The Military Of Euope-The military ar
ray of Belgium continues to be greatly dispro-
portioned, in magnitude and expense, to her
population and exchequer Naples maintains
an army of upwards of a hundred thousand,
with ten or twelve thousand cavalry. Sir Ar
chibald Allison assigns six hundred thousand
to Russia, and adds: Fifteen hundred thou
sand are marshaed on the Continent, ready
for mutual slaughter, and waiting only signal
from their respective cabinets to direct their
united hostilItes against any country which
may have provoked their resentment"
Nevertheless, we shall not see war, nor
nor any such league. According to
the same authority, the triumph Of the Empe-
ror Nicholas on the p aims of Hungary, render
ed him the undispuled master Of the East of
Europe, and forced Austria into secret al-
ance, offensive and defensive, which at the con-
'enient season will open to the Russians the
,oad to Constantinople.
Sixty~six millions of men, doubling every
lalf century, now obey the mandates of the |
Gar, whose will is law, and who leads a peo- |
Die whose passion is conquest. Europe may
we'll tremble at the growth Of a power possess
ID of such resources actuated by such desires,
ed by such ability: but Europe does not COM
rise the whole family of mankind. The great
esigns Of Providence are working out their
accomplishment by the passions of the free
gents to which their execution has been en-
rusted. Turkey will yield; Persia be overrun
" the Muscovite battalions: the original birth
lace of our religion will be rescued by their
evotion and as certainly as the transatlantic
emisphere and the Islands of the Indian Sea
'i be peopled by the self-acting passions of
Western Democracy, will the plain of Asia be
'on to the cross by the resistless arms of East
IN despotism. ."--Paris Cor. Jour. Com

BaS" Mrs. Swisshelm thus discourses in
her Visitor on a new style Of making the
waists Of ladies' dresses =" We saw last
week new style for making the waists
Of dresses. 1t was called the polka
bodice or basque waist Besides being
very neat and tasteful, it is the 'Cathol-
ICON which is to cure one half of the
female diseases which now occupy the
inventive powers of patent medicine
makers. Instead of pressing the waist
into the shape of tunnel, or saw log
with the slabs taken off two sides, it is
cut in graceful curves to fit the natural
form Of the waist. 1t is quite long
coming down to the hips, and whale
boned, so that whatever pressure there
Is, comes upon the ribs and hip bones,
entirely relieving the softer portions OF
the person, whore there is none but the
back bone to proven, lhe intestines from
being crushed"

Good Temper.

There's not cheaper thing on earth.
Nor yet one half so dear;
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth,
Or thousands gained year.
Ii lends the day new delight;
'Tis virtues firmest shield;
And adds more beauty to the night
Than all the stars may yield.
1t maketh poverty content;
To sorrow whispers peace;
1t is gift from heaven sent
For mortals to increase.
1t meets you with II smile at morn;
1t lulls you to rcpose;
A flower from peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.

When threat'ning storm begins
As music mid the tempest loud,
That still its sweet way wins
As springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes this seraph to our side,
This angel TO our home
What may this wondrous spirit be,
What power uhheard before
This charm, this bright divinity
Good temper-nothing more.

That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lift
TO bliss unknown to kings.

breakfasted at the hotel, but did not
take either dinner or supper, saying his
business detained him in another portion

"S'pose we settle that account, Pm

The landlord handed him his bill,
Two weeks board at five dollars, ten
