Republican gives the following history

of this production, which the London

Spectator has pronounced the fines: poem

ever written in America. In the early

part of the war, one dark Saturday night

in the dead of winter, there died in the

Commercial Hospital, in Cincinatti, a

young wo0 man, over whose head only two

and twenty summers had passed, She had

been once possessed of an enviable share

of beauty, and had been, as she herself

says, " flattered and sought for the

charms of the face," but alas ! upon her

fair brow had been written that terrible

history of thousands. Highly educated

and acconm plished in manners, she might

have shone in the best society. But the

evil hour that proved her ruin came, and

having spent a young life in disgrace

and shame, the' poor friendless one died

the melancholy death of a broken hearted

outcast. Among her per! sonal effects

was found, in M.S, " The beau. tiful

Snow,", which was immediately carried to
