With this heroic resolution he replaced his
treasure f; and folding his arms, he stood at the
window whistling one of the plaintive little airs
of his country. Group on group ofchimneys, of
all shapes and sizes, formed the most prominent
feature in the landscape before him; and houses,
with flat roofs and steep roofs strange heteroge-
neous mass of buildings, through Which the eye
in vain wandered for some pleasing object on
which to rest. Among them, however, our art
lists imagination went to work lofy domes
and stately palaces arose at the waving of the
magic wand of his fancy-forms of beauty and
loneliness, wandering amid gardens of luxury
and delight, while angel messengers bore peace
and happiness TO their solitude. From these Wis
ions of bliss he turned to the destruction of
worlds and empires, and the awful depths d the
internal regions-thc gigantic pillows ove1ang
ing the shuddering group of devoted witches
collected on rock during the great deluBe, or
the confiagraton of majestic cities, doonfd by
the will of Heaven to destruction.
Again his dreams were painfully interrupted
| by the pangs of hunger; he thought thai sleep
might lull him into insensbility to then, and
stretched himself on his bed. But sleep came
not; and, after tossing about for some tine, he
started up and sought through several streets, the
shop Of a baker One he at last espied, aid has
| tily entered. The shop-keeper cast suspicious
eye upon his customer, for his clothes wen not
so new they had been; and were, beside,
covered with divers spots and patches of paint,
which did not, by any means, add to the gehtility
of his appearance Our artist demanded loaf,
in payment whereof he laid down his last bright
coin. The baker took it, scrutinized it, turned
it over and over, then dashed it violently against
the board, and declared it a counterfeit
GA counterfeit" exclaimed the painter, dis
mally. Butfearing that his tone and look might
betray his circumstances, he added carelessy at
the same time laying down the coveted loaf,
well, it is no consequence, don't happen to
have another with me now good night, SIR
Affecting an independent swagger, he left the
shop, and fastened down the street; but, had
he looked back, he would have seen the sharp
face of the baker peering after him, as he NUT
tered to himself, " You don't happen 10 have any
more with you, sir, now Ay, ay, you're a
pretty scamp, ! warrant you, and | shall look
twice at your money, fever you come into my
shop again"
Martin Werner fastened home. Till that hour
he had not known absolute want, and even his
buoyant spirits threatened to desert him at the APP
proach ofgrim penury. Once more he ransacked
his chest, for in one corner he remembered to
have seen a crust. He found it, it was mouldy
and covered with dust, but he shook that off and
ate it with keen relish, then got into bed, and
slept more soundly than he who had supped up
on all the delicacies that wealth could procure.
The morning sun was shining brightly upon
him through the window, when he awoke. He
leaped from his bed, exclamng, as he hastily
dressed himself, "1he crisis of my adversely is
past The sun shines galy on my morning
work; I will take it for an omcn-a prognostie
of brighter days to come p
Under these favorable auspices he finished his
picture; and we need not tell how rapidly he
rose to fame.
The Queen and The Prince. The London cor
respondent of the Trenton Emporium gives the
following sketch of the personal appearance OF
Queen Victoria and her husband:
''She was twenty two last May, but she does
not appear so old. She is little, delicate, fair
faced girl, with very light blue eyes and glossy
light hair, smoothly dressed off her forehead; her
teeth do not show as in her portraits, though |
suppose they do little when her face is at rest.
I should call her rather pretty there IS a decided
expression of gentle, innocent, girlsh sweetness
in her countenance Just such face as one who
! looks on it may we'll remember for day, and
pray that it may never be clouded with the cares
and splendid misery of station such as hers.
Prince Albert is decidedly handsome young
man, and though he wears the abominable musta-
chios which almost brutalize the faces of three
fourths of the fashionable here he appears TO be
a modest, unassumng, quiet, family kind Of a
parsonage lie keeps himself entirely clear OF
the politics OF the day, and is never spoken of by
any one except as the Qeen's husband.
| The Instruction. There appear to be little OF
no foundation for the story of "an instruction
among all the negroes in Louisiana and Mssis-
sippi." A letter is published in the N. Orleans
Picay une, dated Bayou Sara, July 26, which
says:
GAS was agreed upon last Wednesday, the
court met to-day for the purpose of trying the
prisoners. On examining the principal witness
he acknowledged he was frightened by whipping
