ORIGIN OF MAN.

We take from our scrap book the following
exquisite and beautiful stanzas, said to be from
pen of the celebrated orator and statesman, Sher-
idan. Though no novelty, they will not fail to
interest whoever gives them perusal.
Af1iction one day as she harked to the roar
OF the stormy and struggling billow,
Drew beautiful form on the sands of the shore,
With the stem of weeping willow.
Jupiter struck with the noble plan,
As he roamed on the verge Of the ocean,
Breathed on the figure, and calling it man,
Endowed it with life and motion.
A creature so glorious in mind and in frame
So stamp'd with each parent Impression
Among them a point of contention became,
Each claiming right of possession.
''He is mine, ;" said Afcton, IL gave him his birth,
/ alone am the cause OF creation"
"The materials were furnished by me-" answered
Earth,
"T gave him." said Jove, ''animation.'
The gods all assembled in solemn divan,
After hearing each claimants petition,
Pronounced a definite sentence on man,
And thus settled his fate's disposition:
Let Afliction possess her own child, till the woes
OF life cease to harass and goad it.,
After death give his body to Earth whence itrose,
And his spirit to Him who bestowed it,"
The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1845-11-25
A HEROINE.
THE WIFE OF LAFAYETTE.

The WIFE Ot LAFAYETTE.
The faithful and devoted wife of General
Lafayette was daughter of the illustrious
house of Noales She was married at the
early age of seventeen, and scarcely had the
honeymoon glded happily away, when her
youthful husband left her side TO fight for
American independence. During his ab-
sence, Madame Lafayette ruled her house.
prudence fap9seyond her years. At length
her husband whom she loved so dearly, and
of whom she was so justly fond, returned,
covered with glory, to lay his laurels at her
feet. Some few happy days were spent to-
gether, and then the storm cloud the French
revolution broke over their heads. Her hus-
band was soon driven into exile, but it was
thought that Madame Lafayette, living quiet
ly and in retirement on her estate in Auver-
gene, ran no danger. But her love of liber-
ty, her high rank, her talents, made her an
object of suspicion. She was arrested on the
10th of August, and soon after sent to Paris.
Her mother, grandmother, and sister-in-law,
all perished on the same scaffold. Madame
Lafayette herself was in daily expectation Of
death: she made her will, and waited calmly
and resolutely for the summons to the quill
otine. The revolution of the 9th Thermidor
preceded by five days that appointed for her
execution. AS soon as she was liberated,
she sent her only son, then in his childhood,
10 the care of Gen. Washington. after whom
he had been named; and then fastened with
her two daughters to find her unfortunate
husband-then languishing in an Austrian
prison. She reached Vienna by means of an
American passport, obtained an audience of
the Emperor, and solicited either the release
of her husband or permission to share his
captivity. GAS to the release of General La
fayette," replied the Emperor, it is very
complicated piece of business: on that point
my hands are tied"
Madame Lafayette joyfully embraced the
other alternative--that Of sharing her hus-
bands gloomy prison, sixteen months close
Imprisonment in France, the loss of all hel
kindred, and her contual anxiety respecting
her husband, had combined to affect her
health, which declined so rapidly in her
damp prison Of Olmutz, that serious appre-
tensions were entertained forher life. Fee
ling the importance of her life to her family,
she wrote to the Emperor for his permission
10 spend week in Vienna for change of air,
and for the purpose of consulting a physi-
clan. Her letter remained two months un-
answered, and then came an imperial man.
date, forbidding her ever to appear in Wen
ua, but offering her freedom on condition
that she would never seek toreturn to her
husbands prison. Madame de Lafayette's no.
BILE and touching answer to this nhumau pro-
position, fortunately for posterity, remains
on record. II was as follows:- =

my life, but they knew me too we'll to sup.
