The European War and lis Parties.

The atmosphere is somewhat clear.
ed by the last news. Several points
are now fairly distinguishable. The
policy of the czar Alexander is
plainly indicated, and is such as We
had anticipated. The policy of Prussia
has become fixed by her refusal to
join the Western Alliance, and this
determination makes it is almost cer-
tain that Germany will continue an
armed neutral in the contest. 1t is
almost certain that France is deter
mined to keep up her present over
whelming ascendeney in the Crimea,
and consequently to hold Turkey
and England completely in her pow
er. eE
1t is also tolerably apparent that
Great Britain desires peace, and that
France does not, and that the seeds
of disafection and suspicion are sown
between these two powers which only
require little cultivation to ripen
into a harvest of mischief. What
the Turks. think or feel, it is not
thought even worth while to chron-
icle, so completely has their coun-
try dropped out of sight since the
contest fairly commenced. They will
in the end we suppose be sold to the
highest bidder to pay the expenses
of "a war to preserve the integrity of
the Ottoman Empire and save the civ
ilization of Europe France is like
ly to haye a mortgage that will cover
the highest bid. If SO, We shall re-
.joice in the result; for we think
France, better than any other nation
of Europe, would know how to redeem
the old classic land from the desola-
tion of four centuries of Ottoman mis-
government. = 4 -

Bright be thy way--the world is thine
Go Gull its fairest, sweetest flowers.
Oh may thy dreams like rainbows shine
Throughout the golden, heightened hours
/ would not have one thought of me
Inthy dear heart in dreams to lie,
For sweeter lips will smile for thee
Why should l wish to haunt thee, why?
Bright be thy way-no storm of i'll
Ipray may hover DER thy head;
But sunlight DER thy spiritstill
Its pure, unclouded brightness shed.
And, o, within thy truthful breast
: May woe, nor gloom. nor doubts, nor fears,
Find e'en moments place of rest
Thine eyes are far too brightfo tears.
Bright be thy way--yet sweet one, yet,
Sometimes, when stars are shining bright,
Think thou Of one whose eyes are wet
With tear-drops like the dew Of night;
And know that one will pray for thee
Where'er on earth's wild waste he dwell,
Yet do not give Que sigh for me,
Loved Of my heart, farewell! farewelt

Requiem.

Requiem.
They tell me of beauteous land
All radiant and bright,
Beyond the tomb where thunder sleeps,
Beyond the storm-cloud's fight;
Beyond the home of twinkling stars,
Beyond the wheeling spheres,
Where misery's tempest never comes
With sorrow laden'd tears.
They tell me bright angel there,
Sweet sister, thou art now,
With a rosy wreath of heavenly light,
Like jewels on thy brow; ~r
And that on golden harps you breathe
The soft celestial song,
And DER its fow'ry plains you move
Amid a Seraph throng.
They tell me that on snow-white wings,
You sport though fields of space,
And watch the myriad worlds that march
like Legions in their place;
And catch the music sweetness
That fills that cloudless cline,
As on its sun Of brightness rolls. 5s
UNMARKED by weary time.
They tell me that like Ewes pale star,
You beam upon me yet.
With gladsome smiles and loving eyes,
As when on earth we met;
They tell me thou dost love me still,
AS when loving child.
You sat upon my knees and played
So gleeful, yet so mild.

Can II BE TRUE? - The decline Of

rer Of that city. The writer says
that the ANOMALY exists in Boston
of church Sithout single worship
per, residingin the city, of the iaith

that not a single Quaker now resides
in Boston. Diligent inquiry OF the

resident Of Boston for several years."

This isa.wor.d Of inaexible COM
meree; nothing is ever given away.
but every thing is bought and paid
for. If by exclusive and absolute
surrender of ourselves to material
pursuits,we materialize the mind, We
lose that class of satisfaction Of
which the mind is the teeming source.
A young man in business, for instance,
begins to feel the exhilarating glow
of success, and deliberately deter
mines to abandon himself to its deli
cious whirl. He says to himself, I
will think Of nothing but business
until / have made so much money and
then ! will begin new life. | will
gather round me books, pictures,
and friends. ! will have knowledge,
taste, and cultivation, the perfumes of
scholarship, and winning speech and
graceful manners. | will see foreign
countries, and converse with accom-
plished men. / viii drink deep of
the fountain of classic lore. Phi.
losophy shall guide me, history shall
instruct me. and poetry shall charm
me. Society shall open to me her
world Of wonders, ! shall then re-
member my present life of drudgery,
as one recalls pleasant dream when
the morning has dawned. He keeps
his sellregistered VOW. He bends
his thoughts downward and nails
them to the dust. Every power,
every affection, every taste, except
those which his particular occupation
calls into play,is left to starve. Over
the gates of bis mind, be writes in
letters which be who runs may read:
''No admittanee except on business"
In time he reaches the goal of his
hopes, but now insulted nature begins
70 claim her revenge. That which was
,nce unnatural to him, the enforced
has become rigid deform-
ty. The spring of his mind is bro
zen.
He can no longer lift his thoughts
rom the ground. Books and knoWl-
'dge, and wise discourses, and the a.
nenities ofart,and the cordialgrasp of
riendship,are alike words on astrange
ongue. To the hard, smooth sur
ace of bis soul, nothing genial,grace-
ul or winning, will cling. He can
lot even purge bis voice of its fawn-
ng tone, or pluck from his face the
mean money getting mask which the
hid does not look at without eeas-
ng to smile. Amid the graces and
of wealth he is like
'lins man in picture gallery
That which be has done he must Gen.
inue to do;he must accumulate riches
which he cannot enjoy, and contem-
late the dreary prospects of growing
Id without any thing to make age

SHOT THROUGH THE BRAIN AND YET
LIVED SEVERAL HoURs.-A post NOR.
tenn examination made on the body
of Count Ziegenhorn, who commit
ted suicide in Albany, New York, on
last Thursday, on account of unre-
Quilted love, disclosed the fact that a
ball which be discharged at his head
entered at the right side, passed en-
tirely through the brain and struck
against the skull on the left side,
when, its force being spent, it sank
down two or three inches. Still,
life was not extinct, for eighteen hours

OM,Nous EvENr.-A grave event
hat lust occurred at Moscow. The
large bell of the tower of Ivan We.
leik. in The Kremlin, fell 10 the
ground at the moment when the
ceremony Of swearing allegiance
and fidelity to the new Emperor
was going on, and by IFS fall crushed
nearly 100 persons. For people
so superstitious as the Russians,
this disaster has appeared a most
sinister omen, and the letter which
gives an account Of the event states
that the effect on the public mind
has been that Of great consterna-
lion.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHTNG WITHOUT
WIRES Among the most startling
wonders in connection with electricl-
ty. is the announcement that NJ. Bo-
nelli, of Turin, has invented a new
electric telegraph, by which trains in
motion on a railway are enabled to
communicate with each other at all
rates of velocity, and at the same
time, with the telegraphic stations
on the line; while the latter are, at
the same time, able to communicate
with the trains 1t is added, that
Nj. Bonelli is IN possession of sys-
tenn of telegraph communication by
which wires are entirely dispensed
with.
A POWERFUL ApPEAL.-On one OF

FARMING IN UTAH.-We clip the
following paragraph from late mum
