Speaking Of instances where history
has been perverted, q writer says:
Another revolutionary fable which has
imposed ever on that usually hypercriti-
cal writer. Mr.. Carlyle. is the horrible
story Of Mile de Sombreuil. Rumor has
it that during the " massacres Of Septem.
Der her father was dragged from prison
and was about 10 be murdered BY the
mob, when she flung herself before him,
begging for his life and crying out that
she wal q friend Of the people. III
that be SO" said one Of the furious crowd,
" let US see you drink the blood Of an
aristocrat," and tearing a heart from one
Of the corpses he squeezed it into a cup
and presented it to her. The heroic girl,
so runs the story, drank il off, and thus
saved her fathers life. The romantic
fable, however, is only one more paste
jewel to add to our collection. As mat.
ter of fact, the courage, beauty aud de-
votion Of Mile de Sombreuil, as she
pleaded for her fathers life, completely
disarmed the murderous gang; and when,
overcome by her emotions, she tainted,
n of them offered her a glass of water,
a drop from bis bloody hand fell into the
cup, aud hence the horrible story, which
is repeated by every historian Of the
French revolution. Louis Blanc first
published the true account; he heard it
from a lady TO whom Mile de SombreuiI
had herself related it; in fact, the latter
always told the story to show that al.
though cruel, the men Of September
we're accessible to pity.

if they had at least been through there.
An Englishman has but one disinter-
ested affection, and that is for his hat.
He is ever unhappy if not in immediate
possession of that civilized deformity.
We say the attachment is disinterested,
for the hat makes no return whatever.
On the contrary, it deprives him of hair,
makes his head ache, and keeps him in
constant anxiety lest some one sits
down on it. He carries and clings to an
umbrella merely to shield his hat. The
umbrella affords no protection to any
other part of his person, but his hat is
safe. In England they, the hats, are
made of sheet iron, and could be trans
mitted from father to son but for the
Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales
INDUCES in changes of a slight sort, but
changes, and all England, Ireland and
Scotland Immediately order new hats,
sheetironed and silk polished, like unto
that Of the Prince of Wales.
