Astonshed at the sound of human voice
she turned and recognized in the stranger the
sentinel who had impeded her progress with
out the city walls. Refusing the generous OF:
fer, she permitted him to aid her in her errand
of mercy and love.
Long and tedious was the search. but una

city, having failed to find the remains of the
good old minister.
Katharine religiously kept her word. and

Bereft of her preserver and benefactor,

Use of long life, there were no ties to bind her
TO earth, and she longed to Join her pious and
devoted guardian. A prisoner, she was treat
ed with marked courtesy and respecr by the
general-in-chief, who ordered her well furnish
ed apartments and every attention to her COM
fort and pleasure. She also received many
kindnesses from the youthful Cossack, who at
length became enamored with her charms. and
proved the strength of his attachment by procu-
ring her release from confinement, upon parole
of honor, and personal security for her safety
His assiduous attention to her wants, and ear
nest efforts in her behalf were not without their
reward, for she soon came TO regard him as her
only hope, her refuge and lord of her affec-
tions
The general and the young officer, who ap-
peared from his dress to be a simple lieutenant,
were the occupants of the tent, and Katharine
was employed in experimenting their domestic
affairs.
One day as she was engaged in serving their
customary meal, the conversation turned upon
the merits of their fair maid, and the young Off
Ger addressing the former in tones laudatory of
her courage and beauty, concluded with the in

Execution Of Hungarian Gencr-

The following account of the execution of
thirteen Hungarian Generals and Staff officers,
by the Austrian General, Haynau on the 9th
of October, is taken from the history of the late
war -
-Four of these heroic men met their end at
daybreak, the communication of their sentence TO
powder and lead exempting them from the an
guish of witnessing the death of their compan-
ions-in-arms. Amongst the rest was Ernest
Kiss. His brother had become insane after
Goagey's treachery; his cousin had fallen,
second Leonidas, in the defence of the Rothen-
thurm-Pass; he himself, the richest landed pro-
prletor In the Banat, whose hospitable castle
was all the year round filled with Austrian cav
alters and officers, was on the 9th of October,
sentenced TO death by the Austrian court-mar-
tial, on which sat many of the partakers of his
hospitalities. His friends at Vienna had inter-
ceded to save his life, but in vain He died a
painful death; the Austrian soldiers who were
ordered to carry the sentence into effect, and
who for whole year faced the fire of the Hun
garian artillery, trembed before their defence
less victim three separate volleys were fired
before Kiss fell-his death struggles lasted full
ten minutes.
The report of the firing was heard in the
castle, where those officers sentenced to be hung
were preparing for death. Poltenberg had
been in profound sleep, and startled, as he
told the Austrian officer, by the first volley he
had jumped out of bed. The unhappy man had
been dreaming that he was in the face of the
enemy, and heard the firing of alarm signals at
his outposts it was the summons from the
grave At six o'clock in the morning the con-
demned officers were led to the place of execu-
ton Old Aulich died first he was the most
advanced in years, and the court-martial seem
ed thus to respect the natural privilege of age.
Distinguished by his zeal and efforts in the
cause of his country, more than by the success
which attended them, Aulich was inferior to
many of his comrades in point of TALENT but
in uprightness and strength of character none
surpassed him. Count Leiningen was third in
succession, and the Youngest. An opportunity
had been offered him late on thepreceding eve
ming of escaping by flight; but he would not
separate his fate from that of his brother-n-
law, who was also one of the prisoners in the
fortress.
His youth, perhaps, inspired him with de-
sire of giving to his older companions in sor-
row around him an example Of heroic stoicism
in death; and, on reaching the place of execu-
ton, he exclaimed with melancholy humor,
they ought at least to have treated us to break
fast One of the guard of soldiers compass
sionately handed him his wine-fask. Thank

LONG Dresses Us. STREET SWEEPING The
Boston Transcript says that at recent infor-
NAL convention of highly respectable ladies' of
that city, the following resolution was adopted,
mem. con -
"Resolred, That long dresses are provoking
obstacles to convenient walking: are literally
blooms in dry weather, and mops in wet wealth
er-and that it is the duty of all ladies to pro-
pose, all gentlemen to encourage, change of
fashion in this respect, so that our sex may en-
JOY the comforts and healthful advantages of
all proper exercise without restraint, and with
out sinful exposure to the injurious effects of
mud and water 10 our feet and ancles, and sore
vexation TO onr tempers."

THE S e E r
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

1 hear the far-off voyager's horn,
i see the Yankees trail
His foot on every mountain pass,
On every stream his sail.
He's whiting round St. Mary's Falls,
Upon his loaded vain;
He's leaving on the pictured rocks
His fresh tobacco stain.
hear the mattock in the mine,
The axe-stroke in the dell,
The clamor from the Indian lodge,
The Jesuit's chapel bell.
see the swarthy trapper come,
From Mississippi's springs;
And war chiefs with their painted brows,
And crests of eagles wings.
Behind the scared squaw's birch canoe,
The steamer smokes and raves;
And city lots are staked for sale,
Above old Indian graves.
By forest, lake and waterfall,
see the pedlar' show;
The mighty mingling with the mean,
The lofty with the low.
hear the tread Of pioneers,
Of nations yet to be;
The first low wash of waves, where soon
Shall roll a human sea.
The rudiments of empire here
Are plastic yet, and warm;
The chaos of mighty world
Is rounding into form.
Each rude and jostling fragment soon
Its fitting place snail find
The raw material of the State,
Its music and its mind
And, westening still, the star which lenas
The new world in its train.
Has tipped with fire the icy spears
Of many mountain chain.
The snowy cones OF Oregon
Are kindled on its way;
And California's golden sands
CLEAN brighter on its ray!

From the Washington Union.
UNION AND LIBERTY.
IIuzza ! huzza huzza !

Huzza huzza huzza
Our county still is free;
Undimmed each stripe and star
Floats proud DER land and sea;
While passions poisoned breath
Is hushed as if in death,
Meath the shout, all full and free
UNION and LIBERTY
Though mad the surges foam,
And wild the pillows play,
Unframed our bark will roam
Alhwart the dashing spray.
Nor care nor fright we feel,
While from the helmsman's wheel
The cry comes full and free
Union and liberty
The storm may burst in wrath
Around our vessels side;
But on its trackless path
An unseen hand will guide
Nor winds nor waves o'erwhelm,
While boldly from the helm
The cry comes full and free
Union and liberty
Each born star that glows
Above the tempest's roar,
Points where the water flows
Serenely from the shore;
Where, safe from all alarm,
Mid seas reposing calm,
The cry comes full and free
Union and liberty

HAIRS VS.. PILLs.-The principal competi-
TORS for ,he first ticket at the ticket auction
for Jenny Lind's first concert, were Genin,
the halter, and Moff.t, the piller. The halter
succeeded in getting the first and choice tick
ct. The public will now of course patrons
ize the Jenny Lind Halter. Mofaf, not the
least discouraged by defeat, is putting Jenny
through course of sprouts, TO obtain GER

suddenly afflicted that ii will be impossible
for Motiat to supply them all.

GENIN THE HATTER.--Some very wise
people affect 10 consider Genin, the N. York
Halter, who gave his 1926 for the first ticket

sharpest one in the crowd. He understands
