occasionally brought misery on the children,
the class seemed to be comfortably provided

peasantry- One tenant of q somewhat larger farm

MISS HosMER'S ZENoBIA.
From the Home Journal.


Your entertaining journal seldom fails in cor
dial recognition of whatever indicates progress
sive tendencies in the education and character
of women. Therefore, you cannot be otherwise
than deeply interested in Harriet Hosmer, spir
itualy the twin.sister of Rosa Bonheur, of whom
one of your correspondents lately gave such a
graphic and lively sketch.
When l parted from Miss Hosmer, on her
return to Rome, in 1857, her mind was COM
petely occupied with planning statue of Ze-
nobia in chains, as she appeared in the triumph
oil procession of Aurelian. The personal beauty
and proud bearing of that great Queen of the
East rendered her an admirable subject for scnlp
ture; and the costume of the place and period
was also extremely favorable to artistic pur-
poses. But the earnest young sculptor foresaw
many obstacles In the way of success. The
action of walking would obviously be very diff
fcult to render gracefully aud naturally in mar
BILE; and it required genius to conceive and
embody the expression suitable to the Majesty
of Palmyra under such painful circumstances.
| said to myself, " If my enterprising and ener-
gehc young friend accomplishes this task well,
she will assuredly deserve place in the worlds
history"
She has accomplished it WELL / am sure
that would be your prompt verdict, if you could
see photograph of the completed statue, which
| received from Rome last week.
She has worked at this great statue with such
intensity of purpose, and such untiring labor,
that physicians sent her into Switzerland to save
her life. The production is worth all the concen-
trated thought she has bestowed upon it. 1t
far surpasses anything she has hitherto done.
Many women, if they had accomplished hall as
much, would think they had right to put up at
the Hotel de rUnivers, and do nothing during
the remainder of their natural lives, but repose
on their laurels, aud be lionized by visiters.
But Miss Hosmer is not one of that stamp. Her
soul is so absorbed by an intense love of art,
that she will never be satisfied with any stop
ping place on the ladder of excellence.
The statute of Zenobia is larger than life size.
The head is covered with helmet, fashioned
like tiara in front, suggested by medal of
the Palmyrean Queen in the British Museum.
Under this, in keeping with the royal costumes
of the East, is a gemmed fllet, the ends of
which fall among her curls, and meet in q
pleasing line, the ornamented cinte crossed
upon the breast. The left hand clutches the
chain fastened to her wrist by manacles, in the
shape of bracelets. On the right arm, which
falls naturally and easily by her side, is visible
thin sleeve, looped up in the Amazonian fashion.
Over this first dress is shorter robe of thicker
material. The ample folds of rich mantle,
fastened on the shoulders with gems, breaks up
The monotonous outline of the more closely fit
ing garments. The whole costume is charm
ing combination Of Grecian grace with Oriental

JoYFUL REUNIoN.--The Richmond cores:
pendent of the Petersburg Express says
There was joyful meeting under an hum
bic roof in Sidney, Wednesday,. A young man
who has been absent from home for nineteen
years, and who was long since mourned as
dead, Unexpectedly knocked at his fathers
door, while the family were partaking of the
usual morning meal A beautiful sister. Just
attained to blushing womanhood answered the
knock, but of course did not recognise the
brother, he being mere lad when he left the
parental roof He then asked for Mr.. K, and
the old gentleman quickly appeared, but did
not recognise the long-lost son. The mother
now made made her appearance, and, scanning
the features of the stranger but for a moment
suddenly recognised the long-departed boy.
Shrieking Ny soni my SON her warm heart
became too full for utterance, and she swooned
away into the young mans arms. A neighbor,
who is my informant, hearing the cemmotion,
and not knowing the cause, rushed in. The
scene was indescribably and painfully affecting.
The mother still reposed unconsciously in the
arms Of her long mourned son the fathers
eyes were suffused with tears and the sister,
with two pr three young members of the family,
sobbed aloud. Ascertaining the cause of this
joyful weeping, sympathetic chord in the visit
ers heart was touched, and for brief period
all were completely overcome. He that was
lost is foundl,n
CHoATEs READING AND REILGroE.-The Gu
logy upon Rufus Choate given by Professor
Parsons, before the law school at Cambridge,
on Thursday last, was not indiscriminate, ac
cording to the prevailing fashion. He does not
think Mr.. Choate's studies took SO wide a scope
as some have supposed, aud is confident that he
did not read much metaphysics or religious con-
troversies. Mr.. Choate's stability in the faith
of bis childhood, SO gratifying to his pastor Dr.
Adams, is explained by a remark he made to
Judge Parsons, to the effect that, fortunately
for himself, certain belief had been implanted
in his mind in early childhood. There It stood
unmoved. And be was unwilling to listen to
