a Claim to Human GRATITUDE.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faceu, tenuet
hearted peasant girl OF Normany, msR
great history by one desperate acti
Sickened by the saturnalia OF the Frencn
revolution, and moved 70 desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were Leading tls
flower of France to the guillotine, she ue
terrnined that she would put an end 70
Marat's bloody reign. -.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou-
sand victims for the guillctinel
He proposed to kill of the enemies OF tue
Revolution to make it perpetuall
Horrible thought
No wonder it fired the blood Of this patri-
otto peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfuge, she found MN IN
his bath, even then memorable and giving
written directions for further slaughter
He asked her the names OF the intmical
IDENTITIES who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, aud he wrote them down.
"That is WELT Before d week IL over
they shall all be brought to the guillotine.'
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged 1t with su-
pernatural force up to the hilt in the heart OF
Marat.
"Come TO me, my dear friend, come to
me-" cried Marat, and expired under the

In the Corcorau gallery at Washington is
famous painting OF Charlotte, represented
as behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is a thrilling sad picture, full OF sorrow
for her suffering country, and Of uDconquer-
able hate for her country's enemies.
What "A lesson in this tragic storyl Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand peo-
pic would Marat have sacrificed TO his un-
hsly passion of power!
Methods are quite as murderous anu IN
exorable az men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page of history is full OF murders by
authority and by mistaken ideas! In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun
drcds of millions have been allowed to die
and IA many more killed by unjustifiab!e
bigotry and by bungling.

are not the untrcd and imaginary remedies
of some dabster chemist intent on making
