And the children three—a liarigliry- sneer

And learns on the hr'otlier°’s arms the while
The father bends hirn down to pray
And the f:it.lrer’s gaze was long, long tlu:.re—
“ O God! is this for me T"
The words came up from the heart's despair;
’Twas the first, first; time, in that hour of prayer,

He deems her cold and heartless, and this her

Bidding adieu to the shores of the Rlrjiig,
in our last, we took the cars at Biebrich’lor
ll/Iicsbarlen, a town of 12000 inhabitalnls and
the most modern and beautiful place, we have
seen on the continent. It reminded us" of
old Fairfield, in its general contour, although
of course on :1 much larger ‘scale. It is ebu-
sidered the first watering place in Germany,
and is in short, to the continent, what New.
port and Saratoga are to the States. tie the
. favorite resort of the exquisites, the elite, the
royal-blood and blacklegs, which latter class
have what is termed a‘ “ Hell,” fitted up in a
style of splendor which would eclipse many
abodes of Royalty. Thousands upon thou-
sands in gold, here change hands every
night. There are several hotels, fitted up in
princely style, dazzling public saloons, and
magnificent public and private gardens, bes-
rudded with rare and fragrant plants and
shrubs, which fill the evening air with a per-
fume Shenstone might have envied. The
town lies in a rich and picturesque vall5Ey
surrounded by the hills of the Taunus, and to
01” eyes l8 the Elysium of Germany. From
Wiesbazlen we look the cars for Frankfort,
where we spent the afternoon and evening.
This is a free city on the River Maine, of
about 60,000 inhabitants, and the seat of the
German Diet. Here are a great variety of
objects to interest the stranger, among the
most important of which, may be ii-.ention_'e'_rl
the Iioicl cle Véllie with a large saloon con.
raining portraits ofall the Gerrnan Emperors,
who were formerly crowned here——the town
Library with over 60,000 volumes of rare
works—the Gallery of paintings, with about
1000 original peices—th9 St-adel Museum of
paintings»-—the Natural History Museum-—'-
the Bethrnann Museum with Danne.ker’s
Ariadne—-the house in which Goethe was
born, and his monument in the square in
front of the Theatre—-the Cemetery, &c. &c.
The third Continental Peace Congress was
held here in 1850, at St. Paul’s Church, a.
magnificent edifice capable of holding over
2000 persons, which was densely thvronged
each day. As we have a diplomatic agent;
resident at Frankfort, American travellers
going into Italy or Austria would do well :6
have tlreir passports endorsed by him, as
or-Ether of these powers have any very great
affection to lavish upon the “ Urriversal.
Yankee Nation.” After a good night’s sleep
and a late breakfast, (as we have made it a,
point in every city to rise early and visit the
principal mzrrkets, where you see the mati-
ners, habits and customs of the common and
country people, which although but subjects
and not 7‘u.lers as with‘us,afrer all, constitute
the real essence and stamina of any nation,)
we again took our seat in the cars for Darm-'
sladt, which is the capital of the grand-ducbyl
of Hesse Darmstadt, and the residence of the
Grand Duke, and has a population of 32,000
industrious citizens, mostly Protestants.
From Darmstadt, we again took cars for
Mannheim, a large city on the upper Rhine,
at the influx of the Neckar, of about 30,000 ,
inhabitants. The town is clean and pretty,
and is the seat of the Royal Duke’s Palace,
which is the finest building in the city. ,It
contains a picture gallery and a cabinet of
natural history, as well as a splendid garden
attached. We proceeded thence to Heidel-
burg, an old and pleasant town on the Neckar,
of some 12,000 inhabitants. Here is a cel- .
ebrated seat of learning, which has 500 stu-
dents, and also one of the splendid castle ru- .
ins, the most interesting object in Rheinish
Germany, formerly the residence of the Elec-
tors Palatine. The environs are highly cul-
tivated and form a perfect garden,producing A
an abundance of fruit and grain. Here we
observed the first corn fields, which does not
seem to be cultivated on the continent-—
Wheat, rye, barley, oats, hemp, flax, peas,
beans anrl poppies. are extensively grown, as i
also, turnips, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, &c.
We learned that they manufactured their
lamp oil from the poppies we saw sowed in
such profusion. From Heidelburg, we Went
to Curlsruhe, capital of the Grand Duchy of
Baden, with 24,000 inhabitants. Among
