Henry w. LosorrLLow, THE Porr.-
The Dublin University Magazine, in a
review Of Mr.. Longfellow's works,
says:-
"With Hyperion, the public have been
for some line familiar; that il is not
generally known that in this exquisite
little story are shadowed forth the lead
ing incidents of the poets life, and that
he himself is he hero Of his own ro-
nance. We shall give the facts as they
have come to our knowledge, and we
are assured they will not fail to inter-
est our readers.
"About the year 1887 Longfcllow,
being engaged in making the tour OF
Europe, selected Heidelberg for per-
manent winter residence. There his
wife was attacked with un illness which
ultimately proved fatal. 1t SO happened
that sometime afterwards there came to
the same romantic place a young lady
of considerable personal attractions
The poets hear, Was touched-he be-
came attached TO her; but the beauty
Of sixteen did not sympathze with the
poet Of thirty-slx; and Longfellow re-
turned 20 America having lost his heart
as we'll as his wife. Tho young lady
also an American, returned home short
Iy afterwards. Their residences, it turn
ed out, were contiguous, and the poet
avaiIed himself Of tie opportunity Of
prosecuting his addresses, which he did
for considerable time with no better
success than at first. Thus foled, he
set himself down, and instead, like Pc
trach. of laying siege TO the heart of his
mistress through the medium Of sonnets,
he resolved to write whole book-a
book which would achieve the double
object Of gaining her affections, and Of
establishing his own fame. Hyperion
was the result. His labor and his con-
stancy were not thrown away-they
met their due reward. The lady gave
him her hand as we'll as her heart and
they now reside together at Cambridge,
in the same house which Washington
made his head quarters when he was
6rst appointed to the command Of the
American armies. These interesting
facts were communicated to US by We
ry intelligent American gentleman
whom we had the pleasure Of meeting
in the same place which was the scene
Of The poets early disappointment and
sorrows."

DoINe As SHE WAS ToLD.-The Albany
Express tells the following laughable
affair which occurred in the family of
friend. The master of the house had
purchased for dinner, among other
things, a quantity of green beans, and
sent them home. HIS wfe told the
girl-who, by the way, was a daughter
OF Erin to string the beans preparatory
to their being cooked. Prompt TO obey
the bidding Of her mistress, she proceed
ed to the work. Wheu the lady Of the
house went into the kitchen, she found
her servant busily engaged in stringing
the beans, and had completed string
about three feet in length. Convulsed
with laughter, she was compelled to
withdraw Tor a few minutes until she
could regain her wonted composurc,
then, returning, she explained to the
girl her mistake. "Shure," said she
''yees tould me to stirring him, and amt
l afiher doin it 2" BY dnt of persever-
ance she was induced to follow the ex-
ample Of her mistress, and finished
Infringing the beans in proper style.

How TO DRAw rHx SiSsERs.-Sev.
eral years ago we were resident oil
northwest rn Louisiana, near the con-
lines Of Texas. The people there, as
general thing, were not much given 10
religion. An i,inerant preacher hap
pened along in the ncighborhood during
this dcarth Of religion. and set about re-
pairing the walls Of Zion in good earn
est. But his success was poor. Nut
over half a dozen could be got together
at his Sunday meetings. Determined.
however, TO create an interest before
leaving the neighborhood, he procured
printed handbills and had them posted
up in every conspicuous place in the
district, which read to the following ef
feet:
"RrL,oious Norics.-The Rev. Mr..
Blancy will preach next Sunday, in
Dempsey's Grove, at 10 o'clock A. NJ,
and at 4 p. NJ, Providence permitting.
Between the services, the preacher will
run his sorrel mare, Julia, against any
nag that can be trotted out in this re-
gion, for purse offive hundred dollars"
This had the desired effect People
focked from all quarters, and the ankle
ty to see the singular preacher was ev.
en- greater than the excitement foil wing
the challenge. He preached an elegant
sermon in the morning, and after dinner
he brought out his mare for the race
The purse was made up by five or six
of,he planters, and an opposing nag
produced. The preacher rode his little
sorrel, and won the day, amid the deaf
ening shouts, screams, and yells Of the
delighted lpeople. The congregation
all remained TO the afternoon service,
and at it's close more than two hundred
Joined the church some from motives
Of sincerity, some for the novelty Of the
thing, some from excitement, and some
because the preacher was a good fellow.
The finale Of the affair was as flourish

POSTAGE TO CHA0REs, PANAMA, CAL
iroakiA, AND OHEooN.-Wea are request
ed to ca the particular attention Of
postmnsters 10 tho rates Of postage on
letters to California and Oregon, and
also TO the fo,Ggn places (Chagres and
Panama) on the route to California.
In rating letters tor California and
Oregon, II must be borne in mind that
these countries nno form a part Of the
United States and are OF course enu-
tied to the advantage Of the domeshc
rates, according to the official "tables OF
postages within the United States" re-
Gently sent TO postmastcrs throughout
the country. Hence We are authorized
to say that the single rate to California
or Oregon (,hc distance being over
5000 miles) is sir cents prepaid, and
ten cents unpaid. On newspapers and
other printed matter sent TO California
or Oregon, the d,mestic rates also Of
course apply.
But to Chagres and Panama Ooreign)
the letter postage must be rated under
that clause in The law specifying letters
to be conveyed wholly or in part ty
sea, and to or from foreign country"
Therefore the single-letter postage to
either Chagres or Panama is ten cents,
the distance from the mailing Office is
under 2, 500 miles, and t,oeniy cenfs If the
distance is over $500 miles; in both
cases TO be prepaid when the letter 10
sent from, and collected, when received
in, the United States. To either Of
these places, from New York, we are
Informed that the distance erceeds $500
miles; from all the southern ports the
distance is less than $500 miles.
As the law on these points appears.
at first sight, a little doubtful, and s
therefore liable to misconstruction, we
think that editors Of papers generally
would do public service by calling
special attention to the subject. Nation

DMr. Russell gave his Secoi d
Reading Of the Course 10 an intelligent
audience Il, Bellevue Hall, Friday ev.
ening, He read from Ac, |. Scene 81

,ion and illustration of the character Of
Shylock was excellent. and called forth
frequent applause. AIcxander's Feast
was rccitcd with great power and ef-
feet The parts from School for Sc a.
dial, Sir Peter and Lady Teazlc, were
admirably read, and the characters
strongly sustained by Mr.. Russell this
drew forth frequent applause, owing,
probably To the naturalncss Of The char
acters, which 10 so often Witnessed in
every day lie. Mrs. Browning's poem,
The Duchess May, was reci,ed with
great feeling and accuracy, and the in
donations OF Mr.. Russcll's voice were
better than we ever heard him produce
before, in any piece. Lochinvar from
Scott, was also we'll done. But the clo-
sing piece, Sam Weller's Valentino,
was exquisite. Mr.. Russell has a per-
feet conception Of the characters OF Wei
Ter senior and Weller junior, AZ portray
ed by Dickens and TO listen to his per.
sonifcatoh Of each, you can scarcely

Iogue between these two distinguished
personagcs, ANXIOUS for his
sons welfare, and fearing that he will
be en,rapped by some shrewd and ex-
experienced vidder, land Samivel equal
ly anxious to become more ia niliar with
the fair sex.
Mr.. Russell has most decidedly inn
proved since we last had the pleasure
Of hearing him, some two years agu
and we are confident that he is now en-.
titled To n position among the best Of
the pus lie readers Of the day.
He reads again Wednesday evening,

that occasion we know that he will Of
fer an intellectual treat which will be
valued by all who have brains. Mr..
RusseIrs many accomplishments his
rare virtues, goodness of heart, unns-
suming modes'y and pleasing manners
commend him warmly to the good and
refined ofevery community. There is
no clap-trap about this matter whatev-

Russell Is all that he is represented to
be. Take our word for it and 60 to

Ma. EDlroR,-


Allow me room 10
say word or two to our citizens con-
cerning these accomplished musicians.
These Gentlemen in every public per-
formance thus far have offered to their
audiences nothing but music OF the high
classic order. This is sufficient to show
that their taste Is perfected by an ac-
quaintance with the masters. 1t is a
great privilege to have an opportunity
or hearing the exhibition of the thoughts
Of those men who have swayed the
world so many years. Ought not our
citizens more generally TO alten ! these
concertsf Il seemeth 30 TO the writer
Aside from the pleasure ofsuch perfect
performances, they elevate the mind
and taste above music OF an inferior
stamp and awaken desire for improve
ment in the music ofour town generally.
II 10 to be hoped, therefore, that our
citizens will not allow such excellent
opportunities for advancement to pass
by unimproved. IwIl add that the above
is written by one who has no interest in
the matter, excepting an ardent desire
Tor the progress OF musical culture.

SINGULAR CONFESSION OF A MURDER
In Halifax, recently, private Of the lst
Royal Regiment, now IN garrison, about
to return 10 England, appeared at tho
Police Court, and voluntarily confessed
to having murdered young woman,
about eight years ago, at Norwich, Eng
land. The mans name is Thompson,
a native Of Dumirieshre, Scotland
The victim of this felony was young
woman with whom he had been on terms
Of intimacy, and the crime was perpe-
,rated in the evening, in lonely place,
by drowning her in canal. The crime
had 80 preyed upon the offenders mind,
that he at length determined to give
himself up to justice, and permit the law
to take its course. He was committed,
and probably will be sent to the scene
of the offence to await his trial.
