CHAP. 1 .— Mariette. La Napoule is, to be sure, only a very small place on the Bay of Canne ; nev- ertheless it js known to everybody in all Provence;. \*' It lies in the shade of ever- greens, high palms and dark pomegra- nates. Now that gives it no particular celebrity. But they say it raises the brightest clusters of grapes, the sweetest roses and the most beautiful maidens. I do not know it, yet I readily believe it. It is a pity that La Napoule is so small, and cannot possibly produce enough of \those fiery clusters, sweet roses and pret- ty girls; otherwise we might, even in our country, obtain somewhat from that place. If, ever since the building of La Na- poule, all the La Napoulese women have been beauties, then without doubt, the little Mariette must have been a wonder of all wonders, tor the Chronicle affirms\ thus rirach of her. To be sure they call- ed her only little Mariette ; but she was not smaller perhaps, than in general a child of seventeen years and over would he, whose brow reaches just up to the lipa of a grown-up man. The Chronicle of La Napoule had suf- ficient reasons for making mention of Mariette. In the place of the Chronicle I would have done the same ; for Ma- riette, who, with her mother Manon, had np to that time, lived at Avignon, when she returned to her native place, turned it almost upside down. Not indeed the houses, but the heads of the people ; and- moreover, not the heads of all the peo- ple, but particularly of those whose heads and hearts are always greatly endanger- ed by the immediate proximity of two soul-full eyes. I know that. In such crisis there is no joking. Mother Manon would have do^e bet- ter had she remained at Avignon. But she inherited a little property in La Na- poule ; she received there a small es- tate, comprising one vineyard and a neat cQJtege-in, the shade of a rock, among the olive trees and African acacias. Such a provision no poor widow would refuse. Now she was in her own opi nion, rich and fortunate, as if she was the Countesa of Provence, or some such personage. The good La Napoulese fared so much the worse. They had not foreseen such misfortunes, and never read in Homer that one pretty woman could bring all Greece and Asia Minor into trouble and contention. CHAP. n.— How the Misfortune came. Scarcely had Mariette lived a fort- night in the house among the olive trees and African acacias, when all the young La Napoulese knew that Mariette lived there, and that no more charming maid- en dwelt in all Provence than in that very house. When she went through the village, floating lightly along like an angel in disguise,\ in her fluttering gown, dark- green boddice, with an orange blossom tret) up with some rose-bads upon her bosom, and flowers and ribbons waving upon the grey hat that shaded her pret- ty face, then, indeed, the old men at once became eloquent, and the young men dumb. And everywhere, windows and doors-flew open one after another, on the right hand and on the left: \Good morning*\ they accosted her, or \ Good evening, Mariette.\ And she, smiling, nods to them on the right and left. .iviien Mariette walked into church, all hearts (that is to say of the young men,) 4eft heaven j alL.eyps left the holy virgin, and the finger^of those praying lost their place on-the beads of the rosa-. ry. Surely that mast oftentimes have given great offence, especially to the pi : crus. ] ... At thia time the young maidens of La Napoule were, without doubf, particular- ly pious, for they were moat offended. And they could hardly be blamed for it For since the arrival of Mariette, more than one suitor had become cool, and more than one accepted lover proved faithless. There were then many quar- rels and reproaches on all hands ; and many tears, good advice and refusals. Indeed, there was no more talk of mar- riages, but of separations. They even sent back the pledges of truth, rings and ribbons. The old peopje joined in the quarrels of their children. Strife and contention flew from bouse to house. It was a dire calamity. Mariette is to blame for it alt I said the pious girls ; then their mothers said so ; then their fathers; and at last all, even the young men. -•». But Mariette, wrapped in her mod- esty. and innocence, like the out-bursting glow^f-the cose W.in ha darlcgfeea. great calamity aid ooatioued kind to ill. CHAP. in.— Of Wicked Colin. But all men have not this gift of ten- der compassion, but some are ohdurate of heart, like Pharaoh, 'i his comes, no doubt, from the natural depravity of man since the fall ; or because the wicked spirit waa not duly dismissed by baptism. A notable example of such hard heart- ed men is found in young Colin, the rich- est farmer and proprietor in La Napoule, who could hardly run through his vine and olive gardens, his citron and pome- granate groves, in one day. The natur- al depravity of his disposition appears in that he was almost seven and twenty years old and had never asked himself why woman had been created. AH people, indeed, but especially fe- males of a certain age, at which they readily forgive sins, considered Colin as the best young man under the sun. His form, bis lively, unembarrassed manner, his look, his smilo had the good fortune to please the aforesaid people, who, if required, would probably have given him absolution for one of the sins which cried to heaven. But it is not good to trust altogether to the verdict of such judges. In the meantime old and young at La Napoule had become reconciled to the harmless Mariette, and throagh pity had become attached to her. Colin was the only one who continued without compas- sion for the dear child. If any one be- gan conversation concerning Mariette, he was dumb as a fish. If he met her on the road, he turned red and pale with anger and cast right withering glances after her. When the young people assembled at evening on the shore of the sea, near the old castle ruins, to join in merry sports, a rural dance or an alternate song, then Colin never failed! to be present— But as soon as Mariette came, the spite ful Colin was still, and would sing no more for all the gold in the world. Pity! for his voice was so charming! Every one was glad to hear him, and he was in- exhaustible in Songs. All the girls were glad to see the wick- ed Colin, and he was on friendly terms with them all. He had, as before said, a roguish look, such as young women fear and love ; and when be smiled, his portrait should be painted. But of course the oft-ofiended Mariette would not even so much as look at him. And in that she was perfectly right—Whether he smiled or not, it was the same to her. She did not like to hoar any one speak of his roguish, look j and there again she was right.—Whenever he told a story (and he knew very many) then all listened attentively, bull she kept nodding to the girl next to her, and threw tufts of grass now to Peter, now to Paul, and laughed, and chattered, and heard not Colin. That would vex the proud gen- tleman, and he would break off in the middle of his story and go away grieved. Revenge is sweet. The daughter of Mrs. Manon then\ might well have tri- umphed. Bat Marialte was altogether too good a child, and too tender-hearted. If he was silent, it made her sorrowful. When he became sad,, she wa§ no longer disposed to laugh. When he went away, she would not stay long; and when she was at home, she wept mora beautiful tears than Magdalene,, and yet had not sinned half so much. CHAP. rv.— The Pitcher. The Parson of La Napoule, called Father Jerome, an old man of seventy years, had all the virtues of a saint, and only this one fault, that, on account of his great age, he was extremely hard of hearing. Nevertheless* hjs pleaching was the more edifying to his children by baptism and confession and they alt heard him gladly. To be sure, he preached continually from only two texts, as if his whole religion lay therein. Either—'Lit- tle children, love omo another;' or—* 'Little children, the dispensations of Heaven are wonderful. 1 But there is, in fact, so much of faith, love and hope in these two, that by observingfhem one might perhaps, on a pinch, get on very well. The 'little children\ did love one anothdrj very obediently, and wait- ed with hope the dispensations of Hes> en. Hard-hearted Colin was the, only one who would give'no attention uY these thingi—Eyen Ifjje. tfeegngd. tqjbe friend- ly, he had sonie^'v?! design.; * , The Napoulese a|waya loved to,;go tQ the Afihiial friiratj (the cj^y .offence* On such an .occasion-there was*,jolly time ; and although little money* yet K greaj. variety of wweekv-JSow iMariette was with mother.

But in fact it wastt real beauty, of the most costly transpa- rent porcelain, with gilt handle., and the brightest colors. Some one timidly en- quired of the merchant; \ Sir. what is the price ?\ And he answered: \ It is worth a hundred livres, at the very least. Then they were all silent, and went away. As soon as there was no one from La Napoule standing* before the shop, Colin came slyly along, ihrew the merchant a hundred livres upon the counter,' put the pitcher in a box suafjEeawith cot- ton, and carried it of£ Bi^_fischievous plan, no one knew, Near La Napoule, on his^v home, just at dark, he met old Jacques, tbe-eerv- ant of the Judge, who was coming from the field. Jacques was a well meaning man, but very stupid. \ I will reward you well, Jacques,\ said Colin, •' if you will carry this box to Mrs. Manon's house and leave it there. And if any one should see you and ask where the box comes from, say, \ A stranger gave it to me.\ But never bring out my name ; if you do, I shall always be angry with you for it\ Jacques promised to do it, took the re- ward and the box, and went with it to- wards the little bouse among the olive trees and African acacias. CHAP. v.— The Bearer. Before he came to the house, his mas- ter met him, Judge Hautmartin, and said: \Jacques what are you carying ?\ \ A box for Mrs. Manon. But, Sir, I ; dare not say from whom.\ » Why not ?\ \ Because Mr. Colin would forever be angry with me for it\ \ I am glad you can keep said she j • it is too pretty to drink frorri; • 4br> *he dOor'and feu^iedjo Iterself.

For a whole fortnight there was _o talk in La Napoule of anything besides the pitcher. And everybody said it was h present from the Judge, and the wed- ding V&3 already appointed. Moreover, where Mariette solemnly declared to her mates that she would rather wed the bot- tom of the sea than tbe Judge, the girls only went oh teazdng her the 'more, say- ing : <r O, how delightful it must be to rest in the shade of his nose 1\ Tbirwas the first vexation. Then, Mather Manon made the cruel resolve that she wfegjd compel Mariette to rinse the pitcher every morning at tbe spring near the rock, and to fill it with fresh flowers. By this means she hoped to accustom Mariette to the pitcher and the heart of the giver. But she kept on hating gift and giver. And the work at the spring waa a real punishment to her. Second vexation, Then, when she came to the spring in the morning, there lay, twice in the week, upon a corner of the rock, always close by, some of the prettiest'flbVers, nicely arranged, prepared properly to grace tbe pitcher I And around the flowers-stems was always wound a strip of paper, and thereon written \Dear Mariette.\ Now it was in vain for peo- ple to attempt to convince Mariette that Sprites and Frairies still inhabit tbe Earth. Of course, then, the flowers, and the tender address, too, came from Mr. Hautmartin. Marietta would not even smell of them, just because the breath of life had whistled around them from the Judge's nose,—Meantime she took the flowere because they were better than the field-flowers, and tore the strip of pa- per into a thousand pieces and strewed them upon the phrce where the flowers a secret ![usedtolie. Butieven that did not vex But it is already late. Give me the box; i Judge Hautmartih, whose rove was as in- I am going to Mrs. Manon's to-morrow comparably great initsdrind, as his nose on other business.

Wherefore he opened the box very cautiously, to see if there were not a mouse or a rat concealed therein. But as soon as he descried the wonderfully handsome pitcher, which he bad bi_M_l£ seen at Vence, he was complexly con- founded. Now Mr.. Hautmariji) waa a ^^^^^ unexpected discovery. Frotd^^Mfe^you must know, she took theTrWHrsTromthe rock with greater pleasure, and even smelt of them—but, who laid them there ? Ma- riette was, what young ladies in general certainly are not, very curious. She guessed this and that young man of La Napoule over and over again. But she could not guess out the secret. She listened and watched there late at night, and rose earlier in the morning. But she listened and watched for nothing. _tnd yeL twice every week, there lay the wonderful flowers, ib ' the morning on ihe rock, and on the paper strip wound maifwho knew what ia right 9fi^nrha*'' \\around theft she eirer read to herself the is wrong, and knew that the thinking modest ejaculation : \ Hear Mariette.\ and striving of man's heart is evil from youth up . He. at once perceived that Colin wished to bring Marietta into trouble, by means of the pitcher; to give out, when it came into her hands, that it was probably a gift of 'some successful suitor from the city, or some such thing, so that all well disposed people would be compelled to separate themselves from Marietta. Wherefore Mr. Hautmartin,the Judge, resolved, in order to prevent all evil sus- picions, to profess himself the giver. Be- sides he held Mariette dear, and would have been glad to see her obey the in- junction of old Parson Jerome better to- wards him Such an affair must, however, have ex. cited the curiosity of the most indiffer- ent But curiosity grows, at length, to withering anxiety.—Fourth vexation. To be continued. • 1_> f. s t o v f t a I. M. TETTERS. Prom the Utica Dally Gazette. To a democratic mind, there is some- thing striking in the rise and advance- ment of one of the lower orders among aristocratic rivals. Not many years since, M. Thiers waa as unpromising a subject for the biographer, a s any of the \Little children love one 'eicited herd who clamorea for a revolu- another.\ Indeed, Mr. Hautmartin was a child of fifty years, and Mariette thought the sermon no longer applied to him. On the contrary, mother Manon considered the Judge a very intelligent child, possessed of money, and honored ?on.' He was poor and friendless, with no edncatioji to develop bis natural tal- on ta, and withal cursed with a most un- prepossessing\ appearance, and now he has beeh'sevew times prime minister of France, a deputy, a member of the throughout all Napoule from one end of French Academy, and his dreBS glitters the town to. the other. And when the with alt the honorary badges of the Judge spoke of marriage, and Mariette jVorirr: \Wijh; all his great talents, he terrified ran away, mother Manon kept j'Owes this Ktcceas to an invincible teoaci- her Wat, hot * Bit afraid before the tall, I ty and a most aecommduattng political honorable gentleman* Moreover, it must *coo&ience..

Soon after,, an obscure German bookseller, an admirer of Thiers, introduced him to Baron Cotta, a rich bookseller from beyond the Rhine who was so much pleased with him that he presented him with half the proprie- torship of the Constitutional. It is wor- thy of notice that his benefactor, the German, was neglected, and returned to his native country to die of hunger. In 1828 Thiers founded the Nationel news- paper, as a step nearer to bis radical de- mocracy than his own paper dared to ap- proach, and to his efforts in a great meas- ure are owing the movements of July, which opened to him so glorious a career. He became Counsellor of State and Sec- retary oi Finance under Baron Louis: in the ministry of Lafitte he was Under- Secretary of State, and was chosen soon after Deputy from Aix. His debut in the Chamber was an entire failure. His voice was shrill and unpleasant and his style turgid and fatiguing. In 1831 La- fitte's ministry ceased- and Casimer Pe- rier became Prime Minister. The friends of Lafitte were astonished to find Thiers entirely changed in his political creed. He from that moment became a friend of the other party. He had used the people long enough* He quarreled with Lafitte, was Minister of the Interi- or under Soult, after Perier's death, and afterwards at the head of Commerce and Public Works, gained great credit. In 1834 he quarreled with Soult, the minis- try dissolved, and after one or two at- tempts at new ones, be became Minister of the Interior under Mortier. This did not last long. In 1835, we find him promising to support the laws of September, limiting the powers of the jury and the privileges of the press, the very things to the able advocacy of which he owed much of his success.— Then he was President of the Council, was opposed by the Crown and resigned. In 1838, be was candidate for the Presi- dency of the Chamber of Deputies, but was defeated by Sauzet A situation as private citizen gave him time to write his history of Florence and of the Con- sulate. In 1840 he came again into power and was deposed by the people to make way for Guizot.'.Jn the late dis- turbances he did not doubt his own abili- ty to form a ministry, but the people did and he was dispensed with. M. Cormenin his political enemy says =of him. u he is mean ii^appearance; in his talkuhe has .something of the gossip ; his nasal tones teat you to pieces. He has everythingogainst him aodyet when thfo Nttlo mu .jus taken possession of the tribune, he is so much at ease theie, he has so much cleverness, that it is im- possible not to listen to him with pleas- ure. He ia a demon of cleverness— He has it to the ends of his fingers.— Whatever may be the subject to be treat- ed, he will never be found at fault.— Fine arts, canals, roads, finance, com- merce, history, the press, transcendental politics, theatres, war, literature, reli- gion, pleasures, great things, middling things, little things, it's all the same to him \ He has so much ministerial talent with so much political inconsistency, and so much oratorical fertility with so much ddinesa of conduct, that he can scarce- either employed or dispensed with.

But in another, which was initial to the great objects which he had in view, he -effectually succeeded. He fought through, against all opposition from' the great body of the George Clin- ton party, a bil.l repealing the law dis- franchising the loyalists, and they were consequntly restored to the full rights of citizenship.. Another important meas- ure was carried ty Hamilton and his party, which was the resolve of the leg- islature, to send delegates to the conven- tion at Philadelphia, called for the pur- pose of 'revising the articles of the con-\ federation;' and his nextj and greatest triumph, was to procure his own election by the legislature, as a delegate to that convention. As it is well known, the convention did not restrict itself to the duty of revising the articles of the old federal compact, and they formed a new one, so far transcending in power the old union, that every states-rights man of that day, considered it as an entire ab-1 rogation of the federal 'system; and, go ? alt intents and purposes, a consolidated ; national government; completely mecvj ging the sovereignties of the states, an_| reducing them to departmental appenda-' ges of the central head. So said the Patrick Henrys, the Richard Henry Lees, the Masons, and Graysons, of Virginia; the Lowndes, and Burkes of South Carolina; the Bloodworms, of North Carolina; the Chases, of Mary- land ; the Wads worths, of Connecticut, and the Athertons, of New Hampshire; and so said George Clinton, and his co- adjutors in New York. Robert Yates, and the late venerable Chancellor Lan- sing, were the co-delegates of Hamilton in the convention, and remonstrated against many of tbe acts which trans- cended many of the purposes for which it was called; and, when these were un- availing, they seceded from it; being unwilling, to. further the views of their more daring coadjutor, in the formation of so comprehensive a government— But Hamilton remained, and, after the constitution was formed, boldly subscri- bed it in behalf of the state of New York. Yes, sir! the name of New Vork was officially appended to a con- stitution which a majority of its dele, gates denounced, and which three-fourths of its citzens repudiated! Now mark tbe sequel. The legislature of the state called a convention at Poughkeep. sie, to take the consititution into consid- eration. The violent whigs or states- rights party, claiming to be the real fed- eralists, resolved upon its rejection.— They denounced it as utterly suvbersive of tho federal compact, and dangerously monarchical. Then began a contest, not only upon the substantial merits of the new government as formed, but up- on its right to assume the time honored name of a federal government; and to substantiate the claims of its supporters to be the federal party. Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madi- son, took the field; andin the able es-, says written by them, now forming a po- litical text book, called the Federalist, they put forward and esiablised* their 1 claims in behalf of the government and themselves. But the other party stout, ly denied these pretensions, and with very good reason. They declared that the George Clinton, or states-rights par- Lansing, and pressed lo a final vote, b .i«t^J __''TO_HiljlW^F w ^PPJ?slMtoee^ajo^^/_rfcwl»aolc- led by cpr»aj|tb^3-l>_fts^b2s^|*^Hf^. sionpf alfcfr^afmfe^g^enjii would be^jnadie*- ; jSgpa^of: limm were fieU with then* thatBi 'b%ffitf$i''1ju suBtatae^d.

T^'j&Qh mond and Davis are incorrect aa to sub- sequent changes of party, nomenclature. The latter who is nearest the truth, in his remarks, says, in vol. 1, p. ]$%, of hia Life of Burr: { Soon after the adoption, of the new constitution, the antifederal ; party were recognised by a name more descriptive of their principles and their views. They assumed the title, of dem. ocrats. They considered themselves; hh- ti-constitmionalists, but not anti-federal- ists.' Now, even that political veteran is mistaken. They organized them- selves, in the. city, on the\ 30th. October^ 1788, as federal republicans, and frona the original record of the proceedings of the meeting, I have made the following extract: \'The following gentlemen, viz:— Marinus Willett, Meujncthon Smith, Da- vid Gelston, John Lamb, Ezekiel Rob- ins, Solomon Townsend,Nathaniel Law- rence, James M. Hhjjhe's, Samuel Jones, Charles Tillinghtrat^-having met at Francis' Tavern, on Tuesday evening, October, 30th; 1788, after some deliber- ation, determined to form themselves in- to a society, for the purpose of procur- ing a general convention, agreeable to the circular letter of the late convention, of this state, and therefore elected Colo- nel Willett to be their chairman, and Charles Tillinghast secretary.' 11 A committee, consisting of Melano- thon Smith, John*\Lamb and James M. Hughes, were appointed to draft letters to the slates of the Union, and to the counties of this state; and in the one to the inhabitants of the state^ is the follow- ing passage: « N_wYoa_,Noy. $, 1788. \ c GENTLEMEN :—The circumstances and situation of things, both before and sometime after our convention had met, warranted an universal opinion among all federal republicans* that it was proper to adopt the new constitution, only on condition that those important altera- tions, which were considered necessary to the protection of political and civil liberty, should be made, &c.' \I have also in my possession some of the papers of the general committee* of the first election of 1789, under the ty, were the only pure and undefined Federalists I \ ' '\ \ new constitution, in which they style themselves federal republicans. Some time afterwards, they dropped the word federal and called themselves republi- cans ; and the term of democrat did not obtain currency, tintiLit was.brought in- to use by the French revolution. Nor did this continue long to designate the party; and they fell back upon the nama of republican. The whole of tbe bat- tles, from 1818 10,182%, and for soma time afterwards, were fought under the ^arty^annef, astepuilicana, and the present style is of modern \date. \Thus. sir, IItajrg giVeri/yiou a screed of political gospel, illustrating ihe valus of Tiames, and showing that one now us- ed as a term of opprobrium,, was once contended for with great pertinacity by For a longtime theyr& _^__ . „„_ jected the opprobrious name of ana-fed-1 ^ p 7rty\who use i^as\stigma^icaiy , eralists, which the Schuyler party had cast upon them; but it began to gam ground at the north, and' crept down- ward to the central part of the state.— here, in the city, and throughout the southern district, the George Clinton party held to their claims, ana organized * their meetings as Federal Republicans. \Now came the tug of war for the ascendancy in this convention, and now came the triumph of tbe proscribed loyalists.
