A week iater Charles made a triumphant entry into Rheims, and 'on the followin.gliabbath was crown ed with the . diadem,of Clovis in the grand .old cathedral. That coronation has been beautifully described by s Mrs. Hemanin the lines, commencing:— - = - ' • That WM ajoyints tiny in Itheirds of When peal on peal of mighty music rolled Forth from her thronged embank!, while around A multitude, whose billowe trade no sound, Chained to a hush of wonder, though elate With victory, listened at their temple's gate.

For this the hymn Swelled out like rushing waters, and the day Withthesweet center's misty bnrattigrow dim, As throuith.loug aisles; it floated **trete array Of anus and sweeping stoler.". Alone beside the altar•stone. With the white banner for the like sunshine streaming, And the gold helm thro' clouds of fragrance gleaming." stood Jeanne Dare. With many atinaint rite, Charles VII. was anointed, installed on iris throne, and crowned. As the dia dem was placed oh his head, Jeanne flung hirselt at his feet,,and burst .into tears of joy - Oh, gentle King," she : exclaimed, scnow is fulfilled the word of God, who was pleased that I should raise the siege of Orleans, and should bring you to the city of Kheims, to be crowned andanoint ed, showing you to be the true - King, and rightful; possesser of the realm of France." 'Charles gallantly raised his fair* ally, and kissed her hand, as be.murninrcd his thanks, and then cheer after cheer shook the cathedral, to its foundation. A splendinanquet followed , the coro nation. The tables groaned under rich viands,and the best wines of France Spark led in goblets of embossed gold, blazing with jewels.

I made a solemn peomise that I would-Jive and die, a maiden.- On•my' tombstone they, shall write 'JEAN:vs, LA PeCELLE. ° Go!" - The rawer was silenced by the majesty of her mien, and never again addressed her on that subject., Others, struck by her spirituelle beauty, would have•wooed and won 'her, but to all these suitors she gave a similar reply. • "nit! •! the leaning tone Deepens—lts word 'is Death.

At the seige of Compeigne, the French were obliged to retreat, and Jeanne, who had . remained in the rear, was too late to enter the gates. She was conspicuous from her white armor, — and vas soon seized and dragged from her' black: war-horse. Her captor sold her to John of Luxembourg, and his own personal interests . wonld be advanced by surrendering .her to 'the Eug,- lish. - They declared " that if the were not tried, condemned; and burned as a sorceress, her victories- would not -be set down as due to Satan, but would still appear to the world as God's own works." Charles VII., to - whom she had been such a powerful auxiliary, 'did nothing to save her ; and the good Duke Philip de ' livered her up. The wife of John of Lux embourg besought hint to spate his prisoner, but to no purpose. ' . - While m captivity, her , spirit was. at Compeigne, and so eager was she to join the troops, that .she threw • herself from the tower, and was taken up by the ladies of the family halt:dead. They nursed her, and she Partially recovered. Then' she was delivered to the. Duke of Burgtindy, and taken to the donjon keep of Crotoy.— From this place, she gazed out„and drea rily watched the tide, as it crept-o'er and o'er the sand— • " Mid round and round the sand," " As ha u eye could see." and at the distant English downs ; which she -had , once . hoped to ! tread as .a conquerer. She was fivalll brought to trial for sorcery. "•Jeanne;" asked one of the Judges, " do you believe 'yourself to, help a state . of grace ?" He had thought to prove her guilty by her answer, but she replied- - - ' "If I am not,' may God be pleased to receive me into it.; if . l am, may God be pleased to keep.me in it!" • • -We will not dwell on the formalities of the trial, but at length she was 'convicted of Sorcery and , sentenced! to death. A confessor was sent her, and when he com municated the fearful - tidings, she moan ed, and shrieked, and'tore• her hair in . an guish. • ", Alas ! am I to be treated so horribly?" she:pried ; "I would rather 'be beheaded seven times over than be burned •in this wise. Oh, I make my appeal to God, tire great ,JcoLe ofthe wrongs and grieVances - done me !" • • She then asked that she . , might receive the communion, and the eucharist was not carried to her without stole or light, as some had wished, but 'with numerous to-ches rn I a process ion 'of priests, who chanted litanies, and as they passed, bade the people pray.for her-soul. .At nine o'clock the bell solemnly tolled, and garbed asa. Woman, Jeanne was ,pla ced in a cart. A priest ; t monk and a con stable accompanied her. On they moved amid a trembling 'crowd, and.guarded by 1 1 eight hundred men-at-arms, with swords and lancen, on-to the old market-place of Rouen. • There three scaffolds had been raised—one for the royal and ..ecelesia,sti cal chairs, another for the judges, the preachers and the condemned,and thethird bearing the stake. A sermon was jzreach ed, and then the Bishop of Bauvais read the act of condemnation, concluding with- - i',We deliver you over to the secular power, praying it at the same time to re lax its Sentence, and to spare ybu death." .In this trying hour Jeanne_ asked - for the cross, and it Was brought her. She kissed it, and &friendly monk was speak— ing some consoling words,when the Eng lish Men-at:arms hurried her to the stake, I over which was a placard, with the.words: "Heretic, Idolater, 2lpas . The executioner set' fire to the pile—. the flames rose, and as she felt their scorching breath, she shrieked for holy ] water, and-called on the, saints and her God. When the last struggle, came, her head dropped - on her bosom, and murmur- 1 ! i9g . " Jesus," Jeanne Dare died / That night two men.it-arms gathered her ashes in an urn, and bore them away to Domremi, where they buried them in her father's garden, in the shadow of the village church. Those soldiers were Col onel Clairmont andLottis Mancbon. They mingled their.tears with those of the be reaved-parehts, brothertkand sisters; and over the tnartyi'a.grave they . raised a stone bearing the simple Inscription— " JEANNIE, LA Pt/CELLE." • In looking back at the eaieer of Jeanne. Dare, I am forced to the conclusion that she would,.in our day, be,call a tanatii. , --- Oran enthusiastic temperament, and stir rounded by circumstances that served to deepen her imaginative tendencies, .she took her dream for heavenly visions, and thought herself called to be a prophetess, a warrior, a martyr rather than O lowly villager, with the simple'spheie Of.das!gh ter wife and mother. That her motives were lofty we 'cannot doubt, and While Simelasts the human heart will thrill with - sadnesti as it recalls' the cruel fate of the Dreamer of Domremi. rff"A country - ed. itor speaking * of a blind sawyer, sap, "Although he can't ee he can W • • CIIAPTER IV.
