It was during the early days of the great Revolution of 17,. ini the year 1792, when a young oiicer in delicate' health took up his (1uarters inl the city of Marseilles f1r the six Imloliths of his leave of absence.-It seemed a straige rdtirement for a young man, for in the 'town lhe knew n1o one, :m11l ill the dep[tlh of winter Marstilles n as n) tem ptin re sidence. The oilcer lived in a 'arret looking out upon the street, which lut for its sole furiiture a harpsichr , a bed, a table, and a chair. itie hut agei- ever entered that apartinent.

The young man starts from his dream, what is this he hears ? "Aux armes !.citoyens, Fornez von battaillons," &c. What is this ? he cries. "My Song of the Rhinel" le listens. A beautiful and clear voice is singing; it is still his song of the people; and the poor composer's first wish is gained; he feels that he is fa. inous. But he is dying, choaked stiff With charcoal.

Ten days later, Ronget de L'Isic was married to Claudine, the priuma don St na of Marseilles; and the young compo 8 ser, in gratitude to her and her country men changed the name of his song, and called it by the name it is still known by--"LA MAIIRSEILLATSEi" s The death of George Washington *' Lafayette, son of Gen.

The corpse was brought to the small private ceme terv within the walls of the ancient con vent of Iiopus. where repose the dead of several noble familes-De Nonilles. , De Grammont, Lamoignon, and others. B On this spot, under a simple tomb, lies .1 Gen. Lafayette. About two hundred (of the immediate relatives, friends and acquaiitances of the deceased son wit. t nessed the obsequies.

The Great Cow Case.-Thc case of James A. Maynard vs. Cummings Li telifield, is another exemplification of the results of appealing to the law. In this case the plaintifl alleged that 'the defendant, to whom he entrusted a cow worth $100 or more, had, by negligence inprop er food, or some other cause, all owed her to die. Of course, in such a case all the cow knowledge of the Commonwealth was in requisition, and the matter was so mystified that two or three jm'i.s . were totally unable to agree upon a verdiet. At last a jury had been f. und who, after considering and sleeping on the matter for twenty six hours, agreed to give the plaintiff one dollar damages. each party paying his own costs, which it is said, will amount to $1000 or more.--Boston Traveller.
