Last Saturday | was distributing my tracts
for the month, and came upon one of the mos
wretched cases Of poverty ] have ever known.
In the third story of a house, ] found a wo~
man without a spark of fire or a morsel Of
bread. On the hearth were a few dried weeds
for fuel, and these she was probably keeping
for an hour Of absolute necessity.

Bed there was none. IL will show you,"
said she, where we sleep'-for she was
married. She opened a little side door, and
there upon the bare floor was spread a piece
of rag carpet about three or four feet square,
and on this lay a mere RAJ of cotton cloth
at one end of the piece of carpet, which was
hardly as good as you would give a dog to
lie on, were a few more rags, which served
as a pillow.
And here these people lived, or rather stay
ed, for you could hardly call it living.
And yet this woman told me that her father
was an English Bishop, and she now had a
brother a minister in Philadelphia. But she
would not let him know her condition. Whyl

him quite an intelligent and gentlemanly man.

As evening approached, a slow and sad

the good clergyman performed his duty, and
went to The grave. 1t was in the enclosure

reverent silence by the grave. The river

The various climes Of earth,
And mourn-poor sagelings Of a day

and while the one will tend TO the increase
Of order. comfort and security in the city, the
other will awaken the dormant onerples of
the inhabitants Of the country-affording
them means Of easy transport for their agri-
cultural produce, bringing markets within
reach OF supplies, and quickening all the
commercial energies Of the various cities,
hitherto 50 drpiorably siagnant. by opening
lines of rapid communication between the
inland territory and the coast, from Civia
Vecchia TO Ancona. On the occasion of the
Pope's act Of amnesty, his council consisted
of six cardinals, of whom one only was In
favor Of II. Fortunately the pope's preroga-
tive could, and did, dispense with their con-
currence. His mode Of receiving the popu-
lar enthusiasm on the occasion of that great
act Of wisdom and mercy was eminently
characteristic; he said that the political Of
tenders had In no way sinned against him (;
that their attempts were directed against the
government Of Gregory AVI., who might in-
deed have deserved praise and thanks for
pardOuing them, whereas he could claim none
for forgiving people who had done nothing
against him. This modest and magnani-
nous disclaimer on his part, did not, as may
well be imagined, check the enthusiasm ofihe
people. On the occasion of his first driving
out, they took the horses from his carriage,
and drew him home to the Quirinal-a de-
monstra;ion against the repetition Of which
he, however, entered his most solemn and
positive protest. Anagrams Of his name are
ingeniously made TO discover in it the titles
Of liberator and father, and the very colors
on his coat Of arms-the tricolor-are held
significant Of his political tendencies. Acu-
rious anecdote was told me the other day, En-
hibi,ing the impatient temper Of the times
and people, as, indeed, every thing else album
dainty does, the enormous difficulty of the
present Pope's position, between the excited
and exaggerated expectation of impossible
changes entertained by his people, and the
narrow and shallow scope of his power and
possibilities. His arms contain two lions,
and an anonymous letter was forwarded to
him lately, in which his shield was painted
with two tortoises substituted in their stead,
a suggestion that he did not proceed rapidly
enough with the expected reforms Of govern
ment. The Pope, it is said, smiling at this
illustration, and showing it to somebody, OBJ
served, that the tortoise, though very slow,
was very sure in its progress"

public expectation by hanging himself the

A Mothers Memories.
BY FANNY KEMBLE BUTLER.

The blossoms hang again upon the tree,
As when with their sweet breath they greeted
me
Against my easement, on that sunny morn,
When thou, frs, blossom of my spring, was
born;
And as ! lay, painting from the fierce strife
With death and agony that won thy life,
Their snowy clusters hung on their brown
Dough,
Fen as upon my breast, my May-bud, thou.
They seem to me my sisters, on, my child!
And now the air, full Of their fragrance mild,
Recalls that hour, a ten-fold agony
Pulls at my heart-strings, as ! think Of thee.
Was it in vain! Oh, was it all in vain!
That night Of hope, OF terror and of paiu,
When from the shadowy boundaries of death,
brought thee safely, breathing living breath.
Upon my heart-it was a holy shrine,
Full Of Gods praise-they laid thee, treasure
mine
And from its tender depths tho blue heaven
smiled,
And the white blossoms bowed TO ,hee, my
child,
And solemn Joy Of a new life was spread,
Like a mysterious halo, round that bed.
And now how is it, since eleven years
Have stepped that memory in bitterest tears!
Alone, heart-broken, on a distant shore,
Thy childless mother sits lamenting DER
Flowers, which the spring calls from this
sotsign earth,
Thy twins, that crowned the morning Of thy
birth,
How is it with Acknowledgements
one!
In thy fresh spring-time growing mp alone7
What warmth unfolds hee7-what sweet
dews are shed,
Like love and patience over thy young head!
What holy springs feed thy deep inner life
What shelters thee from passions deadly
strict
What guards thy growth, straight, strong,
and full and free,
lovely and glorious, oh, my fair young treel
northumberland by this awful
fate
Hast lopp'd, and s%tripp'd, and left me desc
late
In the dark bitter foods that DER my soul,
Their pillows Of despair triumphant roll,
Let me not be o'erwhelmed

When grasping tyranny offends,
Or angry bigots lrown;
When rulers plot for selfish ends
To keep the people down;
When statesmen form unholy league
To drive the world to war;
When knaves in palaces intrie ne
FoU ribbons or a star;
We raise our heads, survey their deeds,
And cheerily reply
Grub, little moLes, grub under ground;
There's sunshine in The sky.
When canting hypocrites combine
To curb a free Raan's thought,
And hold all doctrine undivine
That holds their canting nought;
When round their narrow pale they plod,
And scornfully assume
That all without are cursed Of God,
And justify the doom;
We think Of Heavens eternal love,
And strong in hope reply
Grub, fHk moLes, grub under ground;
There's sunshins in tie sky.

The Tiller of the Soil.
By DAVID L. RoATH.

A hardy sun-burnt man is he,
A hardy sun-burnt man;
No sturdier man you'll ever see,
Though all the world you scan.
In summers heat, in winters cold,
You'll find him at his toll
Oh. far above the knights of old,
Is the Tiller of the Soil.
No weighty bars seeurs his door,
No ditch is dug around
His walls no cannon brislle DER,
No dead lie on the ground.
A peaceful laborer is he,
Unknown in earth's turmoil
From many crushing sorrows free,
Is the Tiller of the Soil
His stacks are seen on every side,
His barns are filled with grain;
Though others hail not Fortunes tide,
lie labors not in vain.
The land gives up its rich increase,
The sweet reward of toll;
And blest with happiness and peace,
Is the Tiller Of the Soil!
he trudges out at break OF day,
And takes his way along;
And as he turns the yielding clay,
He sings a joyful song.
He is no dull, unhappy wight,
Bound in misfortune's coil;
The smile is bright, the heart is light,
OF the Tiller Of the Soil!
And when the orb of day has crown'd
With gold the Western sky,
Before his dwelling he is fouad,
With cheerful faces by
With little laughing duplicates,
Caresses will not spoil,
Oh, JOY at every side awaits
The Tiller OF the Soil.
A hardy, sun-burnt man is he,
A hardy, s%un-burnt man;
But who can boast a hand SO Free.
As he the Tiller, cant
Nor summers's heat, nor winters cold,
The pow'r has him to foil
Oh, far above the knights of old,
Is the Tiller of the Soil.
