When she was seated on the bench of the
prisoners, she xvas asked if she had a defen
der. She replied that a friend had underta
ken this oliice, but not seeing him. she M'p-po.-ed
his courage had failed him, The pre
sident then assigned her the young Clinuvcun
l.agarde, afterward illustiious by hisdefenee
of the Queen, and already famous for his elo-
qneuci) am! courage in causes and times when i
the advocate shared the lioiil of his client. ,
Chaiixeau La'anle placed himself ill ihe b.Tr.
Charlotte gazed on him as though she feared
-t, to save her life, her defender would
audon some jwirl of her honor.
The widow of Marat wept while giving
her evidence. Charlotte, moved by her grief,
e.vclaimed
(-Yes, yes 'twas I that killed him." !
Shn then related the premeditatinu of iho .
act for tlueo mouths ; her project in Btabbing''
him in the Convention ; and tlio ns: sho had ;
employed to obtain access lo him. j
,,, r ii i i -.i i !-. ii. .

:Whn inspired you lo this hatted of Ma
rat V fhn xvas asked.
'I did not need the hatred of any nuo else."'
sho replied. "My oxvtl was Slillieieiit ; be
sides, you always execute badly that wliich
you have not devised yourself."
' U hat tli.l yon hate in linn !
'His crimes."
'What did you hope to effect by killing
him
"llestoro peace lo my country."
0n yon then think that you have assasiua-
led all the Murals 1"
"Sinco ho is dead, perhaps Iho others will
tremble."
The knife was shown her, that sho might
recognize it. She pushed it from her wilh a
'.restore of disgust.
"Yes," replied she ; "I recognize it."
"What persons did you visit at Caen V
'Very few ; I saw I.arne, a municipal offi
cer, and the Cure of Saint Jean."
"Did you confess In a conforming or lion
jining juicst '!"
"Neither ono nor Iho other.'1
"Siuco when had you formed ihi design ?"
"Since the 31st of May, when the deputies
of the people xvere arrested. I havo killed
one man to save a hundred thousand. 1 wan
n republican long before the Keyoluliou."
K.im hi t xv.i coufiont d xviih her
'1 only knew Fanchet by sight," said she,
disdainfully. '! look on him as a man de
void of principles; nml I despite liim."
The nectiser ieproai;!,eii her wilh having
ileall the filial stroke downward, in order to
render it inoitr certain, nnd observed that she
must doubtless have been well exercised in
crime. At this suggestion, which destroyed
till her idea", by nssimulatiiig her to professed
murderers, she littered a ciy of honor.
'Oh, the monster!" exclaimed she, i:ho
lakes me for nn assassin !'
Fouiiiier Tiuville summed up, nnd de
manded that sentence of death should be
passed.
Her defender rose. ' The accused," said
he, 'confesses her crime, she avow s ils long
premeditation, and gives the most overwhel
ming details. Citizens, this is her w hole de
fence. This importurable calm mid entire
forget fulness of self, which reveals nor re
morse in presence of death this calm, this
lortretl'ulnes''. sublime in one point of view, is
not natural: they can only be explained by
the excitement of political fatialieisui, which
placed the poinanl in her hand. It is for
you to deride what weight so stern a fannla
cim slcul l h ive in ihe balance of just ice.

The jury unanimously senleiior.1 her lo
die. She heard their verdict unmoved : and
the president haviuu' asked her if she had
any ihiie.' to ,iy relative lo the punishment
indicted on her, she made no rrpK : but

she, you have defended me ns w i!ie,l lo

j Pliable, frcimonlly. to repress his emotion, he

j man who protcMs from the bottom of his
i heart, and then sunk back, ns Ihofjh his
i
1 streiiLrlh had fai'ed him. Charlotte, iu.'e'Iisi-

ble In her own fate, perceived this iiieve-
i iiient, and coinpieheniled that, al the mo
ment when all on earth abandoned her, a l.i::
! died spirit attached itself to hers, and thai,
' ami'lM this hostile or inditferenl thronu', she
posesied an unknow n friend, and she thank

1 This young straiiuer was Adam I.nx, a
(Jernian republican, sent toPaiisby Iherevo
, liiliouisls of May ence, to conccri llie iimvo
' lnenls of flermany wilh Ihose of France, in
the common cause of human reason and the
liberty of the people. His eyes followed
Charlotte until she disappeared amidst the
tinistl'iii iH's beneath the inch of the stairs,
His thoughts never quilled her.
On her return to the Conciorgoric, which
was soon to yield her up to the scall'old,
Charlotte Cor.lay smiled on her companions
in prison, xho had ranged themselves in the
conidors and courts to see her pass. She

was neither the outpouring of weakness nor

I lt xvas addressed to Doulcet do routecou
lant, xvliom she had seen at her aunt's, and,
on xvlmm she believed she had called in vain
to be her defender. The loiter was as fol
lows :
"Doulcet do Ponlecoiilaul is a reward lo
. havo refused lo defend mo when it was so
j ea.-y. Ho who undertook il pel formed his
( w;,, a p,,;,!,. dignily, mid I shall re.
J am a .f iveollecliou of him to my last
moments."
Her indignation was unjust; the young
j Poiitecoulanl, who xvas absent fiom .Paris,
j llot ri.t.,.jv,.,i il0r i,.,u.r; l,js generosity
and courage were a sullicient guaranty that
ho would have accepted the oliice; and Char
lotto bore an enor and an injustice to the
scalfold.
The artist who had sketched Charlotte's
likeness at the tribunal, was M. Hauer, a
painter nnd otfioer of Iho National (iuaid, of
tho seel inn of the Theatre Francais. On her
return lo tho prison, cho requested the con
cierge lo alloxv him to finish his woik, and,
on his arrival Chailollo thanked liim for Iho
interest he appeared to take in her, and qui
elly Kit to him, as though, xvhilo she permit
ted him to transmit her form and features to
poMciity, she also charged him lo hand doxvn
her mind and her patriotism to unborn genera
tions She conversed with M. Hauer on his
piofexMou. the cvenls of tho day, and tho
peace lo mind she felt aftci the execution ol
her design; slut also spike of In r young
friends at Caen, and request, -d him to paint a
miniature from Ihe portrait, and send il to her
family,
Suddenly, a gentle knock was heard al the
door, and the executioner entered. Char
lolle, (inning round, -reeived llu! scissor
and red chemise he caiiiod over his arm.
"What ! already,"' exclaimed she turning
pale.
Then, recovering her composure, and glan
cing at Ihe imniiislied portrait, "Monsieour,"
said she lo llie artist, "I know not how to
thank you for ihe Iroublif you have lakeu ; I
have only Ihis lo oiler you. Keep il in mem
ory of yum- kindness and my gratitude."
As she spoke, she look th" scissors from
tho exi'i'ulioiier. iind severing a lock of her
long fair hair, gave it to Mr. Ilaner.
'Phis portrait, interrupted by death, is slill
in llie possession of Ihe family of M. Ilaner.
'I he head only xvas painted, ami ihe huM

watched llie' propaialious for llie scallold ;
xvas so sli lick with ihe sinister splendor ud
ed by the red chemise lo the beau'y of his
model, thai, ill 11 1 Clan lotto's death, he pain
led her in this costntue.
A priest, sent by ihe public accuser, pre
sented himself to olfcr the last consolations
of religion. "Thank,-' said she to Imiii, "those
who have had the attention to send you. but
I need not your ministry. The hi iod which
I have spilt, nnd my own. which I am about
to .-hod, are the only sacrifice I can oiler llie
I'.lerniii.'' The executioner llieu cut oil' her
hair, hound her hands, and put on the ilnmisr
co.k. miicic. "This," said sh ' is the toi
telle of death, arranged by somewhat mde
hands, but il lea. Is to immoilality.
She oolleol".l li'-r loic hair, h'oki , al it for
llie la si time, and L'iive it In Madame llieha rd.
As she moulded ihe fata! carl, a violeul sloim
broke over Paris, but the Ii: luiu .' and rain

xxomaii leaving iho balti. lb r hiiuds, bound
behind her back, obliged her lo hold up her
head, and this forced rigidity of the muscles
gave more lixily to her attitude, nnd si t oil
the outlines of her limine. Theii'ys of ihe
si-ttiier sou fill on lur head: and hei com

Iraiisligiired, and tto.n limn to time she
seemeil In pi.i U a glance ol i:il .itgeni e i.n
which her eye could rest. Adam Lux aw ai
led the cart at the enhance of ihe Pue St
llonore, and followid il to llie foot of the
scalloiii. lie engrax'en in ins neaii, in
iiole his oxvu words "this unutterable sw eet
ness amid the barbarous cries of the crowd,
that look so gentle, ycl pcuctiating those
vivid Hashes thill broke foilh like burning
ideas from Ihose bright eyes, in which spoke
a soul as intrepid as tender. Charming eyes,
which should have melted a stone."
Thus an enthusiastic and unearthly attach-
menl accompanied her, xvillioul her know
ledge, to the very scallold, and prepared to
follnxv her, in hope of an eternal re-union.
The carl stopped, and Charlotte, at tho sight
of the falal iutrumeul, tinned pale, but, soon
rrcoveiing herself, ascended the scaffold wilh
as light and rapid a step as the long cheuiiso
and her pinioned anus perinilled. When
tlio executioner, to baie her neck, removed
llie handkerchief that covered her bosom,
this insult to her modesty moved her more
than her impending death ; then, tinning to
ill- guillotine, sho placed herself under '.he
axe. The heavy blade fell and her head rolled
on (lie sea ffuli I. Ono of the assistants, named
Lfgros, took il in his hand and struck it on
the check, lt is said lli.it a deep crimson
stilfiision oveisprciid the face, as though dig
nily and modesly had for an instant l isted
longer even than life.
Such xvas the death of Maiat ; and such
xvas the life and death of Chailollo Coiday.
In Iho face of murder, history dares ml con.
ileum. Tho appreciation of such an net
places us in the terrible tdleruativo of bla
ming virtue or applauding nsssaseiiiiition.
Like ihe painter who, desj airingof rendering
the expression of a mingled seiilhneiil, cast a
veil over tlio face of tho figure, we must leave
this niysleiy lo be debated in the abysses of
