" Robert! what mean you?"-she was
too late. They had disappeared; but
guided BY the echo Of his heavy tread, she
stole after them in the direction of the
banquet-hall. The loud shout which hailed
their entrance bursting along the corri-
dors, quickened her steps. She gained
the door and listened again shout, louder
than before, proclaimed that tender infant
the acknowledged successor to the duke
dom. Holding as mere trifes the sacred
ties Of marriage, and careless as their
northern forefathers Of the distinction be-
tween wedlock and concubinage, with ac-
clamations they swore the oath Of fealsy
to the offspring Of unweded love. Louise
listened, every limb trembling with Joy,
then sought her chamber, to indulge in a
flood Of tears, Of mingled sorrow and glad
ness.
Years rolled rapidiy on, pregnant with
important events. A monument at Nice
told Of noble piIgrim-the fourth lineal
descendant from Rollo-who died on his
return from Palestine. The valley flow
ers blonmed and faded on the sod beneath
which lay the mouldering frame OF one
whose beauty was the theme Of many a
song, whose modest goodness was the bur
then Of many a freside- tale for leagues
around the castle. But that infant, the
son of the humble maid of Falaise, became
William, duke of Normandy, and after
wards conquerer Of England.

A REBUFF.-lt will be recoIlected that
on the first rumor oil the conclusion of d
treaty, Mr.. Gwin, Of Mississippi, made
political speech in the House, in which he
undertook to protect the honor Of Maine.
Tho Eastern people were not particularly
grateful to him for his insidious kindness.
Mr.. Allen, who lives near the disputed
tract, replied to him, depricating his pre-
mature movements, and telling him that
his aid would have been more acceptable
years ago, when Maine asked for it in
vain. The Boston Atlas also thus notices
it:-LouisUiHe Journal.
"And who is it from whom this attack
in the House is begun? An attack, too,.
SO utterly and undeniably regardless OF
the merits Of the treaty; so paIpably for
base party purposes! Gsvin, of Missis-
siPPi! 1t was, indeed, fit source for
procedure 50 infamous! The avowed ad4
vocate Of swindling and reputation; the
chosen representative Of abandoned vii.
lany and vile profigacy, was, indeed, the
most proper person to be trust forward, in
mock profession of anxiety, lest the hon
or y Of Maine should be tarnished! Fal-
len and degraded indeed would be the
condition Of the star in the east, should
her honor ever require support or succof
from the hands Of representative from
degraded, despised, dishonored, and dis.
honest Mississippi-a representative too,
Whoj SO far from being, as thousands of
the honest portion of the people Of Missis-
sippi are, ashamed and mortified that their
State should be by-word, a Kissing re:
proach, and an object of scorn and con-
tempt to the world, glories in his shame,
and was selected for the very reason that
he is the avowed champion of dishonesty,
swindIing, and dishonor! And this man,
who, himself, deserves to be summed and
avoided by all honorable men, as they
would contamination and poIluting pesti-
lence, 70 take it upon himself to take in
charge the honor of Main! Well may
every true-hearted son of that State, who
has any regard, either for her or his own
honor or charactef and reputation, protest
against aid from such quarter; and ex-
claim, with one Of old:

Situated as we, are; we might make
some strange revelations in regard to the
slardepeas- iasPutations uttered by the ul-
ira ERhigs touching the. spueFility' OF
some of our articles. The official organ
of the Government very naturally is made
the medium of communication by many of
the greatest minds in our country. We
might point to iiunieFable articles of an
argumentative character which have beeH
stigmatized by our opponents as '.weak,"
&C., which were written bv the very
''gods of their idolatry. ."-MadisoniGn.
The court fools is, as usual, letting out
court secrets: TO repel the carge ofpuer-
ility made by the Wings against his edito-
rial articles, he alleges that many ofthen1
are written by the very gods of Wing idol
airy. Now he cannot have the effronte-
ry to pretend that distinguished Wings
out of the cabinent are writer's for his pa
per; and, of course, the Wing gods, that
he speaks of as the authors ofmany of his
editorial articles, are Messrs. Tyler, Web;

We can assure John Jones that the fact
of many of bis editorial articals being writ
ten BY Messer. Webster, Spencer, &c, is
very far from proving that the articles
themselves are not puerile. Whena man
of sense writes an editorial article for

The FAIR MAID OF FALAISE.
SKETCH FROM HISTORY.
BuE. e. ".

Day was finging from his pinions the
ast and loyeliest rays of light ere he left
he wood and wales of Normandy for a
lime TO darkness, as a gallant party OF
mounted hunters swept through the streets
dFalaise towards the castle of the duke.
The trampling of their steeds, the ringing
i strip and bit, the loud echo of the
agh and the Jest startled into atteRtion

Egambollings-the old man, the matron
and the maiden forsook their avocations
ogaze at the stirring sight. The array
gept on, and was lost behind the wooded
ldalations that separated the castle from
he town.
When the sound Of the last hoof-stroke
lag died away, and the last glimpse had
osen caught Of the dancing caps and way-
lg scarfs, the little urchin got astride Of
l stick, and pranced and curvetted in

And on his Isle beyond the main
With saddcn'd spirit ponders.
Ibis lovely Isle beyond the sea,
With all its household treasures;

And all its rural pleasures:
L, lcatY woods, its shady wales,

Ills childhood loved to gather:
When lo lie starts, with glad surprise,
Home-ioys come rushing DER him,

He spies the flower before him!
With eager haste lie stoops him down,
His eyes with moisture hazy,
And as he plucks the simple bloom,
He murmurs, ''Lawk-a-dasy!"

I've beheld you lay aside;
Love and hate forgot;
Fame, ambition, glory, power,
You I've seen enjoy your hour,
Beauty, whitening, as flower,
While altered not!

The INVENTION OF GUN-POWDER.-lhe
invention Of gunpowder and guns is
indisputably German, and is said to
have been produced in this manner:
One Barthoe Schwattz, learned fTiar
being one day engaged in making
chemical experiments, mixed salipetrc
and birthstone with other ingredients,
and set them cn fire in crucible; but
a spark getting into it, the pot sudden
ly broke, with great violence and noise
which events surprised him at first. but
he repeated the experiment, and find
ing the effect constant, set himself to
work to improve it-lor which purpose
he caused an iron pipe to be made,
with a small hole to fire at, and putting
in some Of his ingredients, together
with some small stones, set fire to IT,
and found that it answered his expecta
tions, in penetrating all before it. This
happened about the year 1880, and
was soon improved to the making OF
great ordnance, &c.
