of mankind ?"
PAINTING, or music?
By MISS T. A. b.

This question has been proposed for dis
aus~l1n, aud though it cannot be denied,
that music is well calculated to charm, i'm.
prove aud soften the character, as well as
delight The senses yet is not painting its
irwin sister, mare beautiful, more enduring,
more comprehensive and capable of minis
terhg most 90 our nobest and highest aspi-
ratons ? Let us adduce a few of the many
advantages 1t possesses over the former, and
see Il this be not so
BY painting persons are enable to initiate
the great works of nature We can paint
the thick forrest, the open prairie, the rapid
running river, as it winds its course among
the towering and rugged mountains, which
over hang, OF embosom it, we can paint the
deep ocean; and not only these can be de-
lineated, but the immense number Of small
things that hover over the bosom of the
mighty deep; the deer bounding through the
forest, the king of birds as he expands his
broad wings and floats majestically through
the still air, the graceful horse as he is graz
ing on the beautiful green pasture the af-
fectionate dog too, may be pictured, and
every object seems reality. Agood paint
ing seems breathing with life. Music is des-
titute of this power.
The traveller who enters the Vatican in
Rome is struck with admiration as he views
its magnificent and ancient paintings, that
still remain to show the patience, skill, taste
and genius OF their authors, who spent long
years of toll in the accomplishment of the
design.
Painting can be preserved and handed
down from generation to generation, as me-
MORALS of the great men that have existed
before US, and as models for succeeding gem
erations But, music, like the soft tints Of
sunset, captvates, soothes, elevates relines
then melts away-the harmony is fed the
air, moment before so full Of melody Will
not repeat the strain.
Thousands are now breathIessly listening
to the far famed Jenny, almost forgetting
earth and its earthly things, as they hang
upon the exquisite tones, so full, so rare, we
may say so heavenly.
But, the spell will soon be broken,
and the cares Of life, its tolls, and vexations
must soon distract, and Jenny depart, to
charm other admi5ng multtudes but soon
she too will be hdshed, in the cold sleep OF
the grave, earth will perpetuate her name,
but not the music and sweetness of her voice.
Uncultivated minds are incapable oil APP
preciating fine painting, regarding it as
the labor Of dog, when perhaps it was the
work of whole life. Persons look at paint.
ings and pronounce them beautiful, but they
cannot esteem them as one who has Iabored
over them from day to day, and know ex.
acty what every touch of the brush cost
him. Music does Aot require so much labor
as painting, but when painting is COM
pleted it is far superior in my estimation to
musical performance. Therefore, as
Cooper says,
"Blest be the art that can immortalize,
The Art that battles times tyranic charm
To queneh it,"

Two years ago; by Gods providence, I. who
would be only an humble citizen, held in my
hands the destiny of the reigning house of Aus
tra.
Had I been ambitious, or had believed that
this treacherous family were SO basely wicked
as they afterward proved themselves to be, the
tottering pillars Of their throne would have fall
len at my command, and buried the crowned
traitors beneath their ruins or would have scat
tered them like dust before tempest, homeless
exiles, bearing nothing but the remembrance Of
their perfidy, and that royalty which they de-
served to lose through their own wickedness.
I, however, did not take advantage of these
favorable circumstances. though the entire free
