Love fOr the Dead.

The Love that survives the tomb, says
Irving is one Of the noblest attributes Of
the soul. If it has its woes, it has like
wise its Delights and when an overwhel.n-
ing burst of grief is Gained into the gem
tie tear of recollection, then the sudden
angaish and convulsed agony over, the
present ruins of that we most loved are
sottened away into penslve meditation on
all that it was in the day of its loveines,
Who would root sorrow from the heart,
though it may sometimes throw passing
cloud over the bright hour Of gloom? Yet
who would exchange it for even the song
Of pleasure Or the burst Of revelry? No,
there is voice from the tomb sweeter
than song; there is remembrance of the
dead to which we turn even from the charm
of the living.

The Princess Anna, Of Denmark. one Of the
ladies spoken Of as the destined bride for the
Prince OF Wales, is just fifteen; very fair, with
mosSt brilliant complexion, and lovely fair
hair, clustering in thick curS about her neck aud
shoulders. Altogether she is considered one Of
the most accomplished Princcsses In Europe |;
and her portraits, in white muslin, with blue
ribbons, and single rosebud in her golden hair,
long formed one Of the greatest attractions Of
Giroux's exhibitions at the Boulevards. The
Princess Of llesse Darnstadt is not so well
known, but il described as being fair and

for great sweetness and amiabiIity of disposition

Palace at which the Princess Alice is to reside,
bears the reputation Of "a little paradise on
earth, because Of its undiSturbed harmony.
The Rev. Mr.. Gordon and his wife, Mission
aries, at Erromanga, were brutally murdered on
the goth Of May, by the natives. II appears
that the measles had been raging among the
islands with fearful mortality, and the natives,
ascribing the cause Of the disease to the presence
Of the whites, determined to kill them. On the
day above mentioned, Mr.. Gordon was lured
from his house by native, who led him into an
ambush, when he was suddenly struck with a
tornahawk and then hacked to death. Mrs.
Gordon, alarmed by the yels Of the savagcs,
went out to see what was the matter, tell into
the hands of one Of the party, who instantly
killed her.
