VOLUME XVII. FRANKLIN, PARISH OF ST. MARY, (ATT'rAKAPA%,) LOUIIAA.....JULY I31, 1! .2. NUMBER 29. A SELECTED TALE. The Stolen Rose. Geraldine Delisle was, the year pre vions to the late revolution, which in one day shattered one of the great monarchies of the earth, the reigning; belle in her circle. Lovely in form and face, she wanted but to correct some trifling defects in character to be per feet. But if she had large black eyes and massive brow, and beautiful hair and white teeth-if she had a lily-white hand and tiny feet, she knew it too well, and knew the power of her charms over man. She loved admiration, and never was so happy as when in a ball-room: all the men were almost disputing for the honor of her hand. But Geraldine had no declared suitor; she never gave the slightest encouragement to any one. Many offered themselves, but they were invariably rejected, until at twenty her parentsbegan to be alarmed at the prospect of her never marrying. Mons. and Madam Delisle had found so much genuine happiness in marriage the only natural state for adult human beings-that they had promoted the early marriage of two sons and an elder daughter, and now that Geraldine alone remained, they earnestly desired to see her well and happily married before they died. They received numerous offers, but the young girl had such winning ways with her parents, when she declared that she did not like the proposer, they never had the courage to insist. During the season of 1847, Geraldine sever missed a party or ball. She never tired as long as there was music to listen to, and it was generally very nearly morning before she gained her home. About the middle of the season she was sitting by her mother's side in the -splendid saloons of the Princess Menzi koff She had been dancing, and her late partner was saying a few words. to which she scarcely made any reply. Her eyes were fixed upon a gentleman -who, after observing her for some time, Ihad turned away in search of some one. ,He was the handsomest man she had ever seen in her life, and she was ,curious to know who he was. A little .above the middle height, slight, pale. with large eyes, soft in repose like those 'of a woman, he had at once interested Gceraldine, who, like most women, could excuse every bad feature in a man -save insipid or unmeaning eyes, and she asked her mother who lie was. " He.i a very bad man," said Madam Delisle. '.f noble family, rich. titled. iyoung and handsome, he is celebrated only for his follies. He throws away thousands on every questionable plea sure, and has the unpardonable fault, in my eyes, of always ridiculing mar riage." "' I cannot forgive him for ridiculingz .marriage, mamma, but I can excuse him for not wishing to marry." " Myl dear, a man who dislikes mar riage Is never a good man. A woman may from caprice, or from any motive, objeot~to marrying: but a man. except when undbr the influence of hopeless affection-and men have rarely feeling enough for this-always must be a hus band to be a good citizen." "Ah! mamma, you ,have been so .happy that you think all must be so, but y'ou see many who are not." " Madam Delisle," said the Prin ss Menzikoa who unperceived had come round to her, "allow me to introduce to you my friend Alfred de Rougement. I mast not call him Count, he being what we call a democrat, with a clean face and white kid gloves." f'The princess is always satirical," I replied M. de Rougement, smiling, "and my harmless opposition to the government now in power, and which she honors with her patronage, is all her grounds for so terrible an announce /OenLt. Madam Delisle and Geraldine both started and colored, and when Alfred de Rougement proposed for the next dance he was accepted; the next min ute the mother would gladly have found same excuse to have prevented her diaghter from dancing. Alfred de -ougement was the very "bad man" whom she had the instant before been denouncing. Bat it was now too late. From that evening Geraldine never went to a ball without meeting Alfred. She received many invitations from most unexpected quarters, but as surely as she went she found her new admirer, who invited her to dance as often as he could without breaking the rules of etiquette. And yet he rarely spoke. The dance once over, he brought her back to her mother's side, and left her without saying a word; coming Back when his tarn again came with clock work regularity. In their drives they were sure to meet him. Scarcely was the earriage rolling up the Champs Elysees before he was on horseback within sight. He merely bowed as he peassed, however, keeping constantly sa view, without endeavoring to join them. One evening, though invited to.an early soiree and to a late ball, during dinner they changed their minds, and decided on going to the opera at the very opening, to hear some favorite m.aie which Geraldine very much admired. They had not yet risen from desert, when a note came from Albert ad.oegu t, offering them his box, eea of hbest in the house ! "Why, he is a regular Monte Cristo," cried Madam Delisle impatiently. ".rw ean he know oar movements so weUll "3e most have bribed some one of tb va rseplied Geraldine. "We taLkmd aýst pe of where we were gig b. be thy left the room" " at what es he mean " said Madam Delisle. "Is he going to give up his enmity to marriage, and propose for oun ?" " I don't know. mamma." exclaimed the daughter, coloring very much; " but he may spare himself the trouble." I Geraldine! Geraldine! you always will then make me unhappy," said her mother, shaking her head. " But you cannot want me to marry Alfred! You told me everything about him yourself." -- But if he is going to marry and be steady, I owe him an apology. But go and dress-you want to hear the over ture." They went to Alfred's box-father, mother and daughter-but though in the house he scarcely came near them. He came in to inquire after their health. claimed Geraldine's hand for the open ing quadrille, and went away. The voung girl rather haughtily accepted this offer, and then turned around to attend to the music and singing. Next day, to the astonishment of both Mlosieur and Madam Delisle, Alfred de Rougement proposed for the hand of their daughter, expressing the warmest admiration for her, and declaring with earnestness that the happiness of his whole life depended on her decision. Geraldine was referred to. She at once refused him, giving no reason. but expressing regret that she could not share his sentimenits. The young man cast one look of reproach at her, rose, and went away without a word. When he was gone. she explained to her parents, that though in time she thought she should have liked him, she did not admire his mode of paying addresses, and thought he should have spoken to her first. Madam Delisle replied that she now very much admired him. and liked his straight-forward manner; but Geraldine stopped the conversation by reminding her that he was rejected, and that all discussion was now useless. That evening Geraldine danced sev eral times with her cousin, Edward Delisle, a young man who for a whole year had paid his addresses to her. They were at a house in the Faubourg St. Germain. where the ball-room open ed into a splendid conservatory. Geral dine was dressed in white. with one beautiful rose in her hair, its only orna ment. Edward had been dancing with her, and now sat by her side. They occupied a corner near the end, with a dense mass of trees behind them and a tapestry door. Edward once again spoke of his love and passion, vowing that if she would not consent to be his he should never be happy: all this in a voice which clir,".'-a haw fully he ex pected to be again refused. "If you can get mamma's consent, Edward," she replied quickly. -I am not unwilling to be your wife." Edward rose from his seat and stood before her the picture of astonishment. Geraldine rose at the same time. •But where is your rose ?" said *the young man, still scarcely able to speak with surprise. "It is gone-cut away x ith a knife," replied she thoughtfully. " But never mind: let us look for mamma." Edward took her arm, and in a few minutes the whole family were united. The young mian drew his uncle away from a card-table, saying that Geraldine wished to go home. After handing his aunt and cousin to their carriage, he got in after them, quite an unusual thing for him. "Why, Edward, you are going out of your way," said the father. "I know it, but I cannot wait until to-morrow. M. Delisle, will you give me your daughter's hand? Geraldine has given her consent." "My dear girl." cried her mother, why did you not tell us this before? You would have saved us much pain, and your other suitors the humiliation of being rejected." "I did not make up mind until this evening," replied Geraldine. "I do not think I should have accepted him to-morrow. But he was cunning enough to come and propose before I had time for reflection." "You then authorize me to accept him ?" said M. Delisle. " I have accepted him papa," replied Geraldine. That evening Edward entered the house with them, and sat talking for some time, When tie went =a.ry. ho had succeeded in having the wedding fixed for that day month. Geraldine looked pale the next day, and when her mamma noticed it, said she should go to no more parties, as she wished to look well the day she was married, and expressed a wish to go on excur sions to the country instead. Edward came to dinner, looking much pleased but still under the influence of the astonishment which had not yet been effaced from his plump and rosy face. "Why, what do you think?" he said, towards the end of the dinner,-"Alfred de Rougement has left Paris ! All his servants were dismissed this morning, and his steward received orders to meet him at Constantinople." "Indeed!" replied Madam Delisle, gravely, while Geraldine turned deadly pale. "But this room is too close for you, my child." "No, mamma," said she quietly; "bat we are forgetting all about our excursions. I should like to go to Ver sailles to-morrow, and take all the pretty places round Paris in turn." '" Boane !" cried Edward; "that suits me. I shall be with you early, for I suppose you will go in the morning." " I want to breakfast at Versailles," replied Geraldine; "so we must go to bed early." " That I vote to be an admirable pro position. At 11 o'cloqk I will go. But you are going to practice the new vari ations on Pastorie, are you not ?" "Yes, and you are going to sing, monsieur," said Geraldine, rising from the table. "'So come along, and ma and pa can play trictrac all the time." That evening the cousins played and sang together until about ten o'clock. when they took tea, which Edward, good-natured fellow, pretended to like prodigiously, drinking three cups of milk and water, under the serious im pression that it was genuine infusion a practice very common in France. where tea is looked on as dangerous to the nerves. Next day they went to Versailles, breakfasted at the Hotel de Francais. visited the interminable gal leries of pictures, and dined inl Pans at a late hour. The next (lay they vtsi:el Montmorenci. Swiftly passed the hours, and Iday anti weeks, and soon Geraldine sanw thl last day which was to be her own. It twenty-four hours she was to leave tier mother's home forever, to share t'i.t of, a man to whom it must be supposes she was very much attached, but who was not exactly the companion suited tother. Geraldine was very grave that morn ing. It had been arranged that ti.y were to go to St. Germain, and thotzh the sky was a little dark, the yo,ir girl insisted on the excursion not be,tg put off. "This is the last day I shall have ;ny will of my own," said she, "so let me exercise it." " My dear Geraldine," said her cotsin kindly, "you will always find me reldy to yield to you in everything. I shallb be a model husband, for I am too lazy to oppose any one." ·" My dear Edward," put in MaTdarn Delisle, "a man who consults his wi o's happiness will always be happy him self. We are very easily pleased whet we see you try to please us. The rvi.l is everything to us." "Then let us start," said Edw'tr laughing; "it will pass the time, an:l I am eager to try." They entered the open carriae. which they usually used for their exca,. sions, and started-the sun now shi:,_r very brightly. Edward was tfu:ll :t spirits; he seemed bursting with happi ness, and was forced to speak ir'. santly to give it vent. Geraldine was very grave, though she smiled at her cousin's sallies, and now and then wot.li answer in her playful, witty way.- The parents, although happy. were serious too. They were about to lose their last child, and though they knew she would be always near them, a feel ing of involuntary loneliness came over them. A marriage day for affectionate parents is always a day of sorrowlul I pteasurc-a link in the h-.;., o" nao;a. tice which make a parent's live so beautiful and holy, so like that we( can faintly trace ini thought as the love it the Creator ftr mnan. They took the road by Bon-ir:tl. and were within a mile of that place wheni they suddenly found themselv es c(au.it in a shower of rain. The coachrin drove hastily for shelter into the iii .: of a grove of trees, which led up to a villa that appeared totally uninhabite.!. But it was not so, for the porte cothlrci flew wide open as they drew up, and two servants advanced and requested them to take refuge in the house. " But we are intruding," said Madai:, Delisle. " No, madam; our master is not, bhut had he been at home he would insist as we do." Edward leaped out, and set the ex ample of compliance. The whole party followed the servants, who led the way into a splendidly furnished suit of rooms. The style was that of the re naissance of the richest materials, while the walls were covered with genuine paintings from the first masters. The servants then left them, and they were heard the next minute assisting to take the horses from the carriage. The rain fell heavily all the time. "Upon my word, we are very fortn nate," said Madam Delisle, "for in ten minutes we should have been soaked through. The master of the house must be some very noble-minded man : no ordinary person would have such polite and attentive servants." i Come eccentric foreigner," said Ed ward. "All his servants are men; I don't see a single petticoat anywhere.'" "Some woman-hater, perhaps," said the table before her a celebrated satire against the sex. "All the more polite of him," said Madam Delisle, while looking with ab solute horror at a book which she knew spoke irreverently of marriage. '"lf you will pass this way," said a servant, entering, "we shall have the honor to offer you breakfast. The rain has set in for some hours, and ydur ser vants spoke of your wishing to break fast at St. Germain; but you will not be able to wait so long." The whole party looked unfeignedly surprised, but there was no resisting a servant who spoke so politely, and who threw open a door, whence they discov ered a table magnificently laid out. Several servants were ready to wait. "Ma foi!" cried Edward, "there is no resisting such temptation. You seem to know your master's character, and we take your word for it that he would make us welcome." With these words he gave Geraldine his arm, and led the way, setting the example also of attacking the delicate viands offered to them so unexpectedly. All breakfasted with appetite after their ride, and then returned to the room they had first occupied. The shower was now over, and the warm sun was quickly clearing away all sign of the rain. " What a beautiful house and grounds your master has here!" said Edward. " The garden appears even better than the house." n " It is beautiful," said the servant ad. a dressetld. SCan we go over it ?" continue, the I I young man. "Certainly, sir: I was about to offer , to show it to you." ei I shall rerraiai here." said (;Gera i dine. i" M shoeo are very thiui: be sides I wish!i to have another look at the pictures. Edward demurred. but the vc -u girl bade him no at once. and the ohb etient lover took the rmammas arnil and went into the g:i.etrl . The instant ail wire, f _ te.

" What am I to do?" cried Geraldine. "See. my dear cousin, how he loved me. How can I marry you when my heart is given to another?"; shower of raiti asd Edward, with a vain attempt at cravity. " But take het, Mr. Alfedt-I thitik alter all Fm lucky to have escaped her! I dor't forgive you a bit, because it's harI to fini out that when, at lhast, tile thinks ont'e's self beloved, the lady was only preteid-ti ing." "-You forgive me?" inquired Geral dine, shaking her head and putting his I hand into th-at of Alfred, who shook it warmly. . Y Ies, yes of course you're pleased! But I must marry now. I shall ask Helen, of Bordeaux, to have me, as no •body there will know anything of my present mishap." At this moment Mons. and Madam Delisle returned. Their astonishment was of course very great.. Edward gravely introduced the young couple. "You see. madam," he sai~, -that while you were walking round the garden I have managed to lose my wife and you to find a new son-in-law." " But, my Geraldine." exclaimed the mother. "are you not behaving very bad to Edward '" 'Not at all!" said the young man: "I could rot tIhink of mairrying her. Look at her! Five minutes with Alfred has done her more good than all her excursions in search of roses." "Mischievous man to betray me!" said Geraldine in her turn, shaking his hand. " But what will the world say ?" ex claimed Mons. Delisle. "I wilt tell the triuth,' said Alfred, anti in a few words he explained the cause of the refunal of Geraldine to have him. It was now settled that the day should be spent at tie villa, that in the evenrling theyt' should return to Paris without the count, who was to preient hiumself early tile next day. lie agcreed to own fiankly to all his friendts tle ,ieptli and sincerity of his atlct'iioi. while Edtward .c rntl;tiredly vtlunltcer d to tell ev('iy oitne that he had hbein tll 1ned od--a prctnric : wiicht he 2r.ivey k-pt. relatinc hip i o'nllllt ' ii a wiay that drew tears 10 la 1hct' r from a!l his hCarers. .N i Ger,thiin,,: . ; Alfr, I were mar lieJ. to the' isurpl e cf the woril.
