“VINCIT AMOR PATHOS,”
MISCELLANEOUS.
Last Hours of an Injured
WOMAN.
To iht Editor of the World:
Sir : \\ hen a man has steeped
himself to the degree in all that is
vile in morals and disreputable in
manhood; is unworthy of truth in
any shape; guilty of fraud and
murder—crimes which commit a
man of less shrewdness to the pen
itentiary—as has been shown to be
the case in the portraiture given o r
Daniel E, Sickles, it yet seems
that we have an administration to
honor this man and insult a foreign
power by making him an ambsssa
dor thereto; and wo have a public
party opinion to justify these acts.
Will not these facts be an exten-
uation tc the sins charged against
the unhappy woman who called him
husband, and who now sleeps for
gotten in her dishonored grave*
Will you not allow a simple word
in behalf of one of her sex by one
who has had opportunity to know ?
I for one do not believe Mrs.
Sickles guilty of the charge made
against her. I believe Sickles to
have been as vile in his treatment of
his wife as lie was in every other
respect; perhaps more vile, because
he could wrong her with impunity,
and sweep from the earth, covered
with odium, a man whose graces
created envy in his own mind, and
whose manly sense of honor was a ,
reproach to his own vileness, and
whose intellect and culture were far
beyond his own reach, and whose
only sin was in his simpathy for
and kindness to a neglcctejJ, ill-used
wife. 1 admit that it is a danger
ous ground, this sympathy for a
married woman, who better be con
tent to suffer, endure and die than
touch the tempting cup. Let this
suffice on this head.
That Mrs. Sickles was lovely in
person, simple and childlike in
character, all admit. Sn*h eharac-
TCI ,7«rtw*—- * v v j j -*x*
she the de<;ra<lei! , < ji'hS
led the world to believe, her sensi
bilitis would not have remained so
acute that she died in less than tiro
years of a broken heart.
She was weak and cowardly, I
admit. Alas ! these defects would
have made her sacred in the eyes of
a manly man, arid he would have
done hfs utmost to shield her from
evil.
Let me depict the few last hours
in the life of this injured woman.
Stung, it may be, by an irre
sponsible feeling of remorse, he pre
tends in the eyes of the world to
have restored her to favor. I will
not discuss the propriety of this
kind of klopstock sentiment. I
speak of the fact.
Sho was placed in a handsome
house, with the ordinary appliances
of wealth. Os the secret histoiy of
the two at this time nothing need
be said. She was ruined in char
acter, broken in health, utterly
lost to the world as only women
can be lost—left without hope,
without society, and without sym-
pathy, except from the few who
were related to her, and who loved
and pitied her. She had long in
tervals of nervous prostration, when
she would lie for hours like a dying
person. . She sat day after day
head leaning upon her wasted hand,
and eyes listless, seeing and caring
for little in a world whose sunshine
to her had been so darkly eclipsed.
She sighed faintly but said little or
nothing. She was a sad wreck.
She knew she was dying, and ex
pressed no thought or interest in
anything but her absent daughter.
One day she turned suddenly to
a young friend and asked: “Do
you think me a guilty woman?’ 1
“I wish to speak now while I cm.
I was so shocked and terrified at
that horrible time that I did lot
know what I said. But I am not
guilty of any sin. Mr. Sickles Has
very violent—l was afraid of him
he brought me a paper, which he
said I must sign—he said he should
be hung if I did not sign it; I
never read one word of that paler ;
I did not know one word writtel in
it. I put my name where he Sold
me, and to save his life.”
She was sinking rapidly, and was
! carried to her bed from a long stint-
I ing turn. As she opened her »yes,
j reviving slowly, they fell upon the
I face of Daniel E. Sickles, painted
land framed, hanging before her.—
Lifting her pale hand, she said :
“Take it away.”
Those about her remonstrated ; but
the second nnd the third time she
murmured,
“Take it away.”
The picture was removed. “Now
place my daughter's face there,”
she said with a sad smile. This
was done, and she gazed with a
longing, wistful look upon the young
face, and sighed heavily. The poor
weary eyes closed, and she .was
gone to Ilim unto whom is open the
secrets of the heart.
One Who Knows.
How Mr*. Lee ami Jack-
SON ARE SPENDING TIIE SUMMER'
Among these, I found hero Mrs.
Robert E. Lee, whom I had not
seen for thirty years. I had known
when a boy, as tho belle of Arling
ton, the daughter of George Wash
ington Parke Custis, who was the
adopted child of George Washing
ton, but no blood relation. Then
she was an elegant and attractive
young lady, of affability of manners
and personal charms. Alas ! I
found her greatly changed by time
and still more by disease. The
charm of her manners still contin-
ues, but her body has been terribly
afflicted by rheumatism, which has
made her such a cripple •that, for
some years past, almost from the
commencement of the late war, her
only locomotion is affected in a
chair with wheels, which is moved
about by servant. In spite of this
affliction she is a most agreeable and
cheerful old lady, receives every
one with a smile, and converses up
on all subjects with great intelli
gence, vivacity and good humor.
There is nothing of tho laughter,
querrulousness or discontent of the
invalid in her manner or Conversa
tion. Her time is occupied in so
cial converse, Rowing writing, and
playing with her grandchild, a jol
ly little fellow, the son of Gen. W.
H. Y- Lee. She is firil of energy
night sewing for herself and
ers. At. present she is engaged in
making a dress for herself and one
of her daughters out of some calico
(sent as a present from the I’oenix
! cotton mills in Georgia.
Mrs. Lee, though contented with
her situation, and deeply grateful j
for the many tokens and love and
admiration which have been lavish
upon her husband aud herself, very
naturally sighs for her old home at
Arlington, from which she has beet! J
so ruthlesgle«s and bfirhnrouslv bati-j
ished. She exp- t« to close beri
life amid the scenes of the h«r>py
day- of her childhood and girlhood.
Even this most cherished desire,
however, she will cheerfully sacri
fice to hei dignity and pride, and
will never consent to receive hack
her estates if tendered with any
conditions or as a charitable and
merciful condescension and favor by
the Government Which so cruelly
devasted and appropriated properly
bequeathed by her patriotic father,
and never legally acquired by the
authority which now retains it.—
Arlington must cease to be a Fed
eral cemetery when the family of
llobt E Lee occupy it.
The daughter-in-law of Mrs. Lee
is here with her, the wife of Gen.l
11. F. Lee, one of the most elegant
ad beautiful ladies 1 have seen in
Virgiuia. She was a Miss Bolling,
of Petersburg, of the old Pocahon
tas stock always famous for beauty
.and Bjnrit. Her commanding and
! elegant figure, her bright and beam
| ing face, and air of mingled dignity,
I grace and gentleness, would make
i her in the largest assembly the cyn
osure of all eyes, the “observed of
all observers.” Mrs. T. J. Jack
son is also making a sojourn in the
place. She is a youthful and hand- 1
some widow, of affable manners,
and her little daughter, a bright
girl of seven or eight years, attracts
universal attention, as the sole
heiress of the illustrions hero of
Chancellorsville and of a hundred
other battles.— N. O. Times.

| Empresi of Austria—An
Imperial Beauty—Her Luxu
riant Tresses.
A correspondent of the Boston
j Post writes as follows: “The Em
j press of Austria is enjoying the in
j vigorating air of the Tryolce Alps.
I Iler health seems to be re-establish
ed. A Russian lady belonging to
the household of tho Czarina has
just related to me some interesting
anecdotes of the Empress Eliza
beth, whom she used to see and
converse with daily last year at the
baths of the Kissengen. Tho Em
press is averse to a Eranco-Austri
an alliance, from a fear that the
Emperor Napoleon may prevail on
Francis Joseph to depart from the
liberal policy of Von Beust. She
is naturally joyous, but the misfor
tunes of her husband's relations,
the political perturbation through
which Austria has passed, and an
intense sympathy with human suf
fering, have infused into her a pas
sive strain. She has a keen sense
of the beautiful, and paints and
sings like a poet and an artist.—
The personal appearance of the
Empress corresponds with her deli-"
cate, loving, high-strung nature.—
Her tall form is beautifully mould
ed, her eyes are large and express
ivo, and speaks often things which,
correctly, etiquette forbids her
tongue to utter. Her complexion
is exquisitely transparent. I am
assured by her Russian admirer
that her rich brown hair sweeps the
ground when she lets it fall over
her shoulders to dry in issuing from
the bath. Last year at Kissengen,
a barber, mistaking her for some
body else, as she was walking in
the environs of the town, after bath
ing, offered her a large salary if she
would go with him to Paris and
London, and let him tell his cus
tomers that she was iu the babit of
using some capillary wash ho sells.
Bavarian girls, whatever may be
the reason, have the finest hair in
Europe. There is in the town
f jlo §• ir Austrian Empress
'much of it. It is stated in her ep
j itaph that the nourishment of her
body .was absorbed by the capillary
[ vessels, and that her hair in a short
space of ten months grow, on its
being shaved, to the extraordinary
length of three yards.”
today and To-Morrow,
To«day wo gather bright and
bountiful flowers-—to morrow they
are faded and dead.
To-day a wealth of leaves shade
us—to-morrow, sere aLd fallen,
they crumble beneath our tread.
To-day the earth is covered with
a carpet of green- to-morrow it
is brown with the withered grass.
To-day the vigorous stalk only
bends before the gale- to-morrow
leafless and sapless, a child may
break the brittle stem.
To-day the ripening fruit and
waving grain to-morrow the land
is taking its rest af the toil.
To-day we bear the sweet song

the buzz and hum of myriad in

To-day a stately edifice, com
plete in finish and surrounding,

a heap of ruins marks the site.
To-day there are cattle upon the

MRS. STOWE AND LORD BY
RON
We fail, so far, in all our list of
I over two hundred exchanges, to find
one defonce of Mrs. Stowe’s attack
upon the memory of Lord Byron.
ihe alleged crime is everywhere
(treated as a moral impossibility, the
charges without evidence, and the
publication without excuse.
1 here is a feeling prevalent, re
vived by the attack of Mrs. Stowe,
that Lord Byron’s assailed sister
was the object of a most unnatural
jealousy on the part of Lord Byron’s
wife. Tho sister stood by the
brother before he was married, and
long after. She was devoted in his
service and to his memory, when
absent, and Byron was not slow to
acknowledge and encourage this
love, which, in its way, is as pure
and holy as that of the truest hus
band to the most sainted wife. It
is true, Byron wrote to his
sister the most impassioned letters,
and two or three affectionate poems.
Here are two stanzas to bis sister
Augusta, but who—except a woman
against a woman—would dare sug
gest an unlawful thought or desire
even in these warm words? Mrs.
Stowe has magy amiable and excel
lent brothers, no doubt devoted to
her, but who woyld venture to as
sociate any but the truest love from
tliom to her ?
BYIION TO ms SISTER.
Though the day of my destiny's over.
And the star of my fate Inch declined,
Thy soft heart refused to discover
The faults which so many could find;
Though thy soul with my grief was ac
quainted,
It shrunk not to share it with me,
And the love which my spirit hath
painted
It never hath found but in thee.
Though human, thou didst not deceive
me;
Though woman, thou didst not forsake;
Though hived, thou fbreborest to grieve
inf; ’ • .-
slandered, thou never couldst
shake.
Though trusted, thou didst not disclaim
nm;
, ./irmrgirqnrtea, it gfjp
me. "•<** not to defame
Nor unite, that the world might belie.
From the wreck of the past which hath
perished
Tbits much I at least may recall,
Tt hath taught me that what I most
cherished
Deserved to be dearest of all,
In the desert a fountain is springing,
lu the wild waste there still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of thee.
Extraordinary Self-Immola
tion.—The following statement ap
pears in the Pall Mall Gazette:
“Ail the extraordinary proceed
ings of the many fanatical sects
whose rapid increase has excited bo
much anxiety in Russia are fairly
thrown in the shade by a terrible
act of self-immolation which is re
ported from the government of Sar
atow. A few months ago the
prophets of anew religion made their
appearance in that part of the em
pire, preaching self-destruction by
fire as the only sure road to salva
tion, and so readily was their dread
ful doctrine received by the ignor
ant and superstitious peasantry,
that in one large village no less than
seventeen hundred persons assem
bled in some woollen houses, and,
having barricated the doors and
windows, set the buildings on fire
and perished in the flames. The
authorities are doing all they can to
stay the progress of this new mad
ness, but their task is obviously a
difficult one. The punishments
which the law can inflict must have
little terror for enthusiasts who
deliberately choose a death so hor
rible as the true road to Heaver-
Mr. Peabody’s Las'” Donation.
—The Richmo- Enquirer of
Wednesday ■“J s : , .
<< ..afement has appeared in
news-papers that Mr. Peabody
has given to Washington College
?6(),0(‘0. This is a mistake. Mr.
Peabody has a claim against the
State of Virginia for about 930,009;
and he has given that elaim to
Washington College.”
Madame Stowe’s sensational ar
tiole on Lady and Lord Byron, has
created great excitement in Eng
land, and, as in America, it is uni,,
versally denounced hv the Tress.
