may be corrected, and thus to discipline and
strengthen his own mind

Grafton: that it was not tempter, but re-
storer; that all conquest was not selfish, and
all protestation not meant to deceive. II
Napoleon had given Poland diadem, and
placed it on the brow Of Kosciusko, he
would, in that act, have placed on his own
brow diadem which no chance OF the field
could have plucked away; an impershabe
and dazzling answer to all the calumnies of
his age, and all the doubts Of posterlty. He
might even have built, in the restoration
Of the falling kingdom, citadel for his
own security in all the casualties Of empire:
but, in all events, be would have fixed in the
political heaven a star which; 10 the last re.
collection Of mankind, would have thrown
light on his sepulchre and borne his name.

When parting rends the tender ties
That round congenal hearts entwine;
When shall roam meath other skies,
Afar from friendships home and shrine;
When other hearts and other hands
Are interchanged in love with thine,
And some loved nance a tear demands,
Will any tears be shed for mine?
When lovers hover round thy form,
And pour their vows and oaths sincere,
And haply, too, deceivers swarm
And seek to please thy aattered ear
Shall then thy generous, feeling heart,
Thy friend to dark despair consign?
Shall others then their love impalt,
To Danish from thy bosom mine!
Will faithful memory e'er impart,
A shadow Of our former days,
When cheerfulness shall light thy heart
Adown the balls gay, airy maze!
And will upon that lovely face
A tear for distant friendship shine!
Will fancy magic pencil trace
Those hours that saw thy feelings mine?
Perchance the electric flash Of thought
Will dart across the indifferent mind,
Which once, with friendships feeling (raught
Was in remembrance true and kind;
Or will, perhaps, by absence taught,
The momentary pang resign,
And scarce an image then be brought
OF me, TO tell what love was mine?
Wilt thou so soon that heart resign
Which is with love unfading fired
Which clings to memory's sacred shrine
Till all its vestal fires expired?
If ever friendships star shall CLEAN
And brighter, clearer, lovelier shine,
Within thy bosom let it beam
Its rays ere centered here in mine.

K. JONES,


We have seen another letter from New
York, which concurs with the one that was
addressed to ourselves, and published in the
"Union'' on Friday evening. This second
letter also speaks with some specification,
which It is not proper for US to PUBLISH of 4
scheme now projected to make California
independent Of Maxico. Il says that "Amer-
leans and other foreigners are connected
with the movement. Its positively assert
ed that England and France are to recognise
and aid in completing this design, upon The
express condition that no connection or
union is TO be formed with the United
States"
The information is said to come from
gentleman Of high standing and character.
Nor do we doubt the respectabiIity Of the
source; though we cannot vouch for the &C.
curacy Of the information.
The "Boston Advertiser gives the fol-
loving as ian extract from a letter from
the Peninsula Of California, dated
''San Francisco, June 20.
This country is in lamentabIe state Of
confusion, and entirely without law. 1900
Mexican troops are expected, under the
command OF an officer VINO was educated
