Whenever I think olParis, my heart yearns toward the quaint old Latin Quartier, which, us eyeroody, knows, is the rendezvous of students, artists and Holt? tniatis id' whatever decree and class Tu it I >| ?'nt three of tho happiest* most independent yours of my lifo. There I h <d tho coziest, sunniest rnoins in the rid, away up in the third story, wh^ro Victor brought mo eve y morning it delicious bowl of hot coffee from the oreuierie around the corner; where my (rituals the German students, went trnmp uiu p.ist iuy room ut all hours ol the night; home I pom M&bille or tho t loscrio do Lilas; where uiy window 1 oked across the street into the work room of ? flock of industrious, tidy grisottes who chatted and laughed all day long as merrily as if their destiny was not first the streets, und then the commune tosse?poor souls I I hero }tot to sec somewhat of the life of this vast Paria, so brilliant, bo fascinating on the surface?such a tnnss of fostering horror ut the bottom. And there, too, 1 saw Marguerite. She lived on the thiru Boor, back?she nud her old rheumatic mother; and from the earliest red of dawn till 11?? night was far spent, the pretty, patient little creature worked at her tra le of making artificial flowers. She was a little thing, just rounding out of her teens?slight, lair as one of her own lillies, curling dark hair cropped close to her pretty head?i?. was so much less trouble, so she raid?and a pair ol the loveliest, most wonderful eyes that ever a pure soul shone out of?pellucid, blue and soft?ever smiling?poor child, her life wus so hard, but full ofthat divine tenderness which Hupacl paints in the eyes of Iiis Madonnas. I used to hear hct blithe little voice singing at her work. She had ;t canary, ton, which sung louder than she. but. uot half so sweetly, and a pot 4)1-niiguoueft which hho tcudwd with touching faith fulness. And these wore her pets?with her old mother, her ou]y friends No lover-?-that prime nocesatty of the French girl?-*s jet. I fancy the garcons of tho neighboring cafe, or the rough German students, could not have been much to her taste. And so she was alone?a little, pure white flower in the heart of a great city, where wicked ness is so much easier tbitq virtue When I fust came to understand this, I said in my heart, God help poor little Marguerite J I lt.id been her neighbol six months, when one night I heard a low tapping at uiy door, und on opening it, found this pretty little creature there Her violet eves were strained with alarm, and her cheeks pa or than thu lillies, ns she told me, bravely choking back her SOD8, that Victor had said that in .osiour was a doctor, und tier in ither W is very ill?bieii malade?wiping her eyes ; and would I, in my great goodness, come and sco her ? 01 course 1 would, and did. 1 found the poor woman .suffering sovcicly. her disease having attacked the heart, and before it was effectually relieved, Mar guoiito und L had become great friends and allies. The r.liof was only a reprieve at !.t. A l,.,,. nttiink was iniuiinmit and it was uot probable she Could sur vive it ; I told Marguerite this one day, my own heart aching as I saw her wl"'teiiing cheeks. '?And then, my poor child, whut will you do ? You wtil ho all alone then " "You too, monsieur! Arc you going also '(" "All, Marguerite ! My studies will soon be ended, und there is a durk eyed maiden in my owu laud who is waiting for me." If I had any fancy?but I had not ? that 1 hud touched Marguerite's iuuo i cent beult, it died (here and then. Her delicate cheeks flushed with U lender rose. "Oh, monsieur 1 You never told me that. Ah, ciol ! Hut how beaut ilul that is I" Dear heart ! She made me tell her all about our wooing, und our hoped-for wedding; und 1 believe the small col lage where wc expected to sot up house keeping wus as visible to hur mind's eye us to mine. W e got on famously after .his Confer ence. The old mother got better us the. Wal to spring came on, and when 1 had a slight illness, Marguerite was able to come und hit in my rouii, with her roses gud violets und Uuisics about hur, aud chat us shu worked. We got it all ar ranged that I was to rend for her some day. if sho should bo left alone in the world?and she was to set up her fiower inakiug in New York. By and by the sweet days grew longer and sweeter; and not only by Marguerite's pot of mignonette, but by n thouNuud signs in earth and sky, we knew thut the gracious sum put was about to visit the curth with blessing. I bad made n hard winter of it work ing at my professional studies, and I was tired and worn. So, as the summer drew nigh, I entered into an alliance with a big, blond-haired Teuton, who 1 lived on the next floor, for tho purpose of n pedestrian tour through the Mer ncse Oborland. I was to be gone three mouths. Tears came to Marguerite's eyes whon I told her. Nevertheless, when, on the morning of our departure, .1 ran i'' to bid her good by, she was a little paler than usual, but quite cheer ful. "Take <rood care of your hoart, littlo Murzucrtte !" I said, playfully. '?.Monsieur!" with a demure smite. '"It I takes care of itself." *-Oh! But. I am,afraid of the new stranger. He looked at yuit twice, yesterday, and when you sang the Marseillaise, ho stood iu the vestibule to listen." She laughed softly, and the faint pink tinged her cheeks. 1 b ide the old mother good by, and got a courtly French blessing?for these people were well born and refined?and then, as tho voice of the narcon sang out for me, I looked down into Marguerite's fice, from whence all tho color had fled now, and saw her dear, beautiful eyes swimming in tears. I took her in my arms, kissed her tenderly, and ran away, n >t during to look behind inc. For the littje crea ture had grown artfund my heart In the most wonderful way. '?*?> As we gathered up our traps, Ludwig eonsolo 1 U?c i "Marguerite win*^hlicu herself with ! tho now English gontlerq.tn . You'll find the bloom all gone from your white j (lower, when you return." ( He meant no h inn, but 1 could h tve cursed him for the < vtl prophecy. As we went out at the d ior. we pissed the new English gentleman, standing near tho entrance, leisurely smoking his nfter-brcakfadi cigar. His name, I had leaned, Wits Guy Beau champ, Probably he was, on one side or the other, of French descent. He had that illimitable air of polish about him which marks the members of "the most refined natiou iu the world." As he lifted his but uud courteously wished us bon voyage, it struck tue that he might prove an v.i>y conqueror of any woman's lioait. For a moment 1 lelt a rual fear for little Marguerite, but Lud wig hurried me on so eflcutuully that sho wits for the notice put nut of my head. That night 1 slept a hundred miles from the Latin Quartier, and the next day our novel Swiss experience b. gau. Up to this point I hive written of Marguerite from my ow n personal know ledge ; but from this, what remains of her history is made up from fragments , of her papers, and the narration of ill ? old woman who kept the crem Wcoppo I aWn It seems that Guy Bcnuchamp,seeing the fair, innocent beauty of the youu^ girl, longed f>r her with that strange perversity of the human mind which nobody can explain. A hundred poor girls of easy virtue passed bi n every day, but he was indifferent to the n. It was Marguerite whom he desired. Al first the girl was shy ol him. He could put on the itirs of a grand sieg uour, it seemed, and perhaps the ol ild was afraid of him. Thon suddenly her mother fell I ear fully ill Tins coot inn cd during lour long weeks of the hot, weary summer. No more making mnuk lilies ami rosos DOW. Marguerite stood all day in the small, stilling room, trying to case the poo, invalid. There came to her, flowers, fruits, an easy chair, delicate wines.

Who ii it? What is it? Beauchauip would fain have drawn her on, but Marguerite lingered, fas ciliated. Ho was l'yrccd tu tell her the story. It was (JoAhe's Margaret, and the young mau was Faust, and the old satyr was Mcphijwplicles, and?yes, Faust was tempting Margaret! Oar little Marguerite listened with pain aud wonder. Shu clung to Beau champ, shivering. '?'J ake tue away !

And Marguerite clung to his ueek, with tears ami kisses, and blessed him in such terms that I think some stirrings of shame and remorse began in his breast, For lie put her away u little, and said, gravely:? "My dear, what is it that you think I have asked for you? Ner sweet, tender eyes met his, and si iwlv as his meaning dawned ou lur. the rrot -tints laded from her suit cheeks. "What ran I think?

Perhaps he forgot her Peril tips he remembered her too well, and was glad tu Shako off the- haunting association. The first day of Oct ?bor, I camo back and a great pain s note my heart at the black news. A little thread of hono was ? left, howover, and with what small clews I had I followed up the search. It led me through various poor lodging-houses and ut lust to tho hospital. And here, standing in tho long ward, I asked of a saintly sister of Mcroy for Marguerite. She pointed to a littlo white bed, freshly made and clean. "Oh, Margueritel" ?When was it?" I inquired, after a time. "Only yesterday. Shcsnnk slowly. I think the hope of seeing you kept her here many days after tho call came to go." I was too much overcome to speak. "She never went back to the Quartier, said the nurse, presently. "She said to me, one day, that she dared not. She was sorely tempted many times, when she fell ill "Hut," she said," I loved him. There was nothing else so strong iu mc as my love. 1 could ouly keep away. Poor little lamb!" "And her body f" "Oh," said the sister, wi'.h a look of distress, "monsieur knows. There was no one to claim her. Oh, Monsieur!' ' I remembered then, with a cold horror, that it is a custom, in tho hospitals, to give the bodies of those poor people who have no friends to the medical colleges for dissect iuti. There was no tloep for mc that night. As soou as the darkness fell, I called my Teutonic ally, and wc mfgan our tour of search. 1 spare my reader the story of the night. >!Vo went presently to Clamart, and there, in what with horrid facctious netfS the student call the ' Salle do Re ception," I found my poor little-Mar guerite licr beauty, which was still most touching, had kept sacrilegious bands away from her, and the poor delicate little body was laid away, un harmed, under the violets at Mont Purnas.sc. It was all I could do for her. Lift Up The Banner. The defco.ion of Mr. Grccley, and his ?i>ti?inatt iu 'hg?.tho Cincinnati Jjou veniion, has broughtVurpriso and uncer tainty, for tho moment, upon tho public mind ; but it ought not for au iustant to throw doubt upon the path of duty. The Philadelphia Convention is now bound, even if it were not its duty before, to raise up the old Republican banner un der which have been gained such illus trious victories, and to print upon it the name of GeNKHAI. (jRANT ! It is not now a questiou whether G ueral Grant hns been a little too firm or too lux, too fast ur too slow. IJy the conduct of those who have nbandoucd the Republican party, he has been placed in a position where order, public safety, and honor, require his re-elec tion. Wc believe the public peace, order, un.l safety require tho continued ascendancy of the Republican party, and that no uthet man can now so well lead the party as General Grant. It is not the tank of the Republican party that personal piques und private ambitions, minuted in a tew Cisea with some worthy aspirations for reform, have broken out into revolt and political revolution. Hut it will be its fault if it shrinks from the conflict forced upon it, or loses victory through discouragement or indifference.

What are we to gain by a new party ?made up in haste, without common principles, jumbled together not to cor rect grave public evils, but to avenge private grids, or to reward violent auo irregular ambition'/ livery great interest in the Lud is flourishing.

Is it prudent to abandon a ship that has been It ied and proved in a hundred StoritlS, for a new crew, made up ol deserters, of malcon tents, of raw landsmen, uud of suspicious men come from we know not where'{ Can that bo a safe leader w ho has so suddenly become th'j favorite of the whole Pemocralic race, by whom he hat for thirty yean been immeasurably abused, aud against whom he has fought that iir;essaut battle on which his poli tical fame rests ?

Horace Oreeley, presi dent of the United States by the votes of the Southern men who carried on the war, and of that Democratic party whtoh hung like a dead weight on Lincoln's Administration! If the Demopratio party, in view of its past history and testimony, shall now indorse Mr. Greeley, their life-long antagonist, it will not be by conversion nor by honorable surrender, but by an act of political immorality as shameiul us cvor was recorded! There have been, before this, coalitions between antagonis tic elements for the mere sake of power. They have never been deemed honorable. But they will all turn to the color of virtue by the side of the infamy of such a coalition as is now meditated ! Is it iuto the bands of such a party that our circumspect merchants, our prudent mechanics, our intelligent working men, arc willing to commit the government of this great nation ? Are we to live to sec the man in whom we have taken such pride, conducting au administration by the leave of the men whose policy be has all his life abhorred, and against whom he has emptied a thousuud quivers? Horace Greeley, borne to tho Presi dential chair by Democratic votes ! Dov the Democrats love hitn? Do they be lieve in his past life? Are they iu sympathy with him in ideas, principles, or policy ? If they adopt him, will it not be for the sake of breaking down the Republican party ? Failing in au elec tion, Mr. Greeley might perhaps yet better serve the Democratio party by dividing bis own former party to let his Hie long enemies pass through to victory with u candidate of their own 1 Mr. Greeley is iubad company. He is in a false position, lie is abandoning his old friends aud taking council with his enemies. Ho is on tho wrong path. Possibly, but not probably, at the end of this new road to which his feet have been so honorably unaccustomed, he may tiud the Presidential chair. But it will he a dreary one. 11c may gaiu in emi nence aud lose in bouor. It will be au illustrious career effulgeotly disgraced. Wo believe Mr. Greeley is un !cr a Providence that has better things iu store for bitu tbau honors g-wicd at the hands of men who only us h.iu to des troy bis life long frieuds. Iu such a day as this there should be no faint hearts at Philadelphia ! Let a declaration of principles bo framed worthy of the oity from which was issued the old Declaration of Independ ence.

A scrub-headed boy having boon brought before the oourt as a witness, the following amusing colloquy ensued : '?Where do you live ?" unpaired the judge. "Live with my mother.". "Where does your mother Urs?" "She lives with father." "Where does ho live?" "He lives with the old folks."
