We do not know how much we love Until we come to part, How strong the tendrils are that bind An object to the heart ; The tree,beneath whose branches we In infancy have btrayed, The flower8,the friends of early youth With whom we oft have played, Are things o'er which we mourn and grieve, .In pleasure and in pain, As memory brings them back to us From out the past again, We linger still amidst the scenes That we have loved ao well. While recollections fond and pure Within our bosoms swell ; And to their shadows still we cling. Even while they do depart; For memories that we thought bid Come crowding on the heart ; And though the star of hope may shed Its beams ui)0n our way ; Yet "Farewell" 'a a bitter word For those who love to say. N. Y. Ledger. New York Ledger. MADAME ROLAND. by James parton. 1XCEPT Charlotte Corday and Marie Antoinette, none of the female victims of the French Revolution excited so much interest and compassion as Madame Roland. It was she who on the scaffold bowed to the colossal statue of liberty near by and said : 0 Liberty ! how many crimes are committed in thy name !" These last words ot a biave and gifted woman have been since a thousand times repeated and have become domesticated, as it were, is ;;il languages. Madame Roland, born at Paris in 1854, was a daughter of an engraver iu extensive business. Of seven children she was the only one who fiurvived infancy, bat she possessed vigor enough ot mind and body for a family. , There has seldom been f ,o precocious a girl. She tells us, in her memoirs, that at four years of age she read with so much ease that nothing more was necessary than to supply her with books, and that she read all ordinary books without having to refer to her par ents. Her father was neither a wise nor a good man ; bat he took so much pride in the remarkable talents of bis child that ne provided her as liberally with instruction, both in the useful and the orna mental branches, as if she had been a little princess. All the day, she tells us, was em ployed with her masters, or in pres paring for their coming ; and as this abridged her time for their reading, she used to get up at five in the morning, when a profound stillness reigned through the bouse, and steal softly without her shoes to her mother's room, where her darling books were deposited, and there she would read and stady until break fast time. With all this passion for learning, she was an obstinate and proud lit tle body. Particularly, she revolt ed against personal chastisement, and gave her father, she says, many a good bite when he whipped her. She lefased one day to take some nauseons medicine, and her father attempted to whip her Into a com pliance with tne doctor's prescript tion. Two severe whippings iaiK ing to accomplish the object, her father prepared to administer a third. All at once, she relates, her tears ceased to flow, and the whole force of her being wan concentrated in the resolution to submit jto deith itself lather than yield. Sne pre sented her back in silence and awaittd the crnel strokes without a sob "My lathei says she, "might have killed me on the spot, but he would not have drawn irom me a single sigh. I experienced the same inflexible firmness that I have since felt on great and trying occa sions ; nor would it at this moment cost me more to ascend undaunted" ly the scaffold toan it then did to resign myself to brutal treatment, which might have killed but could not conquer me.'1 .Her mother, beeing her resolu tion, drew ti6f husband from the room, and put her daughter to bed Returning at the end ot two hour., she implored her with tears to take he medicine. The girl took the cup and swollowed the medicine at one draught. It a few minutes, na ture itselt rose iu rebelion against the noxions compouud and cast it forth. She was but seven years of age when this scene occurred, and fiooi that lime she never received a blow ; and her father discovered tlinr, with so intellig6ut a childj kindness succeeds better than vio lence- At an early period of her life, at tacked by the picturesque ceremo nies ot the Catholic church and the gentle piety of the nuns of a neigh boring convent, she became ex tremely religious. She was weaPed from the faith of her ance9sore, as our Franklin was, by reading con troversal writings. The arguments, she says, which were quoted by Catholic authors in order to refute them, let her into the secret of the objections usually brought against the faith, and, instead of being cured of her doubts she was confirmed in them. From being a devotee, she became a deist. In due time, also, by reading the liberal authors of her country, she became au enthusias tic republican, and was prepared to weleome the Revolution before it came. She grew into a young lady ot commanding beauty, and many of fers were made for her band. When she had refused several matches, which her father thought advanta geous, he became a little impatient. "TeU me," he said, one day, "who it is that will suit you V "Tell me, also," she replied, "why, iu bringing me up you taught me to think and allowed me to contract ha hit 8 of study. I know not what kind of man I shall marry. 1 know only he must be oae who can share my sentiments and to whom I can commnoicate my thoughts." . "But there are business men naid her father, "who possess both politeness and information." "Yes," she replied "but not of the kind I want. Their politeness con bists in a few phrases and bows, and their knowledge relates to the cash box, and would little ass:st me in the education of my children." "You might educate them your self," said the father. "Hard would be the ta8k,r she answered, "if not snared by the man to whom they would owe their existence. I conceive that the stiictest union ot hearts is necessas ry to happiness in marriage. My husband must even be my superior ; for since both nature and the law give him mastery, I shonld be ashamed of him if he did not really deserve it." "You want a lawyer, I suppose' said her father. "But women are not very happy with tho66 learned gentlemen." "Afon Dieul" she exclaimed "I do not judge a man by the profes sion he follows. I want a man I can love." Such conversations were frequent between herself and her parents They had educated her, in fact, to such a point that no man whom she was likely to meet would satisfy her affections. Chance, however, brought to her abode at iength a gentleman and a scholar, John Ro land ; a man of considerable learn ing, respectable birth and moderate fortone; who held a post under gov ernment. After her first interview wirh him she thus described him in a letter to a friend : "I beheld," she wrote, "a man somewhat more thau forty years ot age, ta 1, negligent in his appear auce, and w th that kind of stiffness in bis manners contracted by study. His person was thin, his complex, ion yellow ; his lorebead, sparingly furnished with hair and very open, did not injure the regularity of his features, which, however, it renders ed more respectable than pleasing. When he became animated in con versation an extremely subtile smile and a lively expression which pre vaded his countenance made him appear quite another person. His discourse, fall ot facts irom a ueaa aboaoding in ideas, occupied the judgment rather than flattered the ear,r Iu other word", he was a bald, ungainly and studious old bachelor, and very far from being worthy tbe love of such a woman in the prime of her beauty. She respected more than she loved him ; but their ac quaintance ended iu marriage, when he was forty-six and she twenty six. To this respectable mau she was at once secretary, nurse and wife, undifound a certain happiness in the punctual discharge of her du ties. The Revolution broke out. R. !and was elected a deputy to pie sent Lyons in the National Assem bly at Paris, where he sided at first with such radicals as Mirabeau, Danton and Robespierre, who met four times a week at his house Called, at leugtb, to the Ministry of the Iuterior, he bad a play which was full of difficulties and danger. It was during bis ministry that tbe massacre of the 10th of August took place, and of that massacre he became the apologist. "The people," he said, "I know are terrible in their vengeance, and jet there is a kind of justice iu their vengeauce." He did, however, try to save the life of Louise XVL, by attempting to have the question of bis death submitted to the people. He de sired to stay the f ary of tbe ex treme revolutionists and stop tbe thedding of blood; but he had neither the nerve nor the command i ig character needful at the crisis. Dissmissed from the ministry, he Lid from Paris, leaving his wife be l ind him. No one then supposed Mat her life or her liberty was in t anger. Sbe, indeed, during the f rst years ot the Revolution, was t ie pride and boast of theextrem i -ts. Her writings in the journals it favor of tbe Revolution were s nong tbe most popular of the t me. But when her just and be nevolent soul recoiled from tbe at r )citie8 of Marat and Robespierre, 8 le fell under tbe ban, and a frivo lous pretext was found for her ar T3St. During the five months of her de tention, she was wonderfully cheer ful and composed. She passed her me in writing her memoirs, and in a-inistering to the wants of the poor wretches around her, who had nothing but the prison fare. Sbe denied herself coffee, chocolate and wine, lived upon the plainest fare, a ad appropriated tbe money thus saved to her fellow-prisoners. She was resolved not to be subdued by h-jr confinement. 'If I remain here six months," said she, "I will engage to leave the place with a bloom upon my cheeks and a body not emaciated ; for I have reduced my wants so that I cau thrive well upon bread and soup and tne blessings of the mis erable." After a ridiculous pretense of a trial, she was condemned to die. Her first thought was, as she says, to spare her country the shame ot another judicial murder by taking opium, and thus terminating her own existence. But, upon reflection, deeming this unworthy of her, she resolved to meet her fate. She was carried to the place of execution up on a cart. There was one prisoner in the vehicle with her a man, who, however, was less a man than she. She confronted the hootiogs of the populace with more than serenity with cheerfulness and so raised the drooping spirits of her compan ion, that a smile at last appeared upon his countenance. Sbe begged him to ascend the scaffold first, that be might not be afflicted and un manned by tbe spectacle of her deatb. But this the executioner could not permit. Sbe asfced, also, but in vain, permission to write, in order that she might record tbe feelings she had experienced and tbe thoughts she had conceived while on her way to the scaffold. Her last words bave been given above and a few seconds after she had ut tered thdm the ax of tbe guillotine severed her beautiful head from her body. Her husband had an ignoblerend A few days after tbe news reached him of his wife's execution, he left the hou3e in the country, in which he had loug been concealed, and, drawing a sword from bis cane, he placed the handle of it against au apple-tree and pressed tbe point t; nough his heart. He was found the uext day eittiug upon tbe grass a id leaning against tbe tree in so nitural au attitude, that the passer by at first supposed him to be asleep. The .only daughter of this ill starred pair survived the horrors of tl e Revolution, and was afterward happily marred to one of their frieuda. Keep a Scrap Ilcok. I advise every boy and girl to keep a scrap book. If you are ten oi fifteen or twenty years old keep a icrap book. Let me tell you why ai.d now: Huureds ot things you set) that you would like to keep, but if you lay them away you will nev er be able to find them when you w;mt them, When 1 was a ooy I did net have sense enough to keep a scrap book. I begun some but did net keep on long with them. My memory was good, but I can now remember many thrngs tbat I cs.n't remember. Wdat that means is this: I remember reading a beautiful piece of poetry, of which two or three lines I can call up, but tie whole I can'c recollect. In seine cases I do not know the name of the writer. I have seen many fine pictures in magazines and papers that would now be valuable and interesting. Souielcut out, but tehy are lost. Ciarming stroies, wise remarks, P'overbs, directions for doing a great many useful and curious tt ings are also lost. So much do I feel that I have lost tl at I would give $50 apiece for the scrap books of each time 1 was ten ti.J I began to preserveathibgs, only a few years ago. There is a gentleman who has kept scrap books since he was euht years old. He is now forty? acd has been arranging them in volumes, with an index in tbe back of each one. You wculd hardly thtnk tbat tbe earlier woild be of much use to him. But they are. He often amuses himself as he reads them for he sees how little he knew when he was little ; but also finds a little tbat he thinks valuable. Be sides, his children are mnch inter, ested to see what their father had collected and pasted in books. The older he grows tbe more useful tbe books become. He can go to his books and in a few minutes get in formation about everything tbat has happened iu hU whole life tells you about the civil war, tbe Cri mean war, the Italian war, tbe overthrow of Louis Nepoleou, and many other things just as they were published in tbe papers at the time the event happeued. His scrap book also coutaius many funny things, which provoke a smile and often a merry laugh as he reads them to his family in tbe long winter evenings. Tbe children would rather hear him read from bis scrap books than from tbe newest story. If you have no scrap book get one and put in it whatever pleases you. If you bave one and have not used it take it up again. I assure you that you will be very glad of it af terward. If I can persuade you to do this for twenty years, or even bait that time from now, jou Mill feel that you have learned something valua ble from this article. Christian Ad vocate. SPECIMEN CASES.

The Cranbury furnace now makes coke iron, which it sells at a high price In Pittsburg for Bessemer steel purposes, but this furnace was not originally for using coke. It is a small furnace lutended for charcoal iron. The new coke furnace, tor the building of which a contract Lias just been let, will be located at Greensboro, and will be owned by tbe North Carolina Steel and Iron Co., of tbat city. The Manufacture era' Record has often referred to thin company and Mated its inten tion to build a furnace to make Bessmer iron, but it had so long de layed the matter that many had for gotten the organization of the com pany. The building of this furnace opens the era ot iron making in North Carolina on a large ca'e, for tbe iron ore wealth of tbat State is so great that it must become a great iron producing section.
