AGNES OF SORRENTO,

The atlantic Monthly for May is on
our table; and is full of good things
which we have not time TO notice. Mrs.
Stoves eagerly looked for story, AGNES
OF SORRENTO, is commenced in this num-
Der. The following is an extract from
the publishers advertisement Of it:
The story is one OF love and duty, of
iov and trial. Its heroine is n young
girl, born in Catholic country and edu-
Gated under the influence of Catholic in
situations, and in the development of the
plot tho author has sought to illustrate
the i fuences of that creed upon the
lives and characters Of its votaries
From the il tense interest in this sub
iect which has been manifested by the
people of the United States within the
past few years, AID The fact that it has
entered SO Ia gely into the discussion of
the political as well rs religious cues
tons Of the time. it cannot be doubted
that Mrs. Stoves elucida ton Of it,
through the medium of fictitious nara
ii. @, will cause it to be as widely sought
for and rs eagerly perused as her pre-
vious brilliant contributions to American
literature have been.
We give an extract from one of the
opening chapters, which presents the
heroine, at about as early an age, as
heroines are usually introduced to the
public.
OLD ELSIE was not BON a peasant.
Originally she was the wife of steward
in one of those great families of Rome
whose state and traditions were princely.
Elsie, as her figure and profile and all
her words and movements indicated,
was of strong, shlewd, ambitious, and
courageous character, and well disposed
to turn to advantage every gift with
q bich Nature had endowed her.
Providence made her present of a
daughter whose beauty was wonderful,
even in a country where beauty is no UNI
common accident. In addition to her
beauty, the little lsella had quick int Hi
gence, wit. grace, and spirit. A, child
she became the pet and play thing of the
Duchess whom Elsie served. This no.
bic lady. pressed by the ennui which is
{, lways the moth and rust on the purple
and gold of rank and wealth, had, as 9th
err noble ladies had in those days. and
have now, sundry pets; greyhounds,
white and delicate, that looked as if they
were made of Seyres china; spaniols with
long silky ears and fringy paws; apes
and monkeys. that made at times sad de-
vastations in her wardrobe; and a most
charming little dwarf that was ugly
enough to frighten the very owls, and
spitefuI as be was ugly. She had, more

A WOMAN TO BE HONOR
E3ss.

It will be remembered that Lieut.. a b.
ner Smead, of the first ARTILLERY, was
sent, q few weeks since by Lieut.. Slcn-
mer. to Washington, to apprize the Gov
eminent of the absoll te necessity Of sup
plies and reinforcements at TT. PIckens.
Forget.u of all obligations of honor and
duty, Lieut.. Smead took Montgomery in
bis way Northward, and having submit
ted his dispatches to the persual of the
rebel authorities, proceeded to Washing

ing anticipated him, he was not shot. as
he deserved to be, but simply struck from
the roll of the army. The wife and chil
dren of Lieut.. Smead, with the families
of several officers on duty III the South,
were at Fortress Monroe. The Lieut.
FASTENED from Wash ngtoh to obtain bis
family, and remove them southwark, but
his movements were not S rapid but that
his crime had been reported before him -
When, therefore, he presented himself at
the Fort, he was refused admission, the
officer on duty declining ''to admit trail
tor" within Federal post; the only ia
vor conceded being that he might have an
interview with Mrs. SInead without the
walls. That interview the unhappy mis-
creant is not likely to forget. Attended
by few female friends, one of whom
furnished the accodnt which we give of
the scene. the lady met her husband,
and in terms of scorching eloquence, re-
preached him with his shame.
"Go home with your she excla med.
"Never! Our paths in this world are

band of mine! Henceforth you are to
me as if dead. AS long as | live | shall
wear mourning, and be rs a widow; and
rest assured | shall educate our children
to execrate and despise your memory as
that of recreant and traitor"
Turning at these words, the noble and
patr otto woman re-entered the Fort, and
gave way to her very natural feelings
We may add that Mrs. Smead is, like her
discarded husband, a native of Georgia,
and while the latter went Southwark to
obtain the reward of his treason, he

lackeys, and court-companons, who,. of
course. had always known just how the
thing must end.
As to the young Duke, he acted as a
well instructed young nobleman should,
who understands the great difference
there is between the tears Of a duchess
and those of a low-horn woman. No
sooner did he behold his conduct in the
light of his metber's countenance than he
turned his back on his low marriage with
edifyirg pentence. He did not think it
necessary to convince bis mother Of the
real existence of a union whose SUPPOSE
ton occasioncd such an uncommonly dis
agreeable and tenpestuous state of things
in the wellbr circle where his birth
called him to move. Being, however,
a religious youth, he opened his mind
to his family confessor. by whose ad,i1 e
he sent a messenger with large sum of
money to Elsie, piousIy commencing her
and her daughter to the Divine protec-
ton. He also gave orders for an entire
new suit of raiment for the Virgin Mary
in the family chapel, includinga splendId
set of diamonds, and promised unlimited
candles to the altar of a neighhoring con-
vent. If all this could not atone for a
youthful error, it WAS 4 pity. SO he
thought, as he drew on his riding gloves
and went off on a hunting party. like a
gallant and religious young noblenan.
Elsie, meanwhile, with her forlorn
and disgraced daughter, found a tenn.
pcrary asylum in a neighbc ring noun
tain village, where the poor, bedrabbed,
broken winged song-bird soon painted
and fiuttered her little life away.

Brother Jonathan's Lament for Sister,
Caroline.

She has gone.-she has left us i'll passion and
pride,-
Our stormy -browed sister, so long at our side!
She has torn her own star from orr trma-
ment's glow,
And turned OH her brother the face of q foe
o Caroline, Caroline. child of the sun.
We can never forget that our hearts have been
Our foreheads both sprinkled in Liberty's
name
From the fountain of blood with the finger of
flame
You were always too ready to fire at touch
But we said. "She is hasty;-she does not
mean much"
We have scowled, when you uttered some
turbulent threat
But Friendship still whispered, Forgive and
forget -
Has our love all died out ? Have its affairs
grown cold
Has the curse come at last which the fathers
foretold ?
Then aturc must teach us the strength OF
the ,:hain
That her petulant children would sever IN
vain.
They NAV fight till the buzzards ale gorged
with their spoil,
Till the harvest grows black as 1t rots IN the
soil.
Till the wolves and the catamounts troop
from their caves.
And the shark tracks the pirate, the lord of
the waves
7 =. = L. Wbar tic flryv : mast
Their fortunes must flow in one channel at
last,
AS the torrents that rush from the mountains
of snow
Roll mingled in peace through the valleys be-
low.
Our Union is river, lake. ocean. and SKY;
Man breaks rot the medal, when God cuts
the die
Though darkened with sulphur, though clo-
ven with steel
The blue arch will brighten, the waters will
heal
Caroline. Caroline, child Of tie sun,
There are battles with Fate that can never be
won
The star-fowering banner must never be
furled,
For its blossoms of light are the hope of the
world.
Go, then, our rash sister afar aud aloof-
Run wild in the sunshine away from our
roof
But when your heart aches and your feet
have grown sore,
Remember the pathway that leads to our
door.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

The following Is an extract from dis
course delivered by Rev. HENRY WARD
BEEcHER, in Plymouth Church, Sunday
evening, April 28th:
A thonghtful man when ne saw a ma
tional flag saw symbolZed the nation it
belonged TO. When the French tri col
or rolled ont to the wind, lie saw France;
when the new found f1ag of Italy was
unfured, he saw resurrected Italy; and
so of Others. This Union has a. banner,
too. Until recently, wherever it stream
ed abroad men saw daylight bursting on
their eyes. For until Iattorly the Amer
lean Flag has been the signal Of liberty,
not any flag npon the globe has had such
al errand. The stars npon It were to the
pniug nations Ike fhe bright morning
stars, and the stripes upon it beams Of
morning light. Wherever it goes men
behold in It's sacred emblazonry no signal
OF imperial authority, but they see
signals of light; is the banner Of dawn :;
and the poor oppressed conscripf, the
trodden down creature Of foreign d spo-
tisln, sees in the American F.ag that very
promise Of God-''Thc people that sat in
darkness saw great light, and TO them
which sat in the valley Of death, light is
/ sprnng up"
Under this banner moved Washington
he and his armies; before it Burgoyne
hid down his arms; it waved over West
! Point over Fort Montgomery, and over
another Montgomery it shall Yet wave.
It cheered our army driven cut from
round New York, in their solitary pill
image, through New Jersey, and at
Valley Forge. 1t cGossel the waters
roaring with ice at Trenton, and when
its stars cleaned in the cold morning
with victory, a new day dawncd on this
country.
II at flag means Lexington--it means
Bunker HI!--it means the whole cIori-
ons Revolutionary war. 1t means al
that the Declaration Of Independence
mcans-all that the Constitution means.
1t was ordained for the people by the
people, and God be thanked, that when
base degenerate men desire to set up cp
preston at war wit Ii all the instincts Of
American liberty, they could not do il
under our flag | thank them that they
took another flag to do the Devils work
and left ours unsull:cd. If ever the SEN
timcnt of the text has been fulfilled, it has
been in oar glorious banner. Thou hast
given a Tanner to them that fear them,
hot dnoy be displayed" and DISPLAYED
it shall be from the Atlantic wave clear
across, with eagle flight TO the Pacific;
that banner shall wave meaning all that
1t ever meant. From the North where
SHOWS and ice stands solitary, clear to the
Gulf and tropics, that banner has waved
and shall waye forever.
Look up to your own flag, and re-
member that it stands for Liberty, Lib.
erty, Liberty. If yon fall in that strug-
gle, may some kind hand wrap about you
the flag of your country, and t You die
mcy it be with its sacred touch upon you,
end sweet shall be your rest, lying in the
folds of your country's banner, meaning
as it shall mean, Liberty and Union, HON
and forever.
