clasped them to his bosom. "God bless YOU
for this Oh, dreamed not that YOU had
such hearts"
For long time the old man gazed on his
boys in silence; while tears of love and
gratitude rolled down his cheeks, and his
face was lighted up with the most Joyous
holy pride.
Long before daylight, Philip mounted the

and early in the forenoon the officers of ius-
tlce had the two wounded men in charge.
while the body of the third was removed
They were recognized by the officers as Grim
inals of notoriety; but this was their last
adventure, for the justice they had so long
outraged fell upon them and stopped them in
their career.

BOILING Eggs, AND MAKING TEA ON HIGH

plateau OF Erzeroum, are unhealthy and pes

BELL SMITH.v--Who is Bell Smith, is
a question repeatedly asked. She is an Amer
lean woman from the West, now residing in
Paris and, AZ her Letters show, a dashing,
lively, independent, original writer, making no
Metension to oracular wisdom, Indifferent to
ordinary formulas, and never hesitating at
good -natured caricature, when it will serve,
better then precise and fastidious statement to
convey a true impression. For it is q fact, that
such statement not unfrequently fails to pro-
duce any impression of on event or scene, when
a little caricature would compel attention to it.
A writer in Philadelphia paper, (the name
of which we have forgotten awarding her the
credit Of yivacity and piquancy, undertakes
to criticise with exemplary sobriety some Of
her gay sketches, on the ground that they do
great injustice to Paris, and he even goes into
a serious vindication of the virtues Of Partisan
landlords, nurses maids, and hackmen, against
the comical abuse Of Bell Smith. We may
expect to sec next solemn sermon on the
levities Of Don Quixote and Diedrich Knick-
erbocker.

These are works Of unusual merit and Mt.
tractiveness. The preacher is Bourdaioue, and
this work, besides its story Of Court morals and
intrigues, has for its end the discussion of pull
pit eloquence. OF course, the principals Of his
first work are Bourdaloue, Fenelon, Bossuet,
and Claude, and the pivof of the book is the
sermon the eloquent Bourdaloue is to preach
before the great King. There are few readers
who while they are interested by the novelty
Of the scenes drawn by a master hand, will not
be instructed into better knowledge Of all
those great men and great events which mark
cd the age Of Louis ie Grand, and his automa-
ton predecessor, Louis XIV. Here are drawn
in living life the personages who made that
ago Of France to be distinguished as it's golden
age-Fenelon, Bourdaloue, Louis XVI Bossuet,
Madame de Montespan, Claude Of Clarendon,
Pere le Chaise Cotin, and others Of that reign
and Of the Jesuits and their victims; the Acad.
envy and its philosophers oltsire, Diderot,
D'Alembert; the mobiles and the women the
saints, and the strange scenes Of those days at
Court and amid the Businesses Of the Huguenots

THE sUHMER WOOD,
BY MRS. \. JEssup EAMRs.

In tho green coisters Of the Summer Wood
sit, and muse on this serenest morning;
Around and through the gorgeous solitude
And overhead, wild Laurel wreaths adjoining
The branching trees The Hemlock's fringy fingers
Weave ono vast netting oer my dreamy head,
The leafy boughs hold many wildwood singer
The tssselated aoor is gaily spread
With scarlet berries the wild star MOSES,
As with a carpet clothe the yerdurous ground
The Oaks deep emerald with tho gray Beach crosses,
And twinkling green lights simmer all around
o, Summer Woods. 70 bring unto the Earth
Such ysrnal glory; and in your cool shadow
Float whispering wood notes Of rejoicing mrth,
Red Oriole and the bright Jack Of the meadow
Thanks for the Woods . pure perpetual blessing
Broathes through the shelter Of the leafy trees
Their swinging arms thousand shrubs caressng,
Whose wilding odors load the morning breeze
Yes. here, clasped to the Holy Heart of Nature,
/ feel her Spirit thrilling through my own;
And in the lessons OF this august Teacher
Ilearn the goodness Of the All-Wise One!
Are 20 not sacred hold unto the MUSES.
Ofsculpturo, painting poetry, and song
For each 20 have your own transcendent uses,
And tsnderest meanings unto 70 belong.
Artist and Minstrel, Bard and Poet stand
Meath those cool skyghts Of transparent foliage.
And sunbar'd boughs, and shaded columns grand
And, here o. Joy no feverish world knowledge
Telleth Of sorrow, suffering, and strife;
But the still wood scene wakens sweetest fances
Brings radiant glimpses Of fair Eden Life,
In which are brcathed thousand heart romances
What marvel that the Woods in ages olden
We're hallowed by the bright mythology"
OF other days. That Grccia's poesy golden
localized them brightly, tenderlyl
The dwelling place Of wild faun, fay, and nymph;
Of hamadryad satyr, elf, and fairy;
The trysting spot where greenwood sprite and syph
We're wont within the magic ring to tarry?
What marvel that or memories are taken
Into the circle of the Mighty Past
That on our lips the lays Of Shakespeare waken
And Millions spell its magic o'cr us cast
All! well deem great artist souls were haunted
BY the vast images Of Nature, till
Their dreams took substance In . realm enchanted
And Art arose with warm creative will,
And reproduced pillar, and arch, and column,
OF those first Temples" where religion came
To worship truly the Great Spirit solemn.
And rear spotless Altar to His name.
And thus did artists Of the oldcn ages
Immortalize their momory Of the Woods
In form, and color and on poet-pages,
Preserve the grandeur Of these solitudes

THE RESOLUTION or THANKS TO CAPTAIN IN
GRAHAM


The organ " thinks that Congress ought
not only to thank Captain Ingraham for his
,gallantry, but endorse the conduct Of the Ad-
ministration in the Rosetta affair, and the prin-
ciples set forth in the Rosetta Letter. 1t would
puzzle committee to define these principles
Some of the assumptions Of the Letter are
doubtful, some Of its arguments inconclusiye.
Let MS have no wholesale endorsement Of such
document II tho Letter is to be passed upon,
let the resolution be referred back to the com
mittee, with instructions to present synopsis
Of the Principles maintained in il, 80 that mem
bers may vote intelligently and with clear
discrimination.
The articles in the. 9organ," like some Of the
speeches Of members, assume that the whole
world is looking at US, just now, watching with
anxiety for the verdict of the American Con-
gress in this Rosetta affair." 1t is an epoch in
the history Of the world. The Eastern Cues
ton sinks into insignifcance, compared with
it. The letter Of the American Secretary of
State quite threw into the shade the protocols of
the four great Powers. Austria was stunned
Turkey forgot her danger in her admiration
Russia suspended her march, to gaze upon the
flight Of the American eagle! One Of the
most patriotic orators, declaiming in the House
in favor Of the resolutions, had no doubt that
their passage would quicken the war feeling
in England, breathe new spirit into the Ian
gushing English Ministry, and bring back
Lord Palmerston to power
Well, next to being great in fact, is being
great in our own conceit. As the fate of Eu-
rope seems to hang upon the passage Of vote
Of thanks to Captain Ingraham, we submit
whether it DO right to delay the matter any
longer.

THOMAS H. SHREvE.-Onr readers have
been apprisee of the death Of THOMAS H.
SHREvE one of the editors of the Louisville
Journal. He was man Of fine literary tastes,
polished essayist, and a vigorous political
writer. In our earlier manhood we were in
the habit Of daily intercourse with him, and
cherish now the most pleasing recollections Of
his brilliant social qualities, his genial and hui
name sentiments and his unassuming integrity.
He dies in the prime Of life, and leaves va
cant seat in the circle Of his friends, which
viii be forever consecrated to his memory.
