Lines on the death of Mrs. H. V. Ann-
. strong.‘
Peaceful be thy slnmbers, Emma,
Calm and holy be thy i"-est,
Clouds no more shall gnther o'er thee,
And no fears disturb thy breast ;
Thou hast gained the land of promise,
Thou art with thy Saviour now,
Singing with the pure and holy,
Th:-re, methlnlis, I see thy brow-
Flasliing with 9. crown of glory,
And ’ti5 radiant and bright,
On her brow, dear Emma’ wears it,
ind her robes are spotless white.
And the Master culled thee, ‘Emma,
Saying, “gentle spirit, come,”
And the pear-lylgates were opened,
To receive thy spirit hoine ;
Emma raised the latch so gently,
And she passed so softly through,
Vain, alas, the licnrts that loved her,_
Waited for a last ndieii.
Gentle as the breath of evening,
As it calmly takes its flight, .
Leaning on the breast of Jesus,
Emma bade us all good-night ;
All good-night, until we meet her,
In that country bright and fair ;
In that lnnrl there is no purtings,
No “good~niglit” is wlii.=.pcrc.l there.
Husband, weep no more for Emma,
She has only gone before,
Tlu-re, thy angel-bride awaits thee,

Foreign Counts and Native Ninnies.
You Indies of the verdant class,
Soft, sentimental souls,
Beware of foreign snobs who pass
For noble exiled Poles.
Oh I dote not on their raven hair,
Their lean and hungry mnws,
Their bushy chins, their tragic air,
And sallow lantern jaws.
Trust not the rank impostor’.-1. tale,
No patriot was he,
Whose luckless fate it was to fall
In some ca:.spiracy—-
.\'o.ur Count, who bears upon his head
That rich luxuriant mop,
The mill of penance soon will tread,
And sport the Bounty crop.
The heart beneatli that seedy vest,

With sordid feelings is possessed,
I Well matched with outer dirt.
He wants your money, not your hand,
In seeking you for wife,
He ratlier, durst he, would demand
Your money, or your life.
Count indeed I count your spoons when he
Has been to make a call.
And_vcry fortunate you’ll be
If you s,lu_1ll find tliezu 1131.
But better were it ‘iv-ith your plate
The follow should depart,
Than In his power get. your estate,
By stealing, first, your lieavt.
You ladies of ii certain age,

And don’t in wedlock’s bonds engage
With counts of foreign breed.

the expression of Mrs Newcomb’s face

0l1,it was inexpressibly sad! A little
while afterwards I turned again to the
place Where she had-been sitting all alone
but she was not there. “ What ails Mrs.

“ Yes I and if you asked for her, there
was always an air, or tone, or expression
in his face, that made you feel as if he
did not regard her as of much conse-

would inquire. “She doesn’t go cut,” or
“ shc’s a queer little home body,” or “the
baby's sick,” or’ “she doesn’t enjoy com-

that I had. It might have quickened in

few more rays of Iightvto fall on her not

M. Newconib heard no more. But
wasn’t that enough to give him the heart
uteri his wife, now lost to him forever.——
She was neither 9. brilliant nor a hand-
some woiinn ; but, true as steel to tlut-y.
Love for her husband was a passion that
involved all the elements of he-rlifc. But
the delicacy of - her perceptions too soon
revealed the sad truth that for some cause
she failed to win from her husband is love
in any degree answering to her owu.—--
'l_‘l1i_s so. shadowed her fccliiigs that she
often appeared unamiable in his eyes,
when she was only in strife with hidden
anguish. Gradually he grew iudifi'ei'ent,
and simply because he diduot understand
her. He imagined her incapable of deep
affection, when every CllOl_‘(l_ in her; soul
was thrilling in too. p,ainl'ul.scusibility.
And so. the darlseuiug years Went‘. on,
and the fl‘-Yerecl pulses began to take slow-
er beat. Mr. 1\‘ewcomb grew more and
more indifferent to his nervous, and at
times fi'etful,but daily fading wife. Oth-
ers saw tha. her days were numbered;
but he did not take the alarm. “Mrs.
Newcomb looks very thin and feeble,” re-
marked a friend. “She isn’t quite so

John Minor Botts, of Virginia in Rome.
Roma, Dec. 30," 1857.
“Mr, Botts, while here, gave a very
funny account of the manner in which he
made his way into" the Sistine Chapel du-
ring the ceremonies of Christmas Eve.-
His courier had forgotten to tell him that
he must appear on that-occasion, if at all,
in full dress—gloves, black dress coat and
all.
nj-inabilinifints-—n' gr'ea‘e~c'*<mt over’ 9. frock
-—aud the Italian guard, of course, turn-
ed him back. Ilisdiscoinliture, howev-
er, was but momentary. He had made
up his mind to go in, and no time was to
be lost in seeking other apparel. But
the invincible Virginian was. master of
the situation. Three things seemed to be
required, to be presentable : First, to
throw off his overcoat ; second,-to get a
pair of gloves ; and third, to improvise a
swallow tailed coat. The first he did
with reckless prodlgality, worthy of the
desperate einergcncy. As for the second
he would willingly have resorted to the
time-honored expedient so often resorted
to in such cases by,-, our countrymen
abroad, of converting his frock into a.
dress coat, by pinning up the skirts, but
as luck would have it, he liad no pins,
and, to crown his destitution, he had no
gloves. - . '
Here" it was that tliat invention which
is the offspring of necessity came to his
aid, and enabled him to overcome dillicul-
ties at once. Tucking under the ends of
his coat tail, he put his hands in his pock-
et, which in this way served the double
purpose of keeping back his skirts and
concealing the absence of kids. He
then boldly marched up the aisle, frustra-
ting all the objections of one
or two of the more fastidious guards, who
still found fault with his costume, by the
constant repetition of the only four Ital-
ian words with which he was fumlliu1'———
“ Aron czzpisco-—smm A/I7)1l’.’7‘Z.C(1'7l()”——(I don’ I:
understand, I am an Amcricmi.) There-
upon he was allowed to pass. Having
secured 3. good place, he saw at the door
Judge B. of Connecticut, who had been
put back for the same cause as himself,
and he once more snllied out to the res-
cue of his countryman. It took him fif-
teen miuutes to arrange the Judgc’s coat,
and teach him the magic pass words, af-
ter which they both entered and enjoyed
the services.” '
The editor of the Albany Evening
Journal copies the ‘above from the New
York Post, and adds his experience, as
follo'w's:' ‘ ' ‘ ' ‘ '_
Our friend Botts is not the only Amer.
ican who has experienced the inconveni-
ence of going to “Court,” without :1
“Court Dress.” In May, 1852, we were
in Vienna, on the occasion of a. visit of
the then Emperor of Russia to his impe-
rial l;)l'Ol1ll(‘.I' of Austria. He arrived on
a Saturday. On Suutlay morning, think-
ing it probable that we might get anoth-
er shy at their iinjcstles, in the Iinpci-lzil
Chapel, we stnrtccl with our daughter and
courier, for the palace. The pals cc court
was densely c‘.’0.v.’(led with citizens of Vi-
enna. We clmnced to drop into the
wake of a lady and gentleman for whom
crowd opened a passage. Arriving at
the foot of the stair-way leading into the
palace, we were licsituting which way to
turn, when the gentleman, at the sugges-
tion of the lady on his arm, (lirccted the
sentinel to allow us to pass. VVe follow-
ed into an antevroom nlread filled, with
the ministers of state and t .e rnarshals
of the empire, toge’sh.er- v.*i.tl-1 foreign ’ am-
bassadors, all in the full blaze of orders,
stars, epaulcttes, &c.
Illustrious persons accompanied by 19.-
dics resplendent with diamonds, occupied
nu adjoininlng apartment, at the door of
which our progress was arrested by an
usher, wlio‘undci'took in German, why
we cculd not. pass. But ignorant of the
language, our position was bccoxniug es-
pecially awkward, when the 1;.-._dy,, 3 mem-
ber of the imperial, family, to whom we
were first i_pdeb.tccl, said, "in a language
t_.l_mt_ we did uiidevsmnd. that our “ top
coat” coustitntecl an objection (not un-
reasonably) to our introduction to the
best blood of the empire. But the lady‘
very 1‘-{gdly took 0u1'<lr.u.:r1_xtez.= with her,
while we l'€t‘,li_"E_l§:Cl to. the court-yard to
deposijie the over-cont with the courier.—-
.I5.u't even with this nmcuclment, we were
still, like Mr. Bolts, in a. frock coat and
without court gloves. So instead of ngniu
attempting to pass the rubicon we remain-
ed among the gentlemen without ladies,
(inurslials, generals, &c. &c.) uut.ll_ the
two imperial families, picceeilcd by the
tall, majestic Niclic«,l:1n,' null the youthful
lgandsouie Joseph, passed, arm in arm
through the ante-rooms to glic chapel.
In the evening, which was passed pleas-
antly with Mr. McCui'dy, our repi'esenta.-

ognized tlic right of “every resident in-

duty of the Government to secure to him
this right was pronounced imperative.-
The promise here held out, we say, was
generally satisfactory. Wlien this was
followed by his instructions to Gov. Wail,
ker, in the same tenor and spirit, the ini-
pression of most men of; the North was
that the Kansas trouble was ’ ovcr—tl:at
there would be no farther rlifllculty, and
perhaps for 9. time, at least, no further
need of aI’.epub1lc:1n party. I t was this

“I repeat that in -.az'uo!:=e»:«. counties out

Surely, then, it cannot be said that such

than one-tentli of the present. voters of
Kansas, i'eprcsciitcd the vote of the peo-
ple of that 'I‘crritory could rightfully im-
pose :1 (.‘-on.-zlitution upon them without
consent. The.-zc nineteen counties, in
wlilch there was no census, constituted a
miijority of the counties of the 'l‘erritoi'y
and these fifteen counties in which there
was no registry gave a much larger vote
at the October election, oven with the It

given to ithc Llclegntcs who signed the
