THE ERRING ANGEL.
'Tvras long boforo this worlJ of ours
By human foolstcps hail been trod,
Tlmt Zara came to Eden's bowers.
Fresh from the presence of her God.
And while her radiant wings were ycl
Unfurled anil trembling in the air,
She neemed so changed as lo forget
Her Heaven mid" all the bright things
Ihete ;
Not (hat her heart had ceased lo feel
That glow of inptme which is known
By lion but those bright ones who kneel
Around God's evei-diiriug throne.
Rut jjazing on that lovely spot,
No wonder that her soul forgot
The fair and ltappy realm which lios
Fur, far beyond the starry skies.
And there in that enchanting place,
isho loitered I0115 and wondered why
It was not peopled with a race
Of beings from her native sky.
And oft she wished and sighed to dwell
Herself within a world no fair,
With some one who could love her well,
And deem it Heaven to linger there
With some one tin whose willing arm
She might recline w ithout a tear,
Anil know his heart was beating warm
With the diviuest love for her.
' How sweet," said she, "how sweet
'twould be
To linger here amid these bowers,
Where every bush ami every tree
Is fragrant with iis sunny llowers
How sweet wild hirn whom I could love,
To knoel upon this grassy sod,
And having tinned our eyes above.
Pour nut his mi in prayer to God ;
Indeed it would be more like bliss
To live llms in a world like this.
And 111 her eye the trembling light,
Of her pure spirit softly shone,
And her sweet face, before bright,
A more angelic smile put on,
But. gazing up into the air,
fhc saw a lone slar twinkling there,
And knowing that the bright orb shone
On none but those who'd strayed so far
From God, and his eternal throne,
She blessed the glory-beaming star ;
And kneeling on the green earlli there,
Lifted her trembling hands lo Heaven,
And offered up a fervent prayer,
That her crushed heart might be for
given. And. .ere the angel ceased lo speak,
The tear which had suffused her cheek
Fell to the earlli and utilled the pain
Which had seized on her throbbing brain,
Poor Z.ara ! She was far away.
From all that brL'ltt and joyous throng,
Whose lips are breathing day by day
An endless round of prayer, and song
Yes, she who had been first each morn
To wake the harp around the tin one,
Was now on earth, and tnol forlorn
Of all God"s angels and alone.
Rut he who saw his erring child
The moment she had learned to err
Behold her now repent and smiled
That smile a patdon was to tier,
And looking upward through her tears,
Which now were flowing faster still,
She said : God, thou hast stilled my lears,
I'll go to thee, I w ill, I will.''
And bidding earth a long farewell,
She breathed and did not breathe in vain,
The dulcet words whoso mystic spell
Should plume her wings for Heaven
asain ;
And whereupon that fatal ground
The tears of her repentance fell,
A light of glory beams around
And renders Eden hollowed ground.

THE SPAHIS' MARCH.
from "itowrrr's jocknal."
"Bravissimo, maestro niio ! A little
while, and Halevy, Berlioz, and all must
go down before you as yoti do before me at
Ibis moment." With that the loot was
suddenly withdrawn from the chair-leg,
and the successttil musician, cornet-a-pis-
ton 111 hand, prostrated on the lloor.
"Sucre, Augtiste, you should'nt," said
the poor fellow, scrambling awkwardly on
his bands and knees
"Never mind, mon brave earcon ; for
one knock down I'll give you such a help
up that all Pans shall nn with your fame
1 he spams March,' shall be our entrance
into every town of conquered Algeria; it
hall be our triumphal return to Pans ; it
shall make the house rise with the curtain
at the Academie and (the door opened
to admit a voting girl carrying a yellow
rose-plant ol a peculiar shade) it shall be
softened into a serenade the day I claim a
certain promise, Kulalie." The unoccu
pied hand was at the speaker's lips, and a
bright blush was the only answer. The
foregoing scene took place in a small room,
not quite a garret, in the Quartier Latin;
the actors were two young ex-students ol
the Ccole Polytechnique, alike in age, but
diflering in every other particular; one
rich, well-born, handsome, with all the
good spirits good fortune gives; the other
poor, low-born, plain, and obliged to hus
band what spirits he possessed lor the life
struggle which lay before him. The third
person who entered at the conclusion of
the scene was the sister of the latter, a
pretty young Jleurixte of the Rue Vivienne,
who had tor some time attracted the atten.
tion, and gained the fancy, he called it the
heart, of Auguste Dumont, her brother'
very unequal companion. The two Du
pres were orphans, bound together by
more than the ordinary bond of affection,
their lonely situation. Adolphe had been
educated at the Polytechnique, where bis
talent lor music bad caused an intimacy
with Auguste. who loved it passionately ;
and the united attractions of Adolphe'scor-
net-a-piston ana Luiaues bright eyes
brought him to the small room in the
Quartier Latin oflener than to the gay
salons on the opposite bank of the Seine.
It tht time for Auguste to join tht re-
j giment of Spahis in which he had just got
1 his commission, on its departure lor Africa,
I and he was full of hopes for himself and
promise lor his friends. Poor Adolphe
liad just got the place of trombone player
in Franconi's orchestra, which might lead
to something better, but his brightest hopes
rested on the ultimate success of a inarch
he had composed, and, in honor of his
friend's regiment, named "The Spahis'
March ;" this, he doubted not, would,
through Auguste's patronage, realize all the
visions men indulge in at twenty. And
now Auguste rose to depart; this night's
leave-taking could not be like the usual "a
demain" of the three friends; and young
Dumont, who shared with his countrymen
a taste for theatrical effect as well as much
sentiment, rose, took Eulalie's hand in one
of his, and Adolphe's in the other, then
holding them both together in his left,
raised the right, in the attitude of oath
taking, "Adolphe and Eulalie," said he,
"brother and sister Dupre, on the eve of
commencing a career ol danger and glory,
hear my resolution : though ye share not
my danger, ye shall share my glory ; let
the battle be mine, the victory yours.
You, Adolphe shall claim my promise in
the success of your march, which I will
render celebrated ; and you, Kulalie here
he dropped his voice to a low, tender tone,
as he plucked a bud from the rose already
mentioned, and placed it in her bosom
from you shall 1 claim again this rose-bud,
and with it another promise. And now
farewell both, and when you hear of my
fame, remember you share it."
"And we, on our part," said Adolphe
speaking f.ir his sister, promise that my
march, and her rose-bush, shall alone be
yours ; it is all we have to promise or to
give." Auguste embraced them both, and
hurried away. The next morning the
brother and sister stood outside the barrier
through which passed the regimen of Spa
his, the sun shining on the handsome per
son and brilliant uniform of Auguste Du
mont, as, full of hope, happiness, and vani
ty, he rode past, nodding a recognition to
tlteni if they saw it through their tears.
Adolphe went back to his trombone-
plaving, Eulalie to her flower making, and
both to think of Auguste, the former doubt.
ing less than ever of his brilliant friend's
will and power to perform his promises;
the latter, with a more correct instinct,
feeling a strong misgiving that the dazzling
career now stretching before him would
not allow him to think of his poor early
friends in the ifuartier Lai in.
"He'll soon furget us," sighed she, as
she looked at the faded rose-bud, though
she did not try to infect the hopeful spirit
of Adolphe with her doubts, as he preluded
the notes of the Spahis' March on his in
separable cornet-a-piston, and spoke of
Auguste's and their glorious future, bhe
let him build his castles, and worked at
her flowers. From time to time the usual
reports, correct and incorrect, reached
them from the seat of the war. Auguste
had written to them from Marseilles previ
ous to his embarkation ; his letter was short
and jovous ; he promised to write again
from Oran, but lie did not. 1 he cam
paign had begun in good earnest, so most
likely he could not. And now the cafes
became filled with eager and interested
groups, talking with true Parisian anima
tion; and the names of Hiigeaud, Cavaig-
nae, C'hangarnier, and others, rang loudly
in the ears of Paris; caused her walls to
strike out in great placards and afpcfirs,
and covered the saloons of the Luxembourg
with Horace Vernet's pictures. The Jour
nals and the t hnmbers talked of nothing
but razzias and Kabyles, whilst the regnn
tcs assumed coiffures a la Jlfricuine ; but
all this was public and official, and said
nothing about Auguste. Private rumor,
more than public report, spoke of him, and
its tales to brother and sister Dupre were
varied, and, to an indifferent hearer, might
have been amusing: to each it had its dif
ferent version of the subject, and something
in common to both. To Adolphe it said
that his quondam friend had many brilliant
and delightful associates in the army, who
must necessarily supersede him ; that bis
prospects were splendid, and his promo
tion would be rapid but he had never
been heard to mention the Spahis' March ;
for all that, Adolphe played it on his cor-net-a-pis!on.
To F.ulalie it said that her
quondam lover had arrived at Oran with a
beautiful little Arlesenienne, who had fol
lowed him disguised as a bov, and was ac
companying him through the campaign,
thouah he made her sadly jealous with a
native sultana. Eulalie sighed, and lojk-
ed at the vellow rose-bush. To both it
said that he was admired, envied, and dis
tinguisbed for his courage, talents, and
good fortune.
"Auguste will not forget us," said Adol
phe; "wait till they take some fortress and
then we shall hear of the Spahu' M.ireh."
Klemvau was taken, and Pans rejoiced
Auguste had especially distinguished him'
self, was made captain on the spot, and
his regiment had entered the town in tn
urn ph.
"Now, Eulalie," exclaimed her happy
brother, "we shall hear of the Snalns'
March."
They heard the particulars of the storm
and the surrender, they heard of the bra'
very oi the troops, the talent and courage
of their leaders ; they heard of Auguste,
his present honors and hi future fame, but
tbey heard nothing ot the spams' March
"Perhaps the next town they take, Eu
lalie, we shall hear ; Auguste has not had
time to think about it," said the simple-
hearted musician, and he played it as a solo
in honor of hit friend. Whilst Auguste
was conquering, Adolphe was struggling,
Hit little room in the Quartier Latin was
i poor at ever. The tahle, the two chairs,
the mattress he slept on, the trombone h
played at Franconi's, were its only furni
lure; his beloved cornet-a-piston, and Eu
!?'.!'! Vtl'.Ow rose, its only ornaments.
This was the prose of life, with its bare ne
cessaries that the poetry, with its music
and perfume; the one gave the knowledge
of his true position, the actual fact of what
he was ; the other was his dream his air
castle, the vision of what he would be. In
the one he was the poor trombone-player
of the Cirque Olympique, in the other the
celebrated composer of 'The Spahis March.'
It was the contrast of present and future,
of poverty and glory. Happy Adolphe !
he lived by faith ; and Eulalie! she look
ed at her rose-bush, shook her head, stifled
a sigh, and made a very good copy of a
yellow rose-bud, with silk, muslin, and
wire, and what was better, sold a wreath
of them very well the following day.
The campaign ended, Auguste's regi
ment remained at Marseilles, causing Adol
phe (o believe and declare that had be re
turned to Paris, he would have entered to
the strains of the Spahis' March. Another
campaign began and ended, and Auguste
returned with the title of colonel, 'and
without en arm. lie entered Paris; it
was almost a triumph. The regiment had
been so distinguished in Algeria that its re
turn was a public event, . and the young
colonel was regarded by his friends as
something hardly less than Bugeaud him
self. Crowds assembled to witness the en
trance ; and the novel appearance of the
native Algerian troops combined with the
knowledge of its services, all made the
scene singularly striking and attractive.
Adolphe and Eulalie stood on the same
spot, outside the barrier, where they had
witnessed its departure ; and Auguste, old.
er, browner, more worn, more military
at once the worse, and the better for wear
rode past them without recognition.
The band of his regiment played some
thing; Adolphe listened with ears and
heart it was not the Spahis' March.
When Auguste was made colonel, Adol
phe had been promoted from the Circus
orchestra to that of the Italian opera,
where his cornet-a-piston had given him
higher rank and better wages than bis
trombone had done ; and he was seated in
his usual place in the orchestra the night
of the grand performance in honor of Au
guste's regiment. The musicians had
turned their instruments, and all were ready
lo begin when the Spahi officers in full
uniform entered their opera boxes. Adol
phe looked up and recognized distinctly
the handsome figure of his ex friend, though
his hair was so short, his mustaches so
large, and his face so thin, to say nothing
of the loss of his arm. In honor, of their
presence, the house stood tip, smiled, and
waved handkerchiefs whilst the orches
tra played the regiment march, a wild and
spirited Moorish air. Adolphe's cornet-a-piston
did its part ; but his eyes filled, and
his heart sank, for other notes rang in his
ears the notes ol his own Spahis' March.
The performance was over, and be return
ed to his little room his fust faith shaken,
but not destroyed.
'It is thus Auguste has fulfilled his pro
mises : and yet, wli'-n lie lias time lo think
of us? You see, Eulalie, he has been so
hurried, how could he ? we must wait."
"We must," said Eulalie, and she said
nothing more.
They diil wait, and wait patiently, till
one sunny morning, when bright Paris was
looking its brightest, a marriage, first civil,
then sacramental, a double tie, knotted
doubly firm by mayor and priest, with all
the accompaniments of trousseau and set
tlements, cashmeres and diamonds, took
place; and the parties were the most ele
gant and best dowred demoiselle a marier
in Paris, the daughter of the Viscount de
Belleville, and the distinguished young
colonel of Spahis Auguste Dumont. A
bouquet of beautilul yellow roses was
thrown into the bride's carriage as she left
the church of the Madeleine, but it was
.it ol that peculiar shade ; a band sc rena
ed the new married pair at their hotel,
but it did not nlay the bpalus' March. At
last Adolphe's eyes were opened, and he
saw the truth. 1 here could be no mis'
take ; Augusle had forgotten both bis
friends and promises. He lived i it his
plendid hotel in the Rue Rivoli, as the
colonel Count Dumont; they in their
small house in the Quartier Latin, as the
brother and sister Dupre. It is useless
complaining ol the injustice of either man
or lorttine. Adolphe had never played
his march lo any one hut Euialie, though
he fancied (it might be a composer's vani
ty) that the Chef d Orchestra at the opera
would approve it. lint it bnd been prom
ised, as it was dedicated to his early friend,
and no one else seemed to have any right
to it. Eulalie felt the same towards her
rose plant ; the flowers she had plucked
from it were always admired, the buds she
had made from it always sold. And she
might have sold the plant, no doubt ; but
it was promised to Auguste. Th-y little
knew how soon they would fulfil their
promises.
J he present, and future ol the count and
countess Dumont had to be identical, but
their past had been very dissimilar; for
whilst Auguste was making razzias anu
killing Kabyles, Ernestine was singing
duetts and listening to Bellini's languishing
strains at the opera with her cousin Henri.
Ernestine was beautilul, Henri devoted,
and life was a dream of delight to both.
..... ..
But unfortunately they remembered their
dream when they ought to have forgotten
it j as Auguste found out to his loss, wnen
nothing remained to him but to challenge
the too fortunate beau cousin to a twelve
paces' distance meeting in the Boit de
Boulogne, where his usual good luck de
serted him, and instead of avenging hit
wounded honor, he was brought home
with Henri's ball in his breast, dying, to
his wife t who had the satisfaction to know
that her husband was killed and her lover
escaped
In the prime of youth, health, glory
and prosperity, the young colonel of Spa

his was carried to his frave with full inili
tary honors. The procession was a very
long one, and many people looKeci at it,
though hi widow shed no tear. At mid
night from out the cemetery of Pere la
Chaise, borne alone on the silent air, came
the notes of music, long-drawn, sweet, sub
dued. A priest coming from administering
the last rites of the church to a dying man,
paused, crossed himself, then hastened on
there was something so strange and
plaintive in the sound and the tune.
It had sounded no triumph on the con
quest of a city ; it had rung to no v ictori
ous entry ; it had breathed no gentle seren
ade ; but over the grave of broken friend
ship, hopes, and promises, Adolphe played
the Spahis' March ! On the following
day, several persons walking in the ceme
tery saw at the head of a newly made
grave a yellow rose plant of a peculiar
shade. II they connected this circum
stance with the sounds heard the night be

with Major Austin, who reached the city on
Thursday night, from Ihe Carson's Creek

almost solid lumps of gold, without more

feet above the level of the Stanislaus, be

woman of the doctor's acquaintance, (the
mother of a young family) entered so far
into his views upon the subject, that she
taught her children from their earliest child
hood to consider ill-humor as a disorder

ingly, she had always small doses ready, and
the little patients, whenever it was thought
needful, took thtibarb for crossness. No

JUDAISM IM Et ROPE.
A spirit of just and most commendable tol
eration appears to be gradually gaining ground
different parts of Europe, as respects the
civil and religious liberty of the Jews. In
tho principal states of Germany, in Austria
Prussia, and Hanover, thoso who belong to
"the faith of Moses" are now almost en
tirely emancipated from ancient restric
tions; and, judging from tho tenor of recent
accounts, their deportment is such as lo
attest the propriety of such changes. Bub
on Ihe other hand, the policy still pursued
Dy bavaria and Saxony, and Russia in par
ticular, indicates that tho governments of
hose countries continue lo be influenced by
the old leaven of bigotry and superstition.
Thus (as we gather from LUnivers Israelite)
Saxony is on the point of withdrawing from
some hundred of Jews the privileges gran
ted to them by tho voto of the Legislature,
nd confirmed by the King ; whilo Bavaria
continues its oppression of 60,000 of the
same failh, and llius indirectly contributes
lo increase Ihe tide of emigration now so
strongly setting in from that region to the
United Stales. Our readers have, donbtles.,
become accustomed by ibis time to the
frequent publication by the Autocrttt of all
he Russias, of some idase concerning tho
Jews of Russia and of Poland, setting forth
egulations and prohibitions affecting their
costumes, and even their beards ! ''In
civilized Europe," says the paper before
cited, "it is difficult to understand why the
Emperor of Russia should prescribe tho
caftan and the cap ; for nobody ever thinks
of reproaching the English Quaker with
their distinguishing costume. Did the Au
tocrat, when he issued his destructive de
crees against long hair and military queues,
envy tho title given to Napoleon by his
soldiers, of "The Little Busybody V On
tho other side, the Government of the Sub
lime Porte (the same journal seems to
think) is animated by a spirit of noblo toler
ation with the reference to tho subject of
Judaism, which might cause more than one
country of Europe which profess to be
'civilized" and Christian," lo blush with
shame.
The position now occupied by Great
Britain on this subject, is already known to
our readers. Tho bill introduced into Par-
liment, by Lord John Kossei., having in
contemplation the removal of 'Jewish
Disabilities," and tho claim of Baron pe
Rotiiscild, to a seat in the Houso oT Com
mons, as one of the members from the city
of London, are matters which has already
attractod no ordinary share of attention, both
in the Old World and tho New, amongst
those who are curious lo know whether, in
the course of time, Jews will not become
entitled to sit in the Purliineut of Great
Britain, just as their brethren now in the
French Chamber of Deputies and the Con
gress of the United States. X. F. Courier.

The shades of night were falling fast,
When through our quiet city passed
A kiss, whose summer coaluuie nice
Reminds me of the quaint device,
Eleelsior !
Her brow was clad, her skirts beneath
l.'nsoiled by mud, bung scant and brief ;
And with a joyttil murmur rung
The accents of her silver tongue,
Exctlsior '.
"Try not the dress !" ihe old folks said,
'The rabbles' scornful shout we dread
The gutter's filth we can abide ;''
But firm that silver voice replied,

"Oh, slop !" the dry goods merchant said,
"You'll save your dress and epoil our

A smile lurk'd in her bright blue eye,
But still came back the linn leply,
Exceltior !
Thus in the twilight cold and gray,
Pretty and neat she wen, her way ;
And to thu sky, serene and fair,
A gladsome shout did rend the air,

A Singular Invention. One of the most
singular mechanical inventions displayed at
the Worlds Fair, is Ihe model of a man by
Count Danin. It represents the figure of a
mau five feel high, in Ihe pioportiou of Ihe
Apollo, and from that size the figure can bo
increased in all its compartments lo six feet
eight inches. It is intended lo facilitate tho
clothing uf an auii)t and it is so ingenious
that the Emperor pardoned and recalled
Count Danin, who is a Pole, on seeing Ibis
result of many years' labor. The number
of pieces composing the model is 7000.

station were put out ; and Ihe light shown
from a small electrical machine illuminated
the entire station sufficiently for the Iransac

Natural Soap in New Mexico. John
Gorman, Assistant Marshal, who was enga
ged in taking the census of New Mexico,
discovered in the Town of Bhiinallo, in Rio
Arriba county, a substance resembling soap.
It makes a lather like soap, and has tho
property of removing grease spots or stains
out of any kind of cloth. When put in wa
ter it immediately slacks like lime. At tho
place w here the disooveiy was first made,
it is with tho suif.ice, and about fifteen
yards square. It is rotten on the top to
about tho depth of three feel, but appears
cleaner and sounder at greater depths. It
can be taken cut in largo lumps, of ten or
fifteen pounds weight. It is as white as
snow, and seems to exit in large (inutilities.
