swell, Mother Guerard," cried a

"Well, Mother Guerard," cried a
young man, leaping out of carriage
that stopped before the door of the
aube7ge next morning; what news have
you for me2 Has mother arrived?"
ais it your mother?" replied the
landIady, who seemed quite good
after her nights rest. There is lady
up stairs waiting for some friends; but
she does not speak French easily, and
seemed unwilling to talk. We could
scarcely persuade her to go to bed"
Show me the room!" cried Arthur,
running into the house.
They soon arrived at the door.
Mother motherl cried he, but re-
ceived no answer. la
'sThe door is only latched, for we
have no robbers in this part of the
country" said the landlady.
But a formidable obstacle opposed
their entrance. They became alarmed,
especially when they heard TIE shrieks
of the little girl, and burst open the
door.
The first object that presented itself
was the face of the robber, violently up
turned from beneath the bed, and with
protruding tongue and eyeballs; the
next was the form of Mrs. Martin in the
position we left her. She was still pull
ing with both hands at the scarf, and
glaring wildly towards the head of the
bed. The child had thrown its arms
around her neck, and was crying; but
she paid no attention. The terror of
that dreadful night had driven her mad.

Story Of o Picture.

A painter once wanted a picture of
innocence, and drew the likeness of a
child at prayer. The supplicant was
kneeling beside his mother; the palms
of his uplifted hands were reverently
pressed together; his rosy cheek spoke
of health, and his mild blue eye was up
turned with the expression of devotion
and peace. The portrait of young Ru-
pert was much priced by the painter,
who hung it on his study wall, and
called it /" Innocence"
Years passed away, and the artist be-
came an old man. Still the picture
hung there. He had often thought of
making counterpart the picture of
"Guilt"- had not found the oppor-
tunity. At last he effected his purpose
by paying visit to neighboring Jail.
On the damp floor of his cell lay a
wretched culprit named Randall, heavily
ironed. Wasted was his body and hol-
low was his eye; vice was visible in his
face. The painter succeeded admirably,
and the portrait of young Rupert and
Randall were hug side by side, for elm
nocence" and "Guilt."
But who was young Rupert and who
was Randall? Alas the two were one.
Old Randall was young Rupert led astray
by bad companions, and ending his life
in the damp and shameful dungeon.

Jenny Lind,

Brooklyn McNally writes: Il saw
Jenny Lind mad once. A girl that was
engaged to clean out her room stayed in
there too long once, and Jenny caught
her. There the girl was before the glass
using Jenny's pomatum, and putting on
airs as if she was Jenny herself. But,
Lord, how she did fly out of that room,
and Jenny after her, spouting Dutch
like a steam engine. Jenny couldn't
talk English when she got excited. She
was quite plain, but she had such a
pleasant way. She used to wear her
hair combed down over both ears, and
the ladies of New York got to dressing
their hair in the same way. They didn't
know why Jenny wore her hair that
way. 1t was because there was some
thing the matter with one of her ears.
The ear looked all right, but when she
was born it growed together, and SO you
see she had but one ear. But Lord, what
woman she was She made me pres
ent of fifty dollars in gold, and put
hundreds of dollars in my pocket by
way of work. One day she sent me in
search of poor cabinet-maker who
came from Stockholm. She found out
his condition, and gave him about $500

An Anecdote of N. p. Willis.

An article by Mrs. Elizabeth Oakes
Smith, entitled " "reminiscences of N. P.
Willis" appears in Bald,oin's Monthly,
from which we take the subjoined anec-
dote:
Mr.. Willis was always ready with q
good word for any man or woman strug-
Cling with the sensitiveness of genius
over the thorny way of poverty or neg
lect. With delicate tact he would find
way to set them right in the public
mind, while so many editors passed them
by in silence or gave them sharp prick
with the critical pen. 1 remember one
case in point: Emily Chubbuck, a
vivacious and poetic woman, had been
writing for mere pittance for papers
and magazines, while others, with no
more poetic ability and no more scope
of thought, were well paid and well ac-
cepted BY the public. She complained
of this to Mr.. Willis, in a half-playful,
half-aggrieved letter, to which he re-
piled: -
elbow can you expect anything bet
ter? Your genius is not of kind to
affiliate with your name. Who will read
a poem signed ChubbuckP Sign your
self Fanny FORESTER and you will
see the change"
She did so, and her success was COM
plete, as those who have followed the
fortunes of this interesting woman, af-
terward the wife of the East Indi~n
missionary Judson, will remember.
From this hint of Mr.. Willis arose a
small army of alliteratives-" Minnie
Myrtle" Minnie May" etc., till these
were superseded by masculine eogno
mems. Mr.. Willis was one of the first
to recognize myself under the nom d,
plume Of :" Ernest Helfenstein," as die
Edgar Poe.

The Artistic Girl.


It would be delusion to suppose that
she enters the room. She is not one of
the soft, gliding creatures invented by
noyelists, and supposed to steal into the
heart as into the presence Of the hero.
Miss law bursts upon you at once, like
a well-trained hurricane. She is ex-
pansive, eloquent of voice and of ges-
ture-were quite sure that the remark
would not cost me my life, / would say
she is noisy. Yet there is nothing about
her to which exception can be taken.
She speaks good English with an elegant
pronunciation. She is perfectly fresh
and frank, and has habit of saying
what she thinks, which, charming as it
is now, augurs i'll for the man destined
one day to call this thing of brightness
his own. She is this morning clad in
enthusiasm, and dark green of the hue
known as Morris green. Her figure,
very tall, slight and elegant, is freely
shown through the tight robe actually
strained over it; her fair hair is not laid
smoothly in any Ineligible order, but
suggests that it has been brushed in op-
posite directions by insane ladies' maids.
A Rubens hat of astounding grandeur
of conception crowns this startling
figure. Miss Daw is armed with q book
of sketches, and has Just come from
Heatherley's or the SIade School of Art.
I forget which. She is fnll Of art and
artistic talk-that is to saw, of art of one
kind. Her warnings toward music and
poesy are of very mild nature. as COM
pared with her enthusiasm for the arts
plastic and pictorial. Miss Margery
Daw has made good progress in both Of
the latter. She has thrust aside painting
on pottery with scorn and derision; she
has advanced from water-colors to oils !:
draws and models in the life school
Whether she will become second Rosa
Bonheur remains to be seen. Probably.
as she has both beauty and money. she

bassador of President Lincoln imme-

Quick and astute, the Cardinal has
tened to the proud Yankee, took him
warmly by the hand, and said: "All is
settled. Come, come, the Pope wants to
see you immediately
Plus TX showed himself most friendly,
and the envoy departed very well satis-
fed with his work, But sood after
wards President Lincoln was assas-
sinated like simple Gear or poor
Caliph, and his successor never renewed
the negotiation with the Court of Rome.
But eventually the wish of President
Lincoln was granted.

THAT NEW SILVER DOLLAR.


The new silver dollar makes our in
wards yearn the more for the dollar of
the grandfathers. This dollar commits
an outrage on the American eagle which
is enough to make the bones of the
fathers rattle in their narrow cells. The
statement has been published that an
artist from England was imported to
engrave this coin. Thus an enemy hath
converted our national bird into goose.
This will explain the base design which
is patent on the face Of the coin.
This is not merely matter of taste,
but of physical possibilities. No eagle
could fly with his wings in that posture.
No eagle could place his wings in that
posture. If caught stealing, and nailed
by the tips of the wings to barn-door,
he might be thrown into something near
this shape. The tail is still more an inn
possibility. 1t hangs down far below,
as the long train of a woman's dress
might, if she were suspended by the
neck. 1t curves in like dogs tail
when cowed, only instead of curving
between his legs, it curves around un-
der his feet, making platform OF
forum for him to stand on.
No eagle or other creature like this
did ever exist The nature of the deed,
and the fact that it was done by Brit
isher, a minion from the country of gold
bugs, gives us right to suspect the mo-
tive of the designer to be base. We
suspect that he is one of those who call
this false dollar, and therefore that he
has designedly put on a false eagle.
As great an outrage has been perpe-
trated ON the head on the other side of
the coin. Here is massive face, es-
pecially heavy in chin and neck, but
without any back partto the head. Re-
move the impossible posterior cap, and
the form of the head above base line
drawn across the neck from the chin
would be pyram1dal. This head has nc
character, no force, no humanity, no
fidelity. Away with it, and give us
back the dollar of our grandfathers.

THE NEW BROOM AT THE VATICAN.
Letter from Rome.l


There is not little to admire in the
new Pope's character: great activity !;
a superior Intelligence and culture; rare
courage and energy; frankness and SIM
phcity; a careful parsimony disdain
of formality, afectation and pretense.
He asked his Master of the Horse, Mar
quis Serlupi, what amount of available
cattle there was in the Pontifcal stables,
and upon the Cavalerizzo, or Great
Equery, pleading utter ignorance of the
subject, he dismissed him with a bland
smile, bidding him go and ascertain
within the hour. He sneered at Gen
eral Kanzler, his Pro-Ministro delle
Armi, who had drawn up in the corridor
a large array of the Palatine Guards "a
militia recruited among the artisans of
the purlieus of the Leonine City, and
the Trastevera no connection with the
Noble Guard -" What he meant to do
with all that army? Non voglio gia far
la guerra, TO-" He has already sent
many of the parasitic attendants whom
the benevolent Plus had encouraged,
about their business, and is fully bent
on prescribing luxury, and curtailing
expenditure. In the household as well
as in the Church he is sure to prove
himself an absolute as well as provi-
dent ruler. But he is impetuous and ir-
ritable, and he lacks that frmness which
can only be found in alliance with a
calm and equal temper. He is not to be
relied upon for consistency and already
the organs of that Ultramontane party,
who are displeased with the conciliatory
tendencies evinced by the Camerlengo
Pecci in the Conclave, are busily repro
ducing old pastorals and letters to Plus
TX, in which Archbishop Pecci showed
himself an implacable and uncompro.
missing foe to the spoilers of the Sanctu.
ary, and displayed the zeal of one more
Popish than the Pope himself.
