the cannon in order to fire a federal
salute at the navy yard, Wafhisgton

coming to the ears of the President,
he with that attention to republican
principles which are alike hostile to
tafelefs extravagance and unnecessary
parade, instantly requested that the
ceremony of firing the cannon should
be dispensed with, which of course
was complied with.

Pleasing Hiftory.
PEROUROU:
Or, The BELLOWS MENDER.
A^™W„ , h,, #ls .
BElNGobliged to conceal mv
felfamong the multitude, 1 took
.advantage of my obscurity t@ step
about unnoticed among them,
not a foul fufpeding that the
poor bellows mender, so much
talked of, might be a decently
dressed man, and of appearance
indicating a refpe&able rank in
society. The most ridiculous
stories were published about my
marriage and my absconding. I
was forced to laugh with others,
but was mortified to observe that
they who most amused them
selves at the expence of Aurora
were not the most backward in
declaiming against what they
termed my base conduct. My
own opinion, together with the
advice of my friends, determined
me to quit Lyons, and to deposit
my property in a city where my
name and hiftory where alike
unknown. Paris was the place
of my choice. The immense
population of that city would
better put it in my power to ef-|
cape observation, and I couldl
employ my capital to more ad- 1
vantage. There your friend, but
recently a bellows mender, with;
one hundred thoufahd crowns,|
and the credit of his Lyonefe
friends, established a commercial,
house, which proved fortunate
beyond his expectations. For;
five years I was the favorite of
fortune, and my conscience is my;
witness, that not one of my (pec
ulations ever cost me a blush.
I kept up a brisk correspon
dence with Lyons, and a fortu
nate event efforded me the op
portunity of rendering an effen-I
tial service to one of the firft
bankers of that city. His grat
itude prompted him to fend me
# a pressing invitation to visit him,l
as he earnestly wished for my t
acquaintance. I yielded to his;
solicitations, as well as to gratify
my desire to breathe the lame air
with my beloved Aurora. I fat
out for Lyons with an equipage,
domestics, and every thing in the
firft stile of dress and appearance ;
but for the firft time, nothing of
all this was borrowed, and the
happy effects of my industry
promofed a continuance of pros
perity. My old friends scarcely
knew me, fothat it was not dif
ficult to escape the observation
of more recent acquaintance.
Without deeming to have any
concern or interest in the mat
ter, I talked of the famous law
fait which five years before had
Ifo much interested the wholes
city, and concluded with asking
some general questions about
Aurora and her family, as a
thing of course, and in whichl
had no particular concern. I
learnt that my wife's father was
dead a short time before, and that
from_confiderable losses in busi
ness, together with fondnefs of
public offices, and his expensive
education of his daughter, he had
left his affairs in such a bad situ
ation that Aurora had scarce a
ny resource left for her main
tenance, except a kind of depen
dance upon the bounty of the
mother Abbess, with whom she
still continued. I also well knew
that besides the general concern
for her welfare, me had ever in
spired me with, her condua and
behavior had been such as to fe
fure her as much esteem and ad
miration as ever : For every one
observed that the bellows mender
had not given himfelf the least
trouble to reclaim the right and
propriety in her which had been
wrested from him.
