Russian Empire.--The Russian empire in En-
rope has been nearly doubled in little more than
halt century. In sixty-four years she has adj
vanced her frontier eight hundred and fifty miles
towards Vienna, Berlin, Dresden, Munich. and
Paris; she has approached four hundred and fiftv
miles nearer to Constantinople; she has possessed
herself Of The capital of Poland; and has advanced
to within few miles Of the capital Of Sweden.
from which, when Peter the First mounted the
throne, her frontier was distant three hundred
miles Since that time she has stretched herself
forward about one thousand miles towards India.
and the same distance towards the capital Of Per-
sla. Inc regiment that is now stationed at her
farhest frontier post, on the western shore of the
Caspian, has as great distance 10 march back
TO Moscow as onward 10 Attock on the Indus.
and is actually further from ST. Petersburg, than
from Lahore, the capital OF the Seiks. The bat

ded Persia, found at the termination of the war.
that they were as near to Herat as 10 the banks
of the Don; that they had already accomplished
half the distance from their capital to Delhi: and

had as great a distance to march back to ST. Pc

Hebrew maiden, veil thy beauty,
Lest my heart rebel prove,
Breaking bands Of holy duty,
For the silken chains of love;
Look not on me. sweet dcceiver,
Though thy young eyes beam with light,
They might tempt true believer
To the darkest shades of night.
Hebrew maiden, while linger.
Hanging Ger thy melting Lutte.
Every chord beneath thy finger
Wakes pulse that should be mute;
We must part, aud part for ever
Eyes that could my life renew!

NIAGARA.

Flow on for ever. ia thy glorious robe
OF terror and Of beauty; God hath set
His rainbow on thy forehead, ard the cloud
Mantled around thy fret.--And he doth give
Thy voice of thunder power to speak OF him
Eternally--bijdi:g the lip Of man
Keep silence, and upon tiny rocky altar pour
Incense Of awe struck praise.
And who can dare
To lift the insect trump Of earthly hope.
Or love, or sorrow, mid the peal sublime
OF thy tremendous hymn EVEN ocean shrinks
Back from thy brotherhood, and his wild waves
Retire abashed for he doth sometimes seem
To sleep like spent laborer, and recall
His weared pillows from their vexing play,
And lul them to a cradle calm; but thou,
With everlasting, undecaying tide,
Dost rest not night or day.
The morning stars,
When first they sang DER young creations birth,
Heard thy deep anthem and those wrecklng fires
That wait the archangel's signal to dissolve
The solid earth, shall find Jehoyal's name
Craven, as with thousand diamond spears,
On thine unfathomed page Each leafy bongh
That lifts itself within thy proud domain,
Doth gather greenness from thy living spray,
And tresnble at the baptism. Lo! yon birds
Do venture boldly near, bathing their wing
Amid the foam and mist!-'Tis meet for them
To touch thy garments hem-or lightly stir
The snowy leaflets Of thy vapor wreath
Who sport unframed upon the feecy cloud,
And listen at the echong gate of Heaven
Without reproof. But as for us--it seems
Scarce lawful with our broken tones to speak
Familiarly OF thee. Methinks, TO tint
Thy glorious features with our pencils point,
Were PROCLAMATION.
Thou iost make the soul

THE HEBREW MAIDEN.s ANSWER

Christian soldier, must we sever.
Does thy creed our fates divide!
Must we part, 10 part for ever.
Shall another be thy bride!
Spirits Of my fathers sleeping!
Ye who once in Zion trod,
Heavens mysterious councils Keeping
Tell me OF the Christians God!
Is The Cross os Christ The token
Of sasirg faith to man!
Can my early vows be broken?
Spirits answer me They can.
Mercy--mercy shone about him
All the blessed with him trod;
No, we can't be saved without him
Christian, believe thy God

The wing papers in this country arc
applying this term to the ChartiSts in
England, by way of reproach. 1t is
not strange that the would-be nobility
Of this country, should think and speak
of them, as they do of the democracy
here.
Modern Whlggery is not satisfied
with its unceasing efforts to put down
republicanism in this country, but its
zeal calls ii to the aid of the English
Monarchists. The ChaTtists are the

/ Extract Of letter to the Editor, dated
STANARnsvILLE, Va, May 3Oth 1889.
"a word or two in relation to our
patriotic Governor, A. G. McNutt,
who has won for himself, by his decided
stand against the issuing Of post notes,
an enviable reputation which will live
fresh in the recollection offuture gen.
erations, when his opponents and ira
.ducers shall have been forgotten and
appear as things that have not been.
To be shaved in Louisville upon Missfs-
sippi Union Bank notes, payable the
first of August next. twelve per cent,
and to be asked twenty-five per cent.
upon those redccmable twelve months
hence, is certainly ruinous to The purse
and must be mortifyingto the pride OF
every Mississippian who is compelled
to submit to this most painful opera
ton. The writer asked why they sha-
we'd SO deeply, adding that money could
moth worth SO large an interest.
The reply was, that no confidence
could exist in the continued ability OF
banks TO meet their liabilities prompt
ly, which stepped SO fan out Of the le-
climate and ordinary course of bank
ing as those OF Mississippi had done in
dealing in cotton and issuing post notes
so freely and frequently.

Athens, long after the decline OF

paired schools, which barbarlty was
suffering to fall into decay, and contln-
ued those pensions to men o. learnlng'
which ayaricious governors had monop-

In this city, and about this period
Alexander and Scptimius were fellow
students together; the one, the most
subtle reasoner of all the Lyccum; the
other, the most eloquent speaker IN the
academic grove. Mutual admiration
soon begor friendship. Their for
tunes were nearly equah and they were
ratiyes Of the two most celebrated cities
in the world; for Alexander was Of
Athens Septimius came from Rome.
In this state Of harmony they lived
for some time together. when AL

Maketo thyself name,
Not with the breath Of clay,
Which, like the broken hollow read,
Doth hide itself away;
Not with the fame that vaunts
The tyrant ON his throne,
And hurls its stlma on the soul
That God vouchsafes to own.
Make to myself name,
Not such as wealth can weave,
Whose warp is but thread Of gold
That dazzles to deceive;
Not with the tints of love
From out its letters fair;
That scroll within thy hand shall fade,
Like him that placed it there.
Make to myself name,
Not in the sculptured aisle;
The marble oft betrays its trust,
Like Egypt's lofty pile;
But ask Of him who quelld
OF death the victor strife,
To write it on the blood,bought page

When all we love most tendcrly
Fades from our eyes so fast. M

That never pours her light
Into the bosom but to leave
