THE DARKENED MIND. HY J. RUSSELL LOWELL The fire is burning clear and blithely„ Pleasantly whistles the winter We are about thee, thy friends and kindred, On ns all flickers the firelight kind;`. There ttioil attest in thy wonted corner, Lone and awful in thy darkened mind. There thou fittest; now and then thou meanest, Thou dost talk with what we cannot see, Lookest at us with an eye so doubtful, It doth pnt us very far from thee: There thou sitteet; we would fain be nigh thee, But we know that it can never be. We can tench Thee, still we are no nearer; Gather round thee, flail thou art alone; The wide chasm of reason is between us; non conintest kindness with a moan; We can speak to thee, and thou caust answer, Like two prisoners through a wall of stone. Hardest heart would call it very awful When thou look'st at us and seest —0 what ? If we move away, thou shiest gazing With those vague eyes at the selfsame spot, And thou mutterest, thy bands thou wringest, Seeing something—us thou stest not. Strange it is that, In this open brightness, Thou shouldst sit in such a narrow cell; Strange it is that thou shouldst be so lonesome Where those are who love thee all so well; Not so much of thee is left among us As the hum outliving the hushed bell. A CLERICAL ARTIST. Noted for his success in painting Scottish landscape was the Rev. Mr. Thomson, of Dailly, in Ayrshire, of which parish his fa ther was minister in the latter part of the last century. He was unique in this: that he was clergyman as well as painter; that it was his work to study the page of nature and the page of revelation. One would like to know, if one could, whether Mr. Thomson brought the landscape painter with him into the pul_ pit. Be was in every way an accomplished . man. He had a competent knowledge ot literature and science; and when working on his landscapes, he was in the habit of reciting from the_olassical and English poets passages that bore on the scene he was depicting. He was an exquisite musician; was well read in the natural sciences, and contributed several papers on those subjects to the Edinburgh Review. Throwing down his brushes of a forehocn, placing against the wall a picture of the Bass Mountain, with a 'thunder cloud blackening over it; going out to see an ailing parishioner, and noting on his way how a sunbeam made gleam the ivies on Craigmil lar, which a shower had just wet, and return ing to receive to dinner Sir Walter Scott, fresh from the Bride of Lammermoor, and Sir David Wilkie, fresh from Spain and the study of Velasquez—this complex activity, this variety of duty, this fulness of noble life is something seldom met with. Thomson was licensed to preach at the age of twenty- one, and on the death of his father, the first year of this century, he succeeded to the Dailly manse and the Dailly pulpit. A year after he married, and, in a house rap idly filling with babies, he composed his ser mons, painted his pictures and played on his violin. In 1805 he was translated to the par ish ef . Duddingatone, near Edinburgh. Ad joining the church is the manse on which the minister-painter lived, looking out with all its windows on the lake; on ivied Cragmillar, in which Queen Mary dwelt; on the low hills or Braid, over which Miamian rode, on which Fitz Enstace "Raised his bridle band And threw a demivolte in air," and in sight of the old Edinburgh of the Jameses, smoke-swathed. It was at Dadding stone that Thomson first devoted himself to landcape painting as a profession, and where he accepted payment for his labors in this line. In the pretty Manse of this place he lived for thirty-five years,peacefullv and prosperously, honored by high and low. The price of many a landscape came to the poor people, when sickness or distress was prevalent, in the shape of bottles of wine, or even of com forts more substantial. Thomson being a clergyman,would never become a member of an incorporated body of artists, but he always sent his pictures to the Exhibitions of the Royal Scottish Academy. From 1808 to iMO be contributed to those exhibitions one , hundred and nine works. When Thomson came up to Edinburgh as a etudentat the Univerelty,preparatory to this entering on the study of divinity, he made the acquaintance of Scott and Jeffrey, and during life that acquaintance remained unim paired. Sir Thomas Dick, Lander and John Clark (Lord Eldln), who, with a Homeric conviviality, broad, humorous speech and eccentric manners,combioed a love of art, and had made an admirable collection of painting drawings, prints and etchings, were frequent visitors at the manse. John Wilson, as great a landscape painter in words as Thomson in colors, occasionally dropped in on the minis ter, to discuss the Greek and Latin poets with him, and to see what landscape was smiling or glooming on the canvas. [Prom the Saturday Review.) WOMEN'S ORACLES In days when men were much less cosmo politan, and women much more shy and re tiring, than they now are; when there were not nearly so many divisions and subdivisions in Church and State as at present, but the lieges and the faithful were all contained in two or three great parties separated from one another outwardly by plain characteristics and a tradition of hostile action, and inwardly by antagonistic principles and cherished bawd; before the whole body of the Tories had been "educated," and any stray Whigs bad been enticed into "caves"; before divines had invented the method of non-naturally explaining their formularies, or statesmen had discovered the art of autobiographically in terpreting their own inconvenient utterances; before, in short, there were any third horns, middle-ways, eclecticisms, indifferentisms, or other confusing complications in politics and polemics, it must have been much easier to form a rapid estimate of a person's character and opinions than it is at present. In those days the old Latin maxim "You may know him by his friends" must have been much more valuable than it is now. It was once considered by the profane world as good a master- bey to the secrets of character as the dogma "You may know him by his knits" is still considered by a portion of the -religions-world. But with ourvesent - fash ion of kaleidoscopic public careers, and our general condition of permutations and combi nations, no one would dream of judging a males character and opinions, or prophesy ing his course of action, from the characters, opinions, and actions of hie friends. Yet we are not even now without means of judging roughly, by certain external indications, of a person's character. One of the best rough and ready tests of anybody's .opinions is, for example, the newspaper which he affects.: Stay-at-,home foreigners, as ' We have so often lately-been told , form their opinion of lag nehmen largely'from reading the Miles; and though, of course, it is not, difficult to see that an estimate' of the character 'and capa city of a whole nation`which has been derived from the study, of only one of its principal journals must necessarily be very imperfect and misleading, yet it may be questioned whether this method is not at least as good as that oflhe stay-at-home Englishman who, derives his impressions at secondhand from some obsequious or prejudiced Foreign C respondent. And, after all, is it safe to sup pose that any journal of large circulation can really be a very inadequate represen ative of its readers? that the sentiments it expresses can really be alien to their character, or its in formatipn and arguments below the level of their :intelligence? How many graduates of Oxford and Cambridge who regularly read the TimeB suspect the logic of a pompous leader? How many of the gentlemen with nicely discriminated and subtle titles, of the Second-Go Bachelors, the Masters of the First or Tbird Branch of the Arts, the Doubly examined Doctors of Literature, whom the London University is supposed to be scatter ing profusely over the land, and wherewith our whole Philistine lump is to be leavened, are dissatisfied with the Timex's treatment of any scientific, historical or literary question? and how many more can give the reasons of their dissatisfaction? There might be worse tests of the opinions and intelligence of a large community than that implied in the maxim "You may know them by their news papers." And if the test is of any value when apped to journals written for no particular class, but professing to represent a whole people, it is still more valuable in its applica tion to those journals which profess to repre sent only one fraction of a community. From the columns of the Record or the Rock we may gather no inadequate notion of the faiths or the fears that support or agitate the souls of religious spinsters, half-pay col onels, and their pet parsons in the coteries of Blackheath, Clifton, or Tunbridge Wells. From the leaders of the Standard we can form some conception of what the bucolical gentry and clergy consider to be convincing argument Dr crushing invective; just as from the style of the Daily Telegraph we may derive some notion of what the artisan and the shopkeeper believe to be fine rhetoric. There is no doubt that a very fair notion can be formed of the tastes, feelings and culture of any Englishman by noticing what journal he affects. There are few peculiarities of the Englishman to which the maxim "Show me what he admires, and I will show you what he is" more aptly applies than to his news- paper. If this same doctrine is true—and it is diffi cult to see why it should not be true—of those journals which are written especially for Englishwomen, the result is certainly surprising enough. To any person studying the leading ladies' journals of the period it seems almost inconceivable that they should really represent any considerable number of Englishwomen in the middle and upper classes. Yet, if this is not the case, why and for whom do they exist? And, if it is the case, where could we find a richer store of materials for estimating the character of modern Englishwomen than in these sympa thetic and oracular periodicals ? The ma terials afforded by the Daily Telegraph or the Record for judging of the character of Englishmen sink into utter insignificance when compared with those which any lead-' j ing "Ladies' newspaper" affords for udginz of the character of its subscribers. WAether it is that, there being fewer ladies' than men's newspapers in existence, the ladies' news papers are obliged to sup Ply a greater quan tity of information, and to study more differ ences of taste and varieties of requirement,or whether it is that women are more confiding and sympathetic towards their journals than men are, and require from them more sym pathy and help in return, the fact is certain that there is no subject so important or so trivial that the fair subscriber shrinks from asking the counsel of the oracle upon it, or that the oracle fails to deliver a sympathetic and satisfying response. Tne mode in which these women's oracles are consulted, and give their replies, is peculiar. The Ladies' news paper devotes a portion of each of its num bers to what is sometimes called "Our Draw ing-room," end sometimes assumes the loftier title of "The Englishwoman's Conversazi °he"; which is, in fact, a kind of epistolary conversation or discussion carried on in the journal among its contributors. N rtes and queries, questions and answers, sometimes of the briefest and sometimes of the most elabo rate description, on topics grave and gay, trivial and important, are crowded togeteer in the most confused but natural manner in these "Englishwomen's Con very sztones.' Here, alongside of the anxious in quiry of a mother how she may best control a rebellious child, we find a daughter putting the momentous question whether at thirteen she is too young to begin wearing the chignon? On the same page we see ladies asking what is the editor's opinion of their handwriting; what is the best method of re moving superfluous hair: where they can buy birches with good Lids; what is the price of the Antephelic milk, and whether it will really clear a spotty complexion; how to treat broken or unbroken chilblains; how many days after a visit should a call be returned; where to find a sympathizing or even an obedient staymaker. mistress of her art; who was the prisoner of Gisors, and why he was imprisoned; what is the best way to clean grebe; whether it is best to wash one's dirty linen at home, and, if so, what amount of soap, soda, and starch should be used fortnightly, for a family of two grown-up persons and three domestics; whether short walking costumes may be used for Church dress; how to make Brunswick loaves; bow to prepare for an overland journey to India; and how to cure warts. To all these and many similar ques tions the oracle is expected to provide a re ply; and how thoroughly well it does its busi ness may be gathered from such a case as the billowing : An unfortunate creature who is afflicted with unbecoming leanness, and who writes under the touching title of "skeleton," asks the advice and help of the oracle in this heart-rending condition. Her general health is excellent. Bhe sleeps and cats well. But she is quite unable to en joy society, because she is so un tashionably thin. Wherever she goes she finds that fatter friends are preferred before her. Aod, iu short, unless she can become stouter, life will not be worth having. What shall she do to get fat? The oracle replies:— "In answer to 'Skeleton's' inquiry now to become fat, I wish to inform her that milk taken before rising in the morning is the beat thing. Half a pint, either warm or cold; if the former, a lump or two of sugar makes it better. If she lives in London, there is a kind of rich milk called 'babies' milk,' sold on pur pose for ladies and children to drink. She should eat plenty of butter and fat, and un derdone meat — Cream is very good; also, corn flour, semolina, arrowroot, &c. Good stout is very fattening; she should have two or three tumblers a day—one alw aye the last thing at night. If not stout, a wine glass or two of rum and water with sugar." Every reader's respect for these women's oracles must be raised after reading this reply. Whether their wisdom is or is not equal to T.HEDAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1869. that of the ancient oracles of Delphi and 4 ,Podorta,•Welt, straightforwardness and hon estytnust,'at any rate, be greater. An oracle which can unflinchingly give such a response , as that,•which can, without any sign of efto- • lion, and without leaving any loophble of , ambiguity, tell its miserable client to drink a tumblerful of stout the last thing at night, , and one of babies' milk the 'first 'thing in the morning, must at least be far above the vul gar suspicion of corruption or of humbug. Whether the unhappy "Skeleton" has had the courage requisite for carrying out the or ders of the oracle, we•: have no means of knowing. This reply was given last De cember; anti if meantime "Skeleton" has been conscientiously and continuously cram ming herself with babies' milk, underdone meat, corn flour, stout and rum, every one must admit that' by this tithe Sbe deserves to be as sleek as Belteshazzar. The conversazione portion of these La dies' journals always resounds with the cries of contributors who appear to be suffering from a plethora of books concurrently with:a famine of clothes. Scores of women write anxiously desiring to part with the great standard handbooks of Mangnall, Gleig, and Lindley Murray, in exchange for brooches or earrings, or offering "Select Passages from the Poems of Sir Walter Scott, handsomely bound," in return for fashionable articles of dress; and indeed the number of such offers would be very puzzling, did we not remember that there is always a stream of young ladies who have just "finished their education" and are about to be "introduced." These happy creatures will, of coarse, have no farther use for books except such as the circulating library sup plies, and the temptation to part with their manuals and their prizes in exchange for earrings and real seal skins is naturally irre eistible. Who the people are that take the books and give the jewelery itis not so easy to understand. There does not appear to be any demand for such books, or indeed for any books whatever, among the contribu tors to the ladies' journals, while there are always scores of contributors who want to get rid of books. It would be in teresting to discover the ulti mate destination of these school prizes and manuals; to trace the steps and I the length of time that a French Died )nary or an Atlas takes in passing from the "tlnish ing school" to the pork-shop; and to ascertain with precision who are the middle-men that go besrinc jewels of gold and raiment to the '•finished" young lady,and carrying back her books to the butterman. Perhaps, however, the most extraordinary feature in these conversaziottes is the disqui sitions on ethical and social subjects w are carried on among their contributors. is not long since the Saturday Review called attention to a wonderful discussion on the subject of "Flogging Girls" which appeared in a well-known Ladies' i magazine, and which has been succeeded in the same journal by an equally amazing discussion oh the su'lj:.ct of Ladies' riding. The riding discussion pro ceeds in very much the same fashion as the flogging discussion did. There is the same freedom of treatment, the same liberal use of strong expressions, the same tendency t) ad vocate extremes; and it would seem, too, that the theory of horsemanship which finds most favor with the contributors to this journal is not very widely different from their favorite theory of domestic discipline. To give zest to the discussion, a knowing male assessor is called in, who plays a part similar to that assigned to "Paterfamilias," or the "Old King's Scholar, and "Ex-Officlo Birchmaker," in the girl-flogging converBa zione, and who contributes some of the more bloodthirsty opinions to the disquisition. This amiable gentleman, who signs himself "Eperon," and who says that he hay had much experience as rough-rider to a cavalry regiment, and as "ladies' instructor in riding," after describing the savage course of treat ment through which he puts hie colts in order to make them "perfect ladies' horses," with "a fine shape and carriage of the neck," and after dilating on the advantages of tight-lacing to a lady- rider, lays down the following choice rules for what he calla "female horseman ship : "I alw aye use the most severe bits for la dies, and very lightly curbed, as otherwise a lady's strength would be quite unequal to stop a frightened or skittish horse. Many of tiny best pupils now delight in riding vicious or badly trained horses, and always get more out of them than men do. After a lady feels confidence in her horse I never have occasion to tell her to use her spur. She is only too glad to do so, and ae she becomes a perfect horsewoman, she detests a perfect horse. Give a good horsewoman a badly broken horse if you would please her. Every mis take is punished with the utmost severity, and the spur, being so easily used and so effective, Is always first called upon. To make a horse show to advantage the bit must ba long in the bar s, and the curb chain fastened as tightly as possible. The lady must then ride entirely upon the bit reins,w hich must be held tightly, care being taken to keep the spur to him to prevent his rearing, &c., &c." If this correspondence is genuine. it ap pears that, as there is a party among the fair subscribers to this journal which is in favor ut flogging grown-up girls, so there is also a party which is in favor of savage and brutal treatment of the horse. 11-ivy numerous this party may be it is impossible to say. I 3 )w many English lady riders have the hard hearts, or covet the vulgar horsebreaking accom plishmen' s, of "Eperon's" "best pupils," only the editor can tell who presides over the con versazione in which such sentiments are allowed to pass unchallenged. Admirers of women may hope that there are few ladies in England who would, and lovers of the horse may trust that there are few who can, con duct themselves in the manner described and advocated by "Eperon." And indeed, after perusing such effusions as these,the charitable reader will perhaps find it best to conclude that Ladies' journals form an exception to the maxixn,"You may know them by their news ' papers," and that they exist rather to warn or to disgust, than to represent the real feelings, tastes and interests of Englishwomen.

The Squab Prac.llls, Wiparactrgat _ Ilaval of advises ` from' admiral Turner, commanding the South Pacific Squadron, dated Valparaiso, April 2, report the visit of the Tusca rora to Buenaventura, to investigate the Insult to our consular flag, and imprisonment of our Con sul, Mr. James M. Eder. The Tuscarora arrived off Buenaventura. Colombia, In the early part of Marah,and took immediate measures to ascertain the truth and Condition of the case. Mr. Etter bad been released f.lO/11 imprisonment, and was again in occupation of his office, anticipating no further molestation. The difficulty in which be was Involved was this: Having In December last some private business to attend to in Palmyra, about seventy-eix miles from Buenaventura, as he was proceeding there an attempt was made to amass striate him in the streets by a party who had pre viously stolen some articles from the Consul, and during the _fracas Mr. kaler struck, the man a blow, causing him to fall and strike his head against the stones. from the effects of which he soon died. Mr. Eder was arrested while sur rounded by a violent populace, and imprisoned, and atiortly afterwards released, the case being dismissed. On New Year's day,while receiving his friends, the consular flag was torndown,dragged through the streets, stamped upon, and ultimately torn to. pieces. The mob sustained the outrage, and de fied the authorities. The Superior Court reversed the opinion of the Circuit Judge in Palmyra, and Mr. Eder had to undergo a jury triaL On ao count of 111 health he was not imprisoned, and he was again dismissed. Previous to the arrival of the Tuscarora he had communicated all the facts to Mr. Sullivan, • United States Minister to Bogota, and the whole matter was in course of adjustment. Assurances had been given by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs that ample satisfaction should be ade for the insult to the flag. Under these cit.- eumatances the commander of the Tuscarora de cided to make no demands for redress, leaving the ease in the bands'of the United States Minister, to be settlad in the customary manner. The promi nent men and others at Palmyra and surrounding country greatly deplored the outrage on our flag, and expressed much sympathy for the consul. The Tuscarora left Butinaventara March 4th, and reached Callao on the llth.'

April 2LI " - Only the Other i day the Governor of Cuba authorized the, illegal seizure of an American ship In English waters, ?thus, curiously con triving to offend the colony's 'most formid alge pOVble , enemy;' and the only Power . strong enough in that part of the world to be her ally and friend. We do not say that in anytase it should be our,. business to linter fere for the preventitm aaf Cuban' Independ ence; but our good offices might at any tbne , be Useful in averting a quarrel between Spain ' and the United States. Yet, with a mad discourtesy, the government: of Cubs man ages at °rep to give the United States autho rities a very serious provocation, and actually to insult us, with the further effect of almost implicating us in ta show of connivance at the attack on the American vessel, unless we resent the insult ? On another recent 'occasion an American ship was seized ;on the coast; and the passengers—men of all nationalities— were treated as if they were Cuban rebels; a gross outrage, a violation of the commonest international• courtesy and the first principles of public laair. Beyond this; in its futile at tempt at blockade, the Cuban government has issued a list of trivial articles; declared "contraband of war," with food among the number. We speak on early, itifdrtnation which fuller reports may in -seine degree modify; though we have no reason to doubt the substantial correctness of what we have heard. In comparlson withlarger events the outrages to which we refer may appear small, but they look as if the local mithorities had lost their heads. Before,this time Spanish of ficials have broneht their country into trouble by a blind and brutal indifference to other people's rights. What will be the end no one can easily say. It would be rash to predict anything like war because a strong squadron is despatched from New York. It must be.remembered that Cuba is not the bonne, botaehe for free America that it was for AmeriCa ruled by the owners of slaves. When slave States were admissible Into the 'Union the accession of the magnificent Island meant the admission of three or four new States casting in their lot with the South. Now, Cuba would be only an additional territorial embarrassment. Emancipation would have to follow annexa tion; and nobody is quite certain that free Cuba might not have to pass through a period of depression as serious as that which has aillicted emancipated Ja maica. No doubt the Americans might be willing to brave all these risks it' they saw the splendid pear ripe enough to drop into their mouths; but it is not ripe, and in the present temper of their p iliticians they are not. inclined to snatch at it. Nor do we know enough of the independent party in Cuba to make sure that they covet a closer alliance with the government at Washington. They are willing, no doubt, to accept aid and arms from American sympathizers; they are will ing to see the Spanish Administration em broiled with the new President; but men of their temperament and descent rarely attach themselves to Anglo-Saxon role. We saw that in Mexico. The patriotic section there was republican enough to please its A.meri can friends; but it detested- annexation no less cordially than the Canadians them selves, and cherished a fear of Yankee inva sion as lively as the hatred of the old-Spanish rule. We suspect that the Americans will find the same. difficulties in Cuba. Tae islanders will readily accept their aid against Spain to secure, not annexation, but inde pendence; though they could scarcely spoil their own game more effectually than they do now, by supplying the great republic;in theft own hour of crisis, with so broad and acces sible a locus standi. Aleanwlaile, England can only "stand by and mark"—with some natural regret if the public servants of Spain, by persistency in puerile folly, manage to ir ritate her natural enemies, to alienate her best friends, and to lose the last great jewel of her once magnificent colonial empire. Tbo Duke of Argyle on President Or amt. The Duke of Argyle, in a speech at a recent banquet in London, took occasion to refer in a very complimentary manner to our election of the first American soldier as Pre sident of the 'United States. He alluded to the admiration which is everywhere paid to the successful warrior, and which does not diminish as the world goes on, but is as great in the present day among the most civilized nations of the world as it has ever been even among the rudest barbarians. Upon this point ho said : "Honor is paid to the successful chief. I know there are some living philosophers who tell us this feeling is a great mistake, but I am one of those persons who believe that the in stinct of mankind is true when their reason may be deceived. I believe that there is an instinct in the homage paid to great warriors. l'bis was demonstrated the other day in a striking manner by a nation which is in some respects the most civilized in the world—l mean the United States of America—and the occasion to which I refer is the selection by the people of that country of a successful sol dier as their Chief Magistrate. The truth is, the military character includes within itself some of the highest attributes of the human mind. That being the case, the instincts of mankind in their appreciation of acts of hero ism are, I think, quite justifiable."
