The EPISCOPAL Observation-Disclosures FIRE
BRAND-Not content with having the diocese of
New York divided on the question of paying
Bishop Onderdonk his regular salary, we perceive
that the factionists have thrown in another fire.
brand in the shape of abolition. Not satisfied
with the unfortunate results that followed the agi-
taton of this subject in the Methodist and Bap-
list churches, by which both have become disu-
sted and disjointed, these agitators wish to de-
stroy the usefulness of the Episcopal church, too,
by cutting it up into fragments, composed of fran
tic abolitionists, and their opponents. Well, be
1t so-let them do their utmost. We trust, how
ever, there is common sense sufficient in the con-
vention to put down these destructves We shall
see, however. The report will be found in ano-

Gazette has received intelligence from various of
the West India Islands. In Jamaica and Antigua
the weather was propitous, and sangune hopes
were entertained of good crops. In Barbados,
the harvest was plentiful, and the healthy.
In the island OF Martinique, affairs are a good
deal unhinged, by the innovations recently intro
duced in the slave laws; and the planters are said
TO be sadly harrassed under the new order of
things. The governor had convened an extraor-
binary session of council, for the adoption of mea-
sures to carry out the obj ects OF the new laws
passed by the parent government. A horrible
murder had been perpetrated in Trinidad, for the
sake OF plumber. young man, owner of a store,
was killed, as it is supposed, by young Span
lard, his servant, who has since been traced to
Vera Cruz.

Shadows.

LIFE wha, art thou but shadow,
Fleeing as the Autumn wind
As thou cam'st, so thou depariest,
Leaving Hope and Love behind.
Like stream whose placid current
Mirrors in lis tranquil flow,
Tree and shrub and iuneful fountain
In thy brighter hours art thou.
But when angry s,orm-clouds hover
Ger thy late unrufi1ed breast---
So thy pleasures, dimmed by sorrows,
Only for season last
Yet though darkness pals The Future,
And the Present gloomy be,
There s haven of rest unending
Far beyond Life's troubled sea

dian millionaire brought with him to Eng
land as presents. Rich as are most of the
individuals present, so immensely wealthy
is Dwarkanauth, that he could almost buy
them up, if they were put into one lot for
sale. His son, bright eyed and intelligent,
sits near him, quite the pet of bevy of
beauties.
Do you see that lady in a side box, who
is dressed, perhaps, in palmer style than
any one in the house Her face wears a
very sweet expression, and seems so fami-
liar that, Immediately on glancing at it, we
Involuntary ask ourselves where we could
have seen it before. What a noble fore
head she has-how much expression is
there in that fnely-curved lip. 1t is the
Dowager Countess of Essex-her lord, the
late Earl, having, year or two since, paid
the debt Of Nature. The Countess of Es-
sex's history is in itself romance Of real
life. An old friend of mine tells me that
he remembers seeing her dirty, shoeless
and stockingless girl, nursing a child at the
door of house in one of the obscurest
lanes of Bristol. She was, in fact, drab-
bish maid of all work. But even then she
was distinguished by her sweet voice; and
one day, as she was singing to the child
she tended in the dingy alley, gentleman,
who casually passed by, was struck by the
rich melody of her tones, and took it into
his head to remove her from her obscure
situation, educate her, and have her taught
the rudiments of the vocal art
The pupil we'll rewarded the benevolent
exertions; for, ere many years
had passed away, the name of Miss Ste
Phens was known all over the musical
world. The Kitty Stephens of the dirty
alley in Bristol, soon became the fascinat-
ing songstress of the metropolis, and stood,
without rival. Her charac-
ter was excellent-and amidst thousand
temptations, she preserved her purity of
mind and manners. The Earl of Essex, on
the death of his first wife, a dissipated.
heartless votary of Fashion, sought her
hand; and coronet sparkled on the brow
of Kitty Stephens. Into her new station,
if she did not take to it connexions which
its influence, she carried virtues
which adorned her position. The most
rigid investigations, and the most envious
attempts to defame her, could not find
speck on her character. Not long ago she
became, by the death of Lord Essex, dow
ager. Now, as one of the nobility of Great
Britain, she sits, thinking little, it may be,
of the time when she sang to the child, as,
bonnetless and shoeless, she paced the city

WHERE WOULD | BE?

FROM THE GERMAN OF B. WOLFE.
Where would be-
There. where the rosy wine pearls to the brim;
There, where due honors crown the poets hymn;
There, where the foamng Rhine bounds to the sea!
There would be.
Where would be,
There, where success attends the good and brave;
There, where the gallant ski light rides the wave;
Even where on rugged rocks the brave live free
There would be-
Where would be?
Where slaves themselves pluck off the bond of shame
And leap and bound in many manly game;
Where Freedoms eagle breasts her glorious way
Through the wide ether in the blaze of day,
With godlike might where slaves themselves set free
There would be.
Where would be?
Where, for lifetime, two fast friends have gone,
Through veal and wo, and lived and loved in one;
Brave, and devoted in firm unity
There would be.
Where would be?
Where the one darling of my heart should rest,
Her gentle bosom to my bosom prest,
And her gaze ever with undyng bliss
Within my eyes: breathe one immortal kiss
Throughout thy length and breadth, eternity
There would be-
