flame OF the undying lamps which burn
on the altar of Liberty. The marble steps

solemn and his voice full of awe, as thrill

the marble platform around which tie
multtudes are gathered, and stands in
simple dignity above them in the zenith
OF his power, stiffness, deep as midnight
spreads its wide wings over the welcom-

and from it pours a food of eloquence,
full of passion, of beauty, and of feeling,

power of widest music. The master
chord of patriotism is struck in every
breast, and its tones rise in loud and tri-
umphant shouts into the echoing air.

CURIOUS LOVE AFFAIR.

The following Giro instance hasppened
a lew miles west of Midsome Norton,
several months GA oun man and
woman, quit strangers TO each other,
were accldently placed by the sexton of
4 parish church in the same pew. During
The course Of The sermon, the young man
read love in the eyes of the lady, which
made greater impression on his mind
han did the lecture Of the pious minis
Ter. As love, although blind, is never at
a loss for expedients, he presented the
maiden, whose character had so attracted
him, with str lip OF paper, bearing The
following portion of Scripture, taken
from e second Epislle of ST. John, 5th

from the beginning, tina! we love one an
olher;" after reading which, she selected
another port II and returned it TO him,
from the LIST chapter of Ruth, the l6llr
verse-"Eulreat me not to leave thee or
to return from following after thee: for
w'ither thou goest | will 90, and where
thou lodgest will lodge; thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my
God" From that time they became ac-
quainled with each other, and iii less than
ten months after they were married

The Secretary of .Sia'e-A =

The Secretary of Sia'e.-A rumor is
in active circulation that there is shortly
to be another modification of The Cabinet;
and that Mr. Webster is to retire from the
post of Secretary of State. This rumor,
we have reason to believe, is entirely un-
founded. 1t was started by gossi pping
letter from Washington, published in one
Of our morning popers-which letter, we
have reason to believe, would not have
been published had the editor seen it be-
fore it went 10 p ess.--Since that publ
cation graver aspect has been given TO
the rumor by the comments of the press
in various quarters. But we rcpea, our
entire conviction that it is wholly and in
all respects unwarranted by anything that
has taken place, or that is likely to take
place, betw etn the Secretary Of State and
the President On the contrary, we have
reason TO bel eve tina; the utmost conf
lence and cordially, both in their per-
son,l and official relations exist between
tlram.--We can certify of our own knowl-
edge that when Mr.. Webster passed
through this city, on his visit to Massa-
chusetts, where he has heen ever since, he
had no purpose Of leaving the Cabinet.
and we have since that seen other and
stronger evidence Of the confidence re-
posed by the President in Mr.. Webster,
from the highest possible source.

Tier lovely rays, like golden bars,

With shadows brown between.

Upon the meadows low.

She woke End mion with kiss,
Nhon, sleeping i'll the grove,

Like dams kiss, unask'd, unsought,
Love gives itself, but is not bought

No one is SO accurs'd by fate,

Ana whispers, in It's song,

Your account of ice seen by Capt. Hos
ken, of the Great Western, with the accom-
panying chart, induces me to send an account
OF the loss>of the ship Jupiter, Capt. Law,
OF Newly ork, in the ice, IN the year 1905.
The circumstance of my having been pas
senger in the Jupiter, at that time, enables
me to corroborate Capt. Hosken's statement
| of the extent of field ice sometimes seen in
the Atlantic Ocean. One body seen by US
had no opening, and another seen by the
captain who rescued the individuals who
were saved in our yawl, was thirty miles in
length; formed like the land, with hills and
valleys. Many of the islands were from
| 70 to 100 feet above the water, and as Capt.
| Parry ascertained thai fve-sixths of the ice
was below the surface, it follows of course,
| that icebergs from 500 to 600 feet high are
met with. The ice is all of fresh water,
and the edges nearly as sharp as steel.
Having arrived in the President, on her
last uogage, and feeling deep interest Ia
all that relates to her, and her excellent
commander, officers and crew, allow me to
say, that previous to embarking in her; the
advice of one of the most intelligent ship
masters in Liverpool, who was intimately
acquainted with her, was, that "she was
equal or superior to any ship that had ever
left their docks, IN all respects" The Wig
lance of Capt. Roberts could not be sur
passed. He a1as informed of the loss o.
the Jupiter in the ice, and had tr0o men
constantly on the look out for that, ana
ressels, on his outward voyage. He had
four good boats capable of containing all hi:
passengers and crew, but there was no lift
boat on board, for which the o10ners are
blameable, not the captain. God grant tina
we may yet hear of the safety of this noble
ship, and the still more valuable lives or
board of her.
