A TBUE FRENCH SOMAN CE , Knowing that the greeral class of readers are -more Interested to tale* founded npon tactt than fictioa, tfi give the following sketch, which, although rivaling many of those romantic pfc- "• tore* drawn by flctloti writers, is vouched for by an old English journal as being landed upono real lifcooeur- ; renco, and merely polished by the pen - i of the writer, A newly married couple j j bad J oat conn from the altar and were about starting on a bridal tour, as the following conversation took place: Tho newly married husband took one of his bride's hand's in his own. "Allow me," sttd be, " thin to hold your hand, for I dread lest yon should quit me. I tremble lest this should he an Illusion. It seems to me that I am the hero of one of those fairy tales which , amused me in my, boyhood, and which, ; In the hoar of happiness, some mallg- , nant fidry step* ever to to throw the , victim into grief and despair." { " Reassure yourself, my dear Fred- j eric," said tin- lady. " I was yesterday . the widow of Sir James Melton, and \ to-day l am Madame dc la Tour, your ] wife. Banish from your mind the idem { of the Bury. This is not a fiction but | a history." | Fredsricde la Tour, indeed, had some j reason to suppueo that his fortunes were the work of s fairy's wand; for - to the course of one or two short' , months by a seemingly inexplicable stroke of fortune, he had been raised ] to happiness, and wealth beyond his , desires. A friendless orphan, twenty- | five years old, lie had been tlie holder | of a clerkship which brought him a scanty livelihood, when, one day as he , * passed along the Rue. 8t- Honors, a rich equipage stopped suddenly before him and a young and elegant woman called from It to him. " Monsieur, „ Monsieur," said she. At the same time, on a given signal, t the footman leaped down, opened the c carriage door, and invited Frederic to enter. He did so, though with some | hesitation and surprise, and the car- c risgc started off at frill speed. t " I have redved your note, sir," said g - the lady to M. de la Tour, to a very , soft and sweet voice, "and to spite of , refusal, I hope to see you to-morrow evening at my party." | " To see me, klodnihc!" criod Fred- t eric. ( "Yes, sir, you— Ahl a thousand d pardons," continued she with on nlrof fl confusion. " I see my mistake. Forgive me, sir! you are so like a portico- , la r friend! What eon you think of me? Y'et the resemblance is so striking that t It would hove deceived any ooe." j Just oa these worda were uttatnl the carriage stopped at the door of a yplcn- t did mansion, and the young man could do no more than offer his arm lb lady * Melton, as the fair lady announced f herself to be. Though English to name, the fair lady, uevertlwlesa, was p of French origin. Her extreme beauty - t charmed M. de^a Tour, and he con- a gratulated himsoff upon the happy nci client which haAgalurd him such an n acqnaintancr. Lady Melton loaded li , him with civilities, and hdwas not ill- b certainly; but he had not the * vanity lo think his appearance was t> ' magnificent; and hit plain and scanty D wardrobe prevented I dm from doing d 1 credit to his tailor. a Ho accepted an invitation to the 0 I party spoken of, Invitations to other C - parties followed; and to be brief, the n , young man soon found himself ones- fa - tabllahcd visitant at the house of Lady li Melton. She, a rich and beautlftil « widow, was encircled by admirers.— w , One by one the)- disappeared, giving n way to the poor clerk, who seemed to h engross the lady's whole'thoughtt.— a Finally, almost by Iwr own asking, they h were berothed. Frederic need tu look sametlmes at the gins* which hung in his humble si 1 and wondered to whst circum- ai stances be owed his happy fortune. He n used lo coududc his msdlfatkas l>y tlie reflection that sssutttHy the lovely I willow was fulfilling some unavoidable h. destiny. As for his own feelings the f lady was lovriy, young, rich, ocoom- n pilshi-d and noted for her senaihiUty cr and virtoe— eoubf he hesitate? vi When the marriage contract was be signed his astonishment was redoubled, p: for lie found btoiaetf, through the lady's I the possessor of h*gr property tl both in England and France. The of the friends had certified and tl sanctioned the union, yet aa has been h stated, Frederic frit some strange fears, n to spite of himself, lest all should prove tl Illusion, and he grasped his bride's w hand, ai If to prevent bcr being spirited gi away from his view. Is "My door Frederic." said the lady re nBBKgty; "sr dawn bemfe mnraffiH tr say tomestog to you." tl The young husband obeyed, but be w not quit her hand- She began, u "Oncaon n time," Frederic started, a cos! itbafhiry tJc!" h "JjBttsi to me, foofch boy," re- di surned the. bride. " There was oooe a ,ol young girl, the daughter of parents h well-born, and at ooe time riqh, but u who had destined sadly lu dreumstan- ai ces.

She covered her "head with ber mother's veil, the only heritage '' she had Mcaired, and stooping, so as ■ to Stimulate age, she went out into the e street. Whan there, ahe held out her h hand. Altai the hand was whiter - yonthftd and delicate. She felt the ne- ■ ceaslty of covering it up to the folds of 1 her veil, at if it bad been leprous. Thus oooesaled, the- poor gill . held uofeher J hand to a young lady who passed— 0 ooe more happy than herself— and 0 asked, "a sou— a single sou— to get 0 bread!" The petition was unheeded. An old man passed. The mendicant 0 thought that experience of the diatrea- ' res of life might hare softened one like r him, but she was to error. Experience ' had only (imrdencd, not softened his 1 heart. " The night was oohlond stormy, and ■ the hoar bad come when the night po- - lice appeared to keep the streets clear * of oil mendicants and auspicious char- ' octcra. At this period the shrinking glri took courage once more to hold out - her hand to a passer by. It was a ' man. He stopped at the silent ' appeal, and diving into his pockets pulled out a piece of money, which he > threw to ber, being apparently afraid - to touch a thing so miserable. Just as did this one of the police sold to the ' girl: 1 "'Ah, I have caught you, have I? are begging. To the office with ; you! come along!' "The young man interposed. Hetook hastily of tlie mendicant, of her 1 whom be hod before seemed afraid to touch, and addressing himself to the policeman, said reprovingly: " ' The woman is not a beggar. Ho; she Is — she is One whom I know.' " ' Bat, sir ' said the officer— | 1 " ' X tell you that she is an acquaintance of mine,' repeated the young Then turning to the girl- whom he . took for an old and feeble woman, he continued:. 1 " ' Come along, my good dome, and permit mc to see you solely to the cud of the street, ' and giving his arm to the unfortunate girl, he then led her away, saying, ' here 1s a piece of a hundred Jt U all 1 have— toko it, poor ' " The crown ofa hundred sous pissed , your hand to mtod;" continued , the bride, "and as you walked along, • supporting my steps, I then through my roll, distinctly saw your face and t "My figure!" sold Frederic, in "Yes, my friend, your figure," returned his wife, " It was to mo that gave alms on that night. It was , my life— my honor, psrhaps — that you then saved!" " You a mendicant — you, ao young, , bcautiflil, and now so rich," cried ] .- | ! " Yes, my dear husband," she re- , plied, " I have to my life received alms , —once only— and from you; and those , alms decided my fete for life. ; " On the day following that miserable , night, an old woman, to whom I had me to enter as seamstress to a re-.

The result was that 1 sat down by my side, ooe day, and 1 asked me plainly If 1 would marry 1 "'Marty youl' cried I, to surprise. ' " Sir James Melton was a man of ' sixty, tall, pak and feeble-looking, 1 n to my cxclanuUionjjfaslonlrh- > mont, be said: ' Yes, I ask if you will be my wife? , ore rich, bnt have no comfort— no. , happiness. My relatives seem to yearn. | see me to my grave. I have, ailments which require a degree of kindly care that is not to be bought from ser- i rants. I have beard your story and believe yon to be one who will support t prosperity na well asyon have adversity, v moke my proposal sincerely and hope you will agree to IL' " At that time, Frederic," continued , the lady, " 1 loved yon; I hod seen you | twice, but that unco was too memo- , rsble for mc ever to forget, and some- ( always insinuated to me that we destined to pass through' life to- B gether. At the bottom of my soul, I believed this. Yet every one around pressed me to accept of the offer . imrtc me, and the thought struck mc 1 might one day, make yon , wealthy.

As the lady spoke she took from her K neck a ribbon to which was attached a 1 piece of a hundred sous. " It is the » some — the very same which you gave 1 me," said she presenting it to Frederic; ■ "by pledging it I got a litfle bread 0 from a neighbor, and I corned enough 4 afterward in Uroc lo permit me to "Ah, how happy I was, Frederic, ' when I saw you to tlie street.

In that cose you would never 0 have heard aught of this fairy tale, though I would have taken some means 1 to serve and enrich you. I would have j gone to England, and there passed my j days to regret, but still to peace. Bui, - happily, it was to be otherwise. You I wore single." Frederic de la Tour was now awak3 cued, as it were, to the full certainty of - his happiness.

I do a not better* that lib right to my to bcr i, that the Lord hit token away her 0 child. She has thrown It away by disci regarding to its can the laws of health." 1 This, itis plain, is a strong statement; i, but does tt go ao very for beyond the 0 truth oa It at firat thought aeoma to do? ! e Let us see. e There is a marked contrast Uitwoen - man and other adlmals as to the frc- - quency and variety of disease. Let ' 1 the comparison be mode to regard to . i those which come under the control of ' . man, and ore therefore exposed to - somewhat similar Influences— horses, 1 t cattle, etc. They are by no means as \ t snl(ject to ifiacas*. as men are. The difference is greatest when we look at r the period of infaney. Tlie vonng of i these animals seldom sicken and die, e while a very largd proportion of the e human race die to infancy, i Why this contrast? Is it owing to - 1 a difference in original constitution — > to the organization and its functions? > There is no evidence of this, for tlie 1 functions of digestion, respiration, circulation, nutrition, or growth, etc.. are . performed in these animals -very much , 1 tern, and therefore we naturally sup- . • pose that they would be quite as liable | > to derangement if they were performed r Tlie question then arises, is then | ' any difference in Hie circumstances 1 adequate to account for the difference , ! of rasultt? If there be such a differ- , ' ence it must come obviously from tlie j ■ mind of man. for It is here that the e»- | 1 senUal difference between him ami , other animals lies. And yet, so superior is he to this respect to them that ^ one would think him less liable to | ' disease, from the intelligent control , 1 that he can exercise over external eir- ' cumstanccs. This would he a legiti- . 1 mate inference if he were a pure being, ' and had the wisdom which would uc- , ' ccssarily come from purity. But sin | J rules In this superior mind of man, and , ' moves to sinfol indulgence, which in ' all its various forms mare the physical : organization, and renders It liable to ( 1 disease. A signal example of tho effects of such indulgence we have in tlie , ' use of alcohol. Ho brute animal drinks | ' this poison, but its use as a beverage is 1 a prolific source of disease to men. - Then, besides the wrong use of external circumstances, we have the ef- ^ fects of sinfol passion to all its varied farms. That this exerts a wide influ- . sues in the production of disease there ' Is no doubt, though its working is lo a ' great extent secret. ' | There is still another cause — tlie un- * ' wise use of the mental powers. Tlie | use may be cither excessive or wrong 1 _ in character. This may lie seen to all [ the activities of life that tax particu- ( lorly tlie intellect, but especially dur- 1 ing tin- education, while mind and brain ' are growing to maturity. The brute 1 ' animal lias no tendency to disease com- 1 ing from these mental sources, which 1 so commonly to man give rise to eon- ' 1 grot ions and other changes of ihe brain, 1 ' to a great variety of nervous maladies, 1 I and to disease of organs in various 1 ' quarters from their sympathy with the 1 brain. It may bo prqjjerly remarfa-d | ' hero, that it may be tliaKhc hare fifct ' - that man has a mind so ahfereut in 1 some of its qualities from thnTsf the 1 brute, increases the liability to phy»» 1 ■ col derangement, aside from the iuflu- ' I ence of sinfol propcnsqlos «r of the un- ' i wise use of the mental powers, for the ' > addition of such high mental cudowI incuts creates a wider complication 1 f than exists In the system of brute oni- 1 I mals, and complication always adds to ' the risk of disorder. Iu estimating the influences of wliieh 1 »-c have spoken wc must remember ' I that they do not end with the indivld- . nal. but descend to the child, and mgy ( , accumulate through successive gencras tions. Sometimes disease* tlyniselves "are transmitted, but more often it Is ] . tenm-nciro to disease or morbid characteristics whit-It become hereditary. It ' , is the accumulation of tliese tendencies : . In the course of generations that must ] account U> a large extent for the greater i readiness with' which sickness is gene- j , rated to man than in other animals, ( t when both are expiswd to similar ex- | j ternal Influences. What occurs to the , , individual Is not alone adequate to ao- , count for it Pcrhapa it will be said that there ore , maladies |asqiHar to mankind which ( ■nay account f(rjhe difierence iu the | aggregate of disaSe. But may there j 1 not be a folr oflset Jo tbi* to the maluI dies wlildi are peculiar to animals? — ] , It Is true tliese appear to be less than < those which ore peculiar to man; but ~ ,ter may really come from transgreaoion i t df hygienic laws Instead affixed extra- I , We will barely suggest here Use to- I quiry whether there is not more of di*. | I ease to domesticated than in wild oni- ] | mals, and because they ore brought i . under the inftnence and control of man, i Instead of being left entirely to their I | natural inclinations, i ( Ifthe views which we hp ve presented I . lie ommeuus— if thrdllferrace between man and brute animals in .regard to I ( the prevalence of disease be not nttri- i , bu table to U*>*nus4 sfcttiooed - we i ' are driven to the cooriusiou that there i is implantttl by the Creator to the rery ' I eoustituUon of man % tendency to i tin- oignuisilion id morbid, and nut a hudtliy one— u proposition of which I there is not the sUgbfcat proof, and . which Uic mind instinctively tqjectt. , ' As. the view which we have pre- .
