me ON seeing him was, the singular ingenuity
displayed by the French and English artists
WHO have undertaken to render his features
familiar to the European public, in making
their portraits so very unlike the original.
Any ofthom that have Come under my notice
would serve just as well for memorials of the
Emperor of China, or the Czar Nicholas, as of
Omcr Pacha. But indcpcndtly of the false inn
prcSsons which they have left on my mind,
must confess that found it somewhat diff
cult to realize the idea that was actually in
the presence of the rcdoubtablc chief whose

beard beneath it, and you might fancy at first

more wallikc exploit than running down

approach to bonhommic, though without the
smallest want of dignity.-0n a longer ac-
quaintancc you discover that the outlines of
his face bear the impression of llerculcan en-
orgy, and even of audacity, and there is a
massvcncss about the wrinkles even that
nothing save a fierce struggle with time could
have produced. Ifthcrc be any truth in phrc-
nology, one would say that his whole intel
lcct was lodged in his forehead. In moments
ofcXcitement, when his eyes fash under the
cover of his large eyebrows. as they sometimes
do, yet in ordinary conversation, his appear

any mans ! ever saw. His manncris that of

KALAFAT.-Kalafat, of which so much has
been said lately, is town of 1000 houses.
It's surrounded with walls, has quarantine,
a town hall, custom house, three churches
ard a cavalry barracks. 1t is the chief place
of sub administrator district. The re-
doubts by the Turks are of great extent and
very strong. They are partly raised on two
hills in the plain Of Kalafat, about mile
distant from each other, and have numerous
artillery. All the ncighboring country is
commanded by these hills in such way that
no approach to the Danube can be made. In
1928 these hills were occupied and fortified
by the Russians. Between Widdin and Kali
aft the Danube is less than mile wide, and
the course of it is very rapid. The island in
which the Turks arc fortified is situat, d near
the left bank; tits partly covered with wood,
and is defended by strong entertainments in

mad-house at Zurich, who was rather aillict-
cd by imbccity than by madness, was al
lowed his liberty, which he never misuscd
His happiness was confined solely to ringing
the bells of the parish church. But when he
grew old, whether he was really less capable
of filing this august function, or whether the
icalouscs and intrgucs that reign in rcp,b-
lies and penetrate even their hospitals the poor
creature was deprived of his employment.
This stroke plunged him into the utmost dcs-
pair, but without making any complaint he
sought the master of the great works, and said
to him, with that sublime tranquility which
is inspired by determined resolution: 81

mined to rccompcnsc the desire of being use

Again it was winter and again Maggie was
with Martha. Every few weeks my solitude
was enlivencd by letter from hcr-chcerfu,
gay, lively, with descriptions of scenes she
visited, and individuals whom she met and
mingled with. But it would be tedious to
read them all and will pass them over, till
mid.wintcr when this missive came to me.
DEAR Bel The rain is falling without
patter, rattcr-diip, drip-.just, for all the
world, like spring rain falling upon the old
porch roofat home. There is something chat
ty and confidential in the sound; and inspired
by it, l have taken up my pen to gossip with
you. Yesterday morning at Church, l OBJ
served stranger in Mr.. BIS rev, (thc one
next to our own.) 1t is no uncommon thing
to see stranger at Church in the City, but
this was an uncommon stranger. The first
glance had ofhis face interested me; and the
morel observe. him, the more deep become the
interest with which regarded him. love
to study the human face, Bel. | love to look
into ones soul through their eyes. love to
read ones past life in the curves about the
mouth. In tho eyes of this stranger | saw a
sad, dark heart-I don't mean black, wick
"a hcart-but heart darkly shadowcd His
mouth expressed scorn and contempt and as
looked, wondered if it were possible for a
gentle, sweet, and loving smile to linger about
it.
When we came out of Church he was stand

Once knew Il gentle angel
Bearing meek this mortal frame,
And called her sI.conorl'-
JOY AMI music in her name.
She was fair as summer morning
Brighter than that morning. sun-
Miller than the stars Of beauty,
Shining when the day is done.
Round her forehead raven trcSscs
Bllckcr than the gloomy night,
Waved on brow of alahaster,
Clearer than the marble white.
In her eyes were speaking shadows,
Lofty thoughts alone can make;
Shadows, like those thrown by mountains.
Ocra summers placid Lake.
And her form was slight and graceful
AS the bending, dropping fern;
Or the weeping willow waving
DER silent sleeping urn.
And her converse few and simple,
AS a '.drapcry Grccian-wrought,"
Showed the clear symmctric outline
OF her deep and quiet thought.
Each ono marvcllcd at her beauty;
At body and soul
Joined in loneliness unrivallcd-
Blended in one perfect whole.
Twas summer morn-wc found her dying
Dying as the evening star,
Going down in gentle beauty,
AS the light seen from aiar.
When the evening birds were singing,
Mid the woodland listing trees
When the echoes came SO sweetly,
On the gentle mourning breeze.
I.conora, with the seraphs-
In the angel world on high
Sang the words Of joy and gladness;
Music in the upper sky.
