Fume pablishes a new edition of Lamar- tine’s “ Histoire des Girondins."” Against this book, which so electrified the world, much has been said, and naturally onough, for M. Lamar- tine hag had an implacable enemy to his talents as historian and orator ia his reputation as a great poet. In France. one likes to discover weakness in genius, and it suffices, if a man d apla talent ininy particular diree- tion, for t ae consiuer oe of anything else. is presumed inferiority con- soles st M. de Lamartine is a great histo- rian, precisely because he is a great poet. Since when has poetry been Pera 2 stranger to history’? Since when has Homer ceased to be a great historian? The new edition of L/ Histoire des Girondins is published with lux- urious eleganoe, illustrat by portraits en- gtaved on steel—an additional proof of the valueof the book. It is certainly rare in these = Behe find books which are reread or repub- a 5 The interest in Hume, the American medium, has recently been revived by a singular inci- dent, which | will relate to you A few even- ings since, a select company of Russiars and Parisians were assombled ut Madame de la Comtesse de T.’s. The conversation was on spiritual manifestations when M. Humeentered. hen followed a serious discussion regarding the manifestations of aprrits—if it were possible to obtain from them useful service. salutary in- formation, counsel. advice, or even recompense or chastisement. M. Hume declared that these manifestations, permitted by Supreme Power, eould not be considered as frivous experience by any one ee of reason; that he had never known of a spiritual manifestation which had not produced good results; and he was con- vinced that the Supreme Power often employed such su) atural agency to punish the sins of men. ‘his assertion quieted the objections of some, but was received with credulity by many of the ew Suddenly M. Ilume arose from the couch on which he was seated and sald— _“* Mad: a Comtesse, you are expecting a visit this evening from a stranger.” “It is true,” replied Madame de T.; “ but how came you to know it?” “: It matters little—you expect him ?”” “Yes; Lord R., a young map of much merit, who arrived to-day in Paris. He has not seen any one as yet, and leaves to-morrow morning. How, then. did you know he was coming this evening ?’’ I know only he is coming; I have never seen him; I did not know his name; but it has just been revealed to me that an extraor- dinary event has recently occurred in a cha- teau belonging to his famijy—an illustration of chastisement by spirital agency. Ile hus arrived—he rings—let him relate the event.”” The door opened, and theservant announced Lord R. Madame T. presented M. Hume to Lord R., and related the previous conversation and as- sertion of the American medium. Lord R.’s tuce expressed the greatest surprise. ~- I have never related to any one,”’ he said, “* that wi I sball now tell you, on account of M. Hun curious revelation. He is right ; a strange and fearful event has recently oc- eurred in my family; but you shall judge for yourselves."’ “My elder brother had been married six years to the canghter of Lord M., when he be- came acquiin with an actress of Drury Lane Theatre—Miss E. The liaison of my brother and Miss E. being soon kuown. did him the greatest injury, and was a cause of deep grief to his wife. Blinded by his passion, my brother braved the world’s opinion, and became indifferent to his wife's sufferings ; he obliged Miss E. to leave the theatre, gave her an elegant house in London, and during the summer took her to Scotland, that he might not be separated from her. His wife died with sorrow. and in dying committed her two sons to my care. My brother’s un- happiness at this event was mingled with re- sourse, but he refused to separate himself from Misa B. A year since he was in Scotland at ebateau near Edinboro’. Miss E. was there also. One night he had adream that his wife ap —— to him. He saw her figure bending over is bed, and board her sobbing bitterly. “Why do you weep, Anna?” he asked in his dream. ** I weep, because the actress who robbed me of my husband's love, will also deprive my fate of their father’s affections,’’ replied she spirit. “You are deceived, Anna; nothing can fr my weaken the tender affection I have cbildren.”’ “Alas! you think so, but she will prove -stroager than your will; yet I am come to pro- teet you from her arts. Here is the veil I wore -on our wedding day—keep it always—it shall save you and my children from the snares of ‘hat woman''’ Saying these words she fulded the veil and placed it round my broth neck, then kissing him on the forehead, she disap- peared. Oo racy 3 the loy tears streaming over his brow and face he leaped from his bed, and naagrastaary him to assure himself he had a dreaming—but suddenly a piercing cry broke from his lips—the veil was about his neck! ‘This vision, mingled with the reality, touched his heart; he was resting against the bed. lost in thought, when Miss E. entered the room. Seeing traces of violent ayitation on bis features, she demanded the cause. ** My doar Helen,” he replied, ‘our life is eulpsble, it must chasge—tod ordains it!” fie then related the dream, and showed her the veil *: fs that ali?"’ said Helon laughing heartily “You have, indeod, lust your wite’ Do you not see that this isa trick played ou you by some member of your wife's family ?—but stay destroy at once the charm with the talis- a Ste tore the veil from his neck, ran to the fire and threw it into the dames. In the swift- ness of ber wovewents. her dress, which was very ample, displaced suddenly a large volume of air. drawing the dames out from the chimaey jato the room. A tongue of flame swept round tbe young girl, instantly enveloping her light, free robe, and, in spite of immediate suceor, se expired in the most horrible sufferings. You will remember, the journals of the day announced the fearful death of Miss FE ; but the singular history ¢onnected with the event has remained until now a secret. It is needless to add that the persons present were deeply a#lected and impressed by the story of Lord R. All Paris is at present oceu- pied with ite details. Unfortunately, | wes uot present at that soiree, but, as a faithful reporter, | repsat to you that which the Count N. bas told we, who was not only present, but has sivee hooome a faithful disciple of Mr Hume. On the twenty-seventh of January last, a poor Swiss, with his — on his back, entered the court-yard of the house occupied by Rus. sini. During a half hour the man played a ecotlection of airs taken from the repertoire of the great master. He was performing for the vecond time the serenade from the Barbier de Seville, when two persons passed out of the hougse—-a young man, with a Liond moustache, aod an aged man, whose fae head end inteli- gent face we ull know and love. It was Kus- sini himself. hey appruuched the organ. Kessini put his hand into bis pocket for a piece of muney. when he paused and asked— “My aces fellow do you know what you have Leen playing there?" “Tf Lkaow! parblen—it i of masters—the great Rossini ~ Aud the other air which preceded ?” ~ * Always Rozsini's—and all the rest are bis from the master also. To-day, you see, J do not play anything } but his music, and I will not offer to him any- | thing, playing, as I do, under bis windows, but the serenadé ‘rom the Barbier.’ “A serenade / to Rossini’ and why to-day?"* * Have you forgotten the date then' To-day is the 27th of January, the anniversary of the Rossini on bearing this reply was deeply — = Sak Eben VOL.

I, myself, bad not thought of it. You may believe me. I have had great triumphs in my life, but no one of them ever affected me more than the remem- brance of this poor fellow.”” The master took from his purse a piece of gold of one hundred franes, and gave it to the organ-player, who was overwhelmed at his sud- den fortune. Whilst Rossini pursued his way, the young man said to the Swiss— ““Itis the master himself—it is Rossini. who has given you this piece of gold!”” “Rossini !’’ exclaimed the Swiss; and run- ning after him he kissed with transport the bem of his coat, saying— . “Thanks, thanks, master; itis not a piece of gold which you have given me, bat a medal, which [ shall preserve all my life!’’ Rossini relates this incident as being his greatest triumph. Au revoir, B. 2 A Jesvit Misstonany on tam Morwons.— A Catholic Missionary of the Society of Jesvs, writing from the Flat Head Reservation in Washington Territory, under date of January 27th, says: “The whole subject of conversation here. in our hitherto quiet Mission, is about our neigh- bors, the Mormons. The misguided fanatics, completely hemmed in by the American sol- diers, and almost destitute of the necessaries of life, can neither retreat to the United States nor California. As their only chance of escape ia by our Mission, through the Fiat Head Val- ley, itis reported that they have determined to make it the route of their new exodus, and have already commenced the measures neces- sary tosecure their retreat. One hundred men are employed in building a fort near Fort Hall. They have built another at the distance of only four days journey from the St. Mary’s Mission among the Flat Heads. You see, then, that we are in considerable danger, as it is a por- tion of their creed to show no mercy to the Gentiles “* Thozo who settled among them. or in their neighborhood, have only escaped death by a hurried flight. Of the number was Mr. Grant, a formor employee of the Hudson's Bay Com- pany, who has just arrived at the Mission of St. Ignatius, with 200 head of catile. Ie was aceompanied by Mr. B. F. Ficklin, Agent for the Quartermaster of the U. 5. Army. who has come here to purchase from our Indians a sup- ply of gpod horses for the use of the army. ‘this offiter assures us that the Mormons will be soon reduced to obedience by famiue alone, which has already commenecd its frightful rav- ages among them. The great prophet, Brig- ham Young, in a recent decree. pee ordered ail the young men of fifteen years old. and the girls of twelve, to marry immediately, each boy to have at least two wives. But what caps the climax of his infamies, and creates a Toath- ing for his impure creed even among the most savage Indians, is that, in order to preserve the race of the prophet in all its secerdotal pu- réty, and to prevent a mixture with the infe- rior races of Saints, he has obliged all the mem- bers of his own family to intermarry among themselves, so that a brother takes as many as ho} pleases“of his own sisters for his wives! He loads his biinded and infatuated followers with enormous taxea—60 per cont—and by that means has amassed a princely fortune. As it is feared he will run away with his immense plunder. his people watch him closely to pre- vent his escape.” an Seren or Lutaer, py CaRLYL®.—A coarse, rugged, plebeian face it was, with great crags of cheek Lones—a wild amount of passionate energy and appetite! But in his dark eyes were floods of sorrow ; and deepest melancholy, Sweetness, and mystery. were all there. Often did there seem to meet in Luther the very op- posite poles in man’s character. He, for ex- ample. for whom Kichter had said that his words were half bullets, he, when he firat be- = to preach, suffered unheard agony. “ Ob. r. Staupitz, Dr. Staupitz,”’ said he to the vi- car general of his order, ‘‘I cannot de it, I shall die in three months. Indeed I cannot do ee Dr. Staupitz, a wise and considerate man, said upon this ** Well, Sir Martin, if you must die, you must; but remember that they need good heads up yonder too So preach, man, pie and then live or die as it happens.’” Luther preached and lived. and he beeue indeed, one great whirlwind of energy, to work without resting in this world, and also be- tore he died he wrote very many books—books in which the true man—for in the midst of all they denounced and cursed, what touches of tenderness lay. Look atthe Table Talk for example. We see in it x little bird, having alighted at sunset on the bough of the pear tree that grew in Lutber’s garden. Luther looked upon it and said: ‘ that little bird, how it covers its wings. and will sleep there, go still and fear- leas, gio over it are the infinite starry Spaces, and the great blue depths of immensity Yet it fears not—it is at home. The same (iod that made it too, is there.’’ The same gentle spirit of lyrical admiration is in other pas- sages of his book. Coming home from Leipsic in the autumn season, he breaks forth into liv- ing wonder atthe fields ofcorn. ‘How it stands there.”’ he says, * erect on its beautiful taper stem, and bending its benutiful golden head with bread in it—the bread of man sent to him another year.”’ Such thoughts as these are as littles windows, through which we gaze inte the interior of the depths of Martin Luther's soul. and see visible, across its tempests aud clouds. a whole heaven of light and love. He might have pwinted—he wight have sung— could have been beautiful like Raphael, great llke Michael Angelo. SESE. OSE ee EPA gentleman of Norfolk. Va., hada fine negro, to whom he gave the privilege of hiring himself out and keeping one half the wages. A short time since the negro came home to his master to tell him that the man for whom he had been working wished to buy him, and would give $1300 for him. “Well.’ said his master, “what of that? 1 don’t wish to sell.”” “ But you see, massa,”’ said Sam, “ I’se had a cough sometime and specs I'm gwine into desumption.
