the account from which we have quoted
goes on to say:
@When Madame Kossuth descended
from the carriage she found herself in The
presence of her husband, who had risen
from his bed of illness to receive the poor
sMaria F-n" Of the plains of Hungary.
In place of receiving her in his ms M
Kossuth, overcome by feelings Of admira-
ton for the sufferings she had undergone,
and by gratitude for her devotion to the
cause Of her country, threw him self at her
feet and kissed them. She endeavored to
speak and offer her husband consolation
and tranquility, while her own poor feeble
heart was ready to burst with emotion.
Her voice failed, and amid the reiterated
shouts of Hung garians and Poles, this Heroic
woman was carried to her husbands apart
ments."
In our rejoicing, therefore, at the liberia
ton and the coming hither Of the great pat
riot, let us,not forget the heroic adventures
of his noble wife, and let the same interest
which the British Consul at Belgrade, and
the united population Of Shumla displayed
in her success, the same respect for her vir-
tues, the same joy at her happiness. be man
ifested by the fathers and sons, the brothers
and husbands of American women.

kOSSuih'S Address TO the Democrats of

The London Times Of the 9th, contains
the letter of kossulh 10 the Perfect of the
department, Of MarseilIes, on his arrival a,
France, asking for free passage TO Eng
land for tie purpose Of placing his children
at school, before taking his departure for
the United States. The demand being re
fused, Nj. Kossu,h published the following
address so the Democrats of M,rseilles:
Cilizens-The government ofthe French
rebublic having refused me permission to
traverse France, the people Of Marseilles,
yielding to the impulse of one of these gen.
erous instincts OF the French heart which
are the inexhaus.ible source Of the noble-
ness of your nation, has honored N by
manifestation Of its republican sentiments
"a manifestation honorable for its motives,
manly for its resolution, peaeeable in its
ardor, and ps majestic in its calmness as

with the shouts of Nre la Rspubl,qne!!--a
cry which is the only legal one in France;
the only one whose Legitimacy has been
won by the blood of the martyrs of liberty!
Ii is so natural TO love freedom! II is so
light 10 suffer il! 1t is almost less than a
mere duty; but there is indeed, supreme
glory in the thought Of being identified
with the principle Of liberty TO the mind OF

To you, Frenchmen! repablicans! is the
honor of that salyalion! To US poor Hun
garians, The duty Of meriting it! We shall

appeal of your fraternity. II will be proud
of, and bravely respond 10 it, as those
ought to do who arc honored in beiug call

These are the only thanks worthy Of the
people Of Marsellles-worlby of that man.

Song for Thinkers.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

Take the spade of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide;
Every rotten root of faction
Hurry out, and cast aside,
Every stubborn weed Of Error;
Every weed that hurts the soil;
Tares, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, whate'er the toll!
Give the stream of Education
&. Broader channel, bolder force; ~
Hurl the stones of Persecution
Out, where'er they block its course;
Seek for strength in self-exertion; .4s-
Work, and still have faith to wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune;
lej Make the road to honor straight! fs
Men are agents fer the future!
#, As they work so ages win .a 5s
Either harvest of advancement,
lzA Or the product OF their sin! 10
Follow out true cultivation, -,.
Widen Educators plan;
From the majesty of Nature
s7f Teach the majesty Of Man! is So
Take the spade of Perseverance:
st. Dig the field of Progress wide;
Every bar to true instruction
Carry out, and cast aside;
Feed the plant whose fruit is Wisdom; zff
Cleanse from crime the common sod;
So that from the throne Of Heaven
1t may bear the glance of God.

The Peer Mans Grave.
BY ELIZA COOK.

No sable pail, no waving plume
No thousand torch lights to illume;
Ne parting glance, no heavy tear, "
Is seen to fall upon the bier,
There is not one of kindred clay
To watch the coffin on its way; es
Ne mortal form, no human breast,
Cares where the pauper's bones may rest.
But one deep mourner follows there,
Whose grief outlives the funeral prayer;
He does not sigh--he does not weep
7. But viii not leave the sodless heap.
'Tis he who was the poor mans mate,
. Aid made him more content withfate,
The mongrel dog, that shared his crust
Is all that stands beside his dust, gsz.
: He bends his listening head as thsugh :
) Hethought to hear aveice bellows -
, He pines to miss that voice 80 kind, >
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come
Heneeds no food, he seeks no homes pa
But, stretched upon the dreamless bed, @
4 With dOleful howl calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that polished marble tell; " -~s' .
9 For temples built on church yard earth
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who would mark with undimmed eyes
The mourning dog, that starves and dies?
Who would not ask who would not crav
Such love and faith to guard his grave?

The Wife of K0ssuth.

the expected arrival of KossUTH, relates
the following incident, illustrative Of the
devotion Of his wife ITO her husband after

incredible sacrifices and devoted disre-
gard to thousand dangers, traversed hos

Olympus. 1t was under the protection ol
passport from the British Consul General
at Belgrade, that as British subjects, under
assumed names, she and her companions
were enabled to accomplish this great ad.
venture, and when, on the twenty-eight day.
a courier was sent in advance of them to
apprise Kossuth Of their approach to Shum-

many plans Of the Austrians to assassinate

the carriage neared the city; and as it en-

AGRlcULruRE IN OREGoN.-A letter
from Umbqna VALLEY, Oregon, published
in the New York Courier, says the climate
is so mild in that quarter OF the globe, tha,
sleeping out doors is no hardship. Even.
in winter the ground in The valleys never
freezes, so thai oats, potatoes and barley
are sown in the fall.
The wheat has the largest berry ever
seen. Of a corresponding quality are
raised fre years IN succession from one
