OPPRESSED WOMAN'S SOLlLOQUY.

THE SONGS OF OLD.
The songs ofold How deep spell
Lies in the old familiar words

In other days, III happier years
Visions Of hope long passed away
Come DER the heart SO lone and cold
And memory asks, "Oh! where are they
Who sweetly sung the songs of old ?"
Where are they? Some in silence sleep
Beneath the mournful yew trees gloom /;
Others within the boundlcss deep
Have early found an ocean tomb,
Dim are the eyes that gently shone,
The once warm heart lies still and cold,
And hushed for aye, forever gone
The volco that sung the songs of old
Where are thcy2 On some foreign strand
For many u weary day they roam;
Cheerlcss they tread the strangers land,
From hiends atar afnr from home.
Do they notlong- to join once more
The joyous dance, the social throng,
And minglc, as in days fyoro,
Their voices in the olden song?
Fondly the heart still loves to lnger

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsTEEN

Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm

Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence they had submitted
them to competition with Instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others,
at the celebrated Worlds Fair 1t is but JUS
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made

France and Prussia Renewal Of
the War Fever--NapOleOn Pre-
pairing fer a Fierce Struggle.

The apprehensions of war continue to
be on the increase. All the Bourses in
Germany are lower on account of them.
If there has been no considerable fall at
the Paris Bourse, it is only because the
Rente is almost at war prices already
Rumor of an alliance between France,
Austria, and Italy are industriously cir
fculated, and the Sultan is eagerly canvass
ed to join it. Considerable disappsint-
ment is felt that he Is not coming to pay
second visit to Paris, and that there
are no hopes Of seeing even his minister
Fuad Pachs. Temptations are being held
out to Sweden and Denmark to join the
French league. Prussia is rapidly pre-
pairing for the coming storm. A very
important symptom, among many minor
ones, that the division which Hesse is
bound to furnish to the Prussian amy
pursuant to the military alliance, and
which was not to have been organized till
October 1; is, by a recent resolution Of
the Grand Ducal government and the
Hesse Darmstadt Chamber to be formed
Immediately. The remarkable reasons
for his haste, publicly assigned by the
Hesse Minister of War,are that although
| it is impossible to p-edict with certainty
what events may occur next spring, it is
essential that the Hesse division should
be fit for active service by that time; aud
that it would be impossible during the
six winter months to have the extraordi-
nary levies thoroughly drilled with the
needle-gun and fully equipped. The
three months yet left of summer are felt
to be nessary for this purpose.
As Prussia is supreme in all matters
bmilitary throughout the Southern German
Confederation as well as in the north,
what istherule for Hesse must also be the
rule for Bavaria, Wurtemburg, &c. It is
most important that peoples as well as
governments should not shut their eyes
against evidence. The alarmists are now
the greatest friends,of peace. It is certain
that the French Emperor is meditating
war on grand scale, and it is equally
certain that the nefarious object is an
extension of territory, in order to restore
his prestige, grievsopsly damaged by the
Mexican failure, and to stife opposition
at the next elections. There is hope
that the good sense of the world may yet
baulk these designs, but safety lies in
constant vigilance and a keen sense of
the impending danger-Paris (Juy 2I
