tain a humble post in the office of the pieces accusairtces. This office was the general depot for all theJiets of the accused, of all the individual notes, of all the denunciations, of all the 'orders for tarests, which would serve as materials for proofs of pretexts to accusing partiei for trials. One fine morning the Dersons employed in this office, observed a new colleague who was very Tar from resembling Mdlle. Lange. He istyled himself James ; but he appeared so young and so little that his comrades im mediately altered his cognomen to Jimmy. The noxt day, upon the order of the rep resentatives Couthonand Collot, a new clerk was received in the office of the arraigned, whom Jimmy saw with great regret take his — station - n - ear - r - him •; he was a man who took good deal of pains to appear terrible—an hon est man whom. you already know—the actor Labussiere. From this moment Labussiere and Jim- my divided with each other, but unknown to each other, the honors and perils of a noble devotion ; the question now with each was," how many lists of accused persons they could abstract ; how to find the best way for diverting the vigilance of the agents em ployod to find evidence, and to watch over the progress of affairs ; to fumble secretly in the drawers, to withdraw or deface the war rants, in one word to abridge the task of the revolutionary tribunal. The lists disappeared so fast and the ac cusations proceeded so slowly, that Fouquier Tinville complained officially of the royal ists and aristocrats who composed the of fice of the arraigned. When the public ac cuser thus expressed himself, in a volley of raking shot; there had been already eight hundred warrants lost ! Unfortunately,Labussiere and Jimmy were in each others way, in their secret research es ; they mistrusted each other ; they were astonished at that strange zeal which tied each one to his papers, at hours when the rest had not yet• come, or had already departed. This natural, legitimate, inevitable mistrust, cost the lives of many of the suspected and innocent, doubtless. More than once Jimmy was tempted to ask of Labussiere : "Why do you come to your work almos before day ? "Why do you not stop working until night? "Is it because you do not sleep ? that you do not eat? "What do you put in your drawer under key, "while seeming' to watch your neigh bor's eye ? "What do those little paper balls mean which you slip in your pockets ?" Labussiere might have put the sante questions to his companion on equally strong grounds. One Sunday morning two persons were seated on the banks of a stream very near the Vigier baths, each believed himself quite alone, quite invisible and each drew from his pocket, rolls of paper which he dropped carelessly in the water in order to 'separate the parts, which he immediately tore to pie ces and threw them into the current.— They were our heroes of devotion. • At last Jimmy who was hidden from view by a quantity of clothes hung up to dry, per ceived his comrade, his suspicious neighbor of the office. He began to be anxious—he trembled—he was afraid ! but he resumed his composure almost immediately; an idea, a suspicion, a presentment, a secret hope re stored all his courage; he rushed towards Labussiere who in his turn began to grow pale and to tremble. "Friend !" exclaimed Jimmy in a trem ulous tone, -"I do not know whether I am awake or sleep. It seems as if I had just bat a beautiful dream. You are an honest man I" "And n good patriot," whispered Labus siere, who was still trembling. There was a moment of silence. "Friend !" resumed Jimmy, the re are per haps only we two in France, who possess our courage in maintaining our opinions—What do you say of it ?" "I say," murmured Labussiere, "that my opinions.are known—." "You lie !" interrupted Jimmy, "and may no good come to you for it. No, no, nobody knows you, thank God ! You are a base hy. 'merit, an infidel follower, a most ungrateful servant, the most skilful aristocrat I ever knew. You are an admirable man !" . This speech which was commenced with such harsh terms, fell upon the unfortunate Labussiere with a tremendous shock ; he reeled like a drunken man; he laughed and cried et , the same time ; he looked with an inquiriug air at Jimmy, then raid with a voice chOked with sobs : "If you think me right, let us embrace— If you deceive me, crush me." The new-made friends then • embraced each other. • Come, has there been a good morning's work? how many proscribed ? how many heads 1 asked Jimmy of Labussiere. • "I have saved fifty suspected, ones, this ,morning- r and among them, somecomrades, some very dear friends, the actors at the Co medic) Fmncaiae. There they have been for a quarter of an hour, on those little bits of paper, all along, along, along the river, along the river!' Labussiere,*hile humming this refrain, laughed and skipped about like a child." "Are your pockets empty ? said Jimmy, "have you given to your poor multitude, the clue of the field--I mean of the water !" "Yea." . "My pockets are still full, I lattite got there men, women and children. Come and help me embark them." "Embark them 1" "On the Seine put them in the hands of God." .Both kneeled again on the bank of the riv er. Jimmy emptied his pockets, and then they tore the lists of five or six proscribed families to pieces --the water carried away the red paper - of Collot d' Herbois. aNim that I have doubtless saved all my companions of the Comedie Prancaise" said Labussiere on leaving his associate, "I am quite at the service of your comrades and friends. "I had made up my mind this morn- ,_ ing, to give up my place in the office of Cor respondence: but I ask nothing better than to keep it, if you are in need of an accomplice to do good. ..Listen," replied Jimmy : there is in the same prison with the artists of the Theatre Francais, the Madelonnettes, an aristocrat whom the axe has threatened for a longtime; I mean Monsieur de Crosne. I have search ed in vain—l have not as yet found the war rant against the late Lieutenant of police. But ! I must at any price save his life ; I have promised ] it to my conscience, to my heart, and I ani in need of your courage, your devotion in order to accomplish my promise. All of humanity for me is centered in one single name—Monsieur de Crosne: Mon sieur—de Crf- - R - , nber 'his de Crosne! .emembW• this person, remember this name, and may God help you !" Labussiere was more fortunate than James; he had saved his fellow actors; while ;Mlle. Lange never rescued Monsieur de Crosne. On the 27th day of April 1794, Monsieur de Crosne perceived on his waking up,in the morning, in the middle of. his room, a sort of projectile which had been thrown quite skil fully through the bars of the grating. The . prisoner picked the object up, which was merely a decline, (a coin worth nearly two cents,) unfolded the piece of paper which enveloped it, and read with a - vivid emotion the following lines : "God does not favor my devotion ; you are .to die r chance alone has aided me in spar ing you from an exceedingly great misery; in vainly attempting to save you, I have saved your mother. "Farewell until our next meeting, m lord ! I say until our next meeting, because. the other world doubtless is not made for nothing. "LANGE." A few hours later, Monsieur de Crosne who was playing at back-gammon with Monsieur de la Tour du Pin, heard a well known voice whose . echo resounded with his name throughout the prison; the criminal replied from the distance to this fearful voice which caused all his companions in captivity to tremble : am ready !" he said. lle laughed with Fleury ; he played with - Four du Pin ; he thought of his poor mother; he addressed a compliment toMdlle. Contat., he regretted the mysterious love of Mdlle. Lange, but he was ready to die ! "GOod bye, gentlemen !" said he to his friends, saluting them with the lofty dignity of parliamentary politeness; -I thank .you for your entertainment and your kind cares. They soothed my last- moments. I remem ber having formerly been instrumental in the • reinstating of Cates, and now I am to die on a scaffoldll shall certainly astonish M. de Voltaire !" Meanwhile,'• notwithstanding his strength and courage, Monsieur de Crosne wanted to take every precaution against the weakness of the physical man.. He asked for a cup of coffee and a piece of bread, so much did he fear that hie resolution might waver, either through his body, or some infirmity of flesh. Yet the revolution rendered the cowardly and the weak courageous ; those who had not sufficient firmness to acquire the art of living well, did not lack dignity and boldness at the moment of dying. Children no longer were young, maidens no longer timid, wo men no longer week. When it was neces sary to mount the revolutionary scaffold, a secreLenthusiasm dispelled all the terrors of humanity; victims died laughing, singing and exclaiming. "Hurrah for France !" If Monsieur de Crosne had felt the need of firmness, this peculiarity of the revolution no doubt would have reached him. After the players who had been forgotten by the revolutionary tribunal, thanks to the loss'of their accusations, had left their prison, Vanhove went to Mdlle. Lange and present ed to her a precious legacy, a keepsake from Monsieur de Crosne. It was a watch rich ly adorned with pearls, and in the case which contained it, a little note addressed by the late lieutenant of police to the actress. Strange to say, though about to die on a gallows, Monsieur de Crosne played with a weed, a name, an accent in the following madrigal, which was the substance of the note : Allow me with my pen's point to arrange, Your name which was before illy conceived So that I better may adore her, l'ange:' ' Who'll cherish in her heart my name ag grieved. From that moment Mdlle. Lange wrote her name with an accent, thus l'Ange (which denotes as above, the Rngel.) •The Angel. We have further advice!' from Oregon, al though the dates are no later. Precisely the same state of things as in California. Every thing is extremely high in price. labor being highest and very difficult to . procure. The Oregonians who went. to California were generally, returning very rich, and it is also said that many of the California em igrants had boUght land in Oregon, and were about to emigrate thither, as soon as they procured enough of the precious dust of the Sacramento valley. That extensive country is filling rapidly, and a government has been tranquilly organ ised, and is passing wholesome laws for the welfare of the new territory. The Legisla ture has passed a law establishing a mint. a measure exclusively belonging to Congress. but will be considered as recommendatory.

Kli"We call the attention of our readers to the historical memoir of the French Revolution which appears in our paper this week; its in- tere - st - nren -- wohitblyhanced by the knowl edge that all its incidents are strictly true. Our Borough We are glad to see that our citizens are mov ing in the proper manner and with the right spirit in regard to the cleanliness and purifica tion of our pleasant and flourishing Borough. They are acting on the wise maxim that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. During the last week a large number of our good people have been engaged in clean ing out cellars, alleys, back=yards : &c., and white-washing walls, fences and back-build ings; all of which must have a most salutary effect upon the health of the community; and if citizens and house-keepers generally would attend to the recommendations of our Borough authorities, we would be competitively- secure from the ravages of any epidemic that may ex ist in the country. Indeed cleanliness is the surest and best preventive, and the only cost is a little labor, which, in itself, would be of great benefit to persons who are not in the habit of injuring themselves at hard work. So far our citizens deserve great credit for the manner in which they have responded to our recommen dations, and the authorities of the Borough, and we hope the good work will continue. New Jersey Central Railroad. From the Easton Sentinel, we learn that the President and Chief Engineer of this New Jer sey Central Railroad— which commences at Elizabethtown and ends at Easton—with sortie of the Managers were at that place last week, they have examined the proposed routes from the White House to Easton. As.soon as the route will be definitely settled upon, which will be in a very short time; .the road will be put un der contract. The projectors of this road will not be content to stop here. They very well knew, that without a connection with the great Anthracite Coal mines, their road with the transportation of passengers, and the Agricul tural productions of the,section through which it runs, will not yield a sufficient revenue to make the stock a profitable . one, consequently we can rest assured that the road from Easton via Allentown to the Lehigh and Schuylkill Coal regions, will be built, probably at no dis tant time. Sectional pride we trust, will lend us a helping hand, and when the proper time arrives, and the balance of the "Delaware, Le high, Schuylkill and Susquehanna Railroad" stock is offered for sale, every Farmer, Mer chant and Mechanic, will find himself suffici ently interested, to take at least one, if not a dozen shares, whickfwill go far in furthering the building of this road. The Board of Directorsof the Belvidere, Del aware Railroad, met at Bordentown, on the 19th instant, to take order, fur letting the first 16 miles of the road from Trenton to Lamberts villa. This road connects with the Central road at Easton, and opens a communication, both to Philadelphia and ,New York markets, either of which could be reached in three hours.— Farmers 1 See the great advantage of a Rail road communication. A Railroad to Allentown would enhance the value of every acre of land iu Lehigh county, from five to ten dollars. Election of Judges, In another column of to-days paper our read ers will find the "resolution" of the late Legis lature, providing for the election of Judges by the people. As many of our readers may not be aware, bow a ellen° in the Constitution of Pennsylvania can.be °fleeted, we will briefly state: that, after the requisite notice of the pro posed change is published; and the legislature next afterwards chosen, such proposed amend ment or amendments shall be agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each house, the same 'shall again •be published, and the proposed amendment or amendments shall be submitted to the people in such manner and at least three months after being So agreed to by the two Houses, as the legislature shall pre scribe; and if the people shall approve and ra tify such amendment or adendments shall be come a part of the Constitution, but no amend ments shall be submitted to the people oftener than once in five years:. provided, that if more than one amendment be submitted, they shall be in such manner and form, that the people may vote for or against each amendment sep prately and distinctly. The 'resolution proposes that the Judges of the Supreme Court shah be eleotedby the qual ified wears of the COmmonwealth at large • the President Judges of the several Courts of Gno mon Pleas, by the qualified voters of the re spective districts, over which they are to pre side or am aslidges ; and tbeAssoolateJudges of the Courts of Commottlfise, the quaff.' fled °teeters of the ganeties respectively.

Most of them are _prlparing to go"rart, '6; .;. • ° •f' t • v.,: Dr. Lambert's Leotures. Leading from the veins to the arteries, there ate an infinite number of small blood vessels called; from their resemblance to a hair, capil laries; and there is scarcely no part of the bo dy which it punctered by a pin or needle, will not exhibit their presence by a drop of blood. These vessels serve as communications be tween the veins and arteries. When any por tion of the body bears a deep tinge of red, these vessels in that 'part are well filled; but when the skin is pallid, it is because the blood has retreated within the veins and arteries. When a person is in good health these little tubes are kept full with their sanguine fluid : the skin appears fresh, more or less inclined to a reddish tinge ; tho eyes are clear, and the circulation of the system ig complete in all its parts. The main object of hygeia or health is to preserve or restore this eqanimity of the sys tem. Thus inflamation or congestiori of the lungs, proceeds from the hood which should be circulating in other parts of the body, con centrating itself about those organs, go that they cannot perform their proper functions. The same is the case with inilaination or congestion in any other part of the system. When the stomach is deranged in its operation, those jui ces which form the blood are so vitiated in their quality, or they are produced so irregularly, that the nerves are affected and convey their sensations to the brain which makes its com plaints in the form of headaches, colds, indi gestion, &c. AU food taken in the stomach is immediate ly acted upon by the different organs in intim ate connection therewith, and such portion as can be, is converted into blood; and that par: unfit for that purpose is passed off by the alim entary canal. But though the blood is now formed, it is not free from impurities; the lungs and the skin sdrve to carry off its impurities. The blood after its formation from chyle, pro ceeds to the heart and thence to the lungs. These last organs are interlaced with an infin ity of vessels around its air-tubes in order that the air we breathe may give its influence to the blood. Every inspiration taken . in the lungs imparts its oxygen to the blood, and receives from the latter certain impurities which are ex pelled by its expirations. The blood in itsfur ther passage through its vessels emits still more impurities through the pores of the skin; this process is thus continued during life. These remarks probably are sufficient to introduce two things which we consider as most import ent preventatives of disease and conservatives of health, viz: pure air and bathing. We will first treat on the subject of air: The lurgs are a very delicate apparatus and require the purest air for their cells. Though they have'the faculty of rejecting much that is unfit for their use, they are invariably injured by exposure to an impure atmosphere; and these occasions of exposure happen oftener than most people suspect. The purest air is found out of doors, in elevated places. When ever in Summer time a pool of stagnant water stands for a considerable time, the air around it is vitiated; and if it be near a dwelling, its inhabitants must suffer. We have frequently observed this:summer in the country, such pools close to the farmers' dwellings, and we can aver that if the occupants of these houses, the women particularly who inhale most frequent ly the noxious vapours generated by these pud dles, were not ill, they would be in some time or other from this cause. All decaying substances whether animal or vegetable should be remov ed from the vicinity of man's residence, if he cares to live healthily. Close rooms contain bad air. All the rooms of a house should be thor oughly ventilated every day, whether occupied or not. Bed chambers should receive especial attention. One or two persons sleeping in a room with closed doors and windows, in one night poison the air enough almost to cause an attack of the cholera to a weakly individual, and will cause an attack of some kind, if the practice is continued. It is a generally con ceived opinion, that to sleep with a window open in cool•weather, is hurtful; but the reverse is the true theory. There is no possible dan ger from sleeping with an open window, pro vided a current of air is not allowed to strike the body. , But some will object that if their window's are open they will sleep too cold.—• If in such a case you are cold put more clothes on your bed, but do not put your _head under them: Let your mouth and nostrils inhale the freshest air they can find. If at first it seems to disagree nub you, do not give up but per severe, and out word for it, ere long your lungs receiving a purer article of fuel then odinary, will increase the procekof combustion that is continually going on in your bodies, and con -1 sequently more heat be emitted than when you were accustomed to a different plan. Diseases 'are often generated by attendance, at churches, or other public) meetings, that are crowded, and poorly supplied with proper air. George Combo the phrenologist, when deliver ing his !emigres in this country, was so well aware of 'this fact, that in the coldest winter weather, be would cause the windows of the lecture room to be opened two or three times an evening: Public speakers and those who have the charge of pnblio rooms are often de plorably ignorant on this subject. In winter we are apt to minds the air under the pre tence of keeping warm. But if heat is to be obtained at the expense of our lungs' proper food, a simple role of arithmetic tells us that the loss will be equal to the gain. Sick chambers require the same care that we have stated for other apartments. The body of a sick person throws off much more noxious vapour than that of a healthy individual, and if there is any riff tereice in the wants of the two, the former re- Wm the best atmosphere, instead of that ("barged with the fumes of medicines and ex halations from the body.

Even if it he but4or an hour or two's breathing of this vicious agent, a cause of malady has been planted. L. Dr. Lambert illustrated the noxious quality of air given from the lunge by expiration, bje . an experiment. life took a glass jar open at b4th ends, one of which he placed in a pail of vik ter; then placing his mouth at the other end he exhausted all of the air in the jar and breath-c, ed his own in This done, ho took a lighted match' and placed , it quickly in the jar; it went out in a second or less of time. Before doing this he had put a lighted match in the jar be- fore the good air was exhausted, and it burned freely of worse.

We understand the gentlemen have visited Doy lestown, Easton and Bethlehem, and thus far have been very successful in disposing of the stock. They Lave left yesterday for Mauch Chunk, and Wilkesbarre. The amount of stock they calculated disposing of at Allentown, is 4,000, and is nearly all taken, a few shares remaining to be sold. The books are placed into the hands of Col. Jonathan Cook, who will be happy to receive the additiOnal subsciptions. We are now in a fair way of communicating to our readers the news by "lightning speed." This is an important improvement and should be generally encouraged. Pursuant to previous notice, the citizens met at the Court House, in Allentown, to adopt some measures to testify their respect for the memo ry of His Excellency James K. Polk, Ex-Presi dent of the United States, whose untimely death has cast such a deep gloom over this nation. After the meeting was duly organized the following officers were appointed: Hon. SAM. A.
