SouLE's FLIGHT FROM FRANcE.-In n late
number of the Memories of Dumas, which have
been publishing of late in the Paris Presse, a
brief mention is made of the circumstances to
which we are indebted for Mr.. soules emigra-
ton to, and settlement in, the United States. We
translate the paragraph;
In the intimacy of Merry and Barthelemy,
ltwo distinguished French authors,) lived at
this time one Of the principal editors of n ;our,
nal called the Peiioto D,carf Main Ja,sne. J
This editor was named Soule He had been two
months in prison for an article on San DOMINGO.
He did not relish his experience of prison life,
He happened to bear strong resemblance to
Barthelemy, which permitted his using his pass.
port. Barthelemy lent it to him. Soule fed
to London, and thence to the United States,
where he is now the first lawyer in New Or
leans, and makes by his practice one hundred
thousand francs year.

Arthur Spring, when his death warrant was

Arthur Spring, when his death warrant was
read to him on Monday, the I'd inst, not only
charged the commission of the murder of the
two females upon his son, but also charged him
with stealing the money in New York, for which
he (the now convict) was sent to Sing Sing
prison. Upon being asked as to his confession
in regard-to the murder of Rink, he said he had
made the statement to the foreman of the Grand
Jury, which was published in the newspapers,
but that he had done SO to mislead him; that as
he had been falsely charged with two murders,
he thought he might as well confess to a third ;
but that in point Of fact he had never seen Rink,
or been in his store upon any occasion, and that
he knew nothing about the umbrella which was
said to belong to Regain.

HOME.
Though small the word, it hath valued sound,
And bears to every import great
As any which in " johnson" may be found,
Or even in records of the earliest date;
With every fond idea it is crow ned,
Nor can the pride of wealth, the pomp of state,
The summer mornings dawn or evenings gloom,
Yield charms like those of sweet and peaetul Home
Home! the delight Of man in every cline,
The boys dependence and the old mans rcst:
The dream of youth, maturing on with Time,
Viewing the future the present blest.
Home the true place where all good feelings chime.
Where holy Love and Friendship stand confess'd;
Or poor or rich, meath thatch or palace dome,
The heart is there and sauctifies it Home!
What is the Victo1's brow where laurels bloom
The tongue of Eloquence that plaudits win
The vivid Genius flashing to illume,
If the possessor lack the joys that in
Home are found? They're like the marble tomb,
Whose outside beauty hides the gloom within;
Nor shall we find, though the wide world we roam,
One wretch so poor as him without Home.
Hail, sacred Home! the dear fireside of man
The Temple of Devotion where ell bow,
Encircled by lies brilliant rainbow span,
The garden-spot, where flowers the sweetest grow;
The ne plus ultra of Creations plau.
The heaven Of earth for mortals while below;
The oppresseds chief solace,-'neath freedoms DOME
Mans highest pride and glory is bis Home!

THE YANKEE AT A MODERN HOTEL,

Some time ago, very long, brown Down
Easter, attired in one of those costumes
| which are no where to be met with except
on the stage, tall bell-crowned white hat,
short-waisted blue coat, with enormous
pewter buttons, vest as ''yaller" as bar
berry blossom, and pair of corduroys,
whose highest ambition seemed to be to
maintain their ascendency over a pair of
enormous cowbides, that had trodden many
hundred miles of logging paths, 'might
have been seen,' jack-kuife and shingle in
hand, winding his way up Long Wharf, in
the realization of bis life long auticipati ons
Of ''seeing Bosting." At the corner of
Merchants Row his progress was arrested
by the numbering transit of two-story
house on wheels, drawn by half a dozen
yoke of oxen, with the people juside pursu-
ing their usual avocations.
"What on airth is that 'ere ?" he asked
of bystander.
"Oh, nothing replied the "towney,"
''the folks are only moving, that's all
When we move down here, we do it house
and all"
"Je-rusalem! Wall, that beats all natur
Well, cap'n, what's that ere big stun house
over the left ?"
"That's the new custom house. It's
mighty bad location, but there going to
move it next week."
Thunder and molasses /! It'll take all
the oxen in creation to start her''
"Oh, they use elephants for moving such
large bujldiugs.''
''And how many elephants Will it take ?'
"Upwards Of a hundred"
The Yankee cut deep cash ju bis sbiugle,
and walked on.
He next enquired for the Adams House,
for he had ''hearn teJl'' of that, and was
determined to progress du,ing juvenility,
aware of the impossibility of doing so at
more advanced age
He soon found the s'tavern," and the
'deacon," aud ordered accommo odations,
literally charming the expenses" !" Having
"slicked up' a little, he witnessed, with
some amazement, the operations of a SER
want upon the going, simply remarking, that
he "knowed n hat sheet Tightening was, but
this was the first time, he'd ever heard of
sheet thunder" He followed the crowd into
the djuiug hall and was ushered to a seat,
where he esconsed himself, tucking his towel
under his chin with sort of desperation, as
if he were going to be shaved or scraped.
The sight of the covered dishes added to
his amazement. ''Ded darn it ~ he ex-
claimed, "ef l ever heard of cookin' on
the table, but here they've gone and sot
tin kitchens all over the lot Whar's the
fire to come from that's what I'd like to
know"
He got along with bis soup very well, and
was pausiug for breath before he finished it
when waiter snatched bis plate away, and
was ropuing off with it.
"He'o, you sir!' vociferated the Yam
kee, 81 see you. Fetch that 'ere back
quicker n lightnin', or you II have your
head punched
His plate was returned, and he finished
his soup with dignity. After waiting mo-
ment, he raised his voice again, and sum-
moned the offending waiter sternly.
