LITTLE SHOE IN THE CORNER.

BY JAMES Russell LOWELL. %.
Yes, faith is goodly anchor; -. .
When skies are sweet as psalm, .n.
At the bows it tolls so stalwart
In bluff, broad-shouldered calm.
And when, over, breaker to leeward
The tattered surges are hurled,
1t may keep our head to the tempest,
With its grip on the base of the world.
But after the shipwreck, tell me
What help in its iron thews,
Still true to the broken hawser,
Deep down among the sea-weed ooze
In the breaking CULTS of sorrow,
When the helpless feet stretch out,
And find in the depths of darkness
No footing so solid as doubt.
Then better one spar of memory
One broken plank of the past
That our human heart may cling to, .
Though hopeless of shore at last
To the spirit its splendid conjectures,
To the flesh it's sweet despair.
Its tears o'er the thin worn locket
With its beauty of deathless hairl
Immortal I feel it and know it;
Who doubts it Of such as she?
But that is the pang' s very secret
Immortal away from me.
There is narrow ridge in the graveyard
Would scarce stay child in his race:
But to me and my thought it is wider
Than the star sown vague Of space.
Your logic, my friend, is perfect,
Your morals most drearily true;
But the earth that stops my darling's ears
Makes mine insensate too.
Console, if you will can bear it;
'Tis a well-meant aims of breath
But all the preaching since Adam
Has made Death other than Death,
Communion in spirit! Forgive me,
But 1, who am earthly and weak,
+ Would giveall my incomesfromdreamlaf
For her rose-leaf palm on my cheekl

Its motionless hollow confutes you,

A TALISMAN,
A Story for Young Men.
BY T. s. ARTHUR.

A young man lay upon sofa in a wax
ing dream. His thoughts were in the
future. and fancy dwelt with brilliant i'm
ages. On the morrow he was to depart
for distant city, and there enter law
Office to study the profession be had chosen.
He had talents and was ambitious. Up
to this period of his life he had dwelt
chiefly in the country, receiving bis edu-
cation at college in the neighborhood
He was pure minded and free from the
vices that sensualise so many of our young
men. @y.
So lost was he in his waking dream
that present things faded out Of his mind.

The Last Dance.

During the occupancy f.the city off
Moscow BY the French army, =, party ,,of]]
officers and soldiers determined to have Al
military levee, and for this purpose chose
the deserted. palace of noblemanN That
night the city was on fire. As the suu
went down they began to assemble! the
women who followed the fortunes Of the
French army were decorated for the oeca-
sion. The gay est and noblest Of theFat-
my were there, and nnerriment reigned
over the crowd.
During the dance the FIRE rapidly @
preached them; they saw'it coming, but
felt no fear. AT lengthithe building next
to the one they occupied was on fre.-s-I
Coming to the ;windows. they gazed apan
the pillows of fire which swept the city.
and then returned to their amusements
Again and again they left their pleasures
to watch the progress Of the flames. !, At
length the dance ceased. and the necessi-
|ty Of leaving the sceno Of nerriment be-
came apparent to all. They were envel
oped in food Of fire. and gazed on With
deep and awful solemnity. '4F''f'.'i bA
At last the FIRE, communicating to.their
own building, caused them to prepare for
flight, when brave young officer. named
Carnot, waved his jeweled hand above his
head, and exclaimed: 's'One dance more.
and defiance to the aames." All caught
the enthusiasm of the moment. and "Oue
dance more aud defiance to the fames,"
burst from the lips Of all. The dance
commenced; louder and louder grew, the
sound of music. and faster and faster, fell
the pattering footsteps Of dancing men
and women, when suddenly they heard q
cry: 'The fire has reached the magaizne:
lFly-ay for your life!" One moment
they stood trans6xed with terror; they
did not know the magazine was there.
and ere they recovered from their stupor
the vault exploded j; the building was shat
tered to pieces, and the dancers were hur-
ried into fearful eternity 4g1sea e
Thus will it be in the final day. Men
will be as careless as those i'll fated revel-
ers-yea. there are thousands and tens Of

of danger, and 60 resolntely back, no

a weak one, signing over his own debase-

The experience of that first year-the
dangers and escapes-the new aspect OF
life it had revealed to our young friend
were lessons not to be unheeded.
One day. during the first month of his
second year in the city, our young friend
was sitting alone in his proprietor's office
late in the afternoon, when an acquain-
tance came in. He was about Alfred's
age, youth of superior talents, and like
him had spent his earliest years in the
country. The city's allurments had been
too strong for him. He had fallen into
| many, vices and they had woven, like
busy spiders, their half invisible cords a.
bout him, until he was held an almost
powerless captive. He was pale; hi.
eyes were congested from recent dissipa'
ton; his hand was hot and trembling al
he laid it in that Of his friend. ~

excellent l applied it also upon Oats and Po-

prefer it decidedly to Peruvian Guano from the

the growing Crop, the effects of the Phosphate
can be strongly seen in the Crops following.
Some that applied to Potatoes by the side of

an alliance, onensive and defensive, in respect to
the United States" shall be much obliged If Won
VII! permit me TO say that sent such despatch
ana that none such was printed in the Tribune.
teegraphed on the 1th OF May that negotiations for
an alliance had been begun-which Is not quite the
same thing as saying they had been concluded
ana since some English criticism has been
bestowed on that despatch perhaps
was based on testimony thoroughly credible and
that have seen no cause to doubt that it was sub
stantlay true. How far the negotiations have gone
whether they are still going on whether the sug
gestion OF an aliance-whch is said to have been
made informally by the French Enperor-was Sc
rousy considered here, points not without inte-
rest for the public, but which am not called on to
discuss in correcting the errOr-which seems a mere
error OF haste-of your correspondent / am, sir

TO the letter the following note is appended:-
r. We publish this letter with pleasure; heartily
sharing the desire which it expresses to promote
correctness in the intelligence supplied to the public
One passage we have been compelled to omit since
1t retaiates the harsh terms npoyed by a contem-
poraTy in noticing the original report We are bound
TO say however, that even in its more limited FORM
the statement respecting the rumOred triple alliance
is more than incorrect; there have been no "nego-
tlations, and the whole OF the information supplied
to the writer is absolutely destitute OF any foundation
