Among the fatal results to which theeKtrav-
agant mania for jewels OF former daY led,
NAV be quoted the case Of Madame nquet,
whose bridal boquet cost her her life az well as
her fortune. earlier, bookseller in tire reign
Of Louis Wv, left at hiT death to each Of bis

lier. Young, handsome and weslthy, had nu-
merous suitors; one Of these, n. Tlquet, a
counsellor OF the Parliament sent her on her
fete day bolust, in which the caliees Of the
roses were Of large diamonds. The magnih-
eence Of this gift gave so good an opinion OF
The wealth, taste and liberality Of the dsnor,
thar the lady gave him the preference over all
his competitors. But sad was the disappoin,-
nsnt that followed the bridal Tae husband
was rather poor than rich, and the boqust that
had cost IS 600 francs (f1800,) had been
bought on credit, and was paid out OF the
bride's fortune. The revelation Of the deceit
practiced upon her was not likely to insure do
nestle peace the lady found, moreover, that
in lieu Of living in the style she had expected,
she would have 10 diminish her own expendi-

solicited and obtained separation and the use

The Independence sT Ireland.
Thomas Francis Meagber recently delivered
an address before an enthusiastic audience in
fremont Temple, Boston, upon the subject Of
HRecent Events in archaeological connee-
tion and French invasion"
B. S. Treanor introduced tbe lecturer, who
was received in the most enthusiastic man
ner. He said that for eight years he bad re-
mained silent upon this subject, but it was not
that his heart had grown cold in eIile, CT that
MS IDEAS udu become budpbu 70 prevailing
opinions, nor thst be considered it vulgar to
be identified with an oppressed people, nor
that be thought Ireland incapable Of self-gov-
ernment. Those who knew him full well knew
that bis silence was to be attributed to other
and better motives.
The circumstances by which the cause that
he held dear was surrounded, oppressed him,
but they had not the power to drown his ef-
forts for bis oppressed land. He alluded to
the Crimean war, and the revolt in India
which succeeded it, and showed bow Ireland
had been affected thereby. The Catholic
emancipation, againsl which was srrayed a
dominant aristocracy, had done much for the
redemption Of the people of Ireland. He then
passed on to the stormy episode Of lS4S, and to
other events since that time, having bearing
upon The history and future Of ireland. Regard
ing the Italian war, be said that protestaRts
we're divided in opinion upon It, and be thouhgt
that If there was such difference among that
class It was no wonder that there should be q
difference Of opinion among Irishmsn.
At all events the power Of the Pope should
be respected. The different wars which in
past years bad been prosecuted By the Eng
lEh had served the purpose Of giving the lrisl
such discipline as they needed. He protest.
ed against the repeal Of the Union as a meas
ure wholly against the interests Of the Irish
people. The situation Of Ireland was in eve
~ respect favorable to progress and enter
prise. The great question was, bow will Ire
land get away from its English foes? Ireland
must look to France for her deliverance. Such
an alliance was probable, and if 30 it would
be welcomed by every heart. With such a
man as Napoleon, such an event was not i'm
possible.
