HIRAM POWERS, THE GREAT
AMERICAN ARTIST.

The arrival and exhibition here OF this,

Slave, reminds me Of an obligation had
long since imposed upon myself, aud when
is to great extent uniulfilled, that OF sketch.
ing so much Of the early career OF some oil
our Cincinnati artists, as might form valua-
BILE materials for biography at n later period
in their history, when facts now access ible
would be forever lost.
Powers was born in Woodstock, Vermont,
in April 1906. His father who was a farm
err, left the sterile rocks of New England, as
thousands of his countrymen have done, IN
search of soil in the far and fertile West,
which would repay more generously the ar
duous labors required for tilling IL Hiram
being mere child at the time. The family
settled in Millcreek township, Hamilton
county, adjacent to our city. Powers bro
theirs aud sisters yet reside either here or ~
the vicinity. The early history Of Hiram
Powers is the long knOwn and oft-recorded
tale of neglected and underyalued genius.
SLOW rises worth, by poverty depressed"
One of his first empIoyments outside of
the family circle was ia the clock factory OF
Luman Watson. who noticed young Powers
at the time but ~ years of age, as youth
of extraordinary mechanical ingenuity, aud
in that respect likely to become iavorably
known to thu community IN after years. AT
that early age, he had substituted 10 adyan-
tage, tools of his own invention for those
in use about the factory. An ingenious
Continuance for cutting cog-wheels for clocks
Which reduced the existing labor TO its hun
dredth part, was the product OF hIs early
mechanical improvement.
~ the garnet Of this factory was Powers
bed-chamber, the walls Of which soon ex-
hibited various sketches and designs from
his crayon, as did the rude shelves with
which he had lined it, his early immature
specimens in plastic art in the shape OF
rrodeIs OF stamary and busts. He obtained
some instruction from Individuals who were
modelers professionally. These, as may
lie inferred from the state Of the arts here
in 1926, the period alluded to, were OF llI-
lie benefit In fact, IN this branch OF the
ant a. 10 all bis professional labors, be has
owed every thing 10 that suggestive and Gre
alive faculty, which has always been
prominent characteristic Of his genius.

That like blossomAjust unfolding,
She opened to life cloudless air,
And nature joy'd 10 view its moulding;
Her smile, it haunts my memory yet
Her cheeks fine hue dvinely glowing
Her rosebud mouth---her eyes Of jet
Around on all her light bes,owing
Oh! who could look on such form,
So nobly free, so softly tender,
And darkly dream that earthly storm
Should dim such sweet delicious splendor'
For in her mien, and in her face,
And in her young steps fairy lightness,
Nought could the raptured gazer trace
But beauty's glow, and pleasures brightness
saw her twce-an altered charm
But still of magic richest, rarest,
Than grlhood's talisman less warm,
Though yet of earthly sights the iairest;
Upon her hreast she helda child,
The very image of its mother;
Which ever to her smiling smiled,
They seemed to live but in one another;
But matron cares, or lurking woe,
Her thoughtess, sinless look had bauished,
And from her cheek the roseatc glow
OF girlhood's balmy morn had VANISHED;
Within her eyes, upon her brow,
Lay something softer, fonder, deeper,

In widows garments bad arrayed her;
Yet beautiful she seemed TO be,
As even my reveries portrayed her;
The glow the glance had passed away,
The sunshine and the sparkling glitter;
Still, though | noted pale decay,
The retrospect was scarcely bitter;
For in their place calmness dwelt,
Serene, subduing, soothing, holy;
In feeling which, the bosom felt
That every louder mirth is folly
A pensiveness-which is not grief,
A stlness-as of sunset streaming
fairy glow on flower and leaf,
Till earth looks like a landscape dreaming.

Beyond lfe's dim, uncertain river,
glorious mould of fading clay,
From whence the spark had fled forever.
Igazed-my breast was like to burst
As thought of years departed,
The years wherein saw her first,
When she girl was lightsome hearted;
And when ! unused on latter days,
As moved she in her matron duty,

OF ripening hope, and sunny beauty

ORooaIAH, PERSIA, Aug. 8, 1S4S.
A few evenings ago knock at the door OF
our mission premises was soon followed by
the quick step of native, who came To DIR.
Wright with the statement that there stood
in the street woman who knew no Ian
guage, and was entirely unattended, except
by n Koordish muleteer A moment after

tional statement, " the lady is dressed M
English clothes, and says, in your language,
will YOU give me little water'"

cited NJ the announcement OF a lady ~ Eb-

FEMALE GAMBLING.-ln Paris, women
not only play high, at fashionable games
of chance, and buy tickets N lotteries, but
they go on change and operate in stock
with great enthusiasm. Attic fashionable
watering places in Germany, ladies indulge
in gambling to almost as great an extent as
the men. In England it was, formerly the
fashion of ladies TO play high, in the first
circle of society, and female gamester was
by no means an extraordinary character. In
Mexico, where gambling is universal pas
sion where priests come out of The church and
sit down to play of a Suday afternoon, la
dies are dealers at monte and have their full
share of the national propensity. In New
York, female gambling in lottery tickets
and policies is a very common practice, and
there is no lack of ladies who are to take a
hand at Uihgt-et-un, poker, bluff, brag. loo,
or eucher playing for such stakes a. suit
their finances. Women are as adventurous
as men, and quite as ready to trust their
luck-and they are especially venturesone
in taking chances in the lottery marriage.
