thick with gun barrels, like the pipes of

army wagons around the sentried doors;
the clank of spur and sabre upon the

astonishment-proof, and coolly pass, as if

Here is the most beautiful engine you
ever saw; with its gleaming brass and
steel, a piece of fine jewelry, and with its
lungs and sinews of two hundred hbrscs,

The Charge of the Fifty fourth
BY GEORGE LANSING TAYLOR
All day en IVagner's ramparts fell
The tempest of our shot and shell
From iron totrem of iron ships, -
From many a mortar's flaunting lips,
From ponderous guns, on sea and land,
Till Wagner lay a heap of sand.
But still, 'mid evening's shades and dew,
The trait,r's standard Il tuntlng flew;
His cannon all that day had slept,
And still their reunions silence kept,
And stillness ff..) at eve again
O'er friend and foe, o'er earth and main.
Then come the order: "Arm and form:"
"Assault the earthwork !" , -Charge and storm'
And soon a bold tind,railont bond
Fped swift along the silent strand ;
And in the Can, though worn and spent,
Marched proudly the Block Regiment,
But as they trod the gloom profound
The wary Inenien edo.4ht the sound.
And all their pent and plotted ire
Burst instant to a storm of tire,
And titi4.ll th it :Lore the grape and shell

The man/facture of paper for the flu
Lional currency has been a matter of long
and scientific x.periment, conducted by
NI r. Clark himself, experiment that
has, at last, be n crowned with signal tri

task-master impatiently relieves 1110 from
duty, and gives the note precisely such an
application of suds and friction as Bridg_

note comes out of the bath as beautiful
as ever, and placed for a moment bet \Veen
two pieces of paper, is produced as dry
as ono of the jokes of the little-logged
clerk of the Ind an !louse—Charles Lamb
The paper is positively insoluble either in
hot or cold water, and never again can,
be reduced to a pulp. It is as touglppi

ment, grows thick along'the way.
Taking a gee° of the new paper and
holding it up to a strong light, you shall
-see faint yellow fibres hidden in the body
of the fabric, and running like threads of
fine nerves in every direction. Behold
in them the silent but masterly detec
tives, for when that fragment of paper
has kissed the plate of steel, and has at
tained, perhaps, so great a value that a
hand's breadth of it will cover a vast
es
tate, and the wicked photographer tries
his art upon it, out come the cunning
devie:?s of the engraver, and the faces of
statesmen, and out, by the same sign,
come the faint yellow fibres that lie under
the surface, but us black as the crime?—
All over exquisite vignette and rich me
dallion, those inky spider legs twist and
sprawl and everything but crawl ; it is
like a beautiful face seen tCrough the
tatters of a black lace veil, and the coun

own making: is undoubted heir to a leg

iT iz the paper mill, it is a mater of
course that you should be next dour to an
Ink-Will, and ;I , you are. In one corner
of this apartment is a little engine, ap
parently from the Shetland Islands, that
received its birth and education within
these walls. This engine plays miller to
the parti-colored grists. Five iron fel
lows, resembling overgrown coffee
stand m a row, grin ling the constituents
for ioks of seven tints. Four or five wen,
colored like Joseph's coat, plunging, two
listed and bare armed int t masses of black
and green dough, and kneading for dear
life, it all looks like the devil's baking

And now you enter a spacious room, as

house, and an air of calm Germanic stu

They are unfit to associate with civil so
ciety, and we suffer by being placed in
contact with them; and while being o
bliged to endure their presence, we con
sole ourselves wit the thought that they
are only " necsessary evils," and are perhaps
placed in our, midst, by our Creator for
some wise' purpose : possit ly to prevent
us from becoming too supremely happy,
and they are -sent as a sort of check on
our desires and indulgences. But why
do boorish men engage in u buSiness which,
to follow With an idea to profit, reguires
the most unremitting attention and polite

retail business are perfect " bulls in a 'Al

to treat their patrons with common polite

everything they happen to price or exam

countryman
"You had better go, then, where you
oan be better suited."
"I eau do all that," was the spirited
reply, and lam sure I cannot come a
cross a more ill•mannered dog than you
are in the whole city "
Whether the man had been sorely tried
by the departed customer I know not;
but I certainly thought that scarcely any
thing a customer could do or say could
warrant such a rude speech from a shop
keeper who wished to retain a respectable
patronage. I half hesitated to deal with
the man myself; but, as he had already
handed me a pair of gaiters to try on, I
could not refuse to do so. I tried to get
my foot into the shoe, but could not; the
gaiter was too narrow, or my foot was too
wide. I stated to him the difficulty, and
he handed me another pair. The result
was the same. I plainly saw the fellow
w w getting impatient; his face betrayed
that much. He handed me a pair of No.
9 shoes. I had asked for sevens, and
could wear sixes. I quietly returned the
No. 9's without trying them on.
"You haven't tried that pair," observ
he.
" on
"No sir," replied I; " I. wear No. Ts."
He blushed a trifle at my quietrebulte,
and handed me the number I asked for.
which pair I finally got on. When I ask
ed the price, I found it to be beyond my
present means. lie wanted one di liar
more than I bad with me.
" Have you none fur $2 50 ?" asked I.
"Nu:" was the snappish reply.
" Then I can't purchase to-day,', said I.
" Will you give me $3 25? " asked he.
" I can't," replied I.
"Then you'd better take it off your
foot as soon us possible," said he.
I stared at him, expecting to see him
smile at what I took to be pleasantry; but
t..) my surprise he wore a grub expres
shin, and, to use a homely , but appropri
ate phrase, he looked as " savage as a
meat-axe." I turned my hack on the boor,
and left his establish went, resolved never
again to enter it; and I have related the
scenes enacted there to all my acqu-ain
tauces, who, with one accord, voted the
fellow a perfect boor, and one who did
not deserve a single cu,torner. Doubtless
there arc many such to be found engaged
in different pursuits, but I have never
met with one , su thoroughly rude before.
Several years ago I. used to buy a pop
ular periodical at a book store, the pro

wade the very excusable mistake of call
ing one duty before its issue
" We haven't got it," was the gruff re
ply; and then the boor added, " Don't you
want it also fur next Christmas ? "
" Nu," replied 1, mortified, as I observ
ed several school misses snickering at his
low wit; " nor do I ever want it of you any

I withheld my patronage from him there.

he treated one hundred such customers

No man in the retail business should

he would succed iu the long run. Sup

induce fifty others to avoid running the
risk of a similar rebuff, and those fifty
persons may toll others, and thus the ul

be incalculable. Besides, it costs nothing

Exeoution or the_ Girondist
BY JOHN 8. 0 ABBOTT
During the progress of the French Re
volution, there were two parties which
erase, and for a long time contested for
the supremacy, the Girondists and /the
Jacobins. Tho mob of Paris was at the
disposal of the Jacobins, and sustained
them itt their most atrocious measures.
"We must," said Murat, one of the lead
ers of the Jacobins, "strike into the heArts
of our foes. It is our onLy safety." The
Girondists attempted to arrest the pro
gross of the frightful mas:aeres in which
the Jacobins were engaging. They thus,
exposed themselves to the dangerous
charge of being in sympathy with the
avistocrats. The strife which ensued, a
strife involving life or death, was one of
the most terrible recorded in history.
Madame Roland was one evening urg-
ing Veigniaud to rally the Girondists
party at every hazard to arrest the etas
sacres. "The only hope of France," said
she "is in the sacredness of the law.
This atrocious carnage causes thousands
of bosoms to thrill with horror. All the
wise and good in France,' and in the
world, will rise to sustain those who ex
pose their own hearts as a barrier to ar
rest such onortnities."
''Of what avail," was the sad reply of
of Vergniaud, "can such exertions be ?
The assassins are supported by au the
power of the etrect. Such a conflict must
necessarily terwinate in a s reet fight
- The cannon ate with our foes. The
prominent of the friends of order are
massacred. Terror will restrain the rest.
We shall only provoke our own destruc
tion."
For several days the strife raged in the
Convention with the utmost intensity.
between the Girondists and the Jacobins.
The party which could obtain the ma
jority would surely consign the other to
the scaffold. hl. Roland, this Girondist
Minister of the'lnterior, was a man of
great power, but Madame Roland, with
a brilliance of genius seldom surpassed,
prepared for him his specohes in the Con
vention. France rec..gnized her marve
lous abilities ; the one party regarded
her with adoration, and the other wi.h
hate. Probably never before in the his•
tory of the world has a woman occupied
such a position. It soon became evident
that the rage of the Jacobins would de
scend.upon Madame Roland, and she was
urged to estiape from Paris. The heroic
woman replied :
"I am ashamed to resort to any expe
dient. I will neitlierdisguiso myself nor
make any attempt at street escape. Nly
enemies may find me always in my place.
I owe my country an example of firmness,
and I will give it."
She remained in Paris, and soon per
ished upon the guillotine. The Conven
tion consisted of eight hundred n-en
Twenty-one of the most illustrious men of
-Franco- were considered leaders of. the
Girondists. The Jacobins accused them
of treason, and overawiro. the members of
the Convention by a mob, carried the act
ousation, and condemned them to death.
It was then voted that all Paris should
illuminated in view of the triumph of the
people. At midnight the whole Conven
tion, in procossibn, traversed the brilliant
streets, leading, to grace their triumph,
the doomed Girondists. They wore all
then consigned to the Conciergerie, there
to await the final trial. Summer came
and went, while these illustrious men lin
gered in their dungeons. With fortitude,
the record of which has embalmed their
memories, the struggled to sustain each
other to meet that fate which they knew
could not be doubtful.
At length the hour of final triumph
.came. With the most imposing military
array of infantry, cavalry and artillery, to
guard against the possibility of any coun•
ter revolution, the prisoners were con•
ducted in a long procession, two by two.
to the judgment bar. It was the 30oi of
October, 1793. At eleven o'clock at
night the verdict was brought in, and
they were doomed to be led the nest
morning to the guillotine. As the sen
tence Was pronounced, ono of the Gl
iondists, Valenti . , Plunged his' dagger to
his heart, and fell lifeless to the floor
Another in the delirium of enthusiasm,
shouted : "This is the most glorious day
of my life I" It was midnight when the
victims were conducted back to the Oon
oiergerie. As they marched along, their
voices burst into the Marseilluise Hymbi
in tones which reverberated through the
corridors of the prison, and echoed through
the streets :
'Come children otYour country come,
The day of glory dawn■ on high,
And tyranny ban wide unfurled
bar blooddidalned banner in the aky.,"
They were placed in one late hall, and
the lifeless: body of their companion was
deposited irr one corner. By decree of
the assembly the remains of Whine were
to be taken - wikh the rest, to' the

"What shall we be doing at this dire
to-morrow ?" asked Dacoa.
"We shall sleep," responded one, "at
ter the fatigues of the day, to wake up no.
more. Death is but an endless slumber."
"No," rejoined Fonchet, "annihilation'
is not our destiny. These bodies perish.
These thoughts never die.' To.mnrrow,'
in o.her words, we shall think, feel, and .
act. We shall have solved the problem'
of the destiny of the human mind."
All turned to Vorgniaud as by a coni
mon 'impulse. His discourse was longi
and has been described as the most elo.
quent which was ever uttered by huinan
lips : "Death," said he, in conolusion"id
the greqtest act of life. It introduces us
to a noble existence. Were in not "do,'
their would be something greater. than'
God. It would be just man immolating
himself uselessly and hopelessly for his
country. No ! Vergniand is no 'greater
than God. God will not suffer Verg•
niaud to•morrow to ascend the scaffold'
but to just,fy and avenge him in future
ages
As the light of day penetrated the dun
geon, some sought a moment's sleep, oth'-
era wrote a last line to friends, while oth.
ers gathered in groups fur conversation.
At four o'clock the Bens d' arwes enter
ed with the executioners. The hair was
cut from their necks, that it might not
impede the axe. Gensonne picked up a'
lock And sent it to his wife, saying :
"Tell her that it is . the only memorial
of my love which I can transmit to 4:3r ;'
and that toy thoughts in death were hers."
Vergifiaud scratched upon his watch
a few lilies of tender remembrance, and
sent it to the, y l iung lady to vthoua'in a
few days he was to be married. Fivti"
rude carts conveyed them to the SCaffold..
Each cart contained five personS 511 e;
streets through which the Aad procession
passed were thronged with eduntless'
thousands. It was one of the most splen
did of October mornings. As the ears
moved, the Girondists sang the Marseil
laisellymn. At the end of each verse
there was a moment's silence, and., then
the strain was renewed loud and sonorous.
Arrived at the scaffold, they all embraced.
They then resumed their funeral chant.
One after another ascended the - scaf—
fold, continuing the song till his head
kit into the basket. There was no weak
ness. No voice faltered-, on - each auc:
ceeding moment, as head after head fell,
the song grew more faint. Vergniaudat
last stood alone. Long confinement had
spread a deadly pallor over his intellec
tual features. Ile ascended the steps,'
the chorus having now died away into a
solo of surpassing richness. For a ma;
went he gazed upon the headless bodies
of hisfrienda. And, then, as he !surreal.
ed himself' to the executioner, etimmen=
cud anew the strain.
'•Oome, children of your country, come ;
The thy of glory dawns on high
The axe fell, and his lips were silent'
in death. Thus perished the Girondists.
The h.stery of the French Revolution,
in all its sublime annals, has not a trag.
edy more thrilling.
The Engish church, having been es.
tablished by law in Virginia, became, at;
all such establishments are wont to do;
exceedingly intolerant towards other
:sects. In prosecution of this system, of,
conversion, three Baptist olergymen had'
been indicted, at Fredericksburg for

" contrary to the statu'o." Henry, Leat
