Bending humbly to the earth.

Should no morning's dawn e're greet me,
Beaming brightly from the skies,
Thine the eye of love to meet me
In the paths of Paradise."
Now a glad "good night" he gives us,
And he seals it with a kiss;
Naught of earthly sorrow grieves us
In an hour so full of bliss.
Now our arms around him wreathing,
One fond kiss before he sleeps,
Soon we hear his gentle breathing
In a slumber calm and deep.

Biography of Kossuth.
ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., DECEMBER 18, 1851.
Louis Kossuth i is now in the 46th year of
his age, having been in 1806, at Nlo
nok, in Zemplin, a northern county of fl un
gary. His father died when he was yet a
child, but his mother still survives. The
early demise of his father threw difficulties
in the way of the acquirement of a proper
education, but the thiret for knowledge was
enkindled in his youthful breast, and he
strove, and struggled and persevered against
.obstacles, until he became, in every
sense of the word, a learned and accomplish
ed man.
Whilst pursuing the study of the law
in a notary's office in Pesth. Kossuth be
came known, in a limited circle, for his el
oquence, his liberal opinions, and his bold
ness in giving utterance to them. Distin
guished himself in the Hungarian Diet, in
18:32, where he served as a proxy loran ab
sentee, he afterwards undertook to report
and publish the debates of that Assembly
in a journal. The Palatine hunted up an
old law, and printing was forbidden.--For
a while this was evaded by having the de
bates lithographed, but finally, through an
arbitrary sketch of power on the part of the
government, his press was siezed. Still he
Has not deterred from the prosecution of his
patriotic labors, but employed scribes, and
issued large numbers of the debates in man-
uscript.
This inconvenient and troublesome mode
of disseminating information was continued
for some time, and Kossuth at last became
an object of suspicion to the whole of the
Austrian party. In May, 1837, ho was
siezed by the government, and thrown' into
prison. A feeling of sympathy for him
and his cause was awakened by this act,
and it spread itself throughout the whole land.
After undergoing all the rigors of a pris
on, which severely affected his health, he
was liberated in 1810, and after a brief time
spent in recruiting his shattered system,
ICossuth went again to Pesth, and became
editor of a paper there, called the "Heilap,"
or Pesth Gazette. In his editorial capacity
he demanded and advocated great reforms.
In a canvass for a member of the Diet from
in Pesth, in 1843, he was defeated thro' the
efforts of the government and its agents,
and was elected in 1547, notwithstanding
the roost active and untiring exertions were
used against him. He soon became the
leading spirit of the Diet, and moved an ad
dress to the King, concluding with a peti
tion for liberal institutions, on the basis of
Hungarian Constitution, for all the heredita
ry States of the Austrian empire.
In March, 1848, the news of the over
throw of the French monarchy reached the
Hungarian Diet, and on the day after its re
ception, Kossuth delivered a most powerful
speech on the state of his own country and
the condition of its finances, concluding by
moving an address to the Throne, in which
reformatory measures of the greatest impor
tance were demanded. This speech had a
poWerful effect upon the Diet, and the ad
dress was adopted unanimously. Soon af
ter this the revolution in Vienna and the
overthrow of the Metternich Cabinet took
place, and on the 15th of March, amid the
strongest manifestations of joy, a Constitu
tion was proclaimed by the Emperor to all
the nations within the Empire.
On the organization of the first ministry
for Hungary, the Department of Finance
was bestowed upon Kossuth. It was a post
of responsibility, but one for which he was
peculiarly fitted ; and under his administra
tion the most important reforms were made-
Feudalism %vas extirpated, and a liberal elec.
toral law passed, which received, the royal
sanction on the 11th of April. Notwith
standing this apparent assent, however, the
government of Austria secretly opposed the
reforms instituted, and an opportunity for
exhibiting its hostility soon presented itself.
An insurrection in Servia and Croatia, de
pendencies of Hungary. broke out, nt the
head of which was the Baron Jellachich.—
After first sanctioning the course of the
Hung,nrian. Diet in denouncing Jellachich,
the Austrian government took occnsion, on
the settlement of some troubles in Italy, to
change its position. Jellachich was receiv
ed at Court with distinguished honors. and
Austria and Hungary stood in a hostile at
titude towards each other. Although en
feebled by long illness, Kossuth was borne
to the Diet, where he made a speech repre
senting the dangers surrounding the nation.
He advocated mild and conciliatory men
res, and recommended that another appeal
should be made to the Emperor. before any
extreme steps were
,taken. Two deputa
tions went to Vienna, but returned in .dis
grace, and Kossuth and his colleagues re
signed office, in the hope that such a course
might have n salutary influence. All was
however, ineffectual, and Jellachich having
in the mean time invaded Hungary. the Di•
et, seeing the perils that surrounded the
country, conferred dictatorial powers on
Kossuth. ,
All was in confusion. The Palatine re
signed his office and Went to Vienna. The
utmost excitement pervaded the populace
of Peith, and . when Count Lewberg, who
had been appointed by' the Emperor to corn.
tnand the Hungarian army, arrived there,
they rose, and - slew him'. in the Streets:—
This brought affairs to a crisis, Martial law
was proclaimed by the Austrian Emp •ror,
and supreme power was assigned to J e llo,
chich. The Hungarian Diet then declared
itself a permanent body, and revolting against
the Austrian authorities, appointed Louis
Kossuth, Governor and President of the
Committee of Safety.
War followed, and although its great
events are yet fresh in the recollections of
those who read this sketch, few are aware
of-the-talent.-judgment, energy and skill ex
hibited by Kossuth -in—his-peculiar-and--re
sponsible position. Under his direction the
contest was about to be decided in favor of
Hungary, when Russia interposed, and came
to the rescue of her sister despotism. Aus
tria. But, notwithstanding the immense
odds, Kossuth still kept these powerful al
lies at bay, until Gen: Bem was defeated at
Temesvar, on the 9th of August, 1849.
Two days afterwards, Kossuth held an
in
terview with his chief and Confidental offi
cer, Gen. Georgey. What the subject of
that conference_ was, has never yet been
known, but the dictatorship passed from the
hands of Kossuth to those of Georgey.
On the 13th of August, the world was
astounded and Hungary paralyzed by the
intelligence that Georgey's army of 24,000
men, with about 150 pieces of artillery had
been surrendered to the Russian General
Rad igar.
In this hour of dire calamity, when all
his hopes were crushed with the Hungari
an cause, Kossuth and his companions fled to
Turkey. and found shelter in the dominions
of the Sultan. Austria and Russia denian
, fled that they should be given up. The
Porte became alarmed, but offered to pro
tect the fugitives on the condition of their re
nouncing their religious faith, an alterna
tive to which some of them yielded.. Kos
suth was made of sterner stuff and refused.
The Sultan still extended his protection, and
the demands of Russia and Austria finally
settled down to the condition that the rebels
as they were termed, shOuld not be permit
ted to leave Turkey. England, however
joined with the United States, in insisting
upon their release, and the Sultan with a
noble-mindedness which does him honor list
ened with favor to the representations of
these two governments. After beimg an
exile for more than two years, Kossuth was
released on the Ist of September last, and
on the 7th, embarked with his family, and
a number of the companions of his trials and
sufferings, on board the U.'S. Steamer
Mississippi, which had been placed at his
disposal by Congress.
The Mississippi, with Kossuth and his
friends on board, sailed from Smyrna and
touched at several Mediterranean ports, but
the French government having denied the
released exiles a passage through France
to England, the steamer bore them to Gib
ratter. There he left the Mississippi, and
sailed fur England in a passenger steamer
where he was received with unbounded en
thusiasm, and as soon as the nature of his
engagements would, permit embarked in
the Humboldt fur the United States, and
reached New York on the 4th instant.
The Whiskey Insurrection.
During the trial of Castner Hanaway,
frequent reference has been made to the
Whiskey Insurrection,' and persons not ac
quainted with the history of the latter, have
supposed that the Christiana and the Whis
key affair were much alike. 1)r. Carnahan
delivered a lecture on Monday night, at
Princton, N. J., on the "Whiskey Insiir
rection," and we extract the following
sketch of it from the Princeton Whig) .
The aim of the lecturer was to set this
mutter right before his hearers ; about which
there had been a great deal of misapprehen- ,
sion. The conduct of Gallatin. Bracken
ridge, Findley, and others, and the part
they took in the proceedings of the various
meetings which were held subsequently to
the first outbreak, were minutely described:
The state of feeling engendered by their
hatred to the excise law, in the disaffacted
portion of Pennsylvania, was such, that the
quiet and orderly portion of the community
were overawed by the lawless and violent;
and they did not dare express their .senti
ments, and in many cases had to acquiesce
in proceedings which silently they condem
ned, through fear of personal violence.—
Washington's proclamation only added fuel
to the flume ; arid the commissioners appoin
ted by the Government, alter fruitless nt•
tempts at reconciliation, went away leaving
one of their number to bring - on, to the.. Go
vernment the names of those who availed
themselves of the amnesty offered by Gov
ernment.
In the meantime Washington had'an army
of 15,000 men, drafted from the Siete of
Virginia, Maryland Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey. The army MS !JUL in motion, and
crossed . the mountains by the Bedford route.
Time, and the danger which they were
incurring, cooled the ardor of the Insurrec
tionists wonderftilly. Their leaders .fled,
and when the army entered their country,
there was no opposition although while the
army was assembling, it was held up to ridi

A Romantic Story.
The Boston 'nines relates the following
incident as an illustration of the manner in
which they do things Down East:
A few months since, a gentleman, whom
we shall give for the time the uncommon ti
tle of Smith, became enamored of one of the
fairest daughters of the city of beauties.—
She was an ornament of one of the highest
circles—possessed of wealth as well as beau
ty, and hence was an. object of devotion to
many unmarried young men, Smith, how
ever, soon obtained the highest place in her
affections, and they were engaged tobe mar
tied. But before the happy event took place
it was necessary for Smith to make a visit
to California, and he accordingly sot out for
the land of gold. Every one knows that
California is a great way off, particularly
from way Down East, and that 'months
must elapse ere the journey out and back
can be made. Some of our readers may
possibly know that months areages to young
ladies ,on the verge of matrimony ; and smile
times what may require ages to accomplish
will at others be achieved in months.
Well during the absence of Smith, the
young lady, his affianced, was beset with
admirers, and Oh ! fickel woman, one tri
umphed over tender and susceptible heart.
We will call this fortunate Lothario's nano
Haynes, who determined riot to be so un
feeling as to desert his sweetheart as Smith
had dune, and had the wedding-day fixed
for an early period. The ivedding dresses
were ariatiged—the nice new what-do you
call ems with lace frills around the edges—
were all carefully folded arid laid away in
the bureau drawers—a spang new suite of
clothes, latest fashion, was made for the ex.
peewits bridegroom; and indeed every prep
aration was made fur the important event.
Both parties had the "OW' and cuuld afford
to do it.
Meantime, poor Smith is en his way
home, having made a capital venture in the
•land where they hang pay ple fur stayling.'
He is ignorant of the change that has taken
place in the affections of his betrothed, and
his heart heats happiness and pleasantly as
he nears his native home. 11..; arrives
on the very evening on which the nuptials
of the inconsistent mistress are to take place.
Both bride•and bridegroom are already at
tired in their wedding clothes—good clothes.
The bride is at her father's house—the
groom at his own. The ceremony is to take
place %k ithin an hour. Smith. the deluded
rushes to clasp his sweetheart to his breast,
and kiss from her cherry lips the chitlings
for his long absence. He enters the house.
The inconstant beholds him. She shrieks.
Smith is astounded, for he thinks all that
white satin and all that bridal robe, and all
those white kids, and so forth, mean some
thing. She is fUliy • attired as a bride—but
Who is to be the bridegroom ? It could trot
