A CHANGE IS AS GOOD AS
BEST. : ,
Ye votaries of sofas and beds
I
Ye sloths who exertion il ileal, .
This maxim I wish to drive into your heads
A chaugo ia as good as a rest. . ' .
Ye children of Fushion and Wealth,
With countless indulgences blest,
Remember thut indoli-nee preyulh oo health,
A change is as good cs a rest.
Ye sturdy old sons of the soil,
Who work through the tiny with such test,
Tin little ye have beside lulior aud toil J
Hut little of change or of rust.
Hut ye ofmuch pleasure end cash
The sweets of employment should test;
To lut ish your time is degrading and raah
A change is as good as a rest.
That porter just over the rood.
Of this bit of kuowlerlgo po.ses.'d
From phonier to shoulder is shifting his lead,
A chitngo is as good as a ret.
That student of sciences deep,
With time's sterling valtiw imptess'tl
Now turns to "My Novel," not thinking of
sleep
A changejsasgood as rest.
That merchants guU up with the lark,
His duties are aught but a jest;
These over, he rides with his son iu the park,
A change is us good us a rest.
Aly wife, in t lia kitchen below,
For dinner proTideth her best.
Then creches a nightcap fur "dear little
Flo"
A c linn go is as good its a rest,
More relish of life is decreed
Fur all who this truth hnve ennfesa'd
Wh'i prntit it in heart und confirm it in deed
A chur.gu is as good as a rest.
They have no Utopian ilusiros,
Their spirits are seldom depross'd
Well-occupied leisure contentment inspires,
A change is as food as a rest.
Mark! then fellow mortals around,
All yo who would wish to be blest,
Much wisdom in this simple phrasu may be
found :
A change is as good as a rest.
GASTON,
THE LITTLE WOLF.
In 1324 an old latlr, named Madame do
Sariiie, livjug in Uuseony, had olio of those
nursery fijilm with her grandson, aged soven,
which ut I lie time are t reatt d as i tei n .l pins,
and aflernurds regarded us proRiei'livu vir
tue. Young master had been required to
kneel and demand pardon for some misdeed ;
young master refused. Hacking into a corner,
ha doubled his little Guts and in a voice of
infantine thunder exelaimed, "Touch me if
you dare 1" Old grandmamma rsariac wus
laiu to leavo her lebellious descendant to his
own devices ; which rebellious descendant
was (Juftot) de Kaoii.-Bet-ljOiillion. the I.ittlu
Wolf of that (iusttin household. On another
occasion the Little Wolf, oQVnded by Bap.
tiste, ordered Hapliste out of llio house.
The old servant, not taking the dismissal of u
lial.y much to heart, remained, and the next
morning performs his services as usual. Little

.ou ol her her authority, upholds I'.aptisto.
ery well ! lisps Little W oil, in on
agony of passion, "then you must chouse
i t ween lu in and me. II he stays I go.
True to his word, the young autocrat dis-
ppuured thut very niuht, nud was only recov
ered wheu he had wnnilured three good
leagues away on the Toulouse road. Another
time also he started off. This was when M.
le Coiute le Kaoiisset-Houlbon, senior, came
to take him to till Jesuits' College ut Fri-
butiig; and pupa Houlbou was a man so cold,
to stera, so severe that even the Little Wolf
was duuuled, and pr-'fened the woods and
hunger to that iron face and icy heart. This
time he was two nights in the forest ; hut the
old count caught linn ut lust and hauled him
off to Fribourg.
1 lie Jesuits received hnn kindly and edu
cated him judiciously. He had been eight
years ai the college, and had uever received
a punishment in uny shape, when cue day-
be was seventeen now the reverend father
ordered bim to kneel iltuiug the evening
lesson, as exp'atian of some collegiate ofl'eiifee
of which he hud been guilty.
"J will only keel betoro Ood, ' ho (aid to
tho father Graliee
"You must obey or leave tho colleee,"
answered the father.
''My choice U'made," replied Gvston, and
I I c. .1. . ii '
ua teiv yie cuuegu iiiuv very meniui. .
A snort tune alter tbis he came of ace.
lire father celled him into his ftii.lv, and in
the presence of a notfVry gave hipi up all the
accounts of his minority,' putting him in im
mediate, possession or the lortiino devolving
ou him through his mother, and taking his
receipt with the terrible formality and uutoni.
aton-lika solidity of his character. (Jaston
remained a short timo with his father ufler
this, but the severe rule of the old royalist
was not much to his tasto ; and. in a few
mouths the young Comte de Uaousset Houl
bon, handsome, ardent, rich, accomplii.hed
and generous, found himself in Ihe full flood
of Parisian temptation and PariB'im excess.
lie was not lone in weurmir off tho thin
lacker of modesty und humility with which
ota collegiate education mlel.t have covered
his imtiirul impetuosity ; not lonz either in
forsaking the white flag, in allegiance to nhieh
he bad been brought up, for the tri color and
the I'uitb of la jeune France. A year of
Parisiao life sent htm duu-u to hia lather's
house a very different being to what he was
even wheu he left it. From tha royalist
school-boy had emerged the republican dundy,
Papa Houlbon wis horrified. After dinner,
while Gaston smoked his cigar on the terrace,
he said to his wife (Uuston'a mother-in-law ;
lits own mother bad died wheu he was an
infant :) ' ' ,
"Madame, it will be painful to me t,o dispute
with my aon ; impossible to support bis onpo.
sition. Y ou tea hnn. ' He returdS to us rom
Paris with si beard, and a cigar between bis
lips.' Let the cigar pass; but tell bin), 1
pray you, uiadame, that it does not become
uian of bis birth to wear a beard like a moujik,
and that J shall be obliged to bim if ha will
make a sacrifice of It to my wiblies." ! '
Gaston's beard wag a vtrf flne one ; he was
vroud of it; aud It added not a little to bis
pvantv ; bat the old ma a was not one to say
so. GantOrt yielded, and the best morning
appeared with a smooth chin.
"Monsieur," said the'' count to him, "I
thank you for your deference to my wishes."
A few days after this be said oguiu to his
wile : '. .
' "Madame, I authorize you to tell my son
that he may let his beard grow ugnin. After
duly considering the mottcr, I dd not see any
objection to it."
Gaston, charmed,, locked urt his razors ;
out the old man soon grew disgusted and
impatient at the unseemly stubble thut neces
sarily prefaced the full-grown beard.
"Madnrno," he said, one evening, "decidedly
a board does not become Gaston. I pray you
tell him to shave it olfagnin."
For ull answer to this request, Gaston wont
up stairs, packed np his trunks and' started
that night for Paris. Tbo father and son
never met again.
Returned to Paris, Gaston plunged with
even fiercer pnssion and more reckless license
iulo the dissipations and vices of his class ;
realizing in himself oil the imid extravagntice
which Leon, Cozlan, llulzac, Kock and others
havo described as belonging to tho "lion" of
the nineteenth century. Of course, his for
tune was soon dissipated, and he had to take
to various unpoeticul means of earning a
simple subsistence. At last, wearied with
his position, and having in him a fur nobler
character nnd larger nalnre than the lire of
tho Boulevards could sutisfy. he resolved on
going to Algeria, them to settle and colouize
on a grand scale. O.iston de Kaousset could
do nothing iu niinattire. II is father died
ad.iHt this time, and the addiliuuul portion
which came into his hands helped him on
wonderfully ia Algeria.' - .
His lifu was by no means' dull or uninter
esting there. He mada himself renowned as
one of tho most dating sportsmen of tho
colony ; he performed many brilliant actions
as a military volunteer, aud ho kept a kind
of open honso for all who cared to accept his
almost regal hospitality, lie uUo wrote a
political pamphlet, which attracted conside
rable! notice und procured him tha favor of
the Due d'Atunule. All was gniug on merri
ly when the revolution of 1 813 broke out;
ar.d Gaston da Uaoussel, like many others,
was crushed nnd ruined by the blow. Hut
Gaston was none the less a republican because
the republic had destroyed his fortunes, lie
was not one towiunt with the hounds Tor the
moment of their success, unless ho catild
joiti heartily in the game; and his speeches
to the electors of the Houehes ues Kboue
and or Vaucluse, his urticles io the journal
which he edited more than a year, his whole
couduct and language bound him publicly to
the cause of liberty, though he made but
littlo personul gain out of his advocucy For
hn failed at the general elections, und he
failed at the election for tho Legislative
Assembly. Disgusted at his non-success, be
quitted Paris and France fur the golden laud
of California.
He sailed from Southampton on the 17th
of May, iu the Avon, going as a steerage
passenger among sailors and servants. Jl
was a hurd trial lor his pride, ulso for onn of
his luxurious habits; but tho other French
gentlemen on board soon found out hia real
value, and, steerngo passenger as he was, he
associated with tho cabin passengers us their
equal, which assuredly he was, und somewhat
their superior. At San Francisco he turned
fUl.cr.iian uud flsh salesman ; then he was a
lighterman, working hard from morning to
night iu lading and unludkig ships: and lastly,
he wei t off to Los Angelos and San Diego to
buy cows, fur the purpose of reselling them
at an enormous profit at San Francisco, lie
made the journey muny times ; once striking
off on a solitary voyage of discovery. Hut
his cow-selling ended disastrously, though it
gave him a clear knowledges of the country,
and enabled him to mature the great project
he bad conceived, the weakness of the
Mexican government and the hatred of the
people foi the Americaus gave him the idea
of forming at Sonorn "a valiant French bar
rier." which should both protect Mexico
against the L'uited Slates and form Ihe
nucleus of an Important French colony. Mr.
Diilon, the French mnsul at San Francisco,
was consulted on this project, lie entered
into it warmly ; gave M. de Haouaset letters
of introduction to leuding people, able to
help him, und our hero left for Mexico to lay
hia plans before the house of Jeker, Torre &
Co., bankers.
This was the project proposed. The mines
of A riznnn, which hud been abandoned for a
long while, owing to the terrible neighborhood
of the Apache Indians, were known as the
richest und most easily worked in all Sonora.
I he Mexican government wits to grant these
mines to Ilaoussct. and he wus to free them
from the Indians, develop their resources and
inal.n them the nucleus of r rench emigration.
In about two months tune the Kestaurodora
Company was formed, and u formal concession
of the land was made to it by Uen Arista,
president of the Mexican republic. Two
months uftor, ltousset signed a private treaty
with the directors ol the company, engaging
to laud at once at Guaymux. In Sonora. with
hundred and fifty armed men under military
organization, to explore uun tuku possession
of Arizona ana. her mines the society under

ammunition aud provisions to taiiaymas und
to Sane, half way between (iUayinas und
Arizona, ror hi share, Kaousset was to
hn.ve half of tho fund, .the. nines, and the
ulaees already "found uud to be found. M
Augilur, governor of Sonora, and M. Levas
sour, Fn n 'h minister at Mexico, were mem
ber of 0-e UasUuradora Society. r uniislied
with ' powerful letters of introduction and
protection, notably to General Jilunco, ntili-
tary chiif of Sonora, our hero and his little
baud disembarked nt Gtiaymns in June, 1 852.
Immediately on I.iiiuiuir. he. wrote to Gen
. ral IJlanco. who had been apprised before-
hand by M. Levasseur of the expedition.
The general feigned astonishment, ignorunce
and liesitutioii ; nnd commanded Hanussut to
wnit inactive tit Uuarmas until he had mude
op his ii'iod what he should da with him and
hia followers. The minister remonstrated ;
Tlaousset complained ; the general was firm.
For a rivul company had been formed ill
Mexico to dispute the possession cf Arizona
with the Hestaurudora Soriety, and Hlanco
and the landing men of (Juaymus belonged to
it. After a month spent in Inaction, luxury
uad rapid demoralization of the whole band,
Kaousset went alone to Uermosillo, where
his volunteers were to join him.- Hut his
troops fell into disputations and anarchy by
tha way i and llaotiaael had to gallop back
to near Unay.inas to rally,, rata and reform
them. At lleruwsillo he made ae example
of eome of the ringleaders, whom be diataiaaed
with ton li rupl, aud the little band fell quietly
under hia control, Qu the 16th of Aegost
they arrived at lbs Pueblo di Santa Anna,
en mule ia Baric, where food and stores
awaited them; aod there Kaousset received
a notice signed by Blauco.. aud ddreesed to
the department, which. "requirvd the French
to renounce their uatioualitT t or, in co o(
refusal, tbey were to be forced to re-euibarh.
M at Kaousset relused to obey tuts annum
or to accept the alternative r and be aod hit
men pushed on to Sarif, wbero the two dra
goons brought them the general's final and
irrevocable decision that they must either
become - Mexican soldiers without pay as
such they might clnim the mines or they
might be still Frenchmen, but then strangers,
and incapuble of possessing land, according
to the ancioiit law of Mexico; or they might
reduce their band to fifty men, under a ro.
Sponsible Mexican flifcf, in which case they
might march at once to Arizona and take
possession of the mines in the name and for
tho service of the llestuursdora Company.
Kaousset assembled his men, road them the
conditions of the general, nnd asked what
course they would takoT They unanimously
refused Dlanco's proposition, and determined
or. continuing the expedition uccording to the
terms of the agreement made with tho Ke
stauradora Company. The prefect of Altar,
under whose jurisdiction Sario was included,
next fuibede further march or future posses
sion to these armed French immigrants; and
Col. (Jimenez not only added insult to his
compatriot's breach or faith, but even wrote
privately to Lenoir, Ruonssel's senior lieu
tenant, to urge him to seize the command of
the troop, and deliver t hem over to Ihe Mex
ican authorities. Lenoir pave the letter to
Raotissot, who read it aloud to the band j and
they, for all answer, cried "To orms 1" with
more vigor than prudence. Kaousset re
strained them fur themomeut; but further
correspondence, with the Mexicans having
proved to him that nothing was to bo got by
patience or by parley, he declared war. On
the 2d of September he and his men quilted
Saric and murcbed-buck ou llermosillo, stop
ping fur a week at La Madeluine, then in all
tho gaycty and joyousness of her fete-time.
At La Madulaine was a young girl, fair as a
Saxon, tull, proud aud beautiful. Some one
at. her father's attacked the character of
Kaousset. She defended him, although her
lather, being one or tho principal authorities
of Sonora, was officially his enemy. An old
lady suid satirically :
"My dear Antonia, are you Bericusly in love
with this pirate chiefT'
"Yep," answered Antonia, rising and dra
ping herself iu her rebuzo, "1 do love this
pirate, as you call him. Yea, 1 love him 1"
The next evening Antonia, in the sight of
six thousand people, went to the pirate count's
camp and into the tent.
In eight days Ilermossillo was reached;
and in eu hour after tho preliminary parley
witu ovarn, the temporary prelect, the
French, with a severe loss of ollicers and men,
were masters of the town, and tho war was
fairly begun. As tho Northern Sonorians
hated the present government and favored
the French emigration, it seemed as if it
would be the sicnul for a cenerul revolt.
Perhaps it would have decided tho ouestion
had Kaousset been enabled to follow up the
advantage he had gniued ; but, unfortunately
for him, he fell sick immediately after the
battle, and, mure dead than alive, was carried
back to Guiiywas by his men, utterly demo
ralized by the want of their leader "and tho
loss or their officers. A nhort distance from
(iinymns a messenger from M. Calvo. a
1-renc h merchant, imivcd de Kaousset not to
advance further, but to see the General and
to patch up some kind of trenty which should
prevent further bloodshed. Kaousset was
marching on Guuymas. und would surely have
taken it, even in the present enfeebled stale
or Ins band, as it was totally undefended and
unprotected. Kaousset obeyed the sngges
tion ; but no good cume of it; and, in the
evening, his sickness increased, so that for
three Weeks lie wus insensible and hovering
between life nnd death. When he recovered
he found thut the company had treated with
Gen. Hlanco, and bad accepted forty thou
sand piastres for the evueuation of Sonora.
As soon as he was able Kaousset went to
San Francisco to organize another expedition;
and at this moment Walker, the filibuster,
offered him tho command of his troops in
Lower California, which offer he refused.
Arista now gave up the presidency of the
.Mexican republic, winch hantu Anna as
sumed. The Frenchman believed in Santa
Anna, and hoped as much as be believed.
But tho two men quarreled in their inter
views ; and do Kaousset in revenge eutered
into a plot against Santa Anns, which was
discovered; the plotter himself recelvinc
tiui. ly intimation of his betrayal, and so able
to escape the doom which else would have
overtaken him then. He returned to San
Francisco, still with Sonora, tho mines of
Arizona and Antonia in his head, und he
worked at his plan so well that in the middle
of May, eighteen hundred nnd fifty-four, he
sailed for Guuymas, prepared to take his own
course for weal or woe. 1 1 o began his journ
ey by gurroting the American captain, who
wished to delay tho start owing to the terri
ble weather ; und, on tho twenty-eighth of
June, he landed at Guuymas. Ills first
measures were abortive; but his presence
excited the French soldiers and emigrants in
tho towu to the last degree.

The Quaker's Corn Grftfv
A man had been in the habit of stealing
crro from his neighbor who wa a Quaker.
Kverv night be would go softly to the crib,
and fill his bag with the ears which tho good
old Quaker's toil hod placed there. livery
morning the old gentleman observed a diff"
Inution of his corn pile. This ws9 annoying
and must be stopped but how? Many an
one would have said, "Take a gun conceal
yourself, wait til he comes mid fire." Others
would bave said, "Catch the vi'.lian, and have
him sent to jail."
Hut the Quaker was not prepared to onter
into any such measures. Ho wanted to pun
ish tho oflender and at the sntr.o time brinf
about his reformation if popsihlo. So be fixed
a sort of trap close to the hole throogh which
tho man would thrust his arm in gottiog tho
corn.
The wicked neighbor proceeded on bis en.
holy errand at the hour of midnight wilh bag
io hand. Unsuspectingly he thrust bis hand
into tho crib to aeizo an ear, whon lo ho wos
nnable to withdraw it I In vain he tugged
and pulled, and sweated and alternately cried
sn l cursed. His band wan fast and every
effort to relenso it only mado it more secured.
After a time the tumult in his breast measur
ably subsided. He gave over his useless
struggles and began to look around him. All
was silenco aud rcpore. Good men Ivors
sleeping comfortably in their beds, while be
was compelled to keep a dreary disgraceful
watch throngh tho remainder of that long and
tedious night his hand in constant rain from
the pressure of the cramp which held it. His
tired limbs, compelled to sustain b!a weary
body, would fain have sunk beneath him, aud
Ida heavy eyes would have closed in slumber,
but no ! there was no rest, no sloep for him.
There he must stand, watch the progress of
the night and at once desire and dread the
tetnrn of the morning: Morning cam a at
last and the Quaker looked out of his window
aud found that he had caught the man."
What was to be done t Somo would say,
"Go out and give him a cowhiding just as hn
stands und then release him; that'll cure him."
Hut not so said the Quaker. Such a courso
would have s.-nt away the man embittered,
and muttering curse'i of revenge. The good
old man hurried on his clothes, and started at
once to the relief and punishment of his pri
soner. "Good morning, friood'said ho, as ho came
iu speaking distance, "llow does thoo do t"
"The poor culprit mado oo answer, but
burst into tears.
"Oh fie !" Baid the Quaker, as he proceeded
to release him.
"I'm sorry that thee has got thv hand fast.
Thee put it in the wrong place, cr it would not
have beeu so."
The man looked crest-fallen, and bogging
forgiveness, hastily turned to muko hia re
treat. "Stay," said his persecutor, for ho was now
becoming such to bo the offender, who could
have received a blow with a much better
grace than tho kiud words tbAt wcro falling
from the Quuker's lips. "Stay, fiiond thy
bag is not filled. Thee needs corn or tbeo
would nut have so much pains to get it.
Couie, let us fill it." And the poor fellow
was obliged to hold tbo bag while tho old man
filled it interspersing tho exercises with the
ploasaDtest couversatiou imaginable, ull of
which were like daggers in the heart of his
chagrined aud mortified victim.
The bag was filled and the string tied and
the sufferer hoped soon to bo out of the pres
ence of his tormentor, but again bis purpose
was thwarted.
"Stay," said the Quaker as tho man was
about to hurry off having offered ones mora
his apolgies and thanks. "Sluy, ltulu nus
breakfast ere this; thee must not think of
going without breukfust; come Ruth is
culling."
This was almost uoeuduraoie. mis was
"heaping coals" with a vengeance. In vain
the mortified neighbor begged to be excused.
In vuir. he pleaded to be released from what
would be to him a punishment ton times more
severe than stripes aud imprisonment. The
Quaker was inexorable and be was obliged to
yield Hreakfust over, "Now," said the old
Quaker, as ho helped the victim shoulder tho
bag, "If thee needs any more corn, coma in
tho day time und thee shall have it."
With what shame and remorse did that
guilty man turn from the dwelling of tha

thut he never again troubled the Quaker's
