EDUCATION AND CRIME.-The philosophers of
some European countries have seriously discussed
the question, Whether intelligence is favorable TO
morallty-in other words, whether the diffusion of
knowledge was not attended, as a consequence, by
the increase of crime
Were this so, the wisest man in the world would
be the greatest sconndrel, and all men rascals in
proportion to their knowledge. Now the rule is
VIGOROUSLY the reverse, whatever seeming excep.
tons there may be, and in this rule is the safety of
societv for If mems disposition to commit crime in.
creased with their capacity, there would be no
safety.
The fact is, men are fools in proportion as thew
are knaves. Rascals are generally bunglers Sup.

poison right and left, and make wholesale slaughter
with little risk of detection, while the poisoner is

= AMERICAN ART IN PAR1s.-A correspondent
OF the New York Tribune writes, under date of
Paris, August 1st:
" AT MIR. Healy's the American artist, I encoun-
tered a number of artists-M. Couture, the cele-
brated painter of the Decadence des Romans ,
Mr. White, also young American artist of great
PROMISE. Mr.. Powell's great painting, 'The Dis
covery of the Mississippi by De Soto, in 1852 in.
tended for the Capitol at Washington, begins to
take its finishing air. By common consent, it is a
complete success Mr.. T. Jefferson BRYAN, of
Philadelphia, an eminent connoisseur of painting,
who has remarkable collection by the old masters,
calls it "a magnificent picture 1t has received
the praises of Count D'Orsay. 1t has about sixty
principal figures. On the left, coming out of the
forests, on the Chickasaw Bluffs, are armed knights
steel clad in the rich panoply of the middle ages.
The foremost figure is De Soto. They encounter
group OF lndians-one young man supporting an
Ola man, offering peace pipe the other proud
lofty, scowllng young warrior. On the ground are
several beautiful young Indian girls, making offer
ings OF fruit and game. In the rear are Indian
tents, an Indian mother and her baby running away
aitrghted groups of Indians coming up from the
rlver and some in canoes. To the right are priests
and men engaged in blessing a cross Just being
pianted-large and rough hewn-as a sign of Dos.

palnters-is forte of the author His coloring is
rich and harmonious, his composition distinct and
masculine" :

AUSTRIA AND THE UNITED STATEs.-The New
York Commercial has the following letter from its
Washington correspondent:
Itappears that Austria has been acting a part to.
ward this Government which may terminate in a
dissolution of our diplomatic relations. As Iun-
derstand the matter, The Cabinet at Vienna in
structed the American Charge at this capital, MIR
Hulsemann, to represent to the Administration
that in the event OF Kossuth and his compatrots
being received and afforded an asylum here, i,
would be cause sufficient for that Government to
withdraw its representative.
Accordingly, Mr.. Clayton was officially ly-informed
oil the ulllmatum but before he had time to decide
upon his course. Mr. Webster was installed as his
successor. Mr.. Webster was not long in determin.
ing what to do. He represented to Mr.. Hulsemann
that the refugees of bleeding Hungary would be
received with open arms, and that if Austria de-
manded, his passport would be ready at any mo-
ment. Whereupon Mr.. Fl. wrote home for fur.
ther instructions, but these not having arrived the
chagrined diplomatic may be supposed to serve only
in quasi capacity. This statement, receive from
such authority as may rely upon, and presume
it is essentially correct. We gain little by keeping
up the show of intercourse, for the whole amount
of our exports to- and imports rom the ports of the
empire, are not worth the protection of Charge,
and can as well be looked after by consul clothed
with ordinary commercial power.

THE AMERICAN FLAG, IN 1850.


BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.
We regard the American Banner already severed.
From d Faction Newspaper.
1t is not severed No as soon
The sister stars by tempest-wrack
Shall be divided in their sky
And darkle into chaos back
No there it floats, with every hue
Undmn'd as when it first unfurled
Against the storm and proudly threw
Defiance to the Tyrants world
And still the awful Bird that wheels
Amid the tempest wildly swelling,
And calmly hears the thunder peals
Within his storm-god's misty dwelling
Ave, still he guards from traitor-feet
The glories OF that standard Sheet
And bears it in his guardian hand
Resplendent over Freedoms Land
Cline of the Valiant and the Tried
Where Marion fought and Warren died
Where Monmouth still to Guilford calls,
And Valor walks through Vernon's halls,
While Honor muses. in the gloom
And glory of the Hero's tomb,
Or chants that grand old lay she made
Accordant with the dark blue seas,
That murmur mild where Freedom laid
Her lion -souled Miltades
Land Of the Forest and the Glen
Thou hardy nurse of hardy men
Land OF the Mountain and the Lake
Of rivers rolled from sea to sea,
In that broad grandeur fit to make
The symbols Of Eternity:
o, iairest cline o, dearest Land
w no shall thy banded children sever
God OF our Fathers here we stand
From Plyfnouths rock to Georgia's strand
Heart pressed to heart, hand linked in hand
And swear the Union lives forever"
Then float, float on thou Banner bright
With glory from the olden fight
Yes stainless standard of the brave
Thy wreath of stars still decks the wave
Where Honor once her Lawrence rolled
lo quiet IN thy spangled fold
Still, shining banner of the free,
The shackled nations turn to thee
And when at home thy shadow falls
Along the Armory's trophied walls,
The ancient Trumpets long for breath
The dinted sabres fercely start
To vengeance from each changing sheath
As if they sought some Traitors heart
. sacred banner of the brave
u standard of thousand ships
Guardian OF the Patriots grave,
Come, let us press thee to our lips =
There IS trembling of the rocks
New England feels the Patriot-shvvhs-
There IS a trembling in tie Lakes-
The West, the mighty West awakes;
There is a noise amid the pines
The white magnolias whittier bloom,
Upon the South new glory shines,
Shedding its glory DER Pnckney's tomb:
Behold the troubled air is dark
With martial ghosts-the hills are bright
With bands OF living men, and hark
Their voices come in mingled might
The Right shall live while Faction dies
The Traitors draw fleeting breath,
But Patriots drink from Gods own ewes
The light Of Truth that conquers Death.
Then fairest Flag Then dearest Land
Who shall thy banded childrel sever2
God OF our Fathers here we stand
From Plymouth's rock to Georgia's strand
Heart pressed to heart, hand linked in hand,
And swear the Union lives forever.n

Just before the time for the Professors espionage
they turned the ram out into the hall, having first
shod him with pieces of blanket. He was perfectly
black, and, of course. invisible in dark corridor.
HIS step also was noseess, he perarnbulated AT
pleasure, the wide hall. Presently the Professor
came stealing up stairs, and on tip-ioe proceeded
towards room whence Issued rather unusual
sounds. As he stopped to apply his optic to the
key-hole of the door, the ram, taking it as chal.
ienge, gave him a playful butt, and tumbled him
heels over head. Picking himself up as well as he
could, in his astonishment, he was assalled in the
rear, and once more prostrated. This amusing il.
lustration of the ups and downs of lite continued
some minutes, until both parties made an unpre.

lessor was not sufficiently hurt by his fall to disable
him from flight, and he made tracks for his dwell.

worthy Professor was seen, at a very early hour,
examining the floor of the hall very closely for
some tracks which might unfold to him the charac.

VALUE OF A VoIcE-It is stated by cores
pondent of the Home Journal that Jenny Lind
pays t45OO under the English income tax. She
invested in the English three per cents. about
S75OO0O. Her annual income, therefore, from
that source alone, about S22 900. He states that
she has given away in charity about fs4, 900,
(Sl00,0 ,0OO) as can be estimated. f27, 900
OF this was given in England $4,000 in Edin-
burgh. In Edinburgh she gave five concerts at
guinea a ticket. On the first four she cleared
i2o00O; and on the fifth an additional f50OO,
which was devoted to charitable purposes. He

agreeable to them. He was accustomed to steal
cautiously along the corridors of the college. and
whenever there appeared to be anything going on
not prescribed in the rules he did not hesitate to
peep through the key hole, and 'lake an obserya
tion.' Some Of the students resolved to cure him
of this propensity, and they hi upon the following
expedient:-ln the course of their walk they had
frequently seen at a neighboring farm large black
ram, which was perfectly tame, and which had
been taught to butt any who appeared to chal-
lenge him by stopping or howing his head. They
managed, one night, to entice- the ram TO the col
lege, where they secured him in al empty and
darkened room, and fed him the next day. At night,
