TmE DUKE OF alba AN APoLoGIsT

from NJ. Gaillardet's letter Of he LIST
instant, in yesterdays Courier des

press, that the Duke of Alba (the
-brother-in-law Of the French Express)
has made the nysendc houorable to
Mr.. Neville Soale, the son Of our
minister to Spain, for the gross i'm
per,inence Of which he was recently
guilty at q public ball in Madrid
g At first the Duke refused to con-
sent to give redress in either way,
upon the plausible pretext that his
adversary was in reality urging on a
political quarrel. But the story is
now that public opinion having de-
elared itself unanimously against him

nowncd for the chiyalrous respect
which it has always paid to beauty.
gracefully apologising for the offence
complained Of For doing this he
deserves credit, but tic need of GAL
lamry is nonethe less due to Neville
Soule whom this adventure has made

Some years after this incident. we were
riding through the district where this scene
occurred, and being anxious to see our old
chum, we called to visit him. As We drove
up to the yard, two rosy boys, with very big
headsan very white hair were playing around
the deor-siep.t Asunburned man was water
ing pair of horses at trough. and bade us
good day without recognition.

'I'll stay till evening, Harry, not a mo-

his parlor, where he told me that his trick
was forgiven by the old man that Katrine
had married Blanche's former lover and
that he was worth snug competency, the
old man having died from eating an inordinate
quantity of newly made sour krout, which
had fermented in his stomach. We babe

pleasure of Commodus should be known
respecting the Christians. Itwas nos very
long ere, wearied with the hardships of the
camp, he returned to his capital, and his
first order was, that all Christians should
be released and restored to their privileges
as Roman citizens. In his train came the
young Lucius; he had found leisure, amid
all the excitement Of glory and the hard
ships Of his campaign, to study the precious
gift of his betrothed at first for love of
her, and afterwards from wish to know
the truth. So, when their nuptials, de-
layed awhile by the death of Flavius Tor
quatus, were at last solemnized, Berenlce
had the deep happiness of knowing that Sc
husband Af her choice sbsred the s,4e taSth4
and pure hope of her own spirit. TIey
remained not long in Rome; the fobies
and cruelties of Commodus rendered isdis-
tasteful to them; and although L bcius
stood high in his favor, as he was veB ca
pricious, they knew not how long it blight
remain in their own power to depart, or to
abide in safety. They, therefore, bade
adieu without sigh, to the pomp and lux
uries of the capital, and embarked for lit
tie island in the northwest of Europe with
out the range of civilization, where they
knew they should enjoy safety and freedom.
Berenice was perfectly happy; she gave
not one regret to the magnifcence she had
abandoned, for Lucius was with her; and
as she stepped into the boat, trembling,
caressing girl clung to her, and soft voice
whispered in her ear, Ny sister; whittier

The Word Fare we'll.
By ALICE ACTON.

Farewell, said youthful lover, as he press
ed his lips to the white brow Of beautiful
maiden; for it had been decreed that he must
go far hence--4hat he must win a name, and
Gil with shining gold his empty purse, ere he
might call that spotless one his bride.
Farewell, said an old man with snowy
locks and furrowed brow, as fondly to his
bosom he pressed his children's little ones
for he was starting his :T:.-:.-.
land frapa. Eaaepf E1d ftg han Of wealth, as his
vast possessions few from his grasp. like a
meteor from the brow of night.
Farewell, said little child, as she folded
the white wings Of her dead dove, and laid
it down within tiny grave which her own
hand had made, beneath a rose tree.
Farewell said noble youth, as he left his
native land TO gaze upon the grandeur of
distant nations
Farewell, said a broken hearted widow. as
she plumed her spirit-wingS for heaven.
Farewell, said daring warrior, as he
pressed on to the battle field.
Farewell, said stricken mother, as she
closed the eyes of her sweet darling and
pressed one long, last kiss upon its baby
brow, then laid it in the silent churchyard.
What means that word farewell, blending
in harmony, sweetness and melancholy p

1eyes grow dim, and rosy cheeks rival The
| lily's whiteness as this tnomentous word falls
from the lips Of some long-cherished one |?
Alas it tells to the lone heart, a tale of
weary years. while a loved one is toiling in
distant land-of vacant chair in the old
mans dwelling-of poverty, and mighty
struggles with the cold word-of childhood,
weeping at its first sorrow-of leaving home
and country to seek more happiness, more
Iioy-of blighted hopes and broken vows-of
beauty fed from earth, while a lonely mour-
ner waters tiny grave with burning tears.
All! farewell is the language Of earth.
In the bright, glad morning. l have gazed
upon beauteous flower, but ere the even
tide it passed away forever. In the calm
hours of night, my spirits have been lnlled
by some bright dream, but with the dark,
still night the ,ision has departed.
Methinks that thus il is in life. In youths

our fond embrace, but ere we are aware

Bright, gorgeously bright, are the dreams
with which we have Gecked the future, bul

their reality, we behold that, vision-like, they
have departed.
Partings and farewells cast their shadow
all along Iife's pathway, but they tell US
that there is land,
Where farewell tears no more are shed
Upon its changeless shore;
That there the holy ones who meet,
Shall parted be no more.
Oh! viii it not be very sweet,
When all the ties now riven,
Shall be united once again,
Within the gates of Heaven?

And its white sinless throng;
And sometimes my strange heart asplres,
To sing an angels song.

An erring child dwell;
But when reach that better home,
Where none can say farewell.
