activity was aroused, that can never be destroyed
Results not dreamed Of by the Emperor will fol-
low In the history Of the nation.
Nicholas, in one word, was reformer both for
good and for evil. Some of his plans for improve.
ment were carried out-Others were attempted
and left unfinished. He cherished q genuine
spirit of Russian nationality, exciting to fame
the spark which before existed. This was at the
basis of all bis measures and projects. To attain
this he availed himself OF the actual civilization
Of bis people, without attempting to divert it into
new channels. In all his governmental and sd-
ministrative relations he displayed q prodlgious
energy of which the effects will by no means
pass away with his life.
In the domestic annals Of his house he was the
first to inaugurate the reign Of moral principle
As far as w.s possible with the traditions and
customs Of the nation, he infused higher moral
spilit into the manners of the Court, and through
this into the more remote and extended circles of
social life. At least, check was given to the
audacity of vice. immortality could no longer
present the shameless front which disgraced the
reeIs of Csthsrine and of Alexander. Az the
sovereign of Russia, he aided his nation to take
the position which che now firmly occupies in
the history Of the world. Hereafter she can no
longer be regarded as an accident, according to
the expression of Alexander.
The good, however, which Nicholas either Der.
formed or intended for his nation, was vitia.ed
by one dark blot. In his conception of the
sutoeratic power, the nation, as we'll as the in.
dividualiy Of every subject, was wholly absorbed
in the absolute substance of the Czarism. Every.
thing was to originate in thst-snd to return 10
it sgain. Thus, Nicholas did not hate or despise
what 10 called pubic opinion-bu. only allowed
1t to exist according to bis own autoeratc ideas.
Autocrscy was bis deep and earnest conviction,
and became his idol. With an iron consistency,
he carried II into all the relations Of the Empire

Where true hearts will not shrink nor be dis

And love will never die.
Tell me, IL fain would 90,
For am burdcncd with heavy woe;
The beautiful have left me al alone;
The true, the tender from my path have eoiic;
And am weak and f,inting with despair;
Where IS it ? Tell me where
Friend, thou must trust in HIM who trod be-

Tho dcsolate paths of life
Must bear in meek ness, as he mcckly bore,
Sorrow, and toll, ard strife.

These thorny paths has trod,
Think how He longcd TO go,
Yet tarricd out for thee the appointed woe;
Think Of His loneliness in places dim,
When no man comfortcd nor cared for Him =
Think how lie prayed, unaidcd and alone,
In that dread agony, " Thy will be done; !"
Friend, do not thou despair
Christ, in His heaven of heavens, will bear

The Place where Men should Die.

rhe Place where Men should Die
How little recks it where men lie,
When ohce the moments past
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth its last
Whether beneath the sculpturcd urn
The coflincd form shall rest,
Or, in its nakcdncss, return
Back to its mothers breast.
Death is a common friend or foe,
As different men may hold:
And at his summons each must go
The timid and the bold
Du: when the spirit, free and warm,
Deserts it, AS it must,
What matter where the lifclcSs form
Dissolvcs again to dust
The soldier falls mid corscs piled,
Upon the battlc-plain,
Where rcinlcss war-stccds gallop wild
Above the manglcd slain;
But, though his corsc be grim to see,
lloof-tramped on the sod,
What recks it, when the spirit free
Has scared aloit to God
The towards dying eyes may close
Upon his downy bed,
And softest hands his limbs compose,
Or garments ocr them spread;
But yc, who shun the bloody fray.
Go-strip his coflin-l'l away,
And see him in his grave
'T were sweet, indeed, 10 close our eyes
With those We cherish, near,
And waited upwards, by their sighs,
