TILE GEAVE OP EONAPASTE.
On a lone barren isle where the wild
waving
b-llow,
Assails the stern reck end the loud tempests
rave.
The hero lies still, while the dew dropping
willow,
Like fond weeping mourners, leaned over the
graTe.
The lightning may Cash, and the loud thunders
rattle,
He heeds not, he hears not, he's free from all
pain :
He sleeps his last sleep, he has fought his last
battle,
No sound can awake him to glory again.
Oh shade of the mighty, where cow arc Ihe le
gions !
TLut rushed but to conquer when thou leu'st
thtm cu,
Ai&3.' they have perished in far distant re-
giCi;S, ' "
Anl all save the fame of their triumph is gene.
The trumpet may sound and the loud cannon
They hoed uot, they hear not, they're free from
all pain,
They s eep their last sleep, they have fought
their last battle,
No sound can awake tliem to glory again.
Yet spirit immortal, the tomb cannot bind
thee !
For like thine own eagle that soared to the
sun,
Thou Bjivingest from bondage, and leavest be
hind thee,
A name, which before thee no mortal had won.
Though nations may combat, and war's thunder
rattle,
No more on the steed wilt thou sweep o'er the
pla.u :
Thou s.eep'st thy last slep, thou hast fought
thy last batt'e,
No sounu can awake thee to glory again.

But it is apparently something more than

AVhen the serf is mnde a soldier, his body
only is taken. They care not for his heart; but
with the officer, it is the soul that is ueeded:
the problem of the llussian government being,
how to seize the soul of a man whose life of
insupportable misery renders death indiflerent
to hint.
This soul has been early deadened in those
schools where is taught only the void nothing
material nothing moral; so that, from very
weariness, he is thrown into the arms of those
enervating pleasures which deadens it yet more.
But even this twofold operation does not always
succeed in extinguishing a strong mind. All
that still remains of the man must be restrained i
must be overcome and that by a moral ttr

Ventilation.
Mrs. Swisshelm has given her readers quite a
chapter on ventilation. Much has been said and '
much written on the subject by others; but with
little effect. We !,. Mr, k i '
little effect. We hot-c
will at least arrest public opinion:
"People are beginning to ventilate tho public
halls so that one can Mmietimes hear a lecture
without being obliged to inhale other people's
cast off breath, and foul gasses ; but churches
generally hold class communion, and with a most
brotherly pertinacity the same mouthful of air
is breathed by the whole congregation. Sister
Urown throws it out of her luugs with a few
seeds of consumption in it, and then brother
Jones takes it into his chest, and gives it back
with a tobacco flavor, and so on round, each one
suppling fr m his or her store house some ani
mal matter to make the precious little morsel of
r vJi iuu
. i
oreatn snut up within the four walls, good turn
micK ior lamily consumption. If their minds
;uo not oecome assimilated by a communion of
faith, their bodies might bv the n-eneral union
and communion, aud mixing up of gasses and
vapors of their mortal part. People who would
not eat out of the same dish with another, or sip
out of the same spoon, think nothing of taking
into their lungs, and incorporating with their
blood the particles of foul matter which have
passed off from other's systems.
" We would much rather submit to an dis
criminate use pf tooth brushes than breath. It
would nof appear half so disgusting to put another
person's tooth brush into one's mouth as it would
be to take hia cast out breath into one's lungs,
and in a crowded church, without great care in
ventilating, this procets is' regularly going on,
and so we, just as regularly go off."

aside the marriage, and smuggled the young j
bridegroom off. Lola started in pursuit, over
took and brought back her husband, horse
whipped him for consenting to the flight, and
then kicked him adrift. Sho then proceeded to
Paris, where she lived faster than her income
would permit, plunged her creditors and half
the beau world into the most hopeless despair,
and then slipped off to Spain, whither her fame
had preceded her. Arrived in the Spanish capi
tal, she accepted a three weeks engagement as
a danscuse at the opera, and then, recruited in
purse, went to Naples, Portugal, etc., and finally
returned to Paris, paid up her debts, and then
shipped herself to the United States. In figure,
Lola is rather jjump, and of the middle height;
a pale, dark complexion, the lower part of the
features symmetrical, the upper part not so good,
owing to rather prominent cheek bones, but set

upon the square, we sec trains of wagons, hal

snow in so thort a space of time. The suow
now lies four feet high in the streets. There
are hundreds of people employed in clearing the
sidewalks. Three poor unfortunate women were
found frozen in the snow near the city. It lies
twelve feet high between here uiJ Leipzig, and
fourteen persons and ten horses were found
buried in the snow near Bautzen. The cold is
