Tho stories of Tom Jlnrshnll, tlio Con
gressional wit from IContucky, nro numerous,
nml some of them havo boon so often fold
that ho v.-mild bo a bold man who should
nltompt to letnil them for n iiowspaier. Tom
Marshall is dead, and all kind men who can
npprcoiato hU great heart nnd lnind bono
that Christ, who died for sinners, nnd who
will bo their judge, has found means to euro
and savo so worthy a creature of Hli hand.
IIow often has Marshall, faultless in to"
calm and perfectly sober, stood on tho plat
form before hushed nnd expectant audiences
of tlio baauty, f3hion and best manhood of
Kentucky, and with every ncrvo of his bo
ing braced Jbr tho PUpfcnlrt ciuirfi tils eye3
flashing and his form towering, told how ho
had been before a magistrate nnd sworn on
tlio holy ovnngclisU never to touch cr tast3

hiS hands lifled; ns in thanksgiving nnd
prayer, nnrarcntlv wi line to die mthcr than
go back to tho old dcgreddtiou of tho cup,
whilo his nliilicnco was thrilled as ho shout
ed out his joy at self-emancipation, nnd
thanked God now with strcaniinc eves
that ho was frco forever from n drunkard's
life: free, and frco forever, from tho horror
m a drunkard's death. It seemed to mo thrt
tho iioein of JT. 1'. Willis was written ex
pressly lor Marshall, tlio victor over seil, ns
i:c quoted it, mm acted it :
Then dash tho brimming cup nsido
And spill its purple wino;
Take not ils madness to thy lip,
Let not its curso bo thine.
'Ti s rich nnd rea, but i;rief and wod
Aro hid in its rosy depths below.
Or, attain, In sad emphasis:
Within the goblet's crystal docpS
A btingiug asnicnt unseen sleeps.
There's not a bubble on its brim
That does not curry food for him.
Or, in very rago and scorn :
I hate, abhor, detect tho smell
Of this dark bevcraco of hell.
Sometimes, for three months lliislccsta:y
and inspiration would last .and then the need
of artiliml simulation fur so ovcr-wrouijht
a condition would return, and "Tuni," "Old
Tom," "l'nor Tom," ns men called him,
voul(l bo drunk again.
Onro Henry Jl.iscombe. lib. D., tho aula
and eloquent Hishop of tho Methodist
Church, saw him leaning for supjiort against
tho outer walls of a Methodifct chapel nt
night, and said, in bitter jet, not knowing
mm: "i aupnofo you aten .vietnonist.iroin
your attachment lo tho building?"
" i jean mat way, liisuop," said Tom, in
lus best Uonsrcssiimul manner! luic) ' civo
mo your arm ami i ll seo you as lar rs my
door," and tho Bishop did.
Prof. Shannon, "unco President of tho
Kentucky University, and now of St. Louis,
oneo thought to reprove him as ho staggered
uj) tlio steps ol tho ilarrodburg Court House.
"Oil, dear I Mr. Marshall," ha becn,
"urunic again r
" Nover mind," eald Tom, "so am I," r.nd
ho went ill, and holding himself by a table,
made a sjioech that saved n mm "from tho
gallows. '

tour of tlio world. On the voyage from

and most of tho company was lost, but Kvn
and a few others were picket! up by an
American sailing vessel nun taken lo eiv
York. In that city the ItusKlau Consul
furnished her traniortation to Paris, where
she cxicctod lo fi nil employment. Put she
sought work in vain, nnd preferred, ralher
than live dishonorably, to givo herself into
tho charge of tho polico as a person without
visible means of supixirt. Now, vagrancy is
punished severely In Franco j lawastukcn

yard ts sha was about entering ino prison
van was struck with Kva's proud and noble

Blio says that she does not regret her course
in any manner, nud that sho would have
suffered long imprisonment rather than
havo anything but a projwr recognition from
society. Her sturdy independence had
made her quite a heroine. Whatn romance
might bo written concerning her life, nnd
how true it is that truth is stranger than
