THE PURER PATH

ny j. C.. WHITTIER.
No bird-song foatcd down the hill,
The tangled hank below was still
No rustic from the birchcn stem,
No ripple from the waters hem.
The dusk Of twilight round us grew.
We felt the falling of the dew;
Far from us, ere the day was done,
The wooded bills shut out the sun.
But ON the rivers farther side
We saw the hill-tops glorihed-
A tender glow. exceeding fair,
A dream of day without iis glare.
with us, the damp. the chill, the gloom;
With them the sunsets rosy bloom;
While dark. through willowy vistas seen,
The river rolled IN shade between.
From out the darkness where we trod
We gazcd upon the hills Of God,
Whose light seemed not of moon or sun;
We spoke not but our thought was one.
We paused. MS If from that bright shore
Beckonod our dear ones gone before;
And still our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned from night;
The hills swung open TO the light;
Through their green gates the sunshine showed
long slant -plcndor downward flowed
Down glade and glen and bank it rollcdi
IL brigded the shaded stream with goldi
And, borne ON piers OF mist allied
The shadowy with the sunlit side
"So,r prayed we. "when our feet draw near
The river. dark with mortal fear.
And the night cometh, chill with dew.
o Father l-lct Thy light break through!
So let the hills OF doubt divide
So bridge with faith the sunless tidcl
80 let Che eyes that fall on earth
On thy eternal hills look forth;
And in thy bcckoning angels know
The dear ones whom We loved below

AN AMERICAN BARoNEr.-Sm Curtis Mi
randa sampson, the American who has been
knighted in England, was bern in Vermont.
The early life Of Sir Curtis was passed in the
hunting and fishing grounds, not only in his
native State, but in Canada and the Hudson
Bay territory. Married in Vermont, he went
to England in 1884 and permanently settled
there. In l84S he took the oath ofallegiance
and became naturalized British subject, and
was enrolled among the friends of law and
order who in that year did so much to pre-
serve unbroken the public peace. On his ar
rival in England he engaged in the business
ola furrier in Queen street, Cheapside, divid-
ing with the Hudson Bay Company almost
the whole of the home and foreign trade of
this country. Impressed with the value and
importance Of telegrsphic communication with
America, Sir Curtis Sampson was one of the
earliest directors and shareholders of the At
lantic Telegraph Company. and with the ex-
eeption of Mr. Fender, NJ. p, and Mr.. S Cur
ney, he is the only one Of the original direct
ors now connected with the old company.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT Al DERBY.
Dcrbyi the first town in Vermont, we be-
lieve to set the example Of erecting a Sol
diers' Monument which was dedicated with
appropriate ceremonies on the 3lst ult The
orator Of the occasion was Cen Z. +. Wash
burn who made most excellent address,
holding the undivided attention Of his audi.
ence.
The Newport Express says that Gen.
Washburu referred TO the conduct Of The w.
troops "a Gettysburg under Stannard and OF
the"Old Brigade" az Funkstown, as especial
ly noteworthy Illustrations Of the peculiar
merit Of Vermont Soldiers, and speaks OF
his whole GRAFTON as replete with eloquent
passages, closing with sedgewick's famous
order, "Pat the Vermonters ahead, and keep
tue column closed up"
Gen. Washbutn was followed by Judge
Steele, who spoke with his usual eloquence.
The monument bears the names Of men from
the sch, OH, lOth, and lth Reg'ts, as we'll
as from the cavalry and the Regis Of the I'd
Brigade. judge Steele, 10 referring to the
S.h, spoke as fellows respecting Lieut.. Spal-
ding, VINO, as a graduate Of the University
in 1860 is remembered by our cluzeus:
1--WE read the names Of eight Of its men,
and Of one accomplished and tficient officer,
Lieut.. S. f. spilding, brave aud spirited
young man, whose scholarly, gentlemanly
and sodieily distinction, and whose thorough
earnestness OF patriotic courage, are well re.
msmbered by many here, by some who saw
him foil az port Hudson"
The monument is of beautiful granite, and
does greai credit to the taste and skill Of the
artist. IL consists of stems base tablet and

Suddenly five Indians made their Appearance
Mrs. Donelson started for the house and
was intercepted by two Indians. Throwing

the apertures or 'chinks' oftho log house. On
attempting to cock her gun, Mrs. Donelson
found that the thumb of her right hand had

OF knowing that her would be murderers had

The Resoiution OF Congress Presented to
the 4 rar nv CO Mt ain FOa.

On the 9Th inst the United States Extra
ordinary Commissioners accompanied by
Gen Clay, the American Minister, had an
interview, at the palace of Peterhof, with
the Emperor, to whom Capt. q. V. Fox pre-.
scented the following address:
Sir: The resolution which have the
honor of presenting to your Imperial Maj
esty is the voice of people whose millions
of lips speak from single heart.
1.-The many ties which have long bound
together the. great Empire Of the East and
the great Republic Of the West have been
multiplied and strengthened by the unwavcr-
ing fidelity Of the Imperial Government to
our own throughout it's recent period OF con-
yulsion. The words Of sympathy and friend
ship then addressed to the Government at
Washington by command OF your Imperial
Majesty are fixed in the eternal remem-
brance OF grateful countryu
v. As our r If a' Sss that noSs
Of humanity which is especially ..sferred to
in the resolution of Congress. The peaceful
edict Of an enlighted sovereign has consum-
mated triumph over an inherited barba-
rsln which our Western Republic has only
reached through long years OF blOodsled
at Is therefore with profound emotion
that ! offer to your Imperial Majesty, to the
emancipated subjects, to all the people of
this vast realm, our heartfelt congratulations
upon the Providental escape from danger
which led to this spontaneous expression Of
regret for the attempt, and thankfulness for
its merciful arrest and failure,
"The story Of the peril from which a kind
Providence has delivered your Imperial Ma
iesty brings with IL the remembrance OF the
mighty sorrow which so lately filled every
loyaI heart in our own land at the sudden
loss of our Chief, our Guide, our Father
ave thank God that grief like this was
spared to our friends and allies, the Russian
people. >,
MAY the Father of all nations and all
rulers protect, prolong, and bless the life
which He has so signally preserved, Tor the
service Of the people to which il belongs, for
the good Of mankind and the glory Of His
holy name. G.E. Fox,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy"
