ANOTHER GREEK Save BY THE Pow
KRs.-One of the neatcst things that ha,
been done in these parts, and one of the
best jokes of the season, recently came oil
at New Rochelle, one of the suburbs OF
New York. The bellies at the Neptune
House proposed TO The beaux to have Sc
ries of tableaux; committee was chosen.
and in day or two the programme was
published. Much that was fInay, fair and
historical was to be presented. But wha;
attracted general attention was the pro
posed tabieau Of the "Greek Slave" How
this was to be done no one could inst see
To make a representation Of that wonder
iul work Of art, and at the same time Ia
present representation proper for mixed
assembly to look upon was a marvel. The
room WAS erowded-aud as the time came
near to present. the 'Gleek Slave" the
gentlemen looked dubious. Many flit
check was intensely trlmson-ald some
hearts palFitated. The curtain was rnno
up and the sight called out one of the
most violent bursts Of laughter and APP
pause that ever shook a room in Nav
Rochelle. All alone, in the centre Of The
stage, stood an lrisi,man, in rags. with .
shocking bad hat on his eal-sitb . boJ
on hls shoulder, filled with biicks-s;,,;n,,
the sweat from his forehead, and oiy;n :
the fair assembly one of those broad seripss
and knowing mods so peculiar to paaax
when he wants 10 be Factions Fha ,b;,.
took in moment, aud the fair inventors
were rewarded with rounds Of applaus,
from the auditory, which hey most ricbI,
merited.- Cor. Boston Journal.

Robert Emmet and his Love.

Twas the evening of q lovely day-the last
day of the noble and ill-fated Emmett.
A Young girl stood at the castle gate and de-
sired admittance into the dungeon.
She was closely yelled, and the keeper could
not imagine who she was, nor that any one OF
such proud bearing should be an humble suppli-
ant to the prison door. However, he granted
the boon-led her to the dungeon, opened the
massive iron door, then closed it again, and the
lovers were alone lie was leaning against the
prison wall with down casthead, and his arms
were folded upon his breast. Gently she raised
the veil from her face, and Emmett turned to
gaze upon all that earth contained for him-the
girl whose sunny brow in the days of boyhood
was his polar star-the maiden who had made
him think the world was all sunshine. The
clanking of the chains sounded like death
knell to her ears, and she wept like child
Emmett said but little, yet he pressed her warm
" to his bosom, and their feelings held silent
meeting-such meeting perchance as is held
in heaven only, when we part no more. In
low voice he besought her not to forget him
when the cold grave received his inanimate bo-
dy-he spoke Of by-gone days-the happy hours
of childhood when his hopes were bright and
glorious, and he concluded by requesting her
sometimes to visit the places and scenes that
were halowed to his memory from the days OF
his childhood, and though the world might pro-
nounce his name with scorn and contempt, he
PRAYED she should still cling to him with atfec-
ton. and remember him when all Others should
forget Hark the Church bell sounded and he
remembered the hour of execution. Ihe
turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears
from his eyes, he separated them from their
long embrace, and led the lady from the dun
geon. At the entrance she turned and their eyes
met-they could not say farewell! The door
swung upon its heavy hinges, and they parted
forever. No! not forever! is there not heav-
en-?
At sunrise next morning he suffered glorious
ly; martyr to his country and to liberty.
And One-oer her the myrtle showers,
| Its leaves by soft winds famed,
She faded midst Italian flowers
The last of their fair band.
Twas in the land of Italy; it was the gorge
Gus time of sunset in Italy; what magnificent
scene! A pale emaciated girl lay upon the bed
OF death. Oh! it was hard for her to die far
from her home in this beautiful land where flow
ers bloom perennial, and the balmy air comes
freshly to the pining SOUL Oh no; her star
had set; the brightness of her dream had faded
her heart was broken. When ties have been
formed on earth, close burning ties, "what is
more heart-rending and agonizing to the spirit
than to find, at last, the beloved one is snatched
away, and all our love given to passing flow
eret." Enough she died the betrothed of Rob-
ert Emmet; the lovely Sarah Curran. Italy con-
tains her last remains; its flowers breathe theil
fragrance over her grave, and the lulling notes
of the shepherds lutte sound a requiem to hel
memory.

POETRY.


For the Spectator.
A Retrospect.
My wayward thought, your wandrings cease,
While l review the scene;
And see if from the hallowed Past,
A lesson can CLEAN.
The blissful scenes of days gone by,
mo pen nor tongue can tell"
Suffice to say, they could not last,
But that know too well.
Twas to yon Cherry grove, beyond
The meadow, large and fair,
My rowing footsteps oft have led;
To see Improvement there.
Twas there, sometimes tried to read,
A heart, that's warm and true;
While time, on rapid, tireless wing,
Unuoticed, onward flew.
Twas there, amid those halcyon scenes,
I've heard sweet Mary play;
While gay and blithesome jimmie sung,
In an inspiring lay.
But now, alas, the place is changed,
Since they no longer cheer;
And all its beauty, all its grace,
With them did disappear.
No cordial welcome greets me now,
As at the door / stand;
No smiling faces round me come,
To shake my proffered hand
'Tis thus my joys will ever fade,
"As fast the years come on;
One by one III see them go,
Till all, alas are gone

OPPOSED TO THE DEoALoGUE.-The London
Advertiser states fact which shows that men
occupying prominent positions are not above the
need Of the most elementary Sunday School in
struction. 1t says that candidate for Parla-
ment to the recent election, in the course of an
electoneering speech was asked-"What do you
think of the Decalogue9" Confounded by the
inquiry, he turned to friend and asked-"What
do you think of the Decalogue?" The friend
whose acquaintance with divinity was on par
with his own, replied by suggesting that it pro-
baby meant togging in the army. Whereupon
the candidate declared: 81 entirely disapprove
of the Decalogue, and will never rest till see it
abolished" The gentleman was,eected, and is
now a member of the New Parliament. The
Advertiser adds: "We pledge ourselves for the
perfect accuracy of this statement

RUNAWAY MATCHES seem to be marked with
Divine displeasure. | have never heard OF
happy one. Not far from US resides q widow
lady who eloped from an excellent mother,
when young, with worthless young man. She
is now the mother of three grown daughters,
every one of which has eloped and left her-the
Youngest only last June, at fifteen years OF age
and She was left desolate and broken hearted
Thus is the example of the mother followed by
the children; and who can she blame but her.
self9 But the worst remains to be told: The
eldest has already been deserted by her husband,
who has gone to California, and she had to seek
shelter in the home of her childhood; the second
daughter is suing for divorce, though she has
not been thirteen months married.
All, girls! never, in an unheeded hour, place
your hand in that of young man who would
counsel you thus to leave your paternal home
1t is cruel to deprive those who have nourished
you, and with sweet hope, looked forward to
the day of your marriage beneath their own
roof; it is cruel to rob them of their happiness.
It is their blessed privilege to bless your union,
to witness your own and your husbands joy
How can You then rob them of their participa-
ton in that joyous bridal, toward which they
have been so many years looking forwardf-
Daughters who elope wrest from their parents
that crowning JOY of fathers and mothers
lfe-the qualification Of seeing their daughter
married at their own iresde. A bridal else
where is unnatural, and Gods blessing will not
follow it.

SAYINGS OF MARTIN LurHER.-Luther, taking
up a caterpillar, said: "Tis an emblem of the
devil in its crawling walk, and bears his colors
in its shining hues"
Luther was one day being shaved and having
his hair cut in the presence of Jonas, when he
said to the latter: 'Original sin is in us like
beard. We are shaved to-day, and look clean,
and have smooth chin tomorrow our beard
is grown again, nor does it cease growing whilst
we remain on earth. In like manner, original
sin cannot be extirpated from u.s. it springs up
in us as long as we exist. Nevertheless, we are
bound to resist it to the utmost of our strength,
and to cut it down increasingly. When | am
assailed with heavy tribulations, rush out a.
mong my pigs, rather than remain alone by my
self The human heart is like milestone in a
mill when you put wheat under it, it turns and
grinds and bruises the wheat to flour. If you
put no wheat in, it still grinds on but then it's
itself it grinds and wears away"

CHURCHES IN RoME.-A recent estimate of the
valuo of the churches in the Eternal City has
been made, by which it would seem that the
outside world has hardly yet formed an approx
innate Judgment of the immense amount oftreas-
ures collected within the walls of these temples
of Christian worship. St. Peters, independents
ly of its invaluable treasures of art, cost over
500 1000, 900 and the annual expense of repairs is
some $1,000! There are also other churches
in Rome equally magnificent in the style and
splendor of their decorations, and some two or
three OF which would buy all the churches in
Boston and New York. Thus in the bastile of
St. John Lateran, which is the parish church
of Rome among many chapels is to be found a
famous one, the Corsni by name, which alone
cost $2,OO0,OOO! These prices it should be re-
nembered, are intended to represent merely the
cost of construction and furniture, and do not
include the gold and silver gems, and the chets
d. a,tores of painting and sculpture, which a.
bound profusely in there magnificent structures.
