that gentleness might conquer. The in

satisfied that we win more victories in
life by what we forbear to do, than by what

"Still I say that I think you would

Talleyrand and Arnold.
There was a day when Talloy rand arrived
in Havre on foot Irom Paris. It was the
darkest hour of tho Revolution. Pursued
by the bloodhounds of the Keign of Terror,
stripped of every wreck of propeity, Tal
leyrand secured a pnssngo to America in a
ship about to sail. He wis n beggar and
a wanderer to a strange land, to earn his
daily bread by labor.
" Is there nny American stopping at
your house T" ho asked the landlord of the
hotel. " I nm about to cross the water,
and would like a letter to a person of in
tluence in America.
Tho landlord hesitated a moment, nnd
then replied;
"There is a gentleman np stairs, but
whether he came from America or Eng
land, is more than I can tell."
He pointed the way, and Talleyrand
who in his life was bishop, prince, and
minister ascended the stairs ; a miserable
suppliant stood before the stranger's door,
knocked, and was admitted.
In a far corner of a dimly lighted room,
sat a man of some fifty years, hia arms
folded, and his head bowed upon hit
breast. From a window directly opposite,
a flood of light poured upon his forehead.
His eyet looked from beneath the down
cast brows, and upon Talloyran I's face,
with a peculiar and searching expression.
His race was striking in outline, the mouth
and chin indicative of an iron will. His
lorm, vigorous even with the snows of
fifty, was clad in a dark but rich and dis
tinguished costume.
Taljeyrand advanced stated that he was
a fugitive, and the impression thai tbe
gentleman before him was an American,
he solicited his kind feelings and odices.
He poured forth his history in eloquent
French and broken English.
" I am a wanderer and an exile. 1 am
forced to fly to tho. new world, without
friend or shelter. You nre an American ?
Give me, then, I beseech you, a letter of
yours, so that 1 may be able to earn my
bread. I nm willing to toil in any man
ner ; a life of labor would be a paradise lo
a career of luxury in France. Yon will
give me a letter to your friends ? A gen
tleman like you doubtless has many
friends."
The strange gentleman arose. With
a look that Talleyrand never forgo, he
retreated towards the door of the next
chamber, his eyes still looking from be
neath his darkened brow :
"I am the only rmn in tho New World
who can raise his hands to God nnd say .
I have not a friend not one in all
America."
Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelm
ing sadness of look which accompanied
these words.
" Who are you V he ctied, as the strange
man retreated to the next room; "your
name?"
"My name," ho replied, with a smile
that had more of mockery than joy in the
convulsive expression, " my name is Ben
edict Arnold !"
He was gone. Talleyrand sank into
the chair, grasping tho words;
"Arnold, the traitor !"
Thu. he wandered over the earth, an
other Cain, with the wanderer's mask
upon his brow.
Yoixo America Wonders. Wonder
why mamma keeps Bridget at home from
church to work all d:y, and says it it
wicked for me lo build my rabbit house
on Sunday? Wonder why our minister
bought that pretty cane with tho lion's
head on tho top, and then asked me for
my cent to put in the missionary box?
Don't I want a jewsharp as much as ho
wants a enne? Wonder what makes pa
tell such nice stories to visitors about his
hiding the master's rattan when he went
to school, and about his running away
from tho school-mistress when bhe was
going to whip him, and then shuts me up
all day in a dark room because I tried, just
once, to be as smart as he was ? Wonder
why mamma tells pa he is cross when he
comes home at night nnd says his tea is
weak, nnd ties a' handkerchief over my
mouth so that 1 can neither speak nor
breathe, because I happen to say she is
cross? Wonder what made pa say that
wicked w ord when Bessy upset the ink all
over his papers, nnd then slapped my
ears when I said the same thing when my
kite fctring broke? Oh, dear! there nre
lots of things that I want to know I How

Goethe's Love or Art and Hatred or
Marriace. It wis Goethe's theory that,
for the glory of German literature and his
own, he ought to hold himself free tVom
the restraints nnd encumbrance's of mar
riage; but that for the same all-sufliciont
reason he was privileged to win hearts
and cast them away, for the take of the
knowledge he might acquire in the pro
cess. We confess that, with all our
admiration for his genius, we nre
not much moved to pity by the just
retribution that befel this cold blooded
coxcomb, when in middle life he became
linked for years to no more congenial a
companion than a female sot. If Goethe
had married Frederika Brion, the pastor's
daughter, of Scsheim, the story of whose
abused affections is one of the most pain
ful episodes in his career, he would proba
bly have been no worse a poet, and would
certainly have leen moie worthy of honor
as a man. This, however, is by no means
the opinion of his Gorman idolators. one
of whom declares it to be evervthing but
eviaent to mm "mat mnaeiity to lilt
genious would nut have been a greater
crime in Goethe than infidelity to hit
mistress."

An AraicA R.ica Free or Disease. An
African traveler says i
"The Dokos multiply very rnpialy, but
have no regular marringes, tho intercourse
of the soxos leading to no settled home,
each in perfect independence going whith
er fancy leads. The mother nurses her
child only for a short time, accustoming
it as soon as possible to the eating of ser
pents and ants; and as soon ns the child
can help itself, the mother lets it depart
whither it pleases. Although these peo
ple live in thick woods, and conceal them
selves among the trees, yet they become
the prey of the slave-hunter of Suva,
Kafla, Dumbora, and Kulla; for wholo
regions of their woods aro encircled by the
hunters, so that the Dokos cannot easily
escape. When the slave-hunters come in
sight of the poor creatures they hold up
clothes of bright colors, singing and dan
cing, upon which the Dokos allow theiui
selves to be captured without resistance,
knowing from experience that resistance
is fruitlesg, and can only load to their de
struction. In thij way thousands can be
captured by a small band of hunters ; and
once captured, they become docile. In
slavery, tho Dokos retain their predilec
tion for eating mice, serpents, and ants,
although often on that account punished
by their masters, who, in other respects,
are attached to them, as they are obedi
ent and docile, having few wants, and
enJy 8d health, for which reason they
nre never sold as slaves beyond Enarea.
As diseases are unknown among them,
they die only of old age, or through the
assaults of their enemies.
R.iiLWAy across the Andes. Our Amer
ican engineers scale the highest range of
mountains with the locomotive. Mr.
William Wheelwright, an American, who
has been engaeed for a long time in buil
ding railroad in South America, has ex
plored the route, and reports that a rail
way can be built across the Andes, thus
making line from the Pacific to Rosario
via Codova, a distance of 1,100 miles. It
is claimed thai, the advantages which
would accrue by opening up the South
American States to commerce, the Kio de
la Pluta being navigable for vessels draw
ing twelve feet of water, would be im

Ef!.In answer to a query from a corres
pondent, the Chicago Journal sayt that
'Artemus Ward, 'whose humorous writings
are known in the daily papers, is Mr.
Brow ii, local editor of the Cleveland Plain
Heal ft. 'Artemus Ward, tho Showman,' ia
a name assumed by him, though thero is
really a man by that name, and a regular
genius in the show business, who exhibit
wax fixtures 'and sech' and makes a great
deal of fun down in Indiana. Mr. Brown
is a young man of fine abilities as a writer,
lie was brought up to the business, being
a jour printer 'by trade,' and an editor by
education. He don't look like n funny
man at all, being 'on the contrary, quite
the reverse ;' but that he is a funny mats
none will doubt who have read his queer
"Artemus Ward" letters.

jfcaySome women are excessively fMl
of teasing those whom they love. It ia
generally the very impassioned in tem
nernment, or the very cold, who do so.
The latter, where love is camparatively
languid may do it almost constantly; the
former just in the intervals where the
pulse of love rather intermits ; and in this
case it seems only to bo a part or form of
the general craving for excitement of tome
kind or other.
