cial powers of that court, except their needless
following the decisions of English admiralty
courts! Would not a little reading of the many
questions which, for centuries, have filed the
old German federal courts, have been more
usefulf Oh, but neither our judges nor our
lawyers read German!
Has 1t never occurred to you, Mr.. Editor,
that our Revolution was an anti English rebel
lion, and that our institutions are if they are
anything, protests against English liberty /"
and English institutions?u Wherein does
tho excellence of our institutions lie-in the
parts which we copied from England, or in
those in which we did not? Is il not self
cOntradicting term to talk of .that form of
Government which George Washington found
cd, " and, in the same breath, talk of an I" Eng
lish tendency" towards it By the by, will
some erudite historian furnish us with Wash
ington's form Of Government
Do not understand me as deprecating the
reading of English law or English books-no,
that would indeed be wrong. But do under
stand me as opposing one sided reading and
making the English Government our model.
Our Government was constructed, as the de-
bates prove, by taking into consideration the
whole range OF governmental experience; and
it is for that reason, and that alone, that the
United States Constitution stands 30 proudly as
VIC iuonuuici'e VI our ago G'lu cOlieSteU WIS

The trainers of that instrument were no copy
ists, with the prejudices of the mother country
to lead them astray. She had boldly broke
the shell of the egg, and stood up in worlds
broad daylight, with no part Of the shell stick
ing to them.
Nationalities and races are but too apt to
look for good only within themselves, and to look
down upon other nationalities and races with
dsdain. The Spanish used to strut the public
stage the proudest, but they have handed over
their parts to the still prouder English.
Do not think that am about to fall into the
same error with the Germans. No. do but
desire to say few Il trust they will be deemed
humble enough) words, with view to remind
the iberal-minded men of America that it does
hurt a reflective German, to see in our papers
and magazines, the many evidences that Eng
land, and England only is looked to as the
cradle of the United States; and that from
mere laziness to reflect, they reject the history
the lessons, the deep humanity, and the great
learning of nation, whose humble pride it il
to DO tho granary of a worlds knowledge.

Dance on, yo slaves ay, take your sport;
All times are one to such as Won

All times one to such you"
Akin to these Tyrtaean stanzas, uniting FEM
mime pathos with masculine vigor, are " Pro-
test from Italy" and "Whit-Sunday in the
Church" The animus of the entire volume is
the Democracy of Christianity 1t has the
deeply. earneet tone of one whose utterances are
from the heart
We can only find place in this notice for a
few of the striking and felicitous passages in
the volume before us. There is description
of the writer's introduction to the orange
groves of Villa Massimo, at twilight, and the
song of the nightingale at twilight:
-"Virgin flowers
They filed the air with incense gathered up
For the pale vesper of the evening star,
Nor failed the rite of meet antiphony-
felt the silence holy, till note
Fell as a sound of ravshment from heaven
Fell as a STIR fills trailing round for light"
The pictures in the poem just quoted, 'of the
Christian Priest and the Jew, at Rome, are very
stalking.

With sturdy limbs fed fat in ideness,
Whose hands hate labor his brain hates thought,
There stretched for aims. that busy with deceit,
Who trails from door to door his beggary,
Devoutest praying where the housewives fair"
-" Roll back thy chariot wheels
Even to the Ghetto of the hated Jew.
In his poor synagoguos simplicity
Faith enters not in Fancy's masquerade,
Acquired for religious rcvelry.
His Rabbi nothing adds nor takes away,
Nothing assumes of mystic right or power,
BIT gives the ancient, venerable word,
With cautious lips and emphasis devout,
Intent on reading as his fathers ready
As if believing ii, not he should teach
He has the oracles that Jesus loved,
Though suffering still Traditions jealous hand
To bind too closely DER the face of Truth

When that serene One smilimgly looks through,

"And that high suffering which dread,

"My children living flowers shall como

And bid the blushing growths of Spring

Shall rest in emblems of her own;

A word as to the author. Rumor cOrrObo-
rates the internal evidence afforded by the book
ITSELF that its writer is the wife OF highly dis
tinguished professional gentleman and philan-

culture have been so well known to her friends,

THE GEAvE OF THE FALLEN.
4" A GIRL LOST
BY HELEN l.. BOSTWICK


Still and cold the snow is lying.
White the wintry sunbcams glow,
Where heart at rest from signing,
Stiller, colder lies below.
IT'S heart too early laden
With life's whitening woe and care;
And the bright locks of maiden,
That with Death are sleeping there.
But the snow-rift DER her pillow
Bears no footsteps lingering TOKEN
And the long arms of the willow
Wear their pearly gems unbroken.
Wherefore doth sweet Friendship scorn her,
In her dwelling dark and lone
Wherefore hath no sorrowing mOurner
Der hor gravo-rcst reared a stone
Once, the ice gem was not brighter
Than her brow's unshadowed scroll;
Nor the snow-rift purer, whittier,
Than the tablet of her soul.
Then kind faces clustered round her,
In vine-wreathed cottage nest;
Then Affections bright links bourd her,
With spell of peace and rest.
But one night came Death and Sorrow,
When her white haired sire was taken;
Yet, upon darker morrow,
Were those sweet eyes doomed to waken.
Ere spring came, her gentle mother
Slept beside the life-lovo dead;
Then the brightlipped, manly brother,
Who would "work for all, y he said.
Had'st thou died too, palid griever,
Watching by thy dead alone,
Wildering words of the deceiver
Never should thy car have known.
Had the child-heart of the mourner
Broken in its spotless bloom,
Never finger Of the scorner
Had been pointed at her tomb.
But how Jared the orphan lonely,
And her little sisters two;
Save dark-eyed stranger only,
There were none that thought or knew.
But so generous was the stranger,
And so gentle was his eye
All how could she dream of danger,
When that noble form was by
But, alas the weary winter,
Whom the stranger came no more.
Want and Cold-she saw them enter,
Hideous, at her cottage door.
She had sought in vain for labor;
Leave to toll for bread and wood;
But there was no friend nor meigh5Or
That for toll would give her food.
One wild eve-the gusts were swelling
Fiercely, through the governed air
Hush voice is in her dwelling,
And step beside her chair
All. too we'll her heart remembers
Sweetest sounds the ear can know;
All, twas not the dying embers
Lent her cheek so rich glow
Colder grew the hearth, and colder
Grew the thin claspcd hands above
For that hour the stranger told her
OF his scealtA and of his foCe'
Wildly boat the heart, that parting,
Prayed he nc'er might come again;
Wilder, when. from slumber starting,
Loved ones cried for bread in vain
Oh! forbear the tale of sorrow.
How those shivering infants plead;
Still ono bitter, blackened morrow,
By that hearth were fire and bresd
And that soul of love and meeknesd,
In an evil hour of trust,
In an evil hour of weakness,
Droopod its plumage in the dust.
Summer brought its roses, springing
GaiIy round her cottage door;
And the nestled arblers singing,
But she never nursed them more.
Autumn came, with black clouds Weeping
Der a new and narrow sod;
And the broken heart was sleeping,
And the spirit was with God

Rheumatism, painful and swelled Joints, neural
gia of the Face, Deafness, Blindness, st. Vitus
Dance, palpitations of the Heart. periodical
Headache, pains in the Stomache, In

THESE CHAINS were first introduced in the
i city Of New York, less than year SINCE and
after being subjected to the most thorough trial
in every hospital in the city, by Drs. Valintine
Mott Post, Carnochan and Van Buren,, it was dis.
covered that they possess strange and wonderful
power in the relief and cure ofthe above class OF
diseases, and they at once recommended, through
the papers of the city, their general USE and their
sale and the success that has attended their use
is unpGrdteied.
Previous to their introduction into this country
they were used in every hospital in Europe, ant
are secured by patents in France, Germany, Aus
tria, Prussia and England and also in the United
States.
''Think Rose and ponder ,reV"
The principles upon which it is claimed that tn
Chains produce their marvellous cures, are, first
that all NERVOUS DISEASES are attended and pro
duced by deficient supply of nervous fluid, and
an agent that resembles closely electricity, or
electric magnetism; and secondhand the electric
magnetic chains, by being worn over and upor
the part and organ diseased, furnish to the ex
hausted nervous system,by its powerful stimua
ting effects the nervous full which is required to
produce a healthy action through the entire sys
ten. Nsdisgusting nostrum is allowed to be tax en-
while using the Chains, but rigid observance of
the general laws of health required. Brisk
Friction upon the part deceased, adds much to
the effect of the chains, by increasing their mag
netic power.
1000 Dollars
will be given to any person who will produce so
many well authenticated ceytifc0tes Of cure, both
from intelligent patencs and scientific physicians,
as have been affected by the OF Pulvermach's
ELECTRIC CHAINS. They never fail to perform what
they are advertised to do, and no person has ever
been dissatisfied who has given them a trial.
In Female Diseases,
more than one hundred permanent cures Of pro-
Mpsus utri have been effected within the last year
by the use Of these chains. BY applying one end
OF the chain over the region of the abdomen and
the other upon the spine just above the hips, the
usual severe symptoms incident to that disease are
at once removed.
Mode of Use.
The chain should be moistened before use with
common vinegar, and then one end of the chain
should be applied directly to the seat of the pain
or disease, and obtain a pamphlet (gratis) 1t
will explain their mode of use to all who may de-
sire it. Physicians respectfully invited to call
and investigate their merits.
