CHARLOTTE CORDAY.
BY GRACE MELBOURNE.

In the Corcoran Art Gallery at Wash
ington, there hangs beautiful picture, to
which every visitor involuntarily returns
second time to look. 1t represents a
young and beautiful girl gazing out from
behind the bars Of a prison cell. There is
such depth of sadness in the face; (; the
beautiful, pleading eyes follow one SO
wistfully, and yet, there is such high cour-
age in them. The Artist has portrayed
the expression so perfectly, that one can
scarcely realize that they are not gazing
upon real grief, and that THIS is work OF
art.
The subject OF the picture, Charlotte
Corday, was born at 81. Saturnin, in the
Department Of Orne, in l76S. She came
from noble family and was possessed of
remarkable beauty. Her life was cast in
that stormy period of Fren' Ii history, and
all that was good and heroic within
her, revolted at the blood thirsty deeds oi
Robespirre, Danton and Marat, ''lhe trium'
virate of blood" and she resolved that one
OF these oppressors must die, that her
country might in sowe measure be freed
from its thralldom.
She went to Paris, still undecided as to
whether she should slay Roblspicrre or
Marat. Hearing that the later had issued
an order for the lives Of one or two hun
dred thousand more victims for the guillp.
tine, settled the question Tor her beyond
doubt. After two unsuccessful attempts
TO gain admission to Marat, she lnlaly
prevailed by representing that she had
important news from Corea to communi-
cate. Marat informed her that a party
who had fled to Normandy, among whom
were some of her friends, would be gui llo-
lined in few days. She instantly plunged
the dagger into the villains heart
Without moments hesitation she took
her life in her hands and gave il for those
she loved. She was Immediately arrested
and brought before that merciless tribunal,
before which so many victims had quailed
in terror. Her brave, heroic spirit upheld
her through this terrible ordeal and she
boldly justified her act. She WAS con-
demned to die by the gulloine and brave
ly met her fate July l7lh, 1893.
Oh fair sweet face, behind thy prison bars,
Comes there no ray of light into thy gloom?
See those sad eyes the pale light of the stars.
Beyond the darkness of thy coming doom7
The morn ing comes the evening steals away,

Some six months ago the American Agriculturist entered upon a new ca reer of prosperity, and to- day it is far superior to any similar periodical ever produced in this or any other country. Richer in editorial strength; richer in engravings; printed on finer paper, and presented in every issue 100 columns of original reading mat ter from the ablest writers, and nearly TOO illustrations. Dr. George Thur. Der, for nearly quarter of century the editor-in-chiel of the American Agrlculturist, Joseph Harris, Byron D, Halsted, Col. NJ. C. Weld, and Andrew s. Fuller, the other long time editors, together with the other writ CTS who have made the American Az riculturist what it is to-day, are still at their posts.

The no,el Clerk suqkes Hack.

Paste it in your hat that the people of the highest position and greatest importance, as a rule, make the least trouble.
 It isn't the "loudest" or most lordly person who receives the great est attention. Every hotel Tn the land has sheltered bigger men than you.
 Don't spend half of your time in trying to devise ingenious ways to make trouble. for the servants, and the other half in making a row over your bill.
 A little genuine civilty to walters and employees goes further than an attenuated "tip"-and further than a big "tip" with the politcness left out.
 The hotel was not built for the cx- press convenience and exclusive ac- commodation of any one e:ss per son. This Is official and it will pay you to remember it.
 There may be plenty of faults about the hostelry you honor with youl presenceS, but don't make the mis. take of trying to reform them. There IS nothing in the Constitution of the United States to force you to remain If you are not satisfied .-Ex.
 Now let us hear from the talking barber and the much-abused baggage smasher.
