Near Fontenoy aux Roses (France) gen
tleman,who was devoting his leisure to statua-
ry, committed suicide under the following cir
cumstances: He was engaged in the compile
ton Of Leda in marble, which he considered
his chefd'o d'ouUre. In giving the last touch to
the composition. he broke the swans beak,
which formed part of the group. The artist
was plunged from this accidentin state OF
the most profound despair. He abstaned from
seeing his friends and kept himself constantly
confined to his house; after lew days he put
an end to his life.

Mrs Patterson of Baltimore, the Anne rcan
lady, connected with the Bonaparte family by
marriage. Being in Italy, at an evening par
~, it fell TO her lot to be handed in to the sup
per table by a young English nobleman, who
unlike most ofthe patricians ofEngland, had a
good share of the puppy in his composition.
Thinking to quiz the old lady, he said: "You

when you consider that they are descended

terson's toes again that evening.

Now, my lord, having cndeavorcd to
show that the whole of this process is al
together repugnant TO every part of my
life; that it is inconsistent with my con-
dition of health about that time ; that
no rational inference can be drawn that a
person is dead who suddenly disappears;
that hcrmitages were the constant rcpos-
tories of the bones of the reclusc that
the proofs Of this are we'll authenticated;
that the revolutions in religion, or the
future war, have inangled or buried the
dead; the conclusion remains, perhaps,
less reasonably than impatiently wish.

Notwithstanding this elaborate, but
specious defence, the guilt of Aram was
too clear to admit of doubt, and he ac.
cordingly received sentence of Death
He afterwards confessed the crime to
the clergyman appointed to attend him,
but ascribed it to the passion of jealousy
On the morning of his execution he was
found almost dead in his bed, in conse-
quence of a wound which he had inflicted
upon his arm with razor; paper in
which he attempted justification of sui
eide, being found upon table by his
side. His body after execution, was ex-
posed in chains at the scene of his guilt

The Lighthouse.

The scene was more beautiful far to the eye
Than if day in its pride had araycd it,
The land breeze blew mild and the azure
archcd sky
Looked pure rs the spirit that made it,
A murmur rose soft, as | silently gazed
On the sladowy waves playful motion,
From the dim distant isle, while the light
house fire bazcd
Like star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the joy of the sailor boys breast
Was heard in his wildly breathed numbers,
The sca-bird had flown to her wavc-sirdod
nest
The fisherman sunk to his slumbcrs:
A moment looked from the hills gentle slope,
All hushcd was the pillows commotion-
And thought that the lighthouse looked
lovely as hope,
That star of ife's trcmulous ocean.
The time is long past and the scene is afar,
Yet when my head rests on its pillow,
viii memory sometimes rellindle the star,
That shonc on the breast of the billow
In lifes closing hour, when my trembling soul
flies,
And death stills my hearts last emotion,
Oh then may the seraph of mercy arise,
Like n star on Eternity's Ocean.

A BEAUTIFUL PIcTURE.-The man
who stands upon his own soil, who
feels that by the law Of the land in
which he liyes-by the laws of civilized
nations-he is the rightful and cx-
elusive owner Of the land which he tills,
is by the constitution of our nature un-
der wholesome influence not easily
imbibed from any other source. lie
feels-other things being equal-more
strongly than another, the character
of a man az the lord of an inanimate
world. OF this great and wonderful
sphere, where, fashioned by the hand
of God, and upheld by His power, is
rolling through the heavens, part is
his-his from the centre TO the sky.
1t is the space on which the generation
before moved in its round of duties,
and he feels himself connected by a
visible link With those who follow him.
and to whom he is to transmit home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone
to their last home but he can trace
their footsteps over the scenes of his
daily labors. The roof which shelters
him was reared by those to whom he
owes his being. Some interesting do
mestic tradition is connected with eve
ry enclosure. The favorite fruit tree
was planted by his fathers hands. lie
sported in boyhood beside the brook
which still winds through the meadow.
Through the field lies the path to the
village school Of earlier days. He
still hears from the window the voice
of the Sabbath bell which called his
fathers to the house of God f; anc near
at hand is the spot where his parents
laid down to rest, and where, when
his time has come, he shall be laid BY
his children. These arc the feelings
of the owners of the soil. Words can
not paint them-gold cannot buy them;
they flow out of the deepest fountains
of the heart, they are the lifcsprings
of fresh, healthy, generous national
character tcr.-Edva'd Everett.
