The last notion of fashionable
women in Paris is to carry hand

and ribbons, in Charles the Third
style.
Notes of the recently discovered
forgery on the Bank of England
appear to have been extensively
circulated in America, and some of
them continue to arrive by almost
each steamer from there.
Mr.. Bishop, the Englishman ar

communications between Naples

The California papers record the
death of Mr.. James Donohue, one

The. M0alidc Russo mentions q
rather singular piece OF economy
effected in the expense of its print
ing by the suppression of the e
mute, which in Russian writing is
added to every syllable terminating
with a consonant, but which is of
no use in the pronunciation. The
suppression of this letter makes a
saving of 8 per cent. in the compo-
sition of this journal, .. W. .
The ship Hippolyta, which has

AS in a dream had Clotilde stood
in thelittle cabin saloonbyhis side,
had listened to the impressive mar
and the .foryent re-
sponses, which formed marked
contrast to her own faltering tones.
As one in dream had she received
the solemn blessing of her old pas
tor and seen him depart for shore.
Then for the first time she met the
tender, woeful eyes that were bent
upon her. The watchful care, the
enduring patient hope, the strong
true nature of a lofty manhood,
pcrvaded by the most devoted and
impassioned love, looked out from
those eyes. No longer in a dream
she met their rays and felt their
meaning. No longer in a dream,
any heart, bid thee answer
How are loves marvels wrought?
Two hears by one pulse beating,
Two spirits and one thought! +
"And tell me how love comcth
'Tis here !-unsought unsent."
Unsought, unscnt, the mysteri-
ous guest had entered her SOUL
The marvel was wrought in this
moment of solemn, silent commun'
ion. In this hour she began to
love him. A low, deep voice broke
the silence at last in words which
she will not soon forget.
"Clotilde,' it said, Il had lost my
faith in life-in men and in wo'
men-when your voice reused me
AT first l was blinded by the out
ward signs Of beauty and. condition
but whsn [ heard you proclaim tho
lofty sentiments of loyalty anc
truth. utterly forgetful of persona
risks; when saw you bearing wit
such gentle courage the pains o
your generous deed, and listenot
to the tones that said, My fathe
eXiled himself for froedom-I too
if needful, am willing to suffer eX
lie for the cause Of frecdom,' [ go
back my faith again. From you,
believe in liGc-in man and in wo
man"
Again there rose to her mind
"By thy words shalt thou be justi
: fed, and by thy words thou shall
be condemned"
Though she suffered exile ye
were her words justified and he
heart content.
