The letter was sent by the first
steamer. The same day telegraph
ed ThurlOw Weed. Archbishop
Hughes and Bishop Simpson to
meet me at the AstOr House the
morning following. That evening
1 left for New York, and explained
to these eminent gentlemen tho OBJ
ject OF the conference and the new
danger that threatened the Union
cause. l told them that they must
at once go to Europe, to labor un
officially with the Government and
ruling classes in England and on
the Continent, to represent the
wickedness, danger and folly of for
eign interference. In less than
week they we're on their journey,
reached Europe at most OppOrtune
moment-Mason and Slidel had
Just been seize4l-England was in a
white heat of rage-and did much
to convince Europe that the proper
thing and the only thing to do was
to leave us alone. Aud the mission
cost the government less than sew
Ell thousand dollars"
This may be true, but if SO, 1t is in
signal opposition to the open and
public political course of the Gov
ernment. Ii Mr.. Seward ever
wrote to Napoleon in that way, it
was altogether different from his
usual diplomatic tone. If there
was ever a nation that drank the
bitterest dregs of humiliation and
shame, in the late war, so far as its
foreign relations were concerned,
the United States was that power.
Nothing but the plea of the bitter
est necessity could excuse it then,
or modify it in the eye of posterity.
Captain Wilkes in a United States
vessel of war, had the hardihoOd to
bring a British steamer to on the
high seas, and, violating the sancti-
ty of the flag, to take from it the
persons of two passengers-Messrs.
Mason and SIidell, Enjoys abroad
of the Southern COnfederacy. The
act was almost universally applaud
ed as something heroic by the war
party. Tho Secretary Of the Navy,
Mr.. Welles, spoke apprOvingly of
it in his annual report. The House

Two PIcTUREs- Contrast. Pic
lures themselves sometimes have Curl
GUS history. The story Of the two PIC
lures at Florence is old, but not wornout.
An artist at Rome saw often, playing in
the street near his window, child Of
exquisite beauty, with golden hair and
cherub face. Struck with the loyeliness
Of the boy, he painted picture of him
and hung it in the studio. In the saddest
hours that sweet, gentle face looked down
upon him like an angel of light. Its pres
ence filled the soul with gladness and
longings for heaven, which itsapurity sym
bolized. If ever find" said Inc, "a
perfect contrast to this beauteous face,
/ will paint that also, and hang it up on
the opposite wall, and the one | will call
heaven and the other hell"
Years passed. At length, in another
part of Italy, in prison he visited,
looking in through the grated door Of a
cell, he saw the most hideous object that
ever met his sight--a fierce haggard
iend, and cheeks deeply marked with
the lines of lust and crime. The artist
remembered the promise he bad made
himself, and Immediately painted pic
ture Of this loathsome culprit, to hang
over against the portrait of the lovely
boy. The contrast was perfect; the
two poles of the moral universe were be-
fore him. Then the mystery of the
human souls had gained another illustra-
ton. He had two pictures, but they
were ILLNESSES Of one and the same person
TO his great surprise, on inquiring into
the history Of this horrid wretch, he
learned that he was no other than the
sweet child with the golden ringlets
whom he once knew so we'll and saw 50
often playing in the streets Of Rome.

Ny Life is Like the Summer Rose.

My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
And ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die;
Yet on that roses humble bed
The softest dews of night are shed;
As though she wept such waste to see,
But none shall drop one tear for me !
Ny life is like the autumn leaf
Which trembles in the moons pale ray,
Its hold is frail, its date is brief,
Restless and soon to pass away
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The wind bemoan the leafless tree,
But none shall breathe sigh for me
My life is like the print, which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
Their trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, as if grieving to eiface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea,
But none shall thus lament for me.

A man, and his name was Jones, and
he lived in Cincinnati, drank gallon Of
whiskey on wager, and he won the bet.
His wife remarked at the funeral that it
was the first money he had earned by
hard work for ten years. The result of
it all is. one more widow to marry again,
one gallon of whislley less in the world,
and one more fool out Of it, It's good
rule of three, and we commend it to the
Temperance Lecturers.
