There exists man in Europe who weighs
Europe down. He is at once Spiritual Prince
and Corporal Lord despot and autocrat-he
is obeyed in the barracks and worshipped in
the monastery. He gives the password to the
former, and draws up the dogmas of the lat
ter lie set in motion to crush the liberties
OF the Continent, an empire of sixty men-miI-
liorpower. He holds these sixty men-mil-
lions in hands, not like men, but like brutes !;
not like minds, but like utensils, tools. In
his double quality OF eccIesiastic and soldier.
ne puts uniform on their souls. as he uni
forms their body, and says. to one, Believe |!
as he says TO the other, March This man is
the supreme expression of human might He
tortures whole nations as he pleases. With
sign he empties Poland into Siberia. He
weaves, interlaces and knots the threads Of
the great conspiracy cf princes against men.
He has been to Rome, and there he, the
Greek Pope, exchanged the kiss of alliance
with the Latin Pope. He reigns at Berlin,
at Munich, at Dresden, at Stuttgardt, at vi.
emma, as he reigns at ST. Peiersburgh. He
is the soul of the Emperor of Austria, and the
will OF the King of Prussia. Germany is q
mere iat-boat in his tow. This man resem.

Of the domestic happiness and exemplary pri-
vate life of his daughter-in law, no one has a
right to say one word, except in her praise.
The next child was Nathaniel P. Willis.
the charming poet and writer, whose name
and fame are so well-known that ink, paper,
and time would be wasted by writing another
word about him.
Louisa Willis, his sister, was one of the
most beautiful women Of the EARTH She mar
ried the Rev. Louis Dwight, a worthy and
good man, but both husband and wife are now
in Heaven.
Julia, another sister, was blue stocking
and for a time was an assistant, and subse-
quently sole editor of the Youths Companion
weekly, religious, juvenile paper, which
was started by Deacon Willis after he sold
the Recorder to the present proprietors, and il
flourishes as our readers know at this moment
Sarah, the next sister to Julia, was plain ir
appearance-the plainest In the whole family
some folks called her homely-but she wa.
smart as steel-trap! She snapped at every
body-even her most intimate playmates (w.
now speak of Fanny in her teens.) She wa,
proud. naughty, forward. She was, at hom,
or abroad, full of life, talk, vivacity, romance
and reality. She was, however, kept some
what in the background of every day life b.
her older and more quiet sisters, who wer,
often shocked at her forwardness on all occa
sions, even, we were about to say, if it wert
the hour of family prayer.
Mary, her sister, was most beautiful moss
rose, whom everybody loved and fiattered, bu
she was taken away by angels to the Paradis'
above Is it not said that whom the God
love they take early, Of the other member
OF the Willis family it is useless to speak.
Sarah is, or was, Mrs. Eldredge, wife o
the late Charles H. Eldredge, and afterward
she was married to Mr.. Harrington. OF tn,
first marriage Fanny Fern has spoken o
the second she has written not one word -

Il will be Home soon "

The Insignificant word d-couplet,,' All aboard
uttered thousands of times every day, in de-
pots and on docks-is always the prelude TO a
long psalm Of sorrow. OF itself it is mere
business behest; in its bearings, it involves re-
grei, suffering, and ofitimes, despair Not an
hour glides into the great sea of the past-not
a moment leaps to the surface, and then is lost
forever-but some ear listens to It's knell for
the last timel
If your heart has become dissatisfied with its
treasures, and YOU are disposed 10 grope amid
the shadows of desPondency. GO where friends
are parting. We do not know Of surer recipe
for rekindling the fame of sympathy than this.
No one with even The fragment of heart in
his bosom, can see the warm embraces of those
who are to go and those who are TO stay, or
hear the tremulous bot earnest goodbye and
God bless you, uttered by lips that trembe with
the freghtage, without blessing of his own.
A few weeks ago we were the witness of a
parting which touched Us nearly. II was be-
tween two who were newly. wedded, and who,
since the sweet day of their nuptials, had not
been parted for day-hardly for an hour
Nothing short of sheer necessity could have
called the. husband from his idol now-but the
necessity came between them, and he must not
shrink. We saw the long and wild embrace,
heard the goer whisper. BE of good cheer-I
l. r.
more the pillows rolled between the hearts tha,
so lately God had joined together.
Il will be home soon,' These were the
words-the only consolation left, amid so much
bitterness. Perhaps The pangs were sharpened
by the vague presentiment that they might new
er meet again And so she turned .from the
spot, that sad young wife, and went back to the
home whose light had departed.
i will be home soon.' And so he was home
before he was expectations ere yet the tears
were dried from the eyes ofthe weepers, whom
