Powell’s Picture for the Capitol. A gen tleman who has a good right to knowledge of the Arts, sends us the following mention of the pj ture of “De Solo discovering the Mississippi, which Powell has just finished abroad. It is thus spoken of by the Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger — “ The world owes to Mr. Cooper the immortal types of Indians on paper; it will havethe same debt for Mr. Powell on canvass. A group of three Indians in the majesty of “ undiseased mankind,” is represented ; one a young chief, the pride of the war council, erect and stern and Apollo-like, with the dark prescience of evil in his glowering eyes, upon seeing the terrible stran gers whom it is useless to resist. An old man, supported by another Indian, is offering a peace pipe to the invaders. An Indian mother, with her babe, is crouching in a wigwam. Two lovely creatures of sweet sixteen and eighteen respec tively are kneeling, making offerings of corn and Indian delicacies, as irresistibly as Eve with die fruit of Paradise. A rough-hewn cross is in the hands of the pioneers about to plant it. The river looms in to infinitude, with here and there a boat of Aborigines. Those who saw only and applauded the large cartoon, would find ihe col oring to match. When this picture is placed in the Capitol, it will be considered the chief orna ment of the place.” A Romantic Elopement. —Quite recently, says a Cincinnati paper, a “youthful, modest, loving pair” having met with opposition in their loves from a gruff’ papa, resolved to elope. The father discoved that the daughter had made an arrange ment to meet her lover at a certain place and go to Covington, on the opposite side ot the river, there to consummate their long cherished vows. — Much to his surprise the daughter requested the parent to accompany her to the very place of meet ing at four o’clock. He returned at that hour, but the bird had flown. He searched in vain for her ; knowing that she must cross at the terry, he placed himself on the watch, but found no one on board the boat but a ragged cripple, accompanied by a youthful looking personage. He allowed them to proceed, and still remained faithful to his vig ils. The shore of Kentucky reached —the crip ple and youthful looking personage threw off their disguise, called in a priest, and were married in time to return to the old gentleman before lie had forsaken his post. All was explained, pardon granted and the trio rode home together! Very Natural. —A friend of ours tells a joke of Mrs. Zabriska, altogether too good too keep.— A week after her nuptials, on a cool afternoon, she w r as riding wdtli her chosen Mr. Zabriska, in one of Bigelow’s coaches, to the Fitchburg Rail Road depot. Owing to the crowded state of the carriage the air was very close. Lady Z. bore it *as long as she could, and at last remarked, “ 1 wish we could.have a little sun and air. “ A son and heir my dear!” honestly exclaimed Mr. /. “why. I’m astonished, for I always thought you preferred a daughter. —Exchange paper. He who refuses forgiveness, breaks the bridge over which he must pass ; for all need forgiveness. “To err is human; to forgive, divine.” “ How beautiful falls From human lips that blessed word—forgive ! Thrice happy he whose heart has been so schooled In the meek lessons of humanity, That he can give it utterance; it imparts Celestial grandeur to the human soul, And maketh man an an gel. Why is it that on Emma’s cheek The lily blooms, and not the rose ? Because the rose has gone to seek A place upon her husband’s nose. There never w'as a right endeavor but it succ eeded. Patience and perseverance, we shall win at the last. We must be very suspicious of the deceptions and elements of time. It takes a good deal of time to eat or to sleep, or to earn a hun dred dollars, and a very little time to entertain a hope and an insight wffjich becomes the light of our life— daily routine makesbut little impression ; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. “ In the silent hour of inward thought, F.ver suspect and still revere thyself In loneliness of heart.” A Royal Complaint. —It is well known that the Chambers of Representatives was forced upon the present King of Prussia. At the late con ference, the Emperor of Russia was asking him about his constitution. “Ah! my dear Nick,” answered Frederick with a profound sigh, “my constitution will never be good for much as long as they compel me to keep my chamber.” Presentation of the Lahore Diamond to her Majesty. —This superb diamond, known as the Koh-er noor, and valued at £613,528, discovered among the prizes captured by the British at the victory of Lahore, is on its way to England under the charge of Major Edwards, for presentation to Her Majesty. It was formerly in the treasury of Ma harajah Duleep Singh. Fanny Forrester has another “bird” in her V Indian nest,” and at the last accounts was doing well. SNIDER, LATHROP & NEVITT. .
