THE TWO WHITE ROSES. Mademoiselle Pasrsline Benoit was one of the most renowned flonrists in Paris. She wasanentbusiast ia her profession. Sbs was poor but sbs cultivated her flowers with a poetical seal, irnich excited the admiration of all who knew her. Her little garden, sit uated in the outsk irta of the city, always con tained some prodigy of the vegetable king dom. ..'..' It was mid-winter. A sharp equipage drew up and stopped in front of Pascaline's door. An elegant looking matron and a charming young lady alighted from the car riage. It was tits Marchioness de Regenial and her daughter. Mademoiselle," said tbe Marchioness, " my daughter is te be married the day af ter to-morrow, and we wish a white rose for her wedding dress, I am told that you bars one." . , ' " Yes, I have two, replied Pascalioe. " Can I see tbemt " asked tbe lady. Certainly," was tbe response ; and the two visitors were conducted to a beautiful rose bush bearing two half blown roses, which shed a moat delicious perfume. " Can 1 1 have botn of uemT Inquired the Marchioness. No Madam," answered Psscaline with a sigh, "one of them is already promised." " Then I will take the one," said tbe lady What is the price. Two louis, replied Fsstaltue. " Here is the money," said the Marchion ess. " Send tbe roes' to my bouse at tbe Rue St Honors." Pascal ine bowed politely, and reconducted ber wealthy customers to the door of her bumble abode. How fortunate, thought she. Forty francs! With this sum I can pay my rent, and save myself from being turned out Oh I my dear mother I sbe exclaimed, from thy happy place in heaven, thou still guard est and protactest thy daughter. That nigbt was one .or great gner to l'as- caline. It was the eve of the anniversary of tbe death of her mother, a good and pious womsn who bad cultivated in ber daughter two chaste affections love of God and of flowers. Sbs wept as sbe thought of tbelast moments of ber beloved mother, whom death had taken from ber. It wm a cold night when tbe weeping daughter sat by tbe bedside of her dying mother, who murmured in a faint but sweet voice: Pascaiine, are oar whits roses still liv ing T " " Yes, mother," was the reply. " Then brinv them to me, that I may en joy tbem once more." Tbe daagbter brought tbem. . Tbey were two beautiful full blown roses upon one branch. , The Doctor said ths odor of these flowers mlrht Injure ths patient " No, never miud," said she " these roses Ilks mv child, will live long after me. Pascaiine give me one of them. Bury this with me. A few minutes afterward sbe breathed her last. While sbe lay a corpse ths rose wss plac ed in her hand ; but as the body was placed in the coffin tbe leaves of ths flower fell off. Sbe wss buried, and the grave had scarcely closed when tbe daughter made a solemn vow, as c hails and tender as the heart that inspired it . Tbe night was passed In prayer and ilia! remembrance ol ber mother s lova Next morning sbs resumed her daily task ia ths garden. Sbe recollected that sbs had promised to send a rose to the Marchioness, snd sbs went to pluck it; but sad to relate one of tbem had withered away. A single rose only remained. The landlord came and demanded, of ber, his rent " Sir," said Pascaiine, I am usable pay TOO. How is that t You have money." said ths landlord, reminding her of the two louis which bs bad learned she had received from tbe marchioness. Tbe two louis ara no longer Inine," re plied Pascaiine. uThis white rose has with ered. Tbe money must be returned to the Marchioness. But there is another rose remaining " said ths landlord. whv not send that?" Becauss it is already proaierd," replied Pascaiine; ' all tb e gold ia the world would aot purchase it." "Then," said the hard landlord, "you must prepare to leave me at ooca. 1 cannot allow tenants to occupy my cottage for noth ing." " You shall bs obeyed," answered ths girl, calmly.

Last let In the Negro Drama A Blch c Scene at the CapltoL Yesterday will be a day long to be remem bered as vitally affecting tbe political, moral and social Interest of tbs State of Tennessee. Tbe remark of Elwood Fisher, made some years since, to the effect that in attempting Uf free the negro, white men. themselves would become enslaved, round practical il lustration In ths proceedings at the Capitol on yesterday evening. Those present will never Jorget tbe aceae, nor the time when a subject of such momentous interest was de cided. It had been known that the final vote on the franchise bill would be taken In the afternoon, and a large number were pre sent who bad no connection with tbe Legis lature.- nben the previous question was called the interest became absorbing, though the fate of tbe bill wss virtually a foregone conclusion. Considerable elbowing and but- tonholeing bad been going Sn for some time by outsiders snd pretuy high pressure bad been brought to bear. When ayes and noes wsre called, noses had been counted by the majority. As the roll was called much interest was exhibited in each responss of aye and no, and members would look at each other as each vote was . recorded. When thirty votes bad been counted, affirmatively the Radicals felt sore of their triumph, and .miles and whispers were exchanged between tbe members. . The galleries were crowded with negroes, whits all ths vacant seats in the House were filled with spectators, ladies and gentlemen whom the interesting occasion. had called to togetber. The vote went oa'. The Clerk called each name clearly and distinctly, and tbe response ef "aye" or "no" was giv eu the same way. Tbe end of the roll was at length reached. The vote was counted and the Speaker announced the result ar riaMAfkvB 38, asoATtvB 25. Tbe bill passed, snd thousands of negroes were by the House, at four o'clock made citizens, snd bad given then the power of the : franchise law tbe highest right that belongs to man in a re publican mvernment When tbe vote was announced tbe scene that followed beggars description. Loud and vociferous yells fol lowed, repeated and prolonged. Men clap ped their bands, stamped their feet, and hal. loed, and cheered, till tbe very walls of ths capitol and its fluted columns, massive as thev are, seemed to tremble. Tbe Cincin nati Gsxette correspondent gashed over in the exuberance of bis feelings, and swung bis hat around bis bead and cheered most lus tily ; wbiletbose who favored the measure kept op the cheering, tbe negroes in tbe gal leries caught up the infection, and stamped, clappsd their hands and yelled at a tremen dous rats on tbe event voucbaateing to mem more priviledges than are extended by any State in tbe North. That grand capitol ball never witnessed such a scene before, snd few such scenes ever transpired ia any capitol where men of dignity bad convened for grave and important purposes. It was enough to call the dead Strickland from Bis coffined niche la tbe wall, and giv him the power of Sampson to tear down tbe pillars or tbscap itoL and send the noble edifice tumbling up on tbe beads of those who dared 'thus per mit its rude desecration. The usurpation was consumated, and trivial jests and loud buixas rang out from ths capitol building, where the last vestige of Tennessee's consti tutional liberty was struck down. The event will not be for jot ten, nor will tbe undigni fied scenes following its consumalion. Un ion nd thipotth. HisToatCAt Fictiosb. Oeneral Early, of the late Confederate army, has published a pamphlet giving a history of his campaigns ia the Valley of Virginia, in which he as serts that the Federal Generals, Including Generals McClellait, Grant, Meade and Sher idan never failed, in their dispatches, to place ths Confederates opposed to them, at three, or four times their real number. In these assertions Gen. Rarty is supported by other Confederate commanders At the bat tles before Richmond, wbea Gen. McClellan estimated Gen. Lee's army in defense of tbe city at over 200,000 it is affirmed that tbe Confederate force did aot exceed 70,000; at the battle of Antietam, when the Confeder ates were estimated by Gen. McClellan a over 100,000, then were but 30,000; at Cold Harbor, wbea Gen. Grant put down Gen. Breckinridge's commmand at 1S.000, there were bnt 3,000, aad ia ths campaigns in the Valley, Gea. Early asserts that Gen. Sheridaa frequently reported tbe capture of a larger aumber of prisoosrs thaa bis whole army. Blessings la DlsgaUe. Great griefs, Shakespeare tells u. . medicine, for oar lesser sorrows. Tbs rem edy, it may be thought, is worse thaa the disease. And yet it ia not so altogether; for the overwhelming anguish which swal lows ap tbe minor tribulations, ducipline the mind, and wbea it has felt lbs shock of real calamity, it is lea likely to be dietaitied by petty annoyances. Of all schools, that of misfortune is best for a grumbler. If any thing caa make a quiet, considerate digni fied man of him it is afflict ioa.

Some writer baa aid that n young and beautiful widow Is ths most loving and lovabls creature la existence.? There is much truth in the remark, and -as Sam uel Weller intimates, they are at the same time, tbe roost dangerous to tbe liberties of of a bachelor, when tbey ooca take a aotion that way. Is it not a singular fact that most of tbe greatest men the world baa produced have tx en brought to the feet of widows T It was winter clear, cold and tbs now was nicety packed. Dr. Meadows was one of a sleighing party, which he describes, so far as he and the widow Lembkla were concern ed, la tbe following : ' ' T Tbe lively widow Lamhkln sat in the sleigh nader tbe same buffalo robe that cov ered -me. : . ,.: "Obi don't I" she exclaimed, as ws cams to the first bridge, at the same time catching hold of my arm, and turned ber veiled face toward, me, and ber eyes twinkling through the moonlight " "Don't what?" I asksd, -1 ant not doing anything.".- ... " Well but I thought yon were going to lake toll," "Toll, I rejoined, "what Is thstl " Well I declsre I " cried the widow, her clear voice viugiog out above tbe masia of ths belli, "you pretend you don't know what toll is." " Indeed I don't then," I aid laughing, " pray explain, If you please. . lou never heard then," said tbe widow, most provoklngly, : " yoa never beard that wbea we are on a aleigb ride -tbe gentle men always, that is, sometimes, when they cross a bridge claim a kiss and call it toll. But I never pay it" '' ' " I aid that I never beard of it before, bat when we came to the next bridge, I claimed the toll, and tbs widow a struggle to bold tbs veil over her face, was not enough to tear it At last tbe veil was removed, and ber rosy face wm turned directly towards mine, j and In the clear light of a frosty moon, the toll wm taken by Dr. Meadows.. Soon ws came to a long bridge with several arches, the widow said it wm no use to resist a man who would have his owa way, so she paid ths toll without a murmur. " But you will not take toll for every arch, will you Doctor T" the widow mid so archly that I did not fail to exact all my dues, and that was the beginning. But never miud the rest Tbe Lambkins had the Meadows all to herself in tbe spring. The Evening Before the Wedding. " I'll tell yon," continued ber snnt to Lou Ira, "two things which I havs fully proved. Ths first will go far toward preventing any discord after marriage ; the second the best and Surest of preservative of feminine char acter." "Tell me," aid Louis. : " "Tbe first is this: Demsnd of your bride groom as soon as tbe marriage ceremony is over, snd promise yourself, never even in jest to dispute or express any disagreement. I tell yon never! for what begins in mere bantering will lead to serious earnest Avoid sxpressing any irritation at one another's words. Mutual forbearance is the one great secret of domestic happiness. If yon have erred, confess it freely, even if eoofessioa costs yoa some tears. Further promise faith fully, never, upon any pretext or excuse, to have any secrets from each other, but to keep your private affairs from father, mother, brother, sister, and tha world.- Let them oe known ooly to each other and your God. Remember that any third person admitted into your confidence bee mu s party to stand between you, and will naturally side with one or tbe other. Promise to avoid this and renew the vow upon every temptation. It will preserve the perfect confidence, that union, which will indeed make you u one. U, if the newly married would but practice thli spring of connubial peace,, bow many unions would bs happy which are now lais erable.1' Knickerbocker. Story of Eugenie, When Eugenia de Montijo first became Empress of tbe Fmncb it is aid that her graceful manners were somewhat less formal than ths prejudice of tiqnrtle de manded. Sbe would stand and talk to her inferiors in rank liks any other reasonable human being not afflicted with a soul bear, ing the stamp of an imperial eagle. Tbe legitimists especially thought her msnners not at all orthodox, snd would jest and joke in private about tha Km pres. picking up her own pocket handkerchief, and being guilty of such like heinous misdemeanors.
