joined her troops. In her presence they

!partook of the communion with her.—
"They had grown young again . and felt
. full of good-will and of hope"— they woidd

world's end. When banois f.mme to meet
her just below Orleans, she said—'

Jeanne Darc was now eager for an 'im

swelled the forces of !Napoleon, when he
set out for goseow,led comers, politicians,
enthusiasts; and even the indolent young
King to enlist under the standard of
Jeanne Dare.
At starting they were twelve thousand,
but they gathered reinforcenients, as they
'swept on.. They who had no armor join
ed the holy expedition with no otherde ,
fence than a leathern jack, 'As arche - rs, or

of white butterflies floating about, her
snowy banner. 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:— -

A multitude, whose billowe trade no sound,

And what wily done within! within the light
Through the rich gloom of pictured windows flowing,
Tinged with soft awfulness a stately eight,

And shadowed .by the ancestral tombs, a king

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. Lithe place of honor next
the King, and with a• 'chalice not a whit
inferior to=the royal pass-cup, sat Seamie.
As her gaze wandered over the revellers,
it ever. and anon met theeyei Of Colonel
Clairmont. _They seemed - , as earnest, as
admiring as they had of yore, in the little
village of Domremi, but they no 'longer ,
thrilled her with strange, • delicious emo
tidos. When the banquet was over, and
khe had steßped out into the garden for a
moment's rest, his shadow fell across her
moonlit path, his voice murmured—
"Oh, Jeanne, Jeanne, I mast speak to,
you once more, once more at least..

As she spoke she' paused, and . leaned

Jeanne, I adore you! • Be mine, and I will

The young enthusiast shook her head.
" ffeari-Clairmcnit," she replied, "on
the diY that I witnessed your marriage, I
biiried my love—nay, more. 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

And nimi k l ie : r • laying followed4eanne. Dare's

dy
); of her life. . •
So remarkable ha been the success of
_ .
the French arms under her leaderslilp that
the English resolVedto leave no means
untried to kill or capture her. 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

of Rouen. • There three scaffolds had been
raised—one for the royal and ..ecelesia,sti

preachers and the condemned,and thethird

the act of condemnation, concluding
with- -
i',We deliver you over to the secular
power, praying it at the same time to re

That night two men.it-arms gathered
her ashes in an urn, and bore them away

mingled their.tears with those of the be

over the tnartyi'a.grave they . raised a stone
bearing the simple Inscription—

O
Though April brings greatlY iocreased

ed Impatiently to re-commence active op
eratimis. There is Lciw no time to be lost
if-everything is not in readiness for the
Spring work, whiblk will soon demand all
our energy and care.
Abcounts—Keep a regular account
'with each field, charge it with all expentes
and giving credit w4Cn the crop is return

treatment are most profitable. ' Let' all

decay: If grbund bones or bone sawings
are accessible, use them in.preferenee to
any " patent" preparations..
Buildings—Remove banking from the
sides of the house. Repair damages done
by March winds. See that eaves-trobghs
and gutlera are free from leaves, or other
obstructions. 'Clear out rubbish- from
barns and sheds. Cleanse and whitewish
Uoultry'houses, and other out buildings,
both to improve the appearance and pre
vent vermin. If vines are to be-trained
topotCcoei or the sides of the house, pre-'.
pare proper supports. A trellis made by
pauhng cleats to the building and passing
wires through them, or nailing, on. cross
stripS, is usually preferable to attaching
vines'directly to the boards. - •
Calves—Raise enough of the best to
keep the supply of stock ample. Teach
them to drink when two days old: Com
nenee with new milk, and gradhally-xnix
skimmed milk with their allowance.--
Shorts, oat meal, or refuse wheat ground
may be given after a few weeks. Keep
pens dry arid clean.
Carrots—Try a plot for winter feed for
