FROM
THE CAPITULATI0N OF PARIS, IN 1914,

BY A FRIEND OF LIBERTY.
CHAPTER XIV

The Emperor Nicholas attained only some
of the objects which he had in view when he
came to England. He succeeded neither in
alternating the friendship of Queen Victoria
from the King of France, nor in acquiring
her confidence himself. His august hostess
appears to have felt strong natural antipathy
against her giant-like guest whose bearing and
looks stood not in much harmony with his pro-
fuse protestations of moderation, and freedom
from ambition. But he was the more success
full in acquiring host of partisans among the
High Tories, and the Peelites, too, and in
awakening, in many of the British statesmen
previously great friends of Louis Philippe
serious apprehensions relative to the possible
consequences Of the rumored union between
one of the French Princes and the sister of the
Spanish Queen. Indeed, he did not fail in
the attempt at rousing the suspicion of Sir
Robert Peel himself against the King of
France, who was alleged to nourish the plans
of taking possession of some of the islands in
the Pacific Ocean, and in extending largely his
African possessions. There are even reasons

ship of Queen Victoria towards the royal family
of Louis Philippe, her Cabinet would have urged
some hostile demonstrations against France, in
regard to the Otaheite question. The threats
which the Premier of Great Britain uttered,
In one of his parliamentary speeches, were
neither warranted by the conduct of the French
Government, nor becoming the prudence of a
veteran statesman, but may be put down as
evidence of the influence which the Gear was
exercising over him, and of the wish of the
British Minister to convince the Autocrat that
he was not unmindful of his Imperial Majesty's
most friendly suggestions. The blame must,
however, remain with Sir Robert Peel, of hay
ing permitted himself to use such language,
without any justi6able cause, as might easily,
under different circumstances, have led to a
war between France and England. But Louis
Philippe had the good sense to take no notice
of expressions more BETTING an inconsiderate
youth, than a man of the age of Sir Robert
Peel, but FASTENED, not very long after the re-
turn of the Gar to Russia, to accomplish his
intention of vising England, where he met with

A CoLoRED GRADUATE. - Among the grad
mates at Dartmouth College, at the late com
mencement, was Mr.. E. G. Draper, of Baltimore,
who spoke well and was much applauded. In
l835-just twenty years ago-an Academy,
within few miles of the College, was broken
up, and the academy building dragged from its
foundations by a hundred yoke of oxen, under
the control of Pro-Slavery mob, because the
trustees had admitted one or two colored
scholars; now Dartmouth opens her doors to
colored students, giving them the place due
to their talents and character. Who will say
that coLoyed College is needed, when our
most popular institutions of learning, one after
another, are eyincing willingness to receive
students, without regard to complexional dis.
tinctions?

To-day, oh Lord Of Hosts!
We meet within thy temple, and our soul
Had such a wave of glory DER il roll,
AS bore us from the coasts,
Shadows, and quicksands, of our common life
The loud tumutuous clamorings Of strife,
And all discordant things.
While we scared upward as on spirit wings,
To Heavens p.arly gate
The gate by angels kept
And we would fain have slept,
That we might enter at the shining portal,
And know the blessedness of Life Immortal,
But angels babe US toait.
