THE LADY OF LYONS.

BULwER's CELEBRATED STAGE PLAY IN STORY
FORM.
Lyons-the gay and brilliant French cap
ital Of the department of the Rhone and
Loire-is second, in point of beauty, COM
merce, and opulence, only to the great me-
tropolis of France, ''la belle Paris" Not
long subsequent to the close of the bloody
drama, Of the French revolution, which
caused all Europe to tremble-that period
the history of which chills the blood of the
modern reader-the incidents of the follow
ing tale occurred.
There resided at Lyons a rich family
named Deschapelles, of no particular note
other than what their extensive wealth ne
cessarily gave them. The father was still
at the opening of our tale merchant, al
though advanced in years, and already pos
sessing, as one might reasonably suppose
enough of this worlds wealth. Yet he still
held on, the pride of being considered the
greatest commercial house in Lyons, being
too seducing to admit of his retiring into the
bosom of his family to enjoy the close of a
long, industrious and honorable mercantile
life. He still designed to accumulate more
wealth, and to extend his business.
Madame Deschapelles, was lady of most
unequalled pride, and entirely wrapped up
in the desire to form high match for her
beautiful child, Pauline, whose extreme
loveliness of person, and ladylike accom-
plishments had already, while she was yet
but eighteen, gained her name of the belle
of Lyons. Pauline was the constant theme
and care ofher mother, and neither care or ex-
pense was spared to render her as accomplish
ed in mind as nature had made her in person.
She was surrounded by all the luxury in
genuity could devise or wealth procure
The mansion of the family was one of un-
surpassed beauty, contiguous to which there
were grounds and gardens of the most envi-
able beauty. The Deschapelles' moved in
the irst circles of the society of Lyons, al
shough in blood they were not noble indeed,
at che time of which we write, there was no
acknowledged nobility in France. no lords,
no marquises, but all were simple citizens,
for the revolution had laid the shephard's IS
crook beside the sceptre.
One lovely afternoon, Madame Deschap-
elles and Pauline sat gossipping in their

A GEM FROM FANNY FORESTER.

We extract from the proof sheet of calder
brook" now in press by Ticknor & Co., the fo
lowing touching stanzas, by Mrs. Judson, to he
mother, previous to her voyage from this port,
lew years ago.-Boston Herald.
Give me my old seat mother,
With my head upon thy knee;
I've passed through many changing scene
Since thus sat by thee.
Oh let me look into thine eyes
Their meek, soft loving light
Falls, like gleam of holiness,
Upon my heart tonight.
I've not been long away, mother;
Few suns have rose and set
Since last tear-drop on thy cheek
My lips in kisses met.
IT'S but little time, know,
But very long it seems,
Though every night come to thee,
Dear mother, in my dreams.
The world has kindly dealt, mother
By the child thou low st so well;
Thy prayers have cIrcled round her path,
And twas their holy spell
Which made their path so dearly bright,
Which strewed the roses there,
Which gave the light and cast the balm,
On every breath of air.
bear happy heart, mother,
happier never beat;
And even now, new buds of hope
Are bursting at my feet.
Oh mother life may be breath,
But if such dreams are given,
While at the portals thus we stand,
What are the truths of Heaven?
bear happy heart, mother,
,z.. Yes, when fond eyes see,
And Hear SOFT tones and winning words,
| ever think of thee.
And then the tear, my spirit weeps,
Cnbidden fills my eye:
And, like homeless dove, ] long
Unto thy breast to fly.
Then am very sad, mother,
I'm very sad and lone
Oh there's no heart, whose inmost fold
Opes to me like thine own
Though sunny smiles wreath blooming lips,
While love tones meet mine ear,
My mother, one fond glance of thine,
Were thousand times more dear.

The less notice we take of the unkindness
and injuries that are done us, the more we
consult the quiet Of our minds.

WOMEN AND PoRPo1sEs.-A growing old
genius thus compares women to porpoises
''Well, it's the natur' of porpoises, when
she one gets wounded, that all the other
porpoises run after her, and chase her to
death. They show her no mercy; human
natur' is the same as fish natur' in this par
ticular, and is as scaly, too. When wo-
man gets wound from an arrow shot out
by scandal, or envy, OF malice, Or falsehood,
for not keepin' her eye on the compass, and
shapin' her course as she ought to, men,
women, boys, persons, and tea-goin' gossi-
pin wives, pious gals and prime old maids,
all start off in full cry, like pack of blood
hounds after her and tear her to pieces; and
if she earths, and has the luck to get safe
into hole fust, they howl and yell round it
every time she shows her nose, like so ma
ny imps of darkness It's the race of chari-
ty, to see which long-legged, bilious lookin'
critter can be in at the death first They
turn up the whites of their eyes like ducks
in thunder, at fox hunt, it's so wicked;
but gal hunt they love dearly, it's servin'
the Lord"
