THE WHITE sRRPENTs AND THE IRON CHEST.
We then resumed ourjourney and, having
lunched and dined on the way, arrived in the
evening at lovely village, the name ofwhich
| entirely forget. 1t was situated, however,
high up in the mountains so that, as night
came on, we felt the cold, biting air, just as
one feels it in the Alps and were right glad,
on entering the inn parlor, TO find blazing
fire on the hearth. Here we supped and the
captain and sat talking by the chimney cor
ner long after the rest of the company had
retired to bed. lie was remarkably pleas
ant companion, full of stories and anecdotes,
by his manner of relating which he amused
me greatly. Most of them turned on Incl
dents which had occurred during his residence
in Swiss chateau. But can scarcely venture
to tell them again, so much of the interest
depended upon his manner, on the tone of his
voice, and on the earnest, half-confldential air
he assumed during the narration. We had
each just lighted fresh cigar, and stirred
the fire up into rich, warm blaze, when,
drawing his chair closer to mine.

my chateau, and the singular mistress of it.
She was an old lady, proud Of her birth, who
remembered with wonderful accuracy, the
achievements of her ancestors, and could
trace back her lineage beyond the earliest of
the Crusades. Observing me to be rather ad-
dcted to astronomy, she took it into her head
that must also be an astrologer and con-
jurer, and was fully persuaded that was an
adept in all the mysteries OF the black art
She inhabited oneiwing Of the chateau, the
remainder of which she had let to me, at a
rent much below its value, merely for the
pleasure of having neighbor with whom she
could sometimes converse.
Zone winter night, very late, my man
Francois, came into my study, to inform me
that Madame la Comptesse wanted to speak
with me. Show her in, said l and, with
the word, got up to receive her.
"she entered with most stately air.
presented her a chair by the fire, and began,

Poetry.
POLAND SHALL BE FREE.
ny JAMES MONTGOMERY.

A voics was heard on MoscOw's walls,
Quite audible and plain,
And from the ancient Kremlin's Halls
Was echoed back again;
Twas Freedoms voice on airy wing,
Proclaiming decree,
10 crumbling Potentate and King,
That Poland should be free.
Siberia's waste caught up the sound,
Her wild winds sang it lon@
And many bondsman pass'd around
That war-inspiring song;
Youth and old age awoke Il. life,
To sing that joyful glee,
And heroes armed to prove in strife,
That Poland should be free.
Der Warsaw's heights the echo came
The Russian left his lair,
And fallen Poland woke in flame,
Again to die or dare;
Ten thousand sabres fercely cleaned
The world was glad to see,
What sceptred tyrants never dreamed,
That Poland should be free.
Circassia smiled-her arm was bare,
All bloody was hor blade;
She pointed to her vallies, where
The Russians kissed the glade;
Then from the hill-toIs cast her eye
Far DER the rolling sea,
And swore iu Freedoms cause to die,
Or Poland should be free.
Columbia heard that voice afar,
She saw their banners wave,
And o'er the field the car of war
Crush thousands in their grave,
And heartless in the havoc stood,
With fearless eye to see
Her sisters writhing in their blood,
To make brave Poland free.
