REWARD OF VIRTUE;
Or Blanche Raymond.
Every; natiori possekses prejudices respeet
,ing its neighbors. A prejudice is an opinion.
formo without having in the first place ac
quirdd a sufficient body of facts whereon to
forma correct judgment. The French •en
tertaln some strange prejudices respecting
the Faiglish ; they consider them tts be gen
erally a coarse, over-bearing, money-rnakin,
and il.ensual people, without taste or delicacy
; Of felling. The Etiglish, with . equal injus- •
tice and ignorance of facts, are in -the habit
of cohsideringtheFrench, universally, to be
silly,;frivolous, and deceitful, with' the addi
tional misfortune of being vett- por and yes.
t
ry idle. Anxious. to correct all su It wrong
impressions. which tend to foster national
animosities,we shall tell a little story respeet
ing a young Frenchwoman, whose character
fur industry, good sense, and benevolence,
whilst no way singular in her own country,
could not be excelled in ems.
• The- I:liine of our humble heroine was
Blanche Raymond, and her occupation was
that of a washer womau in one of the large
barges which are moored, for the convenience
of her class, within the maroin the margin •
of the Seine. At boats of e this 'kin, all the
launrdY washing of Paris is performed
—the clear water of the river as it runs I
past,_ with a piece of soap, add a mallet -to
beat the clothes, being the sole wails of pur
-1 ification. The labor is considerhble, and the I
payment for it small, yet no women are more 1
cheerful than these laundresses,. Exposed at.
All seasons to perpetual damp, which satur
ates their - ganuents, and preidaturely stiffens
their limbs, they still preserve their national
vivacity, which finds %ent in many a song ;
and, in a spirit of cordial fellowship, sympa
thise with each other in prosperity or advers
ity. Earning on an average tittle more than
two francs, or twenty -peace daily, they nev
ertheless agree to get aside rather more than'
two pence out of that sum towards a fund
for unforeseen calamities, and, above all, to
prevent any of their number, who may be
laid aside by illness, froin being reduced to
seek other relief. The greater part - of them
are married women with fatuities, .
Unromantic-as' is the occupation of these
women, yet incidents occur among them, as
in every other class ofsociety, howeverhum
ble, of the most interesting and pathetic
kind. This was well illustrated in the life of
our heroine, Blanche ltaymouti. blanche .
was no more than twenty - three years of age,
endowed with a fine open stinting counteu=
ance, great strength of body, and uncomtuon
c:everness of hand. She had lost her moth
er some time before, and being now the on
ly stay of her old blind father, a superanuat
ed laborer on the quay, she had to w Jrk dou u
le-tides for their joint support; though the
old man, by earning a few pence daily by
weaving nets, was saved the feeling of being
altogether a burden on his child.
'lnere was a nobleness in Blanche's con-
duet towards her her poor cid father, that '
mounted like a brilliant star above the ordi
nary' ci roe ins lances of her condition. After
preparing her father's breakfast, at his lodg- 1
lugs opposite the stairs in the quay leading to 1
her boat, she went down to it at 7 o'clock 1
every morning came home at noon to give !
the pour blind man his dinner, and then back
to work for the rest. of the day. Returning
at its close to her humble hearth, where
cleanliness -and comfort reigned, she would
takout her old father fur an Lour's walk on I
the uav, and keep him merry by recounting
all the gossip of the= boat ; nut forgetting the
atteMpts at flirtation carried on with herself
by certain workmen in a merino manufacto
tory, whose pressing -machine immediately
adjoined the laundress's bark, and never fail
ed, ill going to 'aud from twenty times a day,
to thug passing compliments at. the pretty
laundress. The cheerful old man would re
!
echo the lighthearted laugh with which 1
those tales were told ; but following them up
with the soberer counsels of experience over
the closing Meal of the day, then fall gently
asleep amid the cares and caresses Of the
crest dutiful of daughters. , . . '

Three years had rolled awayaince her mo
thees death, and Blanche, happily engrossed
between her occupation abroad and her filial
duties at home, had found no leisure to listen
to tales of lure, there was, however, among
the
„young merino-dressers a tall, tine, hand
some fellow, named Victor, on whose open
countenance were written dispositions corres
ponding to thoseuf his fait neighbor ; whom,
instead of annoying with idle fimiliarities,he
gradually won upon. by respectable civility
towards herself, and still more by kind

votedness to her blind father. " And why
should it, dear Blanche ?" was the . young
man's rejoinder ; " surely two oil us can do
more for his his happiness' than ne. I lust
my own father when a child, andl it will be
quite a pleasure to me to have sme.one I
can call so. In marrving'me, yo' will only
‘
give the old man the most dutiful f sons."
"Ah, but I should ( - rive myself .
ma.,,ter,
who would claim and engross the greate_st
- part of my love, for I know I should so love
you, Victor ! And if we had a family, the
poor dear old mal would come to have but
the third place in my heart, after having it
all to himself so long ! He would find it
out, blind as he is. though' he would never
complain; but it would make him miserable.'
No, nu; don't talk to me of marying as lung
as he lives, or tempt me with thoughts of a
happiness which I have quite enough to fore
go. Let poor Blanche fulfil the task G o d has
given her to perform ; and don't lure her by
your honied words to forget hUr most sacred
- 41uti' ! "
Pour Blanche might well say - she bad
enough to du to maintain her dutiful resulu-
Lion, between the gentle importunities of her
betrothed, and the general chorus of plead
ings in his favor 'among her sisterhood in the
boat, whom Victor s good lookg and good
behaviour had converted into stanch ahies,
and who could nut conceive it possible to re
sist so handsome and su constant a lover.—
Borne down by - their homely remonstrances,
.which agreed but too well with her own in
ternal feeling's, Blanche came at length to
confess that if she had wherewithal to set up
a finishing establishment of her own, where
she could preside over her business w;thout
losing sight of her ft:they% she would at once
merry Victor. But the capita: required fur
its fitting up was at least 5006 or 6000 francs,
and where was such a sum to be gut, or how
Saved out of her scanty wages 1 Victor, how
ever, caught eagerly at the promise, and nev
er lost Sight of the hope it held out of attain
tug darling object.
He was able to fire francs a day, and
had laid by something ; and the master whom'
he had served for ten years, and who expres
sed a great regard for him, would,
_perhaps,
advance part of the sum. Theti, again, the
good women of the boat, whose united year
ly deposits atnountvi to upwards of 9000
traut., kindly expressed their willingness to
advance out of their sitving,s the needful for
the marriage of the two lovers. But Blanche
whilst over flowing with "gratitude 'for the
generous offer, persisted in her resolution not
to marry till their own joint earnings should
enable her to set up a laundry.
• That she worked the harder, and saNad
the harder to bring this about, may easily be
believed. But the race is not always to the
swift; and the desired event was thrown
hack by a new calamity, which Well nigh
'dasK-il her hopes to the ground. Her old
father.wh o had been subjected fur fifty years
of a laborious life to the damps of the rkler,
was - seized with. an at tack of "rheumatic ;cwt,
'-whicii rendered him completely helpless, by
depriving him of - the use of his limbs. •
Here was an end at once to all his.remain
ing sources of amusement and occupation—
it might be said, to his very animated exist-
'ence ; for he was reduced to : an automaton,':,
moveable only at the will, and by the helpl
of others. He had nut o!:ly to be dressed
and fed like a new-born infant,-but to be kept
from bruodingover his state of anticipated
death by cheerful conversation,by news from
the armies, by words of consolation and read
ing
mute precious still,in all of which Blanche
was fortunately an adept. The old man now
remained in bed till nine, when Blanche reg,
ularly left the boat, took him up, set him in
his old arm chair, gave him his breakfast,
and snatching a crust of bread for herself,
ran back to s lier work till 2 o'clock ; then she
might be seen climbing up the lung steps,
and running breathless with haste to' cheer
and comfort the old man with the meal of
warm soup, so dear to a Frenchman's . heart.
Unwilling as she was to leave him, his very
I necessities kept her at wink till a late hour,
I when, with her hard won earnings in her
hand, she would seek her infirm charge, and
fall on a thousand devices to amuse and cunt
sole him, till sleep stole atlength on eyelids
I long strangers to the light of day.
One morning, on coming home as usual
Blanche found .her dear invalid already up
and dressed, and seated in• his elbow chair;
..and on inquiring to whom she was indebted
fur so pleasing a surprise, the old man with
an odd look said he was sworn to secrecy.
But his daughter was not long in learning
that it: was her betrothed, who happy thus to
anticipate her. wishes and cares, had prevail
ed on his master to alter his own breakfast
hour, so as to enable him to devote a great
part of it to this pious office. Straight to
her heart as this considerate kindness went,
it fell short of what she experiencd when, on

struggles of the poor workihg, girl to with
stand at once a father and a lover ! to set at
nought, for the first time, an authority never '
before disputed, and defy the power of a love
so deeply founded on gratitude. In spite of
them - all, filial duty still came offconqueror.
Blanche summoned all the energies of a tru
ly* heroic mind, to declare that not even the
happiness of belonging
tolhe very best man
she had ever heard of in her life, could induce
her to sacrifice the tender ties of nature.—
The more her father's infirmities increased,
the more dependent he would become on his
daughter: What t 6 her was a pleasure,
could, she argued toliim be inly a burden
•..time and painful task; in a word, her reso-.
lution was not to be shaken. Victor was
therefore obliged to submit, even then when
(from a delicacy which -would but incur obli
gations on which claims might be founded,
too difficult, if not, impossible to 'resist)
Blanche insisted on . defraying, from her own
resources. the expense 'of the medicated baths
thus puttinfr more hopelessly far ofl thin ev
er the long deferred wedding.
She had not the• heart, however, to deny
yietor the privilege of puting the patient
into the healing waters; which seemed daily
to Mitigate his pains, and lend his limbs
more agility. While her father was at the
worst, Blanche had been obliged altogether
to forego the river and obtain from her em
ployer permission to do what she could in
the way of her vocation at home. But whern,•
on his amendment, she resumed her out-of
door labor, a circumstance occurred so very
honorable to the class of workwomen we are .
commemorating. to their mutual attachment
and boneet feelimzs of benevolence, that to
leave it untold would be doing them and the
subject great injustice. "
With the motives for enhanced industry
which Blanche had to spur her on, that she
should be first at the opening of the boat,
with her daily lot of allotted labor, will he
little matter of surprise: or that her good
natured compitnions knowing the necessity
for exertion on her part:should abstain from
wasting her precious lime by any of their ht
tle tricks and gossip. But one morning,
when, from her father having been ill at
night, she had arrived at work unusually
late and had consequently, when the hour of
noon struck, left the greater part of-her task
(which had often detained her till night set
in) unfinished, it was nevertheless accom
asif,by magic.withimthe usual ti m e
AA her days work iriiiead of being dimin
ished rather,inereased.
Next day, and the next, their amount was
the same, till the grateful girl, suspecting to
what she owed so unforseen a result, and con-
cealing herself behind the parapet of the
quay. ascertained, by ()miler demonstration,
that during her necessary absence, her piece
was regularly occupied by one or other of
her neighbors, who took it in trim to give up
clip hour of rest, that- poor Blanche might
he no loser by her filial duty, as not one of
these worthy women would forego her share I
in this token of goodwill to the best and
most respected of daughters.
Blanche though affected and flattered,. as
may well be believed, by this novel sort of
contribution, was led, by a . delicacy of feeling
' beyond her station, to seemien e• orant of it,
till the additional funds thus procured had
enabled her to effect. the complete cure of her
father, whom she then informed of the means
by which it had been purchased. and eagerly
led the recruited it,valid to reward, better
than she could do, her ffenermiii companions.
Amid the hand shaking and congratula
tions which marked this happy meeting Vic
tor, we may he sine, was not behind-hand t
only, lie managed to 'whisper, amid the gen
eral tide of jOy, "Am I to he the only one
you have not made happy to-day r' Too
much agitated to reply, Blanche only held
the faster to her father's arm.
Among the laundresses of the barges there
is a custom of choosing annualy one of their
number, whom they style their queen tc 4 pre-
side over their festivities, and decide disputed ‘,
points in the community. Mid-Lent the,
the queen of the boat
season fur appointing
.arrived, and Blanche was duly elected at the
fete always given on the occasion. The boat
was pity dressed i ap with. ship's colors, and
a profusion of eatlly spring' flowers ; and all
were as happy as possible. -
In England, on theioccasion of any appointment
like that with. which Blanche was. endowed, there
would be no kind of ceremony, and no ornaments
would be einployedi but 'it' is doubtful whether
we are any the better for-thus despising.a tasteful
and joyous way of performing a gracious„and useful
public act. Be this as it' may. the barge of. the
laundress was as we have raid, gaily decOrated and
there was to
be a species of 'ceremonial at the in
stalatioo,of Blanche.
What a happy moment it was for the good
daughter—how much more happy for the aged fa
ther of such a daughter. Old Raymond, firmer on
his 'hubs than ever, led .on his blushing , daughter,
and had the Welcome office assigned hirtiof phieing

.
Aslinut ofjoy burst from all around and that
which followed may be left to the imagination:
will suffice t 6 state that Blanche, simple and n4l-_
est as ever, could sca , cely believe in the honor slit;
so unexpectedly received; while her surrounding
companions derived from it she lesson, that the
filial piety so decidedly inculcated and rewards 41.
by Heaven. and equally admirable in its effects_ in
the cottage and the palace, does .not always go
