They were
Marie Antoinette.
The
Tin-
Historr of a Beautiful but
fortunate "Woman.
Marie Antoinette Josephe Jeanne De
Lorraine was the youngest daughter of
Francis Joseph and the renowned Maria
Theresa of Austria. On the day of her
birth, Nov. 2, 1755, occurred the terri
Ue earthquake which laid Lisbon in
ashes, and caused the death of thousands
of human beings. Minds prone to look
upon such disasters as evil omens never
failed to recall this as one of the many
which attended the career of Marie An
toinette. As a child her bright looks, quick in
telligence and benevolently-affectionate
' nature made her the special, favorite of
' her royal parents. When, in. 1764,
Francis Joseph quitted his family to go
to Innspruck. which proved to be his
last journey, he ordered her to be.
brought to him just as his carriage was
ready to start, sayiug :
"Adieu, my dear little daughter. Fa
ther wished once more to press you to
Ids heart." ,
. This was the last time they saw each
other.- A few days after the Emperor
died at Innspruck, and the royal child,
then about 9 years of age, felt her first
. real sorrow. .
For two centuries and a half France
and Austria had been enemies. It had
ever been Maria Theresa's ambition to
increase the prosperity of her country,
and -she prided herself on putting an end
to this" enmity by 'an- alliance with
. France,- which she had contracted some
vears previously.
As her daughter Marie gave decided
; promise of the , marvelous beauty for
which she was afterward so celebrated,
'her imperial mother endeavored to ce
- mcnt the French alliance more closely
by proposing to Louis XV . a marriage
between the Dauphin, the grandson and
heir of Louis, and her youngest child.
Having this, brilliant destiny in view for
rie.v lovelv dnncrhter. the Empress had
.her portrait painted by French artists,
and caused her to be thoroughly instructed-in
the French language.
Metastasio, the favorite ccrt poet,
taught the royal maiden Italian, and the
great musician Gluck gave her lessons
on the harpsichord.
It is said' she did not excel in her
studies ; the was naturally too full of
life and spirits to be gravely studipus.
Sue was, however, always active in be
nevolence ; and, lxucg accustomed from
the noble example of her mother to feel
an interest in the welfare of the poorest,
she carried into the country of her
adoption a disposition ever leading her
"'to sympathize with sorrow, to succor
""misfortune and distress, and to be indig
nalrt at injustice and ingratitude."
By the 6pnng of 1770, . all arrange
. ments for the marriage of the Dauphin
with Marie Antoinette were completed ;
those of France being on the most
splendid scale, for the court of Louis
XY. was as celebrated for its taste and
magnificence as it wa3 notorious for its
. profligacy.
- Onthe'2Gth of April, the bride not
yet fifteen, quitted her Austrian home
to become the wife of a youth she had
n-ver seen, and to abide in a country
where she knew not one person as an
nhninhnPi For the last time though
she then knew it not she gazed on the
familiar scenes of her childhood, leaving
behind her forever her companions and
. playmates to whom she had warmly en
deared herself. ,
The parting between mother and
daughter was extremely affecting, and.
a mournful interest is attached to it
when we remember that it was the last
. ,time they were destined to meet
" The whole- population of Vienna
thronged the streets to see her depart,
; mingling tears of genuine sorrow with
their acclamations as thr-y followed her
carriage to the outermost gates of the
; city that they might gaze their last on
the darling of many hearts."
At Strasbourg, the first French city to
receive her, Marie Antoinette ceased to
be German and became French. By
the orders of Lpnis a magnificent pavil
; ion was built at this place. ; It was su
perbly decorated, and divided into two
compartments. Iii the first the youth
ful bride, after divesting herself of her
German clothing .and reattirmg nerseli
in costly vestments of French manufact
ure. Vade farewell to her Austrian at
tendants ; she then passed into the sec
ond division arfd received the French
officers of her new household as a French
.' Princess. .
The celebrated Ger man writer, Goethe,
at the time pursuing his studies at
Strasbourg, was present at thfe ceremony
and he noticed what he considered a
most inauspicious omen in the tapestry
decoration of the chief saloon. "It rep
resented the history of Jason and Medea,
' and the young poet could not avoid re
flecting that a record of tne most miser
able union related in anoient mythology
was an ill-omened ornament for nuptial
: festivities. ; ,
On quitting the pavilion, Marie An
toinette found in waiting the splendid

built for her at Paris.
marvels of the coachmaker a art ; one,
covered in crimson velvet, having pict
ures emblematical of the four seasons,
embroideredin gold on the principal
panels ; on another the velvet was blue,
with designs of the elements. On the
roofs of each were nosegays of flowers
carved in gold, enameled in appropriate
colors, and wrought with such exquisite
delicacy - thai every movement oc the
carriages, or even. "the lightest breeze,
caused them to wave as if they were the
natural produce oi the garden. H,
Along'- tho whole route the royal
and lovely girl-bride received a most
cordial and princely welcome. Proceed
ing by easy "Stages, she reached Com
piegne on the 14th "of May, where Louifl
XV. came to meet her, accompanied by
the Dauphin, who was only a few
months older than his bride, and whom
she then saw for the first time.
On the lGHi of May, the royal party
having arrived at Versailles, the mar
riago ceremony was performed in the
chapel cf the palace by " the Primate of
Franca the Archbishop of Rheims. A
canopy of a cloth of silver was held over
the vouthful pair, and after the Dauphin
bad placed the ring on the bride's finger,
he added, as a token that he endowed
her wiJh all his worldly wealth, a gift of
thirteen pieces of gold."
Tlu wedding festivities were not free
from several petty, vexations, caused by
the" jealousy -of court parasites, whoso
insolence toward the foolish and extrav
agant Louis XV. contributed so much to
mke him and his reign hateful and
despicable in the eyes of the French
people.
The numerous balls and banquets
given in honor of the royal marriage
were closed oh the 30th of May by a
magnificent display of fireworks which
unfortunately terminated in one or the
most dreadful catastrophes. The square
in which the display was exhibited was
crowded with pedestrians and carriages;
all was excitement and admiration at the
wonders displayed, when one of the ex
plosions set fire to a portion of the plat
forms on which the designs of the
different figures were constructed. In
an instant the delight of the multitude
was turned into the wildest terror ; the
uproar and the blaze made the horses
unmanageable, and in a few moments
animals ahd human beings were -mingled
in horrible confusion. At least 600 per
sons were supposed to have perished,
and as many more to have been griev
ously injured.
The Dan ohm and Daupniness were
greatly shocked at this terrible disaster,
and the tender heart of the young bride
not only moved her to give money tow
ard the relief of the poorer families, but
to visit many of them personally, so
that they might feel the sweet balm of
her loving nympathy and gentle speech.
Many are the instances related of her
erenerous interest in the misfortunes of
others, especially of the poor. She won
her way to all hearts. Even Louis XV.
steeped as he was in his vices, praised
her beauty and virtue in the hearing of
hi3 courtiers, exciting thereby the coarse
iealensv of his infamous mistress, the
Countess du Barri.
It, seems httle short of miraculous
how so young and so lovely a girl man
aeed to conduct herself with so much
tact and dignity in such a vicious court.
She was constantly surrounded by spies.
Not even her writing-desk was safe from
their Drvinar eyes, and it was next to im
possible for her and her husband to have
any private conversation. Yet, in spite
of all these irritating circumstances,
she had the satisfaction of finding her
pure and cheerful influence over the
Daunbin rapidly increasing. There is
abundant evidence to prove they both
desired to promote the welfare of the
French nation.
Just before the death of Louis XV.,
oTP;l T fUstrftsa existed in Paris, which tho
Dannhin and Dauphiness sought to re
lie vp. bv "a munificent donation from
tl . f -4 r i-tri vate purse. " Immediately after
thevcamo to the French throne their
very first edict was to announce that two
oU rptsnectivelv "Theeiftof
the" happy accession" and " lhe giraie
of the Queen," would not be imposed.
Disliking extremely the excessive eti
quette of, the Court of Versailles, it
was only natural that the gay-hearted
young Queen should sometimes long to
escape' from its trammels. Knowing
this, her husband, now Louis XVL,
gave her for her own use the celebrated
" Little Trianon," situated about a mile
from the Palace of Versailles on one side
of the park. In this 'delightful retreat
the innocent, sunny-tempered Marie
Antoinette was wont to amuse herself,
at one time feeding poultry, at anotner
makincr bread, ahd anon busying herself
in the garden. But even this charming
Bpot was not sacred from .. the malice of
her enemies, and some of her most inno
cent actions furnished food for slander.
As the years rolled on, and she gave
no sign of becoming a mother, her hus
band's next-eldest brother, the Cont
de Provence, made no secret of his in
tentions in respect to the French crown.
With all his kindness toward his beau
tiful consort, Louis XVL, was so phleg
matic in temperament, and so singularly
devoid of passion, that he canno be
onsidered to have pioved any thing like
a suitable guide and support to the brill
iant, high-spirited, Marie Antoinette.
For 'one in his exalted position, his edu
cation had been shamefully neglected;
thus all the worst and weakest faults in
his character remained uncorrected, and
in every crisis where decision, courage
and graceful tact were demanded, am
awkward timidity and inability to decide
for himself were but too paintully appa
rent ; and there can be no doubt that
these serious defects largly contributed
to bring about those terrible disaster
which ended in the ruin and death of
himself and his heroic wife. ....

years the storijn had been gathering
which ultimately expended its over
whelming force in the horrors of the
French Revolution. Singular to relate,
the popular fury was chiefly directed to
ward the hapless Queen. The old ani

Austrians appeared to blaze forth with
redoubled strength, and the fact of her
being an Austrian by birtu was nung s

How often docs it happen to see faim
ers worscg their horeea to wagons,
plows, or carts, with harness so. Ul-tit-t
ng, tattered and patched, that the
sis&t at once illicits pity from any human
person? For such neglect, there is no
excuse, as the amount of harness neces
sary for plowing is so small that only
the most careless and slovenly farmer
has any excuse to offer. Wagon and
cart harness are more elaborate and ,
complicated, yet even they are simple
enough to be manufactured at home, if
cert am portions are purchased at tho
saddlers, such as buckles, rings, traces
and hames. Collars, best suited to our
Southern climate, are made of shuoks;

Nothing betokens a poor improvident
farmer sooner than slouchy harness, to
say nothing of the damage they inflict
upon their poor dumb brute. When
an animal is requueu iujou'i

For instance, how would a man iih.e 10
follow a plow all day witn snoes. wmcn

them? Yet he would not suffer any
more than the animal with a collar too
small, or a back-band which gauea nis

many who apparently c are nothing for
these details, though in attending to
tlum depends in a great degree their
success.
On well regulated farms there is at
tache 1 to each barn or stable a harness
room, where after being used, the har
ness is carefully hung upon pegs, there
to rema:n until wanted; when a r&iny
dav comes, then it is overhauled, mend
ed'and oiled. By this means, they not
only last longer but are more comfort
able for the horses, and are proofs of a
thrifty management. . When harness
is purchased complete, cheapness is not
always a wise consideration, because a
