noble as well as one of the wisest and riches
young men in all Paris Yet it seemed that hi
heart had never been caught in the snare of Cupid
though many OF the most splendid women o
France bad obiquely acknowledged him the lido
Of their hearts
1t twas late one evening that de Blondville was
returning from the theatre that he heard the cry
distress proceeding from the entrance to small
street, and recognised 1t to be the voice of female
Ever chivalric with proud dev otion to the fan
sex he fastened to the spot, and found man in
the act of forcing lady into a cabriolet
Villain cried de Blondville, release the lady
instantly or this dagger shall avenge her insult
IN the blood of coward And he held the wea-
pom glittering in the light of the full moon.
i do not recognize your right to interfere re-
torted the coachman, the lady by contract is now
the property of the Count de s., and I'm or
dered-'
Another word, sir said de Blondvile, and |
free the world of a villain
The ruffian sprung aside from the descending
dagger, and escaped the blow, at the same instant
releasing the lady from his grasp. No sooner was
she at liberty than she sprung into the arms of de
Blondville, and called upon him. in the name of
chivalry, for protection from fate infinitely worse
than death. De Blondville bore her from the
scene and enquired the place of her abode.
My name,' said the lady, is Rosalie Montra-
vile, l have formerly resided with my guardian
but he is a villain of the darkest die May en-
quire your name 2 said Rosalie, in suppressed
and trembling voice as she cast her head aside

The lady started, as that name fell upon her ear,
for she recognized it in a moment Blondville
asked the roasons but she waived the subject, and
the next moment brought them to the marble steps
of large building in the Rue ST. Honore Blond
vile hesitated; and she politely invited him in
Through large, long entry, she led him into a
splendid hall, and from thence into an elegantly
furnished apartment, OCCUPIED at the moment by
an elderly lady, the brother OF KoDespIerre and
st. Just, his particular friend. After an introduce
ton la Francois, de Blondville was seated and
the conversation resumed by Robespierre, St Just,
and the lady
1t is natural for the human heart to love power,
said the younger Robespierre, and he who does
not seize the sceptre when il falls in his way is
recreant to lis nature.
But he who usurps power not his own, said
the lady, is an enemy to his
Hold said St. Just such sentiments may
cost even your life
Icannot but dread the most fearful consequences
to France retuEned the lady, with bitterness
that went to the heart of the two excited listeners
But fear Of vengeance from man shall never de-
ter me from speaking my sentiments in regard to
my country. The guilotne may rob me of a few
years Of existence but it can never obliterate from
my heart my utter detestation of a usurpur and
tyrant. France, but little while ago was pros
porous and happy, and had not the Internal spirit

and st. Just, at the same moment.
III it so please you,' retorted the lady, as her
fair daughter Emily de Bourg. entered the room
gaily, and was introduced to de l3londville.
Youmay live madam, to repent this language
said Robespierre, when
