credit the intelligence, but the letter was ex
plicit, the summons home peremptory. go
will not, was the only coherent resolution ne
found; so the two put their heads together.
Miss Hosmer was the owner of handsome
horse, and an expensive English saddle; these
were doomed at once. The summer in Rome
itself, during which season living there costs
next to nothing, was determined upon; and
during those summer months, Miss Hosner
should model something so attractive that it
should insure speedy order, and, exercising
strict economy, start thenceforth On an indePend-
emit artist career, such as many of those around
her with less talent and training managed to carry
on with success. No sooner said than done;
the trunks were unpacked, the friends she had
been about to accompany departed without her,
her fathers reverses were simply and straight
forwardly announced, and she entered at once
on the line of industry and economy she and
her friend had struck out
The summer passed away, and neither fever
nor any other form of mischief attacked our
young friend. She worked hard, and modelled
q statue of Puck, so full of spirit, originality
and fun, that it was no sooner finished and ex-
hibited, than orders to put it into marble came
in. 1t has since been repeated again and again,
and, during the past winter only, three copies
have been ordered for England alons--one for
the Dake of Hamilton. Thus, fairly started OH
her own ground, Miss Hosmer has met with
that success which talent, combined with in
dustry and energy, never fails to command.
The winter before last, while the Cenci was
being put into marble, she was engaged in mod
cling monument to the memory Of beauti
full young Catholic lady, which is destined for
niche in the Church of San Andrea della Frat
tee, in the Via Meroede, close upon the Pinzza
di Spsgna. A portrait nll.length figure of the
young girl, life size, reclines upon a low couch.
The attitude is easy and natural, and the tran
quill sleep of death is admirably rendered, in
contra-distinction to the warm sleep of life in
the Cenci.
Miss Hosmer has been engaged, during the
winter just past, in modelling a fountain, for
which she has taken the story of H ylas descend
ing for water, when, according to mythology,
he is seized upon by the water nymphs and
drowned. Hylas forms the crown of the pyra
mid, while the nymphs, twined round its base,
with extended arms seek to drag him down
into the water below, where dolphins are spout
ing jets which interlace each other a double
basin, the upper one supported by swans, re.
ceives the cascade.
AT the present moBent, this talented and en-
terprising young artist is working upon half
life-size statue of Zsnobis, in preparation for
next winter, when it is to be modelled even
larger than life, and is already bespoken for
America. She is also just finishing a pendant
70 Puck, Will-o' -Wisp, which is wholly in
describable, and is said to be superior even to
Puck.

Union in a Slave State,

A great Mass Meeting was held at Do
yer, Delaware, June 10Th, to organise a
party to oppose the present Administra
ton. Not only each county but each
Hundred answering to our Townships
was represented. The party was named
"The Peoples Party" and the principles
adopted for its platform are, that the citi.
zens Of the Territories be allowed to settle
their own institutions and their own forms
of government-that the Constitution Of
every new State be submitted to the peo.
pie for ratification or rejection before be-
ing accepted by Congress-that tariff
for revenue be laid with incidental protec-
tiou to home industry-that when the re-
venue Of the government exceeds the ex-
penditures, such excess as may be derived
from the sale of the public lands, shall be
divided among the States-and the impor-
tation of foreign criminals and paupers be
prohibited. Many Democrats joined the
party,

By HON. HENRY Il. JACKSON, OF GEORGIA.

As die the emhers on the hearth,
And DER the floor the shadows fall.
And creeps the chIrping cricket forth,
And ticks the death watch on the wall
see a form on yonder chair,
That grows beneath the waning light
There are the wan, sad ieatures-there
The palid brow, and locks of white!
NV father, when they laid thee down,
And heaped the clay upon thy breast,
And left thee sleeping all alone,
Upon thy narrow couch OF rest,
know not why could not weep
The soothing drops refused 10 roll;
And Oh that grief is wild and deep
Which settles fearless on The soul!
But when saw thy vacant chair
Thine idle hat upon the wall
Thy boOk-the pencied passage. where
Thine eyes had rested. last Of all;
The trees beneath whose friendly shade
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth
The very prints those feet had made,
When last they feebly trod the earth
And thought, while countless ages fed,
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand,
Unworn thy hat, thy book unread,
Efiaced thy footsteps from the sand,
And widowed, in this cheerleSS world,
The heart that gave its love 10 thee
Torn. like a vine, whose iendrlS curled
More closely round the falling tree!
Oh father, then for her and thee,
Gushed madlv forth the scorching tears,
And oft, and long, and bitterly,
Those tears have gushed in later years;
For as the world grows cold around,
And things take on their real hue,
IT'S sad TO learn that love is found
Alone above The stars with YOU.

will bear testimony to the truth of this.
And yet, notwithstanding these facts, you

all necessary attention to dress, for this
is important. But, in the words of an
Apostle, ''lot -o-,on -doru themselves in

old exploded system of protection "a
means OF supporting the government by a
tax upon the working classes, which at
the same time pays bounty to capital
and a number of politicians rehashed the
old speeches on that subject with as much
apparent interest as though they were ut

always occasion schemes of desperate spec

that can be backed up with SO much mo-

starved population Of Massachusetts can
not live upon spinning cotton and aboli-

West, or to Ireland, and 60 to work and
raise grain, or potatoes. That is the true
remedy for "bard times" and the best
