THE END OF SUMMER.

-”

How solemn a change over all the land From morning to night, this the long calm day— A spirit hath waved her shadowy hand And the glories of summer are fleeting away ! A keen irresistible sleepless power Is the Lord of each new born vassal hour ; Moving on swift and silent wings, Ilis burning arrows abroad he flings— The grey destroyer of all sweet things! Yet cheating the thought, and dazzling the sense With gorgeous enchantment and beauty intense— An awlul handwriting, speaking to all ‘ Of terror and ruin and darkness drear ; Like the warning oa Babylon’s royal wall, Making the proud heart stagger with fear.

By night, there’s a subtle calm in the skies ; A solemn splendour comes with the morn ;

There are tears in our mother Nature’s eyes, And her yoice is tremulous and forlorn ;

You may hear in the stillness a wa:ling sound

Soft floating along the stubble ground ;

For the homeless wind is sweeping by,

And a myriad leaves are stricken and die,

And drifting down in the hollows lie:

Sharply they crinkle under the feet,

Sending up uo crushed odours sweet,

O Nature, thy child the bold bright year Will never rally from that weird breath ;

Sore-stricken he lies in the mooniight clear, On a bed of brown leaves in the Garden of Death.

THE REVOLUTION IN ITALY.

The French are receiving reinforcements every day, but no one in Rome places the least confidence in them, ‘Tie Em- peror is believed by all, and by many of the French them- selves, tobe a scheming hypocrite, endeavouring to destroy the Pope’s authority whilst pretending to uphold it. It is fortunate for France that he is a mere Corsican ; he would be a disgrace to the chivalry of France; he has not a gen- erous or noble feeling in his heart; he is ready to betray every party, and even to sell France to Lord Palmerston and Lord J. Russell for his own vile, selfish purposes. What he will finally do with Rome no one can tell, bat it is certain that when his name is buried in disgrace, and his family ex- tinct, the successors of St. Peter will continue to reign from the Vatican. Nero crucified St. Peter; the golden palace of

that mouster is now in ruins, whilst the remains of the Fisher- |

nan of Gallilee are enshrined in the noblest temple of the world. For the spiritual authority of the Pope there can be no fear; it is fuunded on the eternal words cf Jesus Christ.

Notwithstanding the calumnies of that father of fics, the London Times, it is now proved beyond all doubt that our [rish Volunteers fought like herocs, and prepared themselves like true Christians for the bloody struggle. Every one in g of their dauui!css bravery, and how they swept the enemy before them in theig brilliant charges at Loreto. The "Sardinians- themselves confess that their lo-s in the engagement was enormous. “Those who are not so much interested iu their state that they lost five or six thousand men, though in the end, by their superior numbers, aud biute force, they overpowered the hereie band of the Pope's troops. I have just scen an Italian gentleman from Spoleto, who says that Myles O'Reilly and the [rish under his command performed prodigies of valour, and inflicted severe chastisement on the Sardiniaus; be states that at his departuce from Spoleto, every hospital in the town, the Semi- | nary, the Jesuits’ house, and every other large building, were | filled with Piedmoutese soldiers, wounded and dying; poor

; fellows, what a wicked cause they were suffering for. The

same gentleman states his conviction that not far from 1,000 Sardinians had been put hors de combat. As to the couduct of the lrish before the battle, he says it was most exemplary, that there was scarcely a drunkard ameng them, and that their religious spirit was most edilying.

Since the Sardinian invasion, the greatest disorder pre- vails in the provinces ; nothing but plunder and assassination

Perhaps you may remember the name of Zambianchi. [fe was the monster who, in 1849, put so many unoffending victims to death in the monastery of S:. Callistus in this city. This wicked man is now appearing on the sur- face again ; and, will you believe it, that it is reported that he has been latterly the guest, or vistor, of Sir J. Hudson, the English agent in Turin, the same men who refused to afford any protection to the [rish prisoners® Within the lust two days all the students of the Irish and German Colleges, and of the Propaganda, have taken refuge in the | city, fearing to be assuiled in their country houses by the | Sardinians. The Jesuits have also abandoned all their houses | in the country. It is now reported that the few remaining | troops of the Pope will make another stand behind the Anio | —but what can they do against overwhelming numbers ?— | The Pope is bearing his sufferings with admirable courage ; | he feels that in the end the principle of truth and religion, ;

which he is defending, must triumph. There are various re- | ‘ports about his leaving Rome, but I see no preparations for |

such a step, and I think he will remain here until forced |

‘away by vicleuce. However, there is nothing certain on | offering them the honours of war if they surendered. ()’leilly |

THE FALL OF SPOLETO.

Lamoriciere, it may be necessary to premise—and as you

yourself can perceive by the facts as they will reach you-— |

The Ministry, therefore, decided on t-

and how truly they deserved it. Though my tears fe!l fast enough as [ listened to the story of how the brave fellows fought—fought with the utter desperation of men for whom death had no terrors—fought, knowing there was not on earth a hope for them—knowing that succour or relief there was none at hand,and that the enemy was twenty-fold their num- ber—fought wildly, madly, despairingly, like lions driven to bay ; yet [ am prouder to-day of the name of Irishman thao at any moment to which memory extends. Here there is, [ can assure you, but one subject on the lips of all ; those few who never favoured the Brigade, censuring the “* criminal rashness” of the resistance, and asserting that while nothing

‘has been gained by it, something has been lost, as, apart

from the loss of life, and the ruin of the fortress, better terms might have been obtained by an earlier surrender, The fort- ress isin fragments, it is true; and many of the noble fel- lows lie cold in their graves,all gashed and gory, on the ram- parts close beside ; yet, I mach mistake the heart of Ireland if the news that provokes this military censure here, does not put a flush of pride upou her brow as the tale is told. Be proud of them. Be proud of your brave countrymen 5 for never fought or fell braver at Cremona or Foutenoy. They

‘have well and nobly sustained the glorious name of the Irish

Brigade.

Lamoriciere never dreamed of being able to stand against a power like Sardinia, with twenty times the military strength of the Pope. As well might a child grapple with a prize- fighter.
