hi the MOO of the Austrian you found him;
lie died with hi, face to you all;
Yet bury him here where around kim
You honor your bravest that fall..
Venetian, fair featured and slender, _
He lies shot to death in his youth,
'With aftmile on his lips over-tender
For any mere soldiers dead mouth
No stranger, and yet not a traitor!
Though alien the cloth ou his breast.
linderneqh it how seldwgreater
itito rest
By your enemy tortured and goaded
• To march with them, stand in their file
His musket (see !) never was loaded—
lie facing your guns with a smile.
As orphans yearn on to their mothers,
Ile yearned to your patriot bands--
"Let me die for our Italy, brothers,
If not in your ranks, by your hangs.'
"Aim straight, the steadily ; spare me
A ball in the body, ,;which may
Deliver my heart here and tear me
This badge of the Austrian sway."
So thought he, so died he this morning;
What, then? many others have died,
.Ay—but easy for men to die scorning
The death-stroke, who fought side by side;
One tri-color floating above them ;
Struck down 'mid triumphant acclaims
4)f an Italy rescued to love them
And blazon the brass with their names.
But—he without witness or honor, '
Mixed, shamed in his country's regard,
'With the tyrants who marched in upon her—
Died faithful and passive; 'twas harq,
'Tomas sublime. In a cruel restriction
Cut off from the guerdon of sous;
With most filial obedience conviction,
Ills soul kissed the lips of her guns.
That moves you! nay, grudge not to show it
.While digging a grave for him here ;
The others who died, says your Poet,
llave glory; let him have a tear.
LITERARY AND ART ITEMS.
Shetch'of the Poet Southey.
Robert Southey is one of the most volu
minous writers in the language, and he has
acquired fame as a poet, historian, critic and
biographer. His knowledge was immense,
Itikassiduity untiring. He toiled as steadily
as - the laborer whose daily . work earns the
daily food, and almost his only relaxation
was a change of literary employment:
. Perhaps no man ever worked harder or led , 1
a happier life. "I have lived in the sun
shine," he said; and on reading his biography
it can scarcely be doubted that he made. much
of the sunshine in which he lived. He was
born at Bristol, on the 12th of August,
and"has related in his own beautiful English
the story of his school days, and
sketched with much humor the character
of the aunt in whose house much
of his holiday time was spent. Miss Tyler
was a very extraordinary personage, full of
Strange - habits and crotchets. She took more
precautions against dust "than - would have
been needful against the plague in an infected
city." "I have seenher," writes her nephew,
"order :the tea-kettle to 'be emptied and re
filled because some one bad passed across the
hearth while it was on the fire' preparing for
her breakfast. She had a cup once buried
- for - six - Weeks - to - purify-it from the lips of one
whom she accounted unclean; all who were
not her favoiites were included in that class.
A. chair in which an unclean person had sat.
was put out in the garden to be aired; and
never saw her more annoyed than on one'
occasion when a man who called upon busi
---BCOS seared bitoselt in her own chair: how
the - cushion wag ever again to be red
/Mt 1.700 ftho knOw not." Most
great men have bad good if not great mothers,
and Southey is not an exception to the rule,
''Take her for all in all," he writes, "1: do
not believe that any huinan being ever
brought into the world; and carried through
it, a larger portion of original goodness than
my dear mother. Every one who knew her
loved her, for she seemed to be happy her-
Self, and to make every one happy within
her little sphere. Her understanding was as
good as her heart. It is from her I have in
herited that alertness of mind and quickness
• of apprehension without which it would
have been impossible for me to have under
taken half of •what I have performed. Cad
never blessed a human creature with a more
cheerful disposition, a more generous spirit,a
sweeter temper, or a tenderer heart."
--= The boy's life, although solitary,was
full. Very early he acquired that 'love ,of
reading which' remained with him through
life. His father's library, indeed, consisted
only of the .S'peetator and Guardian, and a
fewpamphlets and plays, but Robert found
the food he loved at a circulating library,
which, to his infinite, delight,contained a copy
of Spenser's , • "Faery Queen." Ho read
Shakespeare, too, and Sir Philip Sidney's
"Arcadia," and other fine old books which
stirred his imagination. and led him into a
world of beauty. Out of doors there was the
freedom of country life, and with his aunt's
Servant-boy, Shad, he would roam about the
rocks and woods on the banks of the Avon in
search of wild flowers.
We must pass over thiS happy time, which
ended when Robert was sent to Westminster
School, whence,,- • after three or four
years. he- was' summarily expelletl for writing
a paper againt corporeal punishment: - Then
we follow him to Baliol College, 'Oxford,
where he tells us that he learned to row and
swim, but did not make great progress in
academical studies. But he .was eager for
general knowledge, and lost no time in- idle-,
ness or dissipation. Years afterwards he re
corded gratefully that with many tempta
tions to vice he was happily preserved from
it. In his nineteenth year Southey
wrote his first epic poem, "Joan of
Arc," and before that time he
bad burnt and lost ten thousand verses. Thus
early did he discover his vocation as an author
and after several efforts in other directions—
for he tried medicine and the law—the poet
returned to his first love. At this time his
political creed_ was in favor of republicanism,
and Ins religious creed was unsettled. His
uncle, a clergyman to whom he was much in
debted, wished Southey to enter the Church,
but he was too honest to undertake a solemn
office for which he knew himself unfitted:
and when afterwards lie was able fully to ac
cept the doctrines of the Church_ ' it is proba
ble that he served her better as a layman than
he would have done as a priest.
Many of our readers will have heard of the
scheme called Pantisocracy, whieh, in their
youthful days, Southey and Coleridge, and a
few men less eminent, embraced with enthu
siasm. They Iv mild migrate to America,
take possession of sonic virgin soil, and sup
port themselves by manual labor, while their
wives would undertake all domestic duties.
The earnings were to be placed in a common
purse, and their leisure hours were to be de
voted to literature and podtry. It was a
pleasant dream, from which Southey
was one of the first, to awaken.
There were three sisters at Bath to
whom three of the Pantisocrats • were
attached. Lovell married one of the trio,
Coleridge another, and Southey, having
promised to accompany his uncle to Portugal,
married on the day of their departure. Bus
_ band and wife parted at the church door, and
Edith Southey preserved her maiden name
and wore her wedding ring hung round her
neck until the event became public. "Should
I perish by'shipwreckir-the poet wrote, "or
by any other casualty, I have relations whose
prejudice will yield to the anguish of atlec
thin, and who will love, cherish, and give all
possible consolation to my widow."
Months afterwards the young couple are in
London, struggling. bravely With a. narrow
and uncertain income, and yet ready, as
Southey ever was, to holdout a helping hand
to others, whether relations or strangers. He
lived from hand ,to..mouth throughout the
greater portion of his life; yet be gave sym
!lathy end money and time, more precious to
him still, to all who , had any claim upon
him, and to many WhO had no chlim what
ever save the brotherhoed of detters. No one
ever made more splendid sacrifices for those
he loved; no one ever thought !less of his
own ' ease, or cared less for mere worldly
aggnindizement.
In I 80 , t, at the age of thirty, Southey took
possession of .Greta Hall, Keswick, a lovely
mountain home, and there, for nearly forty
years he devoted himself to literature, re
fusing more than one munificent offer which
would have drawn him from the mountains
that he loved so well to the distractions of
London life. Years passed on and children
grew up around him. "Every house." he
wrote, "should have in it a baby of six
months and a kitten rising six weeks." How
be loved the music of little ones; how ready
he always was to romp with them or to teach
them;how he would shout with them over the
house,and rejoice in making the loudest noise;
how sometimes he would write nonsense
verses for their amusement, and sometimes
nonsense letters; and how in more serious
Moments he would point them wisely and
cheerfully from the parents' love on earth to
the love of the great Father in Heaven; how
death visited that happy household, taking
from it the dearest lamb orthe flock; and how
after many, many years of home happiness,
the faithful pair were sadly parted, and a
clond,'never more to be .lifted up in this
world, fell upon - the family—all this will be
found in the "Life and Correspondence," in
which, for the most part in .the poet's
language, his career is recorded. All we can
do here is to give one or two bright glimpses
of the poet's- home while the sunshine was
resting on:it.
"The happiest lives. ' " said Southey, speak
ing of his owu, -'`are those which have the
least variety;" and in a letter to a friend he
says: "lNly actions are as regular as those of
St. Dunstan's quarter-boys. Three pages of
history after breakfast (equivalent to five in
small quarto printing); then to transcribe and
copy for the press, or to make my selections
and biographies, or what else suits my humor
till dinner time; from dinner till tea I read,
write letters, see the Vnewspaper, and very
often indulge in a siesta—for sleep agrees
with me, and I have a good substantial
theory to prove that it must—for as a man
who walks much requires to sit down and
rest himself, so does the brain, if it be the
part most worked, require its repose. Well,
after tea I go to poetry ; and correct, and
rewrite, and copy till I am tired, and then
turn--to anything else till supper; and this
is my lifewhich, if it be not a very merry
one, is yet as happy as heart could wish. "
His writings do . not make him a rich man,
but he knows that they will give him a
pernianent name in literature; and that'
"one overwhelming propensity has formed
his destiny, and marred all prospects of
rank and wealth; but it has made him happy,
rind will 'make- him _ immortal. - " Southey
cared, nothing, however, for the kind of
applause which a man of genius gains in
society. All his happiness was centered
beneath his own roof-tree; and •once when in
Edinburgh, ,'and after spending a few days
with Walter Scott, he writes thus to his wife:
"What I have' now to Say to you is, that
having been eight days from home; with as
little discomfort, .d as little reason for
discomfort as a man can reasonably ex
pect, I have yet felt so little comfortable,
So great sense of solitariness, and so many
homeward yearnings, that certainly I will
not go to Lisbon without you; a resolution
which', if your feelings be at all like mine,
will not displease you. * * * * But for
your sake as well as my own, and for little
Edith's sake, L will not consent to any sepa
ration. Ishe growth of a year's love between
her and me, if it please Gott -that.. she should
live, is a thing too delightful initself, and too
valuable in its consequences both to her and
me, to be given up for any light inconve
niences, either• orja.ur part or mine. An
absence of a year viduld make her etk:ctually
forget me. *. * * But of these thins we
will talk at leisure; only, dear, ,:dear
we must not part."
At another' tithe, when invited by some
great men to Londini, he writes: "Oh dear
oh dear there's such a comfort in one's old
Coat and old shoes, one's own chair and own
fireside, one's own writing-desk and' own
library—with a little girl 'climbing up to my
neck and saying, 'Don't golo:London, papa;
you must stay with Edith l'—and a little boy
whom I have taught to speak thiPliinguage of
cats, dogs, cuckoos, jackasses, &c., before he
can articulate a word of his own—there is
such a comfort in all these things that trans
portation to London seems a heavier punish
ment than any sins of mine deserve."
Southey's library consisted of several thou
sand volumes. It was his joy and pritle,-and
lie deemed the arrival of a box of books "the
highest possible terrestrial
.plcasure." "My
study, he writes, "commands the finest view
in England;" and in his "Colloquies," he says:
"Here I possess the gathered treasures of
ire, the harvest of so ninny generations laid
up in my garners; and when 1 go to Hie-win
dow thereis the lake, and the circle of moun
tains, and the illimitable sky."
, The writer of this paper obtained admit
tance to Greta Hall a year or two since. It
contains no longer any trace of the poet lau
reate, awl the room once his , iligary was
crowded with articles of -Vdrtal, pictures,
stuffed birds, and curiosities of every descrip
tion, packed aping - the walls or lying about
upon the floor. It was sad to think of the
change thattime had wrought; yet surely not
altogether sad, for iv ise and beautiful thoughts
and blessed deeds live on through ages, and
in a life like Southey's there can be no failure.
Marriage and. Literature.
If Milton married three times and Shake
speare once, the former enjoyed little conju
gal felicity, and the latter lived alone (hiring
his productive years. Bacon and GOthe
married late in life. La Fontaine married at
twenty-six, but abandoned his wife early in
the honey-moon, and never saw her again ex
cept on business. 3loliere suffered, says
Voltaire, in the marriage which he contracted
at forty-one, twelve years before his death,

early in life, and years before he wrote the
play upon which his reputation rests,
lost two wives, one of
. whom he
was calumniously reported to have
poisoned. Addison, at forty-four, three
years before his death,' married a
countess, "who was no better," says Thacke
ray, "than a shrew and vixen." Sterne com

the flow of his idea's, and finds inspiration in.,

Anstophanes, Anacreon, - Ltierefititi, -- Virgil, ---
Horace, Voltaire,. Rousseau, Swift, Pope,
Goldsmith, Heine, Balmic, Beranger, Sainte-

Thoreau, never married. In. the kindred arts,
the great names of Beethoven and
Michael Angelo, of whom their biogra
pliers assert, not only that they never married,
but that they never loved in any but a Platonic
sense, are enough to cite. Of female writers,
many of the most eminent, from Miss Austen,
the excellent teller of domestic tales,' to Miss .
:3;lartin, Miss Cobbe, Miss Howett and Miss
Bremer, never took husband; while others,
like Miss Bronte, found that matrimony put a
needle between their fingers instead of a pen.
Almost all the great writers of the Middle
Ages were ecclesiastics,and of course celibates.
And'as marriage among the Greeks was sim,
ply a housekeeping arrangement, the husband
spending his day and evening abroad, while
the wife sewed, cooked and paid the,bills, all
the Athenian poets and philosophers
should be accounted bachelors. A. large pro
portion of the writers whose works belong to
the same general class with those of. Lamb,
the writers whose Privilege it has been to
enliven, cheer and sweeten life, were either
bachelors or unfortunate husbands. Happy
or not themselves, they haVe: been the cause
of happiness to others, have reached the
secret sprins of laughter and of tears, and
by those touches of nature which make the
whole world kin, have awakened the better
selves of their readers, and communicated to
them the love for their fellow-beings with
which their own hearts were filled. The
writings of Goldsmith, Irving and Lamb
gbound in proofs that to love woman it is not
necessary to be a husband, that to love
children it is not necessary to be a father, and
that we may "love our brethren of mankind'

There are very few newspaper readers in
the country who are not familiar with the
Springfield Republican: The number is still
less of those who have not heard of "Timothy
Titcomb;" and yet comparatively few are
acquainted with the name of Dr. Holland,
to whom the success of the Republican has
been in a certain measure due, and whose
nom-de-phone is so well known. Since the
days when lecturing began,, Dr. Holland has
been so prominently and constantly in the
field, that many have .of heard him who
never knew him as author or editor. We
have thought that all our readers, whether
they haVe heard his lectures or read his
poetry, would be pleased to know more of
the' man and his life, his habits, and his
home.
There is no writer' in New England who
gets his inspiration ,more directly froth Ply
mouth Rock than Dr. Holland. He was
born in Massachusetts (Belchertown), and
is as much impregnated with - Massachusetts
ideas and thoughts as any man upon her
soil.
He has written out, more than any other
author, the real heart of New England, the
practical sense of the Old Bay State: Born
poor, the son of a mechanic, he floated into
medicine, acqUired an M. D., and, hung out
his shingle: in Springfield. During his boy
hood, however, he lived at different times in
Heath, Granby, South Hadley, and North
ampton. He received his education in the
high -- school in-Northampton— : Afterward-he-I,
taught penmanship, worked in a silk factory,
and took dagnerreotype4 but feeling that
his field
.was destined to be greater, he at
tended medical- lectures at Pittsfield, and, as
the Doctor once told us with much gusto,
found his way - to Springfield ;with two
dollars in his pocket, and without the
slightest F•liadOW tf a Umnght of the future
that was before him. For a year or two he '
had sad times enough in the city where - now
he makes life go so smoothly.. Patients were
few, friends were fewer, money was scarce,
debts. became multiplied, marriage made new
necessities, and the future looked dark.
Throwing down the scalpel, the Doctor re 4.,
solved to become a pedagogue. But jtist, at
this time he was tempted into the publication
of a weekly paper at Springfield, which used
up all his available funds,.and left, him in debt.
lie then went. to Richmond, Va., capa
city of teacher. Troubles anti disappoint
ments still hovered about him, and he made
• a new move to Vicksburg, Miss: Here he
acted in the capacity of Superintendent of
Schools, receiving one thousand dollars a
year.: The .clouds gathered more thickly,
nand finally., Mrs. Hollaud having been
.called North by the siekness oi' a near
relative, the Doctor was so despon
dent that he gave up his position and
Billowed after. We have often liLitd him 're
late his melancholy feelings at this time. 'He
had tried everything from making daguerreo
types to editing and te•tching, and lorttane
did not seen). to smile upon him. Arrived-at
- Springfield, now twenty years ago, on iris
way to his home, the eyes, of Mr. Bowles,
editor and proprietor of the Springfield Re
publican, fell upon him. Divining the
genius that was bound to make itsclf'known,
Mr. Bowles at once made an engagement
with him at five hundred dollars a year, juiSt
half what he had been receiving in Missis
sippi. From that tilde until 184;6 he worked
constantly upon the Republican. Since
then he has had little to do with the. paper,
but has been hard at work as lecturer anti
author: In the spring of I see he sold his in
terest in the Republican (a little more than
a quarter) for twenty-six thousaneldollars. '
Dr. Holland, as an editor, was not partic
ularly remarkable. His first employer, Mr.
Samuel Bowles, Senior, and his subsequent
associate, the present Mr. Bowles; were both
his superiors as managint , ' journalists. But
he had great power tbr didactic writing. In
spired by a high moral purpose, lie wrote as
he thought and felt. For a special occasion
he would sometimes write very remarkable
articles. His "Crystal Christmas - is one of
the finest tarcimens of newspaper writing
that we remember to have seen. His style
was altogether his own, as he never gave
himself much to the study of that of others.
On one occasion, observing but few books
about his house, we asked him how
he had rained all his information whereby he
essayed to be au author. Ile exclaimed at
once, "I read men rather than books." For
a king time the opinion was (-Amon that, Dr.
Holland was editor-in-duet' of 'the Repub
lican. This was a mistake, however, since
Mr. Samuel, Bowles and himself shared the
labor and struggles of the enterprise. There
is not, so good an editor in all the country as
Mr. Samuels Bowles, and, as a writer of
special articles for newspapers, there is no
one superior to the subject of this siuetck.
Working on year after year, Mr. Bowles and
himself made the success of the Republican.
Dr. Holland, the author, is better known.
His first work was a "History of Western
Massachusetts." Then came a not very suc
cessful novel entitled "The Bay Path." Next
appeared the "Titcorrib Letters", of which,
over fifty, thousand copies have been sold.
The Doctor relates-of these that he tried four
publishers .before he found one to take them
in hand. Mr, Scribner was fortunate enough
to see in theM a great success. Next Dr.
Holland made a venture as al poet, producing
that delightful song of New England - home
life, which so happily bears the title of "Bitte
Dr. J. G. Holland.
Sweet. There have been Sold of this poern
'forty thousand copies more.than can be said
of any other American poem with but . one
exception. Once more the doctor tried his
- hand - at a novel,-and--brought-out-"Miss -Gg—
bert's Career." Then came "Gold Foil,"
"Lessons in Life," "Plain Talk on Familiar
Subjects," "Life of Abraham Lincoln." and
since then a volume or two for distribution
by agents. The publi#iers of this "Life of
Abraham Lincoln" oflt,red him three thou
sand dollars for the work. His' own price
was five thousand dollars. They finally
compromised by. agreeing that he should
receive twenty cents on every copy sold. As
over one hundred thousand copies have been
sold,it will be easy to perceive what the Doc
tor's profits haVe been.
He has of late been at work upon a some
what lengthy poem, which will doubtless be
his best effort, and which will be ready early
in the fall. It will, be published by Messrs.
Scribner & Co. Dr. Holland has delivered a
good many occasional poems, and among his
lesser poems is one of ' great
beauty, entitled "Under the Stars." A
collection of his minor poemS will doubtless
be made in due time. In magazines he has
written but little, having contributed but one
article to the Atlantic, and two or three to
_Hours at Monte.
'Dr. Holland is very widely known as a
lecturer. He socmtimes makes from sl,ooo
to $5,000 in a single winter delivering lec
tures. His special field is the West, where
his popularity is greater than that of any
other author or lecturer. Last winter he re
tired from the field, but is likely to enter upon
t again the coming winter. He also contem
plates a trip to England, but what with his
poem, his new home, and a new church, of
which he is a principal thunder, he iS not
likely to go abroad before next spring.
Within the past three or four years, Dr.
Holland has been building and beautifying
for himself a delightful home on an eminence
near Springfield. This home he now occu
pies, naming it "Brightwood," It is a
charming retreat, looking out through the
trees upon the silver winding Connecticut.
Everything that taste Can 'suggesthas been
added to make " Brightwood' pleasant. It
has cost its owner full thirty thousand dollars,
and many additions and improvements are
yet to be made. The Doctor's family consists
of his wife, a refined and attractive lady, and
three children - . He has a church of his own
founding almost within his own grounds, and
is superintendent of its Sabbath-school. In
611 matters which have to do with public or
private morals, he is particullrly earnest. lo
Person he is very handsome—of fine figure
and a must attractive r d itopressive face.
Tie has a great heart, go' at; indeed, that
he will not share in ridicule oIN any human
being. His feelings are intense, and his
moods variable. To all his friends he is
sparkling with cheeriness and life. To young
men, especially - , he is a brother and friend.
He is an indomitable worker, and, to our
view, ranks as one of the most useful, bril
liant arid successful Of American authors. In
the literary world he seeks few associates or
companions. Y. Gracile.
Brief( Epititles.
It has often occurred to us that an amusing
brochure might be made by gleaning from
the correspondence and -sayiugs of certain
persons-like Wellington, noted for their la
conic style, a collection of memorable re
marks and epistles. "Brevity is the soul of
wit," says Hamlet; and yet "Brevity,
made Al
point of—that is, studied and affected brevity, •
—it is far indeed from being a beauty,either in
speaking_or_writing. Horace ridicules this
error in "Becris csBc laboro"---1 make a
great effort- to be bkief, and the consequence
is that lam unintelligible. Wilberforce was
of the same opinion. He once observed to g a
friend, "Do not curtail too much; portable
soup must be diluted before it can be used. -
Une of the best specimens of the laconic
style was Wellington's reply to an officer 's
long-winded application for permission to re
main in England when his' regiment
was • ordered
_to, India, It sonsisted of
but three words: "gill or Sell.
Quite as good was Sir Charles Napier's an
nouneenient of his victory—"Peceaci"—l
have Scinde. The laconic correspondence
letween Grant and Sheridan, when Lee was
returning from Richmond, was as good as
Putnam's u•eply-to the British commander,
who threatened retaliation in ruse the Con

Some of our young readers' may not have
heard of the famous letters which passed be
tween the adverse chiefs of O'Connell and
Tyrone:
"Pay me my tribute, or it you don:1-
7‘O'Cosslim.."
"I owe you no tribute, and, if I did -L
, "O'Nfin,."
The poet Rogers used to relate a story of
the brevity ot-Tallyrand's correspondence;
for, once a lady friend wrote to him in terms
of the deepest grief, informing him of the
death.of her husband, and expecting a long
letter of condolence in return; but. the emi
nent 'minister's answer was only:
"lIELAS MADAME : Votre affectionne, &c.
"TALLYHANo."
in less than a twelv month the same lady
wrote that she had m rrietl again, to which the laconic reply was:
"Oh! Oh! Madame !
`'Votre affectionne, tkLe.,7'".

The same poet had another good story
about au American lady. To his brief invi
tation,
"Will you come to breakfast to-morrow?

she replied,

Almost as good was the answer of Mary
Stoddard, of , AVeathel sfield, Conn., to her
clerical suitor, who lived in ~.a neighboring
town. As she could not give him au answer
when he proposed, he requested that she
would take a week for consideration, and
then send her answer by letter. On the
eighth day it appeared, and it is undoubtedly.
the most laconic epistle ever penned. Here
is the mock', letter, which was soon fol
. lowed by a wedding:

Equally laconic, 'and more kindly than
^Tallyrand's correspondence, was that which
passed between Garrick's widow and Edmund
Kean,: the elder, after the old lady had seen
.the latter's performance of a part in which her
celebrated husband was matchless:
"MT DEAR Sin :—You can't play, Abel
Drugger,
"Yours faithfully,
-"C. Gmatiox."l
To which the modern lloscius :laconically
replied :
"Mr Danullinnfol:- - 1 know it.
"Yours very faithfully,
-"EDMUND
The famous actor Foote's correspondUnce
with his mother was equally pithy and brief:
"DEAR SON: I'm in prison.
"Your loving mother,
A. FOOTE."
"DEAR MoTIIER: So am I.
"Your affectionate son,
''Sr.A FOOTE."
Beau Brumrnell, the particular friend of
the Prince of Wales, afterwards George the
Fourth, had the following correspondence
with one of his boon companions just before
he bolted for France to escape his creditors.
It ran thus:
"DEAR DAVIES: LOII4 All •my
money is in three per cents. BItIjNIMELI.. "
"D.Enn BRUMMEI,I.: All my money is in
the three per cent.'s also.
Senors DAVIEIP."
After a famous English boxer had beaten
Mendoza, the Jew, in a prize light, he wrote
to a friend as follows:
"DEAut JOHN: I've done the Jew.

Turner, • the celebrated English -painter,
once sent a picture to the Exhibition so cun
ningly executed as to occasion some doubt
which side should be hung uppermost. The
manager `.hung the painting, upside down,
but having a doubt about it, wrote to Turner
stating what he had done, and requesting an
immediate reply. In due time it came to
hand and consisted merely of two words,
"Turn her."
Another artistic epistle is good in its way.
At a meeting held a few years since in aid
of the proposed Art Gallery at Manchester,
England, Mr. Fairbairn read the following
from a friend whose name lie did not dis

"My DEAR Tom : I have read your letter,

The Boys in Blue:
E. B. Treat A: Co., of New York, are about
to publish a valuable record of the war, in a
book by Mrs. A. H. Hoge, whose name is
familiar to all who know of woman's wokkg,
in the western armies: 'Mrs:• Hoge'.S„boo,Fkki
' called "The Boys in Blue; or, Heroes of the
Rank and File; comprising incidents and re
miniscences from camp, battle-tield and hos—
pital, with narratives of the sacrifice, sutler:
ing and triumphs of the Soldiers rl the Re
public, by Mrs. A. It. • Hoge, of the North
western Sanitary Commission. Chicago, with
an introduction by Thomas M. Eddy, D. D.,
with illustrationsfrom original drawings of
the most striking scenes of the war of the re
•
Mrs. Hoge says in her preface:. " I have
been repeatedly solicited to publish the expe
riences of my three years' army life while
laboring in connection with the United States
Sanitary Commission, and have only con
sented to do so.from renewed importunities in
quarters eminently entitled to consideration.
It has been urged that sketches of the interior
and every-day life of, the great
. Union army,
in hospital and in the field, can alone convey
a just idea of its animus jand looroie; that
this work should be done at once, before facts
become dim outlines in the vista of memory,
or engulfed in the ocean of the past andac
cordingly she- has set down - here the facts in
question in a plain, simple, but very efa,ctive
and interesting style. She tells, ins , tti nee,
how the women of Illinois sent their boys to
the war and worked for them
mitt" 11.1.1: , ;(11:-. V,t)IIEN tvolkEl)
I was detained a few hours at a small settle-
ment in Illinois, to make the •diredt connec
tion for Chicago. Desir6us. to improve the
lime, I asked the landlady of the hotel; where
1 stopped it' there was an aid society - in the
place. - "Yes, indeed;" she said, and she had
been its pre"sidentAill her eyesight failed, alt it
she was now almost blind. and her husband
said 'twits because she had sewed at night for
the soldiers. From the porch where she sat.
she pointed to a house and said, "You'll find
a lady there. in that milliner's shop, that can
tell you all about it."
I found her and her room filled with buxom
lassies, trying on the latest style of head-gear.
I told my errand, but said, "I see you are
busy; I have but a few hours to remain, and
can send you some circulars, and write to you
front Chicago." "I always have time to hear
about the army,". she replied, "and cannot let
you go without having you meet our ladies.
We have longed to see you." "But the time
is short," I answered. "Can you be here at
11 o'clock?" she asked. I replied I could.
"Therrwe will be ready for you. Ladies,"
she said, "I know you will not be willing to
lose the opportunity of hearina• ° about our
brave volunteers from one who has been to
Vicksburg. If you will lie messengers to no
tify the meeting, I will stop work, clean up
the shop, and be ready for you in an hour."
I resolved to know this woman's history.
Fifteen minutes before the meeting opened
site gave me the following statement. She
was refined anq, educated, and 1 use her
words as nearly as possible.
"When the first call came, my husband,
'yself, and two little ones, one a babe, were
living in this house, in easy circuinstancesdie
having a profitable business. I saw he was
uneasy, but liAtipt silent, as I did. When
the next cal came, he said, 'I must attend the
mectingViaise recruits.' I knew what that
mean,ttsCut was prepared, for I had pondered
it irony heart. 1 said, 'James, if you feel it
to be your duty to go, don't let me and the
children hinder you.' - He started. 'Wife,'
said he, 'you can't conduct the business and
support the family. You have been delicately
reared, never have done even your own
work.' I know all that,' I said, 'but I have
thought it all over, and know what I can
do. From child I have made my own
bonnets, and have been told they were taste
ful. A milliner's shop is needed here. I can
get a good worltwoman from ChiCago, open
a shop and support myself and the children.
If all wait till it is convenient to go what will
become of the country?' Said this earnest
woman, "I was interrupted by the sobs of
my husband. He said my courage broke
-him down more than tears or entreaties to
stay. He went to the meeting, gave in his
name as a recruit, came benne, and on our
bended knees together that night, we asked
God to accept the sacrifice and preserve us
all to meet again at the close of the war. He
s'ettled up his business. I opened my store,
and it has preSpered greatly. He has been
preserved thus far, and has been promoted.
He is a man of intelligence, firmness and
piety."
When I could speak I said: "How can yOW
manage to attend the Aid Society ?" "My'
dear madam," she exclaimed, "how could '
live without it? When I plan and work for"
it I am beside my beloved husband, working;
for my country. IC meets here every other'
week." "Hew do you manage ?" I said. "I
close the work-room," she continued, "at
noon that day. The girls are willing to stay
and help me. We clean the room and carry
all the boxes to the adjoining one. We sew:
till dark, and then restore the shop, to working
order, ank by sitting up till midnight, I make
up fur lost time." " Is there no one more '
favorably situated that will bear this 'burden?"
"It seems not," she meekly' answered: "Our •
numbers are few, as the, majority of the peo
ple live - in the country. There is a friend of
mitre who has opened a dressmaking establish
:molt° let her husband enlist, and we alter-:
nate."
Here is another story:
A lady being asked her story, said: "When.
the rebels fired on Sumter, my heart was on
fire. I longed to be wino.n to avenge the in
sult. My boys sprang to arms, enlisted, and
were off in a twinkling, and I blessed them•
for it. After a year's absence one came home
on furlough. As we sat lingering around our
last supper together, I looked at my husband ,
and said, `lf the young boys• can stand it,
and the country needs more mon, why can't
you go?' He looked at me earnestly, and:
said, 'l've longed to go, but dare not leave
you alone, With none but our little one to •
help you.' 'Don't fear that," I said: 'we
shall manage to get along. The larm will .
groW shabby, of course.' " As she said this.
she looked at the rusty fence and rickety
gate, and added, "It had better he so than •
:lose the country." She. continued: "Early
next morning my son and husband left for
the battery." She said she had been as well
as before they left; heard from them quite
often; that they were in good health and con
tented, and she did not believe that harm.
would reach them, for they were under the
shelter of her Ileavenly Father's wing.
Thank God. if they never met on earth, they
would alltneet in heaven, for that was the
home to which they looked tbrward.
On another occasion visited Ellaville,
at the urgent request of• Mrs. F---, the'
postmistress of the district, and president of
the aid society. The settlement With some
miles front the railroad station, and I found
a limner's wagon with its worthy owner
awaiting me. We drove to the house of"
Mrs. b'----. who apologized for her limited
accommodations and hunible dwelling, which.
I Miund sheltered head and a heart that
would have done lionor to a palace. The
• settlement was sparse, the people poor; "All
having enough to do to get along these war
times,' she she said "-when so many of their
men had, enlisted. - The cause of , our
suffering soldiers' had lain upon her heart
font the beginning of the war. She en
deavored to form an aid society; but no one •
had time - or money to give, though probably
she bad as little of either as any one. Nothing
daunted, she determined to work alone. After
days of domestic toil and official duties, she
w o brked far into the night; and in two weeks
-Succeeded in piecing and -quilting a warm
coveting for a sick soldier's bed, She tattled
in the neighbors to rejoice with her, and on
the spot they formed an aid society, and ais
pointed committees to gather eggs, butter,
_vegetables, and what money they could col
lect to purchase material for work. She Mlt.
they were not doing enough, and wrote to
me to come to her assistance, and tell the
people about the soldiers that I , had seen,
rouse them up to more earnest effort.

Recall of the 11Iniftter of the Cnitect
Steam of Colombia..
General Eustorgia Salgar, who has tic
ceptubly represented the 'United States of
Colombia, as their Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to. this coun
try, yesterday delivered his letter of rePall to
the President, to whom he addressed his
remarks, of which the following is "a trans
lation:
Pri. - 8/(l.6it: I have the honor to place
in your Excellency's hands the autograph let
ter from the President of Colombia, in which
he communicates to you the termination ot'
the mission, which, in character of Envoy
E\traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary,
I nave tilled during three years, near the ,
government over which your Excellency pre
sides. Various affairs, some simple,
more or less complex, but all of high imps.ort
arce to the facile and beneficial development
of the relations between the two countries,
slouching, the entire Satisfaction of their re
ciprocal eights, have been a matter ol
discussioif between the governments,
and all have . had equitable aml
,just settlement, the result, no doubt,.
of the good • faith anti conciliatory and- fra
ternal spirit which have distinguished your
Excellency's government irt its relations with
that of the Republic of Colombia. Under the
influence of those salutary principles, I hops.
that the industrial and political interests of
no-country will ever find a protective elo
ment in its relations with the United States_.
Intaking leave of your Excellency, soon to
depart from this beautiful country, I feel
positive regret; but I carry with me the
pleasant memory of its enlightened staiety,
which distinctly demonstrates the goodness
and the strength of the institutions which
rule it.
The President replied as follows :
General: Your farewell speech affects me
with mingled pleasure and regret. I have re;
viewed, for this occasion, the official proceed
ings which have had place- etween the United
States of America and the United States of •
Colombia during the last •six years. It is
true, as you have remarked, that various
allitirs, some simple, others more or less
complex, but all of the highest importance
to the two Republics, touching the entire sat
ishiction of their reciprocal rights, have been
under discussion. That this discussion has
been conducted at this capital. and yourself
and your well-remembered predecessor, on the
part •of your government, and that all of the
matters treated of have found an equitable •
and a just settlement. When I consider the
disturbed condition of the two governments
during that period, making the world for a
considerable time distrustful of the stability
of republican institutions on this continent,
and largely intolerant of them,• I derive from
the results I have mentioned, and from con
current events, a confident hope that repub
lican governments throughout the American
continent may be hereafter maintained in re
lations not merely of Mutual. harMony, •bat
even of mutual alliance; and that, in the fri
ture, no republican nation need/ fear any"
willing foreign enemy.
General Salgar, in rendering justice to the •
' United States in the conduct of their relations.
with Colombia, you have left it to me to do
justice to the able, frank, • manly, and
honorable manner In which you have, diS
charged the functions of ydur important rust.
It is an occasion of regret to part with ones'
who has so long and acceptably held a high
position in our diplomatic• circle s ,„ and espe
cially when Lean expect nothing more from.
any Minister who may succeed you. L sin
cerely trust that the- useful and effective
services which you have performed here will
be appreciated by the patriotic citizens or
Colombia.
Gov. Bitownibw contradicts the report sent,
over the country by. the Associated Press, that he
109 n favor of extending the.franchise to disfran
chised whites in Tennessee. He believes iu no.
such doctrine.•

PREPARED BY
GRIMAULT & CO.
- ob.emiete to H. I. H. Prince Napo
leon, Parse.
These different 'medicines represent the most recent
medical discoveries, founded on the principles of Chetah,-
try and therapeutics. They musknot be confounded with
secret or quack medicines, as their names sufficiently in
dicate their composition; a circumstance which has
caused them to be approchnixi and prescribed by the fa
culty in the whole world They widely differ from those
numerous medicines advertised in the public papers tia
able to cure every possible disease, as they are applica
ble only.to but a very few complaints. The most stringent
laws exist in France, with regard to th. sale of medical
preparations, and only those which have undergone an
examination by the Academy qf Medicine and have been
proved efficacious, either in the Hospitals, or in the
practice of the first medical men, are authorised by the
Government. This fact most be a guarantee for the ex
cellency' of Mess. ORIMAULTS ET CO. medicines.
