Hath slept; awake! and pour thy silvery ray,
Through the umbrageous wood-tops,where the song
Of pensive night-bird, plaintive, sweet and low,
Mingles its music with the rill's soft flow.
Awake ! and where the bubbling fountain plays,
Sprinkle it over with a thousand gems;
Make crystal every dewy drop that lays
On the blue violets bending on their
Before eve darkens into night, and throws,
Her sable drapery over their repose.
Awake ! and cheer the seaman, who apart
From all lie loves, o'er the lone deep must roam;
Thv beams are holy to his lonely heart,
For ere lie left his lovely cottage home,
llis latest look, save that to Julia giveq,
Was fixed With hers, on thee, fair star of even.
Pensive the soldier, oa the battle plain,
Hails thy bright rising o'er yon distant tower ;
In fanev hears the gentle song again,
His bride was wont to sing him in her bower—-
When on her lovc'.v face, tliy beams alone.
Peering through clustering roses softly shone.
Thv dowv light, that through the leaves soft gleams.
Brings a full quiet to the tranquil breast;
Yet, though so calm, so throbless still it seems,
Too full of feeling, too aw.ko for rest.
All. all are open, heart, and eye, and ear,
Intensely to enjoy, to sec, to hear.

How noble a structure is that -of the human

inherent in its constitution, arid claims a hearing
amidst the fierce contlicts of the passions; and
though often overborne, never yields its prerogative
as a faithful monitor-.- The man. who heeds the
dictates of his moral judgment, will on all possible
occasions, shun the temptations to an undue exer
cise of the passions. He guards their avenues with
great assiduity; and when excitements cannot be
lorescen or averted, he curbs their fierceness with
a; ght and resolution of the strong man armed.

The superiority of the tpcji who rules his spirit
over the military adventurer, is happily illustrated
in the life of our own noble Washington. Nothing,
in all the admirable qullities for which he was con
spicuous, so much excites our wonder and venera
tion, as the lofty serenity of his naturally impetuous
temperament, in the midst of the most annoying
and protracted embarrassments. Distinguished as
he deservedly is for his military skill and prowess,
the brightest ornament by far of his truly heroic
character, and. most worthy of imitation by all
who aspire to be great and good, is the resolute, the
indomitable firmness with which he ruledhis spirit.
It is this which has raised him above the warriors
and sages cf antiquity.. It is this which inspiring
; the righteous emulation of myriads of ardent and en
ergetic minds, must contribute in no small degree
to lead them on the high road to usefulness on
earth, and happiness in heaven. '
THE FRENCH RETOLCTIOS.
The Effect in England of the French Revolution.
THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS.
From the London Times> Feb. 25.
The French government was prepared to put
down a riot, but it has succumbed to the power of
a revolution. That ominous term must be applied
when the institutions of the country have been sub
verted and the authority of the crown subdued by
military violence. Several legions of the National
Guard, called out for the maintenance of public
order, pronounced for reform," fraternized with
the people, and marched upon the Tuiieries to de
mand the dismissal of the cabinet. The troops of
the line, who were called to oppose this formidable
movement, refused to act against the citizens of .the
National Guard. When the requisition of this
armed multitude reached the royal closet,, all resis
tance seems to have been already at an end. Count
Mole was sent lor, and the administration of M.
Guizot perishqd in presence of this anomalous, and.
we must add, unexpected act of popular sover
iognty. „
We remarked y« &icruay. when assuredly no one
even in Pari* had nresoen this unparallclled catas
trophe, that the leu-t weakness was the surrender
of Ihr more fhun ministerial power; for the obsti
nacy of the Government jn refusing a timely and
moderate concession to public opinion on the re
form question, had left it no alternative but to op
pose a resolute resistance to the popular movements
of iast Tuesday. Their last lauit has been that
their resistance was not resolute enough. They
were in possession of all that military power could
give them to maintain the authority of the crown.
They had no reason to doubt that the Umrgcoixs'e of
Paris, which.detests popular tumult*, on account of
-the injury they indict on trade, would come for
ward to protect the-public peace, as it had been
done on more alarming occasion.-: still less did
they suppose—though in this re.-pact they wore
grossly mistaken—that the arms of the National
Guard would be u>ed to protect the popul ;ce. and
to dictate to the sovere.gn. Put the contagion o!
revolutionary passion spread with feir.ui rapidijv.
What seemed impossible on one day. \v;>. accom
plished on the next; and. as if to render the triumph
of public opinion, and of the. popular will, more
ab&ohite and complete, the.-e indexible minister*,
this tenacious king, this audacious military chief,
this armv? with all its fortifications, arm* and pow
ers. sink into impotent submission, almost without
the discharge of a shot or the loss of a life.
The magnitude of se li an event cannot be over
rated. The royality of July has well nigh ended
as it began; and after the labors, the struggles, and
the contrivances of 17 years, it has undergone a
defeat scarcely less deceive, and more' surprising
than that of the elder Bourbons. For 17 years
the policy of Louis Phillippe has been a continued
.protest against the principle of popular power, to
'which lie owes his throne; but it was in his des
tiny, to feel once mure the bitterness of a losing
cause —to stand again on the verge of anarchy, an 1
to* learn that the tcrribile energies of the French
revolution defy the stoutest precautions oi authority.
Buch a del'eas is the temporary annihilation of gov
ernment. No security remains. The court, which
has been obliged to yield yesterday, and to dismiss
an' unpopular Minister, stands comparatively un
armed in presence of an excited people, whose an
imosity may pos-ibly lie directed «re long against a
more illustrious head. The danger which has been
di.-sipated by such a Tardy concession, is insignificant
in comparison with those which now he betore the
country. France ha* been suddenly ami violently
awakened from apathy to revolution. The-e events
in i’aris will shake the kingdom with electric force.
They will reverberate through Europe. where the
materials of combustion aie already profusely
strewn abroad, and at a moment of extreme diffi
culty in many other countries a sudden shock is
felt from the quarter where it was least expected.
Thcie considerations disclose a most threatening
and uncertain future. We turn, however, from
them tp the actual state of affairs in Paris.
The'lirst act of the King, when it was found
ncccseary to yield to the requisition of the armed
people, was to send lor Count Mole. We are as
yet iminibrmed whether M. Guizot's Cabinet vol
untarily tendered its resignation, or whether they
wcrc dismissed on the last emergency.—The list of
Ministers circulated in the Cham her consists of men
of a far more liberal character than those who
have before co-operated with Count Mole. It in
cludes, indeed, those who in IbbU were his most
bitter opponents. Such a Ministry would be pure.
Centre Gauche with a conservative head ; and at
any rate, it is probable that M. Dufaure and M.
Pussy will be the most prominent members of the
new government. 31. Thiers' name has not been
mentioned.
The position of the members of the late cabinet
is beyond measure critical. As ministers, their ill
judged pertinacity has brought the crown into the
cruel necessity of submitting to a popular tumult;
as men, they have inspired their antagonists and
the people generally, with an inconceivable amount
of personal hatred. M. (Ivizot's <:huructa\lhc gigan
tic proportion* of his ambition, the withering scorn of
heloquence, the inaeff.sip'blc height of his disdain, have
left the wounds of "seven .years of triumphant poiccr all
unhealed . After-so great ami lofty a stand against
passions so fierce, and enemies so numerous, such a
man eon hardly fall with security Irom ministerial
dignity to private retirement, lie represents, and
it has been his pride to represent, that principle of
government which this tumult has trampled under
leer, lie applied with urillinching courage and
with blind presumption that theory of power, based
on constitutional laws, in which he believed. Like,
other men equally sanguine und resolute, he has
, lived to see his weapons shattered in the hour of l
| his severest trial: yet he will probably exhibit to '
| the world a spirit in adversely entitled to more re
-1 spect than the questionable feats of his diplomacy
: of his parlimeutary tactics. The impeachment
I preferred against the government, and supported
J by the signatures of lil'ty members of the Chamber
|of Deputies, is not now an idle menace. It involves
i the very serious question of the responsibility of
! these deplorable disturbances. One party or the i
| other stands convicted ot having brought the state
! to the brink of revolution. It is of course the con
| quered party which bears the reproach, and must
i suffer the punishment. As we showed yesterdav.
| the fatal resolution of tiie government, and the mad
J imprudence of the opposition, have equally contrib
| uted to the calamitous result: the opposition can
1 onlv endeavor to shako off' the burden of this charge,
! by Throwing the whole of it on the fallen.
I We do not, for an instant, doubt that the men
: who will be called upon'-? to assume the duties of
i government at this crisis, will exert all their powers
: to restore peace to the city, to maintain authority,
! to prevent a violent popular reaction, am! tofcrescue
their sovereign from the hazardous position in
which he has been left by his late advisers. Twen
ty-four hours have sufficed for the monarchy of July
to slide precipitately from the height it had so labo
riously attained ; and the Prince who was dream
ing but yesterday of the schemes of Louis XIV,
! the subjugation of Spain, and the repression ot
I Italy, the intervention of Switzerland, and the for
| cible coercion of the radical party at home..wakes
j the following morning in the rough harness and
the equivocal position of our old friend the Citizen
| King. We have no wish to recriminate at such a
distressing moment, when we are keenly alive to
the dangers which this event must propagate over
the world; yet it cannot but be observed* that the
delusions of the Trench government, which it lias
followed to the length of infatuation and ruin, co
incide with its estrangement from the alliance of
this country. Spanish intrigue and Austrian coun
sels were the appropriate diplomatic pursuit of a
Cabinet which had turned its back on free Eng
land, and threatened to sacrifice to the interests of
a dynasty the peace of the world.
The task of the new Cabinet must be one of ex
treme difficulty; for, whatever concessions may be
made, whatever changes may be proposed, the gov
ernment has received a shock which undoes the
w ork of years. This new Ministry can scarcely
hope to oppose any certain resistance to the pre
tensions of the popular party, to which they them
selves hardly belong. .The under-current of this
movement will turn qiittobe republican; and, al
though a victor}* has been won in themame of the
people, it still remains'to be seen who is-to profit
: by it. We believe the result of these disturbances
i to have been so extremely unforeseen, that the pop
ular leaders vvero'unprepared to take full advantage
of them. In spite, however, of the momentary
combination between the National Guard of Paris
and the populace, by which this blow has; been
struck, it is highly improbable that any such union
can last. The tendencies and wishes of these two
classes of citizens are totally distinct from each
other. The vast majority of the householders oj
Paris will be found to deprecate these political con
vulsions, by which they suffer most heavily. We
will add, that a vast majority of the French people
dread'revoliitions far more than they desire them ;
and that although a day of excitementmay prompt
them to trample on the law, and to inflict indeli
ble injury on the constitution, it is by no means
probable that a factious minority will succeed in
plunging that powerful nation into lasting anarchy.
The powers and firmness of the new administra
tion will, however, at once, be tried ; for the mor
row of a revolution is already a day of resistance.
The French News in the British Parlicnncut.
In the House of .Commons, on the 25th ultimo.
Lord Palmerston, in reply to a question bv Mr.
Hindlcy. stated that the latest official intelligence
received from Paris, announced merely the retire
ment of M. Guizot and his colleagues, and the com
mission given to Count Mole to fornvan adminis
tration: so far official intelligence behind
that which we were able to give in our late edi
tions, actually printed and in circulation 'when
Lord Palmerston was speaking.
The rumor of the abdication of the King of the
French reached the House of Commons shortly al
ter lour o'clock, and of course it pruduo-d a good
deal of excitement in the House. .For mjuic time
alter the rumor became known, knots of members
clustered at the bar, standing round Mr. Stuart
Wortley. who appeared to be retailing the intelli
gence lrom one of the daily papers. Immediately
alter the curiosity of the honorable members as
sembled at the bar had been gratified, the portion
of the paper containing the interresting piece of
telegraphic news, was torn out. and then handed
up to the Speaker. At this moment Sir R. Pec!
entered the House,and on taking his usual seat op
posite the table, the slip was passed to him. The
right honorable baronet, thinking. m» doubt, tint it ;
was an ordinary communication, allowed some j
minutes to elapse befoic he lookbd at it. but no I
sooner had lie glanced over it rhsn he hurried‘j
across the floor to the treasury benches, where I
Lord John Russell and J„ord Palmerston had just I
taken their seats, and handed the document to these |
two noble lords, who eagerly devoured its contents. :
The Right Honorable Baronet held a short but evi
dently animated conversation with the two noble
Lords, ami then returned to the opposition. The
stir and excitement which the news had created
amongst honorable members did not subside till
Lord Palmerston had answered the question of Mr.
Hindley. and the House had entered upon the con-j,
sideration of Mr. Hume's motion.
The Fefonn Banquets of France—Their Character
and Influence. ■ -
From the London Herald, Feb. 14.
Our readers may remember that during the sum
mer and autumn of the past year, the public din
ner custom, if you will, constitutional mania of
Lngland. extended itself to France.. There was
scarcely a considerable town or city of the king
dom which had not what is called by our neigh
bors its reunion politique. East, west, north and
south, the custom extended itself, and Lille, (Dijon,
Chalons, and Amiens may. among other towns and
cities, be cited as having adopted the English cus
tom oi assembling, feeding, drinking, toasting and
speechifying. About fifty or sixty banquets, we
believe, took place between the. propagation of the
French Chambers, in June or July, and their re-as
sembling again at the ending of December. . At
these banquets about a hundred nvmbers, irttlifler
ent’y composed of the centre qaurhe. g nurhr. e.e.'rerne
gcue/ir. and some few oi liie t.r r-.;iie droitc. attend
ed; and the sentiments, opinions, and oratory were
of course very diverse ami very unequal.
i he grout mover and entrepreneur, if’ v.e may so
speak, of these constitutional exhibitions, was NT.
Duvergier d lhiuranne, the deputy of Sauecrre, who
began his public life some tbreo or foul*and twenty
years ago as one of the writers in the GJohr 'news
paper, and who. though he cast off'his allegiance to
M. Guizot in Ibb'J, and has since been an assiduous
follower of M. Thiers, has never once wavered in
his predilection lor constitutional government, ru
in his desire to soeme the liberties of hi* country
■ on a solid basis.
Of respectable character. competent io: iane.auu
considerable acquired kn<>\v:-\ M. d'liaaraiii,*.*
is neither by nature or by habit of turbulent or

lose than fo gain by any movement partaking of
three and violence, and any one who has read hi*
pamphlets or his speeches would readily admit, mm.
though nut in-.cnsible to the advantage* of active
agitation, he desires to accomplish no ekaugi >
otherwise than openly, legally, and coa>.titut:onaliy.
Associated with the deputy for buneerre were
sumcol the most eloquent and aide men of Trance,
whether as writers, men of science, lawyers, pub
licists. or orators. We n<v-d but name Lamartine.
Odillon Barrot. Aragn, Mari'*. Ifiilh'*. rrorrmnix
and others.
Of Lumartiiie, a gentleman by birth, and of no !
inconsiderable lortune, the renown as writer and
speaker,- is European. Odillon Barrul. foo, lor .
jears, lias occupied a high pu.siti"ii, not merely in
the chambers, but at the bar. Arai'n i.< a man of
world.wide renown ; and Marie, l'aillel. and (YE
mi'Uiw arc among the TalloimL, < Wklmm.vJer*
vi.-cs, Pemberton laughs, and George Turners of
Trance. With such men. other* oi holder eharae
tor and extremer opinions, such, Ihr instance, as M.
Lodru Bolin, the deputy lor Mons, occasionally
sought to associate themselves ; but we must do M.'
OdilLon Barrot the justice to say that though he did
not rudely repel, jet he did not invite this co-oper
ation; i;nd the moderate members of the gauche
generally showed rather a distaste than a desire for
the cumbersome aid of the vehement or the violent.
Tnder such circumstances it was that the greater
number of the dinners came off! to u»c a sporting
phrase. There was at the festive board, some
good, much indifferent, and a very great deui of
bad speaking on the subject of parliamentary re
lorm. and on the whole we began to think that a
healthy excitement in the public mind had been
produced towards the end of September, and that
there was then really a prospect of ><v*n witnessing
tiie rational progress of constitutional opinions in
Trance. Towards the beginning of autumn, how
ever, some very ignorant, audacious, and ill-advised
persons, thought proper to omit the king s health
at two or three ok the banquets, and this omission
—which the nation in general, and moderate men
of all parties, regretted and deplored—is now un
; wisely seized upon by the Ministers to stigmatise
J the whole system of public dinuers generally, and
ot public meetings lor the discussion of popular
topics and grievances. Not merely in the tenth
und last paragraph in the address in answer to the
king's speech leveled at them under the designation
“passions eneemis" and “entrainemente avougies, ’
but Ministers have been so rash and ill-advised as
j to disinter an old and obsolete police law of 1790,
: passed by the Assemble National?, with a view to
| proclaim the banquets as illegal, and to prevent
' that of the twelfth arrondissement' of Paris from
i taking place. Such a stretch of power as this—
and the proclamation of such doctrines in the year
lb-18—not merely in France, but in Paris, fifty-nine
years alter the first revolution, and eighteen years
alter a second, accompanied by a change of dynas
ty,appears not merely unwise and inopportuae.but
rash, hazardous, and fraught with temerity and dan
ger, neither remote nor contingent, whether in re
ference to sovereign, ministry, or the country at
large. The opposition, of all shades, are, while we
write, up in arms against the ministry,and,viewing
the fray from afar, we must say with more than a
show of reason.
We should ourselves be the last to tolerate disre
spect, much less disaffection, to the person, of the
sovereign of any State, constitutional or despotic.
Such condnct is not merely unmannerly,.disgraceful,
and unwise, but it is a high crime and misdemeanor
against the first principles of constitutional govern
ment, which proclaim the person of' the sovereign
inviolable—his ministers being the persons wholly
iesponsible. Instead, therefore, of seeking to slight
the monarch, by the' omission of his name, the
persons guilty of This unpardonable'piece of igno
rant and impudent omission, wouldfhad they known
better, have directed their aim at his majesty's con
stitutional advisers. It is not, however, because
certain burgesses and gros bonnets fourres of AmicriJ,
or elsewhere, have played the silly game ofM.
Ledru Rolin, that ministers should throw down
the gauntlet to the whole opposition, bring ihe
name of their sovereign in question, charge on the
whole body the acts of a few “bouts feu? seelclto
put a stop to all'public banquets and public meet
ings, and try, by every moans, fair and unfair, jto
revive an unpopular police, law of an evil atad
branded epoch, to stifle free opinion, and strangle
free discussion, as was well said in the debate by
M. Lesseps. Indeed, it seems nothing less thpir
midness and folly to think of governing the full
grown France ot IS4S by an erdonnance of the
police signed Trielluirtf, and dating so far back hs
1790. when-the country was in a state of constitu
tional infancy, and to contend that Frenchmen, now
grown to men s estate in. constitutional knowledge,
shall not, towards the middle of the 19th century,
meet in greater numbers than IS or 19 without
being summarily dispersed. The promulgation bf
doctrines such as these, at the present period, is not
merely inexpedient and inadvisable, but dangerous
to the repose of France, and to the peace of Europje.
Min-sters have, however, contended that they are
within the letter of a police law. though the con-'
trary was forcibly argued by M. Feuillarie Chauvin,
himself a magistrate, and by members of the bir
ol such repute as Marie, I3arrot. I’aicilet, and Crc
mieux. It is true tiiat M. Hebert, the Garde
Seeaux, and M. Chogaiy.'. Avocat General at. tHe
Court of Cassation, maintain the perfect legality
ol the act of theC'abinot. But trie arrogant and
j indiscreet tone in which this legality was pro-
I claimed,only inflamed the choler of the opposition,
1 and their chief exclaimed that these lawyers weri
worse than cither IVyronnet or Folignac. i
for ourselves, we wish to see France a great, k
powerful, and a free nation, not merely in the in
terests of France, but of the civilized world; anti
it is because we wish to sec her great and power
ful that we deprecate scenes such'as this. It wafe
auiuvrs such as M. Hubert and Chegaray, that ni
iuecl the government oi the restoration, and it may.
we think, be well doubt 'd whether the increased
majority obtained by the dissolution of 1846, and
tno tone in r-.nstjqiwuee adopted, has not been of
infinite d’-servo'C to the government of J*l. Guizo^.

Anecdote of John Quincy Ariamti.
Ik chvcyz dared to do rizht. or what he thought
to be right. When minister at the Netherlands,and
comparatively a youth, he was invited to join the
several ambassadors of different nations at, that
Court, in a gathering for social enjoyment, in which
cheerful conversation, and gaming for amusement,
we believe, bore a part. Once they adjourned tb
a Sabbath evening. The time came, and the am
bassadors collected; but the American minister
was missing. It occasioned inquiry and disappoint
ment: but presuming some special or invincible
obstacle prevented his attendance, thev said little
of the circumstance, and adjourned again to Sab
bath evening. Bur the. American Ambassador did
not attend. The next meeting was on a week-daV
evenintr. and the American was.iii his place. They
were glad to see him, and signified their disappoint
ment at his previous ab-onc'-. Instead of making
'.'i a J . ,, '.'-'gy. ' r umuig a .'.v’ilioi.s reason, be
fran'cly stat-’d in tiiorn, tint hi* principles would
not allow him thus to employ any part of the Sab
bath. He was horn in a country settled by Puri
tail', of Puritan parents, who regarded the Sabbath
as a divine ordinance. He hud witnessed the goad
inducnce of its religious observance in the greater
intelligence, the pure morals, the cnergv. enterprise,
and orderly habits of his countrymen. As a friend
of his counirv, therefore, he could not pervert the
day. or u.-o it for other purpo-r-s th in those to which
he had tvijh: t-> dc.nto it. and seen it devoted

of the place which nature and society would assign
her. hv sensuality or by ' contempt; admired, but
not respected; desired, but not esteemed; ruling by
passion, not affection: imparting her weaknesses,
not cor.nUucy, to the sex she could exalt, the source
and mirror ol vanity; we see .her a wile partaking

fectionate and ardent instructress of the children
whom she tended from their infancy,training them
to thought ?nd benevolence, addressing- them as ra
tional beings, preparing them to become men and
women in their turn. Mechanics 7 daughter make
