the same time pull down the strap which
throws him on three feet and makes him

gave him sharp jerk that will stop him
about as soon as the strap 10 his foot.
Then put him in harness with the foot.

moment he undertakes to move take his

and get out again; rattle the thlls, make
all the noise getting in and ont that you

by tho staff outside engaged in an earnest
dialogue. Alter the interview with The
King, the Emperor had few moments
conversation with the Crown Prince,
during which he was much agitated when
alluding to the manner of the King. His
anxiety seemed to he not to be exhibited
to his own soldiers. The result was,
however, that his Majesty. wishing to
avoid one mischief, was exposed to great
humiliation, for his course had to be
altered to avoid Sedan, and thus he had
to pass through the lines Of the Prussian
army.
Referring to the Empcror's appearance
and trip TO Germany, another cores
pondcnt says:
He was in the KEPT undress uniform OF
n lieutenant general, with the star of the
Legion of Honor on his breast. His face
looked exceedingly worn, with dark lines
under his eyes. which were observant OF
what was passing around him, for he
saluted the Englishmen who ran out 10

MY PICTURE GALLERY.

THERE'S n spacious hall that is all my own,
No stranger ever may enter there,
Il's sacred spot, by the world unknown,
Yet to me il Is filed with treasures raie.
On every side its wall are hung
With pictures, drawn by an artist bold;
To iN each living outline there,
Needs but a stroke OF his percil bold.
There arc village, and church, and cottage home
With sunny skies, and landscape bright
With rugged hills, and valleys fair,
And woodlands that glow in a mellow light.
There are spreading trees, and leafy bowers,
Aud running brooks, and ripping waves,
And the quiet vale, where the faithful flowers
Watch, and bloom DER tho silent graves.
And living pictures are craven there,
OF absent friends who are far away;
Though face to face meet them not,
They are lingering round me day by day.
And in that hall there are pictures too,
of some shall meet on earth no more.
Who have patiently trodden the vale below,
And are waiting now on the other shore.
o'er one ever hangs misty veil,
And while the shadowy foim trace
Full on 7 weep, a. whisper her name,
Bur cannot gaze on the cherished face.
And ever iilling, but ever full
Yet still in thoee halls there is always room;
And thus each picture fnds place
Though gathering DER so thick they come.
They fade not with age, they dim no, in hade,
al.
For each line that the masters hand hath made
Is painted in letters Of living light.
Would ye know the name of his mystic place
or, the artist old, who has wrought for me?
Each faithful picture Time has traced,
And hung in the Halls OF Memory.

Review Of Portland Markets.
WEEK ENDING July 27, 1870.


The speculative feeling, mentioned in our last
weeks report, in view OF the situation Of affairs
abroad and the probability OF an extensive war on
the continent, has subsided in very great measure
and the markets are rather fiat. The advance, es-
pecally on brealstu, has not been near SO large
was anticipated, and the same may be said OF every
other article which seized hold of by spectators
and prices sent up, with the intention of further
advance. Foreign commodities are as a general
thing, higher as prices are very firm; but this may
be accounted for by the ris, in gold, and not from
aay extraordinary demand for the articles, or from
any supposed effect a war between France and
Prussia may have upon them.
