WAS MOSCOW BURNED.

30 story has been more generally told nor
more fully credited than that relating to the
destruction of the great city of Moscow, in
1872, by fire. Yet Moscow was not burned
Around the vast city is almost continuous
line of wood d-pile-various species of pine and
other woods. By the sias Of this, and also
reaching around the city, is an almost continu
Gus line of granaries. Here are the food and
fuel of the inhabitants, provided, in advance,
for the long and dFeary winters The Rus
siarrs set fire to the graDafies and the wood
pile and to many portions of the city. The
North After the battle of Boronido the re-
tiring pitch burned with resistless fury, des-
| troying everything in its neighborhood, and
rendering egress from the place almost impos-
sible The glorious old churches and palaces
of the ancient city of the North escaped, in
| the main, the deyouring element. The traveller
who looks upon the mighty structures, the
architecture of which is of the most varied
character betraying the labor, upon the SAINT
building in many cases, of heathen, Mahomo
dan and Christian denominations, will go away
convinced that he has been marvelopSly delu
ded by the stories of the destruction of Mos
cow He will naturally inquire how those
trees, which require centuries to grow, became
interlocked with huge piles of buildings which
he has been taught to believe have all sprung
into existence since 1872.

Rossuth and Ixia. Plan.

NJ Kossuth believes that She favorable
mcnt to strike for the freedom of Hungary is,
near at haud, but not yet. A London letter ef
June7th to the N Y Times, from a eosres-
pon,lent voucheI for ms possessing means Of OBJ
tanning the most reliable information, thus speaks
OF Kossuths movements and plans --s.I
Kossuth, with as many HungafiaDs as Ne
can collect, starts to-day for Genoa, where Sen
eral Klapka, Colonel Kiss, General Perczcl,
General Vetter, Colonel Yacz, Colonel Telcki,
and others await him. Variods are the sur
misses of .ne English journs'ists as to the con
diti3ns existing between the allies and the DIX
Governor of Hungary. The Gscts are these
Before the outbreak of the war Kossuth and
Klapka, making up their old difference, agreed
to act in concert for the benefit of the common
country, and the latter, on his return from TWr-
kew proceeded to Paris where he held fFegueRe
interviews with Psiace Espoleens and thenre To
Turin, where he was received with open arms
by Count Caveur, and also presented TO ths
King. After s1tndry propositions and refnsals
on one side or the other, kossuth at last offered
| to proceed to Genoa and there issue procla-
nation to the Hungarians calling on them 10
desert the Austrian army Ell mdsSe, he to organ
| ize the deserterS into II corps ana become It's
military chief When the number should reach
$4,000 or 20, 900 he demanded that with small
division of French troops, under French nag.
he should be authorized TO cross the Astriae'e
and the Austrian provinces into Hungary, ami
there promote insurrectiou. The only objec-
ton made to this proposition was the displeas-
ure of England at the double attsek on Austtis
without rhyme or reason, and Kossuth wsa
urged 10 make tour through the Provinces
bending all his influence with the Fnglish people
in the direction Of non ihteryestioa whatever
turn the war may take. This coarse he has beer
pursuing with great energy for some weeks
commencing in london with the Lord Mayor VI

FORCED aAxETx.

We have all read of the poor melancholic,
who, on applying to physician for a cure for
the mind diseased was advised to visit the
theatre and hear the witicisms and witness the
-drolleries of a celebrated comic actor, who had
s set the disabilities of the whole city to twitch-
ing Alas !! said the poor sufferer, am my
self the actor and while thousands are convuls-
ed with laughter over my wit and hu1nor, am
{ deyoured with melancholy.
~ His was not an isolated case in this strange
world, where men wear masks and make it the
business of their lives to conceal their real
selves from each other. OF all the sad things
asundet heaven, the saddest is a smile wTung
from lips that are trembling with suppressed
anguish IL is the hectic of disease; it is the
rose upon tho tomb, which hides decay and
saeor,aIption. And how often do we see lt-th1s
1nockcry of mirth, this joyiess smile, winch
the tell tale eye looks down upon with sorrow
= full reproof. -. -,
We see it in festal gatherings, glancing like
Iurid lightning, on the roses OF beauties lips
we see it in the proud, careworne faces OF those
who could not brook to receive pity, and are de
ter,,ined that the heart shall know its OWL
bitterness and stranger meddle not with III

What are the satiEes of Pope, but the forced

Most truly did Theodore Sedgwick say that
it is the man of robust and enduring constitu-
ton, OF elastic nerve, of comprehensive diges-
= ton. who does the great work of life 1t is
Scot with his manly form. 1t is Brougham
with his superhuman powers of physical endur-
aIree 1t is Franklin at the age of seventy, camp
ing out on his way to arouse the Canasias, as
our hardest boys of twenty now camp out in
the Adirondack OF on the Miramichia 1t is
Napoleon, sleeping four hours, and on horse
back twenty. 1t is Washington, with his
splended frame and physical strength.
Why not say, 1t is Paul, in bodily presence
weak 1t is Timothy, with often infirmi ties
1t is Baxter, never robust, never a well man.
1t is blind Milton. It is johnson, bravely car
rying through life the weight of a diseased and
suffering body. 1t is Chaning, with his frail
c1ayey tenement. 1t is the pale Amos Law
renee, scrupulously weighing from day to day
the slight morses of coarse bread which alone
his leblitated system allowed him to eat. II
is Adolphe Monod, uttering on his death bed
and under the pressure of torturing disease
words that shall be power among men in dis
. tlnt lands and in other generations.
