Fur trulhfulncsn of passion simplicity of ex-
pression and kwccOiobh of musical effect it litis
rarely been excelled. it unites the deep fer-
vid feeling of the curly ballad with that liner
motricnl finish which wc ilnd in Coleridge

is its own air and never should he set to any
|othcr. A pcrfect poem needs no other music;
than its own melody and rhythm When
these nrc each per fee I in itself and hoth in mil-
Ion wu have a poem that never should he sung.

The Merchant's Daughter and the Judge.
A TAI.E OF Tint PAST.
The two vowel* joined mid the mimic ? om

uiii|>hcil over the |Up to this point the
merchant boro l>is pangs in nilenpe but when
the Knglhdi galley had n^unied the victory
then came tlic trial of patience. KfligicH of the
cardinal* were hurled into the Htrcmn amidst
the shouts and derisions of the inoh. At ench
plunge gvnans issued from his tortured breast.
It was in vain that I'milin clung to his ami and
implored him l>y every fenr to restrain him-
Hclf. Ili.s religious y.cnl overcmne his pru-
dence; and when at last the figure ?f the Pope
dressed in his pontiflcial roben was hurled in-
to the tide the loud exclamation of agony
mid horror burnt from bis lip*: "Oh mom
RtroUB impiety of an nceurNcd and wiorilogioutJ
King!" founded loudly above the din of the
mob.
It was enough the unhappy merchant w as
immediately consigned over to the secular
arm.
Oh! s?d were those prison hours! the girl
told lior bend*?the father prayed to nil the
saints?and then nunc the vain consolation
by which one mdcavured to client the other.
They thought of their own sunny land it?
balmy air its living beauty and that thought
was home.
November ctmo with gloom?the month
that should have been the grade of the year
j coming as it does with shroud and cerecloth
foggy dark and dreary the father's brow num-
bered more wrinkles the once black hair was
j more nearly bleached the features more atten-
uated.
And the diiughtor?ah! youth is the trans-
] nrent lain]* of hope?but in her the light was
dim.
In fear nnd trembling the unhappy foreigners
waited the day of doom. The merchant's of-
fence was one little likely to meet with mercy.
Henry was jealous of his title of head of the
church. He had drawn up a code of articles
of belief which his subjects were desired to
subscribe to; he had instituted a court of
which he had made Lord from well Vicar Gen*
oral for the express train of those whoso
orthodoxy in tho King's creed was callcd in
i question. Neither Could tho unlrippy mer-
chant hopo to find favor with the judge for it
waH known that Cromwell was strongly at-
tached to the growing reformation; and from
the acts of severity with which he had lately
visited some of the adherents of the Homish
creed in his new character of Viear-(Jcncral
it was scarcely probably that he would show
mercy to one attached by lincago and love to
papal Home. Strangers as they wore poor
unknowing and unknown what bad they not
to fear and what was left to hopo?
Tho morning of trial ctmo. Tho fogR of
; that dismal month spread like a dark vail ov. r
! our North. There was no beauty in the land*
' scape no light in the heavens and no hope in
the heart.
The judge" took their places; a'Towd of
wretched delinquents come to receive their
| doom. We suppose it to bo a refinement of
1 modern days that men are not punished for
i ?heir rrjmi'i b'.'i oji!v to deter otbirs (Votn
committing them. This court of Henry's
?M ejnol to think otherwise. There was all the
array of human passions in the judges ns well
an the judged. (>u one hand recreant lear ab-
jured hicreed; on another heroism braved
nil eontingences courting the pile ami tho ?t.*i^<
with even passionate desire and tho pile and
the stake Were given with unrelenting cruelty
At length' then stood at 'he bar an aged
man and a outhft||. nirl; the long white h- ir
of the one fell loosely o\ir the shoulders ami
left nmhaded a face w tinkled as ntuch by cart
a ? by tljr ; the dark loftks of th?oUur Were
bridid over a countenance clouded by sorrow
and wet with tear*
I he linn kei> of trial went on. It was ea>y
to prove v\ lmt even the ? riminal did not attempt
to gall <av. Tho aged merchant avowid his
lldelii\ to the IV?pv as a true <on of the Church;
denied liw supremacy of Hei?r\ over any part
of She fold and thus Mated his own doom.

The sou mi struck upon CnimweU'a car his
??ye sought the place whence it proceeded ; it
rented on Kmilia and her lather. A strange
emotion passed over the fine of the stern judge
?a perfect still lies followed.
L?<rd Cromwell broke thoKilence. He glauc-1
; ed over the noted that had been handed to
him speaking apparently to himself: " From
Italy a merchant?Milan? ruined by (lie warn
j ?nv thoHc Milan wars were owing toClemeut'H
| ambition and Charles's knavery?the loss of!
i substance?to Knglaml to reclaim an old in-'
dcbtiuent."
Iioril Cromwell's eye rented once more upon
the merchant and his daughter. " Ye are of
j Italy; from Milan is that your birth-place?"
"We are Tuscans" replied the mereliant of
? Lucca : "and oh! noble lord if there Ih nicrev
in thin and show it now to thin mdiappy girl!"
" To both or loneither!" exclaimed the girl;
" wo will live or die together I"
The Vicar-General made answer to neither. '
Ho rose abruptly; at a sign from him the pro-!
per ollicer declared the court adjourned. The ;
| sullcrers were hurried back to their cell; Home !
I went whither they would?other* whither
j they would not; but all disappeared.
j A faint and solitary light gleamed from a !
I chink of the prison wall?it came from the 1
narrow cell of the Italian merchant and h.s j
daughter.
'I he girl slept?ay slept. Sleep does not al-
ways leave the wretched to light on litis unsul-!
lied with a tear. Header hast thou knowm '
intense misery and canst thou remember how 1
thou hast felt and wept and agoni/.ed until
the very excitement of the misery wore out
the body's power of endurance and sleep like
a torpor a stupor a lethargy bound thee in its
chains ? Into such a sleep had Kmilia fallen.
She was lying on the prison floor her face pale
as if ready for the grave the largo tears yet
1 reating upon her chocks; and over her sat the
merchant thinking what a treasure she was
and had ever been to him?he could wisil that
sleep to be the Bleep of death.
The clanking of a key caught the merchant's
ear; a gentle step entered the prison. The
father's llrst thought was for his child lie
made a motion to enjoin silence; it was obeyed
His visitor advanced with a quiet tread; the
merchant looked upon him with wonder. ~
Surely?no?and yet should it be! that his
fudge Lord Cromwell the Vicar-General
stood before him and stood not with thoatcn-
j ing in his eye not with denunciations on his
: lips but took his stand on the other aide of
Kmilia gazing upon lit* with an eye in which
pity and tenderness were conspicuous.
Amazement bound up the faculties of the
merchant. He seemed to himself an one that
drcamcth.
" Awake gentle girl awake" said Lord
Cromwell as he stooped over Kuiiliu " Let
mo hear thy voice once more as it sounded in!
mine ear in other days."
The gentle accents fell too light to break the 1
??pell of that heavy slumber and the merchant!
whoso fears feelings and eonfusion formed a
perfect chaos stooping over his child suddenly
awoke her with the cry of " Kmilia! Kmilia!
awake and behold our judge!"
"Nay nay not thus roughly" said Lord
J Cromwell; but the sound had already called'
I Kmilia ton sense of wretchedness. She hall
j raised herself from her recumbent posture into
a kneeling one shadowing her da/./.led eyes!
with her hand her streaming hair falling In!
j wild disorder over her shoulders and thus
resting at the feet of her judge.
" Look on me Kmilia" said Lord Cromwell
and encouraged by th?? gentle accents she
: I'OML'11 her tear-swollen eyes to bin fiiae. As she
?liil ho the Vicar-General lifted front his brow

"Table Moving" iu Vienna.
A few days i<inee llio Augshurg Gazette eon
tallied it letter nil " Table Moting" which
immeeliately excited n mixed feeling of curio*-
ily ninl incredulity here. Curiosity however
prevailed and for llio lns( three days thu Vien-
nese have thought ami hpoken of nothing hut
the new American discovery. Of the iimtuu-'
endi!e cxpcriemcntK made many have hcen
unsuccessful. An oye-witnesH state* that on
Sunday afternoon live mcmbere of our Juridieo
I'o'.itii al Heading Union men of ditl'crcnt
atrca; seated themselves around a small table
with double feet and formed a magnetic chiun
according to the instructions given by l?r.
A mil ce of IJrcmvn iu the above mentioned
letter. In nu hour and a quarter the rotary
commenced. The ex| erimeut was made in the
preseuco of fifty persons.
The Wiener Zeitung yesterday evening
mmle mention of two other eases iu hoth of
which the tables were broken. Yesterday
evening the experiment was tried in my pre- j
senee at the house of a friend. A round
veneered dining table having three atnut leg s
resting on one bftse was placed on the "par- j
?plotted" floor (l?r. Amin e recommends n
carpet) of the room. Hound the tahle three
Indies and live gentlemen placed theiiwobe*
and formed a magnotic chain w hich is effected
! by each | erson laying his hand * liglitly on the
margin of the table and placing the little linger
of his right hand on that of bio neighbor's
left. Tho chairs must he a foot apart and
care taken that none of the dresses come iu |
contact. The feet must not touch the tattle.
All rings nml hi ocelots in the cone now related
were removed.
After the experiment hnd lasted about an hour
the table began to exhibit an almost impercep-
tible undulating movement. Some minute" it
j was convulsively jerked to the riuht and left I
I atid dually it turned to the right on its own
axis with such velocity that tho persons form-
ing the chain who had in tlx* meantime risen
w ere obliged to run in order to keep pace with
the new fashioned locomotive. The movement
was so violent that llio hy-ntamloi'H were soon
obliged to relievo tho original actors. When
one person left tho chain and another entered
there was a slight interruption of the electric
stream hut in two or three minutes tho fable
was dancing about tho room ns before.
In the course of tho experiment which al-
together lasted two hours and a quarter it
became evident thnt some poisons po. scm ft i
greater mngtu tic powers than others. If when 1
a chain had boon formed the tablo seemed dis- j
inclined to continue lis exertions one gentle-
man a man of strength and size could ahvayN
immediately oroiiMc its dormant energies. This
circumstance induced nome person* to fancy:
that by pressing the palms of his hands fore I ? j
hie on the table lie Ravej It an in tillcinl iuq etus;
but to convince them that such was not the I
case he honked his little flngi is Into those of
his neighbors and barely touched the table
with the tips of his thumbs. If the dic*s ol
any link in the chain was touched the e!cc
trio fluid escaped and the (aide stood still; and
the same effect win produced if touched I y a
by slander. The ivii'wlUiiis experienced by ;
the sentimentalists be lor? the magnetic fluid .
was cqiHly distributed through all the links
of tho chain were very dillercut but the moat
common were heat tingling and pulsation in.
the hnnds and arms and pains in the head.
In two cason I ad i? s fainted; but this is hardly
calculated to excite surprise ns there is noun
thing weird in the whole a flair. An n>ttnt of.
