Mr. Editor : As all eyes are now turned
on t rance, and great surprise and regret
jVlt at t!ie apparently quiet satisfaction
vith which the usurpation of Louis is
fubmiUcd to, your readers way be pleased
to see some glimpses of the probable cause
jf this quiescence.
It may, I think, be found in tie terrible
miseries which the French have endured
during struggles for power between differ
ent political parties, aud the conviction
tint the security of lite ana property is
cheaply purchased by submitting to any
government, if t only be supreme auu
Ai u resisted.
During " the horrid civil commotions
which iu Frauce have been called " Kevo-
1 ut ions," he nation became one frightful
nine of butchery and ravening. The
,.pcrat ives left thcir.shi.ps to rave in "clubs,"
and by degrees factories were closed, shops
alaii.loued, the Gelds neglected, commerce
cased, and tnuliey disapeured. Of course,
, uipl-yeis had no longer business, aud la
bo.vis" no wore wages. Capital, iu the
f ..in ni public cd.liecs, c, was destroyed
to an enormous extent, aud the whole
country fell into tauut poverty. Then
came pluud-r, of course, aud equally, of
course, murder. Houses, barns, stacks of
grain, &c, were burnt in the hellish
animosity of contending factions.
The State gained nothing by the people's
losses. Coutiscatious reached not the pub
lic treasury, but were squandered amoug
greedy aud unscrupulous officials. Tue
city of Bordeaux was too poor to continue
the lighting of street lamps. A document
recently found in the archives of that city
tliows that its treasury was not able, iu
Siyt., 1T'J4, to pay a bill of 72 francs for
w:.sinii" the uuiliotiue :

was accomplished upon the ruins
lot twenty:
cities and eighteen hundred villages
reduced to ashes. What thall be said of
the barbarity of that General who adorned
the walls of his chamber with human ears,
for which he paid his soldiers twenty
iivres a pair, and presented to a deputy for
his reimbursement a bill for 800 francs?
What :4iall be said of the statement by
lVu-ihuiiiuia iu relating the circumstances
of the feaat celebrated iu the garden of the
Tuiihricn, Juue 10, 1794, that some of
the deputies wore pantaloons made of
humau skins? It issustaiued bydiflerent
authorities that a tnnnerif of such skins
was established at Mendou, and they were
fir biudiui; books, as well as for
- - j .
other purposes.
" When the Bastile was made an object
of revolutionary vengeaiice, it was found
in fact to coutaiu ouly seven prisoners, of
whom not one was a state prisoner. In
three years afterward, I'aris alone con
tained thirty-six vast plaots of confinement,
brides uiuetv-six smaller ones. The sup
plementary prisons being suddenly formed
out of hotels, convents, and colleges.
It is a mistake to suppose that tbe
revolution put to death only nobles and
priests. In one of the principalities an
hundred and twenty ragpickers were
guillotined in two days. Indeed it will be
found that the guillotine was fed especially
by the laboring classes ; and that twenty
workingmcu perished for one priest or one
nobleman. A classification made by Prud
homme, who was a friend of Danton,
shows, out of a list of some twelve thousand
persons thus put to death, that for 767
priests and 639 nobles, ('emigrants,')
there ware 71S women and SS371 peasants,
laborers and ploughmen."

The ixe and the Saw.
Early one spring morning, when the
sun had scarcely melted the hoar frost
from the brown face of the wrinkled earth,
an old axe happened to lull ia with a saw.
I here was a cutting air" abroad that
threatened the newly shaven chin with
chaps 1
" Ah! my old blade!" ssid the Ate,
"how goes it with you T I came purposely
to see how you do.''
I really leel much obliged to you,' j
said lhe Saw, "but am sorry to say that

HELEN CONWAY.
Once I found myself in a large boarding
school. Around me were gathered more
than a hundred young girls, many of
whom were of my own age. I had been
placed there for other purposes than for
listening, or gazing ; the happy creatures
were my companions some of them, dear
friends whom I love to this day, though
many years have elapsed since I parted
from them, and some cf the best and
dearest of them are separated from me by
pathless seas. I was very young when I
was placed in their midst, and was hun
dreds of miles from the home of my
childhood ; it was not strange, then, that I
was lonely, and sick-hearted, for tasks
wre set me which frightened and discour
aged. I thought that in ail that assembly
no kindly beawin eve" full on the little
stranger, to cheer her with hopes of hap-i
pines, in the future. All around me were
hastily intent on arrangements for them-1

She was the only daughter of an English
gentleman of great reputed wealth, aud she
had but ono brother, who was, in every

tainly, they were a singularly happy family.
The summer term pas.d quickly away,
and w.t were busv in our tircDarations for
,e annUal examination, wheu Helen was
.nmone(l to attend the death-bed of her
father. We heard from her through her
i-tr. t one of the teachers. Her tath -
er'a illness had been partly the result of .
his anxiety on learning the loss of his
landed property, and on his decease, his
m . .!
wtole estate was learned to D insolvent.
Helen was therefore nnabb to return to
chool: she was resolved hencefortlv to
sustaia herself, and for that purpose must

aJn I learned that Helen Conway, tho'
again, jearueu a
mnoh aursinst her brotber s wisnes, nan
supply henetf with i
)iKlf with tbe mc-Mrf finishing
her education. To her brother's expostu
lations, she had replied:
"It is no disgraceful thing which I
would do, Philip, but one most honorable.
I would not make such employment a mat
ter of choice, nor would I, perhaps, seek
such companions as may surround me, but
at the worst, the employment will not de
grade me, nor the associates contaminate,
aud I shall have the satisfaction of know
ing that I have not fettered you, my dear
Philip, in the course you have adopted
for impeded you would be by the mainte
nance of an indolent and helpless girL
With what astonishment was this intel
ligence received by Helen's former school
mates! Her mild dignity had gained for
her the respect of all, her rare intellectual
tualities had commanded it, and her amia
ble dispositon had won even the most
thoughtless; and when these had failed,
the knowledge of her father's wealth had
been sufficient to gain an acknowledgment
of her superiority. What was she now 7
