DEATH OF MADAME ROLAND.

At length, after an imprisonment OF
nearly six months, she vas taken. in
November, 1898, to that fatal Conciege
rie, whence, in hose days. no prison.
er issued but for the gullloine. Here
she was placed in wretched cell, next
to that "a which poor Marie Antoinette
had been lodged She who had rejoiced
over the fall OF that unhappy queen, was
now seen in private moments to weep
bitterly. Yet her courage did not give
way. In the cells we've logged many of
the GiIoudins. who were yet 10 be exc
cuted. and wnen they were let out in the
passage for exercise. she talked to them
across the grazing Of her door, and en-
courased them 10 look on death as a
marty dom. Size rose now to the level
OF an orator, and in her misery ard de.
SPAR poured out bitter reprosches on the
very men who, in the hall above, were
holding the mock trial of her friends.
One by one she saw them depart. never
to re urn. and fell thai her turn must be
al hand.
1t came at last. Before David, the
Judge. and Fouquer Tinville, the public
proseucuior, she was accused Of being
the wife Of Roland and the friend of his
accomplices. She stood before them
proudly. She was dressed simply. in
white. and her long hair flowed in curls
over her shoulders. Her face, while il
had lost all its freshness from long con
fnepent, was still beautiful in express
ion. This beauty bad once melted a
whole assembly before which she was
arrsgned, but IT served only to enrsge
her presen, sccusers. That very morn
ing, Brissot, the founder Of her party,
had been executed. She could not hope
TO escape, yet was resolved TO speak out
aud defend herself before the country.
The court was at hat time open. and
the trials were attended by ihe dregs Of
the populace, who interfered with them
at pleasure, and mingled coarse invec-
tives with the inpertinent questions OF the
public prosecutor. The in,errogaiory
was frs OF little importance consisting
q qu 'siiors about her esr'Y lie and con-
neotion Si,d R,~lab Il then passed TO
ouesuo1s sbous bis colleagues. and. last
~, 10 such gross impu suOus dpon her
earractsr. ,hs' sbe bBTs' into tears. AT
usr three hours Of this pablo torture she
was dismissed, and returned to her cell.

MISCELLANEOUS.

They are now shipping cargoes of coolies
to the Sandwich Islands, to supply the ne,
cessities of plantation labor.
The work of granting pardons at Washing
ton proceeds steadily but slowly. We can
not help thinking Of the idea of Dr.. Franklin,
who, when boy, got weary of standing up
and listening to grace at every meal and re-
spectfully asked his respected father whether
it wouldn't do just as well to say grace over
the whole pork barrel at once.
The Pope aud the Able Liszt are together
at Castel Gondolfe. The Holy Father order
ed an excellent piano for the latter from
Paris, which uas been forwarded with every
possible care. Plus lX is passonately fond
of music, aud passes great part of his time
listening to Liszts music and conyersing
with him. List, in addition to his brilliant
talent rs pianist, is known to be one of the
most agreeable and entertaining takers of
the present day, and has no difficulty in
eclipsing al the private encourage of His
Holiness, who, for that reason, looks upon
him with great envy. He is, indeed, ia great
favor with the Pope, who not only likes him
personally, but also finds him useful in polit-
ical matters. lie sometimes intrusts him
with diplomatic duties of a very delicate ma
ture.
One Of the republican delegates to the Syr-

Send ycur Children to Church.

"Mother, l don't want to 90 to
church" said the speaker, little bright
eyed boy, looking up into his mothers
face with evident doubt as 10 The proprie
ty Of saying what he said. His mother,
who had often heard The same remon-
STRANGE, sat down and drew him to her
knee. saying, Charley. father and l tell
you it is best for you. Don't you think
that we ought to know best? Charley
made a petulant reply. and although
Obliged to go, yet went in very unfa-
vorable mood.
Years passed away, Charley had lived
to be a man. and had long gladdened his
mothers heart by living the life Of u
Christian. Children growing up around
him were taught to tread the path which
he had been led before. One Sabbath
friend spending the day with him
asked. "Why do you endeavor to get all
your children TO go TO church, whether
they wish to go or not? You know that
many do not approve Of such a course. ="
Turning to his friend. he replied. Be
cause owe it to my mother that l was
saved from in6deliiy by the respect for
the Christian religion instiIled into my
heart, when she sent me constantly TO
church."
Parents. though you may see no pres
snt good resulting from your efforts, yet
lrecolect that God will bring his seed to
qualification not in one reason, nor in
two. but when it plesses bis Almighty
will.
This anecdote is essentially true, and
it is the writer's own experience.
Gather your children to the sanctus
ry. There is part which will whisper
to them-whispers that will come TO them
in after years-fsint as the din remem-
brance Of some long gone dresm-loud
as the voice of the temptation they en-
counter. There will q spiritual strength.
though latent, which will hide itself IN
their hearts, and at some future lime
they will most surely draw from IL
stores.
