ATerribla Romance.

In the year 1865, young girl of very
prepOssessing appearance, from one of
the interior provinces of France, was
placed at Paris in the service of man
depraved by all thevices of that cor
rupt metropolis. Smitten with her
charms, he attempted her ruin, but was
unsuccessful. Incensed at his defeat,
he determined on revenge, and, in fur
therance of his design, secretly placed
in her trunk articles belonging 10 him,
and marked with his name. He then
denounced her tO magistrate, who
caused her to be arrested, and the miss
ing articles being found in her posses
sion, she was trial. In her defense she
could only assert her ignorance of the
manner in which the property came
into her trunk, and protest her innO-
cence. She was found guilty, and the
sentence of death was pronounced
upon her. The hangman's Office was
insufficiently performed, it being the
first attempt of the executiOner's son.
The body was placed in the hands of
surgeon, by whom it had been pur-
chased. He Immediately conveyed it
home, and was proceeding to dissect it,
when he perceived a slight warmth
about the heart. By the prompt use
of proper remedies he restored the sus-
pended animation. In the meantime |
he sent for trustworthy priest, and |
when the unfortunate girl opened her
eyes she supposed herself in another
world, and addressing the priest (who
was man of marked and majestic
countenance), exclaimed: Eternal
Father! you know my innocence; have
pity on mep In her simplicity, be-
lieving she beheld her Maker, she con-
tinued to sue for mercy and it was some
time before she realized she was still in
the land of the living. The surgeon
and priest, being fully convinced of her
innocence, she retired to village far
distant from the scene of he unjust
punishment. The community subse-
quently became acquainted with her
story, and the author of her misery be-
came an object of reproach and con-
tempt, though it does appear that any
attempt was made to bring him to JUS
tice.
Inan editorial article with the head
ing, "Not to Destroy, but to Fulfill"
the Christian Onion says: The whole
machinery, Romish or Protestant, of a
creed Of which men must assent on
pain of damnation, visible church ordi-
nances, which are the special channels
of Gods grace, conditions of salvation,
which consists not so much in right
ness of lie as in intellectual conviction
and mystical experiences and outward
observance---all this is fading out of the
belief of the world almost as swiftly as
the mists of q summer morning melt
away before the sun. The work OF
demolition goes on almost of itself.
The service for true laborers is less to
clear away the old than to plant the
new. Above all things, men need to
be impressed with the transcendant
importance of personal character, and
with the universal and intimate pres
ence of God.

Joseph Hueys, Of Portland, Ind,
so diabolically outraged two months
since by, as is supposed, a jealous rival,
was married, few days since, to the
lady who was the cause of the trouble.
It will be remembered the deed was
done at night while lTueys was sleep
ing-done 20 quickly that before he
was fairly awake the perpetrator had
escaped with the organ of which he
had decapitated the unfortunate man.
Large rewards and strong endeavors
have failed to find any trace Of the
fiend, who, before the deed was COM
mitted, had been heard to threaten
that Hueys should never marry that
woman. Butt has turned out she stuck
to her original intent, and married
him ut any rate. Her name was Mrs.
Kate Mccoy, . handsome, intelligent
widow, possessed of many personal
attractions, and her company was
sought after. They were privately
married at her residence and are now
keeping house, in spite of her jealous
lover. 4t

The young man who thinks he can
carry his boyish pranks into the SER
ious business of life is not a man, and
defrauds himself and his employer.
After work, play" That should sat
isfy the most sanguine. s.Business
before pleasure" is the motto of the
prudent man whose guide is expert
ence, and it is sufficient for the novi-
tiate in active life.
But it is despicable to see the young
man just starting in life 50 welded to
his former enjoyments as to place
them above present duties. Yet this
is often the case. The young man,
who, to steer his own bark, launches
forth on the sea Of life, too often looks
back on the pleasures he leaves be-
hind. and, forgetful Of present duties,
steers back to past enjoyments. Z 'q5 ! !
There is no royal road to success
any more than to Knowledge. He
who would succeed must work; and
after all there is more real enjoyment
in work, which has worthy object,
than in play or pleasure, intended to
kill time. We remarked few days
ago to a business man whose present
means are amply sufficient, but who
worked really harder than any of his
numerous employees, that he ought to
take it easy. Said he: IT am never
30 happy Is when I have more than I
can do. ] Inay wear ont in working,
but ! dread to rust out in idling." He
was right. His work was part d

jOUNTRY'S AND TRUTHS! =
THE QUEEN, THE DUKE. AND
THE GROWN.
BY FANNIE ROPER rEupaE.

tAssf@ -
True politeness has been variously
defined. One little boy said it meant,
ito make everybody feel satisfied;
and another, doing the kindest thing
in the kindest way" / think good
Queen Victoria understood and prac-
ticed it, too, when she spoke 30 kindly
to the old Duke of Wefliugton at the
time the crown of England fell from
his hands. It was on some grand
public occasionrthe opening Of Parli-
ament. I think-and the whole court
was in attendance. At such times the
sovereign does not .wear the large,
heavy crown that is placed ON his
head at the time Of his coronation;
but it is borne before him, on = little
satin cushion, carried By = nohleman
of high rank, who walks backward, so
that while the crown is always in front
of the monarch as he goes in or out,
the bearer of the royal diadem does
not have to turn his back on the king
or queen. On the occasion / speak
of, the Duke OF Wellington, then quite
An old man, held the crown on its
lainty satin cushion as he stood be-
fore Her Majesty. It was novel po-
sition for the old soldier, who had
spent most Of his years in fighting the
battles of his country; and the new
houses of Parliament having been
erected in his absence from England,
he was not altogether familiar with
the surroundings. The business Of
the morning being over, the Queen
was about to retire, when the venera-
bic Duke, crown in hand, backing out
according to court etiquette, forgot
the little step at the foot of the throne,
stumbled, and in attempting to regain
his footdOld, dropped the massive
crown from his hands. 1t came with
great violence to the floor. and rolled
quite across the hall, badly bruising
the diadem, and scattering the costly
Jewels in every direction. The old
Duke. accomplished courtier as he
was. stood for moment aghast at the
injury inflicted on so precious an ar
ticle, and then would have stopped to
gather up the scattered jewels But
the Queen saw in an instant his evil
dent distress as we'll as embarrass-
ment, and rightly judged that he would
prefer to be left alone. So, with the
genuine kindness of heart, and quick
perception of what will be pleasing to
others, for which she is 50 remark
able, the Queen stepped gracefully
forward, and Offering her hand to the
venerable statesman, as if to assist
him in rising, said, cordially: Il trust
Your Grace is not hurt, and that you
will by morning have wholly recovered
from the unpleasant shock" Then,
without . single glance at the crown
or jewels - they lay prone on the car
pet-seeming, indeed, net even to have
noticed the casuality-the gentle, con-
.idefate lady passed out, the court
following, of course; and the Duke
was left to recover his equanimity
and collect the scattered jewels at hia
own leisure. saf a3'1lg,tls
How grsteful he must have felt fol
this thoughtful Kindness on the part
Of his sovereign; and how beautiful
: the model, not only Of true politeness
but Of gentle, womanly courtesy, that
is found in this little incident.

C0neealed Weapons. s
The inventor of the pistol, whoever
he was and the origin of the weapon,
We believe, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, is shro1ded in some obscure
ty, and has conferred anything but
benefit upon the race.
It is said that the first pistols were
made at Pistoga, in Italy, which town
still has considerable manufactures of
fire arms and cutlery. The invention
probably was recommended at FIRST as
protection against violence; high
waymen and assassins, from providing
themselves with the latest improve
ments in the way Of pocket fire arms,
the safety of the honest man however
we'll armed he may be, is rather en-
dangcred than promoted by the inven-
ton. Perhaps the difficulty cannot
now be avoided, but in one view it is
very unfortunate circumstance that
the police OF our cities are provided
with these dangerous implements
The arrest Of murderer by the use
of q pistol may perhaps be palliated,
Vue VIC 0AOOStDk VA CNCA a
under such circumstances is punish
ment before trial, when, as is not un-
frequently the case innocent by-stand-
ers or passengers are wounded. 1t is
poor consolation that the preservation
Of the peace involves the danger Of
killing or manning peaceable persons.
The law requires such formalities be-
fore military force is employed that
those who value their lives and limbs
have a chance to get out of the way.
Bnt when the police force is militia
ry force disguised, any unfortunate
man in public street may have his
life imperiled.
But it may be said that rogues,
thieves and bullies, 80 armed, and the
police therefore must be armed too.
There is law against carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons, which ought
to be enforced. The finding of pis-
pol or any other weapon upon the per-
son Of disorderly man should be as
strong presumptive evidence against
him as the finding of skeleton key
or slung shot in the possession Of .
thief. There was a time when a
tramper or any other person without
visible means of support" found with
1 pistol in his possession, would re-
Quirc very strong evidence to indicate
SimeelI 'as :. -
The habitual carrying Of arms leads
to wounding and murder, when at the
worst, only noise and q blundering
blow or two with the fists would have
happened but fol. the unhappy pres.
ence Of pistols.
Let the law be enforced. -
