A NOBLE WIFE.

During the revolution in Poland
which followed the revolution OF
Thaddeus Kosciusko, many of the
truest ana best of the Sons Of that
dictated country we're force to flee
tor their lives, forsak.ng home and
friends. OF those who had been
most eager for the liberty IF Po-
land, and most bitter IN t1e enmity
against Russia and Prussia, was
Michael Sobieski, whose ancestor
had been king Q hundred and fifty
years before.
Sobseski had two sons in the
patriot ranks, and father and sons
had been of those who persisted in
what the Russians had been pleased
to term rebellion, and a price had
been set upon their heads.
The Archduke Constantine was
eager to apprehend Michael So
bieski, and learned that the wife Of
the Polish hero was ut home in Cra-
COW, and he waited upon her.
A" Madame" he said, speaking very
politely, for the lady was beautiful
and queenly, II think you know
where your husband and sons are
hiding"
~ know, SIR"
"If you will tell me where your
husband is. your sons shall be par
doned."
"A nd shall be safe ?"
Yes, madam, l swear it. Tell
me where your husband is con-
cealed, and both you and your sons
shall be safe and unharmed."
"Then, sir" answered the noble
woman, rising with dignity sub
lime, and laying her hand upon her
bosom, he lies concealed here
in the heart of his wife-and you
will have to tear this heart out to
find him."
Tyrant as he was. the Archduke
admired the answer and the spirit
which had inspired it, and. deem
ing the goodwill of such o woman
worth securing, he forthwith pub
lished the pardon of the father and
sons.

The violsts that you gave ere dead
They could not bear the loss Of you:
The spirit Of thu rose has fed
It loved you, and It's love was true
Back TO your lips the spirit fies.
To bssk beneath your radient eyes.
He grandly lsvss who loves In vain
Thesa withered flowers that lesson teach.
They suffered; they did not complain;
Their life was love too great for speech;
In silent pride their fate they bore
They loved. they srieved, they died--no NOR

What laurels wreathe her lovely head.

The usual gratutous insult has been once again
offered by Judge DAVIS TO the graduates OF our law
schools. This morning 1t eleven O'Clock, when the
General Term OF the Supreme Court, Judge Noah
Davis presding entered the court room, besides an
unusual array of prominent counsel (among whom We
noticed William N. Evarts and Judge Porter), there
were in attendance twenty-three gentlemen waiting
for the oath to be administered 10 them which

tie them to practice in all tho courts Of this
State or this number seven had passed the exami-
ol the committee appointed for that purpose
by the General Term. Addressing himself to these
gentlemen the presiding Justice expressed hmsoi as
being pleased that they mad entered the
the reg and proper way and that they deserved
that they should have the oath administered them
separately, which, with becoming soiemniy, he pro-
ceeled Then taking up the reg ular business Of
the Court, he ordered the clerk 10 swear IN the
other gentlemen who had come with certificates from
the law schools" This was done with the haste ana
