DEATH OP MIRABEAU. B? REV. i. V. TUTTLE, How rapid, how how complete (ho as cendency df this nun ! Three years ago and oapri cions fortune hod no such plaything as Mirabeau His father and king did what they could to ombiller his life. His country had no dwelling place for him except in her dungeons, and in foreign lands ho was not safe. Ilia great heart had its affections all em bittered into sublimated gall. Unwillingly, the demon of French tyranny had been educating, by the must fiery discipline, tho mightiest as welt as the wickedest mind in France, to grapple in a death struggle with & hoary oppression. Franco trembles as with the throes of dissolution, and lo! suddenly as a rocket exploding in the dark* ness, Mirabeau biases out on the vision of mankind. The tenant of dungeons becomes the idol of all op! pressed men, and the fool bail of fortune becomes (hO'evil genius of kings and oil oppressors. In a few brief days, not only a king of venerable ancestry trembles before him, but (he stormy spirits of blood and disunion, BrissoU Moral, Robespierre and Dan* ton fear him us their master. Ho binds men abd things to his will. One shake ol his 'boar's head'— os he himself called it—cowee the Jacobins, and one sharp word subdues the heroes of the Gironde.— Scarce two years passed and (ho end’ drawa on. Those years was crowded with successes of personal iniquity as would hardly be credible in (he long life of a common man. And yet, Iron man as fie Was, oven ho could nol endure such sn enormous draft on (ho power oflife. 'The excesses of our youth are drafts un our old age, payable , with interest, about thirty years after date.* The corruption of Mira, beau was too enormous loi admit of so long an extent slon of the debt lo nature. On tho Qs:h of-March, 1791, Miraboau went, to the convention fur tho last lime. The powers of nature were olmostcxhauslcd. Ho would strip the leeches from his neck, am) (hen, swathed with bloody (owels, be carried to iho scones of bis trtbunilial triumphs. On this occasion, as usual, he was attend* cd by an immense rabble, who doted on him as (heir idol and defender. In the midst of Ids progress ho fainted and os his palo remains were then carried to a friend's house, a wild shriek went up, "he is dead, ho is doad, the friend of tho people Is dead !’ In a short time he was restored, and undaunted* proceeds to tho holt to speak for tho last time. His broad face was haggard and the marks of tho small pox scorned - more hideous than over. His long hair hur.g in mosses on his shoulders, and Its frightful* ooBS was set off by (tie bloody bandages about his neck. Tho oyo alone proves his spirit unbroken. Tho Jacobins clamurud, and now perceiving Iho weakness oflho only min they feared, attempted to carry some point peculiarly displeasing to him.— Tho powers in him were stirred, and nerved by menial energy alone, he compelled his jaded body to carry him to Iho tribune. Ho had no strength to waste on preliminaries, and hurled a thunderbolt among his enomi< s, which annihilated their position. They ollcmplod to cry him down, but ono shout, "Silence there, ye thirty tyrants!** stilled them.— Some inferior men attempted to overcome his fee bleness by various noises, but his Inflamed eye bias ing on them, and his 'terrible head shaken at them,* subdued thorn. In (ho face of the President’s deels. ion he spoke, and wrung concession oven from his enemies. It was an eventful morning. Five times ho spoke, or rather thundered, and as often triumphed. Never had ho scorned so grand, never had he been so lm* poriout, and never had ho proved himself more per fectly lo the greatest mind in France. But oven that scene of triamph was only a part of his dying agonies. To alt human endo/aneb there is a limit, am) now Mirabead was carried fainting and dying to his own house. The dcmagi>gucs : of the Convention had crouched before the lion for the last time. Paris had never foil sn event like (his. "The great Mir (bond is dying I" rang from lip to lip.— Business ond amusement were suspended. The pop. utaoe allowed no car/iagb (o rumble over the atone pavements, lesi it would dislurb him. Those moo wore in tears and spoke In whispers. 'Who will defend us now that Mirabeau is dying 7* was tho agonized, question of one. 'Who will give da bread ribw 7' asked another, ful Ij believing this man to bo tho dispenser of food. 'Who will cut off the hoods of those aristocrats, who are sucking out the blood of Franco?* naked another blenched tooth, as ho remembered MU raboau*a apostrophe's; which had shaken the privileg ed classes os bn earthquake. It was a wonderful spectacle. The streets wore crowded with anxious multitudes, silently and tearfully awaiting the issu ing builviiP” announcing the progress of the death struggle. ... mi But look I Yonder Is a s(rango sight i fhoKine of Franco line sent a special messenger, of nohlo birth, to inquire after lhe*health of Miraboau. Tho crowd gave way* and for once fell grateful to Louis far feeling so much fur their.favorite. Tho niotsen' gera of tho convention stood with doe from tho King at the door of death. Prostitutes and tho lowest of tho Parisian mdb. mingled with- tho high born and tho grout before the house in which Miraboau was dying. Scarcely could a greater tribute have been levied on the affections of that populous oily. • < »Tho over wearied giant fallen down to die,* was aa great In death as tho Atheist libnrline could be. Look at this man, the victim corroded to dissolution by his own execrable vices, and from that scene let (hose words of Ida take (heir emphasis. It was the last time Dumont bbw him, and ho'flung hla arms around tho nook of his friend, and exclaimed In an agony of weeping s - >' ‘ *1 would puss through a furnace heated seven times, to purify the name of Miraboau!

PRETTY THOUGHTS. „ What id crime!

A, butterfly that roves from flower to flower io.the vast garden of exlst ence, and which is eagerly pursued by the vain multitude in hops,of obtaining the prize; yet it constantly eludes.lheir grasp. 'VHaI Is'fashion!- A beautiful envelope for mortality, presenting a glittering and polished ex terior, .(he appearance or which”gives no certain indication of the real value of what is contained therein.. What Is wit! A sparkling beverage that is highly exhilarating and agreeable when partaken qt the expense pf others; but when used at our own cost, it becomes bitter and unpleasant. What is knowledge t A bey that unravels all mysteries, which Unlocks the entrance and dis covers new, unseen and untrodden paths In the hitherto unexplored field of science and .literature. What is fear! A frightful substance to the feally gnllty, but a vane and harmless shadow to the conscientious, honest and upright. What is joy ! The honey of existence; really beneficial and agreeable when partaken of In mod eration, but highly injurious when used to excess.

Upon endeavoring to raise the unfortunate ni’in it wae found that the thigh bone of his right leg had protruded through Uiu flesh, and entirely through a board an inch and a Imlfin thickness.
