“The picture for a half-crown ! ” vociferated the 
crier; “that i6 not dear.” 
Jacques Berangbr was going away when a voice 
outside the crowd cried, 
“ One hundred francs! ” 
The priest stopped; with one hundred francs the 
landlord would be more than paid. He would 
gladly have embraced that unknown friend. 
“Two hundred francs!” said another voice. 
A murmur ran through the crowd. In revolu¬ 
tionary times, when the religion of Christ was 
prohibited, it was almost a crime to purchase a pic¬ 
ture of a religious subject. Notwithstanding, a 
stranger penetrated the crowd, and, casting about 
him a disdainful look, cried, 
“ Five hundred francs i ” 
“Eight hundred!” said a broker. 
“One thousand!” returned the stranger. 
“ What is all this, Monsieur?” two officers, who 
were passing, asked of Jacques. 
“They are selling my stock of furniture, Mes¬ 
sieurs,” humbly replied the old man. There is a 
picture which reaches already one thousand francs. 
I did not suspect such riches were mine.” 
“Oh! let us see that,” said the elder of the two 
officers, after having regarded the old man with 
emotion. 
“ Ten thousand francs! ” cried he, before enter¬ 
ing the crowd. That cry caused an opening to be 
made, and he soon found himself in ecstacy before 
the canvas. The surprised stranger added in his 
turn — 
“Fifteen thousand!” 
But the officer offered anew — 
“ Sixty thousand ! ” 
The murmur of the crowd increased, and with 
deafening shouts they addressed the bidder. 
“Respect genius t ” cried the officer. “It is the 
work of Rai-hael, a very celebrated painter. I shall 
offer it as a rich conquest to the French Govern¬ 
ment.” 
That man was one of the bravest Generals of the 
Republic. 
Judge of the joy of the poor family ! Jacques

“ Will you share my cart ? It is tne same which

It was night when they entered the city of Arras. 
The eartman would not accept any reward ; the old 
man embraced him, and took his way toward the 
dwelling where his nieces had concealed themselves 
during the reign of terror. In a miserable attic two 
young ladies were sealed, at work. An earthen 
lamp lighted the sad apartment, which contained 
no fumitnre except a worm-eaten bed, a table and 
two or three chairs. The two young ladies sewed 
in silence. Joan, the elder, with lowered bead, 
dropped team upon her thin, white hands. Mar¬ 
guerite, the younger, watched her, unperceived, 
and Beemed to make an effort to keep back her 
grief; at length, not being able to restrain it, she 
breathed a long sigh. J oan having raised her eyes 
to her sister, regarding her with tenderness, said: 
“ Marguerite, yon know the precept of our good 
uncle,—Gox* is the Master; what He does is well 
done.” 
Then she wa6 silent, and both continued to work. 
resumed Marguerite, “where is 
perhaps he is dead.”

The wind is roistering out of doors. 
My windows shake and my chimney roars; 
My Elmwood chimneys Seem crooning to me, 
As of old. In their moody, minor key, 
And out of the past the hoarse wiud blows, 
As I sit in my.arui-chair and toast rey toes. 
“ Ho! ho! nine-and-forty,” they seem to sing, 
“ We saw you a little toddling thing, 
We knew you child and youth and man, 
A wonderful fellow to dreum and plan. 
With a great thing always to come—who knows ! 
Well, well! 'tie eotne comiort to toast one’s toes. 
“ How many t imes have yon sat at gaze 
Till the mouldering lire forgot to blaze, 
Shaping among the whimsical coals 
Fancies and figures and shining goals! 
What matters the ashes that covers those? 
While hickory lasts you can toast yonr toes. 
“ O dream-ship builder -' where are they all, 
Yonr grand three-deckers, derp-chested and tall, 
That should crush the waves under canvas piles, 
And anchor at last by the Fortunate Isles ? 
There’s gray In your beard, the years torn foes. 
While yon muse in yonr am-chair and toast your toe 
I Bit and dream that I hear, as of yore, 
My Elmwood chimney's deep-throated roar: 
If much be gone, there 1? much remains; 
By the embers of loss 1 count my gains, 
Yon and yemre with the best, till the old hope glows 
In the fanciful flame, as I toast my tocB. 
Instead of a fleet of broad-browed ships, 
To send a child's armada of chips 1 
Instead of the great, guns, tier on tier, 
A freight of pebbles and grass-blades sere!

I growl, as. half moody, I toast my toes.

What is the difference between a hungry man and a 
glutton ? One longs to eat, and the other “eats too long. 
“ Come, Bill, it's ten o’clock, and I think we had better 
be going—for it's time honest folks were at home.” 
“Well, yes,” wa9 the answer; “I must, be off, but you 
needn't hurry on tliui account.” 
Heat expands — cold contracts,” answered a school 
boy to a question of bis pedagogue, and when asked to 
give an explanation he said:—''In summer the days are 
long, in winter the days are short.” 
“Lizzie,” said a little curly headed hoy ol'some five 
years, ' isn't Sam Slade a buster?" “Why, Charlie?” 
“Because the grammar says positive buss, comparative 
buster, and I did see him give you such a positive busB." 
A good story is told of a bootblack whose energies 
were taxed by the huge shoes of a private just returning 
from the war. The little fellow, kneeling down, looked 
over his shoulder to a comrade, anil exclaimed:—"Lend 
me a spit, Jim : I’ve got an army contract.” 
A thirsty qnaker having stopped at a tavern to get a 
pot ol' beer, and observing that the measure was defi- 
cieut, asked the landlord now many casks he drew in a 
tnoDtb. “Ten,’’ wu« the reply. “And wouldst thou not 
like to draw eleven, my friend?” “Yes.” “Then I’ll 
tell thee how: fill thy measures.”

A urn'I'i-lman in the west of Scotland, celebrated for 
his wit, was conversing with a laay, who at last quite 
overpowered by the brilliance and lrequency of his bon 
mots, exclaimed:—“Stop, sir! there is really no end to 
youT wit,” “ God forbid. madam,” replied the humorist, 
" that I should ever be at my wit’s end.” 
At Lynn, Mass., a school teacher asked a little girl 
who the firs; rmin was. She answered that she did not 
know. The question was put to tnc next, an Irish child, 
who answered loudly. "Adam, sir,” with apparent satis¬ 
faction. “Law," said the first scholar, “you needn't 
feci so grand about it; he wasn't an Irishman.” 
Somebody asked Baron Rothschild to take venison. 
“No,” said the baron, “I never cat venison: I don’t 
think it is so coot as mutton.” “ Oh,” says the baron’s 
Jriend, " I wonder at you saying so; if mutton is better 
than venison why does venison cost so much more?” 
"1 Till tel) you vy; in this world the people always pre¬

Mn. Toot, coming home Tate one night, was met at the 
door by his wile. “Pretty time ol night, Mr. Toot, lor 
you to tome home—three u clock in ibe morning; you, a 
respectable man, arid father of a family 1” “ ’Tisn't 
three —it'? only one.” “My word, Mr. Toot, you’re 
drunk. It's three in the morning.” “I say, Mrs. Toot, 
I heard it strike one as I came around the corner, two or 
three times l” 
“Poor uncle, 1 
he now ? 
“Oh, do not say that,” 
thought tnakeB me afraid; and still in the distress 
in which we are, would it not he better that he Bbould 
be in heaven ? God will have been merciful to him.” 
“Joan,” returned Marguerite, “God has already 
pitied us since lie has sent us work, when so many 
poor ones are without; at least, we shall have bread, 
and how many have none! Oh, God Is good.” 
“ YeB, God is good since He has left us together.” 
At these words the two young ladies embraced each 
other, and resumed their work. 
At that moment some one rapped at their door. 
The two frightened sisters trembled and crept close 
together; by looks they were questioning each other 
of what should be done, when a second rap still 
louder, increased their perplexity; but a voice out¬ 
side cried — 
“Joan, Marguerite, it is I, open to me!” At 
that well-known voice, Marguerite hastened to 
open the door, and received in her arms her good 
uncle, the venerable Jacques Berangbr. Joan, 
unable to move, remained seated; sheregarded with 
a frightened look the good old man whom she be¬ 
lieved dead, or at least, in a cell. 
“ Well, what is the matter, my Joan?” said he, 
taking her hands; “do yon not know me ? it is I; 
it is your uncle.” At these words consciousness re¬ 
turned to the young lady, a long sob escaped her, 
and without the power to offer a word, she sprang 
forward upon the neck of the old man. 
“Is it possible,” said Marguerite, “that you 
have returned? for always, is it not? Oh, no more 
troubles are possible — you are here! ” 
Then the old man related to them what had 
happened, and how he had been restored to liberty. 
After that Marguerite and Joan opened their un¬ 
cle’s miserable room, which they had kept closed 
during his short absence, and he re-entered it, bless¬ 
ing the Lord with all his heart, for He had never left 
him. 
Two years glided away in assiduous- labor. It 
seemed light to the young ladies, for their work 
maintained him who had received the orphans. 
Notwithstanding, their quiet was to he disturbed, 
for God 6ends painful trials to His faithful ser¬ 
vants. The merchant lor whom Joan and Mar¬ 
guerite worked, failed and ran away, carrying with 
him a large sum which he owed them for work com¬ 
pleted; and by his departure and work suddenly 
failing them, they found themselves without bread. 
It became necessary to sell their clothing, little by 
little, that the good Jacques Berangkr might be 
Ignorant of their painful situation, even to the last 
moment. 
Christmas had come, in the fourth year of the 
French Republic. The landlord of the two rooms 
occupied by the uncle and nieces came to collect 
rent for the half year. Alas! they had nothing with 
which to pay it. He was a harsh man; he became 
angry, and Jacques Berangbr learned for the first 
time the destitution of the little family. Joan 
and Marguerite vainly entreated the landlord, re¬ 
vealing to him their poverty. 
“ What will yon do ? ” returned he; “ fine words 
will notpay[me, the Government is not content with 
such coin for taxes; seek another shelter; your 
furniture will remain; that is scarcely sufficient to 
pay me.” 
“ Oh! sir,” said Joan, “all here belongs to you ; 
but I beg you to leave us that picture—it is an heir¬ 
loom ; my sister and myself have a particular affec¬ 
tion for it.” 
“ All here is mine, the picture with the rest, or 
you must find the money ! ” 
Jacques Berangbr remained mute with astonish¬ 
ment. He could scarcely articulate a word in favor 
ef the request of his nieces. 
The same evening an officer arrived who ordered 
them to pay in twenty-four hours. Poor children, 
they went to bed very sad. All night, through the 
thin partition which separated them from the old 
man, they heard'hitn sigh and groan. 
The next day the officer returned: in the name of 
the laudlord he seized all the furniture, and some 
days after, a bill posted on the door, announced that 
a poor stock of furniture would be sold on the pub¬ 
lic square. At noon they carried away all; the two 
young ladies and the old man remained together. 
Joan and Marguerite wept in silence. The good 
priest, dejected and cast down, leaned against the 
wall, for he hadjDOt even a chair in which to sit. 
The officer returned, made a minute search, and 
said in an agitated manner, 
“Pardon me for adding still to yonr grief, but 1 
exercise a rigorous duty: it is necessary that I 
should take the key of this room.” 
He was not bold enough to tell them to leave. 
Jacques Berangbr understood, and, taking his 
nieces by the hand, and casting a last look about 
the dwelling which had^heltered him and bis during 
the tempests of the revolution, he went out. A 
poor neighbor was on the step of her open door. 
Without uttering a word she pointed them to her 
room, which act signified — “There is all I have; 
let us share it.” The two weeping sisters entered. 
•‘You see, my children,” said the good priest, 
God does not abandon ns. Have courage!” 
At the appointed plate they were selling the fur¬ 
niture; the table, the chairs and the beds were 
already sold; only the picture remained. Jacques 
Berangbr approached, and with moistened eyes 
looked at it for the last time. 
“Let ns see,” said the crier, how much for the 
picture ? ” 
“ A half-crown,” said a merchant.

Prof. S - was a physiological lecturer who 
traveled from one end of the country to the other, 
displaying his posters to the best advantage in coun¬ 
try towns. Among the attractions of his exhibition 
were askeleton and a manikin, the latter very perfect 
of its kind, and capable of being taken apart, bit by 
bit, till nothing was left but a vast pile of muscles 
and other parts ol the human structure. Prof. S- 
was a big wag in bis way, aud did not confine his 
drollery to his audiences. In one of the rural places 
out West he chanced to have for a bedfellow a ver¬ 
dant farmer who was absolutely so green that, he 
had never seen or even heard of artificial teeth. 
Before retiring for the night the conversation turned 
upon the facility with which a soldier stopping at 
the tavern used his artificial leg, and the Professor 
astonished trie verdant farmer by telling him that 
some men were almost completely artificial, and 
predicted that the time would come when a man 
might he false throughout, having a stomach in 
which food might be.placed, and with the addition 
of a spoonful of pati lit gastric juices, have the food 
quickly digested, adding slyly that he himself was 
greatly dependent on the manufacturer for his 
present existence. With these revelations the 
countryman dared hardly look at him, 
On retiring for the night, the lecturer purposely 
attracted the verdant’s attention by removing his 
wig. When, however, he opened his mouth and 
quietly removed his teeth, the verdant, terrified by 
such a performance, hurriedly jumped into bed, and 
burying his head beneath the sheets, tried to lose 
himself in sleep. This the lecturer prevented by 
inarticulate muttering?, stating that he would ex¬ 
tinguish the light, as he was rather ashamed to be 
seen taking himself apart. 
Opening the closet door, he carefully took his 
manikin apart, and bringing out his nicely cleaned 
scull, proceeded to arrange the lungs, hearl, kidneys, 
intestines and other parts of the manikin in various 
conspicuous parts of the room. The washstand, 
table, bureau and chairs were partly littered with 
the apparatus. While busy at this work, he gave 
utterance to numerous painful howls and groans, 
fairly making the verdant’s hair ?taud on end. He 
imitated the winding up of his lungs in readiness 
for the morning, and, after sundry other tricks, 
jumped into bed, carrying with him the cold wash¬ 
basin, which he purposely backed up against the 
warm body of his bedfellow, who nearly jumped out 
of the bed from the contact, and through the night 
clung to the extreme verge of the bed in fear. 
The Professor had his eyes open early in the 
morning to witness the fuu. Buried in the bed¬ 
clothes, wilh one little peep hole through which to 
watch the proceedings, he waited. The verdant 
soon slipped out of bed and started for his pants, 
when his eyes fell on the glistening skull. A morbid 
fascination led his eyes around the room, and taking 
in the whole horror of the display at once, he 
grabbed his clothes, and with one long howl of 
terror and despair, rushed headlong from the room. 
The lecturer instantly jumped out of bed, and 
quickly dressing, skipped down stairs, where he 
met the countryman, half out of his Mils, trying to 
explain the necessity of leaving before breakfast. 
The appearance of the lecturer so quickly put 
together completed his fright, and with another 
howl, he flew from the tavern and from the village 
to his home, where he related the astounding 
character of a Yankee who could take himself apart 
as easily as oue could butcher aud cut up an ox.

revolution. He had been reported and arrested for 
preaching rebellion. The three other prisoners 
were Sisters of Charity, accused of aristocracy, they 
who had taken upon them the vows of humility! 
The old priest, repeated in a low voice the sad Mise¬ 
rere, and the bisters responded to the verses. 
The day began to dawn. Light clouds floating in 
the air grew purple with the first rays of sunlight, 
while in the west, still in darkness, the stars seemed 
to send forth their light to wrestle with the rising 
day; but gradually they grew pale, and seemed to 
Bink away in the azure of Heaven. I he bird6, out 
of their nests, began their early lays, announcing 
the awakening of Nature. At that magnificent spec¬ 
tacle, perhapB the last they were to see, the prison¬ 
ers were silent in admiration of the works of God, 
and tears ilowed from their eyes. 
“ l’erhaps God, the Creator of these marvels, casts 
upon ns a compassionate look, said the old priest ; 
“ let ub raise our hearts to Him,” and with a grave 
and solemn voice he began to pray. 
At that moment one of the policemen cried out 
to the eartman to quicken his speed, and, under the 
whip of their master, the horses took a more rapid 
gait. Four hours later they arrived at Cambrai, and 
directed their course toward the prison ®f the town. 
Since morning, Cambriebe, the prosecuting at¬ 
torney, had been in prison preparing a list of those 
who should that day be called before the revolution¬ 
ary tribunal. At the Instant the cart entered, two 
turnkeys took from it the old priest, who was called 
Jacques Berangbr, aud placed him in a corner of 
the prison-yard. They had already untied one of 
the sisters, when the jailor unexpectedly arrived, 
and said: 
“ But, citizen Cambriebe, I have no room to lodge 
these aristocrats 1 ” 
“ Well, then, do not trouble yourself about it,” 
replied the prosecuting attorney; “ I will send them 
directly to the revolutionary tribunal; they will find 
me there.” And, by a sign, the turnkeys abandoned 
the cart, which was conducted to the place where 
Cambriebe and Lbbon held their courts. The old 
priest was forgotten in the yard. 
“Here is onel” said one of the jailors; “the 
citizen Cambriebe will not have his number.” 
“Bah!’” replied another, “he wiU, without 
doubt, be left until to-morrow; he has enough of 
them for to-day.” 
Jacques Beranger was shut up in the prison 
with twenty other prisoners, while the farmer ami 
his compagnes de voyatjn were conducted to the tri¬ 
bunal, and an hour later the same cart conveyed 
them to the guillotine, on the military square. 
The next day the citizens Cambriebe and Lebon 
were not to sit in the revolutionary court. Tho 
third day they were about to resume their terrible 
functions, when they received the news of the event 
of the 0th of Thermidor, (the eleventh month of the 
calendar of the first French Republic, from July 10 
to August 17,) which smote Kobesluerke, annihi¬ 
lated the power of his adherents, and threatened 
them with the same scaffold on which they had 
caused so many victims to perish. The streets of 
Cambrai echoed with cries of joy. A part of the 
people proceeded to the military square and over 
turned the guillotine reddened with so much blood, 
while others hastened to the prisons, broke open 
the doors, rescued the prisoners, and bore them 
away in triumph. What joy to those unfortunate 
ones who believed death to be their destiny,—who 
now saw the gates of liberty open before them! 
Each among the crowd found a relative, a friend, a 
brother, a wife; there were smiling and tearful em¬ 
braces. Jacques Beranger, the good priest, al¬ 
though he was one of the last to leave the prison of 
Cambrai, was in haste to return to Arras, where 
the two young ladies, his nieces, bad remained. So 
with a hasty step he took the way to his humble 
dwelling. He was walking on, thanking God for 
His infinite kindness, when he saw a cart, the driver 
of which was watering his horse at a fountain near 
the road. 
“Ah! is it you, ".Monsieur Beranger? you here 
free?” said the eartman on perceiving him. “Well, 
I am very glad.”
