MISCELLANIES.

_Franz von Sickingen_.--Your correspondent "S.W.S." (No. 21. p. 336.)
speaks of his having had some difficulty in finding a portrait of
Franz Von Sickingen; it may not therefore, by uninteresting to him to
know (if not already aware of it) that upon the north side of the nave
of the cathedral of Treves, is a monument of Richard Von Greifenklan,
who defended Treves against the said Franz; and upon the entablature
are portraits of the said archbishop on the one side, and his enemy
Franz on the other. Why placed there it is difficult to conceive,
unless to show that death had made the prelate and the robber equals.

BODY AND SOUL.

(_FROM THE LATIN OF OWEN._)

The sacred writers to express the whole,
Name but a part, and call the man a _soul_.
We frame our speech upon a different plan,
And say "some_body_," when we mean a man.
No_body_ heeds what every_body_ says,
And yet how sad the secret it betrays!
