| general readers in this country know l;,.,o
yond the fact that he was the oreatas, go.
OF the century. We copy few descriptiva
lines:
A more beautiful mans face than his has
hardly been seen in modern times. Who
that has looked upon it can forget ebe
hlgh, broad brow of the noble head. the darlx
blue eyes, and the exquisite Inns. where sat
such mingled beauty and power? IL seemed
indeed, only as lovely transparency, tbrouob
which the light of a still more lovely soul
was shining. His acton was quick and de-
cided, yet graceful; his voice very easant
to the ear, his speech easy and affluent. His
manner had the simplicity and sportiveness
OF a chilPs. and yet you felt the dignity and
authorlty OF master. Wholly unaffected,
ana even unconscious, in all he said and did
| ne yet breathed around you the atmosphere
| OF supreme genius. 1t was strange to watch
tne ioVe anu reverence which atteI ded his
| steps. The hours lecture over, during which
| he had held the great throng spell-bound and
even breathless by his eloquence the death
like stiffness broken now and then by ire
pressible applause, lie proceeded on his dailv
visit through the wards of his hospital. Day
by day have noticed the furried manner of
nurses and attendants, their eagerness tenn
pered by kind of devout worship, the hush
OF expectation which waited the masters
coming-and now you hear his fleet, light
steps, which keep his aids upon a run. He
is In your room, where darkness and pain
vanish at his cheering salutation. The band
ages are removed in a trce. The examna-
ton is made with rigid fidelity-there is no
haste here; the bandages a,e replaced, and
| away he goes, with loving words, which leave
sunshine behind him.

Mr.. Rhodes, in the first paper, considers
Marriage" in all its bearings, as PROMOTE
of virtue and social life and economy and
| health; he glances at the difficult
ties and dangers of the undertaking, the
questions Of wealth and breeding, and social
| equality, the marriage customs of different ma
tions, and gives some statistics useful to bach
elors and widowers.
Casual Cogitations," by Carl Benson;
Lady Murphy's "Wsnderings,'' Mr.. Fay's
''Berlin," Mr.. Hawthorne's ''Feast of Blood"
and Mr.. Pollards .'Anti-Slavery Men of the
South," are all noticeable papers. Two
poems are in the magazine. One is a trans
lation from Ronsard, the earliest of French
poets, and called the 'Chaucer of France"
The "Aeronaut'' has the merit at least of
being timely.
