There's a fnricrs.1 shadow lyini
Athwart Europe tar and wine;
Drift and scuds of terror flylnjr,
Fierce ard fact, on every Bide.
Over Germany they darken,
Over Italy they gloom;
Sea Rirt Inland's bushed to hearken
For the trumpet or the. doom.
What la It, this black terror?
Is't but the cloud of war,
By some pernicious error
Drawn near, from seeming far r
No, 'is a deeper flyrk'ntng.
Than e'en wat'g cloud can spread;
And the voice lor which we're hearkening
Thrill with more than battle's dread.
There's a lustre as of lightning
Hid in the war-rlouu's breat;
There strikes au upward brighl'ning
From an armed nation's breast.
There is music in war's voices
Stern music though It be
When down-trod Right rejoices
Might has ris'n to set her tree.
But in this cloud no lifting
Of the heavy pall we trace;
Liprht brcaketh through no rifting
Of this veil on Europe's lace.
No exultation bl enoVtta
With this low mourning moan
Of Freedom a she bendoth
Her face aside to groan.
Tis Nemesis dark angel
That follows on 1U deeds.
And wiltes her stem evangel
In the late of crowns and creeds
Tis Nemesis, that moulrieth
This shadow dense and deep,
From the wings that she unfoldeth
With long and lingering sweep.
'Tis Nemesis lhat soeaketh
In the thunder of these clouds
The Nemesis that wreaketh
Kinds' wroncs on guiltless crowds.
Tis Nemesis preparing
Bloody crop from evil seed,
The Nemesis ne'er sparing
Ill-doer or ill-deed.
So England naught reioices,
In the view ot godless fight;
Has no well w ishing voices,
Where none are in the richt.
Sees not Freedom's angel springing
From the blood that (-hall be shod;
Oirlv Nemesis, slow winging
O'er her due track, strewn with dead !

I'etbolkum Ether. In a note in ho Journal de
Chimie Medicate, Al. E. Georges describes tho results
of bis exi erimonts with this substance. In certain
women It produces violent giddiness, especia'Iv in
those accustomed to a closo atmosphere. This
action is due to a pecuiar principle, which mav be
removed, and winch acta principally on the brain
and heart. M. Georges think that the low price

render It extremely valuable lor vunou purpobes.

OUR NAVAL KORCE ON THE COAST OF EUROPE TO BE
INCREASED.
In view of the Impending conflict on the con
tinent of Europe, it has been suggested that our
naval torce in that quarter snoum De increasea,
in order to render it thoroughly competent to
protect Americun citizens reMdlng in Europe;
and in pursuance of this suggestion, the Navy
Department Las assigned the gunboat Swatara.
now ready tor sea at the Washington Navy Yard,
to that squadron. Seveval other vessels are also
to be despatched as foon as they can be placed
in readiness..
Among the vessels spoken ot as likely to bo
attached to the European squadron are the new
irigate Franklin, (rtierriere, und Chattanooga,
with the new sb iops-oi- war A itshamomi and Maaa
waska. The Swatitra is a screw gunboat ol 831
tons burden (old measurement), and was built
ut the Philadelphia Navy lard, she was
launched ou the 23d ot May, 1865. and from that
time until January of the present year was en
gaged in reeeiving on board her machinery,
stores, etc. On the loth of January, 18titi, she
was p'iiced in commission at the Washington
Navy Yard, and was shortly alter ordered to
make a cruise among the West India Islands a
a practice vessel lor midshipmen. She has but
lately returned Ironi this cruise, which proved
a most successful one, and is now in perlect
sea-going order.
The Swatara is a sister shin ol the Qttinne
have, which was lately launched at tne Brook
lyn Navy Yard, and is a very sftitt vessel, hav
ing been constructed with a view to making
speed the paramount object. Her armament
consists of ten gun of heavy calibre, and her
engines are of the most powerful description.
She is altogether a model vessel of her class,
and will afford our transatlantic neighbors
another striking example ot the progress made
by ns in the art of building swift und powerful
war vessels.
The European siUrdron will now cousist of
