"TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RIGHT. "—Thomas Jefferson.
TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOV. 15 1865.
Ihlftt § tcrg.
THE.CRACK IN THE WALL.
A handsome house in an eligible street in
Paris with plenty of sbowy furniture in the
drawing-rooms, and plenty of fine dresses in
the wardrobe, but no love, no magnanimity,
except fn a little back attic, where a charm
ing young girl tenderly ministered to a fee
ble mother. The house belonged to Mon
sieur and Madame Chatelle, the attic was
occupied by the widow and daughter of Mon
sleur's deceased brother, M. Broussaies Cha
telle. The widow Chatelle was, at her best,
a weak minded woman, and when suddenly
reduced from apparent prosperity to absolute
dependence by the death of her husband,
she gave way at,once, and^become morbid,
fretfnl and exacting. Iler ill temper injured
nobody but herself and daughter, Roßine ;
for her hostess having permitted her to fur
nish the back attic with such articles as she
had saved from the wrecK of her fortune, and
contented herself with sending up three scan
ty meals a day, while she worked Rosine
nearly to death in the various departments
of governess, laundress and lady's waiting
maid. Finally,'discovering that mother aDd
daughter mut soon be supplied with new
garmen's, Monsieur took the mattei in hand,
and plainly told his unwelcome guests that
he could no longer support them, and that
they must thenceforth look to themselves
alone for food and shelter.
Poor Mdme. Chatelle was overwhelmed
by th is blow, but it gave Rosine courage.
From a dependent child, she became a self
relying woman, and when she crossed her
uncle's threshold for the last time it was
with a resolute step and cheerful countenance.
Tt is true that she did not even suspect the
wasting anxiety, the haunting fears and the
many disappointments which lay before her;
but even if she had done so she would have
smiled at them for a moment.
Her first search was for lodgings, of the
price of which she knew nothing, and with
an aching heart, she descended lower and
lower in the sccial scale until she came upon
a vast building, six or seven stories high
thronged lo the eaves with a motely and ill
assorted community. It was called"The Fol
ly," because it was begun on a grand scale,
for a private dwelling, and was stopped when
half finished for yant of meaus. 111-ar
ranged for any purpose, it remained jong un
sold and finally made into a lodging house ,
its thin partitions and mean stair-wsys con
trasting strongly with its stone walls and
i.Andsome casements.
A Iront room on the second floor had
just been vacated, and Rosine, with many
misgivings, resolved totake.it. A thorough
cleaning, with three or four coats of white
wash to the ceiling and walls which she affee
ted with her own hands, greatly improved its
condition ; and although she had been obliged
to sell a part of her furniture to supply more
needed artic.les, there wa9 si ill enough to
make it contrast pleasantly with most of the
apartments of the''Folly." A bright color*
ed carpet covered the center tf the room, and
ar ninnd it stood three or four rose-wood
chairs, a deep soft lotmge, and a small table.
One of the recesses upon the back side held
the bed, screened by long Curtains of giazed
cambric, and the other held the little cook
ing stove, with a few little culinrry utensils
which hung around it. The table furn i ture
was stowed away in a corner cupboard, pret
tily covered boxes held the fuel and provis'
ions, and upon the wall were five or six of
Rosine's pretty water color drawings, and a
small case of choice but well worn books.
Cosine had kept up her spirits wonderful
fy until these preparations were completed)
for she had no time to think ; but now came
the hard task of procuring work. She conlu
draw and color with taste and skill ; she
played the piano gracefully and sing charm
ingly ; and she embroidered neatly and rap
idly. Her personal appearance was also in
her favor. Iler figure was elegant, and her
face posessed a sweetness and purity ; but
these points, which interested for the moment
those to whom she applied, weighed but lit
tie against the facts that she lived in a
doubtful if not positively disreputable quar
ter. The utmost that she could accomplish
was to secure one pupil in each of the branch
es which she desired to teach, at a rate oT
compensation far below that, which she ought
injustice to have received ; And discouraged
by her ill success she tried to obtain other
employments, however coarse and unremun
erative. This search was rendered nearly un
availing by Mdme. Chatelle, who exacted
from her daughter as much attention as if
they were independent in fortune, and who
was in a chronic state of ill-humor over her
privations and sufferings. Rosine never lost
her patience. She silenced her own grief to
quiet those of her mother, soothed her with a
thousand loving devices, and at night she
song her to sleep as she would have done a
j fretful infant.
Rosine's gentle beanty, and her refined
manner and loving heart were good gifts to
the lodgers in the crazy old buildings. To
some she rendered aervices so cordially and
quietly that the feeling ot obligation was
sweet rather than painful; and for all she
had the right word, the pleasant smile, or
the deferential bow. as she divined tbe pe-
culiarities of each with the fine tact of a gen
tlewoman. There was but one inmate whom
she c uld not tame—a certain M. BrUlain
who, whatever he might have been, was a de
cided bear—llia long, gray hair was always
in a tumble, and nun gled with his profuse
beard, forming a rough frame for the small
portion of face visible within it. Of this
nothing could be seen but a long, sharp nose'
and a pair of deep, dark mellow eyes, which
were irresistabiy attractive when brightened
by a kindly emotion, but which habitually
shot forih scornful and ill natured glances to
accompany the sarcastic wen da which fol
lowed the slightest notice of him.
Ilis dress was 6crupously neat, but thread
bare and ill-fitting, and his figure, so far as
could be seen, badly shaped and as un
couth as his raaDner#. He had a room on
each floor, and passed with slippered feet
trom one to the utb r at ail jam ler cf season.
Rosine often met him, upon which occasions
he seldom failed to accost her with a sarcasm
bitter in proportion to the nu m ber of listen
ers ; by which means ha effectually blinded
the most inquisitive to his real feelings and
saved both the young lady and himself from
an irksome surveillance. But either his lus
trous eyes neutralized the effect of his lance
like wit, or his voice, which could yield the
most winning heart tones, must have given
the lie to his sparkling shafts ; for Rosine
never suffered from them.—She even felt
drawn towards this powertul, cross grained
man, as if he were saier and stronger for his
hresance in the dreary building-
One of M. Bri 1 lain's apartments adjoined
that of Mdme. Chstelle's and not only was
thepartition thin, but there was a crack in
't which helped him to a knowledge of
.much that was going on upon the other side.
Mdme. Chatelle's constantly complained of
ennui. ''lt was.so doll when Rosine was
away ! Not a Dew novel, not a canary bird)
not a cat to purr on her knee, not even a
mignonette on the balcony ! What was the
use of front windows when there was no
handsome dresses or fiDe carriages to be seen!
She was starving, too, litera'ly starving
How could Rosine expect her to live on dry
breadjand oniou soup !" Then the sweet voice
of Rosine would be heard, sometimes explain
ng and coaxing, but more freqrently detailing
little 6treet incident, relating a pretty anec
idote or recalling a pleasant reminiscence.
Upon such occasions, M Brtllan often hap
pened to sit near the wall, and even to lean
his head against it in close proximity' to the
convenient crack. To do him justice, it must
be said that such accidents had never occur
red to him before. He ws not naturally
curious, nor did his time hang so heavily on
his hands as to drive him to ungenerous
modes of disposing of it ; but he had never
until now come unto real companionship
with a true woman. His mother was hand
some and gay—the veriest trifle that ever
was tossed on the surface of French society.
Her husband was pay, also ; but where she
floated like thistle down, he plunged deeply
in. \ icious himself, and acquainted with
vice, he was joalous of her every glance.—
Hot words, fierce contentions, angry recrim
inations followed and the little Brillan form
ed hard, contemptuous views of his race
which had thus far robbed h'tn of sweetness
and beauty. He had seen, indeed, shining
examples of every virtue, both separate and
in combination ; but he had grown up in
such isolation and misanthropy that none of
them*had come directly home to him ; and
besides, their effect had been lessened, if not
destroyed, by a lurking doubt of the purify
of the motives which had dictated acts so ut
terly at variance with his preconceived opin
ion of possibilities. But here was a genuine
revelation. There was no chance for mistake
or misconception, for he could himself read
all its marvellous pages. Here was strength
with gentleness,youth with patience, beauty
with purity and courage with tenderness
The lovely picture stole into the heart of the
gray-haired cyn c #nd hunted his memory
At first he imagined that he felt merely the
surprise and delight which would have been
occasioned by a discovery in science or art ;
hut when he found that Rosine illuminated
ihe whole building by her presence—when
the touch of her garments as she passed him
on the landing it thrilled him with intense
pleasure—he coold not but acknowledge to
hitnsel f that his intellect had very little to
do with the j;y he experienced.
One twilight there was a knock at M.
Chatelle's door, and for the first time M-
Brillian apdeared upon the threshold.
"Had Pompine strayed into Madarae's
room ? Pompine sometimes wandered, but
still she had her good points. She was
handsome—that nobody could dispute if
Madame had ever observed her, she must
have perceived that the gray of her coat was
of a perfect shade."
Madame had never seen the animal —which
was not to wondered at, as she had been
smuggled into the house twenty-four hours
was at that moment securely fastened in the
apartment ; but Monsieur's object was cccom
plisbed. He bad, in a legitimate manner
cauoht eight of a snow-white dinner-cloth
and ignoring the presence of Rosine, who
stood respecttuily awaiting his departure,
he addressed himself to Madame.
"How cosy the table looked ! He was
tired of bis tumbled meals, acd be had for
TEO.MB, 82,00 PER
gotten to buy some bread. Might he just for
once, bring in his dinner, and so pic-nic
with them V
As be had foreseen, while she was endeav_
oring to frame a cortecue refusal, Madame,
alive only to the possibility of .a comfortable
meal, gave a glad assent ; and before the
young lady had recovered from her surprise
and vexation, he appeared with a superb cat
under one arm, and bearing a tray with a lit
tle 6ilver box with the purest coffee, a cream
pitcher minus the nose, but filled with excel
lent cream, a sugar dish without a handle, a
sugar bowl with a battered spon, a stool
knife and fork, and an old chicken on half a
platter, a pat of delicious butter on a dish
notched at the edge, some.delicious tarts, and
a bottle of choice wine.
As there was no help for it, Rosine
made the coffee and cut the bread, her own
little share of the repast ; while Monsieur
sat down by Madame and gave her a pathet
ic account of his houae-keeping troubles.
With perfect gravity he asserted that a
lady friend had, in spite of his protestations,
given him not only the cat, but a canary
bird, a mocking bird, and a parcel of plantß
in pots, which were really the torment of his
life.
He couldn't under any circumstances, give
away these articles, yet the birds were often
hungry and dry, and the plants were dying
for waDt of care.
Madame, who didn't once suspect that
this was a pleasing fiction, devised for the
occasion by her guest, sympathized with him
so heartily that a new idea then and there
appeared to occur to him.
"Might he venture to ask—could she take
the trouble to look after this convenient
household 1 He had no claim, but the temp
tation was great. He had seeds in abundance
for the birds, and the milkman and butcher
had orders to leave food daily for Pompine."
Rosine looked warningly at her mother,
but Monsieur did not appear to perceive it
It was Madame whom he relied on and she
did not fail him.
"She would be'dalighted. It would give
her something to think of when Rosine was
from home. Rosine was a good girl, but
really she was out more than appeared nec
essary or pioper to her. Oh, yes ; she 6ho'd
be not only willing, but happy to oblige him.'
The call to dinner interrupted the flow of
Madame's eloquence. The meal passed
pleasantly. Monsieur was playfully protec
tive toward the young lady, but profoundly
deferential toward the elder one, and his
wit was so light, his humor was so genial,
and his anecdotes were so full of fun, that
Rosine even forgot her cares and felt some
thing of her old time gayety. As the even
ing drew to a close M. Brillian hung the
bird cages and arranged the flower pots on
the balcony. This done, he remembered
put one other trouble that he ned confide
to Madame.
"He wished to use the adjoining room for
a library. If Madame would sometimes con
descend to give it a finishing touch, so thac
he could feel a little at home, she should be
wolci'me to any or all the books which were
there,"
There was another warning look on Ro
sine's face, but Monsieur, fearful of its effect,
lifted the hands of his hostess to his lips,
and took his departure with a showpr of bon
mots which prevented all the discussion of
ihe topic.
Rosine's dissuasives had no effect upon
Madame, who arranged tha apartment which
M. Briilian had spoken o f , and which she
found full of books, pictures, and statuetts,
iu the utmost disorder. There were excel
lent novels, works of travel and biography,
volumes of exquisite engravings, and all the
best French periodicals.
These were treasures, indeed and Madame
smiled again. What was still better, Ro
sine's time was fully occupied by pupils who
paid liberally and in advance. She suspect
ed M. Brillian's influence in all this, but she
could not decline to benefit by it, for with*
out it she must starve. Its acceptance, too,
was entirely unlike the birds and the flow
ers, which she felt persuaded were intended
from the first as gifts, and in which she
could, therefore, take no pleasure.
For two months M. B-illian was seen but
little anout the house, and yet great baskets
of fruit and lovely bouquets were continu
ally finding their way into the apartments
of the Chatelles, and Madames' pocket was
never without a supply of bonbons, of which
she was immoderately fond. She pleaded
ignorance of the giver ; and Rosine, finding
remonstrance unavailing, endured in silence.
The cold weather had set Rosine to think
ing how she could supply winter clothing and
fuel, when M. Britlian again begged permis
sion to dine with Madame, pic-nic fashion.
"It was his fete-day," he said, "always a
melancholly occasion, and he dreaded to
•spend the evening alone."
Madame wss as gracious as before.—
"Monsieur would be most weleome," and
Rosine could only make the coffee and lay
the table in silence.
But this time Monsieur assisted her. He
brought a table for the desert, and unpacked
an enormous hamper, containing substantial
and delicacies for a week of feasting. For a
man with a sorrow, he was certainly very
merry, laughing over the want of dishes,
making puns, dashing off rhymes and tellinfl
VOL, JYSESI6
stories all in one breath.
The room was warm, and M, RriMian,
when Rosine's back war turned, slily filled
Madatne's glass more than once, so that good
lady by and bye dropped asleep. Rfpine
blushed and grew uneasy: but her guest
without noticing her agitation, dreat.his,
chair a little nearer hers, and told her how
his childhood had been passed, how its fitter
memories had made him a misanthrope,and
how hei gentle virtues had won him a lore
and reverence which he had not before
deemed possible. Then with a hurried ea
gerness most unlike bis usual he
asked her to become bis wife. * j
Rosine listened in silence. Ever since she
had known M. Brillian, life bad been easier
and brighter to her. Unconsciously she had
leaned upon bixa, even when she was blaming
herselt for accepting favors so quietly con
ferred that she did not know how to decline
or prevent them.
Looking back upon bis conduct toward her,
and seeing it in the new light shed npoo it
by this avowal, she felt its delicacy
erositj, its winning thoughtfulness and grate
ful trust. The love that had lain latent in
her heart, waiting only for an enkindling
spark, nurst into conscious existance. M.
Briltian knew it, and. stoopiDg, received ibis
acceptance in a timid, trembliDg kiss.
"You must remove from this old to
morrow, darling," said M. Brillian ; "we can
not be married at the 'Folly'-—that wiJJ never
do."
"And why not ?" asked Rosine, in aston
ishment; "Shall we not continue to ijve
here, and shall I not give lessons as nqw3"
"Probably not; but who do you thiafcyou
have promised to marry ?" ,
"An elderly man of small means and ao
apparent business, living in the -Folly," a
dreary and not very respectable house in a
dirty street in Paris."
"We shall see," said M. Brillian; aad
after a few rapid movements, he stood before
bis betrothed a handsome man of thirty-five
with short, thick, chestnut hair,eurlingclose
ly on his temples, a delicate moustache
curling over the clear brown of his cheeks,
and a fine figure tastefully habited in the
most elegant of the prevailing styles. Them
he sat down and whispered in her ear tbp
name of one of the most distinguished law*
yers in the capital.
Rosine's blue eyes opened to their utmost
capacity, and her lover looked fondly into
them as he continued : ..< ? 1
"There was a great lawsuit pending which
involved an immenae estate,and I was certain
that I could secure it for my client if F could
secure some important evidence which Aad
been dexterously concealed. I put myself iti
the hands of.one of those artists whose bfliti*
ness isjto perfect disguises, and commenced
my search, which finally brought me here.*—
To day I have gained my cause, but my suc
cess in court was nothing to what t have
achieved here. Oh, Rosine, you have given
me love, and faith, and glad hopes that* reach
evon to Ileaveu."
Upon the following New Year' eve a pleas-,
ant wedding was celebrated in a fashionable
street, aud then M. and Madame de Court
ney and Madame Chatelle drove to a splen
did mansion, all aglow with lights and scent
ed flowers. There tbey received their friends
and re latives, or at least a portion of them,
for,although M. and Mime. Antolne Chatolle
made the most humble apologies as soob as
they learned fhat thoir neice was to be re
stored to society, thej did not receive wed
ding cards.
When the guests departed, the happy hus
band offered his wife his own especial gift-
It; was a picture in a frame of gold set with
pearls, and represented his library at the
Foil}," with a light shining through % crack
in the wall.
AN IMPORTANT ACCESSION.— Governor Mor
ton, of Indiana, in a recent speech, took
decided ground against negro suffrage, plant
ing himself squarely upon the Democratic
platform on that subject. This is an important
accession to the white men's party, as it
indicates a serious division in the Republican
ranks, and promises for President Johnson's
reconstruction policy a stronger support in
Congress than indications some time ago
seemed to warrant. The Democratic party
by its decided stand in opposition to negro
suffrage, has saved the country from the
debasement the Chases, Sumners and that
class would have inflicted on it by the suc
cess of their schemes of negro suffrage and
negro equality.
