A Sound Afar.

About midway in the curve of one OF
the numerous bays, marking the coast
line, and several hours distant from
the Mount, stands a stone cross erect
ed by an English marauder to indicate
the place of his landing. The symbol
is visible on all sides from afar, for
before 1t are the sands and the sea,
and behind stretches the land barren
of wood-low, level, covered only with
marsh grass. Toward this monument

The MARQUIS Intervenes.


The evening Of the same day, his
Excellency, in the seclusion Of small
private chamber adjoining the sale du
gouvernement, stood looking down at
his desk on which were strewn papers
and messages containing the latest
news from Paris and received at the
Mount but few hours before. That
the character Of this information, po-
litical and social, was little to his lik-
ing, seemed manifest from his man.

fully; then frowned and threw down
the pen he had been using to mark, or
make note of, their contents.
"Versailles-a mob! Sugar-plums to
placate them! Sugar-plums!" he re-
peated; and, impatiently turning away,
walked to the window. There for
some time he stood peering out, when,
the current of his thoughts slowly
changing, he took from his pocket a
watch, and examined the jeweled
face. "Time they were back!" About
| to return to his table and task, loud
knocking arrested the impulse, and
testify the Governor called out;
glanced toward the threshold and sur
veyed the intruder.
"a message from the commandant,

trooper Of the Mount, with a respect
full, though nervous salute.

No Possibility That Memorial Day

finally disappear from the list OF holi'

will not hold good in the test OF ex,

exercised by one who is moral

America has one very con-
spicuous example of the latter
kind of heroes, though the
former, the examples of moral
courage, of heroism, are after
all very numerous, but their
being very modest, we do not
discover them until some great
event calls them to our atten-
ton. They are seen in every
walk of life, every day and in
the most humble circumstances.
Great is physical heroism, but
moral heroism is greater.
1t is moral heroism that en-
ables one to devote his life to
truth without fear of conse-
quences. 1t is moral heroism
that enables him to say, though
he had occupied conspicuous
