The Maid OF Athens.

1t is the privilege of poets to confer their
own fame upon their loves, and they have
boasted of this in many well known verse.
The Elizabethan poets were especially fond
Of Offering immortality Of fame in exchange
for affection. Spenser wooed his wife In
this manner, and warned the lady that her
only chance of being remembered existed IN
his praise. His sonnets and his "Epitha-
lamium" are not yet forgotten, and posterity
makes good his promise. The highest COM
pliment paid to Spenser was that of Sir
Philip Sidney, who declared that when the
'Faerie Queen" appeared ''Oblivion laid him
down on Laura's hearse." Petrarch was then
famous in England, and his devotion to
Laura alone causes her name to be remem-
bered. Mary will be remembered till Burns
is forgotten, and the loveliness of Julia ia
still preserved in the amber verse of Herrick
But no woman, perhaps, owed greater fame
in her own lifetime to her poetical eulogist
than the Maid of Athens owed to Lord Byron.
The death of Mrs. Black, which recently
occurred, at the age Of seventy-six, recalls
one of the most harmless incidents in By
ron's life. She was a maiden when he met
her in Athens, and to her he addressed that
beautiful song which has been sung in every
quarter of the world. The young lady mar
ried, was the mother of large family, grew
old, and became so poor in her old age that
about year ago q fund for her relief was
raised by subscription in London. But,
though the Maid of Athens became old, the
song made in her honor remains forever
young. Her tresses unconfined are still
wooed by each Egean wind and her soft
cheeks bloom is still kissed by her eyelid's
ietty fringe. Lovers still sing, in voices very
varying in quality, of the Maid of Athens,
and implore her to think of them when
alone, and vow that they shall never cease to
love her, and that although they fly to
Istamboul, Athens holds their heart
and soul. Thus the song which cele-
brated the charms of the Athenian maid
has become the praise of thousands of fair
women. The value of love songs is that they
can be SO easily applied by any lover to any
lady, and Bayard Taylor finely expresses this
merit when he says of the British troops sing
ing before the eve Of battle in the Crimea,
each heart recalled q different name, but
all sang Annie Laurie" 1t is strange how
one man in a few simple words will thus
speak for millions. The lady does not
merely receive fame, but also confers it.
This song is not only due to the genius Of
Byron, but to the beauty Of the Maid. But
for her inspiration it would not have been
written. Fifty years have passed since
Byron's death, and after a long and honor
able life the Maid Of Athens has followed him
to the tomb. But both continue to live
together in the little song which the Pilgrim
of Eternity tossed like rose into the lap Of
one he loved for a moment and then left for
ever.

The UNION oP THE CENTRAL AMERICAN
STATEs.-A Bismarck appears to have arisen
in Central America whose mission is the
unity of the five States and the formation of
a federal republic after the fashion of our
own United States. The hero of the move
ment is Senior Soto, the Guatemalan Secre-
tary Of State, who, although yet youth not
over twenty-seyen years Of age, seems to be
gifted with the foresight and the persuasive
cloquence Of an experienced statesman. The
step by which the proposed confederation is
to be reached is the celebration of treaty
between the five republics Costa
Rica, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras
by which the principal interests of the coun-
try may be united and the means Of assimi-
lating them be determined Guatemala in
vites the appointment Of authorized diplo-
matte agents by the other republics to agree
upon details, and has confidence that the
result will be the establishment Of strong
federal union in Central America.

RECORDER HAcKETT ON THE PURITY OF
ELECTIONS. In charging the Grand Jury OF
the General Sessions yesterday Recorder
Hackett laid especial but not too great stress
on the importance of preserving the purity
Of the ballot box by promptly and unspar-
ingly Furnishing all offences against the cleo
ton laws. ''He who robs the charity box OF
a church" says the Recorder, lis infinitely
less a criminal than the voter or inspector
who designedly robs the elective franchise" !"
The Recorders charge is timely, and it is to
be hoped that it will deter many who con-
template such an offence from carrying out
their Intentions. No doubt a great deal Of
illegal voting is unavoidable, but the Re-
corder's warning words will do much good,
and any offenders against the election laws
will be sure to meet severe punishment if
their cases should come before the Court over
which Judge Hackett presides.

The SPEECH OF NJ. THEIRS AT ARcAcHoN,
which we give in another column, shows
that the intellect of the aged statesman is as
vigorous and active as ever. 1t is mastery
review Of the political situation in France
and an epitome Of her history for the past
five years. The opinion Of the veteran Min
lister, that no government is possible in
France but the republic receives all the
more weight from the fact that it is not tho
form of government to which his personal in
clinations led him. and that the monarchial
factions which drove him from power were
driven themselves by sheer force Of circum-
stances to vote the republic

Let Us Have Peace.

There is a comfort in knowing that we are
now at the end Of the campaign; that the fury
is spent; that this time of defamation and
calumny and misrepresentation is over. To-
day the citizens Of New York will decide
between the tickets which have been pre-
sented by the different conventions. The
general thought in the minds of all patriotic
men will be that these tickets are as a gen.
eral thing, composed Of good men. We do
not remember when both parties seemed to
strive to present unexceptionable candidates
as earnestly as during this canvass. The
effect of a reform movement upon our
politics is seen in this fact So far
as the mere men on the two tickets
are concerned citizen will have little hest
tation in voting with his party, because he
will vote for good officers. The question has
not been as to the merits Of the tickets, that
having been conceded from the first, but as
to the one man power of Mr.. Kelly represent
ing great political organization, and second
rs to the furious attacks upon Recorder
Hackett and Mr. Phelps, whom it is proposed
to drive from Office because the former would
not become the vassal Of political dictator.
This question really will decide the election
to-day. In doing SO it will decide to large
extent the influence Of the democratic
party Of New York upon the dem
ocratic party Of the country during
the next canvass As was shown in the
campaign Of Mr.. Greeley against General
Grant, the Tammany influence was the
heaviest burden he had to bear. Even the
democratic party throughout the country,
who would gladly enough have supported
Mr.. Greeley because of his high personal
character and the assurance that he would
have made an honorable and fair-minded
President, rebelled against candidate who
was largely under the control of secret po-
litical order. Therefore, if we wished i'll to
the democratic party in the next canvass for
the President, which we do not we could
desire nothing more than the success Of Tam
many to-day. # John Kelly proves him
self to be master OF New York at
the close Of the polls, that fact alone
will cost the democratic party thousands
Of votes throughout the whole nation
This is largely owing to the folly Of Mr.. Kelly
himself He had the campaign in his own
hand until within few weeks. He had it
in his power to have reformed the democracy,
reorganizing it upon the principles of free
dom Of thought and independence Of action,
embodying in its platform the glorious doc
trine laid down by Douglas Of popular
sovereignty. These are the misfortunes Of the
canvass thus far. The leaders have given us
an active fight they have excited the pas
sions Of our political leaders to high pitch !;
they have engendered much i'll feeling but
it is all over now. Our advice to citizens is,
to keep cool, to vote early, vote for the best
men upon the ticket, and whatever the result
may be- accept it as an expression Of the will
Of tie people.
