HARRIET HOsMER,S CENCI.

This beautiful statue is now on exhlbl-
ton in New York Everybody will see
it. and it is well worth everybody's seeing.
One of our most brilliant friends in the
civ chances TO have known the young
sculptress, and she thus writes Of her, Ill
gossiping letter we have just received.
at is curious compound--Beatrce
Cenci and Harriet Hosmer! What have
they to do together? What drew this
strong, upright, blunt, sensible little New
England girl to the prison of the Cenci!
Yet the best conception of the beauty of
that character is this of Harriet Hos
mer's. When she was little girl her
good father used to say, i let her ride
horseback and live in the open air to save
her life, for all my family have died Of
consumption And so in front of his
gig, almost always in his sight, was the
little brown girl on her pony, scampering
along, drinking il health.
Presently health got tie better of her.
She drank too much of this bright cham
payne and got tipsy on it. People began
To talk of her mad pranks-unhitching
the cars TO have the excitement of seeing
the engine 90 off without its b,lrthen, wri-
ting squibs about the foolish people she
saw-going to the theatre armed with a
pistol, and riding with her back to the
horses head. The quiet country rang
with her exploits. The sculptress was
struggling out of her prison, reversing the
fable of Daphne. One day she went to
Mrs. BIS, and said, That is beautiful
print of Cymbeline, may take it home {?
Mrs. B. thought she was crazy, but she
let her take it, Soon AFTER Mrs. B. goes
in to her neighbours DIR. Hosmer's, and
10! there is her Cymbeline, copied in q
beautiful plaster bas-relief.
Harriet next went to Mrs. Sedgwick' s
school at Lenox, where she saw Mrs.
Fanny Kemble What friend for a
budding genius! Here she was brought
into due relations with herself, and the
world knows the rest. That sensible ia
Their has lived to see his little brown girl
proudly famous, honorablv distinguished
and respected.
In person, Miss Hosmer is peculiar and
pleasing. Without being handsome. her
face is very bright, her figure well deyel-
oped and lightly proportioned her mouth
expresses great decision, her hair is worn
short and curling. Her manner is free,
spirited and independent, but always re-
fined and lady-lke. She is really the
most unaffected person ever saw. You
know, too, when you look at her, that she
is as true as steel-a real, good girl as
they say in Massachusetts,, and yol. might
say worse thing. Home Journal.

A SPIRITED BR1DE.-A couple were
going to be married, and had proceeded
as far as the church door. The gentleman
then stopped his intended bride, and thus
unexpectedly addressed her: ''My dear
Eliza, during our courtship l have told
you much of my mind, but l have not
told you the whole. When we are mar
ried [ shall insist upon three things"
+" What are theys" asked the lady. an
the frst place." said the bridegroom, 81
shall sleep alone, l shall eat alone, and
find fault where there is no occasion. Can
you submit to these conditions Z" 80.
yes, sir, very easily" was the reply, "for
if YOU sleep alone, l shall not; if you eat
alone, shall eat first; and, as to Your
finding fault without occasion, that [ think
may be prevented, for | shall take care
that you shall not want occasion" The
conditions being thus adjusted, they pro-
ceeded to the altar, and the ceremony was
performed.

Material for a Romance.

A letter from friend informs us Of
the marriage at Baltimore, of two of the
rescued from the Central America. Both
parties became mutually attached to one
another on board the steamer, and on the
very evening preceding the disaster, set
tied their affection with the usual "vow."
When the gale came on and the panic
was at its height, the young lady threw
herself into his arms and, with galantrv
quite becoming the romantic occasion, the
gentleman impressed her brow with one
of Tennyson's patent, soul-sent" kisses,
and slid her over into the first boat that
was lowered. He saved himself on a
plank. Upon arriving at Norfolk, the
lovers met. But the young man appear
ed strange. He had lost his valise, and
all has money. The young lady assured
him that money was nothing. Inc young
man shook his head and looked sad, as
much as to say,-"now, maybe you think
So" "But," said the devoted one, 81
have enough. Fear not. Father has
two hundred thousand" "Ah" gasped
the affianced bridegroom, 1--WE speak novel
fashion, to give Bonner chance to make
a point and he looked extremely pliloso-
phical, but said no more. They suddenly
vanished, and we suppose they are now
enjoying all the blessings of matrimony,

Chicago Tribune for 1857.

NNHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is bold, earn
Il. est and straightforward Republican paper,
devoted tothe cause of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle ofthe Repub-
lie it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gress of 1887, that "Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now free,
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free,
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised on the
side of Freedom.
THE TRIBUSE AS NEWSPAPER.
The City of Chicago has become the news
centre, as well as the Commercial emporium,
of the great Northwest. The vast system OF
railroads terminating in it, afford facilities for
gathering intelligence from all directions with
great dispatch, and the Tribune is unrivalsed
in the West for its enterprise in this department
It's long and spacious columns are filed with
fresh and entertaining matter ,en bracing essays,
tales, letters, narratives. poetry, politics, and
miscellaneous articles. The Tribune is elevated
in moral tone, and eminently adapted to the
gent, freedonl-loving families.
THE TRIBUNE AS COMMERCIAL PAPER.
The Tribune is the best commercial paper in
Chicago. No expense OF labor is spared to
make its market reports reliable and satisfac-
tory, not only fer Chicago. but for the princi-
pal eastern markets. The Chicago quotations
are based on actual sales.

TENHE Forty ninth Volume Of the Knieker.
Il booker Magazine will commence with the
number for January, and it is the intention o.
the Publisher to make great additions to the
literary merits of the work
We take it for granted there are but few mag
azine readers in the country who are not faml-
lar with the authors of st. Ledger, and the
Sparrow Grass, both old contributors to the
Kickerbocker. We are pleased to be able to
announce that they will both write for our
magazine the coming year. Mr.. Cozzens wiz
contributes new and really original Story,
which will appear in every number; and Mr..
Kimball will furnish Sketch or Story as Off
en- as his other duties willpermit.
We have now two contributors not excellea
by any writers in the country, namely, Rev. F.
w. Shelton and Charles G. Leland. The first
known as our "Up-River Correspondent" has
written series of Letters, a part of which have
been issued and extensively sold in beautiful
illustrated volume, and the latter is now writ.
ing series of Observations of Mace Slopes.
which delight all who read them. These will
be continued regularly, and Mr.. Shelton will
give a Sketch or a Letter each month.
We have also several highly accomplished
Lady Contributors, whose favors will grace our
pages regularly, and whose names we would
be glad to publish, if we were permitted to
do so.
With these and other contributors, and the
Table of Mr.. Clark, whose long experience has
made him an, fat in his department., we shall
be able to present a monthly literary treat so
varied that no refined taste can fail to be graft
fed. Weonly ask to bejudged on our merits
after fair trial.

THE UNSEEN BATTLE
zi sss~se ns FIELD.

-.s9H Tff - .lt.s 6 .,s +
There is an unseen battlefield,
In every human breast,
Where two opposing forces meet
And where they seldom rest.
Tn: fields veil'd from mortal sight,
,Tis only seen by One
Who knows alone where victory lies,
When each days fight is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce
Their chief of demon form;
His brow is Ike the thunder cloud,
His voice the burning storm.
His captains Pride and Lust and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
Is buta little band;
Yet there with an unquailing front,
Those warriors firmly stand!
Their leader is of God-like form,
OF counteuance serene:
And glowing on bis naked breast.
4 simple cross is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hop, aul Love
Point to that wondrous sign;
Aud gazing on it, all receive
Strength from q source divine.
They feel it speaks glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
That to be yictors, they must learn
To love, confide, endure.
That faith sublime, in widest strife,
Imparts holy calm;
For every deadly blow, shield,
For every wound, a balm.
Aud when they win that battlefield;
Past toll is quite forgot;
The place where carnage once had reigned
Becomes halIowed spot.
A spot where flowers of JOY and peace
Spring from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume of their praise
On every breeze to God.
