[" WIIOLE No.129 MISCELLANY.Fram Godes's Lady's Book for January.ATALANTA UPON SKATES.BY GLACE GREENWOOD.Somewhat more than tu -nfv vears ago, ma fine old mansion on the St.Lawrence, near Menteeal, ved General Paul Leious, formerly of the French army, and a devoted Bonupurtist.On the fina! full of Napoleon, he had emigrated to Canada with his family, and a portion of his once princely fortune.General Leroux was a widower, with two twin children, Henri and Eugenie, at your + well wrapped in furs and flannel, and rosy- service, my reader.These two, having lost their motlier in carly childhood, had spent some years with relatives in Switzerland.\u2014 In that wildest country, in the midst of a large household, herself the especial pet of her grand-uncle, a veteran soldier, Eugenie Lereux was allowed all the wild and health- lui freedom of a pensant girl.At the age of sixteen, when she accompanied her father and brother to the New Warld, she could boast but few Jady-like accomplishments and aristocratic airs; but she was lovely, with ihe proiise of extraordinary beauty, bewitchingly naive in manner, and as brave and vig- orows as a young Zingara.She was pas- Honate in spirit, impetuous and wayward fiery and fearless in her reseptments, bul quick and generous to furgive; ardent and duvoted to the death in her loves and friend- \u201chips, Henri Leroux was possessed of a fino mtelleet, but was of a delicate physical organization 3 gente in spirit, sersitive, studi- ois and religious, the Tor beauty of his face, the subdued tone of his voice, and bis quiet manner, ail went to render him a most re- wiarkable centrast to his sister.But J will not dwell further upon his character, as his fistuve Lie x to form the subject of a subre- quent choieh, Ou reuching bis Canadian honre, General Leror:: procured a governess aud master for iter.Mademdiselle Eugenie soon u good knowledge of English, and aequires wade rapid progress in music, for which she possessed remarkable talents but she indig- panty overturned hier embroidery frame, toss- od ber paint brashes into the river, and sent Lier Latin grammar after them.Her poor governess resigned, in despair, all hope of making a fine lady out of the wild gin) of the Alps, whom an indulgent father, good, easy su, perniîtted to follow, in all things, her can untrammeded impulses.Oui Leroine*s early residence in Switzerland did colered her entire after Hife and eharae- ter: and the daughter of a soldier, she was, purhaps not unnaturally, eoldier-like and somewhat masculine in her tastes.She nei- tier trembled, fainted, nor shricked with exquisite sensibility aud delicate nervousness at the voor of ordnance, the peal of musketry, or the sharp crack of the rifle.She loved them rather, and at the gleam of arms and; the exuliing swell of martial music, there ever lashed from hier Kindling eyes the bold | spirit of a Joan d\u2019Are.As a liorse-woman, she was absolutely unrivalled in all the Can-| adas\u2014at least, so said her riding-master.\u2014 | She conld row like Grace Darling, swim like, a mermaid, and then her shating\u2014¢1er skating! Good gracious I?eries my fair reader, | in feminine consternation.Wait a Lit, hon-, cv.and consider.Skating is an amusement which has Leen too long monopolized by! \u201csur natural enemy,\u2019 as some lady writer\u2014 Miss Martineau, Miss Hannah More, or Miss tobinson Crusoe\u2014call the sterner sex.It is a graceful, a delighiful, and most invigora-, ting exercise.I speak not unadvisedly, for in my early eithood, T too acquired the sin- widar aveoaplishment, and only biush for the false delicacy which has since prevented me koeping ysell in practice.3ut Fugenie, fearless of the censures of the vver-vefinvd, and epurning the impertinent observations of the canatlle, pursued with enthusiasm the favorite pastime of her Swiss winter-life ; and po sooncr did the ice of the Si.Lawrence become of a reliable thickness, than, accompanied by het twin brother, she n:ight be seen performing her graceful evolu- tious thereon fur hours together.Her skill and swiftness became provetbial, and many were the delighted witnesses of her varied and extraordinary feats.But itis time she was introduced personally to my reader.Ou the afternoon of a keen but sunny day in January, Eugenie and Henri Leroux laughingly descended the bank of the river, and mingled with a small company of skaters.\u2014 Mademoiselle Kugeuie, then a strikingly beautiful brunette of cightcen, was suitably, though somewhat coquettishly, attired in a short skirt and tightly fitting jacket of dark blue cloth, richly trimmed with black fur.Upon her head she wore a small fur cap; her raven hair was put plainly back, the rich brown of her complexion was brilliant with a glow of pleasure, and her large dark eves were flashing back the sunshine.After amusing herself as usual for awhile, Fugenie observed a burly English corporal, with whom she had a slight skating acquaintance, progressing leisurely toward her, drawing a miniature sleigh.This, she presently saw, contained the first-born of the corporal\u2019s house, a stout boy of about hall a year old, fem rmmaaLL AL he LE EAT elm.\u2014 : STANSTEAD, APRIL 20, 1848.f checked with the healthful wintry air.Eu- l genie glided along by the litle vehicle, chat- {ting pleasantly, and delighting the proud father by her praises of his preny child, till suddenly a wild thought darting through her brain, she caught the infant fiom the cush- ong, laid it ou ker head, after the Swiss man- Une, putting up enc hand to steady it, and was off like à flash! As for the corpural, \u201chis sensations were more cusily imagined than described,\u201d 10 use a novel expression.He stood stupified and transfixed for a moment, then gave a cry, between a groan and a yell, and then started in pursuit.He was a tolerable skater, but he knew not with whom he had to compete.Eugenie was now rods ahead of him ; looking back and laughing provokingly ; now passing so near that he was almost grasping her dress 3 now circling about him with fearful rapidity.At last the pour man became furious, swore roundly ot the mischievous girl, and called for aid in rescuing his child.Three or four, Henri among the number, laughing heartily, set out in ca- ger pursuit; but Eugenie, after eluding them at every point, flew back to the litle sleigh, lowered the child from her head, kissed him hastily, laid him smiling and unharmed upon his pillow, and was ofl\u2019 again.Among the interested though inactive spectators of this strange scene, ware two Biitish oflicers, then stationed at Montreal\u2014 Captain Humilton and Licuterant Thurston.The former was highly connnected and the heir to considerable wealth, had à soldieriy appearance, a symumetrical form, and a fine menly face, happy, and withal innocent in its expression.Thurston was a man of the world, with a peculiarly English physiognomy ; was considered handsomer than his companion, to whom he was an attached and devoted friend.On leaving the river, alter Eugenie and her brother had disappeared, Hamilton main- rained a thoughtful silence until he reached his quarters, when be exclaimed\u2014#l'hurs- ton, we must make the acquaintance of General Leroux, for, by the powers, I would give my commission to know that girl! She isa glosious creature\u2014a glo ri ous creature !\u201d \u201cFudge, Hamilton ; she is a merciless lit- lle savage\u2014a very ogress, running away with babies, and frightening worthy fathers out of their wits,\u201d Our officers found little difficulty in gaining an entree into the hospitable mansion of the courteous Gen.Leroux, and ere many months were past, they were on a footing of familiar intercourse with his fanily.Captain Hamilton\u201ds admiration for Eugenie finally decpen- ed into love, and many things scemed to au- gui favorably for the success of his suit.\u2014 The father and brother of the lady were both won over by the many excellencies of the voung scldier*s character, his intellectual qual- fications and the charm of his manner; but ilie heart of Eugenie herself was not so easily conquered.Her lover svon ascertained that many of her feelings, tastes and early prejudices were opposed to the interest he sought to create.First of all, her amor pu- triæ was far stronger than that of most women, she passionately loved le belle France, and as passionately hated her enemies.\u2014 Then she cherished if the depths of her soul, that wild, enthusiastic, adoring love for Napoleon which none but a true Bonapartist can fully understand.When a mere child, she had seen the great hero\u2014she had à distinet recollection of his fave, of his winning smile, as he addressed a few playful words to her.Henri Leroux even declared to Hamilton that her right chcek, which had received the imperial salute, had been fabooed from that time, no less august lips having pressed the sacred spot, To her father and brother, Eugenie never spokc of the glorious days of the empire but with mournful enthusiasm\u2014of the cmperor but with tears; yet to Captain Hamilton she talked proudly of the deeds and reign of the great king-maker, and entered into many an animated discussion of his merits as a ruler and a general.Hannilton, like every English soldier, wax a worshipper of Wellington, and could never be brought to admit that the gencralship of the conquered surpassed that of the conqueror.Such discussions sometimes add a piquancy to friendship, but no degree of discord 1s healthful for love\u2014and our lovers had some serious disagreements.But reconciliations always followed, Eugenie usually concluded, in her calmer moments, that a live friend was better than a dead emperor, and frankly sending to the aggrieved gentleman some pacific message.During the summer and fall, General Le- roux was absent on a tour through the States ; and, as Henri was much engroseed by studies, Captain Hamilton was left a fair field for his woving operations.He rode and walk- cd, sung and read English with Mademoiselle, and all would have gone on smoothly had he not also talked.But the ghost of Bonaparte was never laid; and that unfortunate last battle, when the «little corporal\u201d was defeated by fale, not by Wellington, was fought over again almost daily.On the return of the General, Capt.Ham- making a formal proposal to Eugenie.To his great jov, the kind father made no opposition to his suit\u2014leaving_ the matter wholly in his daughter\u2019s hands.But Eugenic was too arch a coquette to decide ot once\u2014again and again requested time for consideration, until weeks slipped by, and the morry skating days had come round again.It was a clear, luminous moonlight night late in December, when Capt.Hamilton and Lieut.Thurston met at the house of General Leroux.Thurston had but that day returned from Quebee, where he had been spending some months; and was, therefore, not altogether au fait of the state of affairs between his brother soldier and Mademoiselle Eugenie.The friends, though they did not come together, found they were bound on the self-same errand\u2014to solicit the honor of attending upon Mademoiselle to a military ball which was to be given on New-Year\u2019s eve.As neither gentleman would resign his claims in favor of the other, a playful altercation en- sued\u2014 Eugenie declaring herself unable to decide.At this point, Henri laughingly proposed that, as the night was magnificent, the important question should be decided by a skating match; or that Eugenie should play «Atalanta upon Skates.\u201d The gentlemen joyfully assented ; Eugenie clapped her hands with childish glee, and retired to don ber skating costume.This was somewhat different from the one which she had worn a year before; the trimming being of white fur, and for the sake of greater con- spic uousness on this occasion, she had placed in her cap along white ostrich plume.The effect of this dress was to render her more bewitchingly beautiful than ever, as she came bounding into the drawing room for her companions.General Lerofix, after gazing on her proudly for a moment, embraced her tenderly, and declared his intention of joining the litle party, to see that no harm befel her, and to see that all went fair in the race.In their way to the river, Captain Hamilton, whose arm Eugenie had taken, looked with sudden seriousness into the roguish eyes of his companion, and whispered\u2014 «May not a question of more moment than that of escorting you to this hall, be also decided to-night 7\u201d?\u201cIn the same manner, Monsieur ?\u201d \u201cYes, and may the swiftness of my heels avail, where the eloquence of an adoring heart has failed 7\u201d?\u201cAs you will,\u201d she replied laughing merrily.\u201cOvertake me, and I surrender prisoner for life ; but fail, and it is the lost Waterloo of your weuing.Remember!\u201d The moon was at its full, and the ice-bound St.Lawrence lay like a broad sheet of glittering silver.The race was soon fairly begun.Thurs- ton at first seemed likeliest to win, but laying out all his strength in desperate efforts to head Eugenie in her marvelous evolutions, at length sunk down utterly exhausted; and the provoking girl turned and flew past him, like a wild, bird on the wing, The field was now left to Hamilton, who had infinitely more at stake, and he swore a mighty oath (to himself) never to yield until the victory was his.It was a scene of singular excitement.\u2014 Hamilton, though an admirable skater, never seemed to gain on Eugenie, except by her own permission; for she would now and then flag, as thongh about to pause, place her hand on her side, and drop her head, as from sveariness.Hamilton would redouble his efforts, and the next moment she would Le flv- ing about him in bewildering circles, neaver and nearer, till the ring of her skates, and her merry laugh were in his car; and then away shot her little form with incredible swiftness, till far a-down the river her long white plume was floating in the moonlight.At length Eugenie called back-\u2014 «T am getting tired of this Capt.Hamilton.You can never overtake me; but stop where you are, and I will come to you !\u201d?Hamilton paused, and soon beheld his inamorata swilily approaching.As she drew nearcr, however, she glided along more leisurely and coquettishly.Ah! moment ol thrilling rapture to the lover, when he wateh- cd that magnificent creature coming slowly, hut steadily towards him, with her head archly inclined to one side; her lusuriant hair loosed from her cap, and falling over her shoulders; her arms crossed upon her bosom ; her lips apart, and her eves flashing gloriously, and not unlovingly, upon him !\u2014 Nearer, nearer; he reached forth his arms with a cry of joyful welcome! Nearer, nearer; he could sce her breath, silvered into small clouds, by the frost of the still night !\u2014 when she bowed her head, and shot bencath his extended arm, like a winged arrow ! The baflled officer turning quickly, too quickly, alas, for his feet slid from under him, and he measured his length upon the ice !\u2014 He suddenly recovered himself, to behold Eugenie pausing at a little distance, and resigned herself to extravagant merriment; her wild laugh ringing out like a peal of bells on the clear frosty air.Voxation and mortification gave our hero new strength, and he again set out with all the energy of desperation.This time he gained upon his treach- erous lady-love.Eugenie became really a- ilton thought best to consult with him, before larmed, when, looking backward, she saw ee I 2 hit daebing on like an engle in pursuit of a devoted wood-pigeon.She strove eagerly to reach the bank, hut in vain.Hamilton saw with exultation that the prize would soon be his; he already st:etched out his arme, when \u2014she was gone, gone! and at lis feet yawned a chasm in the ice! Fearless of death and the rheumatism, the gallant captain leap- cd to the rescue; and, as Heaven would have it, Eugenie rose in the same place where she sank, and was sufely lifted from the water, and borne to the bank by her alarmed lover.She had chanced upon a spot but thinly frozen over; the thick icc having been eut and removed on that very day.The poor girl was chilled into partial unconsciousness, and Hamilton knelt by her side and tenderly strove to revive her.Her father, Henri and the Lieutenent had reached the spot, but no one interfered with the office of her rescuer.He scemed not to notice the presence of others, os he bent over the fainting gir! and chafed her hands and temples.At last, he pressed his lips to hers, and called upon ber name in an agony of love and fear.As though she had received à powerful galvanic shock, Eugenie instantly sprang to her feet, rejecting with indignation and Acuteur the further assistance of her presuming lover.Supported by her father and brother, she proudly walked homeward, hurt and mortified by the tragi-comic termination of the cvening\u2019s amusement.The adventurers reached the house, with icicles depending fiom every point and edge of their attire, and found themselves pretty thoroughly chilled ; but a change of clothing, and a trifle of eau de vie, soon set all right again.Engenie maintained her proud and silent reserve until, as Captain Hamilton was abont leaving, General Leroux grasping his hand, =aid in a tremulous voice\u2014 «My dear young friend, you have saved the life of my child; reccive a father\u2019s blessing 1\u201d?Engenie\u2019s heart was touched 5 she sprang forward impetuously, scized Hamilton\u2019s other hand, and looking up with tearful eves, said, in a tone to be heard by all present: \u2014 \u201cLet me also thank you, my preserver; 1 have been ungrateful, unwomaniy ; forgive me!\u201d A short time subsequent to the litle adventure which we have narrated, Captain Hamilton was ordered to anotlier station, where he remained during the winter ; his affaire de cœur continuing in the mean time pretty much in statu guo.In the spring time he returned, but only to Lid his friends adieu, as his company had been recalled to England.On his announcing this to Eugenie, she threw aside ber reserve at once, exclaim- ing\u2014 «Holy mother, going! and I\u2014how am I to endure the parting I\u201d?«Great Heaven, Eugenie! is it possible that you love me at last 7?«1 do, truly, tenderly 5 I can never love another\u2014will never wed another! 1 tell you this my friend, because I cannot wed with you.\u201d \u201cSay not so, dearest; be my wife! go with me to England! 1 will make any suc- rifice for vour love.Say the word and 1 will leave the army, that may never be the active enemy of your native country.Tell me, my love, will vou be persuaded 17?WOOD'S BUILDING, ROCK ISLAND.© lia = J ar mea ms a = - a= Vou.3-==No .25 .Yet I cannot accept this sacrifice; I cannot separate you from the man you love, and who is worthy of you\u2014it would be sellish, sinful to do this.Go with Hamilton to England, his happy wife!

The spirit of my mother will aid me in my dutifnl devotion to you.Heaven will smile upon me, and I shall be happy.\u201d General Leroux sat in thoughtful silence for a moment ; then, blushing like a very boy, lie said\u2014 «Look here, my daughter 7° as he took from his bosom a miniature, set in brilliants, the portrait of a young and handsome woman, not the long dead mother of Henry and Eugenie.«What docs this mean, father ?\u201d said our heroine, turning deathly pale.\u201cIt means,\u201d he replied, \u201cthat foresecing that I could not always retain you to preside over my household, I have provided a substitute,\u201d \u201cWho and what is she?\u201d «Have patience, my love, and I will tell you all.While on my tour through the States, last autumn, I met with an old frie and fellow-soldier, an emigrant like myself, and his only child, a good and beautiful girl is she, who has promised to ill that void in my heart left by your mother, the place by my hearth stone to be left by you.I thought to have told you this long ago: but it was an awkward subject to broach ; and the marriage has been once postponed on account of the death of a relative of Marig\u2019s.\u201d «And so, my grand sacrilice wag uncalled for?\u2019 snid Eugenie, making an effort to smile, \u201cYes, my love\u2014I shall grieve deeply to part with you ; but I shall not be comfortless.Now, I am going out ; when Cap.t Hamilton calls, you must reccive him here, and may explain to him the change in your circumstances as regards me.Don\u2019t weep, my child\u2014don*t, D pray ! 1 will visit you in England with Henri and\u2014and my wife, in the course of the summer; and you will return to Canada, some time.God bless you, my darling 1\u201d?and the exemplary father took himself ff, Eugenie had hardly time to dry her tears compose her face, and smooth her ringlêts before Captain Hamilton walked into the libra- i TY.He was somewhat surprised at meeting | Eugenie again, and expressed much regret at 'not being able to sec her father.The poor \u2018girl was sadly embarrassed, and could utter little more than brief replies to the questions of her lover.After à few moments of painful constrained conversation, the Captain rose, I'kissed hastily the hand of his lady-love, and | not trusting himself to look upon her face, left her once again to her tears.She stood like a statue of grief, and listened to His every step as he descended to the hall below.\u2014 Then, scarce conscious of the act, she flew rather than ran down the stairs.ler lover heard her light step, and turned towards her.She grasped his arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and murmured\u2014 «If you must go, George, take me with vou! Tam not necded here; I shall die if vou leave me !\u201d This was the first time Eugenie had ever called her lover George.\u201d My gentleman- reader will please recall the feeling with which he first heard his own name, (rom the lips of Oh ! do not urge we, I entreat vou?I cannot listen to you\u20141I must not leave my father! A stranger in a strange land, his country, his emperor, his daughter\u2014all lost to him; would lie not dic of a broken heart ?\u2014No, no: I will never forsake him!\u201d and the poor child burst into tears, Cant.Hamilton strode up and down the apartment, pale and beart-wrung with contending emotions § but he was too honorable, too truly noble long to hesitate, and respectfully taking Lugenie\u2019s hand in his he said\u2014 \u201c1 honor you for your decision 5 I love you the more tenderly for this beautiful exhibition of filial piety.May God give vs strength to endure our common trial, and permit me to return at no distant day to claim this hand.\u201d Then, after holding her tor the first time to his breast, and kissing away the tears which hung on her long, dark eve lashes, he turned hastily, and was gone.Bat he returned in a moment\u2014he had left a glove, and Mademoiselle Fugenie pressing that same glove to her lips and heart, in her passionate sorrow, \u2014 She was overcome with confusion, aud could scarcely raise her eves to her lover\u2019s as he hurriedly requested her to inform her father that he would wail upon him 1a the morning to make his adieu.Tarly the next morning, Eugenie sought her father in the library, and with as much calmness as she con'd command, related the occurrence of the preceding evening.The General, surprised and sgitated, ex- claimed\u2014 «Is it possible that vou love this man whom yourejected 1 «Ag sincerely as my doparted mother must have loved you in your youth; but 1 could not make lonely the hoarth of our home ; 1 could not forsake you, my father.\u201d «You are an angel, Eugeine ! The best daughter that ever blessed a father\u2019s heart,\u2014 the woman he loved.Under such extraordinory circumstances Captain Hamilton soon obtained leave to delay for a short time his depaiture for England, and in the course of a week, his marriage with Eugenie took place, with all the rites of the English and Roman churches.Of course, the bridegroom was pronounced elegant in white gloves and waistcoat; and the bride adorable in aatin and orange blossoms.The usnal number of jokes and champaigne botiles were cracked, at the expense of the latter.Then followed forced smiles, blessings, tcars, the parting.room which had once been Engenie\u2019s, over a harp whose strings the delicate fingers of the most loved, might wake no more, leaned a pale and fair-haired vouth, weeping wildly and bitterly, with the feelings that his twined hears had been torn asunder.That night in his own room sat a tall and handsome man, yet in the golden meridian of life, gazing mournfully ou the portrait of a beautiful girly in o skating costume, which hung against the opposite wall.There was a strange quivering in the lip of the soldier, a strange glistening in his eye.Then he i drew from his breast another picture, and he 1 gazed on that till the smile of the lover shone through the tcars of the father.! oo It is evening\u2014the first evening at sea, and Captain Hamilton and his bride are on deck, walching the last point of American land, as it fades into the ble of the horizon : «The winds blow fair\u2014the vessel fecls - The pressure of the rising breeze; And swiftest of a thousand kecls, She leaps to the careeting seas ?\u201d = Eugenie\u2019 sweet cyes fig filled with tests ! ec That night, hour after hour, in the lonely | TR.TEs, 3.Sn IRA IHR er PE - 0 revo oe se Re AA tr «AN t e Saran En ER de WT EE AE \u201cAdieu, dear adopted land ! father, brother, adieu, adieu!\u201d Hor husband folds her to his bosom, and wiispers\u2014#Yon have resigned much to foi- low me,\u201d \u201cYes, all, home, Gicads, and it may be, my; con religion.And now, enr Guorge, she auds, sismpiling througu hor tears, Swill you not ad- wit that Napoleon was the greatest hero thee worl] has ever known 73 Yes, ves, Teield at Just; but in return for this gconcession, Fiat e the liberty, wy dite Bonarparti-t wile, of Lissing you vi the Fu- pororts cho ll\u201d ORNAMENTAL TREES, We hope that none of our friends will for get that this is the season to provide for the beauty and elegance, and comfort and cou-: venience of hades.Who that has Leen sheltered (rom the heat of a sumer sky, and reposed in the coolness of umbrageeus walks, will grudge à little labor during the spring, 10 augment the nanber of ornamentai trees 1\u2014 Within à few years there has been a growing disposition to impiove the sticels of villages ond private coclezures in this respeety ond nothing can be more grateful to the eye or more conducive to health than the quantity and freshocss of linge which in some places conceal our walls and protect streets from the glare of a burning =un.But there is still room for adding to this\u2019 must accoptate of all embeltishiments For odrselves we had rather sce our stiects and | pu'sie grounds adored and refreshed with! verdure, than crowded with piles of monu- nents) marble as high as heaven.More beautifnl isthe cedar of Lebanon than ail tie pyramids of Egypt.We hope thatthe iuhal- Haats of our village will attend to this matter thes spring.There is not « private enclosure | Hast mighty (Mareh 16).AUSTRIA, The revolution has ceused in Austris ; Met- The ' Mergich has deparv:d; peace prevuils, latest dates from Vienna are to the 17h, | Ulis Enpurial Misjeety bas Leon graciously ipleased, by a royel resolution of the JT, to and the constitution of a re council of Mluiviers, for the dehboration and, exécution Of 1h6 principles laid down in she] Luperial patent of the 15th of March, Tl feonned of Minietors vil! cous-t of the Mn-, ister of Foreign À Tors end of the Honsehoid.the M'nster of the fsteror the Miniter of !

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORY.When God eieated man, he commanded his angels to visit him on earth, and guide him in his way, so that he might foretaste the bliss of the life to come.But lustful man sought after sensual joys in preference to those of heaven, and, growing greedy of worldly fruits began to quarrel with his brethren for the possession of them ; and the guardian angels wept among themselves.But when the strong oppressed the weak, and took from them by force the produce of their soil, Justice rose up sorrowing, and leaving earth, flew back to heaven.And when the weak overcame the strong with falsehood and deccit, and got fron them by cunning what they feared to take by force, Truth rose up sorjuwing, and leaviug earth flew back to heaven, And when the injured went forth to slay their iujurers, and crimsoned the plain with their brother\u2019s blood, Peace rose up sorrowing and flew back to heaven.Thus each bai acthad scared some good angel from the world, until Forgiveness\u2014the most beautiful of all\u2014alone remained behind.And when she heard anger aud revenge whisper dark deeds in man\u2019s cars and counsel them to repeat the wrong that had been done, then she rore up sorrowing and said, «1 will not leave the carth, for man heeded me not.ven 1emainedton carth ;
