WORTHY PATRONS:
BARE to the gay and gladsome sounds
Proclaiming joy throughout the earth;
But, strangely mingling, other tones
Would hush the merry voice of mirth.
As peals the midnight hour of twelve.
There comes a stranger at the door,
To take the place of one grown old,
Who now departs forevermore.
For hint that on the threshold stands
These joyous notes and peals aseend,
And say to every HMl:Ling ear.
"Come, gladly greet the new-born friend
While we the—NEw - YEAR hail with joy,
Brought to us on the wings of time,
There comes a sad and solemn sound,
The knell of the dying arm-km-a—
To see his pale and wasted form—
Twelve months since so hale and strong
To bear the winds his requiem sing,
As plaintively they sweep along—
Cheek many In their revelry.
That he. struck down by Winter's blast
Now, "with the years beyond the flood,"
Should be in the eternal past.
But while the olden year we mourn.
With favors and with pessingi fraught,
We'll cease to wish that he had lived,
and think about the good he brought.
Al! through the land, from East to West,
E'en from the day when ushered In.
Insplrlng hope and queuing fear.
Hls guardian angel, 'Peace, has been.
To make the Nation still more free,
To beat the wounds of civil strife,
To see our Country's flag unstained
In her career of new-born light,—
Our leaders brave and fearless stand
Determined on success of Hight,
Anil, battling Kith the foes of Truth,
Push onward in the glorious fight.
Withln ourywn great Commonwealth,
To urge fflient on, the people met,
And, by a warm and hearty rote,
The seal of their approval set
In solid phalanx Right moves on,
Not In the Keystone State alone;
The San, at dawn and winds he sets.
Has on Its waving barman shone.
, Who then shall say, that they, whale hones
Sow whiten many a Southern plain.
Or moulder in their kindred dust,
Hare sacrificed their lives In rain?
And thus the march goes bravely on,
Mil. Imo every mountain height,
Throughout the Continent, shall glow lot
The game of r - rettom's beacon-light.

And given more than wonted yield.
With plenty crowding house and barn
Brought from the richly-a4en'd field. A
While some, with quiet lilt content.
In unobtrusive tasks engage,
Bold hearts, absorbed in wander schemes
Kelp work the Wonders of the age.

PARIS.
TALZ OF TB* nisgir RA:VOLUTION
During the "Reign of Terror" in France
there were many deeds of daring performed.
even by women, and many examples of af
fection exhibited. The very streets of Paris
were deluged 'with' human blood, but near
the guillotine it ran in rushing torrents.—
One dark morning an unusual number of
the aristocracy had been marched forth, and
countless heads rolled from the block. A
gaping multitude stood by, and with shouts
rent. the air , as the aristocracy were thus
butchered. •
hi Among the assembled multitude, that
17
24 dreary morning, were two females. One of
them was plainly clad, while a cloak was
15 thrown around her, with. which abe kept
22 her features nearly concealed. But a close
• .1.
observation would betray the fact that the
woman had been weeping. Her eyes were
inflamed and red, and she zed eagerly up
-123 on the platform, while a ~.. wic of the gilt
t3 tering knife severed the from the body
-of some one who had en unfortunate
enougb. to NI under the 1i r. of two leaders.
The face of the woman ts.a very beautiful,
and she was young—cettainly not more
than sixteen or eighteen years of age.
The otherlemile was quite different in
character. Her face was fair, but there
was a brazen expression about it. fibe was
clad in rags, and as each head fell she would
dance, and in vat ions ways express her de
light, and then exclaim :
"There falls another aristocrat, who re
fused me charity when I humbly sued
him:"
Each expression of the kind would create
a laugh from those who heard her. But any
thoughtful person must wonder how one so
young could have been so depraved. The
first female watchedVtis creature for a few
momenta and then "sing her band to her
side she laid her hand upon the shoulder of
the wretch, and whispered
"Would you like to become rich at
once ?"
The female in rags turned about with a
look of surprise, t.uist into a loud laugh,
and then replied:
"OF course I would."
"Follow me, and you shall be."
"Enough: Lead on."
It was with considerable difficulty that
the females extricated themselves from the
crowd ; but they did so at length, and then
the that female asked of the other :
"What shall I call you
"Ohl I'm called the Beggar Girl Mails." ,
"You live by begging?"
"Yes; bat what's your name, and what
do you want ?"
"31y name u *A A the same as your
OWE."
"Are you an MU:mat r
"It does not Matter. lf you know where
we can find a room, lead me to it, and yon
shall have gold."
The pauper led the way low a narrow
filthy street, and then dowu into a cellar,
and Into a dark and filthy room. Tke otter
female could not but feel a sickening sensa
tion creep over her, but site recovered her
sell Atter contemplating for a time the
apartment, and what it contained, she ask
ed:
"Are you well knoWti in Pasts ?"
"Yes. Everybody knouts Maria, the Beg
gar Girl."
"Are you known to Robespierre ? If so,
I want to make a bargain with you."
"I am. What do you wish r
"You sec my clothing is better than your
own, and I wish to exchange with you. I
want you to consent to remain here, and
pot to show yourself's& all for a short time,
or until I come to you again. As recom
pense for aiding me I will give yto a thou
sand francs, and when I come back, I wil!
give you a thousand more. As security for
my return take this ring."
The lady drew a diamond ring from her
linger, and gave it to the beggar-girl. Then
handed her a purse containing gold. The
girl appeared s little puzzled, and asked :
"Well, what are you goingto do with my
dress ?"
wazt to put it 00, ALIO go 'ohm e I first
rLet you."
"Oh, I understand now. Yod want to
see the chopping go on, and you are afraid
you will be taken for an aristocrat if you
wear that chess. You want to represent
me?"
"Yes. I want to look as near like yon as
possible,
"Well, thatwon't be difficult. Your hair
and eyes, and even your mouth Ls like mine.
Your face la too white, though. But you
can alter that with a little dirt."
They exchanged dresses, and soon. the
young, rich, and noble Marie de Nantes was
clad In the rags of Maria, the Beggar. Girl
of Paris. The history of Marie de Nantes
was a sad one. Her father and two brothers
had-fallen vicdms to the remorseless fiends
of the Revolution, and a third and last bro
ther bad been seized. But of his fate she
was Ignorant, although she expected that It
would be similar to that of her other re
latives. He had been torn from her side
but a few hours before. After the exchange
had been made the looked on the
atockingless and shoeless feet and ankles of
the lady, and aid
"That will never do. Your feet are too
white and delicate. Let me arrange mat
ters."
In a few moments Mary was prepared and
in the filth and rags she merged into the
street. She now took her course back to
welds the guillotine, and at length reached
the square where the bloody work was etlil
going on. Gradnally she foreed her way
through the crowd, and nearer and nearer
she came to the scaffold. She even forced
a laugh at several remarks she shard
around her, but those. laughs sounded
strangely. She now stood within the plats
form, and swept It with her eyes, bat her
brother was not there. The cry was now
raised.
"Here comes another batch."
Her'heart fhittered violmitly and she felt
a faintness come over her u she heard the
tramper the (biome(' nieu4spproaching.—,
Her brother winged proudly and readmit
forward, and attended the very Will that
led t 6 the block. - 17p to this moment the
strength of poor Marie had failed her, and
she was unable' to put her resolve• into aft
°triton. But now a Itisterli love swelled up
in ha - heart, and *beret:covered her strength.

near her. -
"It is."
"Does Marie speak the truth ?" asked
Robespierre.
"She do. s," was the brother's reply.
"And you are not De Names ?"
"I tell you I am her brother."
"Why did you not tell us of this belore?"
"I ,attempted to speak, but wiursUenced.'
"Bet you might have declared yourself."
"You would'not haVt believed me !"
IButyour dress?''
"It belonged to au aristocrat. Perhaps
to him for whom I was taken."
Robespierre advanced close to young
Nantes, and pzed earnestly into his face,
then be .ruppro.tehed Marie, and looked
steadily in her eyes for a short time. 1 ,
was u moment of trial fdr the pra,r girl.
She trembled in spite of all her efforts to
be calm. Site almost felt that she was lost,
when the human fiend, who,e word was
law, turned and said :
"Release the ms.”."
The chains were instantly removed, and
Antonio de Nantes walked d:Jcvn from the
scaffold, followed by his sister, while
shout's rent the air, for they ',supposed he
was a commoner who had thus Is.e saved.
The young man worked his way through
the crowd as rapidly as possible, leading
Marie. They scarcely escaped it before the
poor girl fainted ft oat the int-nsity of feel
ings. The brother scarcely knew what to
do, bat a hand was laid upon his arm, and
a voice said :
"Bring her to my room agaiu. She will
be safe there."
The brother conveyed her to the upart
meat of th'd pauper, and asked of her :
"Have you seen the female before V'
"Yes! I know all about it," returned
the pauper. "She borrowed my Mahe. to
save her lover. She has done it, and lam
glad."
Before the noble sister returned to Con
sciousness the brother had learned all.
When they did so they both sought more
secure quarters, Mier rewarding the beggar
girl as promised.
"Po you think Robespierre was really
deceived V asked Marrie de Nan'es.
"I think not," returned the brother.
"Then why did he order your release ?"
"He saw your pl.n. He admired your
courage. Could a fien,l have done les

marching iriumpautly into the City of
Mexico, a prose-shut of monks em rged
Min the gate of a convent situ sted on the
eminence at the right, and advanced with
slow and mearanred tread until they met the
army at right angles. The guide or leader
of the procession Was a Veneta tie - priest,
whoes hair was whitened with the frosts
of many winters. He held in both hands
a cotailtution box, upon which these Was a
lighted candle, null when within a few teet
of the procession halted. As the army
proceeded many, a true believer dropped
some small coin or other into the good
priest's box. Ultimately there came elm, ;. ;
a tall,gsunt, limber-sided, gander-leg4ed
Yankee, who, on seeing the poor prie-t.
thrust his bands into his breeches' pockets
as if in search for a ditty., or something of
the kind. The observed this move

nun air of the most exquisite satisfaction.
Jonathan continued to unroll a pie. 33 of
twisted smoking tobacco. He next thrust
his band into another pocket, and drew
forth a clay pipe, which, with the iv most
deliberation, he proCeeded to fitl by pinch

thiswas done, having replaced his tobacco
to his breeches pocket, he stepped rut ward
and lighted his pipe by the orpta_tant

THERE is no country in Europe where
religion "of all kinds" is so carefully and
impartially cherished aratilainiaiued by the
State as it is in France. Tue population of

about $298,685 ; and 155,1194 Jews, whose,,.

Paris is $10,000; each of the other arch

"Our minister said in his sermon, last
evening," said Mrs. Beach, the wife of a
prosperous wholes de dry goods merchant,
on Market street, as she (listed her m .ntle
of procelain and marble on Monday morn
ing, "that he who wanted to do good must
he on the lookout for opportunities; that
God does not find our work, and bring It
ready fitted and prepared to our (rinds ; but
he spreads the world before us, and we are
to walk through it as Christ and the spas
ties did- with eyes open, looking for the
sick end suffering, the poor and oppressed,"
"Now, lons certain," continued the lady,
as she replaced a marl* Diana in the cen
ter of the trianjel, "I should like to do
some good every day—one feels So much
better when 'hey go to rest at night; arid
just keep my eyes . open to day and see
if I come across any opportunities that un
der ordinary circumstances I should let
blip."

up for lost time."
"Has he had the whooping cough? Poor

the lad)
`•Ile Wu: three List April, ma'am.'
"And Toin is four," mused the Indy : -

A RAILROAD TO BENDERSITILLE
This subject still agitates the minds of a
great many of the cltisens of this vicinity.
All seem to agree that a Railroad to this
point would be a great benefit to this part
of the county. Why would it not be ?
Bendersville is situated 111 one of the most
thriving parts of the county. The town
boasts of having two hotels, four. stores,
and all other establishments necessary to
make a lint class business place,
The - eithens, we believe, possess energy
end ambition enough Co advance all efforts
that look to the Improvement of every
branch of agriculture, horticulture and oth
er business. The soil of this part of the
I county, especially in the vicinity of Ben
deraville, is very good, yielding In abund
ance wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, potn
toes and every other kinch or grain), suitablu
to the climate. For Horticuldnal purpcsc::.
there is no better soil or climate in Penn

to this part of the county. Fartneits har
ing proclaim to sell, must ban) it twelve or
fifteen miles to nraiket, which Is very la
hot ions and expensive. Our nurseryme n
who have trees to• sell, -- anfi who wish to
ship trees a great distance, especially, ate
at great disadvantage.
Lime, too, is very inconvenient to this
vicinity, some farmers having to haul it
ten or fifteen miles. So with Stone Coal.
Iu fact, almost every thing else is incon
venient, that Is necessary to advtutce busi
ues. It is estimated that Mental= town
ship alone has prodheed last season twenty
thousand bushels of potatoes ; , •
The wheat orop, is better than ever be
fore known. Anti to get all this produc e
into market, wilt require a great deal of la
bor, because inconvenient.
This being the case, why not have a rail
road to Bendersville ? The route Is already
set veyed, and is said to be a very good
one. The amount required to build a road
ie not an enormous sum. We think, if our
titizens wtmld make a strong, untied and
detertninetleffort the road inightim had.—
A determineci'etiort on their part, Will in
terest others. Action is what is* required
in every undertaking to secure anoxia,—
That is what is required on ourpart, With
Railroad ourproperty priil bet much more
valuable, produce will command a fairer
price, and every thing will have an upward
took.
