THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. By S. 11. SMITH & CO.] ORIGINAL. W. D. Trammell, one of the Edit el's of this paper, will occasionally contribute an origiual article similar to the following, whicb is from his 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. ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE PASSED JULY AND AUGUST SESSION, 1872.

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 longer required iu use, may claim back from the Revenue Commissioners ninety-five per cent, of the face value of the amount. ysa Sr '** This unrivalled MedlJixw s warranted not to contain a single particle of Mercury, or any Injurious mineral substance, but is PURELY VEGETABLE.
