The Polfsh Heroine. .

Claudia Potocki was born in the Grand Duchy of
Posen, in 1902. She was the lineal descendant OF
that Dzia ynsk who, in the beginning OF the seven
teenih century, was sent by Sgismundns ILL.,, as an
ambas sador to Queen Elizabeth, to remoastrate
against the infracton of treaty between England
and p Psand, and whose eloquence and boidness OF
speech-though the latter rather startled the suscCF
tibity of the powerful queen-ale recorded by the
historians of both nations together with hlgh en-
comium passed over the performance Of his success
ful mission.
Previous to the great political convulsion, whicA
imposed other duties upon Claudia, her life gded
happily and cheerlay on, in the midst of youthful
pleasure and those serious studies towards which her
taste inclined. In 1924 she was marri d to Count
Bernard Potocki. The explosion OF the 26th OF No
vember, $780, disturbed her qaiet and uniform exist
ence, and called forth thos. virtues which have made
her name 80 dear to Poland. Claudia was then re-
siding m the irand Duchy Of Posen. The first APP
peal oihelr native country received by the youth
of that ancient province with universal burst Of en-
thuslastic sympathy. In defiance Of the vigilance OF
the Prussan corps stationed along the frontiers not
wthstanding the threat of the Prussan government
thousands oil citizens crossed the armed
line and hastencd TO the support of their brethren
The patriotic exeruons and muniicence of Claudia,
urged and enabled many TO swell their ranks She
soon reached the capital of the free kingdom; and
though she did not JON those intrepid hcrones, who
|" all unsexed dared the deed Of war; and staked
with Mnerva's step where Mars might quake 10
tread" yet her services in the national cause were
neither less useful nor less perIlous.
The hospitals Of Warsaw were the scene Of her
heroic devstion; there, accompanied by many dis
tingnished associates and suuoundedb by many wound
ed warriors and those stricken with malignant chole-
ra, she sacrificed every thing to the duties she had
undertaken. Seated by the couches OF the scl dur
ing seven successive months, she was constantly oc-
cupicd in dressing their wounds and aevating their
sufferings. Neither the sight Of hdeous gashes nor
the fear of contaeon deferred her from her course
Of persevering charity. One Of the richest and most
gifted ladies' the daughter of Dzinynski and the wife
Of Potock, became the humble and attentive nurse Of
Polands brave sons. Such modest and unostenta-
tious devotion is truly heroic, and perhaps more
profound than that displayed the field Of battle
When tse day Of adversely came Countess Claudia
accompanied the Polish army in its retreat TO Modn
there, in the midst Of general confusion, she ono,
procured truss Of straw on which to repose he

CURIOUS INSTANCE OF THE AGENCY OF THE DEVIL
The occasion of the first peoplng of America was
this: that the devil being alarmed and surprised by
the wonderful success of the Gospel during the first
three hundred years after Christ and by the downfall
of the heather empire in the time of Constantine, and
fearing that his heahenish kingdom would be wholly
overthrown, led away people from the other CONT
nent into America, that they might be quite out of
the reach of the Gospel, and others into northern
cold regions that are almost inaccessible that he
might quietly possess them and reign over them as
their god.-Joaattan Edicards's History Of Redemp-

Wow STRAW HATs-A new manufactr re has been
introduced INTO the west of Scotand-the weaving of
straw hats. The straw, instead of being plated by
the hand, is woven by the loom, the warp employed
being slender thread of silk, which unites the straw
firmly together, and produces very beautiful fabric.
Ii is woven in pieces of twelve yards long, and about
an inch broad the one edge exhibiting ornamental

THE Moss RosE.-very little faith is to be placed in
the assertions of persons ignorant of gardening and
botany as to the date of the introduction of particular
plants; as proof of which maybe given the remark
able fact, that Madame de Genlis, when she was in
England, saw the moss rose for the first time in her
life; and, when she returned took plant to Paris in
order to introduce it into France; though the fact is
that il was originated in Provence. The musk rose,
Hakluyt tells us, in 1892, was first obtained from
Italy; and il also was common in the time Of Gerard
The single yellow rose was known to Gerard but
no, the double, which was brought to England from

WoSpEnFrL SAGAcITY OF A DoG.-As Alexander

his garden attended by his ithfuldog, he sci

passing the out side of the garden wall and, by pull
ing and tearing his clothes caused him TO stop. The
dog leaped the garden wall, but seeing that the man

master extended lifeless the ground. He was in

able-that q sovereign Power has as
perfect right to dispose of the whole
oEitself, and a second Power to acquire
that part only; and that the acquisition
Of the whole territory of a sovereign
Power could no more be objected to on
the ground Of constitutional right, than
the acquisition of a part Of that terrific
ry only. The material difference al
luded TO oy Mr.. Forsyth, between the
annexation of independent Texas, by
her own voluntary act, and the acqui-
sition Of the colonial provinces of Lou
isiana and Florida, by the act of their
respective governments, is acknowled-
ged. But the difference is conceived
to be altogether in favor Of the former,
for the reason that the annexation of
Texas would be an act of free will and
choice on the part of the government
and people, who own, and actually &C.
cupy the very territory proposed to be
transferred, while the latter would
seem to have been the result of an ar
bitrary right on the part ofthc metrop-
Olitan governments, to dispose Of the
territorial possessions coded by them,
without regard to the wishes of the in
habitanls residing thereon.
Should it be found necessary or ex-
pcdient hereafter, for the proper pro
motion of the interests Of her own citi-
zcns, to lay high duties upon the cotton
bagging so extensively manufactured

pork and beef and bread stuffs, so album

WSCeGISg NSAlO tEO OOGOEUSOWS.
Once more we've met! between our lives,
long years
Have glIded by! but thou art still the same;
And still we're toiIing on thro' hopes & fears,
And seeking still the ldfty heights of Fame,
But thou art toiling thro' this vale of tears,
With eyes uplifted to thy Saviour's name
And now beyond the clouds of time, thou
seest afar
The eternal Light--the Cross Of Christ
thy guiding star.
Once more we we met! still young! thy
locks are dark
The frosts Of Time have not yet fallen !spring
Is with US yet. o! may we live to mark
its lapse-see what our summers too may
bring!
May thy old age be greenland when the
spark
Of life is Out-thy ardent soul ta'cn wing,
Then with thy form, pure, bright immOr-
tai groan,
Soar to a higher realm, and know it as
thy own.
Once more we We met! as ships that dance
along
The seattle waves oil have tost us here;
But soon we re borne apart, the current
strong
or destiny is hurrying On-'he time is near
That parts our handS-perhaps for aye!
Ere long
The tomb beneath our feet may ope ! fear,
And may knecl in grief beside thy mar
row home,
Or thou remember Death beside my
funeral stone.
Once more we we met! the little banC o
friends
Who linked their hands with ours round
learning's shrine;
May never meet US more! Far as the ends
or Earth they re scattered now: their
paths may &ind
Ger Spanish cliff, and Isles, but each one
tends
Where all shall meet--the grave!-And
there we'll find
That dreamless rest which now the i'm
passioRed Douglass knows,
And he whose tomb the' Spanish walls
and island shores enclose.
