During the “ Reign of Terror ” in France, there were many deeds of dar ing performed, even by women. The very streets in Paris were deluged with blood. Rut near the guilotine it ran in rushing torrents. One dark morning an unsual number of the aristocrats had been marched forth • countless heads rolled from the block. A gaping multi tude stood by, and with shouts rent the air as the aristocracy were butchered. Among’ the assembled multitude that dreary morning were two females. One of them was plainly clad, while a cloak was thrown around her with which she kept her features nearly concealed. But a close observation would betray the fact that she had been weeping. Her eyes were flamed and red, and she gazed eagerly upon the plantform, while a shock of the glittering knife, severed the head from someone who had be n uufortunate enough to fall under the ban of two leaders. The face of the woman was very beautiful and she was young —certainly not more than sixteen or eighteen years of ago. The oilier female was quite different in character. Her face was fair, but there was a brazen expression about it. She v as clad in rags, and as each head fell she would dance and in various ways express her delight, and then ex claim : “There goes another aristocrat, who j refused me charity when I humbly sued I him.” Each expression of this kind would create a laugh from those who heard her, though any thoughtful person, must wonder how one so young could have been so depraved. The first female watched this poor creature a few minutes, and then passed one hand to her sid j, she laid the other upon the shoulder of the wretch, and whispered : “ Would you like to become rich at once ?” The female turned about with a look of surprise, burst into a loud laugh, and then replied : “ Of course, I would.” “Follow me and you shall be.” “Enough. Lead on.” It was with considerrble that the ladies extracted tbemselvW the crowd ; but they did so at and then the first female aske*’ other : “What shall I call you ?” “Oh, lam called the P£g ar Girl, Maria.” “ You live by begginr • ’ “Yes; but what’s/our uame r and what do you want ?” “My name is ar i a 5 the same as yours.” . “ Are you ar aristocrat. “It does rJt matter. If you know wheie we c*o find a room, lead me to it and you shßl have gold. The proper led the .vay into a narrow filthy street and then down into a dark filthy room. The Other female could not but feel a sickening sensation creep over her, pat she recovered herself. After cou templating for a time the apartment and its contents, she asked : “Are you well known in Paris “ Yes ; everybody knows Maria, the Beggar Girl.” “Are you known to Robespierre ? II so, 1 want to make a bargain with you.” “I am. What do you wish ?” “ You see that my clothes are better than your own, and I want to exchange with you. I want you to not show yourself at all for a short time, or until I come to you again. As a recompcnce for aiding me I will give you a thousand francs, and when I come I will give you a thousand more. As security for my return take this ring.” The lady drew a diamond ring from b?.r finger, and gave it to the beggar girl; then handed her a purse contain ing gold. The girl appeared a little puzzeled, and asked : “ Well, what are you going to do with my dress?” “ J want to put it on and go to where I first met you.” “ Oh, I understand now. You want to see the chopping going on, and you are afraid you will be taken for an aris tocrat it you wear that dress ; you want to represent me.” “ Tea, I want to look like you as near as possible.” “Well, that won’t be difficult. Your •‘Truth Conquers All Things.” hair and eyes, and even your mouth are like mine. Your face is too white, though. But you can alter that with a little dirt.” They exchanged diesses, and soon the young, rich and noble Maria de Nantes was clothed in the rags of Maria, the Beggar Girl of Paris. 'J he history of Maria de Nantes was a painful one. Her father and two brothers had fallen victims of the re morseless fiend of the Revolution, and a third and last brother had been saved, but of his fate she was ignorant, al though she expected that it would be similar to that of her other relatives.— He had been torn from her but a few hours before. After the exchanges the pauper, looking on the stoekingless and shoeless little feet and ankles of th lady said . “ That will never do. Your feet are too little and delicate. Let me arrange matters.” In a few minutes Maria was prepared, and in filth and rags she emerged into the street. She now took her course back towards the guillotine, and at length reached the square where the bloody work was going on. Gradually she forced her way through the crowd, and nearer aud nearer she came to the scaffold. She even forced a laugh at several remarks she heard around her, but those laughs sounded strangely.— She now stood within the platform, swept it with her eyes, but her brother was not there. The cry was raised, ‘‘the aristocrats are coming !” Her heart fluttered viulently, and Hie felt a faintness come over her as she heard the tramp of the doomed men approaching. Her brother walked proudly and fearlessly forward and as scended the steps that led to the block. Up to this moment the strength of poor Maria had failed her, and she was una ble to put her plan into execut on Butfnow a sister’s love sprang up in her hea: t, and she recovered her strength. She sprang forward, bursting through the line of guards, and ran up the steps, and grasping her brother by the hand, she cried : “ What does this mean ? It is only aristocrats who arc to die.” “Away woman !” cried one of the ex ecutioners. “No; I will not go till you tell me why my brother is thus bound.” “Your brother!” was the ocho. “Well, who are you ?” “I am Maria; don’t you know me ?” “The beggar girl ?” “Aye.” “But this is not your brother.” “It is. Ask him—ask him.” Young Antonia de Nantes has turn ed a scornful glance upon the maiden, but a light crossed his face, and he mu’- muered, “ Oh my sister !” “Is this your brother ?” aske/ ii,ubs espiere of the supposed begg r /<<ivanc ‘ ing near her. “It is.” tf “Does Maria speak th asked Robespierre. “ She does,” w r the brother 8 re “ ply. “And you a- not de Nante9 - “I tell you" am ber brother.” “Why d* y° u bell us this be_ fore?” t £ af empted to speak, but was si lence^ £>ut you might have declared your /’> s ,i. “You would not have believed me.’ “But your dress ?” “It belongs to an aristocrat—perhaps him for whum I was taken ” Robespierre advanced close to young Nantes, and gazed earnestly in bis face ; then he approached Maria and looked steadily into her eyes for a short time. It was a mom nt of trial for the poor girl She trembled in spite of all her efforts to be ' aim. She almost felt that she was lost, when the human fiena, whose, word was law, turned and said : “ Release the man.” The chains were instantly removed, and Antonia de Nantes walked down from the scaffoli, followed by his sister, while shouts rent the air, for they sup posed he was a commoner who had thus been saved. The young man worked his way through the crowd as rapidly as possi ble, leading Maria. They scarcely es caped it before the poor girl fainted from the intensity of Per feelings. The brother scarcely knew what to do, but a hand was laid on his arm, and a voice said : “ Bring her to my room again; she will be safe there.” The brother conveyed her to the apartment of the pauper, and asked of her : “ Have you seen this female be fore ?” “ Yes, I know all about her.” return ed the pauper. “ She has done it, and I glad.” Before the noble Indy had returned to consciousness the brother had learn ed all. When she did so, they both sought more secure quarters, after re warding the beggar girl as promised. “Bo you really think that Robespier re was really deceived ?” asked Maria de Nates. “ I think not,” returned the broth er. “ Then why did he order your re lease ?” “ He saw your plan—admired your courage. Could a fiend have done less ?” “ Perhars it was the case ; but if so, it was a deed of mercy, and the only one that man ever did.” “ You are right.” Antonia de Nantes was not again ar rested, and lived happily, with that sis- ter who had so nobly perriled her own life to. save him, by personating the Beggar Girl of Paris. An Horn* at th© Central Station Court. “Bub, what’s the matter ?” asked the court. “I fit J-Jirn,” sobbed the boy. “When ?” “Last n-i-te.” “And where’s Jim ?” “He got away.” “And why didn’t you get away?” “H-had a sore h-heel.” “Was it much of a fight ?” “\ r -yes, sir—l licked him.” “What caused the fight ?” /lie kicked my little b-brother.” “My son —” “Please your Honor I am not your son.” “There was onee a boy. He was a good boy. He didn’t hook apples or puj pins under anybody. His face was al ways clean, his hair was slick! Ah he was a jewel of a boy. He wouldn’t cheat, lie, swear or fight. He went to bed early, got up early, minded his mother, and what do you think became of him ?” “Got run over by a buss,” sobbed the boy. “No, my son ; he got to be Governor of Michigan. Will you promise to try and be a governor ?” “Yes,” I • “And next time you’ll run rather than fight ?” “Y-yes, sir, if t l‘can,tget hold of a club. “He was told to go. “Who‘s this ?“ asked the court, a* a man of forty stood before the bar— ty ragged, and outlandish in look and dress., > - - “Martin Henry Jackson,” was the answer. “Well, you are tbe meanest looking oM vagrant I ever saw. You look as if you. had slept with the hogs.” “How can I help it ?” asked the fel low. <■ “Hang it man, if I had but one fin ger and one toe left I’d put in a better appearance than you do or blow my head eff.” “1 hain’t any work and no m n gy 5 f “There you are, fat and •> 38 tbe head cook on a stea- '° d \ an you loaf avound th- , ’ cores, sleep in sE , an , P ut U P. r anything rat]/ 1 tban do a sf ° ° r ° work IwU could send U u U P * or a tbonso J J ears -” ,^ v -at have I done?” ashed the old vaf-‘nt “ Nothing, nothing at all.

I’ll chalk you for six months, and if you don’t leave Detroit as soon as your time is out I’ll buy a mule and turn him loose on you.” Bijah announced that the moment had arrived for a painful separation un til another morning,and the boys waited for Martin and sang : “ He’s rag-i and tags and fags, He’s dirt from chin to lieel; And if he had jumped off the dock How happy we should feel.” As Si was coming up town from th Richmond Air-line Depot yesterday he indulged in a little song all to himsele Two other negroes passed by, aud one of them shouted back : “Fin up yeroder-lip old man, an stop dat racket!” “Who yer talkin ter ?” said Si, stopping short and turning around. “Talkin to you ; who yer tink I’m talkin to, you old Guinea rooster you ?” “Yer don’t know me do yer?” said Si. “I don’t keer who you is;yun ain’t no grand army ob de public no how 1” ‘ Look hyar I’m de mos discouregeous nigger in dis Allanty city,‘an’ an’ I’ll jis take dis hyar head an’ butt yer inter de forepart ob Christmas week I will “Youse a < 4 a—” Just then Si took a run with head bent down, and two seconds after there was a sick nigger in the mud, wanting nothing under heaven bnt a doctor. And as Si went on, he remaaked over his shoulder : “I’m a bad nigger : alias wus ; wus Dad fore do war bad all in de war bad arter de war, I’m de loudes’ buttin nig ger you read ’bout in books wid de leabs all out and de kiver lost. Tradition of the Deaths of the Apostles. —Matthew is supposed to have suffered martyrdom, or was slain with the sword in a city of Ethiopia. Mark was dragged through the streets of Alexandria in Egypt, till he expired. Luke was hanged on an olive tree in Greece. John was puc into a cauldron of burning oil at Rome and escaped de*th. He afterwards died a natural death at Ephesus in Asia James the Great was beheaded in Je-- rusalem. James the Less was thrown from a pinnacle or wing of a temple,and then beaten to death with a fuller,s club Philip was hanged up against a pillar,at Hierapolis seity of Phrygia. Bartholo" mew was flayed alive by the command of a barbarous King. Andrew was bound to a cross whence he preached to the people till he expired Thomas was run through the body with a lance at Coromandel, in the East Indies. Jude was shot to death with arrows. Simon Zeloteswas crucified in Persia Mathias was first stoned and then beheaded. . “ THE NEW BOY.” Graphic Pen Picture—M. Quad in the Detroit Free Press. He made his appearance at one of the Union schools the other morning, and, ariving ahead of time, he prevent ed any scene of loneliness from siezing him by licking three boys and riding the gate off its hings. He went in with the crowd when the bell rang, and find ing no empty seat, he perched himself on the wood box. When the children repeated the “ Lord’s Prayer ” in con . cert, tiia new -boy kept time with his heel, and when they came to sing he ar gued that Variety was the spice of song, and attempted to sing one of his own— one about a gentleman named Daneil Tucker, who dreamed he was dead, and so forth. Tho teacher warned him to keep still, and he replied that he would not come to that school if his musical qualifications were to be overlooked. — When school finally opened the teacher secured his name and began asking him questions in-order to find out how he should be graded. “Can you spell ?” she asked. What kinl of spelling?” ho cau tiously replied. Spell * house/ if you please.” “ Frame or brick house?” he asked. “ Any kind of bouse.” “With a mortgage on it.” “You may spell ‘man’ if you will,” she said giving him a severe look. “Man ?” “Yes.” >• “I don’t care much about spelling man this morning, but I will this after noon. I’ve spelt it with my eyes shut ” “Do you know your alphabet ?” she asked, changing the subject. “Never had any,” was the prorrpt re p ] y- “Do you know anything about read- ing?” “I read like lightning !” he an® ed. . said : She handed him a reader “Let me hear you read ’ “Right out loud ?” “Yes.” a disturb the cliil “l’m a fra 5 / 1 Jren /o on ?,>' me hear you read.” jq 0 i oo ied carefully at the page, scowl’d ‘lis brow and read : nf I was a lame boy and didn’t get any peanuts in my stockins Christmas, dam my eyes ! but I’d make things jump around that house next morn- ing !” lie handed the book back and the teacher asked : “ Richard, how many are three and three ?” “Three and three what?” he inquir ed. “Anything.” “It’s is a good deal according to what it is,” he replied as he settled back.— “I know that three and three cats don’t make a dog !” “Did you ever study geography, Rich ard ?” “Yes, m*m ” “What is geography ?” “It’s a book.” “ Is this world round or flat?” “Hills and hollows !” he replied. “Richard can you wr : to !” “Wr>te what ?” “Can you write your name ?” “Yes, I could, but I’ve got my name 'vithout vriting it.” “Can you write a letter ?” “Who to?” “To any one.” “Yes, I could, if I had the money to pay the postage.” “Well Richard,” she said, in despair, “you’ll have to go into the lower room if you want to come to school here.” “I’ll bet you this knife again ten cents I can.” She took him by the arm to remove him, but he laid bis hand on her shoul der and said in a warning voice : “Don’t get me mad. now. or I’ll let myself loose. . She called the principal down, and as he approached the boy, he command ed : ‘ ‘ Roy, what are you doing here ? “ Gitting edienshun, replied Richard “l 7 ou go right down stairs now ! con tinued the principal. “Well, don’t sass me for I never was here before! replied Richard slow ly moving his legs as he meant to get down. The principal took him by the collar and jerked him around, got bitten on the wrist, and finally landed the young student on the walk. “Now go home ! he shouted as he tried to recover his breath. “Am I educated ? inquired Richard “You seem to be. “Gimme a diploma then. “You clear out or* I’ll have you arr rested. “Hain’t Ia scholar in this school no loner ? “No sir. “Who owns this school-house? de manded the boy. “No matter; you clear out. “Will you com 3 cut in the yard here where you can not hang to anything? asked the boy “ Begone, I say. “ D > not draw any darringer on me warned the boy, as he backed off; “nor do not think yoi can can scare me with any of your bowie knives. The principal walked in and shut the door, and after the new boy had stood there long enough to show that he was not afraid, he turned and walked afl growling to himself: “I will git the foreman of No 6 to pound that feller afore ho ts a week ol der.

( hurches are sp it in pieces by it. Neighbors are ma e enemies by it. It degenerates into a chronic disease which is practically in curable. Let the young cure it wlulo they may. Women are at a discount where there is no civilization. Thus it is a ous fact that among the natives of A rica the fair sex is more honored in tho respect which is sherwn to the cow than in that which the heaven-sent compan ion of man elicits there. Women have nothing to complain of in tins on the score of sex, but may fairly insist that the particular members of the r sex chosen for special honor should be of their own species. The superior respect accorded to cows too is entirely at vari ance with the spirit of modern intelli gence ; and until the mon of Africa re verses the present distinction agains • the wives of their bosoms, in favor of those who hold a less intimate relation with them there can be no favorable re sult of missionary enterprise. Ihe dif ference is merely a zoological one tho difference between a cow and a horse. It is exceedingly difficult for the mis sionary to persuade a true disciple of Mohammed that he should degrade his horse in a position in his family inferi or to that of a wife ; far more difficult, in fact, than to convince a native Afri can that he has transposed the proper relative position of the mother of his children and her too successful rival, the mother of his calves. In changing - his field of effort, indeed, from the sav ge stupidity of the negro raco to tho keen intelligence of the Arabic race, the missionary finds himself further from, rather than nearer to, the high est civillization Rates of Advertising.

The following from tin Hartford Evening Post we commend to all.— Gossip is one of the greatest social evils and ought to bo corrected to the greatest possible degree : What is the cure for gossip ? Sim ply culture. There is a great deal of gossip that has no malignity in it.—- Good natured people talk about their neighbors because they have nothing else to talk about. As we write there comes to U 9 a picturj .of a family of ladies. We have Seen t hem at home ; we have seen them in the gal leries of art; we have caught glimpses* of them going from bookstore or library,, with a fresh volumo in their hands When w r e meet them they are full of what they have seen and read. 1 hey are brimming with questions. One topic of conversation is dropped only to give place to another iu which they are interested. We havo left them,' after a delightful hour, stimulated and refreshed, and during the whole hour not a neighbor’s garment was soiled by so much as a touch. They knew some thing, and wanted to know more. They could listen as well as they could talk. To speak freely of a neighbor s doings and belongings would haver seemed an impertinence to them, and of course, an impropriety.
