These are three pretty and entertaining
volumes published by Brown. TAGGARD &
CHASE, of Boston, and especially adapted for
HOLIDAY PRESENTS to young readers of both
sexes. The first one is of higher character
than the other two, and will give good deal
of interesting information to older r.ons
respecting the Swiss, their origin, and the
romantic and bloody incidents of their histo-
~. In the ether two, rural scenes and incl
dents are prettily blended with sentiment and
fancy touches in a way to arrest the atten-
ton and give pleasant impulse to the i'm
aginations of the little folk. They are all
beautifully printed, and are adorned with
effective and tasteful cuts

DEArH OF TuoMAs De QUrNcEY late
English arrivals announce the death of Thom-
as D Quincy. on the 9th of December, at
Edinburgh, where he had been residing for
a few months superinten ing the publication
of an edition of his works. Mr. De Quincey
had been long eminent for his varied and pro-
found learning, for the acuteness of his crit
cisms, the penetrate n Of his intellect. the
sweep of his Imagination and the marvellous
power and life with which he used the Eng
lish language. No one prose writer of
English 50 far as we know. ever showed the
cap bilities of the English language in so
many forms and at the same time in such
perfection, as Thomas De Quincy.
At an early period of his life he became
addicted to the use Of opium to degree
which almost destroyed him, and which
brought on a diseased state of body, flOm
which-ll,hough be abandoned the habit
which brought it on-he never recovered
The Opium Eater, small volume of sur
passing interest, in which he narrated the
circumstances under which, in his early
youth, he began the use of opium-and des-
cribed its effects on his mind and body, was
the first of his publications which brought him
b-fore the American readers. Within a few yrs
past his writings, scattered throughout the
wide range of English and Scotch magazines
and many of them almost forgotten by the
author, have been gathered for the first time
through the enterprise of a celebrated pub
lisling firm of BostOn-that of TicknOr &
Fields. They have issued the volumes from
year to year, as the articles which compose
them were brought to their notice, and un-
der the special appreciation of their author.
The entire set consists Of twenty-five volumes
u mo forming a unique and lasting addi-
ton to English literature. Though of a
naturally frail constitution, and subject to
much disease, Mr. De Quincy lived to above
seventy years Of age.

An Is1sH STATION MAsTER.-Not long
ago the Troy and Greenfield Railroad Com
pany established a flag station at North
Wiliamstown, and installed a worthy ma
tive of the Green Isle as depot master. Pat
was duly instructed in the duties of his Of
fee, and. among other things, that whenever
there were any passengers to be taken up, a
red flag should be displayed. The next NOR
ming the red flag was waving. OF course,
the train brought up.
Where are your passengers, Pat?" sang
out the conductor.
"Sure, then, there are none at all -

Us. SENATE COMMITTEES.

A moments inspection of the list of Senate
Committees shows that the ruling party in
that body has not lost particle of the IN
fairness and illiberality for which it is pro-
verbal. There are "a Republicans and SO
Democrats in the Senate. The two Ameri-
cans (Crittenden of Kentucky and Kennedy
of Marvland) act with tho Democrats on
almost every question which would be party
one as between the Republicans and Demo
crots. In number the Republicans stand TO
the Others in the ratio OF 3 to 5, and to say
the least, in legislative ability they are in
ferior to none in the whole body. Several of
them them are men of large experience in
national business. Eleven OF the committees,
the most important ones, consist Of sevcn
memb-rs each. Only teO of the seven are
Republicans, and the last too in every case.
The other { mmittees are thos which have
no relation to the public policy, and but
slight one to the amount of public expendi-
ture. On thee the preponderance of Demo-
Gratis is not quite 50 great, though in every
Instance it is empowering, and in every one
the Republicans occupy the last places on the
Committees.
But this is not all. There are eight Dem
ocratic Senators from free States. Douglas,
Fitch, Bright, Rice, Thompson, Pugh, Lane,
Bigler. Their willingness to work for their
political masters of the slave States, is known
of the whole world. Yet not one of them is
trusted at the head of any Committee of i'm
portance Bigler is at the head of the Com
mittee on Patents; Bright, that of Public
Ruildings Fitch. that Of Printing; Lane,
that OF Engrossed Bills: Haun. that of En-
rolled Bills All other Committees have
Senators from slave States for chairmen.
That tells the story.

The secession Of southern medical stu
dents from the Philadelphia medical schools,
was made great affair at Richmond. On
their arrival there, they were received by the
faculty and students of the Medical College,
the Governors Guard, and an immense
throng of citizens. The procession marched
to the Governors mansion where an address
was delivered by Gov. Wise. Then they
went to the medical school and were received
by another speech from Prof. Gibson. There
was much shouting and waving of handker-
chiefs in their honor-the whole ending
with dance at the hotel. The movement
is deemed ridiculous one, even by southern
ers at Washington. Probably ID less than
a month they will be the laughing stick of
their own friends.

BROWN OF OSAwATOMIE

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
JONI BRowN Of Osawatomie
spake on his dying day:
II will not have to shrive my soul
A priest in Slsvery's pay.
But. let some poor slave-mOther,
Whom | have striven TO free,
With her children from the gsllows-stsir
Put up prayer for me "
John Brown Of Osawatomie,
They led him out to die;
And 10 "a poor slave-mother
With her little child pressed nigh.
Then the bold, blue eye grew tender,
And the old harsh face grew mild.
As he stopped between the jeering ranks
And kissed the negro's child!
The shadows Of his stormy life
That moment fell apart
Without, the rash and bloody hand,
Within, the loving heart.
That kiss from all its guilty means
Redeemed the good intent,
And round the grisly fighters hair
The martyrs aureole bent
Perish with him the folly
Ihat seeks through evil goods
Long live the generous purpose
Unstained with human blood
Not the raid Of midnight terror,
But the thought which underlies
Not the outlaws pride of daring
But the Christians sacrifice.
Oh never may yon blue-ridged hills
The Northern rife hear.
Nor see the light of blazing homes
Flash on tue negro's spear.
But let the free-winged angel Truth
Their guarded passes scale,
To teach that right is more than mig ht
And justice more than mail
So, vsinly shall Virginia set
Her battle in array;
In vain her trampling squadrons knead
The winter snow with clay.
She may strike the pouncing eagle
But she dares not harm the dove;
And every gate she bars TO Hate
Shall open wide 20 Love

THE SNOW STORM.

Fall, fall the feecy fakes,
The feather-like ar-like, crystal fakes.
Tae very sight of their coming makes
The air to tingle, with the merry jingle
9f the merry sleigh bells merry dinge,
VII n flies Ger the road, the well bestowed.
The laughter ringing, frolic-finging,
The mirthiul, singing, tumult-bringing,
The talking, jesting, noisy load.
lwn, down, over country and town,
Are the scattering snow fakes thickly strown,
Falling softly like eider-down.
7 think with delight, Of the robe Of white
Which will deck the earth like a yestll bright,
In exchange for her faded russet gown,
Her homely dress Of withered brown.
SpAngled and light, gemmed like the night,
Is the robe which is weaving to be her own,
And tonight will be gracefully over her thrown.
Oft, oft, gently and oft,
Come the futtering snow fakes down from aloft,
Floating and flying and feecy and soft;
Out from the sky, drifting rapidly by,
Down to the place where they quietly lie
Come they one by one, yet missing is none;
Not a floating speck, not ieathery feck,
But in the chase Of its downward race
Shall win its appointed resting place.
Pile, pile, silence the while
Far and around aud for many a mile,
Spreads the evenly scattered, snowy pile,
Over field, over fold, over clearing and void,
spotless and smooth and icy and cold,
Round the hut of the poor, round the rich mans
door,
Over mountain and moor,
Ger the grave of the dead, Ger the pillowed
head,
On roof and on ground, with never sound.
Drift, drift, heavily drift,
How the winds in their arms this snow will sift,
When the icy meal to their selves they lift,
How they'll toss it and twirl, and whiffie and
whirl,
And deposit at last with erinkle and curl,
In mound as white, as porous and light,
As the frosted cake which housewives make,
When to neighbor and friend summons they
send,
Their household comfort and cheer to partake.
Waste, waste, steadily waste
When the sun looks down in its face so chaste,
How twill glide aside from his gaze in haste;
How twill shrink away from the wind of the
South,
From the warmth of his breath, from the kiss
of his mouth,
Till will nothing remain, on the desolate plain,
But her mantle moist and dripping rain.
How she u pass away, in a mild decay,
From the wind Of the south and the noon-tide-
ray.
