are the homes, the dear old homes.
homes as they used to be,
3th the frugal wives, and their busy lives,
.A* they sang right merrily,
izi_*be:r apron check and kerchief J neck,
1 ill the distaff of flax was spun.
Then hearty with mirth, round the blazing hearth.
They woke the spirit of fun?
Where the old w* h-dog with his lazy jog,
The cushion? aouser his foe,
And Uncle Tim. with his gouty limb,
And bis beautiful locks of show.
Then the Christmas “crack” from Santa’s pack,
The “ bon-bons” beyond compare
The “hide and seek” and the “blindfold” free.k.
Aye! the strut of the wee one there?
Where the oaken floor aud the quaiut-latcbed door,
That ope'd to let virtue in.
While health's fresh cheek hid he; blushes meek,
And fashion owned modestv kin.
When the Blessed Book knew iu honored nook.
Its power and authority’s swav,
When the “curtesy” low and the grief bent “bow”
Were reverence’s primitive way ?
When white bands lent, to the garmeuf'’ rent,
A beauty unknown before:
And the honest glance ne’er looked askance,
When a creditor passed the door;
When the pattering rain rang the miniature pane,
Or tuneful on roof, as it fell,
Like tones afar, from a sweet guitar,
Or chimes from some feiry bell.
When the sweet sight of a holy light
Shone clear from the love-lit eye,
Aud friendship’s band and cordial hand
Were precious in days gone by;
0, the key to the homes.
The homes as they used to be.
For which we mourn, and hopelessly yearn.
Is but virtue’s simplicity.
From I.ittell’s Living Age.
To EUeu.
” PLACESS UXOR.”
There a not a tint ol sober gray.
Now mingling with thy hair;
1 have not welcomed, dav bv d..v,
As some new beauty there.
There’s not a line, though marked it be.
Upon thy brow imprest.
That makes it not more fair w me,
Thau when iu smoothnessdrest.
There’a not a hue has left thy cheek,
That I would now restore;
For though of love its glow would speak,
its paleness tells ot more.
There’s not a ray, however bright.
Once worshipped in thine eyes,
Has not become a holy light,
To point to purer skies.
There's not a smile, how sought soe’t-4
Thy gracious smiles have been:
Bo prized as is the answering tear
lu their soft lashes seen.
Nor yet a breath—not e’en the vow.
That made thee wholly mine,
S bless’d as accents trembling now
From those dear lips of thine.
Thus time on these loved objects flings.
As substance melts away,
k moral ham from hia wings
To beautify decay.
ADd thus the rose, in noontide bloom,
Adorns the gay parterre;
And fading yields its sweet perfume
T'o scent the evening air.

Obituary.
MADAME SILYIB DE GRAMS, ALEXANDRINE DC PAU.
Madame De Pau died on the sth itnt., in the 32d rear
ot her age. at hei residence, No. 2 De Pau row. “Her
funeral which took place at two o’clock in the afternoon,
Was attended by her numerous relatives and a large
number of Irituds. The ceremonies were celebrated in
ot. Anne’s Church, Eighth-street, bv the Rev. Dr.
Forbes, who pronounced* glowing eulogv on the char
acter of the deceased. In accordance with the rites of
the Catholic Church, of which Madame du Pau had,
during her long and eventful life, been a devoted mem
ber, the sacrament of the Mass was celebrated in addi
tion to the usual prayers for the dead. At the conclu
sion of these ceremonies, the remains were conveyed to
Calvary Cemetery, aud there deposited beside those ot
her husband, who died > 1*35 ; a t h e „j xtv .
third year ot bis age. On the coffin -“as the following
inscription:
StLviE De Grasse
Alsxanobinr Db Pac.
Born
iu Paris, 1773.
Died
iu New York, January 0,1835.
Madame De Pau was the youngest of the six daugh
ter* of Count De Grasse, whose etfecrive service in the
war for our national independence should never cease
to be regarded with the most grateful feelings. The
Count commanded the French fleet, but independent of
this he contributed one hundred thousand dollars,
which he obtained from the sale of his patrimonial es
tate of Tilly, towards the maintenance ot the cause in
which he bad enlisted. The De Grasse family were
among the oldest and moat aristocratic in France, trac
ing their pedigree as tar back as the eighth century,
aud were allowed privileges at court which were enjoy
ed by few, if any, of the French nobility. The Count,
himself, was permitted to enter the preseuce of royalty
with his head covered, aud had the flew it lit amoDg
his armc-rial bearings.
The Count de Grasse arrived at a most opportune
moment during our revolutionary struggle, fie sailed
from France about the end of March, 17sl, wild a pow
erful fleet, consisting of twenty-six ships of the liuc,
.*ud followed by an immense convoy of two or threo
hundred merchantmen. After a moat success! ul senes
of manoeuvres, iu which he several times outwitted the
Faglish Admirals Rodney and Hood, he blocked up
.Lmes and York rivers so as to cut off Cornwallis’
retreat, and landed three thousand French troops, which
joined those under the command of lakfavette, tnetc-ws-
Uig the French force to seven thousand. ’ We need uot
recapitulate what followed, as it is known to every one
acquainted with the history of our Revolution. Asa
return for the signal service which he had rendered,
and the active part he took in the war, the Count de
Gr&ottc was presented with tour pieces of bras* caunou, j
with their caissons, Ac. He was also rewarded bv his
sovereign, Louis A VI, who conferred upon him several
titles, as a mark of his favor, lor the successful manner !
U> w hich he perfumed the important mission upon which
be had been sent to this country.
Duriug the Revolution of 1789, which led to the al
most total extinction of the Freuch aristocracy, the De
Giusse family were forced to fly from Parts to esca|>e
the fate which threatened all of noble birth. Madame
Do Pau was secreted in a barrel, and in this conceal
ment eluded the search, which was never relaxed dur
ing the reign of terror, for everv one of noble birth.
W bile in Pans she saw the head of the Princess dc
Lambaile, carried on the point of a pole after her execu
tion at the guillotine. In company with her throe
sisters, Madame De Pau, who was at* that time unmar
ried, escaped Iron. Paris to Havre, were tbev embarked
for the L nited States. On their arrival at Boston ibev
were received with marked distinction bv General Dei
by. and General Hamilton and Aaron Hun used their
influence with Congress in obtaining for them a pen
sion of on thousand dollars a vear each, for four t ears.
After a brief residence in Huston, Madatne De Pau
went to Charleston, were she married Mr. De Pau, also
a nativ of Fnince, but who had long been a resident of
that Mr. De Pau had, by his mercantile abilities,
accumulated a large fortune, and was the first to estab
lish a packets between New Yrk and Havre.
After the death of her husband, Madame de Pau con
tinued reside in this city, and up to the dav ot her
deald continued to wear the widow’s mourning dress.
She was noted in private for her numerous aud unos
tentatious acts of charity, and was beloved by a large
circle of friends. The unique and handsome block ot
buildings which she erected some years ago, iu Rlecker
! street, acd which bear her name, is only a portion of a
or tune of acme four or five huudred thousand dollars
which she has bequeathed to her children. She has
left tour daughters and one son, another having died
Uat July, in Philadelphia, iu the fitty-tifib year ol hie
age. The following are the names of the surviving
Children Mrs. T. O. Fowler, Mrs. Samuel W. Fox,
Mrs. U. W. Livingston, Mrs. Mortimer Livingston,
Mrs. Washington Coator, and Mr. De Pau.

A ONE Roast NOVEL.
Violetta atarted convulsively, and turned her fear
drenched eyes wildly upon the speaker, for to her there
teemed something straugely familiar in those low rich
tones. Their eyes met; his beaming with joy sod ten

“Violetta!”
“Allendorf!”
And the beautiful girl sunk from excess of joy, upon
his noble heart, throbbing with pure, holy, delicious
love of other days. Allendorf bent tenderly over her,
and bathed her pure, white temples with the gushing
tears of deep subdued joy.

A Beautiful Story,
Tbe most beua'.ful and affecting incident I know, as- >
sociated with a shipwreck, is th- fofbwing:
she Grosvenor, mu East ludiaman homeward bound, i
goes ashore on the coa-t of Uaffraria. It is resolved j
that the officers, passengers, and crew, in number one
hundred &nu thirty-file souls, -hail endeavor to pene
trate on toot, across trackless deserts infested by ‘ wild
beasts and cruel savages, to the Dutch settlements at
the Cape ot Good Hop -. With this forlorn object be
fore them they hnaiiv sepurme iuto two pirtica, never
more to meet on earth.
I nere is slita*y cl. ’*l among the pas-reigers, a
•ittle boy of seven years <ld, who has no relation there ;
| :i0 't when the first party is moving awav be cries after
.some member ot it who has been kind to him. The
1 ’ a child might b-.- supposed to be a little thing
( to men in such great extremity ; but it touches them,
and he is immediately taken into that detachment; from
which time forth this child is sublimely made a sacred
charge. lie i- pushed ou a little raft across broad riv
ers by the swimming -allots ; they carry him by turns
through the ucep sand aud long grass, he patiently
walkiug ut .all other times ; ihev share with him such
putrid fish to. they tied to eat; they lie down and wait
for b’.nj when the rough carp-enter, who becomes his
reqiecial friend, lags behind, lit ret by lions and tigers,
. by savages, by thirst and hunger, by death in a crowd of
1 ghastly shades they never—oh, Father of all mankind,
’ thy name be ble-sed for it! —forget this child. The
! tain stops exhausted, and his faithful coxswain goes
1 bai k and is s-en to -it down by his- side, and neither of
the two -hall beany more beheld until the great last
Jay ; bn;, as the rest go on fur their live* l , they take tbe
; child w .th them. ‘1 he carpenter dies of poisonous bei •
j rie* cat in starvation; and the steward, succeeding to
] the command of the party, succeeds to the sacred guurd
i Lauship of the child.
God knows all he does for the poor baby. He cheer
i fully curries him in his arms when he himself is weak
| and ill; bow he feed-bint when ho himself is griped
i with want; how he folds his ragged jacket around him,
j lavs his little warm face with a woman’s tenderness
j upon his sunburnt breast, soothes him iu his sufferings,
! sing* to him as he limps along unmindful of his own
parched and bleeding feet. Divided for a few days
! t rorn the rest, they dig a grave in the sand and burv
{ their good friend the cooper—these two companions
alone in the wilderness—and the lime comes when
they are both ill, and beg their wretched partners in
despair, reduced aud few iu number now, to wait bv
them one day. They w ait by them one day ; they wait
■by them two day s. Ou the morning of the third they
move very softly about in making their preparations
lor the resumption of their journey, for the child is
sleeping by the tin-, at and it is agreed wito one consent
‘hat he shall not be disturbed until the last moment.
I he moment comes; the lire is living; and the child is
1 dead. *
His fiithful triend. the steward, lingers but a little
; while behind him. His griet i-great. He .staggers on
lor k tew days, lies down in the wilderness, and dies.
But he shall be reunited in his immortal spirit—who
eau dotibi it with the child, w here lie and the poor
carpenter shall be raised up with the words “Insomuch
as ye have doue it unto the least of these, ve have done
1 it uuto me.’’
Home.—Here is another beautiful extract from Ike
j Marvel;
our dreams of reputation, your swift determination,
your impulsive pride, vonr deep uttered vows to win :t
name, have all sobered into affi-ction; have all blended
j into that glow ol feeding, which ‘intis its centre, and
, hope, and joy in Home. From my soul I pitv him
• whose soul does not leap at the mere utterance of that
i name.
A home! is the bright, blessed, adored phantom which
sits highest on the sunny horizon that girdeth Life!
II hen shall it cease to be a glittering da\ -dream, and
become fullv and fairly yours?
It is not the house, though that max hart? its charms,
nor the fields carefully tilled and streaked with vour
own loot paths; uor the trees, though their shadowr be
to you like that of a triant rock in a weary land; nor
vet is it the fireside, with its sweet bluzeplav; nor the
pictures which tell ot loved ones, nor the cherished
oooks—but more tar than all these—it is the Preseuce.
The Lares of your wor.-hip ate there; the altar ot your
confidence is'there; tbe end of your wordlv faith is
there; and adoring it all and sending your blood in
passionate flow, is the ecstacy of conviction, there at
l>-aat you are beloved; that there you are understood,
that there your errors will meet ex'er with gentlest for
giveness; that there your troubles will be smiled awav;
that there you may* unburden your soul, fearless of
harsh, unsyinjiathizing ears; and that there you may be
entirely aud joyluliy—yourself!
There may be those of coarse mould—and I have
seen such even in the disguise of women—who will
reckon these feelings puling sentiment. God pity them!
as they have need of pitv.
Anuhottpe Likenesses. — A most valuable improve
raeut in the art of producing likenesses has recently
been introduced by Messrs. Cutting & Bowdoin, of Bos
ton. The picture is taken upon plate-glass, after which
a similar glass is placed over it, and the tw'o are ce
mented together by an indestructabie gum, rendering
the picture entirely impervious to atmospheric influence,
and securing to it the most perfect durability, inas
much as by it the most perfect, minute and life like
delineations are produced, either in a miniature or of
mu sue, and capable of retaining a perpectual brilliancy.
The pictures are not rew a / in ', he ordinary da
guerreotyping process, and they ate immediately per
ceptible iu any light without the necessity of change of
position. Mr. Cutting, the senior partner, is the inven
tor ol this process, and patents have already been se
j cured in the United States, Great Britain and France.
It may with perfect truth be urged that this is the most
important discovery in the art of photography that has
yet been made.
A so.v or thk Great N xpoleon before Slbasto
l ‘°fo —D is “aid that General Canrobetr is believed to
be the son ot the Emperor Napoleon 1. and of Madame
de Rainey. lie passed the early portion of his life in
the enjoyment of the ease and utsoucianet which a large
fortune can bestow, and it was not until called from bis
life of dissipation to attend tipoti the dving bed of his
mother that he learned the secret of his birth. Imme
diately, notwithstanding the accession of fortune sud
denly acquired bv his mother's death, notwithstand
ing the habit of idleness and luxury he had indulged
in ever since his birth, he declared that, with such
b;->od iu hi- veins, he should scorn to remain inactive.
He instantly set out for Algiers as a volunteer in the
( ha--eurs, and has risen by slow degrees to the station
he new occupies. The moral effect of his relationship
to the great Napoleon has been immense upon the
ttoops under his command, and enabled him to obtain
an ascendency which St. A maud could never acquire.

We find the above “going the rounds.” It is no
doubt very important anu very interesting, but it lucks
—confirmation.
Fxwt Fern and hkk Brother.— lu Fanny Fern’s
new novel, Kuth receives the following letter, from her
:brother:
l have looked over the piece* you sent me, Ruth. It
is very evident that writing could never be your forte;
1 jot* have no taleut that way. You may possibly be em
ployed by some of the inferior newspapers, but be as
sured vonr articles never will be heard of out of vour
own little provincial city. For myself I have plenty of
contributors, nor do I know of any litei-arv acquaintan
ces who would employ you. I would advise you, there
fore, to seek some unobtrusive employment.
Your brother, Hyacinth Ellkt.
The New York Mirror says that the above is no fic
tion —that it is a irrbttiin copy of a letter'received by
Fanny herself front her brother.
Louis Napoleon becoming Libkkal.— The Paris
correspondent of the London 7’de.< give a circumstan
tial Pitnor prevaleut there, which, il true, is not dewtid
ol interest. The story runs that Louis Napoleou con
vok*-d an extraordinary meeting of his council, to whom
lie delivered a terse speech. “He desired to be ad
vised whether, in case the war should go on, it would
ho de-uable to introduce some modifications into the
conslituiion of the empire favorable to the liberty of the
pre-s. He wished also that the council would consider j
the same question ou the supposition of a peace being !
concluded.
The council debated the question in his presence pro
and ton, and on a dir:. sou i> vlvcd, by a majority of 9
against 5, that some alterations were desirable—that
there was something to be done. The Emperor, it is
said, listened patiently, as his wont is, to all the obser
vations that were made, and ut the end of the sitting
thanked the members ot the council for their advice,
wiihout giving any indication of Ids own opinion.
It is suggested that he may have been prompted to
this step by the advice of Lord Palmerston.
An Interesting Land Roxnvnc Case.—A caseof
quite a romantic character is now pending before the
Surrogate of New York The Tribume says:
“ It is that of the estate of Jeanne Duhtx, Ibrmerlv a
French milliner in Broadway, and more recently a
capitalist and money lender in Wildam street, who died
las’ autumn quite suddenly, though at rtn advanced age,
len ing an esiate worth no less ihan *loo,ni O, accumu
lated by avarice, lucky investments, and shrewd man
ugement.— I This large property is claimed by one Ferric,
from Cincinnati, n hair-dreaser bv trade, and apparently
above fifty years old He was brought up by Madame
Dulux us her nephew, but he now asserts that he was
her son by an early marriage, which took place amid
the ti(Mtbies of (he French Revolution of’9JJ,und which ;
she afterwards concealed. That he really is her son j
was clearly made out on the trial; bat the public ad- j
ininistrator, acting in be haifof unknown hei s, con
tends that it is not proves! that lie is her legitimate son,
born in wedlock. The evidence goes back to the Itev |
elution, and involves some complica'ed and curious I
points of Fiench law and social usages.”

Tue Emperor Napoleon.—The Parts correspondent
the New York Journal of Commerce writes as follows:.
“ Ou the 1 i ih instant, about ball-past 12 o’clock, in the
Rue de Faubourg Mr. Honore, near to the Paiaci FJysee-
Napoleon, we met the Emperor, who was on foot, and
without any particular companion: he was remarkably
well dressed a9 a single gentleman; he walked at an easy
pace, and drew no special notice, probably because he
w as known to but few of the uasseng.-rs at tbe moment.
T he French have never been Tided by une who rendered
his person so familiar to:h“ multitude. His aspect is, on
the whole, i hat of complexinnal vigor, though 1 lie cheek*
be still pdiid.”

I-yT READ HIS OW N WORDS.
To Prof. Holloway:
. ‘ 8 not my wish to become notorious, neither
is this letter written for the mere sake of writing but
to say, that your Ointmeut cured me of one of the niu-i
drcadtul cutaueous diseases that flesh is heir to at and
which was considered by all who know me, to be cm
tirely beyond the teach of medicine. For nine teats I
was afflicted with one of the most painful and trouble,
some sore legs that ever fell to the lot of man , and „t
----ter trying every medicine I had heard of, I resigned in
despair all hope of being cured; but a friend brought
me a couple of large pots of your Ointment, t\Luh
caused the sores on my legs to heal, and 1 eutirelv re
gained my health to my agreeable surprise and delight
and to the astonishment ol my friends.

Dear Sir—lt is with heartfelt gratitude I have to in

a cancerous nature.) I was fold that nothing could save

fected a perfect cure, to the astonishment of all who
knew us. We obtained your Medicine from Messrs.
At right A Cos., of Chart res-street, New Orleans. 1 .send
this from “Hotel des Princes,” Paris, although, I had
written it at New Orleans, before we finally left, at that
time, not knowing your address at New York.

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.
1 HERE has long existed a public
demand for an effective purg.ifire
■ pdl which could be relied on a-.-me
f %Mk 4 poi ie<.-tl\ safe
( 1 bus lias been prepared to li.eeilhat
demand, and an ext
■ wi,h “^ ia * success it life, lll pllslltS
jfA, ..’be pitip. se design, and. It is ta-v to
make a ph\sieal Pill, but not easy
to make the b--st of all ids -one w hich should hat e
none of the objec ions, bit! all the advantages ol even
other. This has been attempted here, and with what
success we would respectfully submit to the | uhlie de
cision. It has been unfoi lunate for the patient hither
to lLat almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious
and irritating to the bowels. This is not. Many of
them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in
the system as to more than counterbalance the gci and to
be derived from them. These pills produce no irr-ta
tion or pain, unless it arise from a previously existing
obstruction or derangement in the bowels. Beingpure*
ly vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in am
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should he
taken judiciously. Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which thev are applicable aie
given on the box. Among the complaints which have
been speedily cured by them, we may mention E ver
Complaint, in its various (onus of Jaundice. Indigestion,
Languor and Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability
Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and A ue, 1; iu
in the Side and Loins, for, in truth, all these are Lut
the consequence of disease action in the liver. As au
aperient, they afford prompt and suit relief m Costive
ness. Piles Colic, Dysentery, Humors. Scrofula ai.d
Scurvy, Colds, wish-soreness of the body, Ulcers aid
impurit* of the blood; in short, anv and every case
where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly *ico s-ful
cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Giavef J’i ysi,,,-
las, Palpitation of the Heart. Pains in the Back, --o lo
ach, and ?side. They should be treelv taken in tl
spring of the year, to purify the bloocUand ore, are the
system for the change of seasons. An occasional ri. -e
stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy ucifo’
and restores the appetite and vigor. Thev purity i e
blood, and, by their stimulant action on tbe circuliuo’v
system, renovate the strength of the bod, und iesu.it
the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose js advantageous even though
no serious derangement exists; but unnecessary dosii g
should never be carried too far, as every puieative
medicine reduces the strength, when taken'to excess.—
1 he thousand cases in which a physic is requited can
not be enumerated here, but they* suggest themselves
to the reason of every body ; and it is confidentially b<-
lieved this pill will answer a belter purpose than anv
thing which has hitherto been available to mankind.—
When their virtues are once known tbe public will no
longer doubt w hat remedy to employ wheu in need of
a cathartic medicine.
Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take, at and
being purely vegetable.no harm can arise from their
use in any quantity.

This remedy has won for itself such notoriety for its
cures of every variety of Pulmonary disease, that ii is
entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences of its vir
tues in any community where it has been employed.—
So wide is the field ot its usefulness, and so numerous
the cases of its cures, that almost every section of the
country abounds in persons publicly known, who have
been restored lrom alarming and even desperate d .y
eases ot the lungs by its use. When once tried its su
periority over every other medicine of iis kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its vims*
are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atiectitTu>
of the pulmonary organs which are incident to ur cii
mate. And not only in formidable attacks upon the
lungs, but tor the milder varieties of COEDS, CO l G Hs
HOARSENESS, Ac.; and for CHILDREN it is the plea
santest and satest medicine that can be obtained.
As it has long been it: constant use throughout tbs
section, we need not do more than assure ihe people its
quulity tS kept up to the best that it ever has been, and
