The word* of Slinkspeare start into tho mind

Guimmis Castle, as it is uovv spelt, anil Glamm* as
it is pronounced, lies in the beautiful valeiiftitrath-

very ancient; it w»a Allied in blood to the throne,
and still ranks high iu the Scottish peerage. The

of tho vnle, is a uoblo object, and is greatly visited

judged In be tiavelk-is bound to see the co*ilc: and
it proved so. I caught glimpses of this old house
nuiid its woodf as 1 weutou again, standing in a
stalely solitude well according with itsage and tra
ditionary fame, it is surrounded by n park of
one hundred and sixty acres. It is one of the must
ancient tu Scotland, and one of the finest of its ex
tent, ihiiugb n part of it bus been pulled down. It
is still, however, aline object us you approach it,
being lolly, and built iu a noble bnruuiul stvle.
with pn jeet ug lauteru-rows at the top, and *lho
f*out ciiiiiluzuued with various cunts of annsiu
•lone. It stands rather low, amid a great extent
of woods, uud must formerly have keen a desper-
a'.e solitude. The woods have witliiu the last gen
eration or two been a good deal thinned out to
p iy the euormous debts ot its possessors, the Earls
of Stinthuiore, the pieseutearl being a descend-
nut of the countess who married the notorious
tilouey Bowes, whose history, aud strange treat
uu-ut ol hi* lady, uitiy tic found iu the second vol
ume of my. Visits to Remarkable places. X believ
lie is her graudsoc.
Alter passing from Macbeth, Glummis castle re
turned to the cniwu, anil was granted to another
party, and afterwards, by Robert II, to John Lyon
wbo married the king's second daughter by Eliza
beth More, and became the fouuder of tbe family
uftitralhmore. But the estate did not descend un
disturbed iu tbe family to the present time. It
was forfeited, in 1517, by tbe young and beuut ful
Lady Glummis, who wus accused of witchcraft,
condemned, and burnt on the Castle-bill of Edin
burgh, iu the midst of a vast crowd, a victim to tiie
only witchcraft of youlh and beauty. The groat
popular iaiiie ol tbe castle, however, is derived
from the murder of Kiug Malcolm Coumore, or
Malcolm II., of which auou.
Ths approach to the castle, after passing the
lodge gntes, is through the spacious park, which
gives u line effect to tbe old fabric which stands at
the oud of a straight avenue ofbnlfa uide in length
This itvcuitc appears tu have been of lime-trees, bul
ou see, us you advance, bow much the park bus
leeu robbed of its uhi wood to pay tho enormous
debts incurred hy a late lord The fine old limes
are gone, and tlieir place is supplied by younger
ones, till you get within a few hundred yards of the
eud. II -re the full-grown, 'noble limes were not
oulv remaining, but iu full ilower. Imagine the
difference of Jute from tlieir flowering time in tbe
south. A mouth before, when 1 left London, their
blossoms were over iu that neighborhood—here,
ou the 37th of August, they were in full efflores
cence, and ditfesiug their ixlor for and wide.
Here the castle, standing on its open lawn, pre
sented itself to llie eve in all its ancieut dignity,
sry lofty, grev, nuJ impressive. The old courts
id gardens, by which it was surrounded, have
been removed—a thousand pities,—and there are
now only two low, grey turrets, aud a fence of pal
isades, stretched from one to the other, to separate
the lawn iu front of tho castle from the park.—
Witliiu this enclosure, the only object is a singular
sort ofalnue ornament, consisting of four sitting li
ons, bolding ly i es in llu-ir pawn, aud'on their heads
other stone work, terminating ia a poiut, au.l for
ming a strange sort of a pillar. Tbe low door of
tiie castle stands opeu, and os you approach, your
eye wanders over the lofty front with all its sculp
tured escutcheons, its round projecting towers aloft,
and its autique spires which surmouut some ol"
these.
Tho low door admitted mo to tho interior, where
all sceiued to be of solid stone, aud all was jdaiuly,
hut cleanly whitewashed. Here you at uuco be
come aware of the immense strength and loftiness
of tbe place. Tbe walls are in some parts fifteen
feet thick, aud tiie bright of the building is such,
that there are 143 steps in the spiral staircase,
which leads to the very top of the bouse. Tbe
steps of this staircase are laid regularly round a
boiloiv pillar, aud occupy a large tower which was
built OU purpose to receive them. It is said a hoy,
once playing at the top of the pillar, fell down feet
foremost, through the whole pmfouud cylinder to
tiie bottom, and was not iu the least hurt.
1 found tbe party which had passed me in the
can about to make the tour of the house, and a
lmly come up to me, and iu a very friendly utau-
uer, accosted mo ns Air. , the member for
tho city of Londou! I assured her that 1 had not
the honor to he that gentleman, but she did not
seem tu credit me, for she was confident that she
saw uie write uiy name • aud recollected
me quite well. She was a Luudouer, going with
some young lollies to every place iu Scotl.-iud that
their guide-book recommended, and I believe I
passed with her for a very shrewd fellow, who
woukl not be known, but still,—the representative
of Loudon !
Tho effect of being taken lor a live member of
parliament was tn me very iucuuveuieat, fur the
young ladies, mid oue in particular, were most as
siduous m {minting out everything to me, much to
my distraction, fur 1 Was obliged, out uf politeness,
to go frequently away from what I was noting
down, to observe what they thought most worthy
of attention ; nay, I was led away by tiie arm re-
peatt-dly, or gently pushed forward to see tilings
that they feared I might miss.
Well, iu such very amusiug company did X tra
verse the ancient Castle of Glummis, first up tiie
winding stone stair, to the very lop of the build
ing, and noticed the rude, old mode of ringing the
bell at the top of the castle, by a rope winch des
cended the hollow ceutral cylinder of tiie stair
case to the bottom. .
Tho bouse is but thinly furuished, aud what t*
particularly interesting, entirely with the antique
furniture*. ’ “ The room into which the visitor is
lirst ushered," say* Robert Chambers in hi* pic
ture* of Scotland, “contains a large truuk filled with

Strathmore. Tbeso consist chiefly of coats, vc*ts,
breeches, mid ladies higb-beeled shoes, all nchly
adorned with gold and silver luce, and in a state of
perfect preservation. Among those of other carls,.
i ta y be seen the clothes of the amiable and unfor
tunate Earl Charles, who was subbed accident
ally by Carucggie, of Fiuhaveu, iu a drunken broil
at Forfar, iu 1738. Along with those of his bet
ters, there are also shown the liabdimcuts of the
Fool Glam mis, who was the last of bis class iu
Scotland, and living only about seventy years ago.”
In the room called Lord Ghunmis’ room, is a
pretty good picture of Christ replying to the ques
tion regarding Ca*sar’s Tribute, the artist unknown.
In the room iu which Malcolm was murdered,
oral least died, the ceiling is of stucco in com
partments, with the crown, the lion, nud the ini
tials of Kiug Malcolm ; aud ou the fire-place, the
escutcheon of the royal arms. The bed isuf crim
son velvet emblazoned with the royal arms. 1 he
walls here nre fifteen feet thick.
The tradition of the murder is, that Malcolm was
atUickcd by nsssassin* on tbe Hunter’s llill, winch
overlooks Glam mid, and making his escipe then*,
was again encountered in ibo park at a spot inclu
ded now in the minister’s garden. At. both of
tlu-f places there are antique obelisks, carved^
will/ h.eroehyphicnl iigu. es of animals, etc., sup-*>
need to commemorate the event. It would ap
pear that the assassins followed him mto tbo very
cartle which they plundered, and m the armoury
tliev still show you a sworel said to be the km 0 s,
and various briren dishes, and » Roman esmp-
keltle, which were found iu dealing tbe neighbor
ing lake, into which they had been thrown by the
ins iu their flight, or had fallen out of their
bauds there, and haJ lain iu the water above 700
years.
They ttsed to show you the stains of blood on
the floor iu the good old way, though the floor has
been three time* renewed since the event; but the
present huusekee{ier is too modernized for that,
uud says, -‘lhcse were old ghost-stories," and that
the original floor wai of stoue. There is also a
tradition that the famous “Earl Beanlie," of whom
there is a portrait at Abbotsford, tho Earl of Craw
ford, famous for his rebellion against Juntos 11.. of
Scotland, and |>opularly known as tho “wicked
jail," was playiug at cords in the castle, and be-
iut warned to give over, ns he was losing dread-
fully, swore an oath that he would play till the
day of judgmeut; whereupou the devil "suddenly
mule b:s appearance, aud disappeared with old
Beanlie and all his company. The room has nev-
erjieeu found again, but the people believe firm
ly that old Ueo7die aud his couipauy are playing
ou, aud will play till the day of judgment; and ou
stormy nights they are* heard stamping and uwear
ing iu their rage over their play.
Xu the armoury, amongst various old arms, they
•Low you a swanl called that of Macbeth, aud the
shirt of mail which he wore after his criminal as
cension of tho throne, as well as the armour of the
Earl of Strathmore, who fell fighting for the Che
valier at tbberiti'-Muir.
-The main-room of the house, however, is the di
mug hall. This ho* a vaulted roof, also stuccoed,
aud divided into compartments, filled with the
brads of kings, the thistles, fleur-de-lis, lions, etc.
The lusutel-picce is oue of those old stuccoed af-
tairs of the date of tbe older Hard wick-hall, hut
uot half so old as this castle itself, with a huge fig
ure on each side, naked to tho waist, nud theu cas
ed iu u square pilaster. Iu tbit room are mauy
valuable puiuliugs, a* well as some very curious
oues. There is at tho bead of the room a large
family piece cousiatiug of a geutleuian iu a close
antique dress sitting; a young man standing he-
hiud him, and two Ooys of diUereut ages before
him, each wTih a dog, the younger one’s a lovely
Indian greyhound. Behind the group appears the
view uf the castle in its full aud ancient extent, iu
llie midst of iu courts. This is a very curious old
fuuuliug, aud uo doubt coutuius a curious family
lislury; but we could learn nothing of it.
Amongst the pictures, besides family one*, are
those of several of the Scottish kings. There are
also portraits of the Eurl of Lmuienlsle, a grim-
looking fellow, well cut out lor a persecutor;
Lords Ormond, Middleton, and Dundee, of the
some era, ibat of Charles II. There is a vety fine
Kiiqrait ofa Countess of Cassillis mid Jobuuy Fan,
>olh in gipsy habits, aud referring to a common
gipsy love story. Tbe couutess, whose portrait is
said to be by Vandyke, must certainly have been
a woman with a history. The expression of the
countenance indicates great will and little can-
science, but it is a master-piece of painting.—
There is a portrait shown as Claverhouse, a tine
looklug fellow, with brotvu flovviug locks, but still
very different to the portrait at Abbotsford, nud to
Scott's description. I fancy that the housekeeper
•hows the wrong one, hanging below this, is the
the right oue. Iu the drawiug.roout, she showed
Charles II., with Nell Gwyuue ou the oue side,
and the Duchess of Clcvelaud, if l recollect right,
ou tho other, as Bloody Mary, (poor Nell Gwyuue,)
aud the Countess of Chesterfield. I was obliged
to set ber right, and she said they had been the
subject of great dispute with many gentlemen,
and that that very day, Sir J amea Deau l’aull, a
Loudon huuker, uud trustee to the estate, hud been
questioning with some geullemeu about the iden
tity of these laities. There need be uo question,
they are pictures too well known. Nell Gwyuue
is follow to the oue at Abbotsford, and a very
beautiful thing.
This drawing room they were just fitting up
with tapestry that ho* been iu the house for cett-
turics Besides these things, there ore old chairs,
and cnbiuets, and the like, said to belong to King
Malcolm, and such aucit-nls, hut probably many uf
these ascriptions are apdcbrypbul. There is an
old bed, said to have been occupied oue uiglit by
l’riuce Charlie, uud the following oue by the Duke
of Cumberland, iu pursuit of him. But the house
itself, its general air aud associations, aro the most
impressive aud curious.
The chapel ia a curious relic of the papal times,
so rare iu Eughuid. Except for the work of time,
it remains much as it was left at the Reformation.
It is divided iuto singularly strong old latticed
seats, or pew*. The apostles are painted ou the
walls, and azouud the ceiliug are square com|iurt-
tueuts, each containing u painting from the life of
Christ. Bul oue of the must singular tilings to be
teeu anywhere, is u representation of tho Divinity,
couristiug ofa triangle having a circle iueach cor
ner, uud another iu die ceutre, inscribed with the
word Deus, with lines cetumunicatiug with each,
aud connecting the whole iuto oue general myste
ry. This hung iu oue curuer, over uu ulnir. Be
sides these, there are voriuus other attributes uf a
Catholic chapel, aud tbe .tatters of the chnplaiu-'s
gown, which has uever beeu removed trout the
chapel, since bo last took it off".
The view from tbo east is vast and noble. Ou
the uurlh rear the wild Grampiaus; westward you
are said to see as fur as Stirliug; aud amongst other
objects was poiuted out the hill of Duusinuiitie,
which shuw* iu greuu aud flat top between other

the Macgregors, in ihu absence uf ber hnsbaud,

tiuch is Glummis Castle. Around it lie many
places ol interest, but nuue of greater than itself,
mid you may imagine that tlusold haunt of royal
murder aud other Iradilioi is au swful place to the
common people. Few of these that I couverscd
with ill the ueighhorhool hod ever ventured to
visit, or eveu to outer its old parkaud embosoming
wood*.
Yet perhaps the most siuzular thing of all is the
abrupt ni.iuoeriu which line active aud unceremo
nious tide of moderu progress Iris dashed itself
up to the very park walls of this old pluce. Close
behind this wall, at wilbiu less than a quarter of a
mile front the castle itself, is a railway stntiou.—
This is tbe Dundee aud Nevrtyle railway, the uld-
cat of all speculations, ami ot all railways It runs
from Duutiee to this park side, leu miles or so, aud
ends here, that is. nowhere, and* in nothing. It
sets out by mounting tho highest hill above the
town to get to the level, they tell you, but you
never find any level at all, for you are coustautiy
reminded of tbe old uursery rhyme,—“here we go
up, up, up; aud here we go dowu. down, down,
O !” They drag you up the steep hill at Dundee,
by means uf a stationary engine. You go ou, aud
find uo place that it goes to, except a very small
hamlet called Newiyle. Iu this short course it
has four steep itn liued plane*, where you are drag
ged up or let down by ropes aad stationary en

rais, a horse conveys the train of one carriage—for,
ofcourse, engine at the top of the Newiyle iucliu-

So, iu the wood at the back ol Glummis park I
found about holf-a-doxeu passengers waiting for the
IraiM, sitting in very Arcadian style ou some green
knolls under some fiuo larch trees. They were
hoping for. rather thuu expecting the carriage, for
they said it sometime* diu not think it worth while
to come! So here we sate, and I chatted with the
couutry people, tho hoping to-be passengers, and
we because vety merry. We talked of the habits
and food ol the jieasaulry, and I told them of hav
ing once made my breaUfost off'their oatmeal por-
ridW, and slept all day after it. This sent them
into fitsof laughter. They said they should be
prettily offif that were the case with them, and
(hey mu it then eat it only at supper. We also
congratulated ourselves ou their betug no danger

a horse; and over this, too. they were very ntcr-
_ . Good, timple souls, sitting in a wood by way
ol'station, waitiugfor the arrival of a horse train,
that might possibly come, how easily were they
diverted. Rut this pastoral scene came to an oud.
A hurn, aud uot tbo wbistieofthe engine, announc
ed the approach of the carriage, aud presently a
dark object discovered itself ou the line, afar ou,
preceded by a white speck, which gradually grew
n it iuto a column of steam, but into a white horse.
On tho carriage, when it arrived, stood emblazon

A Wirtkb Murximo Scxsx is the Westers
Coontrt.—Tho lake had exchanged its covering
of unspotted snow, for a face of aHrk ice, that re
flected the rays of tbe rising sun, like a polish ’d
mirror. The houses were clothed iu a dress of the
same description, hut which, uwiug to its position,
shone like bright steel; while the enormous icicles
that were peudaut from every roof, caught tho bril
liant light, apparently throwing it from one to the
other, as each glittered on tbe sale next to tbelnmi-
uary, with a golden lustre that melted away, ou its
opposite, iuto the dusky shades of a back ground.
But it was the njipearauce of the boundless forests
tli.it covered tbe hills, as they ruseiu the distance,
one over tbe other, that most attracted the gaze of
tho spectator. Tho huge branches of the pines
and hemlocks, on the western mountains, bent with
the weight of tho ice that they supplied, while
tliere summits rose above tbo swelling tops of the
oaks, beeches and maples, likespiresof burnished
silver issuing from dcuics of the same material.—
The limits ot tbe view in this direction were marked
by uu uuduiatmg outliue of bright light,as if, revers
ing tbe order of nature, uutnberless suns might mo-
incutarliy he expected to heave above the western
horiaou. In tbe fore ground of the picture, along
the shores of the lake, aad near to the village., each
tree seemed studded with d::*iouds, that emitted
their duuchig rays, as the branches waved gently
under ths impulse of the wind. Even tho sides of
tho mountain* whore the rays of ths sun cuuld not
yet fall, were decorated with a glassy coat, that
presented every gradation of hriliiauey, from tho
liist touch of the luminary to the dark foliage of
the hemlock, as it glistened through its coat of
crystal. In short, the whole view was oue scene
of quiveriug radiancy, as lake, mountains, village,
anti woods, each emitted its portion of light, tinged
with its pecnliur hue, and varied by ita position and
its magnitude.

How beautiful this night! the balmiest sigh
Which vernal zephyrs breathe iu Evening's car
Were discord to the speakiug quietude
That wraps this moveless scene. Heaven’s ebon vault,
Studded with stars unutterably bright.
Through which the moon's nuclouOed grandeur rolls,
Seems bite a cauopy which Love had spread
To curtniu the sleeping world. You grauite lulls.
Robed iu a garment of untrodden snow;
Yon darksome rocks, whence icicles depend.
So stainless, that their white and glittering spires
Tinge uot the tnnou's pore beam; you castiod steep,
Whose banner haugeth o'er the time-worn tower
So idly, that rapt laucy deemeth it
A metaphor of peace—all lonn a scene
Where musing solitude might love to lift
Her soul above this sphere of carthinevs;
W here silence undisturbed might watch alqne.
So ccld, so bright, so still!
Tbe orb of day.
In southern climes, o’er ocean's wavelcss field
Biuks sweetly smiling; not the fuuitcst breath
•Steals o'er tbe unruffled deep; the clouds of eve
Reflect unmoved the lingering beam of day;
Aud Vesper's image ou the western main
Is beautifully still. To-morrow comes;
Cloud upon cloud, in dark and deepening mass.
Rolls o'er the blackened waters; the deep roar
of distant thunder mutter* awfully;
Tempest outbids its piuions o'er the gloom
That shrouds the boiliug surge; the pitiless fiend
With allits winds and lightning tracks hi* prey;
The torn deep yawus; the vessel buds a grave*
Ucuvath its jagged gulf
’All! whence yon glare
That fires the arch of bcuveu! that dark red smoke
Bloating the silver moon? The stars are quench’d
In darkness, and the pure spangling snow
Gleams faintly through the gloom that gathers round.
Hark to that roar, whose swift and deat'ning peals
lu countless echoes through the mountains ring,
Startling pale midnight ou her starry* throne!
Now swells the intermingling din, tiie jar.
Frequent and frightful oi the bursting bomh;
The falling beam, the shriek, the groan, the shout.
The ceaseless clangor, and the rash of men
Inebriate with rage! loud aud more loud
The discord grow s; till pale Death shuts tbo scene
Aud o'er the conquer’d draws
His cold and bloody- shroud. .Of all tiie men
Whom da'ys departing beam saw blooming there.
In proud and vigorous health; of all the hearts
That heat with anxious life at suuset there.
How few survive, how few are beating now!
AU in deep silence, like the fearful culm
That slumbers in the storm's portentous pause;
Save where the frantic wail of widow’d love
Comes shuddering ou the blast; or the faint moan
With which some soul bursts from the frame of clay
Wrapt round its struggling powers.
T!i« gray morn
Dawns on the mournful scene; the sulphurous smoke
Before the icy winds slow rolls away.
And the bright beams of frost vmonung dance
Along the spangling snow. There tracks of blood.
Even to the foremost depth, and scatter’d aims,
And lifeless warriors, whose hard lineaments
Death's self could change not, mark the dreadful path
Of the outsallying victors; far behind
Black ashes note where their proud city- stood.

“AR54.VSD, THE CHILD Or THE PEOPLE."
A now play by an American author, aud tliat au
thor a lady, nud also a fair daughter of our city, is au
oveut of too much iuterest to the literary and dra
matic world to pass over in silence. Something
more than amt re pacing paragraph or praise is
due to au effort, which, while it confers great cred
it on the taleuts aud taste of the fair author, reflects
ut tbe sumo time equal honor on the couutry, nud
proves beyond doubt that, with prejier encourage
ment, as limcb good dramatic talent can be devel-
oped iu tiie uovv world its we find at the present
day in the old. Tho excellent education received
by Mrs. Aftiwatt, and all the advantages of society
and extensive accomplishments, together with au
interesting person and a good voice, rendered her
success on the stage uu easy triumph. One hull
of the prepuratoiy labor and study had been accom
plished before she made her first appearance.—
The gallant little vessel wus safely afloat at the
the moment it was launched ou tho stormy billows
of that arduous profession. But an actor and an
author, both of distinguished merit, are seldom
found blended in ono person. Mrs. Mowittt’s first
piny of “Fashion" was a mere hit at tho prevailin l
follies of tbo age, and was a light, pleasant affair,
which was entirely successful; but hor new play
of“Artimtid" is a productiou ofa higher order—of
substantial dramatic merit, as to plot, incidents and
poetry. It lias been alleged that this young and
interesting country, sj varied iu every respect, and
replete w :h so sniuy startling historical events, af
fords many interesting subjects for the drama.
As far as relates to the wars of the early settlera
and romautic adventures, this may be true; but the
old world is so full of historical events of great in
terest. that tiie best skeletons of a plot nray be de
rived from them, leaving ample scope for the po
etic talents of the author. Mrs. Mowatt has avail
ed herself of this privilege, bylayiug her scenes iu
France, aud founding her incidents ou events which
occurred during the reign of Louis XV., when that
corrupt minister tbe Dukede Richelieu controlled
the government of that country. The plot, which
is historical, coutuius many interesting events aud
positions which secure tho attention of the audience
throughout. The interest seldom Hags, aud al
though many judicious curtailments can be made,
wbicu is the case iu almost every new play, it was
beyond doubt fully successful, and made a most
favorable impression throughout; ami we do not
hesitate saying that it fully equalled, it if did not
exceed in poetic beauties, auy American play which
holds possession of tho stage. Mrs. Mowatt, us
Blanche, had of course the udvautage of writiug a
part peculiarly applicable to her age anwers—aud
this is no small advantage, for few nc tors are ever
measured for a part that sits gracefully upon them;
but Blanche is a simple maid, gay, happy and light
hearted, until placed iu positions which devclupe
her native genius aud powers; aud in both positions
Mrs. Mowatt was eminently successful. Armand,
the child of the people, is a peasant, iu love with
aud beloved by Blanche. His buiguage through
out is too elevated for his station in life; but, like
Claude Melnotte, he is ambitious of distinction,
anil, like Claude, is successful. The characters of
Louis X V. aud Richelieu aro well known.
Tho play has been well got up by the manage
ment. The dresses are elegant and characteristic
of the age, and the performers were as nearly per-
f jet as po.-siblc. Although the port of Armand is
the most difficult iu the play, the soliloquies unu
sually long and at times heavy, wemuqJo.Mr. Da-
veuport tho justice to say that he took great pains
to make the character effective. Ho had studied
it closely—commanded all the strong passages with
ease—aud gnvo evidence of very saperior tub-lit,
which, if faithfully canned out, will place him
among tho leading Americans actors of tbe dsy.—
Vra. Vernon, who played Dame Babet, has a light,
gossipping part, which she sustains with her usual
skill, as sh-* always does characters in that line.
Call beauty—that has thus
Unseen—etkerini—ineffable.
Which breathed from her pure lips ; gave to her step
It* springing bound ; to every movement lent
lu airy grace ; pervaded Ijer whole being;
Impregnated tbe air tliat kissed her robe.
And with an atmo*phor&i« purity
Encircled her!
It was her voice, whose clear
And guileless tones have never yet been broke
By sorrow’* accents—'t was hor words, so arch
E’en from their very artlessless—her form,
Uutortured in its light fragility
By court accessories of beauty’s toilet—
Her affluent tresses, flowing unprol'aned
By touch of mocking powder, which had laid
Upon their golden li-lit like fleecy clouds
Upon the sun! * » * * • »
"T was strange ; but, gazing on herface, I could
Not choose but feel that some bright sphere—unknown.
Removed from this—there must bo and there is,
Where spirits sach as tier's, (stray things ou earth,)
From earth recalled, shall (hid a kindred home.
And thus she seemed a link ’twixt me and Heaven;
Iuthe second act; Blanche’s old nurse, Babette
hints to her that the cavalier with whoni she
walked in the garden of Versailles was the king—
having previously spoken disdainfully of Armand,
the betrothed lover of Blanche :
Babette.—-What would'you say if he were the king
—tho true king, Louis Fifteenth 1 What would you
aay to that ?
Blanche.—Why,ifhe were the kiug—in truth the king—
_1 conM but say that wayward Nature played
"On shallow Fortune « moat scurvy trick !—
For to the humble artisan she gave
Tbe aspect, soul, and bearing of a king.
And left tho mere, poor, earth descended name
(That emptiest of titles when uot filled
With innate greatness) for our monarch's dower!
How different scemod the self same attributes
By each possessed!—for both were gay; and yet
The liclitness of the cavalier to me
Seamed senseless levity, while Armand’s mirth
Is the o’erflowing gladness of a heart
At ease. And both methinks, were proud—one pride
Tiie score that narrow minds inherit Irom
Still narrower; but Armand’s pride looks down
In scorn upon mean acta alone—disdains
But falsehood—spares but vice—rebels but ’gainst
Injustice and oppression, yet would claim
No merit for its virtues! "Men may bow
The kueo to royalty: but there’s a more
Euduring and more sacred bondage all
Must feel for what is letter than themselves !
And’t is that unboaght reverence Armand wins—
Wins unawares from all who know or see him !
In tbe thin! act, Armaml is seen bending over
the seuseless body of Blanche, when discovered
by the kiug. lie thus describes hi* love for her—
King.—This maiden was no kin of thine ?
Armand.— No kin!
The ties of kindred she had never known,
Nor had those softest bonds linked me to man ;
Yet father, mother, sister, brother's place.
Each in tho other's hlace had trebly flilad!
King.—You loved her then ?
Armand.— What loved I else T
The earliest pago in memory’s record held
But that young lovd! From boyhood up to vouth—
From youth to maalioo-fi—all my tenderest thoughts,
Sublimost aspirations, purest hopes.
About ber inn jo circling wove themselves,
As votaries throng around to deck their shrine!
Our very natures blended wlien we grew!
My spirit gentleness from hcr's imbibed,
And hcr's its strength and vigor cauelit from mine.
Oar childish tears upon each other's breast
Were ever shed ; our childish laughter raag
Its gleeful changes in each other’s cars;
Ana in each other's face our childishjovs
Were mirrored, magnified, and multiplied!
My love forlier became ambition’s spring.
Iuspiring me to grapple with and rise
Above my fellow meu!—and bade me seek
Renown to grace her humbleness, or jtato
That she had graced, thou const not know how well!
In tho fourth act, Blanche, after a very passion*
ate scene with her father, thus rebukes him when
he speaks sarcastically of wotnau;—
Blanche.—Oil const thou thus the name of womna
Her holy mission lightly look upon. f score.
Nor think that thy first sighs were soothed by ber?
Thy first tears kissed away by woman’s lips—
Thy first prayer taught thee at a woman's knee—
Thychildhood's blessings answer’d from woman’shaud;
Thy manhood brightened by her watching smile—
Thy age must in bar tenderness find prop—
Aud life's last murmurs may pcrchnuce burst forth.
Where they began upon a woman's breast J
Tho following passage occurs in the same act. r.f*
tet Blanche has given wav to an agony of grief on
hearing that Armand was betrothed to another.—
She recovers herself, and with a truotiag caltnnqss
utters these words—

than from town to their haciendas. The poorer,
who have no other means of transportation than a
jackass or a nude, seldom indulge iu equestrian ex-*
ploits. You will see a Mexican woman in "United

Let me not murmur at thy hiah decrees,

I know no dtithered leaflets fall to earth—
No blade of grass hursts from its sbeat ofh green—
No grain of sand rolls from the crested ware—
Unguided by that ruling Providence
That sways the universe, yet clothes toe flower,
And from oar seeming ills, with unseen bonds,
Works oat our true**, most enduring good!
Oh! then, while grass, and sand, and leaf are cared for,
How ahall a mortal doubt thy guariiauship !
Armand refuses to be ennobled by tbe king, and
rejects all rauk save that his sword nv:y win him.
The king growB incensed that his favors are uot ac
cepted with that cringing humility which he is ac
customed to receive, and Armand thus defends
himself:
King.—But wherefore wilt thou spurn
What others ss their dearest birthright prize ?
Armand.—And why, tiie trappings aud the adjuncts
With which tiie great enshroud themselves to awe[vain
A gaping multitude, should I not scorn f
Manhood, tbe universal heritage,
For them, nor a million times their worth,
1 would not halter! If ambition stirs
My restless blood.’tis but to win afsmo
The lowliest bora may seek to emulate!
I ask no monument save that which lives
Within the bosom of my fellow men!—
No epitaph, save that which love inscribes
Upon their memories! no chronicle.
Save that tho annals of my country shew*!—
Which, if I serve it, will niy name enrol
Upon the page of lionored history, where
I should be proud to sco it blazoned!

Look out, look out, there are shadows about;
The forest is douning its doublet of brown.
The willow tree sways with a gloomier flout,
Like a beautiful face with a gathering frown!
'Tis true we oil know tliat Summer must go,
That the swallow will never stay long in oar eaves.
Yet we'd rather he watching the wild rose blow.
Than the counting tbe colors of Aututnu leaven!
Look liicb, look high, there’s the laced-winged fly.
Thinking he's king of a faiiy realm.
As he swings with delight ou the gossamer tis.
That is linked 'mid the boughs of the sun tipped aim!
Alas! poor thing, the first rustle will bring
The pillars to dust, where yoar pleasure-clue weaves
And many a spirit like thins will cling
To hopes that depend upon Autumn leaves!
Look low, look low, the night-gusts blow,
And the restless forma in hectic red, *
Come whirliug and spqrtinfi wherever we go,
Li-diter in dancing, as nearer the dead!
OU! who hat not seen rare hearts, that have bssa
Painted and panting, in garb that deceives,
Dashing gaily along iu the fluttering sheen
With Despair at the core, like tho Autumn Iiaras!
Look on, look on, morn breaketh upon
Tho hedge-row boughs, in their withering hue;
Tbe distant orchard is sallow aud wau, ,
But the apple and nut gleam richly through.
Oh! well it will be if our life, like the tree.
Shall be found, when old Tune of green beauty be
reaves.
With the fruit of good works for the Planter to soa
Shining out in Truth a harvest,, through Autnma
leaves!
Merrily pours, as it sings and soars.
The Wcat wind over the laud and seas.
Till it plays iu the forest and moan* and roars.
Seeming uo longer a mirthful breeze!
So music is blest, till it meetelli abreast
That is probed hy the strain, while Memory griavs*
To think it was sung by a loved one at rest.
Then it cjinc3 like the sweet wind iu Autumn leaves.
Not in an honrarw leaf and flower
Stricken in freshness, and swept to decay;
By gentle approaches, the frost aud the ahuwer.
Make ready the sap veins for falling away!
And so is Man made to as peacefully lade,
By tlic tear that lie sheds, and the sigh that he b eaves.
For he's loosened from ea'-th by each trial-clouds
shade,
Till he's willing to go, "ha the Autumn leaves!
Look back, look Kick, and you'll find the track
Of human hearts strewn thickly o’er
With Joy's dead leaves, all dry and block.
And every year still flinging more.
.But the soil is fed, where tiie branches are shed.
For the furrow to bring forth fuller sheaves.
And so iscmr trust in the Future spread
In tbo gloom of Mortality’s Autuum leaves:
Every evil is an occasion and a teacher of reso
lution. Every disagreeable emotion is a proof
that I have been faithless to my resolutions.
An evil vanishes, if I do not ask after it. Think
ofa worse situation titan that iu which (bon art.
Not to the evil, but to myself, do I ovvo my paiu. ichalicoge the world for a fairer gan

Epictetus was uot unhappy!
Vanity, insensibility, and custom, make one
steadfast. Wherefore uot virtue still more!
Never say. if you hml not these sorrows, that
you would bear others better.
What is sixty years’ pain to eternity!
Necessity, if it cannot be altered becomes H>jig-

Most men judge so miserably, w hy would you

No one would praise you in a beggar’s frock; bo
not proud of the esteem that is given to your coat.
Look upon every day as the wholo of life, not
merely ns a section; ami enjoy tbe present without
wishing to spring on to another section that lies be

Do not seek to justify all thy actions. Value no
thing merely because it is thy own, and look not
always upon thyself.
Do not wait for extraordinary opportunities for
good ac tions, but make use of common situations.
A long continued walk ia better than a short flight.
Never act in tho heat of emotion; let reason an
