GEN. ARTHUR GoRGEY.

In "History of Hungarian War; now in
course of publication in Frazer's Magazine,
we find the following reference TO an officer
who occupied mos, prominent position in
the Hungarian army, and whose conduct ex-
ercised a most powerful influence upon his
country's destiny. He had particularly dis
tingushed himself al The unfortunate battle
of Schwechat, fought almost under the walls
Vienna, at which time he simply held the
rank of major. The unsuccessful leader in
the battle, Gen. Mora, was compelled to re-
sign, and Kossulh Immediately placed the
chief command of the national forces in the
hands Of Gorsey. The writer then goes on
to say
Arthur Gorgey, formerly snbalern in the
Austrian army, resigned his commission at
time when no patriotic motives could have
prompted that step Poor and unprotected
as he was, il is TO be presumed that the
slowness Of military career Jared upon his
impatient ambition. Though no other pro-
lession was open 10 him, he resigned the
scanly ray OF subalern with the same syn
ical. indifference which he displayed on
other momentous occasions, and he devoted
| himself to life of misery and privations.-
addressed, fed, and lodged, he passed sew
eral years in The chemical laboratories al
Vienna and Prague. Even at that time, his
military bearing, tall and active figure, sa-
turnine aspect, the ronghness and studied
brutality of his address, his neglected hair
and beard and the torn and filthy raimen'
which appeared matter of choice rather
than of necessity, awakened the curiosity Of
strangers, and amused and perplexed his
friends. He preferred, or pretended to pre-
fer, the coarsesi food, and even of this he
ate sparinely. lie would leave his wrelched
attic TO sleep en- stone floor, or on the hard
and frozen earth. In all this was much dis
cpline, bu, also much temper and atfecta'
iion. He delighted in appearing mysterious
unaccouuiable, impeneirable. The oblTnsive
contempt with which he affected to regard
social customs and the opinions OF men be-
trayed his desire for notoriety.
When Jellachich's invasion threatened
Hungary, Mr.. Gorgey offered his services to
the Batlhyanyi cabinet They were readily
accepted, and he was charged with the or
gauiza,ioa and the command OF free corps
aud instructed to defend The banks OF the
Danube, near the island of Csepel While

NEW ENGLAND.
BY WHITTIER.

| Land of the forest and the rock
OF dark blue lake end mighty river
OF mountains reared alofi to mock
The slorm's career, the lightning's shock
My own green laud forever!
Land of the beautiful and brave
The freemau's home-ihe martyrs grave-
The nursery OF giant men,
Whose deeds have linked with every glen,
Aud every hill and every stream.
The romance of some warriordream I!
Oh never may son OF thine,
Where're his wandering steps incline,
Forget the sky which bent above
His childhood like 1ream of love-
The stream beneath the green hill flowing
The broad-armed trees above il growing
The clear breeze through The foliage
blowing
Or hear, unmoved, the tarnt Of scorn
Breaihed o'er the brave New England born
Or mark The Strangers iagner hand
Disturb the ashes OF thy dead
The buried glory of land
Whose soil with noble blood is red,
And sanclited in every part,-
Nor feel resentment, like brand,
Unsheathing from his fiery heart
Oh greener hills may catch the sun
Beneath The glorious heaven of France
Aud streams, rejoicing as they run
Like life beneath the day-beam's glance,
May wander where the orange bongh
With golden fruit is bending low;
And there may bend brighter sky
Der green aud classic Italy,
And pillaied fame aud ancient grave
Bear record of another time,
And over shaft and archltrave
The gIeen lnNnriant ivy climb
And far towards the rising sun
The palm may shake its leaves on high,
Where flowers are open one BY one,
Like stars upon the twilight sky,
And breezes soft as sighs of love
Above the broad banana stray,
And through the Brahmin's sacred grove
A thousand brieht-hued pinons play!
YET unto thee, New England, still
Thy wandering sons shall stretch their
arms,
And thy rude chart Of rock and hill
Seem dearer than the land of palms
Thy massy oak and mountain pine
More welcome than the banyan's shade
And every free, blue stream OF thine
Seem richer than The golden bed
| OF oriental waves which glow
And sparkle with the wealth below.

who was an ambitious man and fond of pow
er, was still fonder of money, and always
Kept an eye 10 the main chance. On The day
before he mounted the throne, in August,
1890 he executed "A deed of gift-a dotation
the French call tin favor of his children
OF all his vast property, amounting 10 about
two hundred millions Of france, reserving TO
himself The usufruc: of it, by which the con-
veyance remained imperative until after his
death. The reoason for the deed OF gift was
this: By the laws and usaoes of France. for
| long time back, a person coming 10 the
throne ceased to own private property, and
all that he was in possession of previously
became, ipsofacto, vested in the Crown that
is it was annexed TO the sovereignty, let that
| sovereignty be where it might This law
Louis Philippe dslegarded, and thought that
by his dotation he would secure TO his family
all his enormous wealth. There was some
discussion about his proceeding at the time,
bnt 10 resistance to il, as the uCi,izen King''
was then loo powerful and too popular to be
resisted. And so things went on during his
reign OF seventeen years and half. When
he went into exile in lS4S, his dispositions
with regard TO his property were respected,
and continued so TO be until the 23d of jan
nary last, on which day Louis Napoleon, by
a decree of about dozen lines, confiscated
to the use of the State the whole OF the es-
tate of Lonis Philippe included in his dota-
tion, on the ground that that act was illegal,
and that on his accession, his estates vested
by operation of law in the sovereign, with
out respect TO the person. The lawyers diff
fer about this; but the usage and the precs-
dents are against the doiation. Henry the
Fourth attempted TO do the same thing that
Louis Philippe did, but his designs were frus-
trated by The Parlamen,s-then judicial tri-
bunals-and he finally acQuiesced in their
decision.

Go lay to earth listening ear
The tramp Of measnied marches hear,
The rolling of the canou's wheel,
The sho,ied muskel's murderous peel,
The night alarm, the sentrys call,
The qnick-eared spy in hut and hall,
From Polar sea to tropic FEM.
The dying groans of eXiled men,
The hnlied cell, the galley's chains,
The scaiold smoking with its stains,
Order-th the hush of hroodipe slaves
Peace--in the dungeon vaults and graves
Oh Fisher with thy world wide ret
And snares in every water sci,
Whose tabled Keys of heaven and hell
Bolt ha-d the patriots prison cell,
And open wide the bauunet hall
Where kings and priests hold carnival

COL. CRICKLEY's HORSE.

have never been able (Says Paul Grey
ten) to ascertain the origin of the quarrel
between the Crckley'S and the Drakes.-
They had lived within mile of each other
in Illinois, for five years, and from the first
OF their acquaintance, there had been mu-
tual feeling of dislike between the two fam
lilies. Then some misunderstanding about
their boundary oftheir respective farms re-
vealed The latent fame and Col. Crickley
having followed a fat buck all one alter
noon, and wounded him, came up TO him
at dark and found old Drake and his sors
cutting him up This incident added. fuel
to the fire, and from that time there was
nothing the two families did not to annoy
each other. They shot each others ducks
in the river purpoSely mistaking for wild
ones, and then, by way of retaliation, COM
menced killing of each others pigs and
calves.
One evening, Mr.. Drake, the older was
returning home, "with his pocket full of
rocks" from Chicago, whittier he had been
TO dispose of load of grain. Sam Barstow
was with him on the wagon, and so they
approached the grove that INTERVIEWED be-
tween them and MIR. Crickley's house, when
he observed to his companion.
"What beautiful mark Col. Crickley's
old Roam is, over yonder"
''Hang it :" muttered old Dodge, $50 it
is."

about twelve rods from the road.
1nvoluntariIy around then with queer
smile the old hunter took up his rifle from
the bottom OF the wagon, and raising it to
his shoulder, drew sight at the Colonel's
horse.
''Beautful!" mutered Drake, lowering
his rifle with the air OF man resisting pow
eriul temptation. 81 could drop old Roam
so easy"
''Shoot p suggested Sam Barstow, who
loved fun in any shape.
"No, no, 'twouldn't do" said the old
hunter glancing cautiously around him.
81 won't tell !" said Sam.
81 won't shoot this time, any way, tell
or no tell. The horse is too high. II he
was fifty rods of instead OF twelve, so there'd
be bare possibility for mistakiug him for
a deer, I'd let fly. AS it is I'd give the
Colonel FIVE dollars for shot,"
AT that moment the Colonel himself
stepped from behind big oak, not half a
dozen PAGES distant, and stood before Mr.
Drake!
