ELEANOR IN THE EMPTY HOUSE:
A BALLAD OMITTED FBOM PERCY'S "RELIQUBB. 11
by t. w. parsons.
Sad Eleanor sits in the lonely hall;
Silent as ever, sheslts and sews, ; ■ *
Llko a nun, for penance,’at work on nor pail,
Thinking ike while on hersins and woes;
She sighs, bnt sings not; fbr all are gone—
Ellen and Frances, Austin and John—
And silently her hand works on.
Musing on many things—God above,
And life and death, and the burning lake,
And hcr work—and everything bnt love,
For nothing her frozen heart can wake—
- She stabs with her needle, but never sings;
‘ For oft in her ears a Bhrill bell rings,
And she starts, as she heard an angel’s wings.
At nine o’ the clock comes the Abbot in,
And whispers, “Eleanor, what hast thou there?”
“All day,” she answers, “at work I have Been
On a winding-sheet which I mean to wear,
And now 1 am busy, hemming my pall;
For I heard, last night, the Death-Angel call,
And the grass will Boon grow over us all. ”
At ten, Brother William came from his room,
Saying, ‘Sister Eleanor, got thee to bod! ”
And he Walked up and down, with a face of
gloom,
More heavy of heart than ho was in his tread;
: For meagre ho was, and worn his looks,
With banting for sense in difficult nooks,
And words in hid corners of Latin books.
Still, patient Eleanor never stirred,
Bnt stitched away at the snow-white cloth,
-And answered the Brothor never a word;
Whereat the sullen friar wsb wroth,
And glided away, with his visage wan,
Silent and sober; for ail were gone !
' Brother Austin, and Brother John.
Be met the cat in the corridor,
Ahd'tho lean thlng rubbed against his leg;
Bo he lifted the creature from the floor,
Saying, “Poor puss, thou needs’t not beg;
There’s nothing—normllk, nor fowl? nor flesh,
Not a smelt from the hook, nor a quail from
the mesh—
Nothing for. thee, Tom; salt or fresh !”
■ “Not even a puny mouse in the wall,
Nor a cup .of. cream on an upper shelf;
For these roofs are abandoned by mice and all,
And l am friendless as thyself;
The chambers are empty—the larder too—
The grinders have ceased, they’ve grown so few,
And there’s no one to pray for bat mo and you!”
Such is the way most houses are
In.the summer-time which poets praise;
Give me the glow behind the bar
Of a sca-coal fire; or the hickory’s blaze ;
And plenty of people up stairs and down,
With smiling faces, and never a trown
Because there is nobody left in the town.
From the Atlantic Monthly fur May.

EARL DOUGLAS OF PHILADELPHIA.
There are persons still living who will re
collect the following anecdotes; although I
have judged that propriety demanded a change
in the names of men and public bodies.
The opinions of John Stacy were the
growth of civil war, religious dissension and
'persecution. Born amid the rural beauty of
Sleadowshire, in Great Britain, and educated
in the ancient and commercial city of Slave
oporium, descended from a family which has
appeared in history, he was not without en
ergy of character. Great, wasting and debt
producing wars for petty objects, cruel and
murderous persecutions for religious opinions,
and bloody contests to settle “which tyrant
England should receive,” were not to John's
taste. Tired of the restless and unprincipled
activity which surrounded him, he obtained,
at an early moment of life, a commercial in
troduction to ajWest Indian colony. In a hew
world he hoped for a sphere of U3efalness and
a life of tranquil industry. These, however,
■were there denied him. Entertaining serious
religious convictions, and finding that re
monstrances made no imjVession on the
intemperance and lo^ se habits of life among
which to foUhd himself, he became
unpopular in Barbadoes, and dually
took refuge in Philadelphia, and in
a connection which, for the purposes of the
present narrative, I propose to designate as
that of the celebrated Littleendiane.
With ail Stacy’s religions convictions, the
feeliDg of intolerance or a desire to press or
enforce his own belief on oth«*s had no place
in his mind. Unless by a good example, and
by suitable remonstrance when proper occa
sion ope'ea atnU the transactions of life, he
Uever Undertook to teach. The most fun
damental of fcia dootines was that a man’s
own conscience was the true guide to recti
tude and should be obeyed and studied as
such; and after the discharge of positive du
ties he busied himßelf exclusively with the
promotion of justice, order, punctuality and
Christian charity, both as regards the poor,
and aB exhibited in amiable deportment and
benevolent conduct in life. He set, both
from tradition and conviction, the highest es
timate upon the 'character of a merchant.
ÜBder such circumstances it is not surprising
that, in the young city of Philadelphia, he had
extensive occupation in reconciling, arbitra
ting and settling differences among his liti
giouß neighbors. „ r . , ~
Such a man, when he left the West Indieß,
brought with him an old negro slave, one of
those originally obtained trom Africa, and
who possessed the jet-black complexion so
very different from most of those seen in the
United States. This domestic had, however,
been long on this Bide of the ocean, and for
a considerable time in Stacy’s service. He
rejoiced in the name of Douglas; to which, on
certain state occasions, borrowing from the
conversation of his white neighbors, he pre
fixed the title of Earl. His lordship waß com
fortably provided for, dressed respectably,and
employed as a domestic Bervant. “Doug's
room” became the well-established title oi a
locality in the house; and, from its situation,
perhaps in a degree exposed tothieves.it gave
him a feeling ot something not unlike respon
sibility in the protection of the establishment.
With a relative, brought up by Mr. Stacy
from a young child, most ofthe ensuing con
versations took place. I will call him Tnomas
Jacques.
Enter Jacqueß, a young school-boy, from
a walk.
“Ah! Tom !" cries Douglas, “you ought
‘ to be very good to old Doug. He save you
bacon many a time.”
“Wny, what’s the matter, Doug. ? What
have you been doing for me?'
“Ah! neber yon min. Old Doug, save
you bacon many a time.” Douglas was
diplomatic, and no further information would
he vouchsafe.
Years afterward, Thomas Jacques, now a
grown man and engaged in business, meets a
respectable acquaintance, a professor ot re
ligion, a man or plain appearance and unpre
tending manners, but thought well of in the
community; and from him, much to their
amusement, hears the particul are of the
above. The narrator had entered at Stacy s
yard gate; a familiarity to which Stacy, he
knew, would not object in his case. .
“Is John Stacy in ?” he demands.
“No, frien’,” replies the sagacious Douglas.
“Pray, frien” what's you busin’? What do
you want to eee John Stacy for, frien'? ’
“Why, I want to speak a few words with
him."
“Well, what’s you busin', frien’? Wiial
; you want to say to him, frien’?’’
' “Why,” pausing, “I don't know. I don't
- think’l shall want to call here again about it.
• Tdph'tJ.kppw whether 1 mightn’t as well tell

mons,* near the Hospital, last Sunday, .after
noon, whenthey should have been at meet
tag; and I thought I.would tell him.
“What dat you say, frien’? Lemme un
der’tan’. You say you see. bur Tom Jack an
our Bob Jaofe a-walkin’ out on de commons
near de Hospital on Sunday afternoon, when
dey ought to ha’ been at meetin’. Dat what
you ray?”
“Yes,” Bays the other: "you have got it
right.”
“Well —no offence, frien’ —jiat let me ax
you one little question. May I?”
‘■Yes,” says the other.
“Well, frien’, where was you dat time
you see our Tom Jack and our Bob
Jack a walking out near de .Hospital when
dey should ha’ been at meetin’ ?” A dead
pause. , . ~
“Well, frien’,” says Douglas, taking him
obligingly by the arm, “lemme give you my
advice, frien’. Jis’ you go home quietly,
frien’, while you got whole bone. For 1 tell
you what —our Tom is a of a fellow
(naming a hot climate), “an’ if he ketch you
here, he break every bone in your body. So,
jis’ you go home now, quiet, and say noting.
With that the. visitor left the affair. .
At another time, some troops of his Ma
jesty King George the Third passed by the
bouse, magnificent with fife and drum, and
with all the other pride, pomp and circum
stance deemed fit for the occasion,
whatever that may have been. As
soon as Doug, finds himself apart
with the young people; “Nyah! you make
great fuss wid you King George .an yer
sojers. I tell you what-you ought to see de
king of Guinea! Him somethin like! Hun
set on him trone, an’ wear him crown of
goold: an’ all his clo’es made of goold; you
couldn’t look at ’iiß, be so full o plendor.
An* den you make your sojer go long de
street, an’ strut an’ make sich a brag, an beat
deir drum, what go te-e-enk a*te*e*enk. Ah,
vou ought to see de king of Guinea s sojers.
Dey look so gran’! Lion ’kin ! ebery man
wear Hon ’kin! An’ den, when he turn
rounAan 1 git mad, I tell you, he shake he
tail an’ jump a hundred yards in a minute !
An’ den dey beat de drum ! Lah! dey hear
him from here to New York in a minute!
Among these memorabilia I must not omit
the convictions of this experienced man on
the fallacy of predictions of the weather, then
common in the almanacs: “An’ den you
link you tell when he goin’ to rain, by the
almanac; an’ he know nothin’ about it. I’ll
tell you how to know when he goin’ to
rain.”
“How is that, Douglas?”
“Why, I teU you: when de winds blow,
an’ de clouds gedder an’ grow tick, an’ he
tuDner an’lightning come, an’ he grow dark,
an’ he begin to come drop, drop—dat’s a sure
an’ sartin sign he goin’ to rain.”
In the month of January of one year, as is
not very uncommonly the case in the present
age, there occurred a continued interval ol
very mild weather; the snows and ice
thawed, and were drained off; the few pave
ments that existed became clean; the grass
turned greenish, and the leaf-buds on aom;
trees visibly enlarged. The young people oi
Mr. Stacy’s family were out of doors in the
sunny courlyard, enjoying the mild air
“Nyah!” cries Douglas—“now you tink
him all goin’ to be fine time, an’ de winter a
all ober, an’ de flowers goin’ to come, an’
everytieg be nice! I tell you what! Nebbe
you min’. J tell you Feb’ua’y no fool! He
come yet! Nebbe you min’!” February, as
may be supposed, certainly fulfilled the pre
diction, and came in all his terrors.
Douglas had been impudent to bis mistress.
“ You good-for-nothing fellow ! I declare l
think you ought to have your wool Well
pulled for your impudence.”
“Bull, misßey! You call cVisbull?”
“Why, to be sure * ca u it wool. What
else should it called?"
“'Yljy, I don’t know. Some fine stuff
wbat you women make what you call Gene
by (Genoa) belbet of."
Notwithstanding the blessings of good
health and a comfortable living, the effect of
time upon the mußcular frame of our philoso
pher did not fail to make its visible appear
ance, any more than, i’ebru&ry. Douglas was
standing outside of the gate, preparing to
mount 7, horse. The confidence occasionally
placed in a well-tried slave, it appears, was
not confined to the Southern States, then col
onies; and a horse we,a in waiting. “Nvab!
now you see Johnson’s Poll, dere, a-lookin at
mu,” noddiag toward the other side ot the
Street “She tink de old man can’t jump on
hishoss. We’ll see.” He makes a vigorous
spring, flies quite over the animal, and,! was
near saying, finds himself sprawling Id
the dust of the road, on his back. Tbus
far the present historian feels borne out by
uncontradicted evidence; but, upon y ,a con
sideration of all the different accounts lie is
not perhaps quite authorized tot* assert posr
tively that Douglas at that moment found
himself anywhere; for more than one very
good authority alleges that the unfortunate
athlete waß quite stunned by tne fall, and was
carried home insensible. Notwithstanding,
indeed, his familiarity with the honors or
English aristocratical families, he would ap
• pear to have been unacquainted with that
Shakespearian criticism that has restored the
true reading of
“Vaulting ambition, that o’erleaps its stUe,
And falls on th 1 other side.”
Nor does his philosophy appear to have re
called to him at that moment the maxim ol
the wiße man of Greece — Hidden agcin, or
ne quid nimis.
In a religious assemblage for public wor
ship, at the moment of a general silence
as severe as that of a Quaker meet
ing, the principal door opens, and
enter Mr. Douglas, well known, m per
son, to many of those present. He takes two
or three steps up the middle passage,and then
discovers a houße-pupil of Mr. Stacy. We
will call this youth, afterward to be an lnllu
ential citizen, Jabez Tyler. “You, Jake
Tyle,” bawls the intruder, “you tell me
whereabout our Tom Jack set?" No an
swer, Tyler concealing his face in a convul
B ion of silent laughter. At length some kind
individual points out to Douglas where he
will probably find Thomas Jacques. He
proceeds to the top of a staircase and calls
out- “You, Tom Jack! You go to John
Stacy and tell him to give us do key of de
vault. What for ho bring it to meetiu ? How
he tink wetgoin’ git dinner?” Here the scone
shifts, the key passing into the possession of
the provident Douglas, and the solemnity of
the meeting somewhat effectually disturbed.
Nor was our considerate hero without a
proper care for the disposition of his property
after his death. The principal part of his
valuables consisted of a pair of sil
ver shoe-buckles and twenty-six
i dollars. He cites Jacques into his apartment,
i and requests the latter to write to his dicta
tion what he calls his bill. How was Jacques
to begin it?—“Why,Tom, you not know dat?
I bring you up from little puppy, only so big,
and teach an’ lam you so much, an' you don’
, know h6w to begin a bill? Why, ‘Name of
____»” (what I dare not write with Douglas>
i -flmnancy), “ ‘Amen. 1,, Earl Douglas Stacy,
make din my last bill and testament’ Dare!
t write down dat!” The formidable words are
engrossed* and it is asked, What next?
t “Why, ‘I give my daughter Bess one dol

give her one dollar for? I thought you were

This inroad upon the freedom of tea
tamentary disposal of property was soon
repelled: “Hoi’ you tongue, you pop
py! Only you min’ what I say. Write
dat down;- You jia* write down what 1
aay.” The important" legacy was en
grossed. “Den, ‘I give my. daughter Tib one
dollar.’ ” Of what name Tib is an abbrevia
tion the present historian is under the neces
sity of confessing himself profoundly igno
rant. “Den, T give my daughter Bess one
Oder dollar.’ ”
“Why, Doug.-! What is the übo of all this?
Why can’t you give them at once what you
intend them to have, and not keep writing
this over and over again? It makes just so
much writing for no purpose.”
“Nebbe you min’l I bring you up from
little puppy, an’ I knows what to do. Now
you jis’ write down what I Say, an’ you’ll see
it’ll all come right. Youtinkl such a fool
give away all my money at once?” There
was no resisting this; and the twenty-six
legacies were all bequeathed guttatim. Next,
“Den,‘l give my daughter Bess one silver
shoe-buckle.’ ”
“Why, now, Doug.,what good can all this
do? What can your daughter Bess do with
one silver shoe-buckle? Why not give them
both to one of your daughters, and give some
thing else to the other?”
“I tell you, Tom, jis’ you write down what
old Doug. says. You jis’write down dat.
You’ll see em’ll all come right." Poor Tom
could only comply. “Den, ‘I give my daugh
ter Tib one oder silver shoe-buckle.' ” This
also is engrossed. “Now, my bill is that my
daughter BeBS and my daughter Tib shall toßs
up which shall have both. Ah! eh! eh! hey!
Didn’t I tell you it would all come right?
Now don’ you talk to old Doug. He know
what him about”
At length all the bequests are properly ad
justed: “Well! now I goin’ to p’int what you
white folks call ‘zecketer.’ Now, Tom, I
been old frien’ of yours; I bring you up from
little puppy, an’ I always berry good to you;
an’ I tiDk you have likin’ enough for old
Doug, to take some trouble for him. I been
tipkin’ I goin’ make you one of my ‘zecke T
ters.’” .Jacques consents, and sets himself
down as one of the executors.
“Well, Douglas, who is to be the other
executor?"
“Why, I’m tinkin’ of ’pintin’ the Monthly
Meetin’ of Little-endians of Philadelphia my
other zecketer.”
“Why, Douglas, you cannot certainly think
of such a thing as that 1 How do you expect
so many people will trouble themselves about
your affairs?”
“Ah ! Little-endians ought to be very good
to old Doug. Many a hod of bricks an' mor
tar he carry up to build deir big meetin -
house.”
“Why, Douglas, the thing is impossible;
they could not do it if they were to try. You
cannot expect so many people to look into
your accounts. You must give this up.”
“Ah, den, Tom, I tell you what I do it for:
’cause, one cheat, toder fin’ him out.”
Whether the Monthly Meeting was consti
tuted the second executor is a point whicu
we fear is forever lost to history. The
present writer has not examined the record
in the State House at Philadelphia with the
intent to ascertain whether this will is to tr
found there, and has passed through ali
the legal forms —a point on whioh ho has
some doubts. He believes, however, that the
legacies were correctly paid, with some smalt
addition, and the heiresses satisfied.
The reflective and experienced Douglas had
not, however, left the preparation of his will
to the laßt moments of life, and, by the adop
tion of this course, exposed his affairs ti
suffer from the decay c! ms faculties, it
would, ip Vruth, be an extremely doubtful as
sertloh to allege that they were not as per fee:
at that moment as they had ever beeu. In
the full maturity of his years, whether such
be the case or not, he came to the conclusion
that Mr. 'SttPcy had too easy a bargain with
hlin.'and wus not aware of his value and im
portance in the household. The remedy for
tblß W&s ts run away, and remain absent till
his mtSkte? Bhould have time to feel the loss
and realize Douglas’s actual usefulness, io
do this' and learn the result, it was neces
sary to lie concealed in the neighborhood;
and that achievement, considering that
no inquiry was made after him, was not
difficult amid his colored acquaintance.
I use the word “colored” in deference to cus
tom and public opinion: Douglas himself,
being of pure African blood, a 3 his acquain
tance with the court of the king of Guinea
would seem to indicate, was of a hue I have
distinguished by the words jet black. No
remarkable convulsion ensued in the house
hold of Mr. Stacy. Douglas was obliged
submit to the fate of all great men—that of
the world finding that it could do very well
without them; and the real course of events
will be best learned from the following con
versation. Whether this was betrayed by an
associate, as I take to have been the case, or
whether some Anglo-Saxon was so. treacher
ous aB to listen through an open window, I
know not with certainty; but aB the table
turning spirits had not,at that time, bestowed
a very marked share of their labors'upon the
living generation—or, if they had, have not
j received full justice from human records—the
narrative is believed to depend upon earthly
I evidence.
“Ah, Doug. ! dat you ?’’
“Yes, it’s me, Will. Dat you ? How you
do, eh ? Well, how dey git along at John
S'.acy’s now ? How dey git de work done
now ?”
“Why, alter you were gone, dey hired
Johnson’s Jem.”
“Ah! hum! Well, how he git along,
bay ?”
“Why, be do de same work you used to.’
“Ah ! bum ! He brush him coat, an’ brack
him shoes, an’ all dat, an’ take care of de
[dace, an’ go to de door, an’ all?”
“Yes —Jem do all dat.”
“Ah ! An’ who tag after am all a way to
market, an’ carry de basket, an’ bring back
de meat an’ appleß an’ tings ? an’ who run on
arrands?an’ who scrub de yard? an’ who
pump water, an’ do all dem tings?”
“Why, Jem doeß all dem tings too.”
“Nyah !” (or, more properly, Nyah-h-h).
“Jetp do eberyling.”
A week or ten days rolled by. The Ame
rican Revolution, with all its interests, ap -
preached so much the nearer, and yet no vio
lent shock was perceived in the household q!
John Stacy; when suddenly, one fine summer
morning, in crossing his front entry, he wa’*
Btartled by the apparition of the long-lost
Douglas. Copying the style of an Indian war
rior of the period, which he had had many
opportunities of witnessing, the philosopher
stood in the door without saying a word or
making any apparent motion. The Indian
would have Intended this as a combination
of modesty and dignity. The first movement
toward hospitality was the province of the
master of the house: tbo visitor was neither
to usk nor to seem to seek for it by a conciti
story manner. Such, we believe, was thi
Chesterfieldism of the Lenni Lenapj. From
John Stacy a severer reception awaited the
, grave visitor: “Why, Douglas, you i dip tv
dcDt fellow! is that you? Where have you
been? and what have you been doing all thD
time?"
“Where I been? whore I been, you say?
Why, up hill an’ down dale. Whore you link
I should' be?" ’ o
“What business had yoh to go away atrd
leave the house in this manner!" !
“Why, John Stacy, I tired of brash your
coat, an’ brack your shoes,.an’ run after yon
to market ebery day." : C
“You good-for-nothing fellow! I declare f.
wish somebody ■would take you off my hands
and take care of you) and never let mehear
of you again!" ' ; ;
“Well, den, John Stacy, I make you a
’posal.” \ ■
“Well, what have you to say?”
“Well, den, John Stacy, I tink, s’pose you
give me a nice little farm, ’bout tree, four
hundred acres or so, ’bout twenty mile out or
town, an’ give me ’bout tree, four hundred
dollar a year; I don’t doubt I could get along
wldout you bery well.”
“Get along to your work, you worthless
fellow! and donk let me hear any more of
your bad behavior. ” , ,
“Ah, well! John Stacy, I lib wid you long
time, an’ you eat o’ my flesb: I b’lieve I let
you pick my bone.” , B. H. Coates.

Hair Vigor,
For the Renovation of the Hair.
The Great Desideratum of the Age.
A dressing •which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color
and the gloss. and
freshness of youth.
Thin ’ hair is 'thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dyo, it docs
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
longer on the hair, giving it a rich
glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

XHE ABSOBPIIOS OF CANADA,
A Toronto Journal Bldlcules tlio Idea,
and Indulge* In a Lillie Bounce,
[from the Toronto Globe, Arid 16.1
As onr readers are aware, the Clarendon-John
son treaty about the Alabama business has been
rejected by the Senate of the United Stales, and if
anything Is to be done in the premises, the whole
work most be begun de noco. Tne speech of Mr.
Sumner, in proposing the rejection of tho treaty,
goes over the whole ground, with nothing
very remarkable In tho way of doing it.
It It somewhat difficult to find out what
be would be at, for. while he proposes the re
jection ol the agreed-upon basis, he hints at
nothing in return. * * * What then? Why, if
this talk amounts to anything, It means, as Mr.
Thornton said. War. Mr Bumner says, England
should be expected to admit that the recognition
was unlawful. Nobody knows better than Mr.
Sumner that that IS; the very thing England will
not do. She has already acquiesced in every pro
posal whjcb baa been made, and when the .e pro
positions have been rejected by the very party In
whose name they were advanced. England can,
In the natureof things, have no coanter-proposl
uon to urge; and we may rest assured, will quite
as little make one under Gladstone as under Dis
raeli. The talk which Sumner Indulges in shows
very clearly that tho American government does
not wish the question settled forthwitb. It is useful
in the business of home politics and it is regarded
as a convenient screw for pressing a good bar
gain with Britain in other ways. It will help to
keep no the feeling of animosity towards the old
country, so devoutly cherished by a considerable
portion of thb'frec and enlightened; and, It is
hoped, will mako the offender, real or supposed,
willing to come to better terms by and by. Very
few In the States, except among the more Igno
rant Fenians and more rabid and reckless politi
cians, dream at this moment of making the Ala
bama dispute the occasion for war.
Notwithstanding all their swagger, the
Americans have clear ideas of what
is involved in snch an eventuality,
and they have no inclination to run the risk.
Whenever a hard bargain has had to ba driven,
thli, however, has been their cine, and they are
now reckoning upon the ignorance and squeeze
ability of British statesmen, as in former times,
for securing a good deal, at any rate, of what
they want. In this we believe they are mistaken.
Formerly they were contented with large slices
of territory, more than were justly one. Tho ig
norance of British diplomatists made this easy.
Now, perhaps, grown bold by snccess, they
dream of taking all' North America as a peace
offering, and Imagine that all that is necessary to
this is tbi kick and swagger, as in the case
of the Maine boundary, and the thing
will be done. like the soldier that drew his
sword and threatened dreadful things if he did
not get a pnif of boots at his own price, they
would be the readiest, after getting wbat they
wished, to reply to the inquiry about what they
would have done, supposing that they had been
refused. “Done! Why! What could we have
done? Done without, to be sure!" Exactly,
and that will be found to be the upshot of the
whole affair. When tho Americans have dis
covered that they cannot secure anything by
bullying, they will either forget the Alabama alto
gether, or will agree to some equitable method
of Bottling the claims.
XUe wife of Lafayette.
In the bloody days of the French Revolu
tion Marechale de Noailles, the Duchease
d’Ayen, and the Yicomtease de Noailles were
executed on the same day. A priest of the
Oratory, the Abbe Carrichon, was the con
fessor of the Duchease d’Ayen and her daugh
ter. One day that he was exhorting his
penitents to prepare lor death he said to
them: “If you go to the guillotine, and if God
.gives me strength, I will accompany you
there.” They him at his word and cried
out with vivacity*.“will you promise us?”
“Yes,” he ansWerajit “and in order that you
•may recognize me 1 shall have on a blue
coat and a" red vest. The day when the
three victims ' mounted the fatal cart, the
Abbe Carrichon,disguised as he had promised,
threatened with certain death if he was dis
covered, tnibgled in the crowd and followed
them on foot up to the scaffold. He had
trouble ht first to make himself recognized, in
spite of all Ids efforts to put himself in view;
but, a storm having .broken out, the people
dispersed, and the /priest remained alone.
“Mme. de Nodalles perceived me and, smiling,
seemed to say to me: ‘Ah! there you are at
last. Ah! how sad we are. We looked for
you for a long time. Mamma, there he is.’
Mme. d’A]fan revived. All my irresolution
ceased- I felt in myself an extraordinary
■courage. Bathed in sweat and rain I con
tinued to walk near them.
“The storm was at its highest point, the
■wind more ‘ fmpetuouB.“' The ladies in the
.first cart were very much troubled by it, par
ticularly the Marechale de Noailles; her large
•cap was thrown, back, letting her gray hair
be seen; she tottered on her miserable seat,
■which had no support, her hands tied be -
bind her bach; We arrived At the open place
Where theFaubourg Saint Antoine begins.
I went before, I examined it, and I said to
myselpiThis is tho best place to give what
they wish so much to receive. ’ The cart was
going slower. I turned towards them; I
made a- sign “to Madame ■de ■ No
ailles,-: which- P she . understood perfectly.
‘MammßpM. Carrichon is gfaing to give us
the .absolution.’ Immediately they bowed
their' heads with an air of repentance, of
contrition, of emotion, of hope and pity. I
raised my hand, and with my head covered,
pronounced the formula of absolution and the
words which follow it very distinctly, and
with a preternatural attention. They j oined
it better than'ever. 1 shall never forget that
charming picture. From that moment the
storm went down, the rain diminished, and
seemed to have existed only for the success
of that which was so much desired on both
sides. I blessed God; they did also.”
Wbat 'a picture, in fact! the good priest
calls it charming, and snch a word in such a
moment is sublime. The details of the exe
cution are related with the same eloquent
simplicity. “The Mareohale de Noaille9 as
cended on the altar of sacrifice. The top of
her dress had to be folded in, that her neck
might be uncovered. I was impatient to go
away, and yet I wished to drink the cup to
thedregßand to keep my word, since God
gave me tbe strength to contain myself in the
midst of 80 many emotions. Six ladies next
passed. Mme. d’Ayen was the tenth. How
pleased she seemed to me to die before her
daughter. When Bhe ascended the scaffold
the chief executioner took off her cap. As
it fastened by a pin which he had not
taken out, the hair was pulled, violently,
which cansed her sonie pain, which showed
itself in her features. The mother disap
peared—her worthy, and tender daughter took
her place. What emotion I felt on seeing
this yonDg lady ail in white, seeming much
younger than she was, like a gentle little
lamb going to be slaughtered! I felt as if I
was present at the martyrdom of one of those
young virgins or holy women such as they
are represented to us. What happened to the
mother happened also to her; the same for
getfulness of the pin.the same sign of pain,
and at once the same calm, the same death.
What an abundance of vermilion blood
flowed from the head and the neck ! How
happy she is ! I cried to myself, when her
body was thrown into that frightful coffin.”,
The daughter; grand-daughter, and sister of
these three innocent victims, Adriepne de
Noailles, Madame Lafayette, was bom in
1750. Her daughter tells ns that she was in
her childhood very much troubled by doubts
on religion. The agitation commenced at the
age of twelve aDd lasted several years. Al
though che experienced great trouble from
her uncertainties, she voluntarily deferred
her first communication until the moment
they had ceased, which was already an as
tonishing trait of character in a child of this
age. She married when fourteen and a half;
M. de Latayette was himself only
sixteen. She was also in her eighteenth
year when her husband departed for America.
She endured with courage this unexpected
separation; her ardent love for her husband
was exactly what made her strength. The
resolution of M. de Lafayette, winch some
very much applauded, was blamed exceed
ingly by others; the Due d’Ayen in particular
did not dissemble his anger. Tbe young wife
did without hesitating what she was to do ail
ber life —she took the part of her husband
against her own family, and swallowed her
tears. Lafayette returned with gratitude this
passionate devotion; what might have divided
them united more closely.
Edge Tools.
All cutting and piercing edge tools operate
on the principle of the wedge. A brad awl
furnishes an example which all-can. readily
understand. The cutting-edge of the awl
severs the fibres of wood as the instrument
enters, and the particles are compressed into
a smaller compass, in tbe same manner as.
when a piece of wood is separated by a
wedge. A chisel is a wedge in one sense;
and an axe, drawing-knife, or jack-knife is
also a wedge. When a keen-edged razor is
made to clip a hair or to remove a man's
beard, it operates on the principle of the
wedge.
Every intelligent mechanic understands
that when a wedge is dressed oat smoothly,it
may be driven in with mnch less force than if
its surface were left jagged and rough. The
same idea holds good with respect to edge
tools. If the cutting edge be grotind and whet
to as fine an edge as may be practicable with
a fine-gritted whet-stone, and if the surface
back of the catting edge be ground smooth
and tree, and polished neatly, so that one can
diecerS the color of his eyes by means of the
polished surface, the tool will enter whatever
is to be cut by the application of much less
force than if the surfaces were left as rough
as they usually are when the tool leaves
the grindstone. All edge tools, such as
axes, chisels and planes, that are operated
w ith a crushing instead of a drawing stroke,
should be polished neatly, clear to the cutting
edge, to facilitate their entrance into the
substance to be cut. — Manufacturer and

resolution that the President bp directed to open
negotiations with England for a settlement of all’,
open questions, on the basis of a surrender of all
tho British North American to tho
United States, andmade a spoeoh In favor of tho
proposition.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY. APRIL 20, 1869*
Mr. read long extracts from his
former speeches to show that he originated the
position now nrenmed by the Committee on For
eign Relations,and insisted if his advice had been
followed heretofore, the Alabama and all other
clalmsiwonld not remain unsettled,bnt that If tho
resolutions bo offered, looking to tbe withdrawal
of onr! Minister and non-intcrconrso. had been
adopted, snch claims would have been paid in
thirty ’days. “
In concluding, Mr. Chandler said that he hoped
tbe proposed negotiations would be made, and
tbe Canadas be acquired peaceably. But if Eng
land would not settle, and desired war, let It be
sharp, short and decisive. The sixty thousand
veterans ol Michigan alone would see to the cap
ture of tbe British North American provinces.
As in the cash of France with Mexico, Great
British bad staked tho continuance of ber em
pire Inj America on the success of the Rebellion.
The; resolution was then referred to the Com
mltiee on Foreign Relation.
Messrs. Cole and Cossorly. denied having
authorized the statement telegraphed to the New
York World that there would be a called session
of Congress. \: ‘ * j-'. 7;. '
Mr. Kellogg offered a resolution directing an
examination' of tbe bars at the mouth of the
Mississippi, and a report as to tbe best mode of re
moving the obstacles to commerce. Agreed to.
Then at 1 20 the Senate proceeded to the con
sideration of Executive business.
