ASE3BA3 eiUL A-TALK OP TflE FRECH REVOLUTION. During the "Reign of Terror" io France there were tnaoy deeds of daring performed, even by women, and many examples of affeo- tiou exhibited. The very streets of Pans were deluged with human blood, but near the guillotine it ran iu rushing torrents. Oue dark morning an unusual number 01 of aristocracy had been marched forth, and oouutleas heads rolled from the block. A gapiii multitude stood by, and with shouts rent the air as the aristocracy were thus! butchered. Among the assembled multi tude, that dreary moroiDg, were two fe males. Oue of them was plaiuly clad, while a cloak was thrown around her, wi'.h which she kept her features nearly con cealed. But a clo.se oliservatinn wnnM hn. tray the fact the woman had beou weeping. Her eyes were inflamed and red, and she gazed eagerly upon the platform, while a shock of the glitteriug knife severed the head from the body of some one who had been uufortuate enough to fall under the ban of the two leaders. The face of Ihe wouiuu was very beautiful, and she was young certainly not more than sixteen or eighteen years of age. 9 The other female was quite different in character. Her face was fair, but there was a bra'ien expression about it. She was olad in rags, and as each head fell Bhe would dauce. aud in various ways express her deiight, and cxeluiru : ere falle another utistocrat, who re. fused me charity when I humbly pued him! Each exprossiou of the kind would cre- ato a laugh from those who heard her. I!., .1 . .. .1. 1 y iiiimguiiui person must wonder how one so young could haxe been so de praved. The fiibi teuialo watched this creature tor a few moments, and then pres sing her hand to her aide eh.e laid her head on the shoulder of the wretch, uud whis pered : 'Would you like to become rich at once? Tl - 1 I. . . , . . iuc letnaio in rags turned BDuut With a look of surprise, burst in a loud laugh, aud then replied : 'Of course I would.' 'Follow me, aud you shall be.' 'Enough. Lea on.' It was with considerable difficulty that the females extracted themselves from the crowd; but they did so at length, and then the first female asked of the other 'What shall I call you V 'Oh ! I am culled tho Beggar Girl Ma rie.' You live by bogging !' 'Yes but what's your name, and what do want V 'My name iu Mirie, the tame as your own. 'Are you an aristocrat ?' 'It does not matter. If you know where wa can find a room, lead me to it, and you shall have gold.' I he pauper lead the way into a narrow, filthy street, and then down into a cellar, and into a dark and filthy room. The other femalo could but feel a sickening sen sation creep over her, but she recovered herself. After couteniplating for a time the apartment, and what it contained, tho asked: 'Are you well known in Paiis V 'Yes. Every body knows Marie the Beggar Girl.' 'Are you known to Robespierre? If so I want to make a bargain with you." 'I am. What do you wish V 'You see my clothing is better than your own, and I wish to exchange with you. I want you to remain here and not show your self at all for a short time, or until I come to you again. Aa a recompense for aiding me I Will give you a tiiousani trauces and when 1 come back I will give a thousand more. As secuirty for my return take this ring." The lady drew a dimond from her finger and gave it to the beggar girl. Then han ding ber a purse containing gold. The girl appeared a little puzzeled, and asked : 'Well, what are you going to do with my dress ?' I want to put it on, and go where I first met you.' 'Oh I uodertsaad now. You want to see the chopping going on; and you are afraid that you will be taken for an aristocrat if you wear that dress. You want to repre sent ma V 'Yea, I want to look as near lika you aa possible.' , , - . Well that won't be diffioult. Your hair and eyes, even your mouth it like mine. Your face is too white, though. But you can alter that with a little dirt.' They exchanged dresce, and soon the rich and noble Marie de Nantes was clad io the rags of Marie, the beggar Girl of Paris. The history of Marie de Nates was a sad one. Her f jtber and two brothers had fallen victims to the remorseless fiends of the Revolution, and the third and last brother had been seized. But of bis fate she was ignorant, although she expected that it would be similar to that of her relatives. He had been torn, from her side but a few hours before. After the exchange hud been made the pauper looked on the stockiulcss and shoeless feet aud ankles of the lady, and said : 'That will Dcvdea do. Your feet are too white and delicate. Let me araaDgo mat ters.' In a few moments Marie was prepared, aud in the filth and rags sho emerged into the street. Sho now took her course back towards the guiloutiue, aud at length reach ed the square where the bloody work was still going on. Gradually and easily she forced her way through the crowd, and nearer aod nearer bhe came to thescaffuld. She even forced a laugh at several remarks she heard around ler, but those sounded strangely. She now stood within the plat form, and swept it wfih her eyes, but her brother was not there. The cry wa now raised : 'Here comes another batch.' Her heart fluttered violently and she fell a faintue?s come over her as she heard the tramp of the doomed men approaching Her brother walked proudly, and fearlessly forward, and ascended the very steps that led to the block. Up to this moment the strength of poor Marie had failed her, and she was unable to put her resolve iuto exe cution. But now a sister's love swelled up iu her heart, and she recovered her strength She sprang forward, bursting through the line of guards, and ran up the steps, damp ing her brother by the hand, she cried : 'What docs this mean ? It is only tho aristocrats that ate to die.' 'Away, woman,' exclaimed one of the ex ecutioners.' "No: I will not away until you tell rae why my brother is thus bound. 'Your brother,' was the echo. 'Well, who are you V 'lam Marie; don t you know me 1' 'The beggar girl ' 'Aye.' 'But this id not your brother.' 'It is. Ask him ask him.' Young Antouio de "Nantes had turned a scornful glance upon the maiden, but a light crimed his face, and he murmered : 'Oh, my sister '.' 'Is this your brother?' asked Robespier re of the supposed beggar, advancing near her. 'It is.' 'Does Marie speak the truth ?' r asked Robespierro. 'bhe does, was the brother reply. 'And are you not De Nantes?' I tell yon I am her brother.' Why did you not tell us of this before 7' 'I attempted to speak aud was silenced.' 'But you might have declaired yourself.' 'You would not have believed me., 'But your dress V 'It belonged to an aristocrat. Perhaps to him for whom I was taken. Roberspierre advanced close to young Nantcz, aud gazed earnestly into his face; tben he approached Marie, and looked steadily in ber eyes for a short time. It ,vas a moment ot trial for the poor girl. She trembled in cpite of all her eOorts to be calm. She alu.ost felt that she w,is lost, when the human fiend whose word was law turned and said': 'Release the man.' The chains were instantly removed, and Antonio de Nantes walked down from the scaffold, and followed by his sister, while shouts rent the air, for they supposed be was a commoner who had thus been saved. The young man worked his way through the crowd as rapidly as possible, leading Mary. They bad scaroely escaped it be fore the poor girl fainted from the intensi ty of her feelings. The brother scarcely knew what to do, but hand was laid on his arm ami a voice said : 'Bring her to my "room again. She will be sufe there.' The brother conveyed her to tho appart meot of the pauper, aod asked of her: ' 'Have you seen the female before V 'Yes ! I know all about it,' returned the ptfuper. 'She borrowed my clothes to save Ler lover. She has done it, and I am glad.' - Before the nolle sister returned to eon- soiouuess the brother had learned all. When she recovered they both sought more secure quarters, after rewarding the beggar girl, as promised. 'Do you think Robespierre was really de ceved V asked Marie de Nantes. I think not,' returned the brother. . Then why did ho order you released ?' 'He saw your plan he admired your cour age. Could a lriend have done less?' 'Perhrps this was the case, but if bo it was a deed of mercy, aud the only one that man ever did.' "You are right.' Antcnio de Nantes was not again arres ted, and lived happily with that sister who had so nobly periled her own life to save him by representing the Beggar Girl of Paris. Hear Him I While so much is being said about uo- mun'i rights, it is a pity if the hoy cau't say a word about theirs. So thiuks one boy, at least, and he has mado uo the fol lowing "composition" to express his feel ings : lullt about tho woman and the the all the rest of 'em ; noue of 'em all are half so badly used as boys are. Ask any boy know a lot, and I cau tell 'em all by name sk email, lhey'll tell you to bo a bov is to be somebody with uary a eight in the world. You're to take all tho saas that's giveu, but not give any back ! Why ? 'Cause you're a boy." Iu cars and omnibuses you get cheated out of your seatIl it's wauted, 'cuuso you'ie a boy aud not a man. A woman gets in car is full and looks at the boy. An old gentleman says : "my son," reprovingly. Conductor says, ''Come, boy." You've paid your fare. No matter for that, you're a boy. Have been on your feet all day, carrying bundles. Who cares ? you're nothing but a boy 4 Who wants a boy auywhere? Your eis ter don't in the parlor. Your father don't 5 he always asks you whether you'ro not wanted to do something soiuewhera. You make you're mother's head ache whenever you come near her. Young wo men "hate boys." Young mcu teaso you, and "give it to you" if you tease back. You wonder if you were that pretty little fellow in peticoats that everybody stuffed with oatidy; and you won ler whether you'll ever be a man, and be liked by the girls, and treated politely by other fellows, and paid for your work, uud allowod to do as you choose. And you thus make up youf mind every day not to "be a boy aty longer thau yon cau help it. Taken in. Tho Rev. Mr. Edmunds ot Beavertown was taken and done for a short time ago by the Riverside swindle. He received a circular letter stating that he had drawn a watch worth 8200,00, and that us soon as he forwarded $13 to pay the commission, etc, the watch would be forwarded. He ordered it by express C. O. D. After be paid the money and open ed the package he found in it a watch worth about five cents or less. It- is surprising that clergymen will engage in such small business ; but we kuew of one in this place about two years ago, or less, who seut two dollars lor a yold watih and wrote a long letter urging them to send him a right good one, as he was a clergyman and from bis position and influence Iu the commu nity be could by showing it around, be the cause of bringing them a good deal of cus tom. He never got a chance to uhb his great iuflueuce in this way, as he never heard ot his $2 or the watch again ! A man (must be a great fool to be led to believe that people in New York will insist on giving away ?200 watches for fioia $2 to $13. Sdingrove Timet. The editor of a country paper in Illiuois, who has suffered from the depredations of thieves, prints this paragraph : "The other night we charged a lump of coal with pow der. During the night it was stolen. The next morning a stove was blown higher than Mr. Gilroy'a kite. We have auother lump charged." , Every American boy has a right to learn whatever honest trade his own inclination, under his father's direction, may lead him to. And when he has learned it, any man has a right to otter Li in employment, and he has a right to aecept it. All combina tions that infringe upon these are against the plainest interests of tbe community.' A newly-iaarried . man compared hi wife to a pcrfeot rose, but thiuks that she ''blows out" a little too olteo, MESSAGE FBOH THE PRESIDENT. To the Senate and House of Hfpregentatives: It is unusual to notify the two Houses of Congress by message of the promulgation, by the proclamation of the Secretary of State, of the ratification of a Constitutional ainendmont. In view, . however, of the vast importance of the Fifteenth Amend, ment to the Constitution, this day declared - a part of that revered instrument I deem a departure from the usuul custom justifi able. s The measure which makes at once four millions of people voters who were hereto fore declared by the highest tribunal iu the land not citizens of the United States, and not eligible to become so, with the as sertion that at the time of this Declaration of Independence the opinion was fixed and universal iu tho civilized portion of the white race, regarded as an axiom in mnr.-.!a as well as in polifa, that "tho black man, had no rights which the white man was bound to respect," is indeed a measure grander in importance than any other ouo act of the kind from the foundation of our fiee Government to the present day. In stitutions liko ours, in wLinh all poww is derived directly from tho people, must de pend mainly upon their intelligence, patriot ism nnd industry. I call the attention, therefore, of the newly-enfranchised raco to the importance of their striving, in every honorable manner, to make themselves worthy of their new privilege. To the race more favored heretofore by laws, I would say withhold no legal privilege, of advance ment to the new citizens. The fiamers of our Constitution firmlv believeM a .Republican government could not enduro without intelligence and educa tion generally diffused among ihe people. The Father of his Country, in his farewell address, uses this language: "Promote, then, as a matter of primary importance institution for the general diffusion of knowledge." In proportion as the sttuct- ure of the government gives force to pub lic opinion, it is essential that public opin. ion should bo enlightened. In his first an- nuual message to Congress, tho same views are forcibly presented, and again ured in his eighth message. I repeat, the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment to tho Constitution cotunlptpv me greatest civil chapgo and constitutes the most importaut evcut that bag occurred since the nation came into life. The change will be beneficial in proportion'to the heed given to tho urgeut recommendations of rt'ashingfun. If these recommendations were important then, with a population of but a few millions, how much more impor tant now, with a population of forty millions, and increasing in rapid ratio. I would, therefore, call on Cougress to take all tha means within their constitutional powers to promote atid encourage popular educa tion throughout the country, and upon the people everywhere to see to it that who possess aud exercise political rights shall have the opportunity to acquire the know ledge which will make their share in the government a blessing and not a dariger. By such means only can the benefits con tcmplatcd by this amendment to tho Con stitution bo secured. (-igned) TJ. S. Geant.. Executive Mansion, 3Iarch 30, 1870. I ...... Worse and worse !
