Anxious to preserve the nation.
Thinking that my vote might settle

Went I duly to election.
Went, believing that to merit,

Lofty character and virtue,
High intelligence and honor.
Victory was always certain.
And I saw the dirty loafers.
Ragged, sweating drunken loafers,
Loafers hideous, grim and nasty.
Loafers all alive with vermin.
Crawling from the City’s sewers.
From their dark and filthy kennels,

With their tattered rags a waving.
With their purple bloated faces.
With their noses all bepimpled.
With their hair all mua bematted,
Running, rushing, roaring, raving,
Cursing, stumbling, limping, yelling.
Laughing with demoniac laughter.
Hurrying with their paper bullets
To kill off some good honest freeman

M ould not pander to their vices.
Would not furnish them with whiskey,
W ould not take them to his besom.
Would not give them all hU money.

THE FATE OF A QUEEN ;
Or the Beautiful Louisa D’Orleaps.
It was an apartment in the palace of
Charles 11, King of Spain. The magnifi
cence of the seventeenth century was visible
throughout all its arrangements, and the
gorgeous taste, distinguishing the Spanish
ladies of that period, was conspicuous in
almost a ludicrous degree, in the person oc
cupying the apartment Arrayed in costly
robes, such as a Queen might wear on pre
sentation days, sat a woman, old,
and savage looking, her lips contracted into
a pinched, malicious expression, her little
black eyes sparkling with hate, and her long,
thin, bony fingers eagerly held out to re
ceive something from the hands of one of
the royal household.
‘lndeed, indeed my lady duchess,’ plead
ed the man, who stood at the door of the
room, as if loth to come further, “I cannot
leave them here without orders from the
queen. You know what a special charge
she gave me on the very morning she left
the palace, and it is as much as my place is
worth to have them out of my sight at all.”
“Bring them here, fellow,” said the lady,
enraged to find her authority questioned.
“Bring them here, and I will let you know
that I have something to order. Nay,” she
continued, springing across the room as
nimbly as her age permitted, closing the door
and locking it, “ you shall obey me. Take
the creatures out of the basket instantly.”
The man reluctantly opened the basket,
carefully releasing from it two beautiful par
rots of a very rare plumage. They perch
ed on his hand and shoulder, apparently de
lighted at their escape from the basket, and
began chattering in French. Reaching out
her hands the old woman caught them, and
in a moment she had wrung the necks of
both with her skinny fingers, and
thrust them hastily back. A spot of blood
fell to the floor; for so violently had she
twisted the delicate throat of the smallest,
that the skin was wholly ruptured.
She started, and grew pale for an instant,
as she saw it staining the pure white of the
finely plastered floor, pure and smooth as
marble; but recovering herself, she turned
to the man and told him to take them away.
He stood clasping his hand together, and
exclaiming, in a confused jumble of French
and Spanish, over the poor dead birds.
Unlocking the door, she applied her satin
slipper on the basket, and would probably
have done the same to the man had he not
hastened c ut of the room to remove the birds
to a place where they could be immediately
stufled and mounted, so as to resemble life
as much as possible before the queen should
return.
This idea getting possession of his head,
he went away, forbearing to give utterance
to the bitter oath3 which had nearly escap
ed his lips. Closing the door, the panting
old woman threw herself down upon a pile
of cushions, covered with gold brocade,
sprinkling her hands as she lay with some
odorous perfume from a richly cut bottle.
“ No more French chattering from them.
I would 1 could rid the palace of her as ea
sily. I would like to do it myself, if it were
only that I should hear no more of the
queen’s sweet temper and amiability.—
Faugh! I hate her.”
It did not keep her awake, however, for
in a short time she slept as soundly as if she
had taken a draught from Lethe, instead of
the richly spiced cordial which accompanied
her noon meal, and of which no head but
one as strong as that of the Duchess of Ter
raneuva could have withstood the effects.—
For the lady who had just executed this
piece of spiteful malice was none other than
the first lady of honor (Camarrera Mayor) to
Louisa and Orleans, the Queen of Spain and
Consort of Charles the 11. Descended by
father from the royal house of Arragon, and
by her mother from Fernando Cortez, who
left her mines of gold and a principality, the
duchess was haughty, proud, and arrogant,
even more than her Spanish blood entitled
her to be. Unscrupulous she certainly was
in regard to the means of destroying any
thing that offended her, as in the case of her
cousin. Don Corras of Arrago, whom she
actually hired bravos to dispatch, because he
aspired to Terranuevft, which she inherited
in her own right. From her husband she
held the title also of Duchess of Mondelcome.
Previous to her being called to the queen’s
household, she had resided in magnificence
with her daughter in-law, the second duch
ea of Mantleamose; but wherever she was
she claimed rule as a right which her rank
and talents gave her.
When Charles—himself a mere boy, bash
ful, inexperienced and ignorant—brought to
his throne the young and lovely Louisa
d’Orleans, and summoned the duchess to his
household as lady of honor to the Queen, a
fierce hatred seemed to possess the soul of
one who oould not bear to witness youth
and beauty in another, now that her own
was gone forever. C£, n f l( j en t of her superi
ority to I he “married babies,” as she con
temptuously termed them, she claimed and
exerted a sway, which, at any other court,
would have utterly ruined her. But Charles
was careless and inconsiderate, and the
Queen was all sweetness; and so both ta
citly acknowledged her influence.
* * * * * *
Louisa d’Orleans, daughter of the Duke of
Orleans, brother to the French King by
Henrietta of England, was about eighteen
years of age when proposals was made to
her from the youthful King of Spain. She
shrank with horror from the formality nl
gloom of the Spanish court, so different as
she apprehended from the light and joyous
character of that of her uncle, the French
King.
And, indeed, had Charles welcomed her
to a fairy bower, with sunshine smiling down
upon it all the year through, it would not
have tempted her; for, alas, the noble maid
en’s heart was no longer hers to bestow.—
Long since, even from her childhood, it had
clung tenderly to that of her cousin, the
Dauphin of France.
When, therefore, her kingly uncle accept
ed the offer of Charles for Louisa, and she
remonstrated against it, Louisa told her that
he could have asked no better for his own
daughter. “ Ah, sire,” she replied, “ but
you could, if you pleased, have done so much
better for your niece I”
But the laws of courts over hearts are
despotic, and the fair and noble Louisa, stif
ling the emotions she dared not betray, hid
her bleedifighfeart tinder the bridal flowers,
and became the Queen of Spain.
From the moment of the bridal she had
hidden from every eye the sight of her suf
ferings ; and so sweetly and amiably had
she performed every duty of her blameless
and innocent life, in a court where pride,
craftiness and intrigue abounded, that
Charles, ignorant, bashful, and a woman ha
ter generally, gave her the admiration and
consideration which she truly deserved.
The last of her brief existence, he greeted
her as when he met her on the bridge lead
ing to the Isle of Pheasants, and received
her from the hand of the Marquis of Astor
ga, exclaiming, “My queen! my queen I”
Not all the dreary discomforts of that tedi
ous and stormy travel by which she arrived
at Madrid, could disturb the sweetness and
equanamity of that temper, which won eve
ry heart, save that of the vindictive duchess
of Terranueva ; nor although mortified by
the ignorance of the King, who did not even
know the names of several important towns
in his own dominion, did she ever show, by
a single look or expression, that she was not
perfectly satisfied with his wisdom and at
tainments. Still, had she truly loved him,
his indifferent manner at times would have
caused her the most excruciating grief;, as, >
for instance, when she wished to repeat a
summer excursion which had once giveu her
great pleasure, she was cooly refused on the
plea of expense; yet almost immediately
afterwards, he set off for the Escurial attend
ed by two or three of his courtiers.
Still amiable, Louisa, sent thither an af
fectionate letter, accompanied by the gift of
a splendid diamond ring. In return, the
King sent her a casket of gold filigree, con
taining some beeds of precious wood, set
with diamonds. A little note was therein
which she eagerly opened. It contained
these words:
Madame, there is a great storm of wind
here. I have killed six wolves. - ’
Probably this was the only letter which
he ever wrote her.
Whatever was developed in Charles of a
high and manly nature, was indisputably
owing to Louisa. For his sake, she learned,
privately, the Spanish dances; and received
for this accomplishment his delighted excla
mation of “My rena! ’
The sway of the Duchess of Terraneuva
now became insupportable. Not a day pas
sed, that did not witness some demonstra
tion of her intolerable pride and haughtiness
of demeanor, not only to the whole court,
which she kept in incessant broils, bits to
wards the king and queen.
These repeated instances called forth the
fi e ry temper of the king, whose wide mouth,
and Austrian lips, sometimes gave the lie to
his fair hair, delicate complexion, and the
remarkable sweetness of his eye&— showing
that he could on provocation become terri
ble. He swore big oaths that she should
be displaced, and was already on the watch
fora suitable person to fill her situation.—
The Duchess d’Albugurque, the Duchess
d’lnfantado, and the Marchioness de :Los
Velez were the principal aspirants. Doh
Pedro of Arragon asked an audience of her
one morning, and gave her the unexpected
advice to remove herself from court, as qui
etly as possible, lest a public dismissal might
ensue.
Stung with rage, she refused to believe
that he had any authority for thus advising
her. Rushing unannounced into the king's
presence, she related the insult, and asked
his majesty's permission to leave a situation
in which she was allowed to meet with such
affronts.
‘‘Certainly” answered Charles “you are
at perfect liberty to leave the place when
ever you choose ?” ,
She was petrified with rage and amaze
ment. Not even royalty had ever dared to
speak thus to the duchess. She sprang from
presence, and as the queen was not yet ris
en she entered her chamber without the
usual ceremonies.
With her habitual sweetness, Louisa said,
I regret, madam, that anything so unpleas
ant should have occurred .”
Before she could speak further, the duch
ess struck her hand viqleptjy, upoj} a
table, and caught uq a
muen valued by her majesty, breaking it( in
pieces, and throwing the glittering frag
ments around the chamber.
“It is quite beneath the dignity of a qon
sort of Spain to lament the dismission of her
Camarrera Mayor,” she said haughtily.
Her departure occasioned the most lively
satisfaction, and her situation was soon filled
more acceptably by the Duchess’ Albu
gurque, who adopted an entirely different
polfby, being as good, gentle and obliging,
as her predecessor had been the reverse.
As if the fate of Henrietta of England had
been entailed on her fair and heatitlfill'daugh
ter consigning her, after a frw bttef year* of
life, to an early grave, Louisa begaft to ex
hibit the same symptoms as her mother had
done. Returning from riding on horseback>
an exercise which was admirably adapted 10
her figure, and in which she’ excelled, she
complained of a violent and distressing pain.
More than at any other time, the king had
been struck with the wondrous beauty of
“My rena” on this occasion. She rode a
spirited jennet of his own choosing, and was
attired magnificently, in a riding dress of
black cloth, with much gold buttons fasten
ing the habit and sleeves. A Spanish hat
and feathers adorned her head, and her little
fairy-like gloves were closed with diamond
buttons. As she took these buttons from
the splendid casket, which no hands save
her own had ever opened, the .superb pearl
called Peregrin a, as large as a small pear,
hanging to a diamond clasp, which formed
her present from when they first
snet, caught his eye. She held it up play
fully, as if to ‘remind hirfi of ,tqat meeting,
and caught his admiring gaze. It brought
forth her blushes like a girl’s. Perhaps there
was another remembrance mfUgled with his
that she blushed to recall. That, too, was
the hour in wliiclj slje feU call
ed upon to shut out frqm heart
the image of her cousin.-,
A momentary faintness, in which the
blush was supplanted by deathly paleness,
alarmed the king. He sprang towards her,
but already she had recovered, and almost
shrunk from his clasping arms. She attri
buted it to the close perfume of the orange
and jasamine” trees which were standing in
silver oases about the room ; and with this
first prevarication on her Ups (a rare in
stance in a Frenchwoman !) she buttoned on
the diminutive gloves, aud went slowly down
the grand staircase, to the courtyard of the
palace, where grooms where wafkinf the
superb animals up and down, while await
ing the royal pair. As the groom held out
his hand for the little foot which-the queen
was about to place in it, Charles, impelled
by a sudden gallantry, which it inust be
did often possess him, sprang for
ward, and received it in his own.
“ Quite” recovered my renjt ?’’ was asked
tenderly.
“Quite!” she answered, but even as she
spoke a sudden pang 3bot through her frame.
She .hi*d upon as if

paleness returned to her . cheek ; but this

First the £&sr day of
a singular, ana/ we believe, anew effeqt of
the application of brandy as a medicine. A
gentleman, convalescing from an ,ttack of
sickness, was recommended by bis phy>rt*n
to rub himself. all-jover, every morning and
evening with, the very best brandy.
The invalid accordingly sent to his faiQ’ly
grocer, with whom had dealt so jears,
and ordered a sample of the best old cognac.
Home it came, and thut-very evening it was
tried--outwardly, of course. The convales
cent felt better, tnorfh better, and he c‘6ntin
ned’ to fcel better for a day or So, until 1m
awoke one morning, and, to his horror, dis
covered that his entire cuticle—at least where
it had been rubbed with the old Cognac—had
become of a deep crimson color.’
‘He sprang out of bed in aTarth. The family
was aroused : a servant despatched in hot
haste for the doctor. The invalid's wits were
terribly shaken by this never before heard,
of catastrophe. Whaf fc&uTd be the cause of
it? He looked a picture for a painter 1 as he

could be no laughing mattery it must be,
some extraordinary phertomenonj as he ex

“And just imagine, my dear, how I shall
look all my life, if this confounded thing
cured.’ Like a boiled lobster!—like a boiled,

The doorbell rafig ; the front door opened j,.

The Doctofburst out asrain at this, but he
saw that his'sick man and family were really

usual pulse-feetlng gravity.
“Maybe its thelodine, Doctor ?” suggested
the anxious wife.
“Ob, its froned isl,” no doubt said the pa* \
