extract from Madame Campan's Me-
moirs of the unfortunate Marie An

"Frankhn appeared at the court in
the dress of an American cultivator.
His straight unpowdered hair, his round
hat, his brown cloth coat, formed a
contrast with the laced and embroider-
ed coats, and the powdered and perfu-

thusisstic heads of the French women.

solid matter in the ocean may be we'll
illustrated by the action of the gulf
stream which sweeps from the Guinea
coast by the gulf of Mexico, and then
traverses SO great portion ofthe north
Atlantic, for it carries timber and trop-
ical fruits within the influence of the

Rings out upon the gale,

many hours, he said, subsequently, to
this rash act, before he came to himself.
for he had tainted imedia,ely after the
deed was signed.
This narrative was seriously SUBJ
mitted. In vain did I, and his other
friends, attempt to reason him out of
his belief that he had signed the dew
IFS bond. His mind appeared to be so
completely possessed with this idea,
that day after day he sank under the
dreadful consciousness that he had lost
all hope Of future happiness. "The
bond! the bond!" he would exclaim
sab! why did sign il?''
At last the thought struck me, that,
as man who had lost his reason could
not be open to conviction of error by
the force of reasonable argument, it
might be we'll to assume the tone of a
similar belief. therefore appeared to
credit the fact of his signing bond,
and all the particulars his disturbed
mind Increasingly dwelt upon. With
this intent took an opportunity oil
conhdentially telling him | had at last
come to a conviction that what he had
stated ABOUT his interview with the dew
| il was true.
"Ahl" he replied, snow you speak

rive satisfaction from conversing with
you" "Well," said, sit is melan-
choly circumstance, and | fear there
are no hopes for you. | wish my con-
dolence for your lost condition could
afford any ease; you have it sincerely"
He appeared touched with my kind
ness; and said that it afforded him some
consolation to think there was one per-
son among his friends who did not
think that his wits were lost, and that
what he had stated had merly been the
effects of heated Imagination.
/ appeared 10 agree with him IN ev-
cry thing We were both in the same
attitude; both leaning our heads on our
hands with tears in his eyes, and

sudden exclaimed, "Ha! ha! tho

5ond?" "Yesn' he exclaimed. rousine
himself in great agitation. "fou sign

spending mood. "Another question

about, swapping my fingers, and cry'n'
out, You have done him! you hav'

need only add that my poor frien'
recovered his health rapidly; and leav
ing off his solitary rambles, togethe
with the habit Of reading tales o. ticti
tious horror, he at last became com
pletely sensible that he had certain,
