Her eyes and scenes no man hath seen.
Stop still. my friend. and do not stir.
Shut close your page and think of her.
This maiden by her cabin stood.
The one sweet woman of the wood.
The birds sang sweeter for her face.
Her lifted eyes were like n grace
To w0Odmen Of that solitude.
Aye, she WIS fair and very fair.
The rippied rivers Of her hair
That ran In wDndrous waves, somehow
Flowed down divided by her brow.
And Hooded all her breast Of snow
In Its uncommon fold and flow.
Yet In her splendid strength, her eyes.
There lay tho lightning of the skies.
The leverage of the lioness.

A pent.up soul that sometimes grew
Impatient; why, she hardly knew.

The Peace Prospect in Europe


A Berlin correspondent Of a leading
London paper says that preparations are
in progress looking TO the restoration of
peace in case of a decisive Russian victory
at PleVna, and that England is sounding
the Continental powers as to the practical
bility of future mediation on the basis of
the programme of the late Constantinople
conference. We think the correspondent
has drawn on his imagination for his facts.
There. are but three European powers
that take any special interest in the pend
ing war: Austria. Germany and England.
The others have TOO much to do at home
to trouble themselves about J. matters
abroad, The three named occupy different
stand points, Austria is jealous of her
great neiehbor, England is afraid the Indian
possessions may be endangered, while
Germany is neutral. but with sympathies
leaning toward Russia Austria, Germany
and Eogland tried to prevent the war.
and failed signally. They certainly do not
expect to stop il on no better excuse than
a single Russian victory, however decisive
Russia has lost, in killed, wounded, aud
missing, over sixty thousand men. She
has lost, what is vastly more important to
her. much of her military prestige. OF
the money she has spent we make no
account She intends to have ample
compensation. She will listen to no pro
posals for mediation. She will fight until
Turkey is willing to concede her demands.
whatever they may be. The car has
officially declared that the war will continue
until its objects" are gained-which
means much more than appears on the
surface The olive branch will net be ac-
cepted until the sword has done its ap
pointed work, and where and when the
sword will stop cannot now be guessed
We are convinced the rumors Of media
ton are rumors only. so far as they relate
to Russia. If Austria, Germany, and
England really desire to accomplish any
thing they should apply to Turkey. Ii
Turkey is willing to grant what Russia
