en Europe, surtout en France, ou, quoiqu'il ait ete supprime, il a ete lu dans toutes les coteries de Paris, et ou meme les femmes, au lieu nuits a le copier." Gneisenau was in this country in his youth,--one of those Hessians who were bought by George III. to murder Americans who would not submit to his crazy tyranny. That was an excellent school in which to learn the creed of assassins; for there was not a Hessian in the British service who was not as much a bravo as any ruffian in Italy who ever sold his stiletto's service to some cowardly vengeance-seeker. It ought, in justice, to be added, that Sir Walter Scott states that in 1816 "there existed a considerable party in Britain who were of opinion that the British government would best have discharged their duty to France and Europe by delivering up Napoleon to Louis XVIII.'s government, to be treated as he himself had treated the Duc d'Enghien." So that the Continent did not monopolize the assassins of that time. THE SONG SPARROW. Can you hear the sparrow in the lane Singing above the graves? she said. He knows my gladness, he knows my pain, Though spring be over and summer be dead. His note hath a chime all cannot hear, And none can love him better than I; For he sings to me when the land is drear, And makes it cheerful even to die. 'T is beautiful on this odorous morn, When grasses are waving in every wind, To know my bird is not forlorn, That summer to him is also kind;-- But sweeter, when grasses no longer stir, And every lilac-leaf is shed, To know that my voiceful worshipper Is singing above my voiceless dead.
