A. J. 1UIEV. Our Minnie. How much tender fugitive poetry, the off ering of genuine feeling, circulates unclaimed in the American newspapers: Here, for exam ple, is a beautiful effusion, fresh from the pure fountain of a mother's heart, upon the death of Our Minnie," which would do no discredit to any living poet : 0 Close with reverent care those eyes: Their meek and sorrowing light hath fled; So trembling gleam through mists of tears From those din med orbs will more be shed. Praw down the thin and azure lid : No look of mute, appealing pain. So piercing anguished gaze on Heaven, Will strike through those blue depths again. Now gently smooth her soft brown hair ; Shred not those glossy braids away. But part the bright locks round her brow, As sweetly in her life they lay. Tress one soft kiss on those soft lips: They thrill not now like nickering flame ; They'll ne'er unclose, in troubled dreams, To breathe again that cherished name. "But press them softly ; still and cold, They part not with the sleepei's breath: fear thou to break the softened seal Left by the kindiy touch of Death ? Wrap the white shroud about ber breast: No trembling throb shall stir its fold ; No wild emotions wake to life. Within that bosom snowy cold. "Fold tenderly her fair young hands : The heart beneath in stillness lies; They'll never strive with tightened clasp, Again to hush its anguished cries.

For some months past, says the Harrisburg Union, the Democratic Review, hh the aid of a few otuer prints and Congicos orators, have been harpoonhi'j the "Old Fogies" at a terrible rate, by way of annihilating them all at the National Convention, and placing in the white house their youthful idol. Our veteran states men, who had grown grey in the service of their v country and bad their judgments ripened by long experience, were denounced as miserable old Fogies, who needed the milk bottle held to their lips to afford them proper nourishment they were represented as being useless in both the field and the cabinet, ami after a certain age were to be carried to their political funeral pile and the wisdom that they had stored up by long itudy sunk into the grave with them. Young America, fresh, ardent and vigorous, was to be elevated, and old fogyism trodden into the dust. The cohorts of Young America repaired to Baltimore, they enlisted the sympathies, the passions and the cupidity of the young delegates in the Convention, they bargained in the secret chambers, clamored in the public bar rooms, and pulled the wires in the Convention, to lay out cold their old Fogy opponents and elevate their champion. It so happened, however, that there were a few Fogies in the Virginia line embued with tome little of the wisdom of the Fogies of old, and when they saw young Absalem struggling in the meshes set for him, they FIERCE D him through the heart and left him as a monument to all who might come after, of the folly . of dtpiing the wisdom of age and experience.

He walked in cit izen's dress, accompanied by the chief officers, along the line, without ostentation, and with hat in hand, bowing respectfully to the assem bly, in return to their hearty greeting. After the review, he was escorted to Castle. Garden, in which he was soon to address his brethren. ; At the entrance to Castle Garden, consider 1 ble difficulty was experienced, as an immense crowd had gathered, all anxious to gain admit tance, and here many indiscretions were com mitted, both by those who were eager to get in, i and those whose duty it was to maintain order. But with this exception all things were as order ly as could reasonably have been expected. As soon as the Military and civilians were seated, (about 5000 in all) Mr. Meagher, a few ladies and several officers upon the stage, Col. Doheny came forward, and in the name of the Irish Military organizations of New York, deliv ered to Mr. Meagher an eloquent address, which was warmly cheered by the audience. At the close of the address, and as soon as the cheering ceased, Mr. Meagher came forward and spoke as follows : Gentlemen : I truatyou will not be displeas ed with me if 1 say that I regret the publicity which has been given to this event, for in may have given rise to expectation which I am not in a position to fulfil.

Yet, it is no impiety for me to predict, that, ns her I suffering has been long her happiness shall be great, and that as she has been called upon to bear weary burden, and to pine and plod in 6ickness and starvation, whilst other nations Uave rejoiced, so, when the appointed day has COme shall her joy be the more joyful, and her glory the more glorious.

Loud cheers. This is the noblest object we can have upon this earth. There is, however, another object which here should stir the feelings, and stimu late the energies should prompt the intellect,, quicken tbe industry, fire the ambition of all who come from Ireland who are jealous of her name, anxious for the sympathy of all great and reputable nations, and who have fixed for her, in the coming year?, an abode of peace, and an eminenco of renown. .

Loud cheers. 1 To this end, the military organization, of which I here behold so conspicuous an illustra tion, is sure to conduce.

Mr. Meagher concluded by citing the following passage of Washington's Farewell Address: "Profoundly penetrated with this idea, I shall carry it with me to the grave, as a strongiu ducement to unceasing vowsthat Heaven may continue to you the choicest tokens of its bene ficence; that your union and brotherly affection may be perpetual ; that the free Constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacred ly maintained ; that its administration in every department, may be sttsmp4 with wirlora and virtue ; that, in fine, the happiness of the peo ple of these States, under the auspices of liber ty, may be made complete, by so careful a pre servation and so prudent a use of this blessing, as will acquire to them the glory of recommen ding it to the applause, the affection, and the adoption of every-nation which is yet a stranger to it." A Sad Story. THE EXILES. An Incident of Seal Life. Translated from the Uerman. It was in the year 1833, aud consequently, some years after the Warsaw revolution, that the young Wenski, in company with some fellow sufferers, returned from France to Gallicia, It was necessary that his residence there should be kept a complete mystery. He, therefore, under various names and in different costumes, passed" from one noble house to another, and so came to the M'Enshe mansion. Here he found Wanda, tlie only daughter, a tender protectress, and she, in him, a worthy object of her sympathy and care. But for a short time only were they suffered to enjoy their noble friendship. Despite all vi gilance, the retreat of Wenski was discovered, and one unfortunate night he fell into the hands of his enemies. The great iron gate separated him from the object of his affection. The trial I commenced, and some months afterwards he w.s J sentenced to be given to Russia. Scarcely had j the terrible news reached the lady, than she Im proved the very short time left Wenski for in tercourse with other meu ; to unite herself in dissolubly to him in marriage. A priest blessed the mournful nuptials, and the bridal pair rose from before the altar to undertake the journey to Russia. The young wife did not know if, w hen they reached their bourne, she would be allowed to follow her husband to prison, or even what his fate would be, whether banishment or something worse. The uncertaiuty did not long, continue. L'pon the Russian journey his fate was decided. Wenski was drafted to Oremberg as a common-soldier. It was a melancholy fate, but the wife followed her husband to Siberia. -rrivel upon llie sj-ut, thtry soon cvui tnceol themselves, like the other exiles, that their do- sition was not so utterly wretched as at firt and at a distance they had imagined.

A few days afteswards he was missed. Search was made in every direction. His cap and coat were found upon the banks of the Ural. There could be no doubt that he had destroyed himsolf. The unhappy wife received with, silence and resignation the tidings of her husband's death ; no murmur escaped her lips ; her eyes were tearless ; only in their depths betraying itself a glimering restlessness which convinced the spec tator that her mind was touched. The reason was easy to understaud? Separated from her cherished husband,, she might now return to her native land. $he wished to do that, but not without bearing with her the remembrance of her married happiness, the bodies of her chil" dren. This thought became her fixed idea, and drove her before the governor to urge her suit. The governor was a stern man, who, however, in his hard office had not lost all human sympa thy. He was moved by the mother's appeal. He not only granted her prayer, which he offi cially should not have clone, but he helped her arrangement for tho removal of the coffins, w hich were placed in a large box closing behiud, and gave-her also a Cossack to guide her out of ' the country and to assist her ia every difficulty. When al! ws reatfv, the in mi refill mother h- self placed in the sled, which stood in the court ofher house, the little coffins of her children, took affectionate leave of friends and acquaiu tunces, and drove away. The journey passed rapidly, and Wanda Wen ski scarcely left the aled which was truly ber home, for she ato'and slept in it. No on won dered at this singular manner of life, least cf all the Cossack, who had understood that Li charge was insane, and who therefore carafally protectedher. The travellers Lad already left the country between the Ural and the Wo'a behind, and were beyond Simbirsk,, when tha carriage stopped at a little station - to arrange. tbejmssports and to change horses. Aa every where else, the Cossack stopped into, the office to make the necessary report, and had gone out again, lie nad no desire to undertake conver sation with his dumb companion, constantly lost iu gloomy thought. But as he came out from the office he leaned upon the back of the tiled, where Wanda did not see him, while the horses where changed. As he stood here he suddenly heaid in the box, which held the coffins, slight noie. Terrified, he sprang aside, yet presently recov ered himself saficiently to approach the myste rious box and apply his ear to it. All was stilL Most other men would have supposed they were mistaken, and would not have sought further. But not so with the Cossack. The "duty." which in the mind of every genuine Russian takes precedence of all other feeling, even the holiesj, urged him back into the office to men tion what he heard. Immediately an official accompanied by an inspector, approached the sled, aud requested Wanda, who had no suspi cion of what hatf happened, to alight. They proceeded to search, aud the unhappy wife, now utterly Uepnvu of courage, suns, powerless. They removed ker from the carriage, and laid her upon theOund iu order to prosecute the search niori methodically. The first object which fell under the officers' eyes were the two little cotfis, which had servea Wanda for a seat. The box the rear of the sled concealed the Jiviug WenskT!

As t tlld hatred for the Cossack, who was reckoned the cause ot all this uuuappiness, as Eympathy for the victims, and even so charac teristic was expression, that whenever he show ed s himself there was a muttering of curse, and imprecations, especially among th wot men. Nothing remained for the officials but to couceal the "dutiful" Cossack until tho depar ture of the criminals. Wenski and his w ife soon entered Oi-cmber, but with different feelings from those with which they had quitted it. Then the hope of freedom smiled upon them, even if pain and suffering hovering around. Now they were sure of a terrible fate, and justly so, for the place of their future residence was Nertschink. WTenski was condo-nned to perpetual imprisonment. His wife was to see him no more. This gave her the death blow. She followed her LusbanJ to the lrightful Nertschitisk, and wandered around the walls, within which her husband lAnguished. But her heart was broken, and before a year had passed she lay upon her bier. The Siberi an heaveu fosters no blossoms upon the grave, and the lfeedless wanderer steps upou. the litt e mound which covers the victiai to conjugal love. May her memory be green to our hearts f r ewer. .The poor Const.intiae Wenski, whose fair fate it was to be loved asfew are loved, survives yet, forgotten by the world, a miserable being. For gotten even by his family, who might do some thing for his relief, he is a prey to the niot-t wretched suffering. The Russian Government does not forbid alms to the exiles.
