FRENCH PRISONS.

An order to visit the dungeon in which
Marie Antoinette spent the last six months
of her life is not easy for stranger to pro-
cure. have several times CROPPED my way
along the narrow and dimly-lighted pas

which the Austrian Archduchess bruised
her forehead as she went forth to execution.
TIE new prisons lately constructed in that
part of the Palais de Justice, for the de-
signs of which its architect, M. Due, was
last week awarded the prize of 4,000l, are
on very different plan. Light, air, and
every hygienic improvement that modern
science has discovered has been brought to
bear on the new cells, which it must be
confessed, are by no means uninviting in
appearance. In two of these MN. Pic and
Taillefer have spent their month of deten-
ton, previous to being brought to trial.

cells with an English friend, being startled

iron rod is passed through the chains rivet-

in the wards are thus, as it were, linked
together so that the movement of one must
arouse the whole number, each end of the
rod is heavily weighed. Besides this pre-
caution against night riot heavy gun

wealthy and courted editor ofthe Etendard

WITTY REPRooF,

A witty suggestion is often more effect

Duke. Mrs. Stowe tells good story of an
old minister who had been unable to keen
some thievish boys out ofhis peach orchard
till he managed to reach their consciences
by story in the pulpit:
Old Father Morris sometimes used his
illustrative talent to very good purpose in
the way of rebuke. He had on his farm a
fine orchard ofpeaches, from which some of
the ten twelve-ycar-old gentlemen help
eel themselves more literally than even
the old mans kindness thought expedient.
Accordingly, he took occasion to introduce
INTO his sermon one Sunday, in his little
parish, an account of journey he took,
and how he saw a very fine orchard of
peaches which made his mouth water to
look at them.
so" says he, II came to the fence, and
looked all around, for | would not have
touched one of them acithout Jeace for all
the world. AT last espied man, and
says L: "Mr. won't you give me some of
your peaches ?" So the man came and gave
me nigh about hatful. And while |
stood there eating, said, Mister, how do
you manage to keep your peaches p
Keep them 2" said he, and stared at me.
"What do you mean ?"
Yes, SIR said l. "Don't the boys steal
them 2"
Boys steal them!' said he. mo, in
deedr'
why sir" said I, 81 have a whole lot
full OF peaches, and I cannot get half of
them here the old mans voice became
temulousl because the boys in my parish
steal them so.'
"Why," said he, "don't their parents
teach them not to steal ~
And grew all over in cold sweat,
and told him was afraid they didn't.
"Why," how you talk !" says the man.
"Do tell me where you live ?"
"Then," said Father Morris, the tears
running down, 81 was obliged to tell him
l lived in the town of G."
After this, Father Morris kept his
peaches.

way similar. Also twenty or thirty other
small mounds are not far off, all containing
bones, &c. In one was obtained a wedge
of pure copper, that weighed over pound.
The mounds are full of bones from top to
bottom, showing that large numbers were
buried there. In this connection / will
speak of very large mound near Peters
burg, Pike county, Indiana. 1t covers
about four acres at the base; is one acre
at the top, and about seventy feet high
Here also an excavation shows where the
dirt was obtained. Human bones of i'm
mense size, hatchets, arrows, &C., here also
mark the habits Of warlike race of
giants.
The timber and soil of these mounds
and excavations are the same size and
depth and general appearance as the sur
rounding country, showing great antiqui-
ty of the mounds and builders.

Wonderful Calculation.

A writer thus undertakes to convey some
idea OF the greatness of the population of
Chlne: "The mind cannot grasp the i'm
port OF so vast number. Four hundred
millions! What does that mean? Count it.
Night and day, without rest, or food, or
sleep, you continue the wearisome work:
yet eleven days have passed before You
count the first million, and more than as
many years before the end of the tedious
task can be reached" He also supposcs
this mighty multitude to take up its line
OF march, in grand procession, placed in
single file at eight feet apart, and march
ing at the rate of thirty miles per day, ex-
cept on Sabbath, which is given to rest.
"Day after day the moving column adj
vances; the head pushing on towards the
rising sun, now bridges the Pacific now
bridges the Atlantic. And now the Pac-
iic is crossed, but still the long procession
goes marching on, straight across high
mountains and sunny plains. and broad riv-
ers through China and India, and the Eu.
ropean kingdoms, and on the stormy bos-
ON of the Atlantic But the circuit of the
world itself affords not standing-room.
The endless column will double upon it
self, and double again and again, and shall
girdle the earth eighteen times before the
great reservoir which furnishes these multi
tudes is exhausted. Weeks, months and
years roll away, and still they come, men
women, and children. Since the march
began the little child has become man, and
yet they come, come, in unfailing numbers.
, Not till the end of forty-one years will
the last of the long procession have passed."
Such is China in its population; and if
Homer could preach eloquently on the van
ity OF man as mortal, with equal eloquence,
had he seen or contemplated the millions
of China, could he have preached on the
vanity of man as an individual!

sY The Icelanders have curious Gus
tom, and most effectual one, of prevent
ing horses from straying. Two gentlemen
for instance, are riding together without
attendants, and, wishing to alight for the
purpose of visiting some objects at a dis
lance from the road, they tie the tail of
one horse to the head of the other, and the
head of this to the tail of the former. In
this state is is impossible that they can
move either backward or forward, one pull

and, therefore, if disposed to move at ali

there must be an agreement to have their

Putting them into clean garments and white;
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Spying out holes in the little worn hose
Laying by shoes that are worn thrO' the toes
Lacking DOR garments so faded and thin
Who but IA mother knows where to begin?
Changing button to make il look right
This is what mothers are doing tonight.
Calling tho little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their evening prayer
Telling them stories of Jesus Of old,
Who loves TO gather the lambs to His fold
Watching, they listen with childish delight,
This is what mothers are doing Tonight.
Creeping 10 softly to lake Il last peep,
After the little ones all are asleep;
Anxious to know If the children are warm,
Tuckins the blankets round each little form,
Kissing each little face rosy and bright
That is what mothers do after night
Kneeing down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meeEly she bows down her head,
Praying as only mother can pray,
God guide and keep them from going astruy."

left the wood, and had clear view, she saw
the eagle as if he we're inclined to alight
with his burden somewhere in the neigh.
borhood of the river. This gave her new
courage and fresh hope, and she ran forward
with increased speed. 1t luckily happened
ut that time there waa Il man hunting in the
neighboring marshes, and just at the par
ticular moment when the eagle reached the
ground with his burden, shot went off so
dangerously and alarmingly near him (for
the hunter was behind a clump of bushes
about twenty yards off, and had his back
toward the spot where the eagle and the
child were,) that he mounted into the mir
again, but this time without his burden.
The girl was filled with joy when she beheld
the bird rise without the child. But fear
ing he would return, as he seemed inclined
to do, she set up vigorous shouting as she
ran, which attracted the hunters attention
III that direction, who, seeing the eagle
quite near him. and n lady rushing down
the slope with streaming hair and garments,
and wildly shouting concluded at once that
there was something strange and perhaps
dreadful in his Immediate vicinity, and he
also set up vigorous hallooing and pro-
ceeded to reload his gun with much precipi-
tation, forgetting to get the game he shot.
Ihe eagle soon became aware of the formid-
able opposition he would meet if he at
tempted to recaptnre his prey, and thinking
better of it, he wheeled round, and swung
himself in one grand swoop across the river.

but otherwise uninjured, endeavoring to
rise upon his little feet. The tears streamed
down his innocent cheeks, and his face wore
a most piteous expression. He took the
