cied slights because her husband was only in trade that she was soon glad to bring him back to this side of the Atlantic. Again, it is to be remembered that we cannot get back to our old home by merely crossing the ocean for it; it has changed, even as our old homes in this country have changed, and perhaps more than they. The London of to-day is not even that of Dickens and Thackeray, much less that of Milton and Defoe; nor is the Paris of to-day that of Petrarch, which he described (in 1333) as the most dirty and ill-smelling town he had ever visited, Avignon alone excepted. Already we have to search laboriously for old things and old ways, as the traveller in Switzerland searches for the vanished costumes, such as the Swiss dolls wear. Already we have to go farther East for the old and the poetic; and find even Japan sending us back our own patterns a little Orientalized. The only unchanged past is in literature and in our fancy. It is in the books that most set us thinking

actical, if not theoretic, Ghibellinism), and shared in their attempts to reinstate themselves by force of arms. He was one of their council of twelve, but withdrew from it on account of the unwisdom of their measures. Whether he was present at their futile assault on Florence (July 22, 1304) is doubtful, but probably he was not. From the Ottimo Comento, written at least in part See Witte, Quando e da chi sia composto la Ottimo Comento, etc. (Leipsic, 1847). by a contemporary as early as 1333, we learn that Dante soon separated himself from his companions in misfortune with mutual discontents and recriminations.

the United States, to bring about ajust and honorable adjustment of our national difficulties. National Intelligencer, March 14, 1861. This vote, we may remark, was far from being complimentary to the conduct of a majority of their own commissioners (Messrs. Tyler, Brockenbrough, and Seddon) in the Peace Convention. In the House of Representatives, the amendment proposed by the Convention was treated with Still less respect than it had been by the Senate. Con. Globe, pp. 1331, 1332, 1333. The Speaker was refused leave even to present it. House Journal, pp. 446, 448, 449. Every effort made for this purpose was successfully resisted by leading Republican members. The consequence is that a copy of it does not even appear in the Journal. Although the amendment was somewhat less favorable to the South, and ought, therefore, to have been more acceptable to the North than the Crittenden amendment, yet like this it encountered the opposition of every Republican member in both

are a rare object of curiosity and interest. The genealogy of the Lee's, of Virginia, from 1666--just where this pedigree breaks off — is well known, and may be found in Bishop Meade's well-known work on "The Old Churches and Families of Virginia." The manuscript commences abruptly with the name of "Hugo de Lega, or de Le," without date. The first name with date is that of John de Lee, Miles, to whom Hugo de Hinton gave the lands, as by the old chart. Opposite this name is the date 1333. The father of John de Lee was Thomas de la Lee. The simple name of Lee occurs first as Ricardus Lee, of Langly, about the year 1500.--The first name of Robert is Robertus de la Lee, son of John de la Lee; he married Margarita, daughter and heir of Thomas Astly, of Nordly, about 1400.--The first name written in English is Thomas Lee, of Cotton, in King's Nordley, in the Parish of Alvely, who was the son of Johannes Lee. There are several coats of arms on the manuscript. That of Ricardus
