smiling look on her little innocent, smoOthed
back the curling hair which clustered around
that lovely forehead, and the mother imprint-
ed one long fond kiss ON the brow OF her
child.
The wagon passed on, and inquired the
name Of the victim whose appearance had so
interested me. Ii was Malesherbes-ihe
honest and able minister-the undaunted adj
vocate-the kind and true friend of Lewis
Capet-accompani by his daughter the Mar
chioness Rochambo, and her child, about TO
die on the scafTold But the child 7 Surely
they would not murder the child Why not
The old mans crime was his innocence and
purity Of character, how then could the child
escape The wagon was drawn before the
guillotine and all was soon ready for the first
execution Malesherbes stood nearest the
steps and was about TO descend, when sa-
wage voice cried out, the child first The
old man would have demonstrated, but his
child checked him. Ills but for moment
-shc raised the child in her arms, and her
self handed il to the executioner. The little
creature frightened by the savage looks Of
the man cried out Don't leave income
with me don't leave me- IL will not leave
you my child will be with you in mo-
ment The child was paciied, and the moth
er turned towards her aged parent and buried
her face in his neck he bent forward until
his white hair flowed over her shoulders
Thus they saw nothing-yet they were so
near that they must have heard the jerk OF the
string that loosed the ponderous axe-and its
clatter as it fell. A strong shudder shook
the form Of the mother, but when the execu-
toner called out now for the woman she
raised her placid face from her fathers neck
kissed his cheek-'for a brief moment,
farewell, my father She stepped with a
light firm tread from the wagon, mounted the
scaffoid, and in moment she was with her
child.
Malesherbes came next; he had summon
ed all his energies for the last scene in his
lifes drama, and played it nobly. Never in
the proudest days of his power had the min
lister looked or moved with loitier dignity
With wave of his hand he repulsed the
rude advance of one Of the guard, who would
have assisted his descent from the wagon
Self-sustained in body as in mind, he adj
vanced slowly to the scailold-evcn the fiends
allowed him to place himself unassisted upon
the platform They wotld have bound him,
but he give forbidding look it was enough ,
the exccutioncr retired; the plank was pushed
forward; and for momen. the old man must
have seen, in the basket below, the heads of
his children. The additional pang. if it was
one, was short the executioner jerked the
string, and all was over.

WILLIAM GOFFE,

One of the Resicides, and Major General
under Cromwell, left London before the re-
storation, in company with General Whalley,
and arrived in Boston in June 1860. They
were kindly received by Gov. Endicott, and
resided at Cambridge till Feb. 1861, when the
intelligence reached there that they were not
included in the act Of indemnify they then
removed to New Haven, and were secreted
by the principal inhabitants. They after
wards resided for some time on West Rock,
and in the neighboring towns. But in 1904,
they removed to Hadley, Massachusetts, and
remained concealed fifteen or sixteen years
in the house of the Rev. Mr. Russell When
the Indians attacked that town in 1875, and
threw the inhabitants, who were assembled
for worship, into the utmost confusion, COTE,
entirely unknown by them, white with age, of
a. commanding aspect, and clothed in an
unusual dress, suddenly presented himself
among them, and encouraging them by his ex-
hortations, placed himself at their head, and
led them by his military skill, to an immediate
victory. The battle had scarcely terminated
when he disappeared, and the people, alike
ignorant of the place from whence he came,
and of his retreat, regarded him as an angel
sent for their deliverance. He died in Hadley,
it is supposed, about the year 1879.

COL. TRUMBULL,

The venerable and distinguished historical
painter, was in town last week. He is nearly
eighty-two years Of age, and yet retains his
faculties almost mimpaired. His sight Is
good, his nerves steady, his hearing perfect,
and his memory apparently nnimpaired. The
worthy Colonel is bent little with age, and
walks somewhat feeble, but no one would
suspect him much beyond sixty. His con-
versation is spirited and full Of anecdote, his
language forcible aud clear, and his yivacity
of manner delightful. Notwithstanding his
advanced years, he is journeying alone, hav-
Springs, and arrived here with the intention
of seeing his excellent and worthy revolu-
tionary contemporary, General Nation. We
were sorry to find him absent from Amherst,
on visit to his children at the west
Col. Trumbull occupies a conspicuous place
in the history of this country. He was aid TO
Gen. Washington in the revolutionary army,
and we believe is the only officer now living.
who was closely associated with him in mill
tary and social life. Colonel rruinbull has
passed through many most interesting scenes
and met with more stirring incidents and
singular vicissitudes of life, perhaps, than any
other American now living. He was in Lon
don, he says, at the time the news of the
execution of Andre arrived. Public exaspe-
ration was very great, and the populace, as
well as the government, seemed to be looking
about them Tor an American, to offer up as
sort of expiation. The Coloncl's rank and
military standing seemed to designate him as
the individual, and he was arrested by the
government and kept in confinement seven
months. He was finally liberated by the in
terposition Of West, the eminent Painter, with
whom Col. Trumbull was then studying.
When he went to London as Secretary to
Mr.. Jay, he wore a suit of silk smal-clothes,
manufactured in Connecticut more than forty
years since, and at public dinner there, a
great silk weaver, from Spitalfelds expressed
extreme qualification at the superiority of the
article, business which the venerable Colo
mel expressed himself pleased to learn, was
now successfully being prosecuted in North
ampton.
The fame Of Col. Trumbull as an Historical
Painter, is proud and enviable one, The
world over. His great masterpiece, the
Declaration of Independence, now in the
Rotunda at Washington, is his favorite work,
and probably cost him more labor than any
other production. He copied, he remarked,
the head OF almost every member who signed
the Declaration, from nature, having visited
Mr.. Adams for that purpose, in London, and
Mr.. Jefferson in Paris. The "Irumbull Gal
lery," at New Haven, contains many of his
finest productions, Gallery of which he
Justly feels proud, and which aids him with
an annuity, most acceptable to his declining
years. The Colonel has been residing for
many wears in New York He has now
adopted New Haven for his future homc-an
earthly Paradse--where he will pass Sc
renely the evening of life, we doubt not,
universally esteemed and veneratcd-Nmth-
ampton Curitr.

ANECDOTE OF THE FRENCH REVOLT.
U'IDN

Among those the most remarkable, was a
venerable old man, whose bent figure, thin
white hair, high wrinkled forehead, and wi
thered complexion, bespoke the extremity of
age, yet his manners were firm, and he never
forgot for moment, the calm propriety of
his demeanor. BY his side stood woman
now no longer young; but retaing much of
the beauty, and all the digni6cd inelcgance of
former days She stood erect, and supported
without effort the arm of the old man, who
leaned heavily upon hers. The other rested
upon the neck Of a fair young girl-a mere
child-not apparently more than ten years
old, whose tear swollen eyes were fixed on
her mothers face, with the sad and touching
melancholy of childish grief. They spoke
not much together; once, as the wagon stop
ped near where | stood, heard the old man
murmur words of patience and encourage
ment to his companion; as he spoke She
turned her eyes towards the child-she gazed
on that fair young face, and all a mothers love
beamed in her eye--the trial was almost too
great-her lip quivered-her face grew more
deadly pale, but in moment by strong efforts,
she banished from her look every appearance
OF weakness. She raised her ewes TO heaven
her lips moved-and then as if her PRAYER
had been answered, she turned bright and
