FADELESS IS A LOVING HEART
Sunny eyes may lose their brightness,
Nimble feet forget their lightness,
Pearly teeth may know decay,
Raven tresses turn to gray,
Checks be pale and eyes be dim,
Faint the voice and weak the bath;
But though youth and strength depart.
Fadelesss is the loving heart.
lake the little mountain flower
Peeping forth in wintry hour
When the summer's breath bath fled,
And the gnarlier flow•ret's dead;
Lo, when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still will blossom on,
Despite Time's destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly, taring heart.
Wealth and talents will avail,
When on life's rough sea we sail,
rot the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow;
But more smooth we'll find the sea,
And our course the fairest he,
If our pilot when we start,
Be a kindly, loving heart.
Yc in worldly wisdom old.
Yc wl bow the knee to gold—
Doth this earth as lovely seem
As it did in life's young dream;
Ere the world hos critiqed o'er,
Feeling good and pure before—
Ere you sold at Mammon's inert,
The best yearnings of the heart!
Grant me, Heaven, my earnest prayer,
Whether hie of ease or CBI . °
Be the one to me assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
T‘s hied within my bosom chortle,
And that age may but impart
Riper freshness to my heart.

"LIVE THEM DOWN."
Brother, art thou poor and lowly,
Toiling, drudging day by day,
Journeying painfully and slowly
On thy dark and desert way?
Pause not, though the proud ones frown;
Shrink not, fear not—Live them down!
Thoug.h to vice thou shalt not pander,
Though to virtue thou shalt kneel—
Vet thou shall escape not slander,
Gibe mid lie thy soul must feel;
Jest of willing, curse of clown;
Heed not either—Live them down.
Date may wield her scourges horrid;
Malice may thy woes descrilm;
Scorn may hind with thorns thy forehead;
Eury's =pear nosy pierce thy side!
I.o: through cross shall come the crown,
rear no foeman—Live them down!

GAMBLING IN PARIS
The sprightly, gossiping Paris correspon
dent of the Boston Post furbishes the follow
lug instructive disclosures in regard to the!
gambling houses in that city:
"Paris at present is full of gambling heats
es. They exist in every street almost—in I
principal hotels even—and strangers are 1 1
fleeced with all the impunity which igno
ranee and inexperience permit. One passes
a respectiblc-looking, well-lit window, with
large gilt letters signifying "Table d'Hote,"
inscribed upon its pane; between the white,
cleanly muslin curtains, he can peer into a
spacious room, where he beholds a table cov
ered with dinner furniture, plates, globlets,
baskets of fruit, &c., and, desiring to erotic-
mize, or wishing to avoid the bustle and I
clamor of a boulevard cafe, or tired and hun
gry, or what not, he enters the door near the
window, places his bat and coat in a place
designated by a civil man in shorts, and
seats himself in the waiting-room, anxious
for the signal to put himself at the table';
which attracted his observation. Guests ar
rive; two or three, to all appearances, stran
gers and new-corners like himself; middle
aged dignifies men, dressed in coats button
ed dangerously tight, and decorated with'
red ribond, or more likely some foreign or
der; everything appears decorous, quiet and
respectable. A matron of honest exterior,
a host astoundingly cordial and well whis
kered, together with servants overwhelming
ly polite, make the stranger chuckle at the
good fortune which conducted him hither.
While partaking of the palatable fare, in his
merriment and good nature he goes a bottle
of good wine—the price is so reasonable he
thinks he can stand it—and lie finds the
chatty young woman whom chance undoubt
edly has made his neighbor, and whose toi
let has previously excited his admiration, is
quite disposed to take the least sip with him
since she feels already acquainted, so win
ning have proved his powers of conversa
tion and so intelligible his French. During
the period of soup, fish and meats, up to the
attack upon the pears, apples, and raisins,
she has engrossed his attention. lie be
comes interested in the pretty roisine, and
yielding to Anglo-Saxon inquisitiveness, he
urges her into details of her condition in life
, her parentage, pursuits, place of abode, &c.
All that she replies seems so candid and
naively spoken, and so engagingly simple
that he is charmed at the further good luck
which has furnished the opportunity for so
agreeable an acquaintance. He would have
another bottle were isnot for the breaking
up of the society, which ho sees commencing.
I and the termination of the dinner that has
been almost forgotten. As he soon after
passes out, madame, at the comptoir, who re
ceives the modest compensation, pleasantly
and frankly invites him to mount and take
his coffee in a room above with the other
guests; a proposition which is the more read
ily accepted from the glimpse which be gets
of the retreating figure of his table friend,
evidently skipping in that direction. Dom
inoes are there first produced; other inno
cent games entered into, until at length
some bolder members of the society suggest

fer, or the more plebianinethod of taking up
less than you put down, known as bouillotte.
Parties are quickly formed, doors and win
dows are closed by the,indulgent host, who
blandly takes an active part in the procee
dings, and merrily commences the sport
"with a clear fire and all the rigor"—the
stranger and his little friend, by anothor
singular chance becoming partners. Unless
accustomed to Parisian games and the live
ly manner of playing them, he is not apt to
overburden himself with winnings. Bat in
any case, experienced or tenderly verdant,

Robert Houdin himself; has any chance

AMERICAN ARTISTS IN ITALY
America is the only country which has a
female representative at The court of art, at
least in the department of sculpture. It is
not uncommon for fair hinds to use skillful
ly the pencil; but sculptresses among the
sculptors are as rare as prophetesses among
the prophets. Miss Ilostuer has been here
some years moulding, not read, but in clay.
Some of her works are knOwn and approved
both in England and the United States.—
She has recently finished the model of a life
size reclining statue of Beatrice dale Cenci
—represented as asleep on the evening be
fore her execution. It is an ambitious effort
and a remarkably successful one for so young
an artist.
Mr. Crawford's extensive studio is so fil
led with his own beautifulcreations as to be
quite a gallery of art, and worthily among
the interesting sights of Rome. One is as- 1
tonished to find the author of all these things
looking so fresh and uncarcworn, and nat
urally questions whether so mach so quickly
done, can bo well done; but, on making ac
quaintance with one impressive statue after
another, the conclusion the, energy and ex
ecutive force are qualities that do not imply
haste, which is a defectVkthat what Mr.
Crawford's prolific genins conceives his
prompt right man knows hgv to finish. His
luclilw i ef44itig
figures which he has made—is not only a his
tory in its prose and expres , ion, but n care
fully finished work. The author, however,
is especially successful in producing fine gen
erally effect; his drapery is inimitable.—
Nothing can exceed in ea ,, e, elegance and
grace, the disposition of the cloak in his ma
jestic statue of Otis, just completed for Mt.
Auburn.
Mr. Ives—a true and earnest sculptor—
has been latterly engaged on an expressive
group, which illustrates a verse of Longfel
low's Excelsior. Ills smaller group of the
sleeping infant and dog—or "Innocence and
Fidelity," is touchingly beautiful, and his
single figures all have their respective merits.
Mr. Mozier has just completed a statue cal
led "Silence," which is thought by some to
be his finest work. Ile has also recently ex
ecuted two interesting figures—a boy mend
ing a pen, and a girl picking flowers—which
are designed as corn panimv. llis noble Po
cahontas is a representation of Indian beau
ty. Mr. Rogers has been occupied since his
return from the United States with the put.-
lie orders which he brought back with him.
His statue of Adams front Mount Auburn is
a grand work; and his door of the Capitol,
now in progress, promises to he ft fitting re
turn for the jtv-t compliment front his coun
try. Mr. Bartholomew has been chiefly en.
gaged for the past year on numerous por-
I trait busts; that of Mr. Fillmore and others,
are highly praised. He is now at work on
a group. Mr. Akers—known favorably as
' a writer also—is making an ideal group of
Una and the Lion, front Spencer's Fairy
Queen; it is favorably spoken of, and the
lion thought to he especially fine. And
there are other sculptors front the United
States who are doing themselves and their
country honor at Rome.
Nor are the American painters behind
them in their own department of art. Mr.
Page has now completed his famous picture
of Venus on a 'Dolphin; it has been purchas
ed for an honorable price by some gentleman
of Boston. No modern has come so near
Titian in painting flesh as Mr. Page; his
portraits arc supurh. Mr. Terry has ready
for delivery two admirable compositions,
each comprising several figures. One is a
scripture piece. representing the departure
from home of Tobias with the angel in dis-
ME
There is true feeling and rich coloring in
this work; is a charming picture. The oth
er is different, but pleases no less; it is cal
led the "Painter's Dream of the Graces."
Mr. Thompson—also a figure painter—has
been busily and successfully at work here
on orders for some time. Ile has also sev
eral interesting pictures now done; one of
which, "The Circassian Slave," is remarka
ble, not only for pathos and sweetness, but
as being a fine specimen of flesh coloring.
Mr. Brown, a landscape painter, well de
serves the fame he has won in the city of
Claude. So truthfully and vividly does he
reproduce nature, that the leaves of his no
ble trees seem to move, and his grass to
wave. Among his recent works are a love
ly wooded scene, refreshing to look at, and
a moonlight view of Venice which make one
feel all the poetry of gondola motion, and of
a Venitian night! Mr. Brown's elaborate
"studies" for pictures may be studied, as
they are with profit and pleasure. Mr. Til
ton's landscapes are especially remarkable
ble for their atmospheric effects, and fine re.
lievo and perspective. He is enthusiastic
for his art, and lives himself as one sees in
the atmosphere of Titian and of Claude.—
Mr. Chapman—the Illustrator of Harper's
Bible and other distinguished work's hasre
cently been reproducing Roman peasant
groups, in variety of pose and costume. He
has a gallery of Campagno scenes, alive
with characteristic forms, all of which prove
a peculiar talent fur this department of pain
ting.
CASE OF AN ELOPEMENT IN
FARMINGTON.
On Thursday of last week. a gentleman of
about twenty-one, accompanied by a young
lady of eighteen, both from Waterville, ale
rived at the Stoddard Ile in l'armingtee,
where they were immediately united in holy
matrimuny, by Rev. Mr. Munger.
But on Saturday afternoon, as the young
man was taking a look at the town, he sod
denly beheld by his side, the father of his !

THE BEDCHAMBER OF AN
EMPEROR.
The Le Nord published the following ae
count of a visit made by its enrre-Tondetit to
the bedroom of the Emperor Nicholas at :Ft.
Petersburg:—
•'The person who anted as my gnide did
not say whither be was taking me. Ile con
ducted me into an arched room of s cry mod
erate dimensions, and lighted by a single
window looking into a court. This room
was both a study and a bei room. Before
tire window was placed a desk, on ss rich
was a pocketbook half ono], a few sheets of
paper and come pens. a crumpled-up hantl
kerchief, a small statuette of the Prince of
Wales, in the dress of a sailor, and a 'water
color drawing representing children. A
straw-bottomed chair was placed at the desk,
which wa.i much the worse 1;)r wear, and
bore many marks of being cut with a pen
knife. Near this desk was an old sofa,
cnt
ered with green leather, with ssell-worn
cushions. Opposite, on a console ornamented
with a mirror, was a dressing-case in leather,
the simplicity of which showed that its own
er did not indulge in any refinement of the
toilet. Oa the chimney-piece was it small
time-piece in black marble, upon which
stood a bust of the Count de Beckendorif.—
There was no looking-glass on the chimney.
Half concealed by the time-piece was a stat
uette, in bronze, of Napoleon 1., similar to
that in the place Vendome. Some pictures
ornamented the walls, representing military
scenes, painted by Horace Vernet, a French
artist. A bust of Marshal Radetzky stood
on the console: a portrait of the Grand Duke
Michael, brother of Paul. was hung. half
concealed, in the corner of the wall. In one
corner of the room stood a common soldier's
musket: and on a small table stood the hel

A FAIR DEER STORY.
George IV. Kendr.ll, Frq., of the New Or
leans nt present "away out, in
Teen s," thus writes to his assotiates of the
P;co:,stne at New Otdcans:—
Nrw BRA CNFEL', Nor. 11, ISSC.—I will
giro you an accnunt of my doings for the
last week. Oa Sunday last, I started for
Post Oak, with Mr. Judson, a merchant here
who wanted a few days' recreation. At
night we encamped wader nike oak tree, on
the Moto six miles this side of Post
Oak, where ace cut a bee tree, that gave us
over two Itticketsfiti/ add:dons honey. On
Monday we killed three deer, two of them
fatter bucks titan you ever saw. On Mon
day. we started off to a prescinct, fire miles
distant and voted. On Wednesday we
eaut,-ht a ix/V.B of trout, out of a creek on
our land, which would make your mouth
water. Each night we bad severe frosts,
but I slept well enou c e,h on the ground, under
idanketi—sheep's skins underneath. On
Thursday we killed two more dear, (nothing
else to eat at Post Oak.) and on Friday night
we came down here, knocking over another
:Inc buck en the way. Venison is a drag
with us, and I only wish I could send you a
saddle now and then. You may judge nine
kind of deer we have here, when I tell you
that the saddle of a buck I shot ten days
ago weighed nearly-fifty pounds. and cut an
inch and a quarter of fat on the tail! I never
saw anything like it. I hare neglected to
say that every night I slept on the ground:
but this Is nothing in a new country.—nt
have comfortable shelter nt Post Oak by
another year.
I counted forty-seven deer playing near
my wagon the other einy—two of them bucks
nearly as large as mules! I'll have those
bucks yet, sure!
