Story ola New Orleans Boy

Not quite fifteen years ago, says the
New York Times aud Messenger Of the
I'd inst; Paul Arthur was born in the
city of New Orleans. His parents were
poor, hard working people, and Paul
was their only child. Before he was old
enough to wear Il jacket and trousers, his
father died, and shortly after the mother
removed with her little boy to the city
of Baltimore, where she has since resi-
ded, obtaining for herself and son u
scanty support by taking in washing.
By dint of birthplace and perseverance
the boy picked up a little knowledge of
the French, and could read we'll the En-
glish language. whilst hardly out of his
slips Some four years ago Mr.. Joseph
Jefferson "Our American Cousin }
observed the little fellow about the doors
of the theatre in Baltimore, and, al
though his dress was much the worse
for wear, his sparkling eye and intelli-
gent countcnance attracted the attention
of the commediaD, and an acquaintance
between them was the conscquence-an
acquaintance which has proved thus far
highly honorable to both. Mr.. Jeiier-
sons friendly advice and pecuniary aid
has kept Paul from the strong chances
and temptations of ;, getting lost
During the session of last Congrcst
Mr.. Pennington. the Speaker, On pas
sing through Baltimore, was 50 pleased
at the appearance of the boy that he Of
fered him the appointment Of page to the
House of Representatives; but Paul was
then studying for more ambitious post,
and he respectfully declined the offer.
\ few months ago without consulting a
single person, Paul wrote letter dircc-
ted tc Louis Napoleon, Emperor Of France
stating that he was an orphan, with all
its dcstitution, verging upon fifteen years
of age, four feet and eleven inches in
height and that els iondest desire wss to
receive a military education aud become
a soldier in the French army Ia just
four weeks from the date of that lettar
Paul received, at the Post Office in Bal
timore- letter from the highest militlry
officer under Napoleon, stating that the
Emperor had selected place for the or
phan boy in the first school of France
and had placed the necessary fuos to de-
fray all expcnces in the hands of an agent
at Havre, who would receive him on
his arrivrl, with special request for
him to report himself to the Emperor at
his earliest pleasuac.

The Maiden And The Hero.

On the night before tie battle o
brandy-wine | was sent with message
from General Greene to Count Pulaski
noble Polander, who took promiucnt
part in our struggle for freedom. lie
was quartered in farm house, near the
upper forts. After our business was fin.
ished, the Count asked Inc to take some
refreshments, at the same time calling
out:
MARY my lass, Mary"
In an instant rosy-cheeked girl en-
tered, her face beaming with joy, il
would seem, at the very sound of Pu.
laski's voice.
Did you call me, Count ?"said she
timidly
"How often have I told you, my lit.
tie love-" said he, bending his tall form
to kiss her check, not to call me Count
call me dear Pulaski. This is Repub-
lie my little favorite; We have no Counts,
you know"
"But you are Count, sir, when at
home, and they say you came long
way over the ocean to fight for us"
"Ies, Mary, did come a long way;
the reason was, had 20 come Now,
can you get for this gentleman and my
self "A little retrcshment? He has long
way to ride to-nig ght."
Certainly, sir" and she went out OF
the room like a fairy.
Fine, pleasant girl" said Pulaski;
would that had the wealth once hadl
[ would give her portion that would
send half the youth h.rea bout after her
sweet face
I On the morning of the eleventh of Sep
tember, 1777, the British army advan-
cen in full force to Chadd's Ford for the
purpose of crossing Brandywine Greek,
and bring on an action with Washington
Sir William Howe drove Maxwclls di-
vision across the creek by ten O. clock, at
one Of the lower fords.
The f1essian General, Knyphauson,
with large force, advancing up the
creek, aud uniting with Lord Cornwall
lis, who commanded the left wing of the
army, crossed at the upper fords of the
river and creek. 1t soon happened that,
during the raging of the conflict, carry.
ing orders, ipassed Immediately in the
direction Of Pulaski's quarters, that had
visited the night before. Suddenly
sheet of fame burst forth; the house was
on fire. Near the door step lay The body
of Mary, her head cut open by sabre,
and her brains oozing out of the terrible
wound. lad been there but half a min
ute, when General Pulaski, at the head
of troop ofcavalry, gallopcd rapidly to
the house. Never shall forget the ex-
preston of his face, as be shouted like
dcmond, on seeing the inanimatc form
of Mary:
"Who did this?"
A little boy who had not been before
noticed who was lying amid the grass,
his leg dreadful mingled, said:
"Thcrc they gor'
lie pointed to the company of Hess-
ans, then some distance off.
Fright wbeel-men, ciiarge!"
And they did charge. l do not think
that one man of that Hessian corps ever
left the field, except to be placed in the
grave.
The last of Pulaski was on the battle
ground of Brandywine. He and his
sweet Mary fell on the same field.

ROCK de TO SLEEP.

Backward, turn backward @ Time in your iiigh
Make me child again, just for night!
! ltother, come back from the echoleJs shore,
Take me again to your heart, as Of yore--
Kiss from my forehead the furrows Of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out Of my hair
Over my sumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mothor-rock me to sleep!
Backward, flow backward, 0 tide of years!
| am SO weary of toll and of tears
Toll without recOmpcnse-tcars all in vain
Take them, and give back my childhood again
I have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of Gngng my soul wealth away
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me- sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Tired of the hollow, the base, tho untrue,
Mother, mother, my heart calls for you
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Bossome and faded-our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long I, tonight, for your presence again;
Come from the silence SO long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mothcr-rock me to sleep,
Over my heart, in days that are flown,
No, love like mother love ever has shonc--
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unselfsh, and patient like yours
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul, and the world weary brain;
Sumbcr's soft calm DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother rock me to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
lie, i, fall over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For, with its sunny edged shadows once moro,
Happily throng the sweet visions Of yore,
Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mothcr-rock ine to sleep!
MCther, lear mother the years have been long
Since l last listened to your lullaby song
Sing, then, and unto my soul ii shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only II dream;
Clasptd to your heart in loving embrace,
With your light lashss just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother-reck me to sleep!
