ISABELLE AND HER SISTER KATE.
mistakes and misunderstanding are not
such bad things after all, at least not al
ways so circumstances alter cases.
/ remember case quite in point. Ev-
ery body in the country admired Isabelle
Edmonds, and in truth she was an admira-
bic creature, just made for admiration and
sonneteering, and falling in love with; and
accordingly all the county Of was in
love With her. The columns of every Ar
gus, and Herald, and Sentinel, and Gazette,
and Spectator, and all manner OF newspa-
pers, abounded with the e6fnsions, supplica-
tory and declamaaory, of her worshippers:
in short, Miss Isabelle was the object Of alt
the spare ideally in all the region round
about. Now, shall not inform my re-
spected readers how she looked; you may
lust think of Venus, a Psyche, Madon-
ma, fairy, an angel, and SO forth. and you
will have a very definite idea on the point.
l must run ON with my story. l am not
about to choose the angel for my heroine,
because she is too handsome, and too
much like other heroincs for my purpose.
But Miss Isabelle had sister, and think
I shall take her. Little Kate for she
was always spoken OF in the diminutive.
was some years younger than her sister.
and somewhat shorter in stature. She had
no pretensions to beauty-none at all -
vet there was certain something, cer-
tain-in short, sir, she looked very much
like Mrs. A. or Miss G.. whom you admire
so much, though you always declare she is
not handsome.
1t requires very peculiar talent to be o.
verlooked with good grace, and in this
talent Miss Kate excelled. She was as
placid and as happy by the side Of her bril-
liant sister, as any little conisnted star that
for ages had twinkled on unnoticed and al-
most eclipsed, by the side Of the peerless
moon. Indeed, the only art or science in
which Kate ever made any great proficien-
CIV, was the art and science Of being hap
Nv. and in this she so remarkably exceIled,
that one could scarcely be in her presence
half an hour without feeling unaccountably
comfortable themselves. .
She had world Of sprightliness, a deal
of simplicity and affection. with dash OF
good r,atured shrewdness. that after all,
kept you more in awe than you would ever
suppose you could be kept, by such mer-
ry, good-na,ured little nobody. Not one
Of Isabelle's adorers ever looked at her
with such devoM admiration as did the
laughter-loving Kate. No one was SO rea-
dy to run, wait and tend-to-be up stairs
and down stairs, and every where in ten
minutes, when Isabelle was dressing for
conquest in short, she was, as the dedica-
tons of books sometimes set forth. her Ia
dyship's most obedient, most devoted SER
want.
But if 1 am going to tell you my story, I
must not keep you all night looking at pic
lures so now to my tale, which shall
commence in manner and form the follow
ing:
valedictorian and far off cousin Of the
two sisters came down to pass few months
of his free-agency at their fathers; and.
as aforesaid, he had carried OF the hrst col
lege honor, besides the hearts OF all the
ladies in the front gallery at the last COM
mencement.
So interesting SO poetic such fine eyes.

THE FAIRY HOME,

Me,hought as stood on a jutting rocks side.
And gazed on the mirror Of oceans deep tide,
I saw through the wave,
Ii coral-liLe cave, 81
The queen Of the fairies in pastime and play,
Entwining her hair with the beams Of the day.
I gazed on her beauty with transports Of joy,
And Ionged to engage in the elfn employ,
So down through the wave
To that coral-like cave,
plaDged where the queenfairy danced as she suOg,
The sides Of whose dome were with diadems strung.
The home Of the fairies below the deep sea,
Seemed holy, and happy, and lovely 70 me;
Iis breezes so pure,
And its joys SO mature,
Delighted, entraoced by the magical spell,
roamed Ger it's mountain, its rock, and is dell.
In meadow, in garden, in hover and 10 glade,
Mid poplOrs and elms, Of exciting played.
In sports like the (awn,
SpriDging quick Ger the lawn;
Each pool was fountain, each bush had lie rose,
And soft was the light as at midsummer flows.
So long was my fancy engaged in it's dreams,
Dispor.ing in love with the magic suns beams; .
When reused from my trance,
And the mystical dance,
I saw there no longer the fairy queens dome,
Blu. gazed with delight on my own native home:

WOLFE AND MoNTCALM.

1t will be remembered that Wolfe and Mont
calm fell on the heights of Abraham. BY this
victory, the Canadas passed into the possession
of the English. to whom they were afterwards
duly coded by treaty. Still the French predo-
inmate in Lower Canada and will continue for
many years TO come. to outnumber the English
population. The erection of National Monu-
ment became, therefore, a delicate Natter
Wolfe was the pride of England but Montcalm
was the glory of France. The happy thought
then occurred to Lord DalhOusie, we believe, OF
erecting a single monument to both. But then
came the difficulty of writing the inscriptions.
Both nations must be pleased; at least neither
must be offended. The result was that they re-
NAMED unwritten for long time.
The Inscriptions, however, to the memory Of
these brave men, have recently been written,
and will shortly be engraved in their proper
place. 1t was supposed by travellers that the
great difficulty of composing an inscription
which would record to the satisfaction of the
mixed population OF Canada, the virtues Of the
victor and the vanqushed, prevented. the at
tempt; bnt it appears that other considerations
had their influence. 1t was supposed by some
that the mere absence of the inscriptions con-
stituted beauty. There was something Of this
feeling excited in refined imagination but
we are disposed to believe that the inscriptions
will enhance the influence of this fine monu-
ment on the general mind.
twas on a beautiful morning in August, 1880,
that we first beheld the Monument of Wolfe
and Montcalm. A stately British Grenadier,
clothed in the imposing dress of his regiment,
paced quite solemnly to and fro. When we
had examined the monument, and were about
to retire, we felt some disposition to ascertain
what effect it produced on the British army-a
result which We proposed to reach by testing its
influence on the mind of the fine looking grena-
der before us.
We accordingly hailed him with the inquiry
to whom the monument was erected? Touch
ing his cap very politely, he FASTENED TO the
obelisk to read its inscription and of course,
not finding what was not to be found, he stated
that it must be unfinished and declared his ig-
norance of its object. This incident strongly
illustrates the necessity Of an inscription on
monuments designed to affect the mind and in
spire the feelings of all.
This monument, if it does not attest the ar
chitectural excellence of Quebec, renders more
vivid those historical associations which are so
intimately connected with this ancient city
The inscriptions are in good taste; written how
ever, in Latin the universal language of the
learned; but not ineligible to the great major.
ity Of those who may be disposed to read an in
scripton. In this respect it is reprehensible;
but from the two languages prevalent in Cana

wise been written.-Nortoik Beacon.

BURNING OF THE STEAMBOAT CYGNEr.-On Tues
day night, at about IL o'clock, the Steamboat
Cygnet, lying at Janney's wharf in this town,
was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was
Immediately given; but in very short time the
boat was completely enveloped in tlre, and il
was found impossible to save her. She burned
to the waters edge.
At one time danger to the shipping in the i'm.
mediate neighborhood Of the burning boat was
apprehended;-bu owing to timely exertions
no damage was done. The Brig Tribune, near.
est to the Cygnet, was hauled into the stream.
and proper precautions taken to preserve the
other vessels in the adjacent docks. Owing to
the praiseworthy exertions of the fremen, also
the wharf at which the Cygnet lay was preserv.
ed, although it was frequently on fire.
So rapid was the progress of the flames, that
the hands, asleep on board at the time, barely
escaped before the boat was on fire in every
part The origin of the disaster was entirely
accidentaI-the fire, no doubt, having been
communicated TO the wood work from the heat
of the furnace. The wreck of the boat has
been secured at the wharf where she burned.
The Cynet was owned by Messrs. Bradley
g. Co. of Washington, and was the boat for.
merly employed to carry the mail to Potomac
Creek She has latterly, however, been engag.
ed in plying between Washington and Alexan.

PosT OFFICE DEpARTMENT.-We referred in
yesterdays Gazette to the refusal of the Post
Master General to answer call of the Senate's
Committee for information as to the causes of
the removal of the Postmaster at Putnam, Ohio
This case is an important one. The National
Integencer furnishes us with the following par.
ticulars:
"Mr Stafford, an honest, faithful, and intelIi
gent officer, had been removed, and man Of
bad character appointed in his place, who af
ter being permitted to hold the Office fifteen or
eighteen months, without ever making a return
to the Department, absconded, with the avals
Of the. Office in his pocket; and the Department
has permitted the claim against the sureties 10 lie
without suit, until they are released from their 70
sponsibity. The committee, it appears, inQur.
! ed into the causes ofthe removal OF Stafford, and
J Of the appointment of Heron, his successor
! The Postmaster General refused to give the in.
formation, and the Government paper joins the
Postmaster General in assailing the commit
tee for asking it. Such is the case on which
the Head of the Department has joined issue
with the committee, and has set their authority
at defiance"
If such case as the above does not warrant
Committee appointed to investigate the con.
Germs of the Post Office, in calling for some in.
formation in relation to it, we do not know what
use there is in attempting an investigation.
The Post Master General has, in the publica.
ton of his PROTEST, been equity of gross
violation of official propriety" 1t will avail
him nothing, however. The people see and
know that " he loves darkness rather than light
because bis deeds are evil"
