Years passed away, and under the alTec

parents) increased not only in personal
beauty and loveliness, but, as she grew in
years, developed those peculiar graces and
dispositions which become an amiable and
frrateful daughter. And soon she was ena

their declining years, to testify her appre
ciation ol their self-sacrificing devotion to
her youthful days.
The Czar of Russia, not content with his
widely extended dominions, and desirous
of the conquest and annexation of the pro
v'nee ot Livonia, had already marched his
forces upon its chief citv. Katharine had
attained her thirteenth year when his for
midable cannon announced to the inoffen
sive inhabitants the bombardment of their
quiet town. With a view to her safety,
she was separated from the aged pastor and
sent to his sister, Alexia. The patriotic
Skovrouski remained to assist in the defence
of his native city. But the efforts of the

Dark and dreadful was the night of the
25th of .November, 16S9, and heavily fell
the snow flakes ; but darker were the pros
pects, and heavier was the heart of the
poor Livonian, as he reached the skirts of
the dense forest surrounding the town of
Marienhursr. Alisiortune bad cotrmclled
the indignant peaM.nt to sever the endear
ing relations that bound him to his native
village, to tnu a luiai auieu iu iu- vpni8 Df
his early days, to abandon Ins lavor-.te
haunts ot sacred memory, and seek among
strangers that which was denied bun in the
midst of his friends.
Accompanied by his fir.-t-born, a spright
ly youth of fourteen, and bearing in his
u-eurv arms a tender in ant. tne express
imae of her whom he had lately consign
ed to the sil.-nt tomb, he had well nigh
completed a faithful journey through a black
niu in hosnita i e reLMon. A violent minu
of snow and wind (peculiar to thut dreary
country) fiercely raged, bearing destruction
and desolation in its progress and prodii-
ciie' terror in the minds ol the unsheltered
wanderers. Overcome hy the severity ol
the cold, and unable longer to sustain his
precious charge, he carefully deposited it
upon a bed of snow, and in quest of assist
ance and a kind retreat from the howling
storm. But he returned not again. The
early dawn had discovered a frozen corpse
t j the astonitlieu tenants ol an ooscure cot
tage in the outskirts of the quiet village.
'Great Col! what do I hear" ejacula
ted the pious minister, Skovrouski, as its
subdued cries of distress, falling upon his
ennvr ear. durin? a temuoiarv cessation ot
the storm, attracted his attention to the
frozen embankment upon which rested the
deserted infant. He hesitated not to reflect
unon the cruel misfortune that had bereft
the infant of parental protection; nor did
he waste time in the fruitless endeavor of
discovering those who had abandoned their
offspring to the peltings of the storm. But,
content to acknowledge the mysterious
agency of "Him who doeth all things well,"
and "lyareth the young ravens when they
cry," he fled with "Winged footsteps to its
rescue. Wrapping it in his ample cloak,
he hastened to reach his humble home, that
he might minister to its relief ere the spirit
had fled to that undiscovered country from
whose bourne no traveller returns. Ar
rived at the peaceful cot, he consigned his
tender charge to the care of his kind-hearted
hotiif-keeper, and again sallied forth in
search of other objects for his benevolence.
He had not proceeded lar tieiore ni auen

I will now attempt to describe the court.
In the centre sits the chief justice, Koger
B. Taney, of Maryland. He is tall, sallow,
thin, hard featured, and careless in dress.
His history is well known. As General
Jackson's attorney general, he had no hesi
tation in advising that the removal of the
deposits from the Bank or the United States,
by the President's order, was valid : and
when Mr. Duane refused to remove the
treasure, Mr. Taney took his place as Sec
retary of the Treasury, and gave the order
required by the President. He stood very
high at the bar of Maryland, and is unques
tionably a man of great power of intellect.
His opinions are terse, pointed, and lumi
nous, not encumbered with unnecessary
learning, but exceedingly logical and con
vincing. He has great tenacity of purpose
and strength of will, and, 1 may add, stub
born prejudices. The sine, rity of his con
victions no one doubts. 'Ihere is about
him an unmistakeable air ol intellect and
authority, ami lie is a not tin wort' hy succes
sor of John Marshall. He is a devout Ro
man Catholic, and rigid ju hi observance
of religious fori"- aiul'duties.
On Hie right hand of the chief justice
sits Mr. Justice McT.en", of Ohio. This
gentleman was Postmaster General under
Mr. Adams, and continued so lor a very
short time under General Jackson, when lie
was transferred to the bench of the Supreme
Court. He is a well-dressed, dignified per
son, about six feet in height, exceedingly
well-formed, with fine teeth, a clear, gray
eye, lofty brow and forehead, thin hair, but

ears of Katharine, than she determined-o
return and share the fate of her benefaor.
The dusky shades of evening were.t'st
closing in as a horse, reeking with tam,
and almost ready to sink from exhai(ion
reached the border of the wood near1
gates of Marienburg. Emerging frn the
shade of the trees, its progress wasfli'hh'n
ly arrested by a soldier seizing tl bridle,
and rudely demanding '
here are you going ?" ,'
"What is that to you ?" was tlf peremp
tory reply. "I am in haste, aiJl pray you
allow me to pass unmolested."'
"Impossible!" replied the grfilinel, "thou
art a Livonian, and now Lionia belongs
this clay to Peter I, of Rusa. You are,
therefore, my prisoner and be conduct
ed before our general."
Arrived at the r-eneralMpnt, she threw
heiself at his feet, and dirtianded the privi
lege of seeking her pnA'ctor among the
slain. Moved at the sfiht of her youth,
and astonished at her tourage, the general
granted her request on'condilion of her re
turning to him when sie had completed her
march.
The night was dsmal, and the under
taking a fearful oie, but the difficulties
daunted not the absolute Katharine 3,,e
soon came upon ; field cov.ietl with the
uneaual contest. bile the groans and cries
of anguish told tin! many still survived the
slaughter.

than father, sh did not discover the pre
sence of a young Cossack officer, who,
struck with Ivr charms, and admiring her
boldness, hai accompanied her to the gory
fwld.
, and this is
no nlnre for woman ; pray return, and
leave me to seek your wounded kinsman."
Astonished at the sound of a human

voice, sne turnen ana recoaiiieu
stranger the sentinel who had impeded her
nrnjress without the city walls. Kelusing
Ins generous oiler, sue pei, him to aid
in her errand ol nn-rcv and love,
vigorous. He is a wry able judge. As a
politician, he has always been a "democrat"
and a supporter ot southern rights and no
northern man could be more acceptable to
the "democracy" of the South as a Presi
dential candidate.
We will now look to the left of the chief
justice. The first is Justice Wayne, from
Georgia, formerly a member of Congress
from that State, and a very warm personal
and political Inend of secretary forsyth.
He is an exceedingly handsome man
about five feet ten inches high, of stout but
graceful figure, ruddy complexion, fine
teeth, and clustering, wavy hair, now rnin
gled with gray ; very courteous in manner,
and with a tone ol refinement in his elocu
tion and address that is very pleasing. He
has cultivated the graces, and has aimed
(it is said not without success) to be in fa
vor with the ladies. He has an ingenious,
copious mind is fluent and rapid in ex
pression, but lacks conciseness, lucid ar
rangement, and vigor. He is, however, by
no means deficient in learning, even of a
technical character.
jNext lo him is Judge nelson, a man of
handsome features, bland and gentleman
like in expression, very courteous in man
ner, and dignified yet eaiy in deportment.
He possesses much good seise, and is an ex
cellent lawyer. His nppr hension is not
rapid, but he thinks clearly anu reasons
strongly. He is probably tht best com
mercial lawyer on the bench, t tanks to his
New York education. Since hi? elevation
to the present place, he has show an unu
sual degree of energy and industn, and is
evidently working for a reputation He is
not suspected ol ulterior political views.
and his integrity and iudependenceire not
doubted.
Judge McKinley, of Alabama, i not
ere. He is in .New Orleans, holdiir his
circuit there, and principally with a jew
to attend to the ttial of Mrs. Gaines' oSe.
Judge Grier, of Pennsylvania, has a lare,
broad form, an expansive angular bnv.

sagacious German such, I believe, is hi
descent. His voice is very curious ; h

KLOQIENCE OF R. CHALMERS.
The following description 0f a sermon on
the death of a friend and compeer of Dr
Chalmers, is extracted from his memoir by
Rev. Wm. Kenna. The illness of his friend
had been contracted by his humane exertions
to some shipwrecked sailors from threatened
destruction.
"A hum in the crowd, and a melancholy
tolling of (he bell announced the approach ot
the preacher, who seated himself for a minute
or two in an old elbow chair, took the Psalm
book from a littlo table before him, turned
hastily over a few of the leaves, and thou
rose in the most awkward and even helpless
manner. Before he rend the lines which
were to be sung, his large and apparently
leaden eyes were turned towards the recent
grave, and wilha look wildly pathetic, fraught
with intense and indescribable passion. The
psalm was read with no very promising elo
cution; and while the whole mast of the
people were singing it, he sunk into the chair
turned, seemingly, into a monumental statue
of the coldest stone, bo deadly pale was his
large broad face and forehead. The text was
read: Duut. xxxii. 29, 'Othat they were wise
that they understood this ; that they would
consider their latter end !:'
''Tho doctrinal truth which ho meant to
inculcate, being established on the basis of
reasoning so firm that doubt could not move,
oi sophistry shake it, he bounded at once tho
structure which he had reared; and by that
inborn and unteachablo power of the Spirit,
w hich nature has reserved for the chosen of
her sons, and which shakes on all the disad
vantages and incumbrances of figure and voice
and language a3 easily as the steed shakes
the Ihisllo-down from his side, carried the
hearts and the passions of all who heard him
w ith irresistible and even tremendous swav.

the words were spoken there was a silence

unavailing, and at early dawn they returned
to the city, having failed to find the re
mains of the good old minister.
Katharine religiously kepi her word, and
surrendering herself a prisoner of war, de
manded the protecion of the noble general.
Uer. ft of her preserver and benefactor,
she was now alone in the world, and young,
with promise nl long lite, there were no
ties to bind her to earth, and she longed to
join her pious and devoted guardian. A
prisoner, she was treated witn maiKed cour
tesy and respect by the general-inchief,
who ordered her well turnished apartments
and everv attention to her comfort and
pleasure. She also received many kind
nesses from the youthful Cossack, who at
length became enamored with her charms,
and proved the strength of his attachment
by procuring her release irom connnemeiu,
upon parole ol honor, and personal security
for her safety. His assiduous attention to
her wants, and earnest in her behalf, were
not rrrev. and in the treneral outline of his
features, the breadth of the lower part of
l,;0 (:,.-.. mid th.. ceneral carriage of his
head, exceedingly like the statute of Waslv
i'mrton bv Houghton in the capital at Rich
moud. He is an upright and sensible man,
with unquestionable administrative talents,
but not an accurate or profound lawyer.
It is believed by some that he is not satis
fied with his present position, but is desi
rous of obtaining a higher station. He is a
memh. r ui tne lMetiiodisi cnurcn, ano is in
hi'Mi favor with that denomination.
Justice Catron, of Tennessee, is next to
Mr. McLean. He u a stout, healthy man,
respectable and solid in appearance, with a
face and head more indicative oi uruanny
and benevolence than of intellect. With
good sense, moderate learning, great be
nevolence of feeling and kindness ol de
meanor, he is universally regarded as a use
ful, unpretending, respectable judge.
iNext to him we lind Judge uanici, oi
Virginia. He was nominated by Mr. Van
Buren. short! before the termination ol
that trentleman's presidency, principally on
D ... ... . ' " , ,
account ol his political services and uev o
tedness. He is tall, bony, angular, with
high cheek bones and dark complexion, and
looks as if he had some Indian blood iu his
veins. His mind is narrow in its concep
tions and limited in its investigations, and
his style is crude and confused. But his
learning is accurate, and his deductions are
sound and clear. He often dissents from
(hat he had been in company with hirti on
Friday, between 1 and 2 o'clock. On tha
13thofNov. were found in a privy vault In
the Medical College, the pelvis arid tight
thigh, to the knee, of a body corresponding
to that of Dr. Parkman. On ha evening af
ter, wero found in Dr. Webster' laboratory,
iu a tea chest, a thorax and left thigfi, front
the knee to the hips. Afterward were found
in the furnace of Dr. Webster, bones, a quan
tity of gold, and a block of mineral teeth.
None of the bones found in the furnace were
duplicates of those found in the tea chest or
vault. The teeth would be fully identified
by Dr. Keep as a set which he lately made for
Dr. Parkman, and a mould be shown which
exactly corresponded to a jaw bone found in
the furnace. The thorax was perforated in
the region of the heart. There have betfn
chemical applications of strong alkali to the
remains, and tho veina had not been injected
with any preservation fluid. This waa the
evidence going to show that Dr. Parkman had
been murdered.
On lhe second head, that the prisoner mur
dered Dr. Parkman, Mt. Clifford went into a
minute detail of Dr. Webster's pecuniary re
lations of 1842, whan he borrowed money of
him, and had been in debt and embarrass
ment ever since, and he would show that Dr.
Webster dishonestly endeavored to raise
money of Robert G. Shaw and others, on pro
perty mortgaged lo Dr. Parkman, and that
Dr. Parkman regarded him as a dishonest
man, and pressed him accordingly to recover
his debt ; ho alleged lhat u would be proved
that Dr. Webster had made conflicting state
ments, and false ones, in relation to money
paid to Dr. Parkman, and that at the time of
(he tatter's disappearance, all of Dr. Webster'a
property was bound to him.
Mr. Clifford also dwell at great length on
Dr. Webster's conduct during the time of
his arrest, and contended that a great number
of circumstances would be found irreconcila
ble with the supposition of his innocence.
The court room wa, as usual, crowded
from an early hour long before the opening''
of the court. The prisoner was brought into'
court a little before nine o'clock, and the
anxiety of the crowd to see him seemed, if
possible, on the increase. On taking his aeat
in tho dock, ho conversed freely with several
of his friends, who warmly shook hand with
him, and he nppeared to be in better spirits
t!;an when leafing the court room on the pre
vious evening.

these two models were somewhat peculiar;
the first question asked me by Dr. Parkman

was how long will it take to make them, and
the reason why he asked, he aaid, waa that
; the Medical College was going lo be opened
on a certain day, when he should want new

as a judge is hardly yet defined.
On the right of the judges, separated by
a railing, is the desk ol the clerk, Mr. Car

neat, prompt, assiduous, and courteous, and
is, in every respect, an honorable and ac

Mr. Reverdy Johnson was foremost at the

is a great deal of energy and independence
in his look and bearing aim mooe oi speaK

strong, but powerful figure, strongly marked

Io a few moments a young lieutenant,
advancing to the Genf rtl' tent, said
for fidelity to his party, and for unwearied
study and labor. He is nearly six feet in
height, of round and compact form, well
moulded features, a prominent and bright
eye, that, at a distance, appears dark, but
on nearer view is seen to be a bluish gray.
He is strictly temperate in his habits, drinks
nothing but cold water, and a great deal ot
that, and works with surprising rapidity
and earnestness. He has a great talent tor
research, and his opinions are crowded
with its results. As a reasoner he is cogent
and accurate, but not concise, and u apt
to spend loo much labor in proving what
oiK'ht to be assumed as settled. His deci
sion would be th better for pruning and
lhinninr. but the erowth i;i dfriwooted and
practice, although he must he
seventy years old. He f peaks slowly and '
in a low tone, but with great purity and dic
tion and clearness ol thought. There is,
however a great want of force in his man
ner, and few listen to him. Some years
ago a citizen of Ohio, after being in court
during an argument of (Jeneral Jones, sa'ul
to one of his acquaintance that he had wit
nessed ihatd.iv the greatest curiosity which
had ever nn-t his observation ; he had
heard a man talk fur two hours in hhihtp!
The appeafance and dress ol this distin
guished ano; worthy gentleman are mosi
peculiar, but it would be hardly lair to de
scribe them. He is universally respected,
and, by those who know him, warmly be
loved. Such are the men who compr.se this ele
vated tribunal. As men and jurists they
are respeclablcj but not of the lofty and
commanding character that will be expected
in such a station. Every one of them has
Leen selected for political reasons and
some of them certainly would never have
been chosen by a popular vote. What
absurdity characterizes the assertions about
the dangers of a popular choice of judges.
When did a Governor ol a state, or a 1 resi

on account of his professional ability ? I
