W'i:h ii try of joy she discovered a plain gold rin-j, h.ilf buried amid the dust ; Bo nni:trie jr-izeil upon the action with emo tions of cttruMtty, und inquired the reason lor the coiiccnhiieni of so trifling n jewel "Inyotir e-t'3, my friend,'" cxeldiiftud Jo sephine, 44 'its of no valun ; in mine, it's worih the treasures of India. 'Twas a iresoni lidin my mother, and as I but lurry here us in ihe visiihule to the sc.-tlFoff, I w.is unw illing that so sacred a gift should lie sullied oy ilie touch of an rxecutiSher." Id late days,' afirr the failure of his deplorable fitiempt upon Boulogne, the Prince Louis Napoleon wus incarceraled in ihe dungeons of the Luxembourg, where he consoled himself by upostrophiiiiiijr, the glory ol his uncle Like bis fair relative, i he prison may be the mere stepping stone lo uii imperial throne. The persons men tioned as liie narrators of the touching and ihiihtng Mory appended, trnnsiuied from the French o! AIM. Louis IflTrine nnd Mau rice Alliey, wus the celebrated Camille Desmoulnis, who, on the 12ih July, 17d9, mounting upon u table in the gardens of the Puluis Royal, and learing down a few leaves from a tree, displayed ihe revolu tionary cockade, and proclaimed tho coun iry in danger the true commencement of the old French Republic, nnd Fabre d'Eg lttnline, a forciblv poet, and democratic ora tor, executed along with his friends, Dan ton, Oesuioulins, VVestennnn, Herault, who joked wuh the executioners; and others of the Mountain party perished the thirteenth Germinal, (April 5th,) 1794. The wife of Desmouhns, a beautiful and accomplished In.ly of but twenty-three years, followed her husband to the scafTod wilbtn two wer ks. Mine. Itofand, Charlotte Cdrday, anu me wite ol Ouinille, are ever ranked as ihe noblest martyrs io re voliinonary fury. " I discovered a hssure in iny prison wall; there I applied my ear, und heard a deep moan, I Hazarded a few words, und I beard the voice of it suffering invalid. He asked my name, which I gave hitn Good god !' he exclaimed, mid toll back upon his bed of sufferui''. Then 1 distinctly recorrnized -r j o the voire of Fabre d'Eglantine. ' Yes, 1 I am Fabre, he added with a sigh, 'and thou ; nil hero I the comre-revolution is indeed . accompluhed.' " Thus Caimlle Desinoulins the tribune 'of ihe Palais Royal, called forth by the ! emergency of the li(h of July, ihe friend of L'aniou, of Robespierre expressed himself ; from the dungeon of the Luxembourg in 1 a lelter to his wife his teslametitarv af V Llltt fin iniervicM? what a singular After the spectacle of the recognition ! (jironduis, who sported with the guillotine io experience tne sad reality of death, what ; more touching scone, in an ulmos. incredi ble tragedy, can be presented, than this meeting of two prisoners, -such as Cumille Desmoulins and Fubre de'Eglaniino I At such a moment, which to ihem wos invested with nil the deadly solemnity ot the last hour, neither let fall from their iy ing hpsauy reproach any murmur against their friends Of yesterday, who on the mor row were 10 be convened into accusers and judges. The first few words were calm, somewhat sad, cold and resigned : then i hey commenced a conversation which last, ed 'all' I be night a sort of adieu, nronounc ed by two orators, to poets, to literature, to imagination, to poeiry. VVhO woulJ believe it? thit within a prison, which touched ihe very foot of the sCanolu, these two captives uegged each other io quote tiie weeie&i passages from the literature of their age tbeir country; lo evoke, in thought, the illustrations, the the uiuaierpitces, the glories of oetic France. From the history of books they pissed to die history of men ; from written dramas to real ones; from the imaginary tragedies of the singe, to the si ill living tra gedies of the revolutionary theatre; from heroes of pot houses to those of ttfe public squares ; hoin the tribunes of Rome to the demigods of Puns ; from Cicero to the Gi ronuius ; from Cataline to Robespierre ; from the b'euate to tr.e Convention -from the death of Cesar to that of Louis XVI.
