PREsCoTT THE HISTORIAN The numerous

the historian himself He appears daily in
our streets, and may be often seen taking
long walks for the preservation of his health.
lie is now at his winters residence, on Bea-
con street, where he spends about nine
months Of the year. The other three months
he has generally spent at Nahant or Pepper
ell, at both of which places he has country
seato most genial to the pursuits of an author.
MIR. Prescott is as systematic in his studies az
any Boston merchant and as great mser of
the minutes. AS many have learned, he was
so unfortunate as to lose one of his ewes while
in Harvard College. BY this loss, the other
eye became weakened through over-work, so
that, practically, he has written his immortal
histories as the blind write, or with an appa-
ratus such rs they use.
And yet he has scarcely tho appearance OF
any difficulty Of sight, and recognises his
friends in the street with that single faithful
eye. Indeed the observer might regard his
eyes as fine AZ one could desire. Mr.. Pres

averaging about aeyen Of the printed pages of
his volumes daily.

tory can throw any light upon the subjects of
his present and past invest cations. His
library contains nearly G000 volumes. 1t is
the picture OF room, that the proprietor had
constructed for his special use, as he did his
study, some distance above it towards the
heavens, where his beautiful compositions arc
produced.
Tha: Mr.. Prescott, with his physical EN-

wards forming an American standard tera

PofE's SEuLL.-William HowIt says that.
by one Of those acts which neither science
nor curiosity can excuse, the SKULL Of Pope is
now in the private collection Of n phrenoIo-
gist. The manner in which il was obtained
is said to have been this:--On some occasion
of alteration in the church. or burial of some
one in the same spot, the coffin Of Pope was
disinterred, and opened TO see the state OF
the remains; by br,be to the sexton of the
time possession of the skull was obtained
for the night, and another skull was return
ed instead Of il. Fifty pounds were paid to
manage and carry through this Transaction.
BE that as it may, the skull Of Pope figures
in o private museum.

Beams the morn, and breathes the air,
Gentle rain and pearly dew
Shed their freshness over you!

Where the chirping swallows play,
And the singing waters stray,
And the light is soft as dawn
Ye are gone-all gone.

That awoke within your bowers,
Gentle as the bleating flocks,
That we led among the rocks;

Now.

The following lines from Household Wo,
re full of wholesome advice, rs well AS be,
ifdl imagery. They convey 70 the youth
reamer lesson which it would be well
lin to ponder.
y Arise, for the day is passing
While YOU lie dreaming on;
Your brothers are cased in armor:
And forth to the fight are gone;
Your place in the ranks await you;
Each man has a par, 10 play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future
Or gaining u hard fought field,
OF storming the airy fortress,
OF bidding the giant yield;
Your future has deeds OF glory,
OF honor, God grant it mayD
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed rs now--to- day.
Arise! If the past detain you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains SO unworthy to hold you
As those OF a vain regret;
Sad or bright she is liieless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
OF nobler strife to-day.
Arise for the hour is passing
The sound that you dimIy hear,
is your enemy marching to battle!
Rise rise . for the foe is near
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from dreams of coming battle,
You will waken, and find it past.

RoMANcE IN REAL LiFE--Some wears ago,
beautiful young lady was the ward OF a per-
son in Louisiana, who deirauded her out Of
cutie large fortune. This lady came TO
this city, where she married, but not living
on good terms with her husband, finally OBJ
tanned n divorce from him and retired to IA
convent. Whilst she was there she received
letter from the son Of her guardian, nfor-
ming her Of his fathers death, and that him
self had heired all his vast property, but that
he could not consent to retain that which
had been treacherously tahen from another,
and offering to make restitution The lady
immediately proceeded to Louisiana, had an
interview with the heir, and received back,
both principal and interest, all that she had
been wronged out of. The strangest part Of
the story remains behind. No sooner had
she got possession of her fortune than she re-
turned TO this city, sought out her former
husband, and in few days vas Remarked
to him. Verify, the love OF woman passetl,

From The Boston Times, Feb. II.
BY the following letter it will be seen that
we are soon to have the startling disclosures
of Mormonism, referred to in letter lately
published in TIE Times. The lecturer Zone
of Brigham Youngs wives) has left Chicago,
and, it will be seen from the date of her let
ter is at present located in Pittsfeld, in this
State. She is expected to arrive here as soon
as the necessary arrangements for the del:v
cry OF her lectures are made.

violent threats against Mr.. Stivera and 9TH
ers; whereupon Mr.. s. had him arrested and
placed under bonds to keep the peace. Con-
siderable excitement ensued; and the gem
eral impression seemed to be, SO far as we
could learn, that Mr.. Wallace was the au-
thor of the slanderous letters.
So grave charge as this should not be
brought against any man without very
strong proof, and whatever may be our inn
pressions on the subject, we should hesitate
long time before making direct charge
against Mr.. W.; believing, as we do, that
the individual who would deliberately pen
such letters, would not hesitate to commit
any crime known to the law, and is deserv-
ing of no sympathy from any quarter. The
wretch who penned those letters is not fit to
live in any civilized community, and should
not be tolerated here. We do not counsel
mob law; because we believe our statutes
would reach his case, If the author should
ever be ascertained beyond doubt If,
however, we are mistaken in this, we GER
tainly could not blame the citizens Of this
vicinity, if they should take the matter into
their own hands. +

support Chase, and who are led by Pap
Taylor Of the Cincinnati Times, held their
Convention, (if indeed it was important
enough to entitle it to the name Of Conven-
tion) in Columbus on the 9th inst.
Itwas a magnificent izzle, according to all
accounts we have yet seen. It was adver-
tised as MASS CoNvsNrIoN, and every body
opposed to the nominations Of the 18th ol
July. was invited. Well, they met, but twas
not in crovd. About fifty or seventy-f
persons, all told, participated in the proceed

ernor, passed few resolutions, and ther
adjourned. The whole affair is fzzle, ant
