while shouts rent the air, for they sup
posed he was a commoner who had thus
been saved.
The young man worked his way
through the crowd as rapidly as possible
leading Maria. They 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 a 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:
" Have you seen the female before 2"
Yes. know all about it," returned
the pauper. She borrowed my clothes
to save her brother. She has done it and
| am glad"
Before the noble sister returned to
consciousness the brother had learned all.
They both sought more secure quarters,
after rcwarding the beggar-girl, as prom
ised.
"Do you think Robespierre was really
deceived ?" asked Maria de Nantes.

A BRAVE GIRL.
Il IdJe of the French RerOlxtios,.

nURING the " Reign of Terror" in
~ France there were many deeds of
daring performed, even by women, and
many examples Of affection exhibited
The very streets Of Paris were deluged
with human blood, but near the guilo-
tine it ran in torrents. One dark morn
ing an unusual number Of the aristocracy
had been marched forth, and countless
heads folied from the block. A gaping
multitude stood by, and with shouts rent
the air as the aristocracy were thus
butchered.
Among the assembled multitude, that
dreary morning, We're two females. One
Of them was plainly clad, while cloak
was thrown around her, with which she
kept her features nearly concealed The
face Of the woman was very beautiful
and she was young-certainly not more
than sixteen years Of age.
The other female was quite different in
character. Her face was fair, but there
was brazen expression about it. She
was clad in rags, and as each head fell
she would dance, and in various ways ex-
press her delight
The first female watched this creature
for few moments, and then pressing her
hand to her side, she laid her hand upon
the shoulder cf the wretch, and whisper
cred
Would you like to become rich at
once 2"
The female in rags turned about with q.
look Of surprise, burst in loud laugh,
and then replied
"Of course | would"
Follow me and you shall be-"
Enough; lead on"
1t was with considerable difficulty that
the females extricated themselves from
the crowd but they did SO at length,
and then the first female asked of the
other:
"What shall call you ?"
"Oh! l am called the Beggar- G irl
Maria." "
"You live by begging ?"
" Yes; but what's your name, and what
do you want 2" Her only answer was,
Are you wei! known in Paris ?"
Yes. Everybody knows Maria, the
Beggar-Girl."
Are you known to Robespierre?" If
so, l want to make bargain witlr you"
| am. What do you wish ?"
You see my clothing is better than
your own, and l wish to exchange with

III Take Care Of the Cats.

NJ OF long since there lived in Man
~ chester. New York, an aged rem
Dant Of u bankrupt stock of mortgaged
chattles, who consoled himself in the
loss Of his family and property, by const-
tutlng himself one OF the invited drink
crs who hang around the bar Of ,coun-
try grocery store, Old Jake B-was a
curious chap, ever ready to take or re-
ceive joke and particularly fond of" do
ing" the boys-old fellows of sixty
and making them victims of circum-
stances Well, in the course of human
events, this octogcnarian shutfied off his
mortal coil. in due time the sexton was
summoned. lie came, looked puzzled,
stood awhile, and went away. Shortly
after he returned with board and rope,
looked puzzled, stood around few mo-
mcnts with his hands in his pockets, and
his hat cooked on his left ear. II ow
should he 'straighten' the body SO that it
would make q respectable appearance p
This was poser! After scratching his
head, and resorting to more than usual
debate in his own mind, he hit upon the
eXpedient Of tying his feet down to the
board, taking the kinks out Of the body
and binding the rope around the head
This would keep him straight and make
the job satisfactory to the mourning rela-
tives. Having accomplished the laying
out he engaged an old retainer by the
name Of Joe Smith to do the sitting up
and departed. About midnight Joe want
ed to smoke, and so vacated the room for
a few minutes. Upon his return, he dis
covered that two cats had stolen in when
he stole out. One was perched upon the
feet and the other upon the head Of the
detunct, and both were howlingly pite-
ousl y. There was no time for foolin'. He
cutched the chair and went at them
The first intruder was knocked through
the window, but his blow at the second
was not so fortunate; instead of hitting
Thomas, he hit the rope, and knocked it
out of shape, wherupon the corpse rose
up into sitting posture. This sud den
and somewhat belligerent attitude of the
watchers friend didn't frighten him in
the least. He was equal to any of the
old mans jokes, and thinking this was
one Of them, and being determined not
to be fooled he bawled out Darn We,
old man, lay down, and I'll attend to the
cats ?!

True Pride.

A YOUNG man named Parks, from
IA Worcester, entered the store of the
Lawr,ences, in Boston, and found Amos ia
the office. He represented himself as
having just commenced business, aud de-
sired to purchase lot Of goods lie had
recommendations as to character from
several influential citizens of Worcester.
but none touching his business standing
Or capacity. The merchant listened to
his story, and, at its close, shook his
head.
Il have no doubt" he said kindly,
that you have full faith in your ability
to promptly meet She obligations you
would now assume but I have no knowl-
edge of your tact or capacity; and, as
you admit, you are just launching forth
upon the sea of business. ] should be
doing you injustice 10 allow you 10 con-
tract debt which I did rot teel assured
you could pay at the proper time.
But Mr.. Lawrence liked the appearance
of the young man, and finally told him
that he would let him hayo what goods
he could pay for at the cost oE manufac-
ture-about ten per cent, less than the
regular wholesale price. The bill was
made out and paid, and the clerk asked
where the goods should be sent.
" | will take them myself" said the
purchaser.
You'll find them rather heavy" sug-
gested the clerk, smiling.
Never mind. am strong, and the
stage Office is not far away; and besides
have nothing else to occupy my
time"
Il" But" said the clerk, expostulating
it is hardly in keeping with your posi-
ton to be shouldering such popderous
bundles through the city.
"There you mistake" replied the
young man, with simple candor. MY
position just now is one in which I musJ
help myself, if L would be helped at all
| am not ashamed to carry anything
which honestly possess, noram ashamed
Of the strength which enables me to bear
the heavy burden"
Thus speaking he shouldercd a large
bundle, and had turned towards the outer
door, when Mr.. Lawrence, who from his
office. had overheard the conversation,
called him back.
" Mr. Parks, [ have concluded to let
you have what goods you want on time.
Select at your pleasure"
The young man was surprised
" You have the true pride for sue
cessful merchant, sir, pursued Lawrence !;
"and l shall be much disappointed ifyou
do not prosper"
Amos Lawrence was not disappointed
Within fifteen years from that time Sam
uel Parks was himself established on
Milf, street-one Of the most enterprising
and successful merchants in Boston.

I'VE BEEN THINKING,

I've been thinking, I've been thinking
What a glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their ne!ghbors less
For instance you and /, my friend,
Are sadly prone TO talk
OF matters that concern us not,
And others follies mock.
I've been thinking, if we'd begin
TO mend our own affairs,
That possibly our neighbors might
Contrive to manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend
1t may be so with others;
1t would seem strange if it were not,
Since all mankind were brothers.
Oh! would that we had charity,
For every man and woman,
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know {" to err is human"
Then let us Danish jealousy
Let's lift our fallen brother,
And as we journey down life's road,

not in another, because one opens its
cup and takes it in, while the otho-

rains goodness and mercy as well as the
dew, and if we lack them, it is because
we will not open our hearts to receive
them.

TRUE LONELINESS.

She who thinks anoble heart
Better than noble mien;
HonOrs virtue more than art,
Though 'tis less in fashion seen;
Whatso'er her fortune be,
She's the bride-the wife-for me
She who deems that inward grace
Far surpasses outward show;
She who values less the face
Than that charm the soul can throw;
Whatso'er her fortune be,
She's the bride.t the wife for me.
She who knows the heart requires
Something more than lips Of dew:
That when loves brief rose expires
Love itself dies with it too
Whatso'er her fortune be,
She's the bride-the wife-fOr me.
