latest or the great Italian authors, trance nas a ITintheoti, which every one who visits fraris goes to see. ; it stands on the site of a church erected by Kin?

During the French Revolution, and un til December 1831, it was known as the Pantheon, and was dedicated to the hon or of "the great men whom France rec ognizes." in tne crypt, during the rev revolution, - olution, revolution, the; remains of Voltaire and Roaseau were interred with great so solemnity, - lemnity, solemnity, but, after the return of . the Hour Don rulers, they were secretly re moved. There were also buried here (and not taken awavl the great orator. Mirabean.as Well as the infamous Marat Justly slain by Charlotte Corday, but tne remains or Dotn were nnaiiy aepan theorised by order of the national gov ernment. Westminster Abbey may be regarded as the Walhalla Santa Croce, or Panthe Pantheon - on Pantheon of England, though an attempt has been made to give that rank to St. Paul's Cathedral, iu which are to be seen : a large number of sculptured monuments, chiefly in honor of naval - and military heroes, though John Howard, the phil anthropist, (who allowed his children to starve) and Ur samnal Johnson have statues, which are generally - mistaken by strangers for St Peter and ' St Paul Dr. Johnson. Sir Joshua Reynolds, Lord Nelson, and the Duke of Wellington sleep the sleep that knows no waking under tbe root of St. Paul's. So does Sir Cristopher Wren, the architect, wnose genius is acknowledged by a Lat Latin - in Latin inscription, declaring, "If yon ask for his monument look around !" . Notwithstanding, not SU Paul's Ca thedral, but Westminster Abbey is the true Walhalla of England. The Abbey, founded by. Edward the Confessor over a thousand years: ago,( before the Roman conquest,) had received the mortal re remains - mains remains and thq honoring monuments of illustrous Britons, century after century, until now it is literally crowded with them. It is recorded of Lord Nelson. that on one occasion on crlvinr the or der of battle against inferior, odds he ex exclaimed - claimed exclaimed to one of his captains j Here goes for Westminster Abbey or 9 peer peerage!" - age!" peerage!" At this time he gained a coronet, but his remains were buried in St- Paul's, where, nearly half a century later, those of Wellington, were also placed. In this country there is no Walhalla as yet. It is not to be expected, even were it desirable, that the great departed of this Republic shall be iuterred, side by side, in some vast mausoleum r tem temple - ple temple of the dead, It the free be where bath fallen. Who would remove Waslungton, Jefferson, Jackson, or Lin coln from the places where" ' they now repose? ' But it is easy to predict, almost with the certainty of an assured fact. that, in coming time, there shall be a stately and solemn fane some noble Pantheon Worthy of the nation and ' the men in which the kindred arts of Sculpture and Painting will create memorials worthy of their fame, and proofs of our advancement in the arts which appear to - have flourished most under republican institutions. It would be well, in most instances, not to make ; such art-memorials of living meu. Pop Popularity - ularity Popularity is at once capricious and fleeting J and the honored of to-day may be scorn-, ed, without any ill-doing of his own on the morrow.' When the first Napoleon i traveled from Paris to Elba, in 1814, he j was bo much afraid of the" antipathy of j the populace in the south of 'France, that, in order to secure his personal ! safety, in one district ; where particular hostility was dreaded, he assumed the uniform of an Austrian courier, and' rode on in advance of the carriages, thus escaping recognition, the person ?who occupied uis seat in tbe cortege narrowly escaping rough treatment by some one exclaiming, "This is too big a man for ' the Corsican." Yet, only a few months earlier, Napoleon had been popular iu mat very uistnet. we nave seen, not quite two years ago, how the fickle' and violent Parisians, ou tne first misfor misfortunes - tunes misfortunes of the great man's nephew, tore down his busts and initials from the public places and insulted him vicar iously, by tearing from the Austerlitz plilar, in the Place Vendome, the stat statue - ue statue of him who had won the victory which it was erected to commemorate ! Nor is this caprice confined to France. Marlborough, once a popular idol, lived to hear himself hissed and pelted in the streets of London. . The first William Pitt, tumbled from his pedestal of pop popularity - ularity popularity the moment it was that he had accepted ; peerage. Nay, in our own time, "the Iron Duke" was assailed by a mob during the Reform-bill excite ment 01 1831, put niscooi intrepidity in influenced - fluenced influenced his assailants so powerfully that their hostility was limited to out outrageous - rageous outrageous words, and he escaped the' fate of De Witt in Holland, who was literally torn to pieees by the mob. ; The ancient Egyptians, after a man died, held an in inquisition - quisition inquisition on bis life, after sufficient time n .is ttiiuwcii lur urr uuium, uusi.iic, ur friendly, to subside, and bis place in pub public - lic public esteem fixed by the verdict thns' and then elicited aud obtained. - Where a man shall rest is not an im portant matter. Washington "sleeps well" in Mount vernon. "and it was a judicious determination that Lincoln should rest fa the soil of his well-loved Illinois. - There was not much wisdom 1 think, in disobeying the last injunctions of Charles Dickens The excellent Dean of Westminster persuaded his executors to allow him tolie laid in Poets Coi ner Westminster Abbev. . Every one receol lects What a smuggled affair that inter ment was, a3 if an concerned ,, were ashamed of it. Dickens, though born in Devonshire, was "a man of Kent." He was edncated in that county.

As his eves dwelt there stenrll. Iv. and his infrid was busy recalling all the tales he had heard af the men of this house, of wanderings up aud down at night, of cues, and groans, and ravings it seemed to him that in 4tll the long line of black-draped forms that stretched through the mirror spaces, each one was rising from his place,-, and all gathering about the one form nearest him. So real was it, that he moved, hoping to wake the housekeeper, and wrung his hands to restore the circulation of his chilled blood. or a minute he had looked awav from the object of his terror, but when it arew again nis fascinating eyes he al most cried aloud ; for dowu through that

She went to tne taDie on wnicn lay her brother's lifeless form, and without uncovering his face, leaned forward on his bosom, with her arms about him, and sobbed low and drearily. t he heart 01 the Tnan who sat there looking on was -wrung with pain and longing.

Edith looked at him wistfully, as be rose and stood before her, covered with confusion, then with a murmured word of thanks, extended her hand and laid it one instant in his.

He lifted and looked at the band where hers had rested, and seeing a tear iu ' the paltn passionately kissed It off, f uo back; Martha," her-mistress said. Don't be troubled about me-. I will go to bed now. Please go back." The woman reluctantly obeyed, and, casting one glance after the slender wni ngnre-Tnat -eituea up uie wiae stairs, returned to the parlor. The sir! reached the door ot her room. but there she hesitated, stood a moment, linally turned back, and, crossing the upper hall, went into the suite Of rooms that had been her brother's. She light-. ed the gas, and stood looking about, re recalling - calling recalling his life and death, sobbing wild ly. .Never again would his loot enter there, never again would she meet there the face that, however It might have been to others, to her had ever been lov loving - ing loving and kind. She looked at her owu palid face in the mirror where he had looked, she opened his drawers, touch ed witli loving hands his brushes, his clothes, she kissed his pillow, and laid her cheek to it for an instant. Raising her head then, she saw on the mantel piece near by a morocco case such as is used 111 traveling, to hold a Dottle or drink j At sight of that she clasped her hands, and gave a faint cry ot pain, sne had reason ; for within that case was hidden the Demon of the Yorkes, that demon that had impoverished them, and, worse yet, had been tbe source ol mis miseries - eries miseries to which poverty is a blessing. It had brought madness, despair and death, it had peopled the house with ghosts, it had wt-ung the souls and broken the hearts : of the innocent. The great grandfather of the man who lay dead down stairs bad first invited this leu spirit to his fireside,, first as a friend, forced then "to keep him a? a tyrant, and from him the bondage had been handed down. Try as they might, each mother had seen her son turn with an inherited taste, and a fascination that seemed to be irresistible, to the destroyer, and against its power, prayers and tears had fought in vain. The victim was, or fancied himself to be, powerless. He stood on the borders of a strange, enchanted world which he was born with eyes to see ; and though he knew that terror and ruin lurked unde the flowers, he yet stretched out his hands to gather them, impelled, it would seem, by an irresisti ble fate. No woman of the family had ever touched the fatal draught, simply because 110 daughter betore r.uitn had been born since the family had fallen under this evil influence ; but now, as she stood there gazing at that case, striv striving - ing striving to make excuses for her father and brother, and to imagine their weakness and' their temptation, the girl felt a strange, subtile thirst, a soft longing, under the impulse of which she almost unconsciously stretched her. hand and took the case from" the mantel-shelf. How lonely, and dreary, and heavy heavy-hearted - hearted heavy-hearted she was ! and here was lethe ! She unfastened the lid aud drew out a crystal bottle capable of holding about a pint. It was hall lull ot a dark, red dish-brown liquid. She held it up to the light, and smiled faintly- and with a growing desire as she marked the rich, warm glow that shone through it There was ease, forgetfulness, delight. Who could say that the. pleasure did not" bal ance tne pain f one unscrewed tne sjiyer stopper anci raised the bottle to her lips. "Farewell ! but not, I trust, forever!" were the words spoken from without? or did her owh heart repeat them ? She caught the hottle away without having tasted its contents, and tremblingly closed it. 'Not till he breaks mv heart," she murmured. . "I will resist till then.". It waa the spirit of love that had saved her. But for that remembered sweet ness of look and word, and the vague nope which lived on that man's insinu ated promise, she would have gone the way 01 tne xorkes, and l.nien an easy victim totheir strong but insidious de stroyer. For the Demon of the house of Yorke was laudanum, more terrible than alco- noi, clenching his victims with a stron er grasp, and giving them only so much respite from torment as would prolong their tormented lives. Always dying, but never, it seems, to die; that is the fate of him who oiice suffers himself to listen to the first sweet whispers of this terrible and rasclnating power.

Martha took a step to Kdilh's side, and, bending over the kneeling girl, touched her on the shoulder. "Miss Edith, here is a man who offers to help us till other help comes," she said. "Shall he stay or go?" As the. woman touched that bowed form', the bead dropped aside, and Edith slid noiselessly to the floor. "My God!" the woman exclaimed; "she is dead ! The brutes have killed her. Edith, my darling, my beauty, look up ! There is no danger now. Open your eyes, dear! Nothing shall harm you. O, what shall I do?". : "Sue has only fainted.' the man said, though the cold and motionless face al almost - most almost made him doubt his own words. "Let me take her to a sofa." Martha pushed him aside, and lifting the frail form in her own strong arms, bore it into an ante-room and laid it on a sofa. i . -"Go to the dining-room . and bring water," she commanded? chafing the pale little hands of her mistress.
