prizes so;? virtuous AC TIONS. In (he account of f be sittiag of the French Academy on the 25fh September, fSw Louis’ (lav) we men tinned fhnt five prizes ((he founda tion of a *■ <•'n de Mootyou) were a warded to five individuals of (lie lower classes of society, for nets np habits of virtue. The ta-k of deci f;:: cr Jo such a ease is new. we be lieve, to an\ literary body acting in its coronrate capacity ; and proba bly, for lb's cause, it may not be tin(o , e r, ecf j '!( to nnnnunce on what individuals, and what actions, (he id -; prf :le Academy fell. Four of these virtuous persons arc of (be sober sex. The first is (he wife of a water carrier, whose husband gyqirtft no more than 33 sous, or 16d, ppr day: but on Iht* D ne Jt q e --ruin ceeei’ “and into her hou e. and simnorted, a poor female eighbor, destitute of bread or refuse, Pe-oiselle FaiHat. a milliner’s girl, ?.a. during t welve year* main tained by her labor the mistress yyj b whom she served hep app<*en ti- ps'ip, and whom an incurable malady prevented IVoin d°ing any thing for Iter own support. Marie Cartier has performed the same of fice of charity for (be last 17 years to a femal * whose bouse she enter ed as a servant. The last, who is a pn ‘pr ‘ss, received and supported in her bouse a young woman Irom her own province, though, for Iho &uoport (.’ hersplt and family, she, lia* only 200 francs, or S/., a year, and was obliged to pledge her wfear inga'iparcl to perform this act of charity. Each of these benevolent individuals have been reworded with 4 000 H anes, and the notice of (the French Academy. > Thp first prize of Ibe value of 15 0(1 fraoes was decreed to Joseph Tic ard. an old-clothesman, and Uu r^u.-wina 1 in (te aeenuat that <he Bishop of licrnrn polls gave of (lie invincible patience ami numerous sacrifices which threw down upon him t o award n Baron Montyon’s bounty. This man, formerly the servant of the maffjois ot St in fort, who died at An as, at (he com ine cement of the revolution, bad V. : ; r; * *• tlie P ri *oo of (hat eiiy. (flmng (his disastrous period, (he generous devotedness ofmad&tne de Cliahil hae to her husband, who was thrown into the same dungeon Deprived of all support after the death of her husband in 1812, ma dame de Chabilhac came to Paris to solicit p iyment of some money who h was due to him. She under stood very little of the French lan guage; and, not succeeding in ‘he object oriier journey,* was redu-ed to the last degree of want, when she accidentally met Beard to Whom* being of the same province, and speaking ‘he same dialect she continue leaded (he account of herdis tres Beeard was deeply affected with her change of condition, and render ed her immediately all the assistance in hi p wer. by selling for her ai a prefi able rate, those articles which ebe was obliged to dispose of for her immediate subsistence. This small fund was soon exhausted; and the unhappy lady, in despair, passed whole nights and days in (ears, struggling to conceal (he distress which oppressed her. Beeard, being Siintself reduced to straits, endea voured to aid her with his feeble means; and. as she was t* shamed to inscribe tier name at the board of charity, he placed his there io her stead, eating himself the coarse bread which he received, and buy ing fine bread for madam? de Cha bithac, who had become blind from the ex ess of her .dictions ft ay, conquering his natural feelings of shame, h ’ even submitted to beg alms in the street for her sake ; and D >t succeeding in his object, by all the humiliations T his new calling, tried afterwards the trade us au old clulhennan. About the cud of last He- ember, this unfortunate woman became ill, and Beeard, after going about duri g the day to gain a pUtum-e for her support, watched her sick bed du ring the night on a chair. It was only after three mouths watching, that he would be prevailed upon to accept fa matrass from one of hc neighbors, resisting (lie offer so long r>c the ground that he might thus fail asleep while bis patient requi red his ass istauce. Ten days before her death, he, in faet, ceased to go rut on his usual occupation. She d ; ed ah >ut the middle of Mav last. Bycard rendered her the las? servi ces of humanity, accompanied her body to the grave, and carried to the rure of the parish five francs, whuh remained of the suceor which that Cure had sent her, for the purpose of • btaining prayers for her sou! Faithful to her memory, he made with his own hands a small wooden oross, and placed it, wish her name inscribed, on the grave where her remains were interred. Such is the course of action which has secured for (hi? faithful friend of misfor tune a gold nodal, aid an honora ble mention among assembled aea dem’n ians If there is any romance i the return of the five francs, arid the erection of the monument, it must be ascribed to the Bishop who gave the details, London Times.
