THE BEDcHAMBER OF AN EMPEROR,

The LIE Nord published the following account
of u visit made by its. correspondent to the bed
room Of the Emperor Nicholas at st. Petersburg 4:
THE person who acted as my guide did not say

into an arched room of moderate dimensions, and
lighted by = single window looking into a court.
This room was both n study and a bedroom.
Before the window was placed a desk, on which
Was a pocket-bOok half ouen, a few sheets OF
paper and some pens,a crumpled-up handkerchief,
u small ~statuctte Of the Prince OF Wales, in the
dress of a sailor, and u water-color drawing rep
resenting children. A straw-bottUmed chair was
placed on the desk, which was much the worse for
wear, and bore many marks of being cut with a
perknife. Near this desk was al old sofa, covered
with green leather, with well-worn cushions. OPP
positc, on Il console ornamented with a mirror, was
a dressing-case, in leather. the simplicity of which
showed that its owner did not indulge in any
refinement of toilet. On the chimney piece was "a
small time piece, in black marble, on which stood
a bust of the C0uIt dc Beckendorf. There was
no looking glass on the chimney. Half concealed
by the time. piece was a statuette, in bronze, of
Napu con l., similar to that in the Place Vendome.
Some pictures ornamented the walls, representing
military scenes, painted by Horace Vernet, a
French artist. A bust of Marshal Radetzky stood
on the console a portrait OF the Grand Duke
Michael, brother of Paul, was hung, half concealed,
in the corner of the wall. In one corner of the
room stood a common soldiers musket and on
a small table was the helmet of a general, without
a plume, and bearinL marks of long service. Near
the sofa, and parallel with the desk, was an iron
campbell. On this bed, which my guide told ne
to pres. with my hand, to see how hard 1T felt. was
a mattress covered with leather, and n pillow
stuffed with hpy. There was folded upon the bed
an old gray uniform cloak, and at the foot of it, on
a w~eI-worn carpet, were IA pair Of morocco leather
slippers. | contemplated with surprise this austere
retreat in a remote corner of one OF the most mag

THE BIG AND LITTLE QUEUES.

A very keen observer. then and long afterwards
n Senator of the United States, once told me that at
this period, all the BARRIERS in Washington were
federalists. and he imputed it to the fact, that the
leaders Of ,hat party in Congress wore powder and
queues, AMI Jf course had them dressed every day
by the barber. The democrats, on the contrary,
wore short hair, or at least, small queues tied up
carc.essly with q ribbon, and therefore gave little
encoura cement to the tOnsorial art.
One day, as the narrator told me, while he was
being shaved by the Leading barber of the city

Connecticut, and Stockton of New Jersey What

and powdered every day, sir, like real gentlemen

DRESS N

Jefferson was or affected to be very simple in his
taste, dress and manners. He wore pantaloons in
stead Of b~Ieeches, and adopted leather shoe-strings
ia place OF buckles. These and other similar things
were praised by his admiI ers as signs of his demo-
cracy-a certain coarscness Of manners, supposed to
be encouraged by the leaders, passed to the led.
Rudeness and irreyerence were at length deemed
democratic. ifnot democracy. An a~necdute, which
is strictly historical, will illustrate this.
About this time there was, i'll the eastern part of
Connecticut,a clergyman by the name of Cleveland,
who was noted for his wit. One summe day, as
he was riding along, he came to a brook. Here he
paused to let his horse drink. just then a stranger
rode INTO the stream from an opposite direction, and
his horse began TO drink also. The animals ap-
preached, as is their wont under such circumstances
and thus brought the two men face to face.
"IIow are you, priestf" said the stranger.
"IIow are you, Democrat" said the parson.
Glow do you know | am u democrat2' said one.
GLOW do you know | am a priest?" said the
other.
Il know you to be a priest by your DRESS" said
the stranger.
II know you to be a democrat by your address,
said the parson.

From the Transcript.
NORTH CAROLINA DISGRACED.

The Supreme Court of North Carolina has CON
firmed the decision of Judge Manly, that members
of the Universalist Church are incompetent to tes-
tify in courts of justice, according to the laws of
that State! By this decision the Universalists of
North Carolina are virtually outlaws, as no mem
her of that religious denomination can collect his
debts, swear to an assault, or testify before the
courts in any case, il his wife or child should be
he insulted! Think of n court refusing to hear
the testimony of such eminent clergyman as the
Rev. DR.. Ballou, Rev. DR.. Chapln, Rev. L. ). King
and hundreds of others; or to have a judge set
aside the evidence of thousands of our honored
and esteemed citizens f the same roligious be-
lief as the persons named above, on account of their
theological opinions, while the oath of u miserable
scamp or vile loafer is received, because his thee,
retic belief ~ squares with the popular creed
Such facts as the above come upon us now and
then, and reveal that Xhile great progress has been
made in religious liberation in this country, spirit
ual freedom, in its true and broad sense, is not full
ny secured. This decision Of the highest court OF
a sovereign State of the American Union in the
year 1856, is far more disgraceiul than any OF the
intnlerant acts Of the Pertains Of the seventeenth
century. when al the facts in the case are consid
cred. For were Benjamin Franklin or Thomas
Jefferson now alive, and in North Carolina, and Ia
witness an assault, or to be present where a muir
der was committed, the guilty party would esca pe
if there were no other witnesses, because those
patriots and statesmen. on account of their doe
trinal views, could not testify to what transpired
before their own eyesl

In sunsets light DER Afric thrown,
A wanderer proudly stood
Beside the wellspring, deep and lone,
OF Egypt's awful food;
The cradle of that mighty birth,
So long a hidden thing to earth.
The rapture of a conqueror's mood
Rushed burning through his frame,
The depth of that green solitude
Its torrents could not tame,
Though stiffness lay, with ewes last smile,
Round those calm fountains of the Nile.
Night cams with stars;-across his soul
There swept a sudden change,
Fen at the pilgrims glorious goal,
A shadow dark and strange,
Breathed from the thought SO swift to fall

No more than this !-what seemed it noW
First by that spring to stand
A thousand streams of lovelier flow
Bathed his own mountain landl
Whence, far DER waste and ocean track,
Their wild sweet voices call him back.
They called him back to many a glade,
His childhood's haunt of play,
Where brightly through the beechen shade
Their waters glanced away;
They called him, with their sounding waves,
Back to his fathers hills and graves.

emigrants into Arkansas and Texas from North
Carolina and other States. Can there be any con-
