THE DEMOCRATIC UEVIEW OF BRITISH AND FOREIGMNT POLITICS , HISTORY , AND L 1 TEKATUBE Edited l > y G . Julian Harxey . No . 2 , July . London : 5 , Wine Office-court , Fleet-street The articles in iihis number of the Democratic Mevieio areanmerousand varied ; all , however , ljreatuc one tone , that of stern hatred of oppression , and an enthusiastic devotion to the holy cause of Justice . Following the Editor ' s letter to the "Working Glasses , Mr . Alfeed "Walton contributes another admirable epistle « To tlin Trains of f twat . Britain and
Ireland . " The Letter from the Paris Correspondent of tie Review , on the " Present Political Aspect , and Prospects of 3 ? rance , " contains some striking revelations of the wonderful progress of Democratic Socialism , and Industrial Emancipation , in Paris , and the principal cities of France . A second letter from " Terrigenous" forcibly asserts , and maintains , the original commonality of Land . An elaborate " Political and Historical Review " of the principal occurrences of ihe month of
June , includes reflections on Mr . Home ' s motion for Parliamentary Eeform , and the principal debates in loth houses : also on the popular movements , both political and social , abroad and af home . The infernal conspiracy of the French rulers against Democracy ; the atrocious lioinbardment of Rome ; the straggles of the German Democrats ; the " War in Hungary , &c , &c , are amongst the subjects reviewed in this article . From an ably-Avrit ten paper , hearing the signature of " One of « The Hen of the Future / " we select the
following extracts
MOXAHCHT . The onlv pretence for a Monarchy that approaches feasibility , is the similarity of that form of ooveruuent to the patriarchal , or family system , -which existed ia the infancy of society—such , for instance , as that of Abraham , Lot , &c—and it is anrued that this family system has been transmitted from ase to age , until it lias reached our era . Allowing this ^ whieh is the most favourable position in which the ruonarchial system can be placed , let us examine the grounds on wliicli its claims rest . Soeictv . like individuals , has its non-aso , and
the superior ' organisation of man enables him to preserve the experience of the preceding generation . Thus , thti youth of twenty is capable of tlttainiusr a jrsneral knowledge of the acquirements Of his progenitors ; and the vailed knoirhAgc thus accuniulate . 1 from generation to generation , leads to results that would exceed the belief of . our ancestor '' . What would the simple asid unsophisticated p «> 3 > te ^ K ™ in the time of Alfred the Croat , think of modern railways and sieam-hoats ? 2 fo doubt If such applications of mechanical power liad !> een projected in their day , the projectors -n-ouM have Ucen deemed insane .
„ „ It is dear that as the experience of society leads to iinjaovcineuts aot conceived possible ™ its earlier stages cf existence , that the same rule should hold jrornl iu all sirransements that concern the welfare of the people . That there was a time when tlic inexperience or brutality of mankind require ! a stringent , or despotic form of government , might be disputed , bat if admiticd , the continued exisii-ncc of such institutions under totally different
^ Ircmwsmnces , permits of no defence . "What JiOUlu we tliink of a body of men who would cow propose the abolition of f leamboats , railways , canals , and ai 3 » a--laai 5 sad roads , and a return to mountain tracks ami pack horses ? And what should we rfo if the s *»«? . e parties insisted on carrying their propositions into practice ? However preposterous such ideas , tiiev would be less so than the demoniac efforts now making by the Continental desjmts to stay the msrrh of jrovcrmncntal improvement , and turn
back the ride or popular progress , * * * * * Uat oven the preteaee that Monarchy is a type of the patriarchal system , cannot he sustained . A patriarch , or head of a family , is supposed to interest himself In the welfare of the whoU faisily . This is not the case in our modern Monarchies , but notoriously the reverse , the mass of the peop le hemg coercd and plundered as serfs , and outlaws , and the fi-nits of their industry wasted in riot and extravagances by the ruling few . But this is not the 2 arkest phase in which to view the evil results of irresponsible governments . It ss not merely the wealth which they absorb to themselves without
Tendering an equivalent to society , that forms the heaviest charge against them . It is the obstructive power wfcicli they possess and use to stay the on--c-ard march of social progress , and the developm ent of the vast wealth which exists In an uncultivated soil , and In the sinews of the unemployed people , the power which keeps the masses in a state of semil > arharism , ignorance , and poverty , at the same time that there are abundant means at hand to feed , clothe , and educate them , and elevate them to their proper position in the social scale-the power by which thev have seized on the means of existence , the land , and on all that appertains thereto , thus leaving the people houseless , landless , paupers , on thca- native soil . ¦ _ . of the

Still their opposition is futile ; the people are no longer subservient and unreasoning slaves of power , and every additional tract , pamphlet or periodical in the cause of Democracv is an additional stepping-stone by which the ' people will ultimately reach the goal of freedom . The " Manifesto of the Bed Republicans of Germany" is a startling and eloqUentl ™ -ri £ ten document . AVe give the following extracts % —
THK PEOLETARIAS nEVOLIJTIOX . ine time has an-ived for the decided , the out-andout revolutionary democrats to tht-ow their words and their acts into the scales of history . The cowardly and dirty work of the counter-revolution is terminated , and we are at the commencement of an entirely new . a whole revolution . The libDi'ties wrung from the governments in February and Juarcb , of which the bourgeois , more especially the German bourgeois , is fond of boastine , are now happil y entirely destroyed . The caricature of a constitutional Monarchy , that abortion of a haifrevelution , has been obliged to give way to the absolutism that preceded the days of [ March . The
treason " of 2 fovara makes Italy share the fate of Germany . The only people that still unfold the banner of revolution are the Magyars . They are the connecting link between the old and the new revolution , and will render possible the new victorious rising of the people in neighbouring Poland , in Germany , and even in Italy . The stream of revolution has run from West to East , and is on the point of rushing back in a strong tide to its home . If , in its course round the world , it again touches the West , it will not he left , like the first time , with a passing preetin ? and a secret shudder , but men will lay a fast hold on it , and sink it into the deepest layers of the popular mass , to stir up therefrom a new state and a new humanity .
Our party date the European Revolution not from February , but from June . The battle of June is the birthday of the Red—of our Republic . This later more terrible struggle , threw that of February into the shade . The revolution of February effected a momentary change in the form of the government , and the persons composing the Execute ; but the insurrection of June aimed at a transformation of the social system itself . The revolution of February was sure of success , as it contented itself with vH moving the first stone that obstructed its path " ; the insurrection of June could not ensure success at the onset , as it declared war against the present infamous state of society . In the revolution of
February all parties coalesced against one , that of the dynasty of July ; in the battle of June , one party , that of tie Socialist Democrats , fought against all the others . The battle of June is a sure pledge of liberty . Its greatest result is , however , mcontestibly the conviction that we cannot obtain one inch of ground for the realisation of our views and plans by the slow and quiet path of reforms ; that we have enemies opposed to us , who regard all means available to put aown our party , and against whom we must consequently employ all means
without pause or weakness ; that we cannot realise the principles of our party until the present condition of society is completely uprooted aud destroyed . The battle of June has split humanity into two great camps , between which neither reconciliation nor indifference can exist ; and for this reason it is the commencement of our revolution—of the revolution of the Proletarians . We shall always stand in opposition to all so-called Democrats who cannot determine to draw the last consequences from this revolution .
* 3 F * All parties now agree that the insurrection ir Hungary is not a national movement , but a European revolution . Magyars , Germans , Frenchmen , Italians , fight the war of extermination against the united absolutism of the eastern powers . This struggle has procured an army for the revolution which will seek battle-fields and laurels in every land of Europe . The Hunfjarlans war has proved that one man on the side of the revolution is worth ten hirelings in the pay of Absolutism . The Ilunj » arians have taken the initiative in the great worldwide war -which the dying spasms of Absolutism have called forth . They have relieved France of its post in the history of the world . Russians and Magyars will meet in deadly conflict for the possession " of "Vienna . The result of the struggle will decide the future fate of Germany . It is therefore imperious that it should be the battle-cry of the German revolution .
Following the above is a copy of the speccu of AiaiAsv Baebes , on the occasion of his trial for an alleged attempt to overthrow the French Constituent Assembly on the 15 th of May , 18 i 8 ; delivered in the presence of his Judges of the High Court at Bourges ; now first published in the English language . Critical notices of several new works conclude the contents of this number of the Democratic Review .

THE DEFECTIONS OF THE LONDON 2 REBS ( From the Peoples Advocate and New South-Wales Vindicator . ) It is now naarly forty years since the two great poets , Byron and Moore , visited the- editor of ths Examiner , when suffering ineai c 62 'Atio&' fov thd political independence of that journal . 'Jlie Story op Rimini , was conceived ami executed , we- believe , by Leigh Hunt , in Surrey gaol . Our desire is to direct the attention of our reader for a . moment to the Examiner ' s course from that landmark in its history .
Persecution assailed it , But the Examiner was steady in its political faith . The storm passed , and the gallant ship , with its freight of mental life and activity , proceeded onward , still proudly breasting the waves of corruption and power . For forty years the Examiner has been seen- by Europe in the van ward of liberty—an ardent-and ' effective promoter of the " good old cause . " A clear and commanding intellect lias boon displayed in its advocacy of popular rights , winning for it a " st'irry place" in the fourth estate ,-whileits steady adherence to truth lias secured to it the public regard and confidence . . But alas , its present conductor has stooped to the patronising hand of government Jthe Examiner can no longer , be reckoned in the
service of those who are struggling to be free . The pride of man ' s mind is too great to allow it unhesitatingly to acknowledge a master—to stand up at once the unblushing apologist for the powers that be ; but the evil leaven is at work ; its late articles show , though as yet but faintly , the pervasion of the moral poison . We could even bear with the truth-distorting , villany-brcathing , blood-jocose , liberty-vituperating articles of the Times , it we had not to bear with * the defections of those veteran journals whose names are grown , as it wore , household synonymes of justice and freedom . We remember O'Connell ' s red nomenclature of the Times , and we remember the raw-head-and-bleody-bones that glared upon our childhood from out the stories of the old nurse , and wo prepare ourselves to encounter all manner of dazzling monstrosities . We know its pestilential
nature and we walk through its atmosphere with the plague-preventer at our ' bosoms . Looking at the London press , it is impossible to supprees our fears for the public good , and our apprehension of public evil . The jaundiced views taken of the late tremendous events in France—the kaleideseopic pictures of those fearful and all-important occurrences presented to the world—the tortuous misrepresentation of what the French had rendered clear and plain , and the ungenerous and untruth-loving interpretations of the mystical there and dimly seen—all these things have a portentousness in their hazy aspect , which must cause deep anxiety to the well-wishers of British journalism . Nor to us , the colonists of New South Wales , is this anxiety the least groundless ; our caterers for English news pounce on all the worst portions of the unseemly patchwork ; every bad product of perverted zeal and talent seems to be relished
astonishingly by our local journalists . They tlnnk , perhaps , that their popguns will bo the more formidable for having some smell of the powder and shot from the cannon of the Times . In this they are not wise in their generation ; the people of this young country ,-with all their apathy and " intellectual barrenness " ( as the Herald calls it ) are athirst for truth .

„ v _ . > —p Poisonous Nature op Effluvia from the Dead . —Mr . Maokinnon , M . l \ , at a meeting respecting burials in towns , stated the following face ;— " A lady having died , her body was placed in a coffin , upon which was nailed a plate , describing her virtues , age , and station in life . The naiis fastening this plate were , unfortunately , so long , that they passed through the wood and lead of the coffin , which caused the effluviaof the body to escape , and the gas proved of so noxious a nature that four of the deceased ' s daughters , who inhaled it while pining over the coffiu , died within a fortnight afterwards .
Workiiousk Test . —The number of vagrants relieved during the six months ending Alarch , ISi'J , in the workhouse of Sundorhiiid , was 582 , at a cost of £ 5 9 s . Id . The number relieved during the previous six months , ending September , 1848 , by the relieving officers , out of the workhouse , but nearly all in Uishopwearmouth , was 5 , 206 , at a cost of upwards of £ 120 . The difference arose from the plan now adopted in giving relief to vagrants , which is this : —When vagrants apply for relief at the workhouse ( whore alone it can be given ) , they are taken to the bath-room , made to strip , and have their clothes examined . After receiving a cold bath , they are furnished with a clean night-gown and a bed . In the morning they are made to riso before six , and in the first place , are rcconducted to the bath-room to dress . The males arc then employed two hours breakin or stones , and the females an equal
time picking oakum ' ; after which they are supplied with a breakfast , and arc then seen out of the town by one of the porters . It is rai-oly that a second appl ' cation is made by them . Numbers of tl c applicants have even refused to receive the relief administered in this way , and have left the premises muttering cursos loud and deep against all who have participated in establishing such « i test of pauperism as a bath . The mere saving , however , in the amount of relief secured by the change is very trilling compared with the cost these vagrants otherwise entailed to the union from their not unfrequcntly being taken ill at the "lodging houses " where they were temporarily locitod , themselves and families , in such cases , becoming chargeable for months , and in many instances permanently , owing to the difficulty experienced in ascertaining t lmii' sftht . lomoiits . «
Lvsus Natuhj ;—Wo have to record nltmisnatura , of which , in modern times , the Sicilian twins llitta-¦ Christina and the Siamese brothers were the most memorable instances . At Eerncghcm , a village three lcasrucs from . the town of Bruges , forming nearly the central point between Bruges , Thourout , and Ostond , were born , on the 28 th ultimo , two children of the female sex compactly united to each other . The two bodies join at the sides ; the ligature union beginning a ' little below tho right breast of the one and the left breast of the other , and continuing as far as the navel , so that the children do not look cacli other in the face , but are turned
one towards the other in an oblique position . TIioll " heads , arms , thigh ' s , and legs are perfectly free , and they have the proper use of all their limbs , anil their position is such as to permit their mother to nurse both at the same time without difficulty . The cui'iitc of the parish baptised them the day of their birth in the names of Mario and Sophie . Tim parents are poor servants , working and residing in si small farm held by au old bachelor . The husband's name is Tanghc ; his wife , aged about thirtyeight years , has four children . This birth has made some considerable noise in the neighbourhood , and the curious already begin to besiege the farmhouso where it took place .

Names , —Christian nanws , as well as * Surnames * arc often exposed to most ludicrous corruptions . A good story , in point , is told by " the Doctor . " "A gentleman , called Anketil © ray , had ocaasion for the certificate of his baptissn : it was Known at what church he had been baptised , but on searching the register there , no such nsme could be * . found ; some mistake was presumed , therefore , nefc in the entry , but in the recollection ; of the parties , and many otherregistcrs were examined without success .
At length the- first register was again referred to , : ind then upon . 1 closer investigation , they found him entered as Mss Ann Kettle Qreij ! Mr . IIuds . on ' s Testimonial . —For this testimonial under £ 16 , 000 were subscribed . This was paid' into the York Union Banking Company , to be presented by the Committee for tho testimonial to Mr .

" Lv society , as actually organised , each is false to all , and all are false to each ; but the source of the universal falsehood is , that every one is falso to himself—is false to his individuality as an individual . Earnest Mes are never offended that others who differ from them the widest in opinion should be earnest ; but they are offended that the earnestness of others should treat their earnestness as folly and guilt . The PnixoipAt Evil . —Some , however , * of the most honest and fearless of the Radicals have shown the institution of private property in the soil to be
what it really is , namely , an evil of the first magnitude , and one the abolition of which must be an early fruit of the political enfranchisement of the people . —S . Bower . A Scriptural Sqad . —The imposition of baptismal names has frequently been influenced by some whim of the parents . At Charlton , county Kent , three female children , prodnecd at one birth , received the names of-Faith , Hope , and Charity . A peasant , residing in a village on the South Downs , in Sussex , once presented an infant at the font , and desired the oiflciati- 'g minister to give him the name of "Acts . " Tho clergyman , puzzled at the suggestion
of so strange a name , inquired how it was spelt , and whence it had been selected . The honest man replied that it was a Scripture name , and as his four former children bore the names of Matthew , Mark , Luke , and John , lie should like to have this one christened . "Acts ! " Tlie intention was , however , overruled , and a more regular appellation conferred . Unfortunately for the poor child , the circumstance was not forgotten in his after life ; and as he had two younger brothers , named , respectively , Richard and Thomas , the roguish urchins of the village used to annoy the whole family by the following rigmarole : —
" Matthew , Mark , Lu-ke , and John , Acts o'Postles , Dick , and Tom I " TiiERE might be some hope of our amendment if we would but confess our faults ; as a man must be awake that tells his dream . —Seucca . Luther USRD TO SAY— " In the namcof God begins all mischief . " All must be fathered upon God . Force Justified . —If a rob her invade my house , or a * murderer attack my family , shall I not use force ns'aitist him ? If in my own defence I am compelled to slay him , is not this a righteous act ? Is the evil less , when the robber calleth himself a legislator—when the assassin is a minister ? Shall the one be "justifiable homicide , " and the other be branded ns " rebellion ?"
Woman's Temper . —No trait of character is more valuable in a female than tiie possession of a sweet temper . Home can never bo made happy without ifc . It is like the flowers that spring up in our pathway , reviving and cheering us . Li't a man go homo at night , wcTiried and worn by the toils of die day , and how soothing is a word dictated by a good disposition ! It is sunshine falling upon his heart . He is happy , aud the cares of lifc are forgotten . A sweet temper has a soothing influence over the minds of a whole family . Where it is found m a wife and mother , you observe kindness and love predominate over the bad feelings of a natural liCtii't . Smiles , kind words , and looks , characterise the children , and peace and love have their dwelling there . Study , then , to acmiirc and retaiii a sweet temper . It is more valuable that gold ; it captivates more than beauty , aud to the close of life retains all its freshness and power .

SU 5 S 1 IINE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF TUB MXETEEXTII CENTURY . BY * THOMAS JIARTEf WIIEELEB , -kite Secretary to the National Charter Association and National Land Company ?
CnAPiEn XIII . I heard as all have heard life ' s various story , Aud in no careless heart transcribed the tale ; But , from the sneers of men who bad grown hoary In shame and scorn , from groans of ci'Swds made pale By famine , from a mother ' s desolate wail O'ei-her polluted child , from innocent blood Poured on the earth , and brows anxious and pale With the heart ' s warfare , did I gather food To feed my many thoughts ; a tameless multitude . Shelley .
Julia , Arthur , Mrs . Elldnson , and Mr . Burke were the usual occupants of the mess-room when the weather was not sufficiently calm to be on deck . Mv , Weeks and the purser were generally on deck with the captain . Mr . Burke was a tall , sallowlooking man , remarkable only for his devotion to the table and his careful superintendence of the ship ' s-cook—he seldom spoke except at table , and then only relative to tho good or ill qualities of the viands ; after dinner he returned to the cabin , to sleep away the time until the next meal was announced . Mrs . Elkinson was likewise accustomed to an afternoon siesta : so that Julia and Arthur
were generally left alone during the time between the dinner and tea bells . It was during these intervals that Arthur confided to Julia the minute particulars of his history ; the dreamimjs of his boyhood—the reveries of his apprentice years—his struggles with poverty in the metropolis—his entrance into political life—the exciting scenes that occurred in Birmingham—his unjust accusationhis flight , and the awful details of the shipwreck ; these events , told hi the eloquent and impassioned manner which Arthur could so well employ , were sweet but strange music to her ears—like Desdemona , she loved him for the dangers he had past , and he loved her that she did pity him . In her eyes he became a hero of romance , and she longed to know the principles of Chartism and the motives of its persecutors ; her heart truly informed her that the first were good and noble , or Arthur would not
nave adopted them , and the vmdictiveness and injustice of the latter were then apparent . In forcible language did Arthur depict to her the wrongs endured by the people through unjust legislation , and the simple but complete means of remedy propounded by the Charter . " Look around , " said he , at the close of one of their conversations , " on the myriads of our fellowbeings who yearly perish from hunger , or diseases brought on by hunger , whiht the boards of pampered idlers groan with the wei g ht of every excess . View the dying thousands who feel that their lives might be prolonged by a few drops of those generous liquors which are maddening and destroying the lives of their possessors . See the thousands of honest artisans through whose ragged garments every winter's wind pierces like a dart , while yon sleek trades are veil clothed in the raiment the
others have created . Observe yon group of haggard females , compelled to desert their infant offspring , and sacrifice the } oys of maternity at the shrine of tha Factory Moloch . Glance at that crowd of women-men , inverting the order of Nature , and performing a mother s duties—nay , look not steadily at them , or their wan faces will blush with shame and anger . Trace the career of those deserted babes—see their stunted frames bending beneath their protracted labour , and their infant blood poured forth like water , that our millowners and manufacturers may become refined and luxurious . Gaze upon the white hairs of those ancient labourers , tte venerable of the land , who after producing more wealth than would have kept
themselves and their families in affluence—cheated of the result of their labour—are compelled to enter that hell upon earth a Union Workhouse , or turned adrift on life ' s dreary common , to starve and die . " Julia shuddered at these harrowing pictures , but alas ! their truth could not be gainsayed . " Does not such a state of society , " continued Arthur , " need a change—a state where honest Industry starves , whilst bloated Idleness pants from excess—where Yirtuc and Patrotism hide their heads in hovels which shake beneath the carriage wheels of the sycophant and the sensualist—where millions are yearly wrung from the life ' s blood of the poor , that cormorant bishops and pampered parsons may preach the doctrine , that the rich man
cannot enter into Heaven , and that passive obedience is the grand injunction of God ? A state where crmined judges and silk-gowned counsellors sit in state to distribute the mockery of justice to him whom their laws have rendered criminal , and where more money is yearly extracted from the marrow of her sons , for the detection and punishment of crime , than would , if properly applied , for ever banish crime from the land . Yes , Lady Baldwin , it is for teaching these truths that I am rendered a fugitive from justice , an exile from my native land . " "Tet , " said Julia , " surely it is but the designing few who support these monstrosities—the majority of the upper classes need only to have them pointed out to take steps for their removal ?"
" Ah ! Lady Baldwin ; your charity leads you to judge them too favourably . Wrapped up in the mantle of their own selfishness , they heed not the destiny of those beneath them—they tread on a slumbering volcano , the lava of desolation surrounds them , buc they have grown accustomed to the scene , and walk in fancied security . Providence , they say , has destined the many to-poverty and labour , and it is useless for them to repine , and with this blasphemy on their lips they dismiss the subject , and proceed with their routine of existence—pleasure without enjoyment , revelry without mirth . If , perchance , one of their order should interest himself in so vulgar a subject , he is dubbed an eccentric or a monomaniac , and his presence is shunned as a bore . " ; " But the middle class , " said Julia , " surely thoj should aid the workinj men in so noble a struggle —their interests are similar ?"
" *» o , dear lady , their interests are not similar ; they are as U'Stmct as the positive and negative poles Of an electric battery - t / iey apparently belong to the same body , they are influenced by the same causes , but the effects on oach are widely differentthe interest of the working man is to sell his labour at the ino = ; t profitable rate ; the interest of the other is to reduce it down to starvation point : the one is benefitted by the whole of his order being well employed and well paid ; the object of the other is , by tho introduction of machinery , and the encouragement of pauper immigration to the large towns , to cause a redundancy of labour in the market , that he may work upon the fears of the sensitive aud the weak , and purchase thcr labour at
m ' -f own price .. Prior to the passing of the Reform Bill , there was one sole point of similarity in their interests—both were equally disenfranchised : bnt when , by aid of tho energy of the working men , they achieved that measure , the clmin of the labour slave was rivetted still firmer ' , the employer was politically free , but the brand-mark was still deeper engraved on the brow of the employed ; tho ladder by which the middle class had risen was thrown down as useless , and they had ever since endeavoured , by every moans in their power , to aily themselves to the upper class , and to build up n wall of separation between them and the working men , Selfishness is their ruling -principle , —gold , the idol of their worship ; to this divinity all must
bow and bend . The shopkeepers a ml small trmlpsmen alone have . 1 common interest with the working men , but they , too , are either so immersed in the hard struggle for bread that they heed not the sure method of obtaining it through good and cheap government , or so lamentably ignorant that they sell their birthright for a mess of potage . " Julia replied not , but sig hed deeply , her visions of the brightness of human nature were fleeting fast away , but centred still more firmly in the one , to her mind , perfect specimen before her . Arthur continued : "No , fair lady , redemption for tllC working Classes must spring from themselves alone ; long experience lias shown in every instance the credulity of depending upon others ; and even amon" working men there are grades of aristocracy , their equall
who look down with contempt upon y useful brethren , who earn a few shillings , less per week than themselves . Thus does the principle of aristocracy penetrate even into the heart of democracy robbing it of vitality and strength , and causinff the day of its deliverance to be afar off , for , of all enemies , the most deadly are those within our own ranks . But perhaps , " said Arthur , mournfully " it is a portion of our destiny that by sorrow , sufferinn * , and persecution , again and again renewed , can Ve alone be fitted for the enjoyment of calm and peaceful liberty . " . * x . , - - There was something m the tone and manner 01 Arthur that went to the heart of Julia , —she answered not , but thoug ht of her own bitter lot , and that for her there was no ultimatum of enjoyment .
With such conversations , as these did they wile awav the tedium of the voyage . Julia drunk m the words of Arthur as from a fount of inspiration , —his sentraumts became her scntim ents -ius feelings her eelinffs ,-and oh ! how grateful to rrovxdence Si she have been if his lot , though , one of ora-tv and danger , could have been shared . by her iVnT Wealth and titles , what gaudy trappings ye 1 re ' how brilliant , but how unsatisfactory ! lour votaries rush through every danger-dare every SKce-sparc neither age , nor sex , friend nor foe , tafifaup themselves in your embraces , and when suc-£ q ? h £ ' crowned their exertions they find toe late ffiS- vour feUi are venomous , and your embraces cn-SrSiety and disease .
