As Surrstt sits in Court, with hat removed.
We see his face moro clearly. small head,
long, glossy, light brown hair, brushed up
from a full fair brow small aquiline nose, 80
hollow at Its parting from the forehead that q
child's finger laid across would hardly 6li the
indentation; eyes grey, deep-sst, near together,
earnest, socretive, but with a good deal Of
composure, gained, perhaps, in so long daring
fate to do its worst mouth weak, half hidden
BY q light auburn moustachc, and long, mar
row-pointcd tuft of beard pendant from the
narrow chin. The faco is almost triangle,
narrowing down regularly from tho forehead on
each side to the pointed chin. .. .....
So tho young prisoner sits, slowly moving
palm fan, noticing each little detail in law
yer, witness and spectator, usually serene,
sometimes smiling, through the summer days,
while the scales vibrate, weighing his life or
death. What memories must crowd upon him
His youth at the Jesuit College; his deep zeal
for the rebel cause; his long night journeys
with information from Washington to Rich.
mond then with money and mess ages from
Richmond to Montreal running pickets; shot
at by scouts sad partings aud glad meetings
with his bethrothcd, who waits here to take the
stand and give her woman's voice for his life !;
the long Canadian hiding, going out only by
night and in priestly vestures; tidings of the
trial and execution Of his familiars of tho i'm
pending fate Of his mother for human natures
sake his council should prove their assertion
that he desired to come and save her, but was
not allowed then Of her ignominious death; the
secret ocean passages the concealments in Eng
land and France the half years service as q
n common soldier; talking everywhere Of the
one great subject that filed his thoughts his
arrest at the little Italian village; his leap of
thirty seven feet over the parapet to escape,
with the connivance Of his guards his fight to
Naples then up the Mediterranean no per-
manent refuge--no rest for the sole of his foot /;
his landing ut Alexandria TO find the flo OF
Janissaries waiting to arrest him again, and
st. Marie, like an aveugcr of blood, standing
by to identify him. Then ship board, prison,
manacles, and this long waiting for the verdict.

RUSSIAN ANERIcA.-Secretary Seward has
just made public a letter from Allen Francis,
United States Consul, and a number Of citizens
of the United States at Victoria, Vancouver
Island, congratulating the country upon the
Russian American purchase. Tho writors say
that, from actual contiguity to tho acquired
territory, they are able to state that the pur.
chase is of the greatest Importance, aud add I;
The climate Of the territory West Of the Cas-
cade range of mountains, and up to sixty de-
grees North latitude, and of the numerous is
lands bordering its Shores, is much milder'
both summer and winter, and much more plea
SAINT than that Of any portion of the New En-
land States or the Canadas.
It's immense forests Of pine are of incalcula-
bio value, the timber being much superior to
that of Oregon or Washington Territory,
while the numerous harbors along its coasts
will afford the greatest facilities for its ship
mcnt There are known to exist within
the limits Of the purchased territory many val
uble minerals among which are geld, silver,
copper, lead, iron, and extensive beds Of coal,
which will furnish an ample field for labor and
and rich specimens Of all the minerals enume-
rated are now in this city, which have been
brought from that Territory.
The agricultural capabilities of the country
are, no doubt, inferior to that of the States and
Territories lying South of it; still there are
large bodies of land known to exist, so far rs
the country has boen explored, capable Of pro-
ducing many of the vegetables common to
temperate climes of great excellence, and in
the greatest abundance, as well as most of the
cereals. ...r
Commercially, the new territory must be Of
value, on account of its comparative proximi-
ty to many of the teeming populations of Asia,
and its possession of most Of the natural pro-
ductions In demand by them rnust ultimately
create m extensive commerce.

THE LOST. FLAG.

Buried in the tomb of years flown by
TheFlag of the South now lies,
No more to wave where stand the brave
This side eternal skies.
The breeze that lifted high its Bars
Ger johnson. Lee, and Bragg,
Now gliding DER the Southern shore,
Does wave another Flag.
The Soldiers in gray who carried it long,
Ger fields of strife and gore,
In hopes of naught but what they thought
Was due our sunnie shore;
Now push the plow and raise the hammer
From dawn of day to night,
In which they know there is no foe
Can out them in the fight.
Though dead to view yet not to mem'ry;
The days of it are gone,
To come no more upon the shore
Which gave to them their dawn;
Yet as it were the glitterlng rays
Which made those hours bright,
Still kiss the flag of which we brag
With everlasting light.

Chinese Medical Practice.

The physician approaches the
sick room with courtesy and po-
liteness, and, having ascertained
the nature of the disease of his
patient, proceeds to prepare his
prescription. Their prescriptions
generally are vast compounds; ;
they 60 on the supposition, very
common with other practitioners,
chat it is best to give several REM
edies together, so that one or an
other of them will hit the case.
Sometimes they compound as ma
ny as fifty or eighty different in-
gradients, stew them all together,
and then administer them. They
hardly ever prescribe less than
fifteen or twenty simple medicines.
The physician is not SO much a pre-
scriber as seller of medicine. He
tells his customers what he thinks
best for them, or their friends, but
it is very frequently the case that
they make the selection. For In
stance, he may make up prescrip-
ton of ten or thirty remedies to
be compounded, when the ques-
ton will arise, how much Is this
to cost? The physician makes as
low an estimate as possible, and
replies. The patient or friend
may think it too high-that it can
not be afforded, and one article or.
another is thrown out to reduce
the cost-often the article most
valuable for the patient. In some
cases they cannot agree on the
prescription, or its price, and the
patient deliberately gives himself
up to die rather than to pay the
price demanded.

sued for release from the connu-

Let Each for Each a Beacon be.

The world is great busy, bust
ling workshop and there are none
of us so lowly, none SO elevated
but we must perform our part in
the running of its intricate ma
chinery. Manifold and widely
different are the laborers therein,
there mingle the aged and the
young, the weak and the strong,
the rich and the poor, the sinful
and the sinless, each performing
some part be it great or small in
the business transactions of the
stupendous compact. Each in
proportion to his application is
accelerating or retarding the vast
WheeIwork of human enterprise
and greatness. Darkness and
gloom are not the surroundings of
all in this vast workhouse, for there
are brave, youthfullaborers whose
sun of hope ever brightly glows,
lightly bound their springy foot
steps, blithely comes their CHEEKY
laughter and warmly, truly beat
their hearts with the hopelight
and lifelight of youthful courage
and enthusiasm. Slow-stepplng
experience has not yet raised the
rosy vail that hides life's blood
stained battlefield, and oh! how
boldly and impetuously they spring
to the scene of combat But
there are many, very many pale
faced, fearful toilers who faln would
lay aside their weary work and
toll and weep and wall no more.
To them how sweet 'twould be to
close the fearful eyes, to rest the
aching limbs, to fold the thin,
toil-spent hands meekly DER the
patient breast+how sweet to
soothe in sleep the earth-weary,
broken spirit and nevermore be
summoned by the stern roll-call
of duty and necessity. To these
many may Heaven be merciful!
Yes the world is a workshop
and life is a day of toll and a0e
are the laborers-ah, woe to him
who waiteth till the setting of the
sun and the gathering of evening
shadows to address him to his
allotted task! The sun will 60
down and the evening shadows
thicken fast, but the courage and
hope of the early morn are gone,
and with them the power and the
strength wherewith to work
All! sorrowful and broken indeed
will be the lamentation of such
an one-though in the eleventh
hour his spirit should grow willing,
his lamp is nearly out, his hands
will 90 down and who will be the
kindly.Aaron or Hur to stay them
up? We are all creatures OF
limitation, tenaciously clinging to
the robes of those who precede
us-and unwilling to turn aside
from the beaten track since the
feet that make new footprints are
sure to find new thorns. The
busy little ant which has SO often
shamed ''repose-loying man" with
it's untiring zeal and energy Illus
Itrates much in human nature
WHO has not while reclining IN
some cooling shade watched with
lhalfclosed dreamy eyes a long
