contribute an origiual article similar

pen :
SKETCHES.
MIKA BEAU AMD HOPIIIE DE BUFFKY.
In the month of May 1775 Mirabeau
was, by order of the stern old Mar
quis, his father, removed from the
Castle of If, where he had for some ;
months l>een imprisoned, to the Cas
tie of Joux among the Jura moun
tains. Not far from the Castle is the
little borough of J’ontarlier, whither
Mirabeau was granted leave to walk
on his parole as often as he chose, and
whither he did walk too often for his
own happiness, often enough to add
another mournful episode to the his
tory of humanity. At Pontarlier liv
ed old President Monnier, now verg
ing on four-score years. In the house
with him lived a beautiful young
woman, scarcely out of her teens, So
phie dc Monnier, his wife, for they
had been married some four 3 tars be
fore according to all the forma of the
law. How came it so? Yes, “ what
cursed fate had here, once again,
brought January and May together?’’
Knowest thou not, O reader, that
such is always the possible fate of
woman ? Four years before the date
of whicb we write old Monnier set out
to get himself a wife ; she must be
young, she must be beautiful, in order
to make him happy in his old uge ;
for old Monnier believed, like every
body else, that woman was “the glory
of man,’’ and that her only business
in life was to add to his felicity. At
Dijon the old President found Sophie
de Ruffe, a lovely, beautiful girl. The
old President has much gold, aud
honors bosiats, and also offers to
make an advantageous marriage set
tlement. Sophie must marry him, or
go to a convent! Sad alternative I
“ Can I not die then?’’ No, no ; hast
thou not learned yet, O Sophie de
lluffoy, that thou wast made for the
glory of man ; ono man, who, in your
case, as cursed fate hath fixed it, is
no other than President Mourner ?
The convent is certain uml eternal
death to all your girl-dreams. So
you must go along with the old Presi
dent and make him happy, for ho is I
old and will soon die.
They wero declared by the priest
man and wife, aud four years, long,
weary years, afterwards, Sophie de
Ruffey, now Sophie de Monnier, al
ready become “ sad-heroic” from suf
fering, finds herself listening with
rapt attention to the passionate elo
quence of Mirabeau, the prisoner of
the Castle. It is said that Mirabeau
felt the incantation stealing over him,
and wrote to his wife to come to him,
that her presence might fortify him j
in his duty ; but his poor wife, driven j
to desperation, had already forgotten
him and was looking out for another
man to glorify, one more congenial
aud less mad than Mirabeau. So Mi
rabeau coutiues his visits to Pontalier ;
ho declares his love to the beautiful,
sad-heroic woman with such burning
eloquence as sho is unable to resist.
D oat thou wonder, O reador? The
old President .at last opens his eyes ;
ho sends Sophie back to Dijon; Mira
beau escapes from the Castle, aud
follows her thither. Explosions fol
low ; aud many things are endured
by tlio sad-heroic woman that need
not be narrated here. Meanwhile
the old father, Marquis Mirabeau, has
called to his assistance the best de
tectives in France, aud turned them
loose, like blood-hounds, upon the
track of his mad son, Gabriel Honore.
Moreover ho has secured for said Ga
in iel the dreary Castle of Mont !St.
Michell, in Normandy, which prison
ho considers Btroug and “ desolate
enough, even for this Tiger with face
pitted by small-pox.’’ Mirabeau flies
from Dijon, and Sophie is sent back
to Fouturlier, that she may do her
duty, that she may fulfill tho evident
design of her creation, that, she may
revolve for the balance of her life in
the “ true sphere of woman,’’ namely,
about, the old President, thus, perad
venture, adding somewhat to the fe
licity of that old gentleman.
Bat the human heart is very hard
to crush utterly, and volcanoes burn
on in spite of sleets and snows that
envelope them. On the twenty-third
night of August, 1776, Mirabeau
scales the walls of the garden at Pon
talier, and finds himself once more by
the side of Sophie. No burning elo
quence is needed to persuade this
heart-hungry, sad-heroic woman.
They will fly to some far country,
out of the shadow of Castles of Joux
and Mont St. Michel], beyond the
Ken of Rhada man thine father, and
his blood-hounds. The morning star
of hope rises softly over the hills, and
the orient dreams of her girlhood gild
the gray of the coming morn, while
she pictures to herself a safe home
with him ; and even in this night of
peril she sings in her soul, “ They
two, and they two, and they two, for
aye 1”
They fly to Amsterdam, where they
live out eight months of tropic love
and terror ; for they are liable at any
moment to be arrested and separated.
Think of these two, O reader, there
in the garret! The beautiful sad
heroic bride, possibly not altogether
innocent, but less guilt than the most
innocent of her tormentors ; and great
Mirabeau, Deputy of the People, hero
of the Tenuis Court, avenging angel
of tho people’s wrongs, God of the
Revolution, a terrible giant who gave
the world a kick, sendiug it with all
that it contains, at a tangent from its
life-time orbit, whizzing through the
centuries at a rate unlit before.
Truly, this thing of love is not always
a small affair!
But eight months have gone ; the
blood hounds have found the wild
man at last ; he is carried to the
Castle of Vincinnes, she to Dijon.
For forty-two long months Mirabeau
has been locked within the prison
walls of Vincennes ; but now he is
loose again! If you have tears, O
reader, prepare to shed them now.
The closing scenes of this real trage
dy shall be given in the language of a
master—of this reed tragedy ; for, re
flect, O, reader ; these things have re
ally happened, flesh and blood have
surely felt them. “ After a space of
years, these two lovers, wrenched
asunder in Holland, and allowed to
correspond, that they might not poi
son themselves, met agitin. It was
under cloud of night, in Sophie’s
apartments in the country j Mirabeau,
‘disguised as a porter,’ had come
thither from a considerable distance.
And they flew into each other’s arras,
to weep their child dead, their loDg,
unspeakable woes ? Not at all. They
stood, arms stretched oratorically,
calling one another to account for
causes of jealousy ; grew always loud
er, arms set a-kimbo ; and parted
quite loud, never to meet more on
earth. In September, 1789, Mirabeau
had risen to be a world’s wonder ;
and Sophie, far from him, bad sunk
en out of the world’s sight, respected
only in the little town of Gien. On
the 9th night of September, Ylirabeau
might be thundering in the Y'ersailles
Salle den Menu*, to be reported of all
Journals on the morrow ; and Sophie,
twice disappointed of new marriage,
the sad-heroic temper darkened now
into perfect black, was reclining, self
tied to her sofa, with a pan of char
coal burning-near, to die os the un
happy die.”
When we say that Sophie de Ruffey
vvas less guilty than old Monnier, leas
guilty than her family, less guilty
even than society, because society
made this tragedy possible, uay, even
certain, dost thou clasp thy hands, O
reader, and roll thy eyes in holy hor
ror? Thou Pharisee! We declare
unto thee, that is worth thy while to
consider whether that feeling of thine
would not better be described by
some other word than holy. Wait
until thou knowest fully the woman’s
heart, till which time, ut least, leave
her with God. But if thou art so
minded, come with us aud drop a tear
over her memory; if not for the
wrongs she suffered, then only for the
sorrows she endured. We pledge
thee it will not be the worse for thy
soul ; for, behold! Sophie de Ruffey
was also a woman! T.

SELECTED BV MISS X. C. SAFFORD.
THE BURIAL OF MOSES.
“ By Nebo’s lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan’s wave,
In a vale in the land ofMoab,
There lies a lonely grave ;
And no man dug that sepulcher®,
And no man saw it e’er, [sod,
For the angels of God upturned the
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth ;
But no man heard the trampling,
Or saw the train go forth,
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on ocean’s
cheek,
Grows into the great sun.
Noiselessly as the spring-time
Her crown of verdure weaves
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
So, without sound of music,
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain’s
crown,
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On gray Beth-peor’s height,
Out of his rocky eyry
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns that hallowed spot;
For beast and bird have seen and
heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffled drum
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless
steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard and honored place,
With costly marbles drest—
In the great minster transept.
Where lights like glories fall,
And the sweet choir sings, and the
organ rings,
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword ;
This, the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word;
And never earth’s philosopher
Traced with his golden pen.
On the deathless page, truths half so
sage
As he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor ?
The hill-side for his pall,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapers tall,
And the dark rock-pines like tossing
plumes.
Over his bier to wave,
And God’s own hand in the lonely
land,
To lay him in the grave!
In that deep grave without a name,
Whence his uncoftined clay
Shall break again—most wondrous
thought—
Before the Judgment-day,
And stands with glory wrapped
around,
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won our
life
With the Incarnate Son of God.
O, lonely tomb in Moab’s land!
O, dark Beth-peor’s hill!
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries of grace,
Ways that we cannot tel!;
And hides them deep, like the secret
sleep
Os him He loved so well.”
After the first of October those per
sons who hold revenue stamps, no

back from the Revenue Commissioners
ninety-five per cent, of the face value
