I'l IS I.
The prettiest girl in the whole village, or indeed
for miles arouncf, was Nannette La#Croi\.
She had a hundred lovers, all of whom expressed
themselves ready to die for her: though siie,
cruel thing, would not give more than a smile
in reti rn. Her heart was free site said, and
liojted it would ever be ; she had no notion of
making herself a slave by marrying.
So spoke Naiinette, ju*t as hundreds have
spoken before her. and she really believed for
a while all :lie said. No foot was lighter at
the than hers; no jest was merrier
than that tfhich fell from Nan net to ; no maiden
curled her lip more saucily when Iter name was
linked with that of any of the village beaux.?
Ami yet, all this while, she was in love with
Pierre Latour, the handsomest, bravest, and
blithest of the village lads. She found it out
too, but not till he was levied for the conscription,
when the certainty of his 1 uig absence,
and the probability that be might never return,
nveal d o her the secret
Poor Pierre loved her as bis own life ; and

however, aud resolved to tell lii.s tale, for
diffidence hitherto had sealed his tongue, though ;
his eyes had long since spoken his adoration in
more eloquent language. He found Nnnnettc |
in tears. It was an u guarded moment for her, j
and Pierre had no difficulty in winning an acknowledgement
that she returned his affection.
" Ami will you be mine when 1 return { Promise
tne this,' he said, 'and I will strive to hecome
great, and will win, if bravery can do it,
the cross of t ic Legion of Honor."

?Hiid the young soldier departed. The secret
was to be kept between them, so the \ dingers
were none the wiser; and,as Naunette seemed
as gay as ever, no one ever suspected that her
heart was faraway in Russia, whither the Imperial
army had gone.
But this socresy proved most unfortunate for
the young men, ignorant of her engagement,
were attentate as, ever; indeed more so, for she
grew prettier amy. Pierre, even before the
aimy had reached the frontiers, heard from
those who had left the village later than himself,
that this or that gallant was always with
Naunette, and the gossips said it would he a
match. Ilow could he help being a little jeal
ens ? And when, later by six months, and just
before the Russian territory was invaded, he
met an old acquaintance from the village, and
heard that the son of the rich notary was dying
for her, is it strange he began to fear he would
loose Irs beautiful Nannette? lie hail heard so
much of woman's inconstancy, especially when
a young and wealthy suitor was the rival, that
he trembled for her fidelity.
All know the horrors of the campaign in
Russia. Of the half million who followed Napoleon
into the hostile territory not a tithe came
back alive. Vet ho almost wished lie had perislieg
in the fatal snows, for he had lost an arm
and that. too. without trainiuc the cross of the
Lotion of Honor. Not tliat lit* did not deserve
it; but in that awful retreat. there was no time
for the Emperor to think of bestowing favors.
Slowly, and almost in rags, like thousands
of others, Latour begged his way back to his
native village.
It was a bright morning in autumn, more
than a year after Latour's departure, when one
of the village gossips Mopped a minute at the
window of the cottage, where Nannette and
her mother dwelt.
" Who do you thiidtbas come back V he
said. 'Latour himse* He arrived yesterday
afternoon,"
At the anuonncemeqt of her lover's return,
Nannetto's heart leaped with joy; but when she
heard he had been bark so long without coming
to see her, her spirit sartfr, for she had continued
to love the absent soldier, in spite of the
the notary's son and her hundred other admirers.
" He is come back in a sorry plight, though,"
continued the gossip, "lame, n beggar, and
without one ami. lie is sick at heart too, and
so ashamed that he will not show himself: he
says he only wishes to die ; he is not fit to live
with the young and happy.'
Poor Nanette! Her heart was full of pity for
her lover. Sire turned aside to conceal her
tears. Yet stll she wondered why he had not
to ci*p h<?r nvifi sKn fi?1t ulnwiwt niurri'
again w hefi she thought of it.
"He tells me news too, which I never knew
before, you are so sly about it, Nanette. lie
says you are to marry the notary's sop. I do
believe, by the way he spoke, he has never got
over his old love for you ; when he spoke of the
notary's son he sighed, looking at his tattered
garment, his stump of an arm, and his leg lame
with travel."
Nanette heard no more. She understood
all now. She li ft her mother to entertain the
gossip, and hurrying up stairs, attired herself
in her holiday garments; and then selecting the
choicest fruits from their garden, and filling
her apron with flowers, she hurried to the cottage
of Pierre'8 family.
Never tiad she looked more charming. Her
white head-dress, falling low on her shoulders,
relieved her dark tresses, and added greater effect
to her brilliant black eyes. A handkerchief
worn around her neck, modestly concealed
her swelling bust. Her arms, rounded and
mellow as antique marble, were bare almost to
the shoulder; in a word, always beautiful, her
dress and lugn spirits now made tier pertectly
bewitching.
' Who's there V said a voice as"she knocked,
She knew that the family was all abroad at
this hour at their work, and that the voice must
be Pierre's else she would scarcely have reeog.
nized it, so discontented and so hopeless was
the tone once so happy and bright. But she :
knew a magic, she believed, to call back all its !
old sweetcness.
" It is 11" she answered, disguising her voice
and as she thought of the joyful surprise she
had in store for Pierre; she archly smiled.

one coining to t!ie door. *OIi! the groat jealous

When the door opened and the laughing giil
stood before him, Pierre staggered back. Surprised
with gloom in his features, but the smile
of.N'annettc gradually re-assured him. At last
he stammered out, 'You are here, Naunette !'
What does it mean ?
The happy girl read in every look of that
haggard face how truly Pierre loved her, and :
she could no longer contain herself, but speak- |
ing amid smiles and tears, w hile she put down |
her basket of fruit and emptied the flowers on :
the table before him. said, 'It means, dear Pierre '
that as you won't come to see me, I have come j
to see you: and as 1 heard that you were ill and j
tired, 1 have brought all the fruits and flowers j
for your acceptance; yes, and myself, too, if;
you will have me V and weeping she clasped i
him in her arms.
'What! and do you love poor Pierre still; |

'Hut, Nannette,' 1 said Pierre, looking at hi < i
stump, 'I am maimed now?and?and I have {

'No, you have not,' said she, touching the j
mangled shoulder Kindly,'Here is your cross
of the Legion of Honor; and a nohler one than
a piece of mere ribbon. I do believe,' she said,
bursting into tears 'that I shall hive you all the
better for having lost your arm.'
Happiness soon restored the bloom to Pierre's
cheeks, and on the morning of his marriage, he
looked the handsomest man in the whole gay
company. .Nor was his bride the only one wlio
thought this honorable scar added to the interest
which he inspired, lor all the village girls envied

The.Siamese Twins.?Dr. Warren of Boston
lately communicated the following among
other interesting particulars in regard to the
Siamese twins, who were reported a while
since to have died in Ivigland, whereas they
were then and are now, alive and wt II, living on
their farm in North Carolina. Dr. W. says
that the connecting substance between the two
is very strong, and has no great sensibility; it
can be severely handled without causing pain.
No pulsating vessel can be felt in it. The
slightest motion of one is immediately followed
by the other in the same direction, so that
the same wish seems to influence both: this i*
<juite involuntarily, or a habit formed I?y neeos- |
sitv. 'J'hey always face in one direction, strut- j
ding nearly side by bide, and cannot without j
inconvenience face in opposite directions. One j
is rather mom intellectual titan the other; the
most intellectual being ratlicr irritable, the oilier
being extremely amiable.
The connection between these twins might
afford some very interesting observations in j
physiology, therapeutics, anthology. There !
is doubtless a connection by minute blood ves- j
scls, absorbents, and nervous filaments, which
might transmit the action of medicines and the (
causes of disease. As far us known, any ,
indisposition of one extends to the other, they j
are inclined to sleep and eat at the same time
and in the same quantity, and perform in the
same manner other similar acts. Itis supposed
that when they are asleep, touching one awakens
both, but when awake, an impulse given
to one does not affect the other. The slightest
movement of one is soon perceived by the
other, that a careless observer might think they
acted simultaneously. No part seems to have
a perception common to both, except the middle
of the connecting substance, and its neighborhood;
for when au impression is made at this
part, it is felt by both, while beyond this space
it is left only by the one of the side to which
it is applied.
From the limited vascular and nervous connection
that can be discovered, Dr. Warren
supposes that the influence of medicine, transmitted
from one to the other, would be inconsiderable;
and. the same would apply to most
diseases?for instance a slight fever would not
probably expend from one to the other; while
irnncrfi flip fihanr. I

or[cnpillaries, (as small pox) would be
readily transmitted. The beatings of both
hearts coincide exactly, as also the pulses under
ordinary circumstances; if one exerts himself
without the other his pulse alone will be quick
ened, while the latter is unchanged. They
breathe also exactly together.
This harmony in corporeal functions would
lead us to ask if there be a similar harmony in
the iutellcctual functions; if they are identically
the same persons. There is no reason to suppose
that their intellectual operations are any
more the same than they would be in any two
persons, confined together, educated under similar
circumstances, and with similar habits and
tastes.
Then would come ti e question whether tliey
could be separated with safety. Perhaps such
nil operation would not be necessarily fatal, but
the peritoneum may be continuous from one
to the other, and the opening of this great serious
cavity might be attended with dangerous
symptoms. Should one die before the other,
it should he immediately performed but no suririKin

operation to free them from a mere inconvenience;
which inconvenience, it we may believe
reports of their domestic affairs and flourishing
condition in worldly goods, is after all of no
very great consequence.
THE LITTLE BOY THAT SWE \RS.

seven years old violating the third c <mntundment
which says: 7'Aon shall not take the
namo of the Lord thy God in vain, <SfC The
htiie fellow was mcearing, though perhaps he
didn't know it. Now this seemed rather shook- j

But, ah, ii lie lives, slip may change her notion, j

U. S. SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE TERRITORIES.
There are certain terms and phrases so familiar
in our political discussions as to have become
Jike "household words," among which is
that of sovereignty. Yet we find that some of
our statesman do not or will not comprehend
its force and signific-.ncy. Among these we
did not expect to find General Cass, for at the
very close of the debate in the Senate on the
California bill he not only disputed Judge Berrien's
application of the term, but wished it made
110 part of our political vocabulary. Judge
Berrien, in the admirable speech he made at the
termination of the debate affirmed that such
portion of the people of California as had instituted
a State government, had usurped the sovereignty
of the United States. Gen. Cass claimed
for the body of adventurers who had so acted
an inherent right to organize a State government,
and could not discover what application
the term sovereignty had ?o the matter in hand.
He could not comprehend the explanation, of
Judge Berrien, that the Congress, as the Agent
of the States, held and exercised their sovereignty
collectively, as a trust?a delegated power?which
passed, in this paiticular, to the people
of the Territories, whether acquired by purchase,
cession or conquest, when, with the assent
of Congress, tiiey, having formed a constitution,
were permitted to enter the Union. It
was difficult to get Gen. Cass to understand the
ui&imcuuii iH'iwevu unyuiai ur j;r uiuirj' auuuet*
egated orderivative sovereignty over the Territories,
the former being reposed in the United
si till Hut lnttnr Inilrr^i flAnrrMCQ
lie wouM give to any body* of adventurers
the right to eutcr"on the public domain, without
paying lor it, and organize themselves iuto a
body politic, in virtue of what he calls the iualicnablc
rights of man. Chinese, Australians,
South Americans, equally with Americans, become,
according to this doctrine, having no preparation,
suddenly invested with the privilege to
f >nn, on territory not their own, a political
constitution. They- assume the functions, by
inspiration, bv intuitive knowledge, of self-government.
To this conclusion does his theory
of inherent, inalienable right necessarily conduct
us. By virtue of popular sovereignty the
States of this Union are then to be ousted of
soil and jurisdiction, conferred on a miscellaneous
body of adventurers, it being impossible to
discriminate, in this respect, between Chilians,
Chinamen, Europeans and Americans. We
think that if there is any misapplication of the
term sovereignty, it is with Cen. Cass and not
Judge Berrien.
The same principle of inherent privilege applies,
ul course, to beundaiies. California adventurers
with tho saui<?tight to seize the public J?
domain, to dispossess the United States ot the r
soil and jurisdiction, had a correspondent right
to extend that jurisdiction over ten degrees of ***0, ''
latitude on the Pacific ocean. What was to
prevent their taking.possession of all the unappropriated
territory Kast and West as well as
North and South i Was there any limit but
their own sense of convenience ?
Another of the terms employed by Judge
lierrien in his argument seems to have perplexed
one of the Senatorial body in an .equal degree
that Lien. Cass was puzzled with the idea
that delegated power was reposed in Congress.
J mlge lierrien spoke of the equality of the States
heing about to bo sacrificed by the a huission of
California. Mr. I order wood, Sena or from Ky.
could not comprehend the principle by which
equality lretweea the States was to be maintained.
Is it, (?avs the Kentucky Sendtor, with

II. re. the , afiu. a disc ission of eight months,
diVing which the words "sovereignty" and
" equality between the States" have been
bandied so often in debate, two intelligent
Senators cannot, or will no: understand their
obvious signification. Is not this an evidence
of the misguiding inducnce of pejudice or
preconceived theory ? Gen. Cass wishes sovereignty
to attach to any promiscuous assemblage
of semi-civilized foreigners, however
largo, blended with a number of the citizens of
the United States, however small, i:i derogation
ol the rights of the Union ; whilst Mr. Underwood,
a citizen of a slave State, can discover
