Tie DEAD.-How seldom do we thinl
OF the dead! Although,we sis arount {
the same hearth where they once sat
and read from the same volumes they
perused, yet we seldom think of them
oh, how the heart throbs with wild and
uncomfortable emotion as we stand be-
side The dying friend VIC dearly love
We wildly strive, but all in vain, to pro-
long the precious life, we follow in the
deepest anguish down the dark flowing
river; the spirit Of loved ones passes on
ward alone, and we are left to linecr on
the shores Of time. We think, as we
behold the inanimate form consigned to
the cold, damp grave, and hear the
earth rattle over it, We will never forget
the life scenes of the departed-that
their memory will always remain fresh
in our hearts, and almost wonder that
the busy multitude can move so briskly
around us. But the sun shines brightly
as ever on the new made grave. Ma
turc looks as gay and smiling as ever
and the birds sing as merrily as before.
Again we mingle with the busy, jost-
ling throng. Weeks and months roll on |
we visit the grave less frequently,
and gradually cease to think of the lost
ones, save when some voice or incident
Of bygone days recalls them to our mem
Dry. The feelings of bitter anguish and
bereavement are soon worn off by accu-
nulating cares and pleasures Of life.
Thus We, in turns must ere long pass
away and be forgotten. Such is human
ife.

SENTENCE OF A MISUNDERSTANDING,
Hart, in sentencing the murderer Dick
at Dayton, Ohio, short time ago, made
use ofthe following language. In terri
bic severity, it almost equals the figures
used by Mr.. Webster, in his famous
speech on the trial Of the Growing
shields, at Salem, Massachusetts many
years ago, for the murder of White.
"What bloody devil seized upon your
human nature, God knows; but this is
certain, that issuing from your lurking
place, you fell upon an old &c Genceless
woman, dragged her perhaps from the
wagon, and with terrible force beat her
grey hairs, her face, and her skull into
mere mass; that you fell upon her son.

his young love of life, he fled upon the

PoTrRt.-Prentice thus eloqucntly
answers the question-sWhati is poetry:'
A smile, a tear, glory, a longing af.
ter the things Of eternity! It lives in
all created existence, in man and every
object that surrounds him. There is
poetry in the gentle influence oe love
and affection, in the quiet broodings of
the soul over the memory Of early years,
and in the Thoughts of that glory that
chains our spirits to the gates of para
disc. There is poetry, too, in the har-
monies of nature. 1t glitters in the
wave, the rainbow, the lightning and
stars,-its cadence is heard in thunder
and cataract-its softer tones go sweet
ly up from the thousand voiced harps Of
the wind, the riyulet, and forest-and
the cloud and sky go floating over us,
to the music of its melodies. There's
not a moonlight ray that comes down
upon the stream or hill-not a breeze.
calling from its blue air, thrown to the
birds of the summer valleys, or sounding
through the midnight rains, its low and
mournful dirge over the perishing flow
ers OF spring; not cloud, bathing. Itself
like an angel vision, in the rosebushes
Of autumn twilight, nor rock, glowing
in the yellow starlight, as if dreaming Of
the Eden land, but is full of the beauti-
[ul influence Of poetry. It is the soul
'f being. The earth and Heaven are
luickened by its spirit-and the great
ieep, in tempest and in calm, are but its
'ccent and mysterious workings.

THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Our Own Correspondent
LONDON Friday, May 10, 1854.
A year has fully elapsed from the time that the
Russian Emperor began TO make serious preparations
for war for ten months his army has been IN the
PriDcpalites which he occupied partially in time OF
peace without declaring war. Since the end OF
October war has really been waged, and yet the po-
stion of the armies s the same as at the beginning
About thirty thousand men have already lost their
lives by the sword, the diseases and privations Of
war, and still no important battle has been fought,
and no gre at srategcsl plan has been carried out
either side. Russians and Turks keep their posi-
tons, for, if Prince Gorchakof has occupied and
Omer Pasha evacuated the DObrodja, Lesser Walla
CHA has, on the other hand, been abandoned by the
Russians, and the neutrality Of Servia is now firmly
established. Two months have likewise nearly
elapsed since the Anglo French declaration OF war;
the largest fleets Esrope has ever seen float in the
Black Sea and in the Baltic. Gallipo and Rodosto
are garrisoned by French armies and Scusar by the
English, but action has as yet been fought though
England has already managed to expend ten millions
sterling on preparations, and Turkey has exhausted
her treasury and is unable to pay the arrears
due TO her European and Asatic armies. What VIII
