“ Did you hear anything of the mill's stopping 
for the 22d ?” asked one of the boys. 
‘‘Yes,” said Rachel, with a quick glance at her 
mother; “but 1 hope not.” 
“Why, Kate Fkenchlt,” broke out Tom, “aint, 
that mean of you?" 
“Well, Tommie, how are we going to pay the rent 
if we all three lose the day’s pay? If Mr. Archer 
would only give us the day and pay us too, I would 
go out to see aunt Hattie,” with another glance at 
the worn mother. Rachel had grown bo accus- 
les, indeed, it is I. But you — what are you 
doing here ? ” 
“I,” said the young woman,” am waiting for my 
turn to pass on. I am going to sell my greens and 
vegetables at the market.” 
At that moment the wagons began to move on ; 
she of the straw hat applied the whip to her horse’ 
told M. de Talleyrand the name of the village where 
she was living, requested him earnestly to come and 
see her and disappeared, leaving him as if riveted to 
the spot by this 6trange apparition. 
W'ho was this yonng market woman ? Madame 
la Comtesse do la Tour dn Pin, (Mademoiselle de 
Dillonj the most elegant among the ladies of the 
Court of Louis XVI., King of France, and whose 
moral and intellectual worth had shone with bucIi 
dazzling luster In the society of her numerous ad. 
mirers and friends. At the time when the French 
nobility emigrated, she was young, lively, endowed 
with the most remarkable talents, and like the ladies 
who held a rank at the Court, had only time to attend 
to such duties as belong to her highly fashionable 
and courtly life. 
Let any oue fancy the sufferings of that woman, 
born in the lap of wealth, and who had breathed 
nothing but perfumes under the gilded ceilings of 
the Royal Palace of Versailles, when all at once she 
found hereeir surrounded with blood and massacres, 
and saw every kind of danger besetting her young 
and beloved husband and infant child. 
They succeeded in tly iug from France. It was their 
good fortune to escape from the bloody land where 
Robespierre and bis associates were busy at the 
work of death. Alas! In those days of terror the 
poor children themselves abandoned the parental 
roof, Tor no hiding place was secure against the vigi¬ 
lant eyes of those monsters who thirsted for innocent 
blood. 
The fugitives landed in America, and first went to 
Boston, where they found a retreat. But what a 
change for the young, fashionable and pretty lady, 
spoiled from infancy by loud and continual praises 
of her beauty!

MISCELLANEOUS ENIGMA, 
It is oDly in legend and fable, 
The fairies are with tip, you know; 
For the fairies are fled, little Mabel, 
Aye, ages and ages ago. 
And yet I have met with a fairy— 
You needn't go shaking your curls— 
A genuine spirit, and airy. 
Like her who talked nothing but pearls ! 
You may langb, iT you like, little Mabel, 
I know you’re exceedingly wise; 
But I've seen her as plain uh Pm able 
To See unbelief in your eyes. 
A marvellous creature! I really 
Can't say she is gifted with wings, 
Or resides In a tulip, but clearly, 
She's queen of all beautiful things. 
Whenever she comes lroin her castle, 
The snow fades away like a dream, 
And the pine-cone's icicle tassel 
Melts, and drops into the etream. 
The dingy gray moss on the boulder 
Takes color like bright burnished steel; 
The brook puts its silvery shoulder 
Again to the dripping mill-wheel! 
The robin and wre n fly to meet her; 
The honcy-bcebums with delight; 
The morning breaks brighter and sweeter, 
More tenderly falleth the night! 
The roadsides. In pastures and meadows, 
The buttercups, growing bold, 
For her sake light up the shadows, 
With disks of tremulous gold. 
Even the withered bough blossoms, 
Grateful for sunlight and rain— 
Even the hearts in our bosoms 
Are leaping to greet her again! 
What fairy in all your romances 
Is such an enchantress as she, 
Who blushes in roses aud pansies, 
And sings in ihe birds on the tree?

CHARITY’S RETURN. 
BY HOWE BENNING, 
The sun shone into no pleasanter breakfast-room 
than Mr. Archer’s oh the morning of the twenty- 
second of February, of a year that shall be number¬ 
less in onr calendar. There was snowy linen, while 
china, sprinklings of silver goods, and, best of all, 
a pleasant little lady presiding over the coffee urn, 
wearing just now, however, a thoughtful frown and 
with eyes Intent upou a gentleman opposite, and 
that gentleman her husband. At the side their 
only child, a bright, rosy-cheeked little fellow of 
five years, was taking advantage of the preoccupa¬ 
tion of father and mother, and treating puss under 
the table to choice bits from his own plate. 
“ You will, Ralfh,” Mrs. Archer broke the 
silence ; “ you have not given them a holiday since 
the Fourth.” 
“ Bnt I cannot afford it, Aggie ; they may have 
the day, but 1 caunot pay them for play time.” 
“ It will not be a play lime to many if they feel 
they are losing money by it, aud we will not notice 
it, Ralph, out of our many comforts. ‘Shall not 
the strong bear the burden for the weak ? ’ ” 
“ Well, little woman, how much of the burden do 
you think your shoulders could carry ? ” 
“The weight of that promised fruit basket, 
Ralph. I will wait another year for that. Only 
give them the day in the fullest sense.” 
“You are eloquent, Aggie," bnt there was a 
tremulous softness in the tone, aud a look in Mr. 
Archer’s eye6 as be turned them upon his wife, 
such as we only see in our friends’ when for a mo¬

their presence. “They shall have the day, but I 
must go now,” and the man of business buttoned 
up his overcoat, drew on his gloves, aud then 
stooped^to his boy's rosy lips. 
“ Can’t I go to the factory with you this morning,

In 1 70S M. de Talleyrand was in Boston. (Inc day, 
while crossing the market place, he was compelled 
to stop by a long row of wagons all loaded with veg¬ 
etables. The wily courtier, generally so dead to 
emotion, could not but look with a kind of pleasure 
at these wagons, and the little wagoners, who, by- 
the by, were young and pretty country women. 
Suddenly, as the vehicles came to a stand, the eyes 
of M. de Talleyrand chanced to rest upon one of the 
young women, who appeared more lovely aud 
graceful than the others. 
An exclamation escaped from his lips. It attracted 
the attention of the fair’onc, whose country dress 
and large hat bespoke daily visits to the market. As 
she beheld the astonished Talleyrand, whom she re¬ 
cognized immediately, =he burst out laughing. 
“What! is it you ? ” exclaimed she.
