All in the pleasant summer weather Under the roues, my heart and I In the olden way took counsel together; I laid. '‘Oh. friend in the years gone by, Jbere were nights of beauty—days of delight— Snnrue and tuneet— mountain and sea— Bat the fairest past was never so bright As this sweet summer to you and me; There's a golden glory round me—I s em as in a shiine— Bead me this beautiful mystery, oh, happy heart of mine. I beard in the summer silence, the petals fall from arree— I utr in tho sonny distance the gleaming mountain’s snows. Softly, slowly, as one that Is dreaming, My heart made answer unto mo; “ Panties emile and lilies are gleaming; Nor vex them witli questioning—why should we ? Ion shimmering veil of amethyst tender Is lovely as liriit—hut ’neath it wait The glacier's cruel, treacherous splendor, And pitiless chasms dark as fate. Thank God for the golden glory—the tender radiant rest— And under tho summer roses, dream on the sum mer’s breast. AU in the pleasant sunshine a shadow chilled the air— Ifelt the sweep of a viewless wing as it startled tho waves of my hair. And I answered. Far above mo White clouds floated over the blua; I murmured, “God comfort all who love me— For as the cloud drift*, so from you II my life dri ting.” The olden story Forever repeated in passion and pain— Crovded with love—in the noontide glory— Under the roses, Hope is slain. Hat tears fell on the pansies blighting thlir purple bloom— Its stit.lv, gleaming lilies seemed sculptured on a tomb „ Then thro' the saddened silence thrilled a strain of tong. And soothed by its tender beauty, my soul grew calm strong. And I said, “For this summer of marvelous sweet ness, I will thank God, oh heart of mine; For years, with change and incompleteness, Can never trouble its calm divine. Tho' my life has beeD weak in its living— Tho' imperfect all I have done— Thou, my Heart hast not failed in giving. And the love of the Father by love is won. sweeter than life Earth's passionate lore—dear Heaven’s radiant rest— From the love of Earth to the love of Heaven, I drift as the cloud to tho west." And Peace, like a benediction from tho altar, fell on mo Aa aoftly as tbs twilight over the summer sea. The riegn of tho Summer’s Queen is over— Faded and fled the lilies white— mpened the grain and brown the clover, And the purple pansies—the heart’s delight— Emile from the yellow grass and mosses, An sit in my room alone— so more dietured by hopes or losses— Scarce regretting the eummer flown— And wait tbe certain coming of the viewless wing again. watch for tho chilly shadow—and plead with tender pain, And That the one who holds me dearest, may learn to 1'iok above, "ben alone, beneath the roses, ho dreams of the olden love.

What a perfect model of a young man that ono mnst bo who can say with truth, “I have never done a foolish thing!” I feel no fear of having my word doubted when Isay that in my time I have done a good many, ono of which nearly resulted in my being prevented from ever relating the following story. Paris, as Albert Smith used to say, is a “rath er jolly place—rathefr funny,” but it has its se rious side. There are the grand Hues and ma jestic Boulevards; but there are also tho wretch ed al'eys and *culs*de-8ac;’ the noble palaces, and the ruinous crowded honse s, each a perfect warren; the acts in the sunshine of bread day, and the deeds of darkness. “Take care of j ourself,-’ was the last laugh ing address of my friends, as I took my ticket at London Bridge Station—an address as laugh, ingly replied to; and that same evening, with a companion, I was strolling down the Boulevard des Italiens, smoking a cigar, and enjoying the novel sights around; the newsvendor's kiosk; the tall, white stone houses, with their bright Venetian shutters; the handsome shops, with their costly contents; the gay throng of promen- aders; the numberless little marble-topped ta bles ; and the cool way in which people sat out of doors to sip ‘cafe noir, eau saucree,' or ‘vin do Bordeaux.’ Here was a couple playing dom inoes; there a quartette, evidently tradesfolk, with a moderator-lamp seated at a table outside their shop door, happily engaged at a French version of short whist. Now tho pointed-mous- tachod-tighhcoated, cocked-halted *6ergent-de- ville,” with his long thin sword, would take one’s attention; now one of the manly shabby- uniformed, bnt active, cat-like sunbrowned sol diers, one and all carrying their arms Then tbe white cap of a bister of Mercy, or the starch plaits of a ‘bonne,” would diversify tbe throng. Everywhere there was something new to take the attention, while not the least evident was the love of our neighbors for display, a3 shown in gilded railings, bright hnes, and, above all, in flowers clustering round so many windows. No gas-flaming, heavy-looking pnblio houses here, but elegant marble and velvet furnished cafes, resplendent with mirror, white and gold, and overlooked by a presiding deity in the shape of a ‘damo de comptoir,’ throned amidst fruit, flowers and wine, coffee urns and confection ery, herself a very model of the latest Paris fashion. I slept that night in a confusion of ideas, strangest of which was a belief that Paris was a sort of fairy land, where all was perfect; and I wooke the next morning to a capital hotel breakfast of long bread, ‘cafe-au-lait, tetris frais,’ and a string band, recalling borne, out side tbe window, with the strains of the “Lan cers’ Quadrilles ” Then came a round of sight seeing-cathedral, church, picture gallery, bridge, fountain, palace, opera, theatre and re view. We lunched and dined ‘a la Francaise.' and pretended to like the French pots go and their wines. We played billiards at tbe ‘cafes,’ smoked bad cigars, made ourselves ill, tired our selves out, and all tho while avowed that wo were in the very height of enjoyment. At the end of a fortnight, Paris did not seem half so bright a place; and, certainly, no bet ter than London. One day I spent upon tbe sofa reading the Times and Galignnni; and that same evening my companion actually hint ed at it being almost time to thmk of going back home. But at the ‘table d’boto’ we en countered a youDg fellow-countryman who put ns through a sort of catechism upon onr saying that we were about tired of the place, ending bv telling ns that we had seen nothing yet. and prorui.-ingto initate us into a little more Paris ian life and manners. We assented to his acting ns guide; and he certainly did initiate ns—or rather give ns a les son—in Parisian life and manners—one which proved qnite sufficient to satisfy me; and two days after, I was congratulating myself npon being safely et home. It was about 10 o’clock at night that, after spending an hour or two amid the ‘cafe chat- ants’ in the Champs Elysees, onr new friend led ns np and down several streets, till he pans ed at what seemed to be a private house. “Yon ought not to go back,” he said, “with out seeing a gambling honse.” “Oh 1 I don’t know,” I said, hesitating; “I don’t much care for that." You need not either of you play,” was the reply, “we’ll just go in for half an hour, and then have a look at something else.” And then we entered a well lit passage, a door closed behind ns, shutting us in like flies in a trap, and a well-dressed waiter ushered us into a brilliantly lighted saloon, wherein were col lected some twenty well-dressed men, seated and standing round a centre-table covered with a green cloth, while another waiter handed round coffee, ices and champagne. “Don’t refuse the refreshments,” whispered our guide" “It will look strange. They are all free—found by the proprietor, who recoups himself out of his visitor’s losses.” I nodded and partook of some champagne, as did my companions; when, eager to see all that was going on, we walked up to the rouge-et-noire table, and looked on. The stakes were not very high, becauso it was so eariy in the evening, so onr guide said; men winning and losing various small sums with the utmost nonchalance. In effect the game seemed then tame and uninteresting, and thoroughly wanting iu that excitement of which I had so often read. There were half cries of croupier and tailleur, and tbe faint click and chink of franc and fivo-franc pieces as they were raked together; but there were no fierce aspects^ no knit brows, or sweat-bedewed foreheads; all was calm and gentlemanly; and I was wondering how long it would be ere my companions were place money in his pocket, and heliad, besides, a goodly heap on the table before him. At last I grew as deeply intent npon the game as was Rivers himself, and watched each ven- fnrfl -frvr r/cnlf nn - A— * ready to go, when our new friend took a five franc piece out of his pocket, staked it and saw it melt away. Another shared its fate, and an other, and another. “Always my luck!” he said, coolly, as he turned to mo. “Lost a louis! that’s as far as I shall go. Ah! the disease has proved infec tious ; I see your friend has taken it.” I turned, with surprise, at his words; fori bad not missed my old school-fellow. Rivers—a quiet, steady, thoughtful man, whom I should have thought the last to have staked a shilling at a gam9 of chance; but, sure enough, there he was, placing his money first on one color, then on the other; and as I drew near to his elbow, it seemed always changing at the right time; for be invariably won. If I had before found the proceedings tame, they were now most exciting; the game seemed entirely different since my friend had com menced playing, and I watched each stake, and listened to each cry of “Bongo,” or “Noir,” with an eagerness that 1 canid only have pitied in another. It almost seemed A3 though my friend’s suc cess had been the signal for an increasing thirst for tbe game, for the stakes gradually grew higher; gold began to mako its appearance, bright and yellow, among the silver, men who had been smoking, drinking and chattering about the room drew, as I had done, nearer -to the table, to watoh tho proceeding?; the mur- awaking him. ~ j looked upwards.

But I could not look down at him, nor heed his warning cry to de scend, for all my weight was now upon the it was that I covld see greed, avarice, cunning, a host of evil passiors, flashing from the eyes around, as River’s heap of. money grew larger and larger. ^ ? The tide of Bln success turned at last, and os I watched him, I saw his brow knit tighter and tighter, as with inconceivable rapidity his pile of money melted away, almost without a single renovating ‘coup’. Then first one pocket to was opplied and then another, till with a laugh full of disappointment and annoyance, he turned from the table, walked np to the buffet, and tossed down a tumbler of wine. It required almost an effort to tear myself away from the table, where there was an excited Rivers to the buffet, where he was thoughtfully standing. “Ought to have left off sooner, eh?” he said; “or else not hare begun,” he muttered. “But where are you going ?'* “Only back to the table for a little while, I said.” “No, no; let’sbe off now. I’m sick of this!” “I stayed all this while for yonr pleasure,” I sum replied: “I think you*night stay a little while for mine.” “Ican’t stand it,” said Rivers; “and lam cleaned out.” . . “What?” I exclaimed. “You have not lost any of yonr own money ?” “Every franc,” he said bitterly; “and so will yon, if yon go near that cursed table.” I hesitated for a few moments, but the temp tation was too strong; and probably seing that hesitation, a waiter approached and offered me some wine. I could keep back no longor; the low talking at tho tables seemed like whispers calling me to go and sweep np a glittering pile of money. Mammon himself summoned me to his worship, and feeling certain that I saw fail ings in my companion’s method of play, I walk ed up to the tuble, threw down a five-franc piece and saw it raked away. I threw another upon the cloth, and that also was swept away. In a sort of intoxication, brought on by the excitement, I staked two pieces this time, and they also disappeared. Half a napoleon shared their fate; then a napoleon; when Rivers caught me by the arm it being his turn now to play the part of mentor and to whisper me to come away. ‘•Monsieur can play for himself, sir. Why do you interfere?” said a swarthy individual with a short black beard, and very close-cut hair. “I’ll come soon,” I said angrily. “I can do no worse than you have done.” Rivers shrugged his shoulders, and turned away to take another glass of champago from a waiter, when the fierce looking Frenchman whispered to me, “Flay high, Monsieur; you are more likely to have ‘la bonheur.’ The fickle goddess likes not bumble offerings.” Turning impatiently from my would-be- counsellor, whom I set down as belonging to nected with tho establishment, for while the others had gone, he still lingered behind. “Would Monsieur like a bed here ?” said the croupier, smiling as he advanced, bowing and rubbing his hands. “Yes,” said the swarthy Frenchman, smiling | shutter, supported by its hinges and the holder in reply; “Monsieur thinks it unsafe to pass I which kept it baok against the stone wall.

Ah l no; Monsieur will stay all night, as will his friend. Is it not so ?” I hesitated for a moment, and then my deci sion was taken. I would stay; for I should be as safe, I thought, in a room to myself, os being dogged through tho dark streets, ot whose courso I was almost ignorant. And besides, I was young and strong, and could remain on my guard for the rest of the night. It would not be so very long now till morning. “Yes,” I said, with an effort, for my mouth felt hot and dry, and a lump seemed to rise in my throat; “get me a room ready, and help my friend to it.” felt it giving way beneath me; but taking an other step I threw up one hand, as with a spas modic effort I drew up my body in what I knew to be my last struggle for life; and that hand rested npon the parapet; the next instant my other hand was by its side; my feet aided me again for an instant, and then, with a sharp craok, the shutter gave way, hnng to my feet for a few minutes, when, as I kicked them free and clung there, I heard it fall, after what seemed a lifetime of horror, upon the pavement below. The effect of that crash below was almost sufficient to make me relax my hold, so strange ly did it jar upon my nerves; bat my fingers seemed to grow, as it were, into the stone, and I hung at the full stretch of my muscles, mo- “Bnt we havo no double rooms, Monsieur,” i tionless for a few moments, when, forcing my- said the swarthy Frenchman; “yonr friend shall; self by pure mental effort to think of my duty have a room to himself, and he will be well by morning; he would take rather too much cham pagne. But it is light, and will soon pass off. Here, Jean, Francois, assist this gentleman to the blue room; give Monsieur, here, the yellow chamber. Bat Monsieur will not retire yet? He would like a slight refreshment ? is it not so?” I made no opposition to our being separated, for I could not, after all, think that anything wrong would befall Rivets, penniless and with out jewelry as he was; but I steadily refused to partake of any repast, dreading that I might be inveigled into taking something more potent than wine—such a draaught, in fact, as I felt sore must have been given to my friend and asking for a chamber candlestick, I myself su perintended the removal of Rivers to a bed to fight to the last, I began to draw myself up, rising slowly till my chin was upon the parapet edge, but with the weight of the money seem ing to drag me down; then one hand was readi ed forward, to get a better hold, the other fol lowed, and I hardly knew how, but in a battle of mind, muscle and weight, I straggled up, my feet just lending a slight aid as they found a crevice between the stone courses, and then I was lying panting in the gutter, feeling that I had used every atom of vital power in the ef forts of those few minutes. Fortunately for me, there conld have been no moans of exit by trap or door on to the roof; and after lying where I was for a few minutes, I crawled along for some distance, going foot by foot cautiously, for fear of falling; and then, once more completely exhausted, I lay, that I chamber before seeking my own, one far np on j should have been at the mercy of a child, the fourth floor.

Such flattering unction could not he received, and I was fain to confess that, trem bling and anxious—nay in deadly fear—I was I stood for a few minutes thoughtful and pon dering. Should I let that go with the others or not? Why should I refrain? I asked myself bitterly; my folly conld be no greater; and, almost passionately, I threw it down, half turn ing, at the same time, to leave the table, and hurry from tbe house. “ Won, by Jove!” a voice whispered in my ear, and I was once more in fnnds to carry on the warfare or to leave, whichever I liked. I was about to pnrsue the latter conrse, when a half contemptuous glance from the Frenchman’s eye tamed mo back, and I staked again and again; doubled my stake, and won again; again doubled atjd won; so -that, in the conrse of a few minutes, I bad piled np a goodly heap of five-franc pieces before me. “Give this gentleman some wine,” the French man said, in a low tone, to a waiter, and a glass was banded to me, bat, impatiently motioning the man aside, I plunged, as it were, into the overpowering excitement of the play, winning constantly, and with a feeling as of some wild fever thrilling tbrongh my veins. Twice over I believe that Rivers eagerly beg ged of me to leave, bat I refused, and played on, although at the time there was a strange de sire upon me to leave off and carry away my ill-gotten gains. Every stake I laid down was successful, and in a short time I found that the greater part of the occupants of the room were now watching my success with as much eager ness as they had previously gazed upon my companion. Once I stopped as if to take breath, and in the brief moments which ensued I seemed to look upon the probable result—the glittering heap gradually melting away, and taking with it my last shilling; and yet I conld not restrain myself, but played on again still winning, with an insatiate thirst for more of the wild excite ment ever growing npon me. Still I won; till trembling for my gains, I began to thrust the coins into different pockets, lessening the heap as much as I conld before A “fiacre” bore me to my hotel; and npon reaching my room, to my great snrprise, I was followed thereby Rivers, pale and ill, and con fused of intellect.

I had but to 1 jok under tbe bed and my examination was nearly at an end. No cupboards—no place whore an enemy could be concealed—no second left by the early train that morning. And now what were we to do ? To place onr case in the hands of the police, or to make our means of egress. I I went to the window and threw it open to look down npon a long, dark, deserted street at an immense distance below me; and I shudder ed as I thought of the consequence of a fall. There were tho usual Venetian shutters on either 6ide, fastened back, and a light appeared here and there in some of the houses opposite, while above my bead the stars peered down from the soft summer night’s sky. Leaving tho window partly open to admit the cool, gentle breeze, I now turned my attention to the door, to find that there wa3 a lock bnt no key. Thero was, however, a large bolt at the top of the door, which I slipped easily into its way hence to London, the richer by nearly two thousand pounds? For my part, I felt nervous and unsafe; and finding my friend willing, af ter packing my spoil in a little valise, fearing to place it in the hands of a banker, though al most afraid of the money itself, we started for the railway station, glad to be on the way homeward There was a little crowding during the get ting of tickets, and for a moment I, my friend and our luggage were separated. When we met again the valise was gone. Once more there arose the question, should we refer onr ease to the police, or hnrry home ? Perhaps we were wise, perhaps foolish. Judge you who read. We felt strange, unnerved, and Foreign Notes. PBEPXBED POB THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. Dispatches from various parts of France seem to indicate that the Paris government is grow ing unpopular. There have been anti-govern mental demonstrations in Marseilles, and in surrectionary movements in Lyons are said to have been suppressed by the forco of arms. The Red Republicans oonsider the policy of the authorities to be too timid, while the more delib erate classes, the boorgeoise especially, blamethe government for not putting a stop to the ex treme tendencies of the ultra party. We ven ture to assert that with the masses of the French people the Republic has never been very popular. . The workingmen in the large cities will expect from a Republican government a remedy of all evils resulting from poverty. Hence their ideas of a Republic are rattier con fused and strongly tinged with socialistic prin ciples. Division of the soil, the doctrine that ev ery Frenchman is entitled to receive an amount of wages in proportion to his wants, and simi lar wild, dreamy schemes, have always been the characteristic features of all French Republican movements. The well-to-do classes, being nec essarily opposed to such 'principles, this ques tion has ever divided France iato two hostile camps. The first and second Republic has proved a failure; the third, after a brief, ephe meral existenoe, will be recorded by history as only another vain attempt of self-government in France. The correspondent of the Boston Post has furnished an elaborate account, stating that the German Uhlans were not regular soldiers, but enlisted only in times of war to live, like hyenas, on spoils and plunder. Either that gentleman is lamentably ignorant or he does not shrink from manufacturing base falsehoods, calculated to fill the whole civilized world with a deep prejudice against the German race. There are no irregular troops in the German armies. The Uhlans are as regular soldiers as the infantry or artillery. The Prussian horsemen are divid ed into light and heavy cavalry, the dragoons and hussars belonging to the former, the Uhlans and cuirassiers to tho latter branch. There is a state of anarchy prevailing in France. In the departments occnpied by the invaders, the French authorities have been in vited to retain their offices trader the superin tendence of the Germans. The greater part, however, have declined to do so, from fear of any evil consequences in the future, after the departure of the hostile armies. The tribunal in Nancy, not knowing in whose name to pronounce sentence, has even stopped its sittings for eivil cases. Napoleon being a prisoner of war, the Court declined to pass judgment “Aw nom de VEmpereur." The form li Aunom delaBcpuhlique Francaise’’ was objected to by the Governor-General of Lor raine, Prussia not having recognized yet the French Republic. “Aw nom du peuple Fran- eais,” suggested by the President of the Court, did, on the other hand, not find favor with the Prussian authorities which proposed the phrase “Aw nom de la loi.” The Court having re jected this expression again, Thetis, the stern goddess, is slumbering now, and evil-disposed debtors are safe from the clutches.of the law. Many German, papers are of opinion that the mails>. which are said to arrive by balloon in Tours from Paris, are ' merely a feint of the French to cover existing underground commu nications between both cities. They argue that on account of the winds, prevailing for the last few weeks, all balloons would fid! into the hands of the Germans. Those captured and filled with pretended brilliant private descrip tions of the state of Paris should impress the enemy with the. indomitable energy of the Cap ital. This latter correspondence is also believed to be composed of bogus letters. As we had predicted, the Russian Govern ment has made a demand that the Paris treaty of peace of 1855 should be revised, viz: that the restrictions imposed npon Rnssia in the Black Sea shonld be annulled. We wonder what course England, which is chiefly concern ed in this business, is going to pnrsue. Raspail, the French Republican deputy, has made a stirring speech to his constituents, call ing upon them “to chase those hordes of bar barians from the sacred soil of France.” “Let ,us rise en masse,” he said,- “against these men of blood; would that the lost vestige of such a race and the trace of all kings be gone before I die; they are all formed of the same clay. Death to royalty—contempt anji pity npon the kings! Old men, women and children, let ns march by the side of onr brave soldiers; we can die only once, but never more honorably.” The war has worked a revolution in the em pire of fashion, and Paris has ceased to holdun-. disputed sway over both hemispheres. In Germany, at least, a desirable reaction has set in to emancipate one’s self from “Les modes de Paris,” whioh, with contemptible servility have been adopted everywhere, no matter how ludicrous sometimes they used to he.

The Belgian journal “Echo du Parlement” reminds its Brussels cotempoiarieB which de nounce the Germans as “barbarians” for levy ing war-contribntions in France, that, when the French occupied Belgium after the battle of Fleurus, in 1794, they not only demanded, and obtained enormous requisitions of provisions and clothing, bnt they also imposed npon the impoverished country a contribution of eighty millions of francs, of which five millions were to be paid by Brassells within twenty-four hoars. With great exertions the unfortunate city raised half a million in two days. The Republican conquerors, who had proclaimed the fraternity of nations, then proceeded in a manner lament ably lacking fraternity, by throwing 152 citi zens into prison, where they remained 7 as hos tages, until the whole sum had been paid after two months. The French press are rivaling some of their American coletnporaries in the publication of wonderful reports. “ The Journal de Macon ” lately treated ite readers to a report, stating that Berlin had been burnt by forty thousand men belonging to the French fleet, aided by the French prisoners of war in Germany. The “Frankfurter Naohriohten” announces that the civil authorities of Frankfort-on-the- Maine have been requested by the Government to furnish & list of antiquities, piotures or statues, and other valuable objects, whioh were, carried away from Frankfort by the French, at the end of the last and beginning of the pres ent century.
