At last, if he has not fallen victim to of the enemies wth which his life has been a constant struggle, he has home, the fruit of uneeasing toil and unceasing anxiety; but thai home is not his own. and will not be- unless some pre-cmptiou right of law permits him 10 purchase

Mrs. HemGHs.-An essay iu q late number of Blackwood, on Mrs. Heinans contains some inter- csting particulars of her private history The fol- lowing is an extract:
 Not long after the frs, publication of her poems the next great event of her lie took pace-her iu- trodGction to Capt. Hemans. The young poetess then only fifteen, in uil glow of that radiant heanty which was destined te fsdc go early. The manliing bloom of her checks was shaded by pro- fusion oi natural rngets. of a rich golden brown and ths eveF-vaping expression G her bri!iisat eyes gave changefM play to her cG nienalee. which weatd nave mace il impossible for any painter to do justice to it. No wonder thai so fair creature should excite the admiration of gallant captain. nd the love on both sides was ardent and sincere; for Capt. llemans, after their introduction was called upon to embark with his regiment for Spain. On his return in lsi2, they were married. Of their domestic happiness unhappincss nothing Is said; but six years alter, in ISIS, we simply told that the captain went to Rome-aad never returned. The separated pair never met again.
 To dwell on this subject, says her biographer, would be unnecessarily painful vet it must bc stated that nothing like permanent separation was contemplated at the time, did It ever amount to more than tacit conve niiona arrangement. which ofsere no obstacles to the frequent iutsrcangs of correspondence nor 10 constant reference to their father in all things relating to the disposal of her boys. But years rolled on--seventeen years of absence, and conseq ueutly alienation. and from this time to the hour of her death Mrs He,nans and her husband never met again.
