The Suttee.

An India journal gives the annexed
account of a suffice case which recently
occurred in the Cawnpore district:
Word was brought by the woman 5
brother, on the 18th of April, that her
husband was dead. The widow showed
great emotion, and began to cry, SUIT
Ram, SUIT Ram" repeatedly, at short
intervals, announcing her intention to
sacrifice herself. The Pundit of the
family being sent for, advised the test to
be applied, viz that her hand should
be placed over lighted lamp, to see if
she could stand the pain. The lamp
was brought, the widow herself placed
her hand over the fame, and kept it
there until it was blackened and bis
tered, declaring that she felt no pain ;
she was then declared worthy to perform
the sacrifice \ large number of neigh
bors assembled, and there appears TO
have been a good deal of apprehension
among them at this time, as to the con-
sequences which would ensue if the sut-
tee should take place. The members of
the woman's family declared they would
not allow it, as it was the q Angrezi
amui, and the result might be serious
to them. The matter was left undecided
that day, though the widow herself never
seems to have faltered in her determine
ton
The widow continued throughout the
day to chaunt Suit Ram, will 90 and
burn with my husband Toward even

boon of piece of land for the sacri
fee. At last one of the Thakoor pres

consequences what they may, notwith

who prophesied the danger of the pro

That is my iathsriana
WHY weeps the rnInstTel's fs.heIlard-
Becsuse d tyraut' stormy word,
Her princes trembling all have heard,
Nor sacred oatus 10 break have feared,
Nor heard oly out he patriot band,
That weeps my faiherland.
Nynom calls the rainstIel's fathsrlsnd?
she calls upoa the silent gods,
I'm thunder tones that shake ner sod''
T-nou her free lonl's seourging rods,
On Retribution's vengeful hand,
These eau my fatherland.
What would the minstreTs fstherlsnd?

The war hound hunt back 10 his lair,
And free, her own free sons 10 bear,

Those who saw Miss H9smer's two
sketches Of the Lincoln monument can
not fail to discover q certain resem blasce
Of the arrangement of the whole. The
principal difference between the two
monuments is in this, that Miss Hos
mer's suffers under the great geGeraliza-
ton of her subject, which made 10 very
difficult especially In the first SKETCH
where at height OF sixty feet the corpse
of Mr. Lincoln lay in a eofhn-tO under
stand what she intended by il, whilst not
one among 8 million can mtsundersiano
the German monument. II says what
il intends to say in plain words, whilst
one has to work himself through pro-
tracted allegory in the LlucOln monu-
ment before be reaches the heart Of Miss
Hosmer's problem. The mere external
arrangement of the whole is very near
the same in both monuments, Though the
German one seems to be more COMPACT
Z and comprehensive by one coup a. all.
Z The study OF Michael Angel IS great STAT
nary works is visible in both, though Mr..
3 R!etehell, the German artist, seems TO
have penetrated deeper into the thought
