FROM THE FRENCH.

One evening, a short time after the
battle Of Fontenot, (1745,) a group
of the kings body-guard was congre-
gated near the Matona basin, at Yer
sailles, listening to two of their num-
Der discussing a subject which at that
period was rarely matter of contro-
versy in military circles.
"Refuse a duel after public afrontv'

whose bronzed features were rendered
almost ferocious by thick red mus
tache; "it is stain that all the waters
of the deluge would not wash away:

fusing than in accepting a DUEL

to passion, envy, or vengeance; and

How a Woman Corners a Hen,

When a woman has a hen to drive
into coop she takes hold of her hoops
with both hands, shakes them quiet
lly toward the delinquent, and says,
"Shew! there" The hen takes one
look at the object to convince herself
it's woman, and then stalks maiesti-
cally into the coop, in perfect disgust
of the sex. A man don't do that way.
He goes out doors and says, cit is sim
gular nobody in this house can drive
a hen but myself, Sand picking up
stick of wood hurls it at the offending
biped, and observes "get in there, you
thief" The hen Immediately looses
her reason and dashes to the opposite
end of the yard. The man straight
way dashes after her. She comes back
again with her head down, her wings
out, and followed by an assortment of
stove-wood, fruit-cans and coal-cIink-
ers, with much-puffing and very mad
man in the rear. Then she skins up
on the stoop and under the barn, and
over fence or two and around the
house, and back again to the coop, all
the while talking as only an excited
hen can talk, and all the while follow
ed by things convenient for handling,
and by man whose coat is on the
ground, and whose perspiration and
profanity appear to have no limit By
this time the other hens have come out
to take hand in the debate, and help
dodge the missles-and then the man
says every hen on the place shall be
sold in the morning, and puts on his
things and goes down street, and the
woman dons her hoops and has every
one of those hens housed and contented
in two minutes, and the only sound
heard on the premises is the hammer
ing by the oldest boy as he mends tie
broken pickets.-Dan5ury Nea0s. '.

To the Queen.

0 loyal to the royal in thyself,
And loyal to thy land as this to thee
Bear witness, that rememberable day
When, pale as yet, and fever worn, the Prince
Who scarce had pluck'd his Pickering life again
From halfway down the shadow of the grave,
Past with thee thro' thy people and their love
And London rolld one tide of joy thro' all
Her trebled millions and long leagues of man
And welcome. Witness, too, the silent cry,
The prayer of many race and creed and cline
Thunderless lightnings striking under sea
From sunset and sunrise of all thy realm.
And that true North, whereof we lately heard
A strain to shame us-''Keep you to yourselves
So loyal is too costly" Friends-your love
Is. but burden: loose the bond, and go.
Is this the tone of Empire? Here the faith
That made US rulers2 This, indeed, her voice
And meaning, whom the roar of Hougoumont
Left mightiest of all peoples under Heaven?
What shock has fool her since, that she should
speak
So feebly ? Wealthier-wealthier- by
hour
The voice of Britain, Or sinking land
Some third-rate isle, half-lost among her seas
There rang her voice when the full city pealed
Thee and thy Prince! The loyal to their Crown
Are loyal to their own far sons, who love
Our Ocean Empire with her boundless homes.
For ever-broadening England, and her throne
In our vast Orient, and one isle, one isle,
That knows not her own greatness. IF she
knows
And breads it we are fall n-but thou, my Queen,
Nor for itself, but thro' thy living love
For one to whom l made it o'er his grave
Sacred, accept this old imperfect tale.
New-old, and the shadowing Sense at war with
Soul,
Rather than thatgay King, whose name, ghost,
Streams Ikea cloud, man-shaped from mountain
peak,
And cleaves to Cairn and Cromlech still or him
Of Geofrey's book OR him of Malleor's one
Touch d by the adulterous finger of time
That hovered between war and wantonness,
And crownings and dethronements take withal
Thy poets blessing, and his trust that heaven
Will blow the tempest in the distance back
From thine and ours. For some are scared who
mark
Or wisely or unwisely, sign of storm,
Waverings of every yane with every wind,
And wordy trucklings to the transient hour,
And fierce or careless looseners of the faith, 49,
And softness breeding scorn of simple life,
Or cowardice, the child of lust for gold,
Or labor, with groan and not voice,

And that which knows not, ruling that which
knows,
To its own harm. The goal of this great world
Lies beyond sight: yet-if our slowly grown
And crownd republics crowning common
sense,
That saved her many times, not fail-their fears
Are morning shadows huger than the shapes
That cast them, not those gloomier which torego
The darkness of that battle in the west,
Where all of high and holy dies away.

md resolution had obtained a firm and

and resolution had obtained firm and
habitual ascendency over it. If ever,
however, it broke it's bonds, he was
most tremendous in wrath. In his
expenses he was honorable, but exact;
liberal in contributions to whatever
promised utility; but frowning and
unyielding on all visionary projects,
and all unworthy calls on his charity.
His heart was not warm in it's affec-
tions; but he exactly calculated every
mans value, and gave him a solid es-
TEEN proportioned to it. His person,
you know, was fine, his stature exactly
what one would wish, his department.
easy, erect and noble; the best horse
man of his age, and the most graceful
figure that could be seen ON horseback.
ALTHOUGH in the circle of his friends,
where he might be unreserved with
safety, he took a free share in CONVEX
sation, his colloquial talents were not
above mediocrity, possessing neither
Icopiousness of ideas, nor fuency of
words. In public, when called on for
Ia sudden opinion, he was unready,
short and embarrassed. Yet he wrote
readily, rather diffusely, in an easy and
correct style. This he had acquired
by conversation with the world, for his
education was merely reading, writing
and common arithmetic, to which he
Iadded surveying at later day. His
time was employed in action chiefly
reading little, and that only in agri-
culture and English history. His cor
Irespondence became necessarily extern
sive, and, with journalizing his agri-
cultural proceedings, occupied most of
his leisure hours within doors. On
the whole, his character was, in it's
mass, perfect, in nothing bad, in few
points Indifferent; and it may truly be
said, that never did nature and fortune
combine more perfectly to make man
great, and to place him in the same
constellation with whatever worthless
have merited from man an everlasting
remembrance. For his was the singu-
| lar destiny and merit, of leading the
armies of his country successfully
through an arduous war, for the es-
tablishment of it's independence; of
conducting its councils through the
birth of government, new in its forms
and principles, until it had settled
down into quiet and orderly train;
and of scrupulously obeying the laws
through the whole of his career civil
anu n1fTTUary, OF WHICH the history or
the world furnishes no other example.

Alexander H. Stephens,

| A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says: e.,-..
| Alexander Fl. Stephens emerged from
1.-THE Kimball House, wrapped up in
three oyercoats and a horse blanket.
The bundle with a white head sticking
out was put in a carriage right end up,
and propped in position by two crutch-
les. The bundle then coughed, and
said it was all right, and away the car
riage rolled to the Capitol. The bum
die was then taken out, unrolled, till
IStephens was found. Leaning on two
stout men, with two more carrying
each crutch, the procession entered
the House of Representatives. The
building was packed as full as ever I
saw it packed before. Ladies, politi-
clans, members Of the Legislature, citi-
zens, niggers and children had all
turned out.
When Stephens appeared, there went
up shout. It was long and loud,
and was followed by another louder
and longer. Then, when that died
out, another started and ran its course.
Mr.. Stephens bowed Acknowledgements
as well as he could, considering that
the two stout men made sort Of NOV

= An Old Newspaper.

We clip the following interesting
account of an old newspaper, from the
columns of the Democratic Messenger,
published at Snow Hill, Md, which
was recently exhibited in that office:
We have received recently from Mr..
Irving Spence a newspaper, dated De-
cember 31st, 1899, and called the East
ern Shore Herald and Zntezzige1ocer.-
The paper was published at Easton,
and is in mourning for the death of
General Washington. Mr.. Spence
found it among some old papers at
home, where it has been lying, we sup
pose, for the last seyenty-one years.
There is some curious and interesting
reading in this old paper. Among
other things is letter from Patrick
Henry, dated April Is, 1899, to the
Hon. L. Pickering, Esq, Secretary OF
State, declining the mission to France
to which he had just been appointed.
He declined on account of his advanced
age and increasing debility. The most
interesting of all, however, is a letter
written from Georgetown, and dated
December 20, giving an account of the
funeral of General Washington. It
says:
"On Wednesday last the mortal part Of
Washington, the Great, the Father of his
Country, and the Friend of Man, was con-
signed to the tomb, with solemn honors
and funeral pomp. A multitude of per
sons assembled from many miles around
at Mount Vernon, the choice abode and
last residence of the illustrious chief
There were the groves, the spacious aven-
ues, the beautiful and sublime scenes, the
noble mansion-but alas! the august in
habitant was no more. The great soul
was gone. In the long
and lofty portico where oft the hero walk
ed in all his glory, now lay the shrouded
corpse. The countenance, still composed
and serene, seemed to express the dignity
of the spirit which lately dwelt in that
| lifeless form. On the
ornament at the head of the coffin was in
scribed, Surge od Judiciuna; about the mid
die of the coffin, Gloria deo. x 4
Between three and four o'clock, the SOUND
of artillery from vessel in the river, firing
minute guns, aWoke afresh our solemn sor
row-the corpse was moved-a band Of
music with mournful melody melted the
soul into all the tenderness of Woe"
Here is given the order in which the
procession was formed and moved
giving the name and position of each
pail bearer. Then is given an accoun
of the ceremonies at the vault, which
consisted of the marching of infantr.
and cavalry, the firing of artillery anc
the reading of the funeral service O
the church. The letter concludes will
