HON G RISE AND MA11RY.
(4 Transpontine Romance.)
The un was netting in its wonted west,
"When Hongree, Hub-Lion toD ant of Chas
HoorcH, , . . . .
Met Mahry Daubigny, the Village Hone,
Under the Wizard's Oak old trynting place,
Of those who loved in rosy Aqnitaine. '.' "
They thonght themHelveH nnwatehed, but
they were not; .. ,.( , . - .
For Hongree, Sub-Lieutenant of Chassooren,
Found in Lieutenant-Colonel Jooles Dubosc
A rivel envious and unscrupulous, .
Who thonght it not foul scorn to dodge his
ntcps
And lixten, nnperceived, to all that passed
Itetween the simple little Villuge Hose
And Hongree, Sub-Lieutenant of ChasHOores.
A cl runny barraok-bnlly was Dubosc,
Quite unfamiliar with the well-bred tact
That animates a proper gentleman
In dealing with a girl of humble rank.
Toull nnderHtand his coarseness when I say,
He would have married Mary Daubigny,
And dragged the unsophisticated girl
Into the whirl of fashionable life,
For which her singularly rustic ways
Her breeding (moral but extremely rude),
- inonage (chaste but ungramniatical).
Would absolutely have unfitted her.
llow different to this unreflecting boor
Was Hongree, Sub-Lieutenant of Chassoores!
Contemporary with the incident
Ileluted in our opening paragraph,
Was that sad war 'twist Gallia and ourselves
That followed on the treaty signed at Troyes;
Ad so Lieutenant-Colonel Jooles Duboso '
(Brave soldier, he, with all his faults of style),'
And Hongree, Sub-Lieutenant of Chassoores,
Were sent by Charles of France against the
lines . .
Of our Siith Henry (fourteen twenty-nine),
To drive his legions out of Aqnitaine.
When nongree, Sub-Lieutenant of Chas-
Noores, ,
Returned suspecting nothing to his camp,
After his meeting with the Village Hose,' ,
We found inside bis barrack letter-box
A note from the commanding officer, '
Requiring his attendance at head-quarters.
Tie went, and found Lieutenant-Colonel
jfeoles:
"Young Hongres, Sub-Lieutenant of Chas
soores, . 1 ! '
This night we Hhall attack the English camp,
Be the 'forlorn hope' yours you'll lead it, sir,
And lead it, too, with credit, I've no doubt,"
(These last words with a cruelly obvious
sneer),
"As every man must prtalnly be killed
(For you are twenty 'gainst two thousand
men),
It is not likely that you will return,
But what of that ? you'll have the benefit
Of knowing that you die a Boldier's douth."
Obedience was young Hongree's strongest
point,
But he imagined that he only owed
Allegiance to his Mahry and his king.
"If Mahry bade me lead these fated men, .
I'd lead them but I do not think she would.
If Charles, my king, said 'Go, my son, and
I'd go, of jConrso niy duty would be clear.
But Mahry is in bed asleep, I hope,
And Charles, my king, three hundred leagues
from this: '., ) , ' .
As for Lieutenant-Colonel Jooles Dubosc,
Bow know I that our monarch would ap
prove The order he has given me to-night ?
My king I've sworn in all things to obey i
I'll only take my orders from my king !
Thu8Hoiyjree,.Sub-Lieutenant of Chassoores, .
Interpreted the terms of his commission.
And Hongree, who was wise as he was good,
Disguised himself, that night in ample cloak, .
Round flapping hat, and vizor mask of black,
And made, unnoticed, for the English camp.
He paused the unsuspecting sentinels
(Who little thought a man in this disguise
Could be a proper bbject of suspicion),
And ere the curfew bell had boomed "lights
out,"
He found in'audionce' Bedford's haughty
Duke.
"Your Grace," he said, "start not ie not
alarmed,
Although a Frenchman stands before your
eyes.
I'm Hongree, Sub-Lieutenant bf - Chassoores,
My colonel will attack your camp to-night,
And orders me to lead the hope forlorn. '
Now I am sure our excellent King Charles,
Would not approve of this but he's away '
A hundred leagues, and rather more than
that "
So, utterly devoted to my king, ,. . , f ., - ,
Blinded by my attachment to tho throne ,
And having but its interest at heart,
1 feel it is my duty to disclose '
All schemes that emanate , from Colonel
Jooles, ' ; , f ; , , ' '
If I believe that they are not the kind
Of Si.heiues that our good monarch could ap-
jfrove." ..
"But how," said Bedford's Duke, "do you
propose
That we should overthrow your Colonel's
scheme "
And Hongree, Sub-Lieutenant of (.'hasKixires,
Replied at onoa with aever-fttiljng tact
"Ob, sir, 1 know tliia cursed country well,
Entrust yourself and iill your host, to in",
I'll lead yon nf'ly by n xeeret. piii.h
Into the hp art ol Colonel Soolcs' arriiy,
And you can then attack tLeitn unprepared.
And sliiy my fellow-countrymen unarmed."
Tho thing was done. The Duke of Bedford
gave
The order, and two thousand fighting men t
Crept silently into the Gallic cairip, ; . ;
And slew the Frenchmen as they lay asleep,
And Bedford's haughty Duke slew Colonel
Joeles,
And married Mahry, pride'of Aqnitaine,
To Hongree, 8ub-Iiontenantof Ohasbores.
In Wane af Wife. .
Ka-besh-co-day-wav, an Indian chief, is
want of one more "wife, having now but three,
and oflf rs the following inducement through
the Chicago Tribune:''!!- 1 nat, in caso.
we should hear of any wortny wnne iaay who
might be at all disposed to consider the pro
priety of. becoming one of his bettor halves,
we might say to her that he has a good, large,
warm house, built for him by his Great
Father; that he has always been kind to, and
has never yet struck any of, has present wivos;
that he would treat a white wife very kindly
and considerately; that he' would divide with
her his property; and that he and his other
wives would give her tho very best of every
thing that could be had to eat, and that they
would do everything in their power to make
her contented and happy in her new home.
In reply to another question of ours as to
whether he considered that his stock of love
was large enough to distribute to a good
advantage among so many wives, ho simply
said, 'Ka-besh-co-day-way's heart is big.' " .

A poetically disposed country newspaper
remarked that "it is comforting to know that

Comin' VKflfrfro Inooimk. A San Francisco
paper states that "in Virginia City, Nevada,
pretty waiter-girls are taxed." The pretty
waiters taxed for their pleasing trait might
suggest a very popular tax to Mr. Boutwell.
Taking all females who are be-coming-ly
attired as waiters, he , might by introducing
the tax in this country induce all who had
pretensions to good looks to insist on being
taxed it would be a voluntary female poll
(or should we say "chignon ?'') tax.
A Ccaiors Fact. Truth is stranger than
fiction. A Jersey farmer, astonished at the
backwardness of his potato crop, had the
ground examined by a most experienced
judge. It was discovered that the potatoes
were short-sighted and couldn't see their way
through the soil. After dressing the ground
with a liberal supply of spectacles, our friend
was rewarded by seeing the tubers growing
like winking.
Shocking Inhumanity. The other evening
a gentleman, while crossing the Schuylkill at

Although the bridge was crowded at the time

human shape, no notice was taken of the
occurrence. The two sufferers proceeded
together to the nearest tavern and liquored
