about leaving Louisville. where he had
sojourneda few days.for St. Louis. whence
he would go,o New Orleans. In Louis
vile, the Common Council rcsolutely re-
fused to give him public reception. and
his success seems to have been but indif-
fcrent. He made two speeches. one OF
which was addressed to the German resi-
dents--at the rate Of one dollar head
He told them that the Government had the
power TO act, and appealed to them to ex-
crcisc their influence, through the ballot

The eloquent Magyar has very nearly
run his race. He has administered upon
his own reputation and committed such a
waste as would be actionahle, if the case
could be reached by law. The world has
scarcely ever seen so universal an enthu
siasm, excited in favor of one man.as X os
suth commanded few short months ago
That enthusiasm has now nearly all cool

genius and love Of country. were disposed

sible appeals for Governmental intcrfer,

become disgus,ed witt, his arrogance, his
d"gma'ism. and his ingralitude. We are
disposed to think that the wave of feeling,
in its rcHux, has gone nearly as much too
far back ward, as in its flow, it went too far
forward. Certainly, he has of late done
much to chill the arJor Of his admirers,
but it should not. for all that. be forgotten,
that he made a noble stand in defence
and the rights Of man, when
tyranIs were watching for him. as tigers

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.

1t was bright day in spring, and
Broadway was alive with gaiety and
hustle. A stranger who had been cros-
sing that great thoroughfare at noon,
somewhere about the corner of Murry
street. would have wondered what object
it could be on the other side of the way
that was disturbing the whole street. and
without exactly drawing a crowd, was
attracting every body's attention, and
making gentlemen seek an excuse for
stopping and looking back, and almost
envy the humble way.farers who were
privileged to be ungenteel. A denizen
of New York, who had only heard of
the commotion, would at once have
known it must be Miss Kaye stepping
from her carriage into the store of her
ieweller. Her doe.colored carriage, OBJ
structed by crowd of carriages in front
of Tenny's, had drawn up some doors
off, and in order to reach the place, she,
whose pearly shoe not often touched the
pavement, was once compelled to witch
the world with noble walking. The in
slant her blue and white liveries were
seen opening the door and rattling the
steps down, simultaneous impression
seemed to be produced upon the crowd
that was lettering along the sidewalk;
they drew back on all sides, a kind of
avenue was formed, and she stepped for
ward with a magnificent and elastic
tread, as if the earth yielded beneath
her feet. Fortunately at that very spot,
a bore held me by the button. (Amia.

ed; and for the first time in my life re.
cognized why a beni6cent Providence
had created bores that held people by
the button.) gazed with delight al.
most awed into homage. A more ex'
halted vision had never beheld. Ma
jesty softened into delicious beauty
grandeur of attitude and feature, made
lovely by pervading spirit ofsweetness
and sympathy, produced in her spirit
that charmed ere you could admire,
dare say it will seem an odd thing to
say, but there is nothing that has since
reminded me so much of the impression
she then produced upon the eye, as the
bright fountain in the Park! There was
in her the same easy, | may say reluct
ant magni6cence the splendid purity
and soft sparkle, combined with such al
entire unrestraint and abandonment o
effort, that you feel as if in that form
and motion the very essence of grac'
was made palpable before your eyes, an

Miss Kaye left the store Immediately,
unpreceived by them both.
1t was fortunate for her that, in the
interval Of her absence, her carriage had
drawn up Immediately in front of the
shop door, or she must have fallen to
the pavement. With dizzied head
she tottered forwards, and the servant
who stood there caught her in his arms.
She rallied, with a powerful effort,
and saying to the footman in a faint
voice "home!" got into the vehicle.
One who had seen those pale, shrunken
features - the fixed glaring eye, the
withered lip, the distortion and deadly
agony of the whole face, could not have
recognized the glorious countenance
from which q moment before power and
hope had looked so majestically forth.
The footman seeing that his mistress
was i'll, ordered the coachman to drive
with the utmost rapidity, and in few
minutes Miss Kaye was at her house
He opened the carriage door Immediately
and seeing his mistress throw hersel
out Before the steps were down the hon
est fellow caught her in his arms ant
carried her all the way into the draw
ing room. He placed chair and hand
ed her tumbler of water.
IN a few minutes her physical weak
ness was conquered. Miss Kaye ros'
and walked into her chamber, summon
ing all the determination and energie
of her nature, and sat down to conside
her course.
1t was an intense and awful struggle
which wrung her spirit. The quie
stern working Of her lips, the finish o
the cheek and the flashing of her ey'
told with what strength her purpose wa
devolving.
"He shall feel his baseness," sh'
muttered to herself.
On the following morning she sa
alone in the drawing room, when MI
Hunbury came in. Orders having beef
given to admit no other person.
"Do you think" said she as soon a

him that dark eye which burned wit

T; Her manner was much controlled an
her voice calm, yet, in despite of effor
her tones vibrated with a searchin
sharpness of sarcasm which astonishe
Mr.: Hanbury, and agitated him not
little. The consciousness Of what hi

He answered, not knowing what she
could be meaning.
"There are persons. think, who, if
they ever had souls, have succeeded in
wearing all traces of them out of them

She rose and stood before the table,

Mr.. Hanbury were surprised at he1

her, regretted it not little, for they
deemed him a thorough worldling whose

likely to produce, and whose purposes
were utterly selfish and base.
Such, indeed, and worse, he really
was, but the truth is, the most intelligent
woman is no judge of man who pays
her attention. Miss Kaye did not knc "

that was before her, was as happy as

arrangements relating to that expected
