ga STATUE OF surprising merit Its power and
pathos are independent OF time, place, and condl.
ton. The charm and power OF the statue con.
sists in the amazing truth with which the two
great elements OF. humanity and mortality are de-
lineated. The artist gives US all the palhos and
the tragedy of death without iis ghastliness and
horror. We feel ourselves in the presence OF thnl
awful Power before whose icy scepre all mortal
distinctions are evelled. No statue was ever more
marked by simplicity. Nothing has been done
for effect No vulgar applause IS courted, and
the decency and dignity OF truth are scrupulousiy
observed n-Haliara's Sin Months I'm Hafy.
"A wonderful production of art. Its simplicity
is such that il does not strike at first; the admira
ton comes afterward, and in q tide sufficiently
deep and strong. II is the moment of exhaustion,
Of faintness, of death."-lHrs. EHs.
This statue is indissolubly associated with
Byron's immortal stanza
see before me the Gladiator lie
He leans upon his hand-his manly brow
Consents to death, but conquers agony,
And his droopd head sinks gradually low
And through his side the last drops, ebbing
slow
From, The red CASH fall heavy, one by one,
Like the first of thunder.shower; and now
The arena swims around him--he is gone,
Ere ceased the inhuman shout which haipd the
wretch who won.
He heard il, but he needed not-his eyes
Were with his heart, and that was far away;
He reck'd not of the life he lost nor prize,
Blu. where his rude hut by the Danube lay
There were his young barbarians all at play,
There was their Dacan mother--he their sire
Butcher 10 make Roman holiday
All this rush'd with his blood. Shall he expire,
And unavengeda Arise! we Goths, and glut
your ire

dence before the coroner that the sixth instant,
Justice Reaver sent the woman 10 the Jail, from
Georgetown, on the ground that she was insane,
and that il was, therefore, dangerous for her to go
at large; but il was shown that she was sick, and
Pin dying condition when she was received at the
prison. This being the case, and she not being
able 10 walk ct the time, il impossible for her
"to 20 at large" and hence she could not have
been dangerous, though the justice thought so,
no doubt honestly, though mistakenly.
The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with
the facts.
This is the fourth death and inquest in the Jail

A street Contrast.--No body can fail TO ad-
mire the trianguarly enclosed plat OF ground
skirtng Pennsylvania avenue, between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets; sodded and planted with
shrubbery; an oasis refreshing in contrast with
the structures of bricks and mortar, and the shah
by exterior Of the National theatre. Beauty is
by contrast; and this fact seems to be so firmly
fixed in the minds Of jewellers and workers in the
vicinity, that they have erected, on the E street
side, miniture pyramids of oyster shells, rough
stone, and bricks, and diversified the scene with
two old hogsheads; one of them in the condition
Of falling 10 pieces. Together with the muddy
condition OF the street, we have an exhibition OF
ugliness which serves to render more attractive
the aforesaid triangular space, enclosed with iron
ratings. We would suggest 10 the Commissioner
of Public Buildings, that he continue 10 keep the
gate locked, for, once opened, the grass would
doubtless be defaced by deposites of the rough

The POor.-"A Friend Of the Poor" suggests
that the Corporate Authorities of Washington
open an establishment for the purpose of supply
ing the destitute with soup. He says there are
many sufferers who have 100 much selfrespect 10
go from door to door TO ask aims, but who would
avail themselves Of the benefit of such prov-
sion. The suggestion is at least worthy Of con-
sideration, if not Of adoption.
We believe that there is as little, il not less, suf
fering here among the poor as in any other city Of
the Union, with an equal number Of inhabitants
The Corporate Authorities have never been dere-
ict in making provision for this unfortunate class
Of our community, and but recently one thousand
dollars were appropriated by them TO purchase
frewood for The necessitous. When the cries OF
the poor reach the ears of our people the heart is
touched with sympathy, and the hand extended in
relief We are aware of numerous acts OF this
character, which, in an age sometimes marked as
selfish, shed the ustre Of charity on the generous
givers, who are "blessed in the deed"
As appropriate to this subject, our correspon,
dent having suggested the propreiy OF establish
ing soup-house in this city, we copy the fol-
lowing from the Richmond Dispatch of Thursday;
"The Relief House. on Seventeenth street, is
now furnishing over two hundred persons with
good healthy food twice day The people re-
ceive soup and roast or boiled beef and bread In
the morning and beef and turnips, or pork and
beans or lamb and veal, with a sufiiclency OF
bread in the afternoon. The expenses do not ex-
coed sixteen dollars per day, we are told, aud We
have reasons 10 believe that they will fall short OF
that amount"

Lines to


"AssKyr, But NOT yoEoor1.S."
Before knew those feeling words
Which now methinks hear thee say,
Many saddening, glosm my thoughts.
Upon my mind their weight did lay.
unused in pensive solitude,
And in my spirits hailUwed tone
There came u thought that made me sigh
As thus l sat and mused alone.
1t was not grief that made me sad,
Or caused silent tear to now,
1t was b~cause l saw thee not,
And could not then thy presence know.
But now these thoughts no longer rise.
Nor care nor grief with solemn train
Float " rr my soul their host Of fears,
But all is JOY and bliss again.
All that see around me tells,
As from Natures Iningling choirs,
To Cherish, dear, within M yet
The sympathy my soul des res.
The stars that shine in yonier skies
Draw influence from each other,
Though sundered far, yet each TO each
Is as brother unto brother
o tits sweet to know, hear, and feel
That kindred spirits linSvr near,
To live in union holy, sweet,
With those on earth they hold most dear.
To know that in my lonely hours,
When busy SCENES arc all ufown,
That in anoiher's breast there live
Feelings which echo to my own.
l thank thre, then, fJr those sweet lines,
Ab-y fill NE with a calm delight,
Ard tail like richest muse here
Upon my ming ear to night. CARL
