
man and his wife, the former stout
muscular figure with a swarthy counte-
nance almost wholly shrouded in a mass
Of bushy whiskers and mustacbios. The
traveller was received with civility; and
after partuking of hearty supper, was
conducted up a crazy old staircase, to
his apartment for the night. Not much
fancying the appearance of the place,
and finding no lock on the door, he fixed
chair against it; and, after priming
his pistols put them carefully under his
pillow. He had not been long in bed
before he heard noise below, and Of
persons entering the house; and some
time afterwards, was alarmed by the
sound of mans footsteps on the air.
case. He then perceived light through
the crevice Of the door, against which
the man gently pressed for admttance,
but finding some resistance, he thrust it
open sufficiently to admit his hand, and
with extreme caution removed the chair,
and entered the apartment The Chew
alier then saw his host, with a lamp in
Que hand and knife in the other, ap-
preaching the bed on tiptoe. The
Chevalier cooked his pistols beneath the
bed clothes, that the noise Of the spring
might not he heard. When the man
reached the side of his bed, he held the
light to the Chevalieris face, who pre-
tended to be in a profound sleep, but
contrived nevertheless to steal a glance
at his fearful host.-The man soon
turned from him, and after hanging the
lamp on the bed post, went to the other
end Of the room, and brought to the bed
side chair, on which he Immediately
mounted, with the tremendous knife still
in his hand. AT the very moment that
the Chevalier was about to start up from
the bed and shoot him, the man, in
hurried manner, cut several enormous
slices from a peice of bacon that was
hanging over his bedstead, though it
had been wholly unnoticed before by
the agitated traveller. The host then
passed the light before his eyes again,
and left the room in the same cautious
manner in which he had entered it, and,
unconscious Of the danger he had esca-
ped, returned to u crowd Of new and
hungry guests below, who were Of course
not very sorry to perceive that he had

THE CEDARS OF LEBANON.

As we entered the last defile, the
minstrels and singers Of the caravan
commenced pBan. Affairs fumed from
various points Of the chasm above, and
the Syrian priests were seen in their
robes performing the empty rites of
idolatry. turned away from this per-
version Of human reason, and pressed
forward through the lingering multitude
until the forest rose in its majesty be-
fore. My step was checked in solemn
admiration. l saw the earliest produce
Of the earth the patriarchs Of the vegc-
table world. The first generation of
the reviving globe had sat beneath these
green and lofty arches; the final genera
ton was to sit beneath them. No roof
SO noble ever rose above the head of
monarchs, though it were covered with
gold and diamonds. The forest had
been greatly impaired in its extent and
beauty by the sacrilegious hand of war.
The perpetual conflicts Of the Syrian
and Egy :2tian dynasties laid the axe to
it with remorseless violation. 1t once
spread over the whole range ofthe moun-
tains; its diminished strength now, like
the relics Of a mighty army, made its
stand among the central fortresses Of a
native region; and there majestically
bade defiance to the further assaults OF
steel and fire. The forms Of the trees
seemed made for duration; the trunks
were of prodigious thickness, smooth
and round as pillars Of marble; some ris-
ing to great height, and throwing out
vast level Of roof Of foliage; some di-
vidng into cluster Of trunks and with
various height Of branch and leaf, ma
king a succession Of verdurous caves;
some propagating themselves by circles
| Of young cedars, risen where the fruit
had dropped upon the ground; the whole
bore the aspect Of colossal temple OF
nature-the shafied column, the deep
( arch, the solid butresses branching of
into the richest caprices Of oriental ar
chitecture; the solid roof high above
pale, yet painted by the strong sunlight
through the leaves with transparent and
tasse'Jated dy es, rich as the colours OF
| the Indian mine. In the momentary
feeling Of awe and wonder, could
( comprehend why paganism loved to
worship under the shade Of forests; and
why the poets of paganism filled tha,
shade with the attributes and presence
OF deities. The airy whisperings, the
loneliness, the rich twilight were the
food Of mystery. Even the forms thai
lowered before the eyes,-thoso an.
cient trees, the survivors Of the genera

aged heads in the blast, and utterinq
