IRISH EMIGRANT SOCIETY.
Office, No. 1 Reade Street, New York.
IN couaoquenoe of the great number of complaints which
Uavo for u long tiuiel*>eu made by Emigrants, of frauds
committed upon them in the sending of money to their
friends in Ireland, and to aid and protect tint Emigrant,
? the 1 rish Emigrant Society established a fund, deposited
' in the Bank of Ireland, upon which they draw drafts,
payable at sight, at any of the brunches of the Unnk.
Persons residing out of the city, by enclosing iu a letter
the sum they wish forwarded, with the plainly written
direction to whom and where it is to be paid, will hare the
same remitted.
There is u great advantage in purchasing tlif^ Society's
drafts?that the Bank lius a branch in oach of the princi
pal towns in Ireland, and thus the losaei' by discount, and
otherwise, are avoided.
The Society keeps aii office at No. 22 Spruco street, to
which Immigrants can apply to obtain situations for which*
thuy are tilted.
Orders from employers In the country, Stating the ser
vices required, the wages, and the cheapest modes of con
veyance, and giving a respectable reference, will meet with
prompt attention.
The Society will he thankful for all circumstantial and
early information of any fraud, imposition, or outrage
committed on Immigrants, and will endeavor speedily to
apply a remedy. GREGORY DILLON, President.

'I ho exhibition in the Crystal Palace sc-ims to
ll!ld its orig?n with Prince Albert and
some tavam with whom he is associated, and
with whom he consults. Whether the idea,
originated with him, or was suggested by others
to him, is of little consequent, so far as his i
own reputation is concerned. In either case
he 13 entitled to great credit. He has added a
wreath of fame to his previous honors, wlilch
lew princes, comparatively, have had either the
opportunity or the disposition to obtain. 1?he
purpose was a benevolent one, and in koe ping
with his general character. It seems to have
been reluctantly adopted by the British minis
try, and only under the impulse of Albert's po
sition na prince-consort. They could not run i
the, risk of offending the Queen, in the present
| state of parliamentary majorities, as to do so
! might turn the balance against them upon the
first occasion of important defeat. They know
by the history of England, the serious effects
of a Queen's resentment, or even that of one
! near the person, aud possessing the ear of
I majesty. Lord John Russell is a g00d histo
rian, and has himself written well. He knows
the consequences that have attached to spilling
a cup of tea on a lady's gown, and those of
spreading a costly garment for a lady's feet.
But after being forced to take up the pur
pose, the British ministry proceeded with a
tolerably good grace and with general wisdom
in carrying it out. Proposals for a plan of tho
building were published, and two hundred and
forty-five plans submitted for examination,
these came from different individuals of dif
ferent countries. Mr. Paxton, gardener of the
I?uke of Devonshire, proposed glass. Hesita
InH ^ "luctance were> by hi* able arguments
and sketches, changed to approval. In the
hot-houses of the Duke he had learned the
properties or powers of glass, and was, by his
native genius, able to expound them.
The materials for the building, principally of
glass and iron, were to be collected, and per
sons found capable of constructing it safely and
skilfully. In England they were not wanting.
It was built at a cost of over 79,000 pounds
sterling, or upward of $382,800.
The building proved, when finished, well
adapted to the great object in view; and on
the first of May, 1851, was opened. Appro
priate quarters had been assigned to different
countries, and the arrangements in this respect
were highly judicious. The Russian autocrat
and the American republic were each furnished
with accommodating ppace. They had, as had
all others, a fair field for this intellectual and I
mechanical conflict. There came to that arena
the Russian, to show his progress from the age
in which, in a certain sense, it had begun?the
age of Peter the Great. The proud descendant
of that monarch sent forward the proofs of
mechanical skill, such as the arts afforded
which have been cultivated in his country since
the time of Peter the sbip-carpcnter and shoe
maker?for in his zeal to introduce the arts
into Russia, Peter the Great learned both these
arts.
The American Republican was there with the
products of his skill and intellect, and some of
liis raw materials. Some strong argument was to
be deduced from the articles exhibited, of rela
tive mutual progress in the respective countries,
and iu which of them moral and political insti
tutions had been most promotive of human ad
vancement. The monarchies were exultant;
the great body of the exhibitors were monarch
ists, as were nine-tenths of the judge#; there
wn? not tho lonst room to suspect any bias to
ward any production or invention of a republic;
and if it at all succeeded, it must be by the mere
force of its own merits. Those going thither,
clad in the garments of a democracy, were as
uncouth to the eye of the vast majority of the
spectators and judges as Ulysses in rags to the
eyes of the suitors on the festal day, when the
hand of Penelope was to be won by him who
could draw the bow of the renowned chieftain.
Tho feeling with which the American contribu
tors were received and viewed is well described
in the homely but vigorous lines of Punch:
" \ ankee Doodle aent to tnwn
His jronda for exhibition;
Every body ran him down,
And laughed at bis position."
If. then, in the sequel he should bear off any
great prize, it would be from no doubtful cause;
it would be in a case as clear as sunshine. Pal
mam qui meruit ferat would be truly said of all
laudation he might receive, and of every medal
given him. Days and nights passed in which
the porcupine quills of the press wcro fretfully
thrust at the Americans, who sometimes no
doubt were irritated and wounded. The yacht
America was probably not regarded as more
likely to win the race than the American reaping
machine was deemed worthy a prize of the first I
class ! This last, after grave deliberation, and
consultation no doubt, with British or other me
chanicians, tho Timet described previous to trial
as a hybrid between a chariot, a carriage and a
wagon. That journal also described the Ameri
can ploughs with similar ludicrous epithets and
jeers. But the flippant sayings of national pre
judice or inadequate intellect do not pass mus
ter with men of real science; nor does the man
of genius and experience, who is really a pro
found inventor, hide his head for the laugh of
such inferior critics as ho has often to encoun
ter., The Americans did not run away from
the great exhibition, although by these prelimi
nary displays of British courtesy they were
invited to do so! They might safely appeal, in
consciousness of good intentions and utilitarian
results, from tho diatribes of the press and the
censorious surmises of the crowd, to those in
telligent and impartial men who constituted the
jurors.
The day came for real trial, and in all inven
tion and skill of the greatest practical utility
we will not claim tb^&t the United States were
superior, but we will, claim and insist, by the
record, that they were equal to the foremost.
The American ploughs were at a premium ; the
American reaping-machine received a medal of
the first class; McCormick, the inventor, (a
native, we are proud to say, of Old Virginia!)
was exalted into an intellectual and moral hero !
The pocket nerve of England was touched, and
she responded with a voice that reached the
Timet and all its coadjutors?and they retreated
with the best possible grace I
But the American exhibitor# held in reserve
some further achievements :
" Ono venturous game this hand has playedito-day ;
Another, princes, yet remains to play.
Swift an the word the whizzing arrow sings,
Aud bears thy fate, Antinous, on its wings!"
Swift through the ocean wave, at British
challenge, glides the yacht America, and dis
tances all competitors ! Even British mortifi
cation was drowned in British admiration at
thia victory. It was so unexpected, and in a
point in which British feeling is peculiarly sen
sitive ! The flag that for a thousand years had
braved the battle and the breeze, was consid
erably lowered. We do them the justice to say
that their deportment on this occasion did
them great credit, and is a strong proof of
merit in themselves. Let the applause they
abundantly bestowed on the America check in
us all feelings of hostile exultation.
But in this brief summary let us not omit
Colt's revolvers. These must prove to the au
tocrat of tho North that although the armies of
Russia have been numerous, and her military
commanders thick as leaves in Vallambrosa,
the Russian institutions are not favorable to
inventive genius, however auspicious they may
be to imitation ! And the nations generally
represented at the great Fair may recognise
more of truth than melody in Punch's lines?
"Your gunsmiths of their skill may crack,
But that again don't mention;
I guess that Colt's revolvers whack
Their very first invention 1"

Oh this U wo! Oh this is wo!

OH, THE WITHRRKD BOUQUET.
[Concluded.]
Now, when I thought thnt it was possible for
Gottlieb to love as strongly as myself, and to
love the same object, I was struck with terror.
The studious boy could not rival tho bold, hand
some hunter in his gay dress; for he was a
man likely to win where he would, and I shrank
from the" idea of tho unworthy rivalry that
might thus ensue. That, at least, I would have
nothing to do with. This day would I know
my fate?that hour I determined to myself thnt |
1 would tell to Nina all my love, my hopes, and
my fears, and she herself should choose.
These thoughts overpowered mo. What if she
should really love Gottlieb best ? What was to ,
bcoome of me in that event ? Shut out from
the love-light of her countenance forever, what 1
could recompense me for my great loss ? what
heal the vast sorrow I must necessarily feel ?
Suddenly I found myself under Nina's win- |
dow. I heard her voice singing one of the
songs I had taught her, and its tone made inc
thrill from head to foot. I could not have |
spoken a word to her then had tho universe
been at stake. 1 could not have stood in lier
presence, had it been to save my life. The awe
and the dread of that moment was enough to ,
overwhelm me. I hastened away, with tho
voice still ringing in my cars. |
I went into the woods, and sought the dark,
sombre pool, where the lilies grew, and my
heart was as heavy and sad as the pool itself
was still and silent, though at other times it
nsed to speak to me in its own figurative and
suggestive language, and a chill like a breath
from a charnel-house made me shiver. Oh, my
heart! my heart! was it not a foreboding ?
I gathered the lilies, sat on the bank, and
placed them beside me. I waked up from a
reverie into which I had fallen, and they were
withered and dead, their beauty gone, their
odor still remaining, like a memory ; u mat ?
me very sad. ?nd 'Nina's
lUies wcrTdead',"and I could not throw them
^ They died, and an hour after I gathered more.
They were white, pcrfect, beautifu . They were
without spot or stain, and I smiled as I said to
myself, <'they are like my peerless Nma, and
my heart then rose to my throat. 1 grasped
the air, and sobbed as I saw the radiant yiaioa
vanish.
1 gathered more. I tied them together with,
a ribbon that Nina had once given me with a
locket in which she had placed a ringlet of her
silken huir. That I wear yet, and it will go
with me into my coffin. I roBe and walked
sndly out of the forest, nnd found myself once
more under Nina's window. Her voice waa
still thrilling through the chamber; it camo
clear nnd tweet into the air, and mingled with
the song of the linnets in the mulberry tree. I
leaned my head on my hand, and, casting my
eyes on the lilies, found they were fuding.
The flowers seemed to have loBt their vitality
that day. Why, I did not care to ask. I took
out my bouquet?my withered pansies: they
were " lieart's-ease," but not to me, for my
heart was ill at ease. I laid the lilies on tho
window-sill, and left the spot. 1 knew she had
them, for, as I went away, 1 heard her voice
say?"Karl, is it thou?" and I trembled. Her
" voice was Boft, gentle, and low, an excellent
thing in woman," as a great writer says; and I
felt its truth in all its power.
The day went by and I was restless, and I
wandered forth again. \ es by the forest
fountain, cavcrned by the umbrageous trees?
while tho waters bubbled?while the leaves
clattered ? while the birds sang?while God
made human hearts glad?while calmly, so
lemnly, I enjoyed the quiet beauty of that grand
sacristy?there I suddenly saw them twain?
Gottlieb and Nina.
lie was leaning against a rock, bare-headed-?
his good gun slung on his shoulder?his eyea
fixed on Nina's face. Oh, Nina! Nina! how
that face of thine then fascinated, for I?I?
alas! 1 can remember it now; and?but this is
not to the purpose.
It was all light that face was then. It waa
all love ! The eyes poured forth the feeling?
the lips conceived the expression. What fata
carried me then to the fountain?
She was placing a flower in his hat. She waa
looking up into his face and laughing. He waa
grave, however, and somewhat pale. Had he
been telling her his secret? Had he been
making his confession? I wrung my hands aa
j least my hat down under tho forest-fountain,
for the air was hot and suffocating. To listen
would have been a crime?to look ! it was no
crime; but oh! tho severity of that punish
ment !
Then he spolco out?I know not what; and
she grew grave in turn. I could see that her
cheek whitened, and that, while she was silent
as the dead, she listened with all her soul. I
could no longer doubt, and I refused to believe.
What bad 1 done to you, Gottlieb, that you
should try to rob me of my love ?
To listen was infamy. My heart revolted
from it, and yet I could not tear myself from
the spot. For just when I had gathered up nay
energies to go from thence, 1 beard her voice,
deep, tremulous?mnjeBtic in its great solem
nity?and she said to him?
"Yes, Gottlieb, 1 do?I will. There's my
hand, and with it my troth !"
Terrible w ords to me; but what must they,
on the other hand, have been to him. The
gates of promise opening out into the field of
life, golden with flowers and green with gar
lands?I, alas! was casting my eyes towards
the grave. Had she so entirely forgotten me ?
No ! God be praised ! no?not quite.
"Gottlieb!?Gottlieb!" she said in such a
tone?such tenderness, "what will Karl think?
what will he say ? and you know how be loves
me. Will it not be cruel ?"
" Poor Karl," said Gottlieb, and I heard no
more. 1 did not faint, nor cry out, nor grow
revengeful?wrathful?wickcd ! Ah, dear God !
no?why should 1 interfere with the course of
her true heartfelt love ? 1 then knew that he
had saved her life, and had a claim upon her.
I trust I did not injure him by an unworthy
feeling.
I could see her no more after; and when I
lay ill in my bed, and death seemed coming to
me, it would have been very welcome. 1 had
only my poor withered pansies to look upon as
her relic. Her eyes, her face, her sweet white
hands, 1 was never to look on or to touch again.
"Adieu, Nina!" said I, when I looked at them
now falling asunder leaf by leaf in my hands.
I know not how I got up on the morning that
I heard they were to be married, but I did so;
and not a living soul knew of it. My godfather,
who sat by my pillow day nnd night, was worn
out with watching, and 1 stole forth and was in
the church ere the bridal party came.
I saw them kneel at the altar. "Nina! thou
wert very cruel, methiuks. lie could never love
thoe as 1," so I mused to myself. They were
kneeling at the altar, and I heard their voices
vow to love and cherish each other. Her voice
was strong and firm. His was loud and manly.
They both swore truly. Little did they know
who was sacrificed to this terrible fidelity.
No, Nina?not to him who adored thee, didst
thou come or send. I pined for her fnce and
saw it not. When I knew it was another's, 1
turned my fnce to the wall and desired to be at
peace. I still carried the pansies on my breast?
they were not heart's ease.
It was not autumn with me?it was winter?
The winds were singing dirges over my hopes.
Oh, heart! heart! what didst thou not suffer ?
Yet I blessed Nina and her husband when it
ached most.
