A CHILD.
BY ALEXANDER SMITH.

@ thou bright thing, fresh from the hand of
God;
The motions of thy dancing limbs are
swayed
By the unceasing music Of thy being!
Nearer seem to God when looking OH thee.
'Tis ages since he made his youngest star,
His hand was on thee as 'twere yesterday.
Thou later revelation! Silver stream,
Breaking with laughter from The lake divine.
Whence all things flow! o brig mt and
singing babe!
What wilt thou be hereafter!

After careful examination Of your "Amer-

A BEAuTIFu,. .THNG.-We suggested through
the columns. of the HERALD the other day, in
some passing remarks upon Jullen's concerts,
the appropriateness of general rising of the
audience on.the striking up OF 90 Hail Columbia"
On Thursday evening the numerous, intelli-
gent, and patriotic auditory at Jullien's, re-
sponded to this suggestion by rising en- masse
when Hail Columbia" was introduced, and
we put the example upon record as worthy of
emulation far and near. 1t was thrilling in
cident-a beautiful thing 1t reminded us of
that bit of proverbial philosophy Of old King
Solomon, that Words fifty spoken are like
apples Of gold in pictures of silver" This tri-
butte at Jullien's was. in fact, unanimous reso-
luton in favor of the Union, including the con-
stitution and the laws of the land ; Or if there
were few scattering "squatters " on account
of the higher law, woman's rights, atheism
and green squashes, they were invisible in the
general mass. Let them squat.

THE PoPE's NuNcIo AND PADRE GAvAzN-
We publish to-day, from the Milwaukee wis
consin) Sentinel. singing reply to the late
attacks, in various Western newspapers, upon
Monsignor Bedini the Pope's Nuncio, based upon
a late published lecture of Father Gavazzi. We
gave this lecture place in our columns, and
ourreaders will remember that Gavazzi therein
charges the inhuman execution of one Ugo
Bassi, an Italian republican, upon Bedini. In
this reply in defence of Bedini, which we pub
lish to-day, such catalogue of diabolical afro
cities is arrayed against Garibaldi, Gavazzi,
and the Roman republicans of 1S4s-49 as
staggers belief Notwithstanding the respectable
cotemporaneous evidence adduced in proof
Can it be that the republicans of Rome were
guilty of such atrocious barbarities as are here
arrayed against them? We know not, but
having given hearing to Gavazzis indict-
ment we admit the defence of the other side
into our columns We leave the controversy
to the parties themselves.
