CHILDREN


The following charming little poem ia from
.ougfoIlow's new volume, just issued'
Come 10 me, o yo children!
For I hear you at your play,
And the qu estons thatDerplored mo,
Have vanished quite away.
Yes, open the eastern windows,
That look toward the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows
And the brooks Of morning run.
In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine
In your thoughts tho brooklets flow,
But IN mine Us the wind Of Autumn,
And the irst fall Of the snow.
All! what would tho world be 20 u8,
10 tho children we're no morei
We should dreod the void behind as
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are 10 the forest,
With light and air for food,
Ere the sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood,
That 10 the world aro children;
Through them it feels the glow
or a brighter and SUMMER clim
Than reaches the trunks below.
Como TO me, o 20 children!
And whisper IN my ear
What tho birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere
For what are oil our contrivinga,
And the wisdom Of our books,
When compared with your oaresses,
And the gladnesS Of your looks7
You are better than all Tho ballads
That ever we're sung or said;
For ys are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.

Tho War in Itaiy--Tta Secret origin.

The New York Herald publishes the
following letter, dated Turin, May 8:
Now that the die is cast and the war
fairly commenced, I am enabled to give
you what I could not before-reliable
information Of its real origin, which,
Notwithstanding all you have read in
French, English, or Austrian papers, Is
Is yet a profound secret. This war was
planned three years ago, and the move
ments which have resulted in the rev.
olutiOnary element Of Italy now uni
ting with the King Of Sardinia, we're
projected in 1856 by Count Cavour, his
Prime Minister, who established the
Italian National Society, for the doub.
le purpose of checking the schemes Of
Mazzini's party and rodeeming Italy
from Austrian dominion. This society
formed a committee in Turin, the presi-
dent Of which was Count PalIavioino,
from Milan gentleman of great wealth,
who suffered an imprisonment Of twenty
years in the Austrian dungeons of Smell
berg, rendered so famous by the history
Of Silvio Pelico, and the more circum.
stautial and unsparing narrative Of that
long tragedy, given to the world by
Andryahe tho companion Of the illus
trious Count Conialonieri. The vice.
president was General Garibaldi, who
after the defeat Of l849 took refuge 10
your hospitable city, aud since that
time abandoned the party Of Mazzini.-
The secretary was Ia Ferina, Prime
Minister Of Sicily in l848. This com
mittee formed sub-committees all over
Italy, from tho Alps to Sicily, and some
too, beyond the A lps Manin, tho Die
tator Of Venise in 1849, was at the head
Of the committee in Paris, and Louis
Napoleon and Prince Napoleon gavo a
their secret oountouanoo.
