cried:
"What does this mean? 1t is only the
aristocrats that are to die"
Away, woman" exclaimed one of the
executioners.
"No; will not away until YOU tel!
me why my brother is here and thus
bound.
"Your brother?" was the echo:
"Yes, this is my brother"
"Well, who are you?"
81 am Marie; don't you know me?"
"The beggar girl ?''
cay"
"But this is not your brother?
G 1t is. ASK him-ask him."
Young Antonio de Nantes had turned
a seornful gaze upon the maiden, but a
light passed across his face, and he muir
mured:
"Oh, my sister!!"
Is this your brother?" asked Robes
pierre of the supposed beggar, advancing
near her.
"Itis."
"But his name is down differently"
"Then you are mistaken. He is my
brother. Ask him."
docs Marie speak the truth?" asked
Robespierre.
"She does," was the brothers reply.
"And you are not De Nantes?''
81 tell you am her brother"
"Why did you not tell us this before? 2"
attempted to speak but was silenced." !"
"But you might have declared your.
SELF"
"You would not have believed me-"
"But your dress?"
I" 1t belonged to an aristocrat. Perhaps
to him for whom | was taken"
Robespierre advanced close to young
Nantes, and gazed earnestly into his face.
Then he approached Marie, and looked
steadily in her eyes for short time.
1t was moment of trial to the poor
girl. She trembled in spite of all her
efforts to be calm. She almost felt that
she was lost, when the human fend, whose
word was law, turned and said:
"Release the man."
The chains were instantly removed and
Antonio de Nantes walked down from
the scaffold, followed by his sister, while
the shouts CT those around rent the air,
for they supposed it was commoner
who had been saved.
The young man worked his way
through the crowd as rapidly as possible,
leading Marie.
They had scarcely escaped it before
the poor girl tainted from the intensity
of her feelings.
The brother scarcely knew what to do,
but hand was laid upon his arm, and q
voice said:
Bring her to my room again. She
will be safe there. ~
The brother conveyed her to the apart
ment of the pauper, and asked of her:
"Haye you seen the female before 2"
ayes know all about it," returned
the pauper. "She borrowed my clothes
to save her lover. She has done it and |
am glad"
Before the noble sister returned to
consciousness the brother had learned all.
When she did so they both sought Sc
cure quarters, after rewarding the beggar-
girl as had been promised.
"Do you think Robesperre was really
deceived 2" asked Marie de Nantes.
81 think not" returned the brother.
"Then why did he order your release?"
"He saw your plan. He admired your
courage. Could fiend have done less 2"
"Perhaps this was the case. But if
so, it was deed of mercy and the only
one that man ever did"
"You are right"
Antonio de Nantes was not again ar
rested, and lived happily with that sister
who had so nobly periled her own life to
save him by representing the "Beggar-
girl of Paris"

NAV FESTIVITIES.

The ancient observance of fowery May con-
tiaues to find its votares among the juvenile and
youthful population. The threatening aspect OF
the political horizons and elsocial distress IN our
sunny South, is forgotten for q moment, and the
happy hearts and brghteyes of the children reflect
thejoyous scenes OF other days. The entrance OF
this month was greeted in becoming manner by
the schools in our midst, and the occasions were
enliyening and gratifying: We hope for many re-
turns of the floral anniversary to the youth and
beauty engaged in these pleasing festivals.

On the other hand these advantages may be
thrown away, and then the extremists will find an
excuse for the .severer measures" proposed by the
Republican. In any event, we are determined to
fulfill the obligations incumbent upon us as jour-
nalst and while discountenancing the doctrines of
those amongst us who wish to defeat the proposed
measures of reconstruction, We shall yet employ
every occasion to prevent the growth of the Radi-
cal party in this section. If this be secession ar

unfavorable.to peace and destructive of general

Should the progress of reconstruction prove DIS
astrous to the Radical party, and to their attempts
to secure foothold in the excluded States, we will
witness such contortions and dying throes as were
never evinced by any political party on this conti-
nent. We are firmly convinced, and have been all
the while, that the measures of Congress are in
tended to secure power or rather to perpctuate the
power now in the hands of the majority. It is
also solemn conviction with us, that the South
ern people are enabled to defeat the designs of the
extreme men by strict compliance with the re-
quirements of the law. But we do not propose to
show our adversary these advantages. Shrewd, re-
hecting men foresee the result, provided every
white man properly discharges the duty imposed
upon u.s. And if that result brings the extreme
