The subject of this book, the celebrated

"'"'n"oio hiSh NhiSu thlo CouHlIy idS pro-

influential in one Of the most interesting
periods of our hisory-that of the early
settlement of Kentucky. Boone is generally
acknowledged as the founder of the State
His having explored it to a considerable
extent; his leading the earliest bands OF
settlers; his founding Boonsborough, the
necleus of the future State his having de.
Tended this and other stations successfully

Hohow'y's Pills, a cure for sick headache

was, perhaps, one of the greatest sufferers
from sick headache and bile; scarcely day
passed without his telling the dreadful eff
fects of these formidable evils, he put him
self in the hands of the Doctors, but they
did him no good, in fact, he became worse,
until his suffering were more than human
nature could bear, and he almost sunk un.
der lhem; fortunately for him he commenc
ed using Holloway's Pills, which acted up.
on the system, cleansed the bowels; cleared
the head, and by persevering with them fol
eight weeks, thoroughly restored him to
health. He has ever since been entirely
free from these dreadful attacks.

plead guilty and make some important rev.

perfectly well known in ancient days that, of
our revolutionary worthless, none--no, not one
was nearer and dearer to the heart of the
chief than Robert Morris. His invaluable
services to the cause of American independ-
ence, at periods when we had neither a coin
in our treasury nor credit to obtain one, were
freshly remembered in the olden time and
claimed for the financier of the Revolution the
title of Public Benefactor.
Such was the Republican Court in the days
of Washington. Dignifed in its simplicity,
imposing from the grandeur of its associations,
it sheds a lustre on our early history, when
America, having consummated her great ex-
pertinent of self-government, gave her exam
pie to other nations and an empire to the
world.

From the Atlantic Monthly for October.
THE ARTIST PRISONER.


Here, in this vacant cell of mine,
picture and paint my Appeuine
In spite of walls and gyyed wrist,
l gather my gold and amethyst.
The muffled footsteps ebb and swell,
lmmutable tramp of sentinel,
The elenched lip, the gaze of doom,
The Understanding dungeon-gloom.
All Jade and cease, as, mass and line,
shadow the sweep of Apenine,
And from my olive pallet take
The marvellous pigments, flake by flake.
With azure, pearl, and silver white,
The purple of bloom and malachite,
Ceiling, wall, and iron door,
When the grim guard goes, picture DER.
Fen where his shadow falls athwart
The sunlight of noon, I've glory wrought
Lave shaped the gloom and golden shine
To image my cleaning Appennine.
No cruel Alpine heights are there,
Dividing the depths of pallid air;
But sea-blue fittings, far and fine,
With driftings of pearl and cOralline;
And domes of marble, every one
All ambered DER by setting sum-
Yes marble realms, that clear and high,
SO float i'll the purple azure sky,
We all have deemed them, DER and DER,
Miraculous isles of madrepore,
Nor marvel made that hither floods
Bore wonderful forms of hero-gods.
Oh, can you see, as spirit sees,
9on silVery sheen of olive trees?
To me sound of murmuring doves
Comes wandering up from olive-groves,
And fingers near by, while l dwell
On yonder fair field of asphodel,
Half lost in sultry songs of bees,
As, touching my chaiced anemones,
prank their leaves with duty sheen,
10 show where the golden bees have been.
On granite wall plant the June
With emerald grape and wild festoon,-
Its chestnut trees with open palms
Beseeching the sun for daily aims
In sloping valley, yelled with vines,
A violet path beneath the pines
The way one goes to find old Rome,
Its far-away sign purple dome.
But not for me the glittering shrine:
! worship my God in the Appenine!
TO all save those of artist eyes,
The listeners to silent symphonies,
Only cottage small is mine.
With POPPED pasture, sombre pine.
But they hear anthems prayer, and bell,
And sometimes they hear an organ swell;
They see what seems-so sanity fair
Madonna herself a-wandering there,
Bearing baby so divine
They speak of the Child of Palestine!
Yet /, who threw my pallet down
To fight on the wall of yonder town.
Know them for wife and baby mine,
As, weeping, trace them, line by line,
In far-off glen of Appenine
