To man the disappointment of love may
occasion some bitter pangs: it wounds some
feelings of tenderness, it blasts some pros
poets of felicity; but he is an active being );
he can dissipate his thoughts in the whirl of
varied occupations. or plunge into the tide
of pleasure. or if the scene of disappointment
be too full of painful associations, he can
shift his abode at will, and taking. as it were,
the wings Of the morning, fly to the
uttermost parts of the earth, and be at rest.
But womans is comparatively fixed, Sc
cuded and meditative life she is more
the companion of her own thoughts and
feelings; and if they are turned to ministers
of sorrow, where shall she look for consola-
ton? Her lot is to be wnoed and won and
and if unhappy in her love, her heart is like
some fortress that has been captured and
abandoned and left desolate.

ROSE-BUDS.
BY HENRY TINRoD.

Last night, she wore them on q breast
Where love hath made his sacred nest,
And shrined me as life long guest.
Near that chaste heart they seemed to me,
Types Of far fairer flowers 40 he,
Tine rose buds of human tree.
Buds that shall bloom beside my hearth,
And there be held of richer worth
Than all the .kingliest gems of earth.
All me the pathos of the thought!
l had not deemed she wanted aught,
Yet what tenderer charm it wrought!
know not if she marked the fame
That lit my cheek, but not from shame,
When one sweet image dimly came.
There was murmur soft and low,
White folds of cambria parted slow,
And little fingers played withssnow!
How far my fancy dared to stray,
A lovers reverence needs not say;
Enough the vision passed away
Passed in mist of happy tears
While something in my tranced ears
Hummed like the future in seer's

Last night read some passages from the Mid,

KING sOLOMON's BLACKSMITH.

And it came to pass when Solomon, the
son of David, had finished the Temple of
Jerusalem, that he called unto him the
chief architects, and the head artifcers.
and oSJinfnS -worhers IN silver and golG,
and in wood, and in ivory, and stone-yea,
all who had aided in rearing the Temple
of the Lord-and he said unto them:
"Sit We down at my table, have pre-.
pared feast for my chief workers and
cunning artiticers. Stretch forth your
hand, therefore, and eat and drink and be
merry. Is not the laborer worthy of his
hire? Is not sklllful artifcer deserving
of honor9 Muzzle not the OK that tread
eth ont the corn."a
And when Solomon and the chief work
men were seated, and the fatness of the
land, the oil thereof, were set upon the
table, there came one who knocked loudly
at the door, and forced himself even into
the festal chamber Then Solomon, the
king, was wroth, and said:
"What manner of man art thou2"
And the man answered and said:
"When men wish to honor me, they
call me Son of the Forge; but when they
desire to mock me, they call me black
smith; and seeing that the toiling of
working in the fire covers me with sweat
and smut, the latter name, o King, is not
inapt, and in truth, thy servant desires no
better"
But" said Solomon, "why came you
thus rudely and unbidden to the feast,
where none save the chief workmen of
the Temple are invited 2"
please we, my Lord, came rudely,"
replied the the man, because thy servants
obliged me to force my way; but l came
not unbidden. Was not it proclaimed that
the chief workmen of the Temple were
invited to dine with the King Of Israeli"
Then he who carved the cherubim' said ::
"This fellow is no sculptor"
And he who inlaid the roof with pure
gold said:
Neither is he workman in fine met
ais"
And he who raised the walls said:
&" He is not cutter of stone"
+ And he who made the roof cried out !:
"He is not cunning in cedar wood /;
neither knoweth he the mystery of uni
ting pieces of strange timber together"
say, Son of the Forge, why l should not
order thee to be plucked by the beard,
scourged, and stoned to death with
stones?"
And when the Son of the Forge heard
this, he was in no sort dismayed, and, ad-
vancing to the table, snatched up and
swallowed glass of wine, and said:
80 King, live forever! The chief men
of the workers in wood, and gold, and
stone have said that I am not of them, and
they have said truly. am their superior !:
before they lived was I-created. am
their master, and they are my servants"
And he turned him round, and said to the
chiefs of the carvers in stone:
"Who made the tools with which you
carve?" -... ...
And he said:
"The blacksmith"
And he said to the chief Of the masons !:
"Who made the chisels with which the
stones of the Temple were-squared?"
And he said: &c.. -.a

HYMN OF THE MARsEILLAISE.

The Matseillais was inspired by genius,
patriotism, youth, beauty and champagne.
Rouget de Isle was an officer OF tue gar
rison at Strasburg, and native OF Mount
Jura He was an unknown polt and
composer. He had pleasant friend
named Dietrich, whose wife and daughters
were the only critics aud admirers OF the
soldier poets song One night ne was at
supper with his friends family, ami they
had only coarse bread and slices q ham.
Dietrich, looking sorrowfi lily at De Lisle,
said: "Plenty is not our feast, bat we
have the courage of soldiers heIrt; l
have still one bottle left in the CELLAR
bring it my daughter, and let us drink to
liberty and our country
The young girl brought the bottle; it
was soon exhausted and De Isle went
staggering to bed he could not sleep for
the cold, but his heart was warm and full
of the beatings of genius and patrlstism.
He took q small clavicord and tired to
compose a song sometimes the wordswere
composed tirst-sometimes the air. Di-
rectly he fell asleep over the instrument,
and waking at daylight, wrote down. what
he had conceived in the delirium OF the
night. Then he walked the family, and
sang his production; at. first the women
turned pale, then they wept, then burst
forth i'll cry Of enthusiasm. 1t was the
song of the nation and of terror.
Two months afterwards Dietrich went
to the scaffOld listening$te Ire seq (artae
GSelIsis, ec-:i]oeeu under his own roof and
by the inspiration of his last bottle of wine.
The people sang it everywhere; it flew
from city to city, - every public orchestra.
Marseilles adopted the song at the open
ing and close OF its clubs-hence the name,
Hymn of the Marseillaise;" then it
spread all over Franco. They sung it in
their houses, in public assemblies, and in
the stormy street convention. De Isles
mother heard it, and said to her son,
What is this revolutionary hymn, sung
by bands of brigands, with which your
name is mingled2" De Lsle heard it,
and shuddered as it sounded through the
streets of Paris, and rung from the Alpine
passes, while he, a royalist, fled from the
infatuated people, frenzied by his own
words. France was great ampitheatre
of anarchy and blood, and De Isles song
was the battle-cry.
There is no national air that will COM
pare with the Marseillaise in sublimity and
power; it embraces the soft cadences full
of the peasants home, and the stormy
clangor of silver and steel when an empire
is overthrown; it endears the memory of
the vine drcsser's cottage, and makes the
Frenchman, in his exile, cry ola belle
France!" forgetful of the torch, and sword
and guillotine, which have made his coun
try spectre of blood in the eyes of ma
tions. Nor can the foreigner listen to it
sung by company of exiles, or executed
by band of musicians, without feeling
that it is the pibroch of battle and war.
