Interesting Account Of the Manner IN
sohich it ocas accomplished.
The following interesting particulars
of the escape of Marshal Bazine from
his prison in the Isle Ste. Marguerite
have been received
The apartments occupied by Mar
shall Bazine opened upon a terrace,
upon a lofty, percipitous cliff, over
hanging the sea. A sentry was posted
on the terrace with orders to watch the
prisoners every movement. During
Sunday evening the Marshal walked
upon the terrace with Col, Villette, his
aid de-camp. At ten clock he retired
as usual, apparently to sleep. but be-
fore daybreak he had affected his es-
cape He must have crossed the ter
race in the dead of night, and, eluding
the sentinel, gained the edge of the
precipice, whence, by means Of a knotted
rope, he descended to the sea. He
evidently slipped during the descent
and tore his hands, as the rope was
found stained with blood in several
places
Under the cliff, in a hired boat. were
Bazine's wife and cousin They re-
ceived him as he reached the water,
and Madam La Marechal, taking the
oars herself rowed directly to the
strange steamer, which had been lying
off the island since the previous even
ing. They reached the steamer in
safety, were taken on board, and the
Steamer then put to sea.
1t is reported that Marshal Bazine
landed at San Rels, and Travelled by
way Of Turin to Balse. At the latter
place he took train to Brussels, where
be arrived at seven o'clock Tuesday
morning. It is believed that the rope
found on the cliff Of the Isle of Ste
Marguerite was suspended there to
misIead the authorities as to the man
ner of the Marshal's escape, which was
effected in some other way, through
the connivance Of the guards.
lie Soir, inspector, states that Ba-
Zalne mad given MS parole not 10 leave
the Island. The precautions were
consequently relaxed. The sentry was
withdrawn from the terrace, every
morning at five O'Clock, it being con-
sidered unnecessary to keep HIM there
after daylight Two soldiers belong
ing to the garrison at Fort Sevear, saw
the Marshal on the terrace at $3.50
Monday morning.
The first news Of the affair came to
Grasse, the nearest place on the coast,
and the magisracy of the town imme-
diately sent officers in every direction
to search for the fugitive. There was
great commotion in Marseilles when
the facts became known. An investi-
CATION was opened Col EiIlette, who
was walking with the Marshal on the
evening Of the escape, was discovered
there and imprisoned. The command
ant of Fort Ste. Marguerite was placed
under arrest, and Gen Lewal has gone
to the island to investigate the affair

The Outward Token.
Henry " ard Beecher.l


Then there are great m any who go
out patronizingly. Their whole air is
that of persons who have found out
something which they want to tell to
other persons, They feel so good, they
are so sorry for folks who do not feel
as they do, that they are everywhere
talking and offending persons pride.
yet they are "unwortfy,t to have receiv-
ed such gifts as they have received;
and it pleases God to employ sush in
strumeutalities as they are" There is
ever so much of that; aud it is ofens-
i've both to God and to men Of good
sense
A woman brings up her household
through sorrow, through JOY, with
hardship, with labor, with inward trials,
that send her to God; day after days
she ripens, she beautifes-for there in
no beauty like that which the grace OF
Gcd causes to strike outward from the
soul, and illumine the features; home
illness itself forgets to be unbeautlful,
and learns to shine under the influence
Of grace; and though this woman may
never have spoken even to a sister
Christian on the subject of religion yet
she lives with such an example OF pa
tience, and purity, and discretion, and
tenderness that her children see it, and
her neighbors see it, aud take an ideal
of life from it which they would not
have had but for her, and become
admirable teachers and preachers, 1t
may do by reason of her silent
testimony; and thus she is instrumental
in bringing many into the kingdom OF
God. She never uttered a word In
meeting, but she never ceased to be
witness for God to all who looked upon
her. | would rather have one little
sprig of mignonette than cart load OF
sunfowers. | would rather have one
single fragrant rose bud than acres and
acres of rank and coarse flowers; and
so I say, the fragrance OF Christ the
beauty of Christ, the gentleness OF
Christ, the loveableness of Christ are
worth more than any outward
observances.

She now, with handkerchief on her
head, stands in the doorway of house
on Fifth street, near Park, where she
occupies little room and works at
mantaua-making. She glances up and
down the street without seeing the
coming of the one she is looking for.
The husband is reported to have been
killed in the Mexican war, and is sup
posed to have been, but the wife hopes
that it is not true. The poor woman
is said to receive at regular periods

Adams Express Company, from whom

lieves it comes from her missing hus-

any could not help being struck by the
change which has come over her. you
know not very long since she was still
beautiful, although she was short, fat
and squatty, now she is fat, squatty
and very ugly. Her features are SO
shockin9ly coarse, and even her once
lovely eyes have lost their quandam
brilliancy. The expression of her
countenance is still fnc, but there is
grief written on every line of it, and
what is worse, that indescribable jcae

ment. She seemed to me to be look
ing at the pictures as if she were in a
kind Of dreamy, somnambulistic state,
as though her eyes indeed saw them,
but her thoughts were far removed
from all that surrounded her. She
went over the Louvre, thence to the
Alsacl-Loraine exhibition, and in the
e1ening she attended a scientific lecture.
So learn by the papers. Not an
hour Of other time is wasted. She is
up at five and writes until one O'clock
then she breakfasts, reads, drives, sees
her friends and does all those things
she has to do. Eleven O'Clock beholds
her in bed, and they tell me she falls
asleep as soon as ever her head touches
the pillow

ENJOYING RELIGIoN.--We are tired
of hearing people tell about enjoying
religion or mourning because they
do not enjoy religion. Religion was not
intended to be enjoyed. Theoretic-
ally, it is abstract truth like Euclid :
propositions practically, it is merely
correct living, The object of religion
is not to be enjoyed, but to enable peo-
pie to enjoy life, and arm them with
faith to meet that which lies beyond.
1t is a means, not an end; and peo-
pie who are longing after enjoyment of
religion are very apt to divorce 1t from
its proper influence in mellowing the
asperities of life, and prompting to
kindness charity and love.

EUery merchant. manufacturer
or business man Who has become
prominently rich, has made his
fortune by JudiciOus advertising
No exception TO this rule can be
cited! Stewart, the Prince of
Merchants, when a poor man, was
driven 10 advertising, as a last
resort, 10 get his stock turned into
money so as 10 meet a note. Ar
guing from his that If IL was
good for him in adversely, h.
could make ii still better in pros
perity, he became Il persistent ad
vertiser. and thus gained his co.
lOssal fortune.
Some merchants say it is not worth
while To advertise; for no person reads
advertisements; yet every merchant in
this county will read this ADVERTISE
ment, and if he is wise he will profit
by its suggestion, If he has anything to
offer w,rth advertising How much
more then will those read them who
are not 30 largely supplied W tn read~
ing matter, are at leisure IN the even
ing, and must depend ON their paper for
their local news, the most in portant
item of which is where they can find
just what they want when they come to
town to make their purchases, lf your
stock is so old, rusty, dusty and nut of
style that it is wgpthless, or it it lie run
down so that you have nothing left that
people would W mt. it is not worth
while for you to advertise. But il it is
new. fresh and sparkling, up to the
times, and such as the people want,
don't hide them, but publish to the
world that you have thNm, and want
to sell them at a fair prizes
