IiENAN'S LAST ESSAY.
Defease of the Wife of Htreni Anrellne.
PArib, Bppt. 10. Tbe annual meeting of the
Institute, comprising the reunion ot its five
Academies, linn JtiHt taken rce. Before the
Academy of Letters M. Itetiuu read a charm
Itig Utile essay upon the wife of Mnrcns Aure
Hue. Tills sketch would be delightful reading,
If only on account of the style atonce trauspa
tentand plcluerenque In which It Is written,
nut a certain oddity attaches to the subject,
and to the effort of the wi lier to remove the
only stain from the character of Aurellus by
tbe rehabilitation of Ibalof Faustina.
Kenan, by a happy t llortof nnnglnallon, en
deavoisto divine the reason for the dlafavor
With whioh the charming empress was regarded
by the friends of her liUHlaud. "HelreKs to all
the lolcy prejudices that an incomparable no
bility of blood bestowod upon the women of
the old Human arlslooraoy." he says, "Faustina
could not but have been o He tided by the austere
mleu and almost monachal dress of the phi
losophers who surrounded Aurellus. Hhe
doubtUss t rented them with niuen, of that
unjust disdain which women never know how
to control when tliflr sentiments of elegance
and distinction are Irritated," He eontlnues:
"Marcus Aurellus was the most benevo eut
and democratic or sovereigns, who, inspired
with an lDtense autlpAtby lor riches and the
patricians by the excesses of the old aristo
cracy, systematically ignored birth In making
ofllolal appointments, and placed Id trust only
those opou whom he relied for their personal
character. Hassrons, whom he chose lor chief
prefect, was a real rusllo, badly brought up,
and little intelligent. I'ompelunns, to whom
be married his daughter Lucilla, the widow of
VeniH, was a man without birth or attractions,
and also rather elderly. He imagined that the
woiiitn of his household, like blm, had no
thought except for the good of the common
wealth, and that beoauoi Pompelanus was the
mom honest mau in the empire, he ought to
please l'auttlna and I.ucllla. On the contrary,
Uiey revolted, and made poor Pompelanus
eufler well for his audacity in entering their
lamily, by all sorts of feminine affronts.
"ISenutlftil, elegant, arlst.ocraiic, and a little
frivolous, Faustina was thus a stranger In her
busbunn's world. Ills friends, on the other
band, would cattily get out of humor with her,
and Judpe her mere follies and gayetles wlthun
lieoessnry severity. Without, therefore, being
worse than her contemporaries, Fauslinacould
bardly fail to be more roughly criticized. It was
possible, moreover, that she was often rather
bored with ber perfect husband; that his
beautiful discourses, bis perpetual melan
choly, bis calmness, bis resignation, nig
aversion for everything that resembled
a court, may have seemed austere and distaste
ful to a woman young, capricious, of an ardent
temperament, and endowed with a marvellous
beauty; she was tired of so much wisdom, and
often preferred fetes and diversions whioh her
husband disliked, and where she was impru
dent enough to appear alone, and enjoy herself
With too much abandon and gayety. But, after
all, she fulUiled the first duty of a wife, she
made ber husband happy, and he thanked the
gods who had given him such a spouse."
Does it seem as If this picture referred to a
household that existed seventeen hundred
years ego?
How to Become a Millionaire.
John McDonough, the millionaire of New
Orleans, has engraved upon his tomb a scries of
maxims he had prescribed as the rule for his
guidance through life, and to which his success
in business Is mainly attributed. They contain
so much wisdom that we copy them:
Rums fob Guidance of My Life, 1804. Be
member always that labor is ooe of the condi
tions of our existence. Time is gold; throw
not one minute away, but place each one to
account. Io unto all men as you would be
done by. Never put off till to-morrow what you
can do to-day. Never bid another do what you
can do yourself. Never covet what is not your
own. Never think any matter so trifling as not
to deserve notice. Never give out that which
does not first come in. Never spend but to
produce. Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life. Study in your course
of life to do the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary to your
comfort, but live in au honorable simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment of your exist
ence. Pursue strictly the above rules, and the
Divine blessing and riches of every kind will
flow upon you to your heart's content; but first
of all, remember that the chief and great duty
of your life should be to tend, by all means in
your power, to the honor and glory ot our
Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have arrived is,
that without temperance there is no health;
without virtue no order; without religion no
happiness; and that the aim of our being is to
live wisely, soberly, and righteously.
John McDonough.
New Oilcans, March 9, 1804.
The Oldest Locomotive. The oldebt locomo
