A LONG DELAYED INHERITANCE.
The following is the account giveu iu ihc Jour
nal (h r Aisne of what the editor rightly heads
an “Histi'triciil R.>manco;"
“What wo are about to relate is iieithor a ^fory
Dur % romance; it is the true history of a family
of our country in the environs of Lioii, several
members of which reside in that city; a fuiuily
which until recently seemed of very modest origin,
but which, however, descends fr )iu a gr.indoe of
Spain, noble in 1455, conseijuently no\>le tr nn
the beginning of time; a family which of latt* h:is
only lived by its daily labor, and which i* abiuit
t.> contend for all its fut:ir«' iM'rh^ips with one of
the most illustrious ami richest families in Frani*i'
Here art! in all thoir simplicity and in all tlinr
interest the facts which we have just h';ird, :iiid
which arc supported by authentic doounu'iits.
“About till- middle of the 15th century l>>n
Magis Hnizlebor, Count of Loi^rono, of Hurgos
and of Halty, Lord of Molina, took service in
France. He fought in the Low Countries during
the great revolts of the Flemish citii's against
Philip the (rood, Duke of Hurirundy, of Hralciut,
of Luxemburg, Count of Fiauders, il.iinuult, I've ,
that great vassal who endt-avort'd to >h.ike otlf^’r-
ever the yoke of royalty und ol his sovorcigi; i in‘
Count de Logrouo eommnnded, at the battlr ot
Kovineri, the army of the fanjous l>i?iiop ot Litge,
Louis of Hourbon, who in the interest of I'ranee
sustained tbeu the party of the revolted cities, and
later fell a victim to a new sedition, turned tint
time against himself.
“The Flamands were defeated, and the t'ouiit
de Logrono having been made a prisoner fell int"
the bands of the Duke of Hurguinly, who shut
him up in the fortress of l’oil-de-\ aehe. It was
a custom still in those semi-barbarous ages to put
to death prisoners of war wlioeould not pay dearly
fur their liberty. The Count de L >grono was
very rieh; he offered a magnitieent ransom ‘tosave
his life,'’ as the singular aet whieh isiii>w iiKiues-
tion reads. He w as released from prison at this
priee He abandi'ued to the Dake of Hurgundy
the use of the greater part of his estate, and the
Duke anil his deseendants cujoyod ii during the
space of f"Ur hundred years, whieh beiriu the
oOth of .July, 1455, and ended with the liarve^-t
of 1*^55, after gathering in of whieii lnrv. ?t tin -«e
estates were to revert ti> the heirs -.if the C 'unt of
Logrono.
“The following are tlie principal details ef rlii.-.
agreement. It was pas-ed and si;:ned on the ;;>>th
of July, 1455, says Count l^ igr'iio, ‘by a hand
whieh had so Ion-: held the »sv ird t-i det> iid I'V-
ally the saered cause of my master and Lord
Alphonso V, Kinj: of J'pain.’ He abandoned to
the Duke of Burgundy for the payment of liis
ransom ‘the enjoyment i4’ a great portion of uiy
estate,’ he adds f>>r the ‘term ■ f f^ ur centurio'.’
the plans and titles of which are here joined under
the following eoiiditious; ‘That at the time fixed
the estates shall be restored to my descenilants
and heirs without expense or litigation Having
this guarantee, I swear on the H >ly (J .spels that
I am the sole possessor, l>rd and master of all
those estates and \assals whieh are situated in the
county of Logrono, iu that of Natuur, Hainauit,
Ardennes, Vusges, and L irraine, enmpri.'ing all
my lordships, which are comp >sed "f six castle^
and their dependencies, and vast landed estates
of all kinds.’
If Philip of liurgundy should at any time fail
of direct heirs, the estate was to revert to ti\e
heirs of Logrono. One of the conditions settled
to whom shouid belong the harvest uf the year in
which the estate was given up t j the original
owner. The Duke of Hurgun'ly sw.>re on the
crucifix and with a solemn oath that Le w.>u!d
compel, under penalty of being disinherited, all
his descendants to act loyally toward 1* in Magis
Knglebor Logrono, his prisoner >f war, who yields
him his estate for the t> rm >d' four i-enturie'. that

THE CHILD AND THE MOURNERS.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.
A little child, beneath a tree,
Sat and chanted cheerily.
A Hitle song, a pleasant song,
Which was—she snug it all the Jny loag—
••When the wind hlows the Mossoms full.
But a gooil God reigns over alll”
There passed a lady hy the way.
Moaning iu the face of d»y:
There were tears upon her cheek,
(ilrief in her heart too great to speak,
Her liushaiid dioJ but yester nii)rn,
And left her in the world forlorn.
Siie stiij'p'd and listen’d to the child,
That look'll to Heaven, anti, singing, smiled;
And saw not, for her own despair,
.Another lady, young and fair.
Who, also passing, stoj'p’d tj hear
The iulaul's anthem ringing clear.
For she. hut a few sad days before.
Hud lost the little bube she bore;
.\nd griel was heavy at her soul.
.As that sweet memory o'er her stole.
.And show'd how bright had been the past.
The present drear and overcast.
And as they stood beneath the tree.
Listening, soothed and placidly,
A youth came by, whose sunken eyes.
Spake of a load of miseries;
And he, arrested like the twain,
t?topj>’d to listen to the strain.
Death had bew’d the youthful head
Of his bride beloved, his bride unwed;
Her marriage robes were fitted on.
Her fair youncr face with blu'lies sImuo,
When the destroyer sni ite her low
And changed the lover's bliss to woe.
And these three listen'J to the song,
ilver-toned, and sweet ami strong,
Wliioh that child, the livelong day,
(.'h.'iiit-.'1 to itself in play;
•■When the wind blows, the blossoms fall,
r.ut a good Good reigns over all.”
The widow’s lips impu’.siTe moved;
The mother's grief, thou:j;h unreproved,
.''often'd. as her trembling tongue
Kept-ated what the infant -uiig;
And the sad lover, with a start,
I'onn’d it over to his heart.
.And though the chiM—if child it were.
And not a seraph sitting there—
Wai seen no more, the sorrowing three
Wont on their way resignedly.
The si.ng still ringing in their ears—
:i» it music of the spheres'.'
W lio shall tell ' They did not know,
l!ut in the midst of deepe.t woe
The »train recurr'd when sorrnw grew.
To warn them, and console them t 'n;

di iiee, and the u-e of sueh means a- he hath ,>ane-

bread alone, but by the word of Idessing whieh
pri'ceedcth out of the mouth of Cod; yet that word
is by Ciod anticsed to bread, and not to ston.-s;
and that man w iuld not trust tlod. but muck and

Nehemiah’s wa-y — he prayed to n>d, and he peti

This was lideon’s way against the Midianites —

timony of obedience. Player is sometimes called

I’yng d'.-livere.l an i ulo^'V in ‘•OM W unen,” at
the anniversary of the A"-'ciation for the relief
of Aged Indig' nt Females at New York. The
Tribune’s n-port has the t'.illowing:
There is a great dilVerenc>- beiwct-n old women
and old iiii-n. The bibK- 'peak-J of “motlu-rs in
Lrael ” I).)rs it anywhT'- speaV: of “fathers in
I.'rael?” A man, when he get.s old and and gives
up bu'iness, or ‘•retires,” becomes imperi >us, un
easy and unple.asaiit He withdraws himseifinto
habits of iiitr.iver.'ion If he is a cigar-suioker,
he sui-ik(‘s all the day b'ng If he is a newspaper
reader, he reads it through ever\’ day, advertise
ments and all [Laughter ] Or else you will
often catch him down town in his own or Home
body else’s counting house Ho is unca.sy if he
is not there, and you will gen>‘rally find it most
eomfort-*ble to let him be there. [Laughter ]
The only way to get work out of an old hor.se is
to him at work; and the 011I3' way to make
an old man worth anything is to keep him bu.sy.
An old soap-boiler in this city retired from bus
iness to a country residence on Staten Island to
“take it easy;” but he .soon got sick and sent to
town for Dr. Hosack. The doctor went to see
him, and wrote out a prescription, ‘Go back to
New York and take a turn again at boiling soap.”
[Laughter ] Old mm get gouty; they are con
tinually getting cold. The draught somehow al
ways will be blowing on their necks This is
the reason why we don’t hear of “fathers iu
Israel;” but—dear mcl I can take you round St.
George’s church and show you whole scores of
“mothers in Israel” [Laughter.] True benevo
lence is kindness towards those who c.in never
pay back. I take an orphan boy and bring him
up—I can get my pay out of his hide. But to
take an old woman, so far as this world is con
cerned, there is nothing to be made out of her.
[Laughter.]
A Liberal Puhhshcr.—Here is an instance of
a publi.sher’s liberality which cannot be left un
noticed. The Rev. ]^Ir. Caird preached a sermon
before Queen Victoria at Balmoral That lady
was pleased, and desired its publication. A
friend of the preacher took it 10 lilackwood, in
Edinburgh, who, though “down” on sermons as
unsaleable commodities, offered £100 for it,
trusting to the circumstances of its delivery to
make a sale. The sum was beyond the dreams of
the preacher, and was accepted immediately. A
few months after a letter from Messrs. Black
wood informed Mr. Caird’s friend the sermon
had sold so well that they begged him to forward
to the reverend author another check for £400,
which they enclosed. 82,500 for a sermon! The
liberal spirit of the publishers cannot be too
prominently held up for example. It needs no
telegraph to inform us that every writer in the
land says amen.—States.

The latest and most wonderful cure eflfected by
a patent medicine is the following: A boy had
swallowed a silver dollar. None of the faculty
could devise any alleviation, whereupon the in
ventor of patent medicines was sent for. ‘It is
evident,' said he, ‘that so considerable a coin can
never be forced by any emetic known to science.
However, let him take this pill, and flattering
consequences will be likely to ensue.’ An hour
afterwards, the boy threw up the dollar in small
change, principally five cent pieces.
