The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-06-14

The Bmperors of Russia and Austria and
the King Of Prussia met, during the month Of
October, personally in Troppau, in order to
come to a more close agreement upon what
was 10 be done for the suppression of the revo-
lutions which, in the course of nine months,
had set at naught the established principles OF
the Holy Alliance, and virdicated the soyer-
eighty of the people. Having agreed upon
| certain measures these three powerful Princes
! issued an invitation to the King Of Naples. to
repair to Laiback, whittier the Congress Of the
monarchs was transferred, there to deliberate
upon them, as it was expressed, upon the steps
which were to be taken for the paciticatioR of
his kingdom.
This invitation was accepted, and probably
cheerfully, by the King of Naples But, before
his departure from his kingdom he gave the
most positire and solemn assurances that he
would remain faithful to the sworn Constitu-
ton, and confirmed all the DEGREES until then
passed by the Parliament. The Prince Re
gent, too renewed his oath of fidelity, prOmis-
ing most emphatically. in the midst Of the as
sembled Parliament, to defend and respect sa-
credly the Constitution. This done. the King
embarked, on the 18th of December, on board
of an English ship of the line and proceeded
TO Laihack.

A BRIGHT BOY.

A learned pedagogue at N used every
morning to read passages in the Bible, and ex-
pound the same as he proceeded, in order that.
by asking questions as to how much they re-
membered of his comments, he might ascertain
who were the bright boys of the school, On
one occasion he read from the book of Job,
thus:
"There was man in the land of w, and
his name was Job, who feared God and
eschewed evil. Eschewed evil that is, he
eschewed evil as l do tobacco-he would have
nothing to do with it,"
With this very clear and forcible calculation
of the word "eschew" he proceeded, until a
number of verses were read and commented on
in a similar clear and Ineligible manner.
After a long interval, when the young mind had
time to digest its food, the pedagogue called
upon one of the younger boys, and the follow
ing dialogue ensued
"Who was the man who lived in Uz?"
Sob"
"Was he good MANI"
Eyes"
"What did he do?"
He cheaoed tobacco iohen nobody else cou7d
hare nothing to do Nth it," was Bob Holmes s
answer.
The boy was permitted to take his seat

somewhere along the doubtful years.
In years ofjoy or years OF pain,
My soul has msr~eiled while il heard
A sound ii never heard again
Somewhere-perhaps in that strange lapse
VI being, which, we diTnly dream,
Was somewhere in our Heretofore.
Divided LIES mysterious stream
In dreams seem to hear again,
But, waking, lose the melody;
And wandering echoes of the tone
Forever haunt and follow me
My questioning heart looks searchingly
In every human, brother face;
And eagerly in each new voice
The long-ost clue seek to trace
Sometimes meaning sweet and rare
Rings through some half-forgotten word,
And hinis the dear, exceeding Joy.
Which thrilled from that diviner chord
ween that in that sound must lie
The long-sought aye, the wished-for yes,
Interpreting faie's oracle,
The answer ofmy LIES long guess.
EMBODIED in that subtle tone,
deem is hid the mystic key,
Which, reproduced, would bring again
LIES discord back TO harmony.
In vain-pale Memory strives in vain
To roll away the mighty stone;
The faithful Past yields up his dead
Unto the voice of God alone.
My weak hands strive with Destiny
For harmonies il should have lent
note from liie's sweet tune is gone;
A string lost from the instrument
o music sweet and infinite
o measure beautiful and free.
Strike up along the slumbering chords
That only sleep TO dream OF thee.
