passed out upon the piazza. The silken
fold fell noiselessIy 10 tie floor, yelling
the lighted roems beyond. The moon
light flooded all around with ifs soft
light. The music came with n softened
tone upon her ear. With slow lanqnid
step she passed on, her head dropping
low upon her bosom. A shadow lay
upon the white floor and she looked up,
and a gentleman was bef're her, lean
ing over the balustrade, "a figure which
made her heart beat faster and faster.
With the same noiseless step she would

Mr.. FpIroR: We wish to call the
attention Of those interested in the cause
Of the Fine Arts in Amerira to the bust
Of Webster. executed by J. G. King OF
Boston. This bust was taken in The
mouth Of April last. AT Washington, and
is considered by Webster rs the best
likeness Of himself. Indeed he has ev-
cry reason TO be pleased with ii as
truthful, speaking likeness. There Is a
meaning expression about the mouth
which 'scems halt inclined to speak y
that must strike every one who has seen
the original as the vertabe mouth OF
'the god-like." 1t is the first time that
we have seen representation Ct his
mouth, and is admitted by all to be the
most successful portraiture of it, yet -
The brow and all the FEATURES are most
captal!y executed, and give you "A real
sng sense of The power Of the scu!ptor's
chisel. There is IA natural, graceful
ease in the adjustment of The drapery
which is rarely given in marble. As
we gaze at the chisselled features, we
feel that We are looking more at an an
tique Roman, than II I" living yankee
Statesman" Pardon this familiarity of
expression; but being all our own" we
feel il certain license in speaking thus
freely.
The bust is now completed and the
mould being finished duplicates are fur
nshed at very moderate price. Those
| who wish to secure a beautiful speci-
men of The art as an ornament for their
studies or libraries, cannot fad anything
more appropriate" and those friends OF
the Statesman q" ho wish to possess the
best likeness OF their champion can do
so by calling on MIR. King, or sending
an order to his rooms in fremont Il, m
pie.
We are glad TO know that Mr.. X is
receiving orders from all parts IF the
Union. and We hope his list Of suhscri-
bcrS may be yet further increased

SsoRETbRY STUART's SPEEoHEs.-We have

~ Mr. Secretary Stuart at Hsrper's Ferry, Win

" observe how scrupulously he has refrained
from repeating, or even touching upon the
ground he took in his famous Richmond speech.
A burnt child breads the fire.
But his speech at Staunton, the other day,
was in almost as bad taste, and near about as
ridiculous as his Richmond effort His idea
that when Mr.. Fillmore went into the Office of
President the Union was about to be dissolved,
and the country was on the very brink Of o
fearful precipice, and that Mr. Fillmore and his
Administration SAVED The country and prese vued

piece OF gasconade and clap-trap. The count W
is no more safe now than it was then. II it is
to be destroyed, it is not so safe. If however.
it has been saved, the majority in Congress
which passed the Compromise measures. and
not Mr.. Fillmore and his Administration. saved
it. Mr.. Fillmore did his duty in regard to
these measures, and deserves credit therefor.
We recommend Mr.. Secretary Stuart not to
speak at all, unless he can pitch upon some.
thing moro plausible and reasonable than he
has yet done.
