New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-08-28

EvLs or GREAT CrrrEs.-In cities the soul Of man
grows proud. He needs, at times to be sent forth,
like the Assyrian monarch, into green fields "a won
drous wretch and Weedlessn to eat green herbs and
be weakened and chastised by the rain shower and
winters bitter weather. Moreover in cities there is
danger Of the souls becoming wed to pleasure and
forgetfl of its high vocation. There have been souls
dedicated to heaven from childhood, and guarded by
good angels sweet seclusions for holy thoughts,
and prayers and all good purposes, wherein pi6us
wishes dwet like nuns, and every image was saint;
and yet in ifes vcissitudes by the treaehery Of oc
casion-by the thronging passions Of great cities
have becomed soiled and sinful. They resemble those
converts the river Rhine which have been changed
to taverns, from whose chambers the pous inmates
have long Departed and in whose coisters the foot
steps of Travellers have efaeed the images of buried
saints, and whose walls are written over with ribadry
and the names of strangers, and resound no more
with holy hymns but with reyelry and loud voices.
TLongtelloR.
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-08-28

Royal GoMEpY.-sophia Dorothea had set of
tured to wear in the presence of her arbitrary and
dispay-abhorrng lerd, She herself, however, had no
objection to array her fine person in costly ATTIRE and
upon one OCCASION during the kings indspOsition
she appeared at a birthday ball, at Monbjon,
adorned with these magnificent ornaments. The
evening was very gay in the absence Of the stern
MASTER the dancing and music were at their height
and the queen was deeply immersed in her game
when the announcement, The king is coming" !"
caused general CONSERVATION. The music ceased ;
the dancing stopped and the queen, as she sat,
hastily unclasped her jewels, and thrust them into
her pocket before the king had time to withdraw his
angry gaze from the brilliantly and extrayagantly
lighted apartment, and perceive them.

compared her to the Catharine. Their relative posi-
tions considered the comparison is Just. On the
death of the late ruler Of Jhans she was chosen by
the people TO mount the throne. Not lacking either
spirit or ambition she accepted the offer and for
time ruled well. But the spark had touched the
train-Bengal was in a flame, and now or never was
her time TO regain that independence from the British

steps were-the blood of our feloWcreatures bears
witness to them and though some well meaning
gentlemen have endeavored TO show, and sincerely
hope with truth, that the atrocities attributed to her
were greatly oyerated, they still admit, reluctantly
that these poor creatures were only cut to pieces
Henceforth, of course, it was war to the knife She
became the very soul OF the movement in those parts.
Her forts were strengthened her men gathered to-
gefher in masses, stores laid in and every prepara-

rampart-wall, and men hung back in fear? there,

of a fiery storm. Jhansi overwhelmed, she fought
her way with her body-guard to Calpee. Here the
same determined will was seen, here the same spirit
shown Beaten, but not conquered, she rapidly fol-

the fall of Calpee, she had fought less than six ae

Rose in person. As before at Jhausi she was always
first at Gwai0r and even at the last fell sword In
