Returned to warm existence-even as one
Sentenced, then blotted from the hesdsman's
book,
Accepts with doubt the life again begun
] leave the duress of my couch, and look
Through Casa Guidi windows TO the sun.
A fate like Farinats's held me fast
in some deyourng fit of fever-fre,
UNTIL from ceaseless forms of toll that cast
Their will upon me, whirled in endless eyre,
The Spirit Of the house brought help at last.
With Giotto wrestling. through the desperate
hours
A thousand crowded frescos must paint,
Or snatch from twilight's dim and dusky bowers
Alternate forms Of bacchanal and saint,
The streets of Florence and her beauteous towers.
Weak, wasted with those torments of the brain,
The circles Of the Tuscan masters hell
Were dreams no more but when their fiery strain
Was hercest. deep and sudden stiffness fell
Athwart the storm, and all was peace again.
She came, whom Casa Guidi's chambers knew,
And know more proudly an immortal now;
The air without a star was shivered through
With the resIstless radiance Of her brow,
And glimmering landscapes from the darkness
grew.
Thin, phantom-like; and yet she brought me rest,
Unspoken words, an understood command
In claspDg quiet wandering hand to hand,
And smoothed the folded cloth above the breast.
Now, looking through these windows, where the
day
Sbiaes on terrace splendid with the gold
OF autumn shrub, and green with glossy bay.
Once more her face, remade from dust, hold
In light so clear 1t cannot pass away
The quiet brow; the face so frsil and fair
For such voice of song the steady eye,
Where shone the spirit fsted to outwear
Its fragile house and on her features lie
The soft hall. shadows Of her dropping hair
Who could forget those features, bsring known
Whose memory do his kndiing reverence wrong
That heard the soft Ionian 6Ete, whose tone
Changed with the silver trumpet OF her songg
No sweeter airs from woman's lips were blown.
All. in the silence she has left behind
How mapy a sOrrowing voice of life is still
Songlsss she left the land that cannot find
Song for its heroes; and the Roman hill,
Once free, shall for her ghost the laurel wind.
The tablet tells you, Here she wrote and died."
And grateful Florence bids the record stand:
Here bend Italian love and English pride
Above her grave,-and one remoter land,
Free as her prayers would make it, at their side.
! will not doubt the vision: yonder see
The moving clouds that speak of freedom won!
And lie new lighted, with q lark-like glee
Through Casa Guidi windows halls the sun,
Grown from the rest her spirit gave to me.

OF Buffers scriptural quotation:
"In his opening speech in the impeach.

could not recall the name of its author.
He was preparing his speech in his Office

appealed for information. One gentleman
said it was used By Daniel in the lions

that used those words-old Stephen; that's
the man that used them. He made that

READ OUT.-The New York Independent
Of this week "recalls its nomination" of
Mr.. Chase for the Presidency, and says :
a short time ago We thought that the
greatest gift which this journal could offer
to the coming Chicago Convention was Mr..
Chase's illuStrlous name. We now have
reason TO believe that Mr.. Chase would not
accept the Republican nomination, even
if it we're rendered. We have equal rea-
son TO believe, also, that. he would accept
the Democratic nomination if it could be
rendered on a platform not inconsistent
with his weli-known views Of negro suf-
frage."
The New York Post, in commenting on
the above, hiuts that it is in the tone Of
Warwick, the king maker, and says:
There must be something seriously
wrong or rotten in the Republican party,
if it is true, as the Independent so point
edly asserts, that statesman OF as high
principles and great abilities as Mr.. Chase
is, stands ready to abandon it, and refuses
even to be its standard bearer. The hide
pendent filings Mr.. Chase away with quite
a royal air; but it will occur to many, not
Mr.. Chase's special friends, that party
has need to be rich in statesmen which can
drum out man like the Chief Justice"
