While Kossuth is receiving the enthusiastic
sympathy, admiration and assistance of the peo-
pie of England aGd America, Gorgey, the other
great leader of the Hungarian War of Indepen-
dence, drags on lonely and monotonous exis-
tence at Klagenfurth, in Carintha, city much
resorted to by pensioned officers of the Austrian
army The New York Tribune says:
There he lives with his family, consisting of
his wife, single child, now three months old, a
woman servant, and soldier, who was his at
tendent through the war. He sees little society,
hardly family in the city having sought his ac-
quaintance. He has but one intimate friend,
and that is an Englishman. His time is passed
in studying chemistry and physics, and his chief
amusement is lecturing upon physical chemis-
try to a few persons. OF money he has plenty;
from the Austrian Government be receives
yearly pension of 5000 forins; and from that of
Russia he has received &C, 600 silver rubles' He
is very rarely seen in public; about once month
his wife prevails on him TO take walk for the
sake of his health, but in general nc avoids ap-
pearing abroad. The common people regard him
with aversion.
The contrast in the present condition of these
two leaders of Hungary, is no greater than the
contrast in their characters and conduct. Each
is endowed with their eminent abilities, and each
had opportunities seldom allotted to man Kos
suth was faithful to his country and liberty
Gorgey betrayed both. The one never filed SO
large place in the esteem or the affections OF
the civilized world as now the other Is despl-
sed and detested. The patriot as well as the
traitor has his reward.

The number Of female prisoners is very small

Of the Lopez captiyes, and particularly since the
exile of Mr.. Thrasher to the chain gang in that
place Few, however, know exactly its topo-
graphy and its relations to Spain.

Gibraltar, and is one of the Pillars of Hercules.

Roses bloomed in the garden, jessamines peep
ed through the lattices, and the fields about it
smiled with the effects Of careful cultivation.
Lights were seen in the little parIor in the even
ing; and many time would the pas senger pause
by the garden gate to listen to strains of the
sweetest music breathed by choral voices from
the cottage. If the mysterious student and wife
had been neglected by the neighbors, what cared
they? Their enduring mutual affection made
their home little paradise But death came
to Eden. Mary suddenly fell sick, and after a
few hours illness died in the arms of her hus-
band and her sister Madeline. This was the
students second heavy afiiction.
Days, months rolled on, and the anly solaoe
Of the bereaved was to sit with the sisters of the
deceased and talk Of the lost one. To Adelaide

They Were married in that church-it was ON

the ceremony the blackest cloud ever saw, over

pronounced her VOW, clap of thunder shook
the building TO its centre. All the females sbriek

Judges and counsel had much trouble to make
the tiInid witnesses upon trial speak sufficient

sible that the temper of the counsel may thereby
have been turned aside from the even tenor Of
its way. After this gentleman had gone through
the various stages of bar-pleading, and had coax

called into the box a young hostier, who
appeared to be simplicity personitied.

the astonished witness, attempting TO speak
louder than before, evidently thinking the fault
to be in his speaking too softly.

The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair,
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And Jewels are in her hair
She winks and giggles and simpers,
And simpers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russett,
And ragged and seedy at that
His coats are all out at the elbow,
He wears a most shocking bad hat.
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she, on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies a-bed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is still.in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains of her last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with - the flowing hair"
She's eloquent over mOustaches,
They give such foreign air.
She talks of Italian music,
And falls IN love with the moon,
And tho but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in a swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
and her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own,
Her body's made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with a fellow,
Who swells with foreign air,
He marries her for her money,
She marrieS him for his hair;
One Of the very best Matches
Both are we'll mated for life,
She got fool for her husband,
Hes got q fool for his wife.
