THE DEAD LETTER.
bt John O. 8axs.
And can it be? Ah, yea, I soc,
Tis thirty years and better
Since Mary Morgan aent to me
This musty, musky letter.
A pretty hand (she couldn't spell)
As any man must vote it;
And 'twas, as I remember well,
A pretty hand that wrote it!
How calmly now I view it all,
As memory backward ranges?
The talks, the walks, that I recall,
And then the?postal changes!
How well I loved her I can guess
(Since cash Is Cupid hostage)?
Just one-&nd-?ixf>cnce?nothing less?
This letter cost on pontage,
The love that wrote at such a rate,
(fly Jove: it was a steep one!)
Fire hundred notes (I calculate,)
Was certainly a deep one;
And yet it died?of slow declinePerhaps
suspicion chilled it;
Pre quite forgotten if'twas mine
Or Mary flirting killed it!
At last the f ital message came:
"My letters please return them
And yours?of course you wish the same?
I'll send them back or burn them."
Two precious fools, I must allow,
Whichever was the greater,
I wonder if I am wiser now,
Some seven lustres later?
And this alone remains! Ah, well!
These words of warm affection,
The faded ink, the pungent smell,
Are food for deep reflection,
They tell of how the heart contrives
To change with fancy's fashion,
And how a drop of musk survives
The strongest of human passion!
?Harper'I for November.
The Count de Chambord.
On the 13th of February, 1820, the
>uke de Berry, second son of the Count
' Artois, afterwards Charles X., who
as brother of Louis XVI.; had just
&nded his charming wife into her carage
at the royal entrance to the operaouse,
in Paris, and stood for a moment
> see the carriage drivsfff, when he sudenly
felt himself wounded. The Duchis,
on the point of starting, saw the deed
:>ne. In an instant she stopped the carage,
and, without waiting for the steps
?be lowered, took her husband in her
rms, while her dress became steeped in
is blood. His murderer was a man named
ouvel, a devoted Napoleonistr who had
nbibed a furious hostility against the
ourbon race, and ardently desired its exnction.
It has been alleged that there
ere special personal reasons for his anilosity
against the Duke de Berry.
Louvel was by trade a saddler, and at
ae time, employed in that capacity in
le Imperial household, and a story attined
wide circulation, after he had kill1
the Duke, that on one occasion, in
[eta, the latter was trying a saddle, and
^served: "They make better ones than
lis in England." ""Why don't you stay
lere, then?" said Louvel, when the
rince greatly irritated, struck him severi
times with a whip. But this story is
imewbat apocryphal, and the main rea>n
of the murder would seem to have
?en simply the desire to extinguish the
ice for which he had conceived so insane
hatred. He said himself that he comlenced
with the Duke as the youngest,
id would have killed all if he could.
Louvers object was not to be accomlished,
though, for that matter, it might
ave tenderd to remove one element of
iscord in France. At the time of his
rime the Duchess de Berry was enceinte,
ad in the following September she gave
irth to a boy. This son, commonly called
if ant du miracle, born under such melanloly
circumstances, was fated in his
auth to a chequered career. At his birth
3 received the title of Duke of Bordeaux,
j an acknowledgement of that city's de)tion
to the fortunes of his house; but
r I- _ 1 J _ aa J LI- i iL a.

oubles of his family recommenced; he
und himself an exile, and dropped the
ore ambitious title, assumed that of
ount de Chambord, taking his title from
mansion, whose history, as chequered
i that of his own race, had once belonged
> his ancestors, and in 1821 had been
)ught, and presented to him by his ad;rents.
From that time until recently the Count
} Chambord has been an exile. He has
iver resigned his claim to the throne,
id was supported by a small group of
en?notably the famous Berryer, the
ost prominent of his devoted adherents
of conspicuous ability; but beyond a few
tempts to stir into activity the sentient
in favor of the Bourbons which have
ways more or less existed in BrittaDy

scarcely made itself felt. Ia 1848 there
seemed a chance, but Louis Napoleon sue*
cessfully parried it, now some men think
there is another. We are not ot that opinion,
even supposing that the fusion so
much talked of lately between the Bourbon
and Orleans families could be brought
about, we do not believe that the sovereignty
of France would rest five years in
such hands as those of the Count de
Chambord. France is a country which
can henceforward be governed only by
men ot strong personal qualities. Grace,
affability, and personal accomplishments
are not the article most in demand for her
throne.
It is a thousand pities that this amiable
person should have been afficted with a
blind belief in bis regal destinies. But for
this he would probably have been one of
the happiest of men. This age has, as
Lord Macaulay once observed, been full
of warning to the ambitious, and consolation
to the drear. But Moses and the
prophets were not enough for the rich
man's brethren, and French history since
1789 is not, it appears, a cure for the
Count de Chambord's ambition, if the re
port now universally current can be relied
upon. The best friends of the Count de
Chambord are those who will succeed in
convincing him that he hasn't a chance
of a crown.
How Swedish Houses are Built in Maine.
%
"Only one framed house in all New
SwedenI" "For goodness' sake, how then
are they made?"?writes a correspondent
of the Boston Post from the Swedish Colony
in Maine. Mostly of hewn timber,
neatly dovetailed together, with partitions,
ceilings, and floors of evenly-planed cedar
plank. The dwellings erected by the State
were of round, peeled logs, laid one upon ,
another; but these the Swedes found rather
chilly and disagreeable upon the advancement
of cold weather, and improved
them by hewing both the inside and outside
walls, filling in the spaces with moss,
and then closing them up with matched
strips of cedar. A matched board ceiling
overhead was the next addition, with a
double plank, smoothly-planed floor underr~

iooii, ajuMug uieui uutu warm auu ucav,
and to present much the same appearance
as those built of hewn timber. They are
all a story and a half high, with square
pitched roofs, giving ample room for
chambers,# and in dimensions extensive
enough to admit one large general front
room, a good sized bed room, and convenient
pantry upon the ground floor.
The windows are small, with little panes
of glass, and the only outside door opens
directly into the front room. The interior
walls of nearly all the houses have been
prettily papered by the thrifty housewives,
and with the spotlessly clean floors
and ceilings look by no means unattractive.
Tables, chairs, cradles, rustic-bedsteads,
and a thousand and one useful and ornamental
articles appear on all sides, happily
constructed by Swedish diligence and
ingenuity, from curiously twisted roots
and bits of board; pretty patchwork quilts,
plump white ruffled pillows, white covered
rustic stands holding the family Bible, and
walls hun<r round with sketches from the
same, make up the neat attractive appointments
of every bedroom. From
open pantry doors gleam occasional dishes
of glass, odd china cups, antique pitcher,' 1
and heavy silver spoons; while upon the
brightly polished stoves sing merrily the
shining kettles.
?A colored man who signs himself
Thomas J. Dorsey, having been refused a
ticket to the Grand Duke's ball in Philadelphia,
has addressed a letter to Prince
Alexis, complaining of the insult which
the African race has suffered in his person, (
and criticising in no very complimentary
terms the flunkevism of the Philadelphians.

?Warwick Castle, the ancient and
splendid seat of the Earl of Warwick, in
Warwickshire, well known to travelers <
and historical students, has been irrepar- 1
ably damaged by fire, the origin of which ,
is undiscovered. The great hall, the din- (
ing hall, and other state apartments were ,
completely burned out. The destruction ,
of pictures, statuary, and other works of
art, was great and most deplorable.

How to Make Home Happy.
How often is it that we find that it ia
not well with the wife; her bright hopea
are often doomed to be blighted; the dread
thought often comes to her that the husband's
affection is growing cold; more and
more it become evident that his heart is
not in his home, and he cannot share with
her his club, his companions, yet how she
will seek to win back his heart, and will
forgive him for a thousand shghts if he
will only be her's again. I do not say
that; but I honor from my soul every woman
that does. Much has been said about
the wOridly rights belonging to woman.
Perhaps they are to come, bnt there are
rights of the home and the fireside which
should never be denied to her. She is the
queen there; let the husband yield to her;
her judgment is best in all connected with
it, and let him not too selfishly desire his
own way, or too arbitrarily demand his
legal rights. The home is especially a
school; it calls for concessions from both,
and it requires that the two shall become
one in spirit as well as in fiesh. There
are natures, it is true, which are of so uncongenial
a character that separation
finally becomes a necessity. Divorce is a
curse, and the readiness with which it
may be procured is one of the most alarming
evils of our social life. Marriage is
education; it is in the husband's power,
out of his superior strength, to supplement
the wife's deficiencies, and from her he
may obtain that refinement and purity
which is peculiarly the gift of woman.
The husband may be the sufferer, too, but
less frequently; he may miss a true sympathy
with his aims, pursuits and ambitions.
When the wife is but an ornamental appendage,
and is content to live for fashion
and vanity, indulging in petty slights and
jeaiousy, tueu n is not wen who ine nusband.
Marriage is often a rock of danger
as well as a means of happiness. Bemember
the time will soon come when the
hands are folded and yon can help each
other no more. So live that when the
parted circle meets again, and hearts and
souls are blended- once more, it shall be
well with you all.
Why are sheep the least moral of the
animals??Because they gambol in their
youth, spend much of their time on the
turf, many of them are blacklegs, and they
all get fleeced at last.
A colored preacher, in discoursing to

?"Tell that man to take off his hat in
court," said the judge, the other morning,
to an officer. The offender, who
turned out to be a lady wearing the fashionable
sailor hat, indignantly exclaimed:
"I am no man, Sirl" "Then," said his
honor, "I am no judge."
?The witty John Clark, the barrister,
who was lame, overheard a lady remark
to a friend, "That's John Clark, the lame
lawyer." Mr. Clark, who was passing
along the street, turned round, and addressing
the lady said: "No, madam, I'm
a lame man, but not a lame lawyer."
?A young married man was remarking
to some ladies that it was always the
women who ran after the men, when his
wife indignantly said, uYi know, my
dear, I never ran after you." "That may
be," he replied, "but you took mighty
good care not to get out of the way."
?A story is told of two travellers who
were assigned to the same bedroom in a
crowded hotel. Before retiring one of
them knelt down to pray, and confessed a
long catalogue of sins. On rising from his
knees he saw his fellow-traveller, valise in
hand, going out of the door, and exclaimed:
"What's the matter? What's up?"
"Oh, nothing," was the reply; "only I'm
not going to risk myself with such a scamp
as you confess yourself to be."
