description of the celebrated Italian
Patriot
Mazzini, who, though prescribed and
exlled, is still the the terror of the Ital-
ian despots, is in Chelsea, not far from
Kossuth's residence. He is also living
in quiet way, rather avoids society,
since he is surrounded by the secret
spies of Naples aud Austria He works
inccssantly, however, and although so
far of, Italy is ripening for revolution
under the potency Of his ardent brain
In appearance he is tho very opposite of
kossuth His head is smaller, but his
forehead is high and symmetrical his
large black eyes burn with the light of
an unextinguishable enthusiasm, and
when he speaks, the rapid play of the
muscles Of his mouth expresses the in
tcnsity Of his nature His complexion
is pale olive, almost sallow, his hair
black, and his short heard aud mousiache
slightly tinted with grey. He has a
worn appearance, as if exhausted by in.

Of Italy with an enthusiasm and faith

Round the mansion where he lay;
And autumnal voices, calling,
Warned the summers pride away;

Breaking with ccascless motion,
Like the lcctiug hopes Of man.
" S'U IHre" o, strong and glorious
We're those prophetic words Of cheer;
For whether in truth victorious,
Greatness hath its worship here,
Patriot power its high ovation,
Eloquencc its lofty birth;

All in vain the hcaler's skill,
Light in that deep eye was paling,
And that mighty heart grew still
Yet the soul its God adorng,
Clad in armor, firm and bright,
Der the body's ruin soaring,
Mingled with the Infinite.
Where he sleeps, that man of glory,

But the love that deepest listened
Caught such balm as Heaven can give
For an angels pinion glistcncd

My DEAR FRiENp,--Writing to YOU

which have taken place within the last
half Of the century just past | rcmcm-
Der very well when men were considered
the lords of creation, when all the Offices
of honor and profit were in their hands
! Women were at that time held in sub
lection, by their naughty opprcssors and
woman's rights we're then almost un-
known Now, thank Heaven all this
is reversed. Instead Of lords, we have
ladies Of creation.
Our navies do not now consis; of Mci,
of war--they are all acomea of war
Now, happily,a woman occupies our pres
idential chair, while our halls of Con
gress are filled with body of intelligent
and influential females, from all parts of
the country Formerly, we had profes-
sioual mcn--now We have professional
women,
But without farther preface, let me
give you little sketch of Washington.

body is praising the administration of
Hon. Mrs Betscy Jones, who has Just

ARE THE PLANETS INHABITED p
We should be blinded with the glare,
and burnt up if transported into McrA
curry, where the sun acts as If seven
times hotter than on the earth, and we
should shivcr in the dark, and BE- fro
zen to death if removed to Uranus,
where the sun is three times colder
than he is felt to be by us. To pass
from Uranus TO Mercury, would be to
undergo in the latter exposure to a tenn
pcraturc some two thousand times

former, whilst on this earth the range

Ger than an equatorial noon, continued
for whole fortnight, and the keenest
severity Of frost far exceeding that Of

would seem, then, that though all clse
were equal, the variation in amount
Of light and heat, would neccssitatc
the manifestation of non terrestrial
life upon the sun, and the spheres
which accompany the earth in its rev.
olutions around it. All else, however,
is not equal. The intensity Of gravity
at the surfaces Of the different heaven.
ly bodies differs enormously. At the
sun it Is nearly twcnty-eight times
greater than at the earth. An ordi-
nary man, for example, wonld not only
be unable to sustain his own weight on
the sun, but would be literally crushed
