ATTORNEY AT LAW.
Office one door east of Kolbs Iloud, Al

Aikntown, Match t:tt.
t. stranger of great distinction, and who
had played no inconsiderable part in the
political drama of the day, has lately rent
ed to Paris, where some years siiice he
dwelt for n long time. On his first visit to
the capital, young and already famous, he
married into thea ristocracy of the Faubourg;
St. Gerinain. Tlw return of this personage
has excited thei curiosity of the Paraisian
world, joinin': it would seem, by fpnuer
cc; ntricities, and by a stringeness of char
acter which may he traced in the anecdote
now going the rounds of the tall:mongers.
The individual in question was not horn and
educated in the class where he now finds
himself placed by the right of personal mer
it. Juste id of being tempered by early
ed
ucatiun, h is d isposition, naturally violent, un
restrained and uncultivated, was rendere . d
almost un!iovernable by the habits of a life
spent amid camps. His fortune, ton, Mai
his !rreatiniss( cane to him hue; and it has
been frequently remarked that those who
obtain riches by their own tiflhrts, and in
middle life, possess a lively ; 111 (1 pow e rful
auachmerit for the wealth which long pri
vation and laborious conquest have taught
them immoderately to value.
At the tithe' of this illustrious stranger's
maw hce 'motile world of Paris,those shreWd
observers, the envious and jealous of others'
pri;siwtity, rental hed that his shining. quali
ties were darkened by two very great faults
—avarice and brutality. The la; wr of these
faults was a sad feature in his married life
awl MiF the cause of poi;nant suifering to a
wire we hr,tight up in !'.conost pol
ishe st;cietv, suria,Midi dfy ati:•cti;atate rel
atives, and accustomed to 11l the rHil:cinclitS
of aristocratic good-breeding. It teas It
Ding hviert she was made to feel the change,
Inc' the diameter of tier husband began to
display itself in the early days of her mar
ried life, and a shade of bitter to mingle with
the sWeetneS.i of the honey-moon. This;
was sad, and all the promised happiness fa
ded ;may. The union which com
tiwnced under the most favorable anspicions,
saw its charms uostroyen uy m.uriny nau
honrs more and mitre fre
quent. It required all the rare virtue of
the young wile not to sOccumb to the trials
which humi:iation, terror, injury mid nricf
compelled her to order go.
( day, after a scene of conjugal vio
lence which had occurred in the presence of
mans; witneFses, the irascible husband en
tered his own apartment, whither he was fol
lowed be an old and tried friend, who by
I is devotion and uprightness had earned the
ri;.;la in speak plainly. it right he did not
hesitate to exercise. ‘Vithout heeding the
situ onzupprcssed . he very freely com
mended on the conduct of his friend, so In
tl e becondott in a I. ! etelianan. Tit, culprit
llrieued wish a gloomy air and when the
lecture was terinitiated,;so id—

And the culprit for some moments strntle
through the apartment with rapid steps and
ioweiing brow, keeping silence, and
twict
iug in his fiugdrs a cigarette. The expres
sion of his features and the contraction of his
Ititelwad. betiayed the painful thoughts and
< ;: y comixt which were going on within ;
then, his resolution taken, he, opened a draw
er and took frent it a. bank bill for one thou
sat. I fratics. I lis frit lid looked on v, hi' as
tonishment, unable to inisgine' what ho was
about to do. Ile rolled ul) the bill, put it in
the taper, and lighted his cigar by the flame
of the precious paper. The ftiend, stool
lied at this strange iwtion, strange inn 'man
with whose excessive parsimony he was so
well acquainted, rushed towards him.
nye ine !" $lll.l the miser, with chol(-
jog voice,
-Rat, you are mad."
\o; l h 1101 V what I am doing—l am
punishing myself."
When the bill was nothing but a sin all
heap of black ashes, our hero—and he May
be called one after this action—added, in a
firm :tad solemn voice—
I swear, on My honor ,that each time I
give way to any brutality towards my
wife. I will punish myself in the most sen
sitive part—my love of money."
Thi3 chili was religiously kept. Since
that thy the miser lna strictly paid for the
brutality of the husband. After a scene of
violence lie appears before his self-appoint
ed tribunal, and submitting to the law which
he hiinself lays down, he pronounces his sen
tence whithout appeal. The condemned
opens the chsket .which contains his trea
sure. Pale and trembling with the effort
beneath which his passion bends, he *takes
a bank bill and burns it.

The expiration was always proportioned
to the offence ; he had a tariff graduated by

Opinion of G. Pageot.
M. Pageot, formerly the French Minister
in the United States in a letter orsolne length,
tells the French People, that they can have
pence, stability, order and-prosperity- only-in
•the principle of heirship" i. e. the restcrra
lion of the Bourbons.
"This principle [he says] is as indispen
sable to the perpetuity of societies as to that
of families essential to republic. The most
prosperous of all in modern times, acknow
ledges that in the preambli: of its institution.
-The people of the 'United States," it says,
“wiAing to preserve for itself and for its
prospyrUy the bone lit of liberty, decree and

ther, in its fourth article, it says :•—“The
United States guararoei.s to each State of
the Union a republican form of government."
There is a decree, he reasons, in perpetu
ity, and a decree, which imposes upon our
generation "the heir.ship" of the constitution
of a pr, ceding generation. M. Pageot
pays the United States the following hand
some compliment:

inspired with the most profound respect for
its constitution—a work, not of metaphysi
cal dreamers, but of distinguished statesmen
—of virtuous men, of devoted citizens, who
sought in the traditions of their country,
and the realties of the situation in which
they found themselves, the solutions their
citizens asked from their knowledge and ex-
perience.
They did not confound the part of the
legislators with that of innovators. They had
no substitute for the metropolitian authori
ty that of a central power which could bind
the various States of which the Union was
to be composed, and they strictly fulfilled
their task. They respected all that was
riot necessary for its accomplishment. The
poli.icial municipal, and civil institutionsof
every particular State, u ere left intact, and
it is easy to perceive that the constitution
elven by Charles the [first to the Stet.; of
Rhode Island and its colonists continued up
till these last few years. The edifice of the
American republic is the work of several
genervions. It is necessary to dig deep
tie() the soil in order to find the first founda
tion. There is the secret of its strength and
of its d !Ration. There is also a new ev 7
diurc of this truth, so much overlooked in
o ur days, that the institutions of a people,
in order to be strong, independedt and re
spected, must have their roots in the past.
The American people(let those who admire
them:for what they are not, be not displeas
ased)are a traditional people—that is to say,
they reeo t inise their ancestors, and‘rehg
ionsly respect their works. I have been.
also, able to attest their singular aptitude
fur the republican institutions, but I have,
in the same time, remarked what rendered

There is much to think of in these remarks,
and let them be weighed by oar own people.
