ing from Germany, thus speal,s of
Antwerp:
1t is melancholy to see a city once
so wealthy and powerful as Antwerp
now so decaycd and deserted. Miles
of streets are empty and silent as the
campagna: the churches have half
dozen worSblpperS shopkecrers all
wear a depressed and hungry look,
as if customers were rare articles,

were more streets than horses. |

and was rcjoiced to have some one

ES The Paris correspondent of
the New Orleans Times says:
BeaWcgard is still with us, or
rather he is still in Paris, having
been called thithcr again. as l under
stand it, TO consider his refusal of the
offer OF the supreme military com
mand from the allaclia GOV
crnment. 1t is all-powcriul with the
Romans that Napoleon is no longer
adverse to the Generals acceptance
OF the position.
AS to the Generals own way of
thinking or intent, II concerning the
matter-wait and see. Certain it is,
the Romans are most anxious to have
him, and in their eagcrneSs have
made him very tempting otferS-the
title of Prince, to rank next to the
Hospodar, the sum Of 100000 down,
in hard cash, a princely salary, and
the supreme, absolute command of
all the military forces and retinue of
the ten principalities. II the Gene
raj should accept, his late compan-
ions in arms could, and doubtless
will, furnish body of officers that
would prove invaluable to the Rom
ans in the event of war.

SILENT INFLUEEcE.-The Rev. Albert
Barnes says: 1t is the bubbling stream
which Hows gently, the little rivulet which
rnns along day and night by the farm
house, that is useful, rather than the
swollen food or warning cataract. Mag
ara exctes our wonder, and we stand
amazed at the power and goodness of
God there as be "pours it from the hollow
of his hand" But one Niagara is enough
for the continent or the world, while the
same world requires thousands and tens
of thousands Of silver fountains and gen
ty flowing rivulets that water every farm
and meadow, and every garden, and that

gentle and quiet beauty. So with the
acts. of our lives. 1t is not by great
deeds. Ike those OF the martyrs, that good
is to be done, but BY the daily and quiet
virlnes of life. the christian temper, the

The finest thing that George D. Prem
iice ever wrote is this inimitable passage
1T cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our life
is bubble cast by the ocean OF eternity
to float a moment upon its waves, Fnd
sink into nothingness. Else why is It
The high and glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temple Of our
hearts are forever wandering unsatisfed?
Why is i. that the rainbow and the cloud
come over US with beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass on and leave US 10
muse on their faded lovliness? Why is
it that the stars which "hold their festival
around the mdnight Throne, are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties; forever
mocking us with their unaPproachable
glory! And finally, why is it that bright
forms Of human beauty are presented TO
our view and taken from us; leaving the
streams of our affections to
flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our
hearts We are born for higher des-
inv than that Of earth. There is realm
where the rainbow never fades: where
he stars will be spread out before US like
he ocean, and where the beautiful beings
Thich passed before US like shadows will
isy 10 our presence forever"

Gro1oh Of PtSeyism THE change in rel-
giOus thought and feeling in England is shown
in the performance of the Catholic masses of
Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven in English
churches and cathedrals. They are Just a lit
tie disguised-Englsh wOrdsare fitted to them,
and they are called services - as the high
mass in the Puseyite churches is called high
celebration
State of Europe Senior Editor of the
~ T. Observer, writing from Paris, says
"The atmosphere Of Europe is calm. Some
thoughtful persons think it the calm which
precedes storm, but | prefer to hope, as it
succeeds storm, that it is settled weather.
Prussia has declared, by its Prime Minister,
that it will keep its sword bright, and treasury
full, and so be prepared for any event This
is wise under the circumstances, but the sue
cess Of her arms in the late contest was so
great and the results SO desirable, that France
and England quietly acquiesce, and the smaller
German States not swallowed up by Prussia,
are rallying under her leadership, so that here
after Prussia will be Germany.
A Rare and Valuable Present-The Empe-
rOr Of France has just presented a valuable
gift to the Imperial Library, to which it is
well to call the attention of bibliophiles as It'll
already placed in one Of the glass cases i'll the
Galerie Magazine of that magnificent estab-
ment. This rare curiosity is a Bible, in two
volumes quarto, ON vellum, perfect chef
dourre Of calligraphy and illumination. 1t
was executed IN Europe in 1885, and thence
transported to Arabia, where it has lately been
discovered. On the margin is inscribed the
whole of the great and little -" Massore,
which, as you are aware, is a collection of
Arab criticism on the sacred writings The
first pages are written on rich purple ground !;
the twelve next appear, at first sight, merely
arabesques and interlacings of extreme beau
ty; however, on inspecting these ornaments
with microscope, one perceives they con-
sist of the whole Of the $50 Psalms of David,
transcribed in writing so minute that it re-
quires a powerful magnifer to decipher it,
each verse forming a separate arabesque.

writer's OF verse, in the British isles. This
statement he bases on authentic data.
