Bon jour, Monsieur k0SSuth | am glad
to see yGu.'

GAIL hail. great chief, the Peoples pride!
,. Who ali revere--all love to see: -s=
Thou more than Emperor, Prince or King:
For souls are bound to thee"
Thus rose the shout in Albion's Isle, s
Alike from grave and gay;-
On passed the throng-on went the ssund,
Borne by the breeze away.
An humble boy, amid the throng, .....
With deep emotion gazed;-
He heareth not the paeans loud,
Nor may his voice be raissd.
His tongue is mute, his ears no sound
To that bright soul convey;
But still his gladsome eye can see
Where all their homage pay. .rr--
He would huzza for Liberty
9 For Freedom chosen Chief
But utterance fails him in that hour;-
Yet droops he not in grief
Oh no! a guardian Providence
s Has given the dumb one books: .-.
He knows to read. to feel, to write;
And o'er the crowd he looks.
One moment, and resolve is fixed:-
He, though an humble boy,
Feels his great soul for Freedom burn,-
Would wish her chieftain joy!
His little slate he instant draws,
And, straightway, through the crowd
He wends his way to the great man.
Though dumb, he's brave and proHd!
Earth stretched his arm that he might see
To whom was homage paid
''Bon jour Kossnfh. may not hear,
. Nor speak, k,-Fm not afraid
To welcome thee, with throbbing breast,
Mid true hearts stout and brave,
Where freedoms sun doth brightly shine
Where none can souls enslave."
And that great chief had been loud praised,
By statesman, warrior, sage
In sunny France, ltalia's land,-
On the broad printed page. ~-.-
But ne'er had soul thus broken forth
Meier been such homage given, s-&
~ AS from the working-boy of Gaul,-
Like but the breath of heaven!

Ono of the most beautiful incidents that has
been recorded, connected with the progress Of
kossuTH from his place of exile in Turkey to
the City Of London, IS that relating to deaf
and dumb boy Of Southampton, in England,
who, as the immense crowd was passing, press
ed his way TO where the great chiettain was,
and holding up his slate there was found upon

The court adjourned the prisoner,

followed the Judge to his chambers. The
next day pardon for John Brown passed
the seals, and the beginning of the week saw
the husband and his noble spirited wife at
Hopedale, vita the Judge for welcome
guest. Years Of peace and joyous plenty
rolled on. Long aad fervently did the par
doned criminal pray for forgiveness, and at
last, in Gods own time the bloody stain
upon his hand was washed away by the
blood of him who died ON Calvary, that man
might find at last glorious rest in the
realms of matchless beauty, and of never
dying love. The farmer of Hopedale, for
many years was considered the exemplar of
the country around, and at last when he
died, which was shortly after his wife had
departed for another rest, he was placed in
the same grave with her, and over their
bones marble cenotaph was raised, upon
which was inscribed in deep and lasting

Ten years rolled away, and the wife of
John Brown suddenly disappeared from
iioprdale, and then the farm hous e, like
deserted thing, stood solitary and silent
amid the smiles of autumn. a middle
sized stranger, with q sailors jocket and
larpaulin on, and bundle dangling a, the
end OF club over his shoulders, rested be
side the door Of Hopedale. The stranger,
though somewhat intoxicated. appeared to
be very sad. He looked in nj the wasted
doorway. He gazed upon the cold barren
hearth. He saw the planks worn BY the
foot of the thrifty housewife, anG marked
portion Of her dress in the broken pane of
the ki,cken window. The nail where the
good mans ha, had hung for years, was
there, with a circle around it of unsmoked
paint. The crane hung sadly in the cor.

echoed not there. The stranger raised his

The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we judge, lonG.fslt
desidsrGtum-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lsh courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in tho
fret number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851. This IL unparai-
leled dcspatah in the history Of legal reporting.
Westminster Is here brought two years nearer to
US than our own courthouse. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with il.
The page 10 large, fair, white, and readable The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes us as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.

the value Of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave Volumes for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annuni. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal

Such publication, we think. cannot fail to be
useful to the profession and profitable to the pub
