Those who believe that in the event
or the final defeat Of France by Prussia,
France will be delivered over to the
Republicans to be transmogri,i.d into
a Republic, reckon without their host
There is not the smallest hope OF re
publicanizing France, not even in a
revolution after the war, or during the
var. Should France become rcpub-
lie, Spain and Italy would soon catch
the infection, and it is hardly safe to
say that the process of republicanlzing
European countries would stop there.
Prussia, and the Powers in sympathy
with her, have no notion of abolishing,
or permitting to be abolished, the
throne of France. IL is only the occu.
pant, Napoleon, they are determined to
destroy.

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
A BARGAIN.

He asked me for the choicest gift
Twas in my power to give;
could not say my lover nay,
And so babe him live
Within my heart,
o loving heart!
Thy faith on him was stayed;
On Blended knee he promised me
A price-he has not paid!
He pledged his honor and his truth
To love till death shall part;
With love he bought the prize he sought,
And thus obtained my heart.
o happy heart!
o happy cline,
Through which we idly strayed!
What joy was ours, as through the flowers
A fragrant path we made!
But soon we reached the outer edge
OF this out Eden land;
Where love had reigned, and haply feigned
To do the Kings command.
0 loving heart!
o trustful hearth
How was thy trust betrayed!
With love he bought the prize he sought,
But has the price been paid?
If should live thousand years,
/ meier again should know
The same regret, or could forget
Those days of long ago,
When first my heart,
This foolish heart,
Its choicest wealth displayed;
With love twas sought, with love twas
bought,
But has the price been paid?
The careless tone-thc unkind word
The changed and chilling mood,
Are these the things affection brings,
10 prove its promised good?
o foolish heart!
BE 10th to part
With love, though love entice;
So sharp trade with hearts is made,
That few will pay their price!

THE MEETING.

I met her in the quiet lane
One Sabbath morning early;
The sun was bright, although the rain
Still gllttcrcd on the barley.
The lark was singing TO his mate
The wild bells chimCd their warning
We paused awhile outside the gate;
We fingered till it was too late
10 so to church that morning.
Again we met, The whispering leaves
Glanced nigh in light and shadow;
The reapcrs piled their yellow shcavcs,
The bees humm'd Ger the meadow.
The royal sun rose up in stat,
Our marriage-day adjoining;
The bells rang out; wide stood the gate.
And neither of us was too late
10 so to church that morning.
