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

(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
