rse is now his tomb to rear! 1830. Isabella of Austria. Isabella, Infanta of Parma, and consort of Joseph of Austria, predicted herown death, immediately after her marriage with the Emperor. Amidst the gayety and splendor of Vienna and Presburg, she was reserved and melancholy; she believed that Heaven had given her a view of the future, and that her child, the namesake of the great Maria Theresa, would perish with her. Her prediction was fulfilled. 'Midst the palace bowers of Hungary, imperial Presburg's pride, With the noble born and beautiful assembled at her side, She stood beneath the summer heavens, the soft wind sighing on, Stirring the green and arching boughs like dancers in the sun. The beautiful pomegranate flower, the snowy orange bloom, The lotus and the trailing vine, the rose's meek perfume, The willow crossing with its green some statue's marble hair, All that might charm the fresh young sense, or light the soul, was there!

Death finally removed the restriction.] Should you go to Centre Harbor, As haply you sometime may, Sailing up the Winnepesaukee From the hills of Alton Bay,— Into the heart of the highlands, Into the north wind free, Through the rising and vanishing islands, Over the mountain sea,— To the little hamlet lying White in its mountain fold, Asleep by the lake and dreaming A dream that is never told,— And in the Red Hill's shadow Your pilgrim home you make, Where the chambers open to sunrise, The mountains, and the lake,— If the pleasant picture wearies, As the fairest sometimes will, And the weight of the hills lies on you And the water is

Hirelings of traitors!—know ye not that men Are rousing up around ye to retrieve Our country's honor, which too long has been Debased by those for whom ye daily weave Your web of fustian; that from tongue and pen Of those who o'er our tarnished honor grieve, Of the pure-hearted and the gifted, come Hourly the tokens of your master's doom?
