The Voice Of Grief.

o rugged, toilsomc path Of thorns and briers,
OF weary, blco!ing feet
PooPled with shadows of unrcapcd desires,
And pleasures incomplete
Land Of unchanged sorrow for the dead,
Aud bitterness Of life.
Where noble lives by cruel hands are shed,
To win the field of strife;
Where Pain eternal, like the Alpine SHOWS,
Crowned above men and kings,
Broods dark us night, and from her bosom
tl.rows
Her arrows and her stings
Shall the sweet breath Of Summer sweep
tho earth,
And make it smile with flowers,
Yet leave to man the pcstientinl dcarth
OF ever w,thcriug powers?
Behold how Sorrow, wan lering through tho
world,
Wecps passionate tenrs Of blood,
And Charity upon the stones is hurled,
Crying aloud for good
The voice Of Grief picrces the Silent Laud,
Where victory is won
ls there no haven past Times dangerous
strand
No joy beyond tho sun?

Franco and America,

AN EXTRACT FROM THE MEMOIRS OF
PRINCE DE TALLEYRAND--FRANC
AND GERMANY.
A Paris letter in the Gazette dc Lau
sonns says:
"Y ou are aware that Prince dc Talley-
rand left some mem oirs, which were not
to be published till thirty years after his
death, and which are now in the hands
Of al eminent barsister, NJ. Andral. 1
have been able TO cast glance at them,
and am much surprised at their con-
tents. l was especially struck by a
page relative 10 the Congress Of Vienna.
lL's real prophecy, and l cannot re-
s'st the temptatio" Of giving you the
substance OF it, AT that period ii de
Talleyrand said that the balance Of
power IN Europe founded a, that assem-
bly was mcnaced by great dangers
one from beyond the sea, and the other
which might arise in the heart of Ger
many:
econ the side o: America, said the
Prince. Europe must always have her
eyes open, and not furnish any pretext
Tor recrimination or repr' sals. America
Is increasing every day. She will be-
come a colossal power, and moment
must arrive when placed in more easv
communication with Europe by means
OF new discoveries she will wish to say
her word in our affairs, and have hard
in them. Political prudence, therefore,
imposes on the Governments of Tho old
Continent the care of scrupnlonsly
watching that no pretext shall be offer
ed tor such an Intervention. The day
when America shall plant her foot in
Europe, peace and security will be ban.
ished Tor long time"
The Prince afterwards speaks Of Ger
many. Here The prediction has no lon
ger the form Of a conjecture, but is in
some sort an anticipated recital:
"'No ,llnsion must he formed: Tire
equilibrium we have founded in the
Congress of Vienna is not eternal. It
will snccumb some day or other, bnl it
promises us some years Of peace. What
condems u Tor time. more or less dis
tant, is the aspirations which are becom.
ing universal in the centre Or Germany.
The necessities OF defence and of com.
mon peril have prepared meas minds
Tor Gelman UNITY this idea Will con-
tinue to be- developed, and some dav
one OF the great powers which form part
OF tho Conference will desire to realize
this union for its own profit. Austria
ls not to be feared aince she is compos-
ed OF pieces and morsels and having no
unity at home she cannot think Of ex-
porting 1t. Therefore, Prussia is what
must he watched. She will attempt the
adventure, and if she succeeds, then all
the conditions of equilibrium will be
changed, and new bases and a new
organization will have TO be sought TO
Europe"
The Prince continues to'examine the
circumstances more or less difficult under
which THE reconstruction will be effect.
ed. and he points out France rs the
nation most interested in combating the
movement for nni6cation, or in seeking
compensation.

Oh ! sweotly in tho midnight, love,

And leads me back to happy days
Whose light has fed with thee;
And once again VIC gaiy tread

And forget in that dear dream
That nm oil alono.
The hopes that chccrcd us long ago,
In that blcst hour arc mine;

With visions grand md high,
And Thy loved name fondly deemed
