not wholly bad. Its establishment

of the North men. Hungry barbari

In this hopeless condition of aflairs,
Charles the liald was but too happy
to appoiut immwin urasde-ler, or
Baldwin with the Iron Arm, forester
of Flandera. His courage, celerity
and forosight were widely celebrated,
and his name inspired confidence in
his friends and terror in his enemies.
Unlike many rulers of distant prov
inces, he presented himself punctually
at court at the appointed seasons, and
ofierod with graceful promptitude a
report at least of all such proceedings
as could by any possibility reach the
ear of his passionate and grasping
lord. Amidst perpetual strife, tin
quick obedience wan irresistibly sooth
ing, and the monarch regarded with
pleasuro the warrior who, unyielding
to others, submitted so readily to him
self. Beyond this he was conveniently
blind. JUivided between exaggerated
notions of his own auguHt majesty
and the perplexities and disappoint
ments entailed by his lrequont and
ill-conducted wars, ho never dreamed
of the secret cause of that submission
which, if wanting, he would have
found so difficult to enforce. Vigor
ous, pereevering and ambitious, Bald
win was also endowed largely with
that firmness and self control which
conveys aa impression of rigidity and
coldness. lie may liavo lcen stern.
Lifo at that period was little better
than a constant warfare, by which all
the harsh tendencies of men were
brought out and exaggerated, but ho
had one warm spot in his heart, and
it was filled by the emperor's daughter
Judith. The princess was, it is true,
only a child, but her exquisite loveli
ness, her arch and winning ways, her
instinctivo delicacy, the rare promise
of a noble womanhood, visible even
then, attracted sdl who knew her.
Youug as she was, the shrank from
hor despotic father, and a nervous
dread, a sad foreboding, settled upon
her heart. . This never wholly left her
except in Baldwin's presence. She
knew that ho loved hor before he had
spoken of love. She saw it in his
eyes, she heard it in his voice, she felt
it in the vory atmosphere which en
veloped them. She sunned herself in
his smiles. She rested in the con
templation of his vast and practical
strength. He satisfied her idoal. His
great personal beauty harmonizing
perfectly with his stately symmetry of
form, his manner, not without haugh
tiness toward others but gentle aud
tender toward her, his martial fame
fairly won and as fairly sustained,
completed to hor thought the model
of a hero. Her heart Teapod gladly
at his avowal of auction, and her
betrothal kiss was to her as sacred as
a baptism. They carefully concealed
their attachment, however, for Bald
win knew how impossible it would be
to obtain the emperor's consent to
their union unless ho should first so
strengthen himself in his province as
to make it unwise for him to refuse.
Ho returned to his duties, not without
anxiety, but still with the hope that
the extreme youth of Jus betrothed
would secure her for a time, at least,
from iter father's interferences.
ne waa' mistaken. Because tho
emperor was neithpr wiso nor strong,
Judith must help sustain the splendor
of his throne by a wedding ring.
Nearly a year before, .Lthelwuir, Jung
of England, with his son" Alfred,
afterward Alfrod the Ureat, nau visited
the French court on his way te Rome,
and had been charmed with the young
princess. Absence had but incroased
his passion, and now he return od to
the capital and proposed for her hand.
Charles accepted at once, peremptorily
informod his daughter of the engage
ment he had made for her, and plung
ed deeply into the necessary plans for
the wedding festivities. Separated
from her lover, in mortal fear of her
father, conscious that not one perso'n
in the court would sustain hor in an
effort to carry out her own wishes,
Judith yielded. She was married in
the palace of Verberie, by Hinomar,
Bishop of Rheims, who placed a dia
dem upon her head and hailed her
Qucon of England.
As if to punish Charles for tho sac
rifice of a child, as yet scarcely iwolve
years old, Etholwulf received intelli-
genco luai an ciuvbi son jiueiutuu
had risen in arms against him, and
when the wedded pair returned to
their dominions, the King was forbid
den to enter because he had given his
wife the title of Quoen without the
consent of the country, had eaten at
the samo tablo with her, and had
placed her boside him in a chair of
state, thus violating the laws of the
West Saxons. Ethelwulf shuddered
at the prospect of civil war. and sur
renderee! to ins son me larger portion
of his kingdom, lie was more firm
with regard to Judith's coronation,
and it was performed with great aol-
. if. , .i i
emmty. Aiierwaru winy ww
Kent, whera they lived iu much pri
vacy.
Ethelwulf survived his marriage
only two year. J
Buldwin sull remained a tacncior,
and notwithstanding the gentle court
esy and loving care which had marked
her husband's manner, it was not
strange that Judith's heart turned to
him when death released her from hor
enforced vows. But she was doomed
to a now disappointment- Ethelbald,
the san-ia-law who had so violently
opposed her, had passed from enmity
to admiration. Already despised by
the people for his profligacy and hated
by them for his tyranny, ho filled the
measure of his sin by compelling his
stepmother to marry him. . Thewholo
country was aroused, nd the clergy
denounced the bridegroom in most
unmeasured terms. Tke royal tyrant
trembled. His religioui scruples were
awakenod, his passing iincy had been
crratified. He put aside the bride ho
had 60 eagerly sought, ind passed the
remainder of his days it what appears
to have been sincere penitence.
Viie nnrst more, Judith sold tho
possessions the had received as her
dower, and aet out for Franco. On
her way she was splendidly received
and entertained by Baklwin, who ex
hausted for her pleasure all the re
sources of his little eourt. Still he
had not troops enough to venture upon
any decisive Btep, and Judith forgetful
of her father's cruelty and ambition
hoped that hor new dignity would
protect her from his violence. No
sooner, however, was she fully in his
power, than he shut her up in the
convent of Senlie. till he might sell
her to the King of Navarre. lor
this sovereign she felt the strongest
aversion, and at the same time her
atlection far Baldwin had been im
measurably increased by their recent
meeting. He commended himself to
her womanhood, as he had always
done to her childhood. 11 is raro en-

love satishod her heart. Ihey were
drawn more closely together than they
had ever been before, and believed
themselves necessary to and sufiiciont
for each other. She resolved that she
would marry no one but him, and the
was sustained in ' this determination
by her brother, Louis, (the Stammerer,)
who fully appreciated the injustice
with which she had been treated, and
was willing to brave even his father's
wrath to aid her. No long time
elapsed before circumstances lavored
the lovers. Louis was left Regent of
the kingdom during tho absence of
Charles, and Judith, with his conni
vanre, escaped from tho convent and
joined her lover beyond the walls.-

ly performed, and Judith lied to Flan
ders, while Baldwin defeated the troop
sent against him by Charles. , .
The latter breathed only fire and
slaughter, but as a preliminary step
he ordered Anselin, Archbishop of
Rheims, to excommunicate his new
son-in-law for carrying otf a widow.
For a moment Judith's courage failed.
Had fho darod so much and suffered
so much only to be disappointed at
last? The memory of the past settled
darkly upon her. Her child-dream,
delicious indeed, although eager and
unrestful, had none of tho vividness
aud power imparted by a mature wo
manhood, yet how painful had been
itucloee! How bitter were the tears
shod over its memorials when they
wore caiefully locked from sight.
What an agony of passion had swept
ovor her as tho wedding ring was
forced upon her reluctant hand I Ah,
that ring, how it had fretted and
galled her! how it had rasped and
stung her! how it had ruled. her
movements, .tyrannizod over her im-
Jmlses, fettered her very thoughts!
low its baleful gleam had Hashed
over her whole world and struck out
for her all its light and beauty ! And,
alas! now that a welcome band re
placed the hated circle, a band which
hot from its golden round a thousand
hues of promise, it might at any mo
ment be broken with contempt, and
be tossed into the flames liko a dis
carded joy! All Flunders trombled
for its lord ; but Baldwin, outwardly
at least, remained unmoved. In the
dawn of the affection which was to
control his life he ' had hesitated.
Numbering and measuring the obsta
cles before him, ho had to some extent
cheeked his fancy and curbed his in
clinations,' but of late he had given
himself wholly to his delirious passion.
Forgetting the past, ignoring the
future, ho had loved only in the pass
ing hour. What he had won, too, he
was ready to defend. He had often
raised his sword for the Emperor ; if
driven to extremity, he would try its
edgo against him. Tho case must,
howover, be submitted to the Tope,
Nicholas I, who might, f he should
choose, avert the dire calamity of a
prolonged and devastating war. Del
egating his authority to the most trust
worthy of his friends, Baldwin re-
Iairod to Rome with his young bride.
Ie laid the history of the case fairly
and fully Wore the Tontiff, declared
hit resolution to yield neither to per
suasion nor force, and, without stop
ping to threaten, reminded his Holi
ness that the r lomirgs, chafing under
tho control of France, would rise to a
man if a leader should offer, and that
nothing out an alliance with tho
Northmen was ' required to hurl
Charles from his throne, and lay Fans
in ashes. ' Nicholas at once sided with
Baldwin, and when to his clear and
vivid statements were addod the tears
and prayers of Judith, ho became so
much interested in the handsome
couple that he not only interdicted the
decree of excommunication, but sent
two ambassadors to intorcode with
Charles in their favor. The angry
emperor received them coldly, and a
second time convenod an assembly of
Gallic bishops to discuss the unwel
come marriage. Tho members had
boforo secretly favored Baldwin ; now
supported by tho Rope, some of them
spoke boldly. Charles bimself quailed
bofore n vision of tho disaffeotod
Flominga and the Northmen roady to
eweep down by land ana soa. lie
admitted the runaways to an inter
view, and gave crccrs lor a secoua
and coremomous" marriage. After
this Baldwin rocoivod as an apanage,
to hold of tho King of Franco and to
transmit to his descendants, the coun
try lying between the ocean and the
rivers Scheldt and Somme, with tho
titlo of Mark Grave, or Warden of
tho Marches, a title which his de
scendants afterward changed to that
of Count of Flanders.
Baldwin's career was one of cease
less activity. From first to last he
planned against, fought against, toiled
against tho happy brood of the North.
Ho enlargod and fortified Bruges, his
capital ; built his castellated palace at
Ghent; founded abbeys, around which
cities afterward aroso, great centres of
industry, wealth and power : erected
fortresses and enlarged churches.
Feeling the approach of death, he
entered his favorite abbey, and, clad
in the monastic habit, watched over
by tho assiduous and admining to
mato, ho Tae3ed quietly away. A. 1

except that she was a home-loving
and devoted ' mother, and that her
children repaid her care. Her son.

The Fcetry of the Steam Engine.
Thoro is nothing awfully grand
in tho cont n plition of a vast steam
engine. Sit n i amid its ponderous
beams and bur, wheels and cylenders,
and watch their unceasing play; how
regular and how powerful! The ma
chinery of a lady s Geneva watch is
cot more nicely adjusted the rosh of
list avalanche is not more awful in its
strength. Old Gothic cathedrals are
solemn places, preaching solemn
things; but to a deep tluuker, an
engine room may preach a more sol
emn lesson still. It will toll him of
mind mind wielding matter at its
will mind triumphing over physical
difficulties man asserting his great
supremacy " intellect buttling with
the elements." And how exquisitely
complete is every detail! how subor
dinate every part toward the one great
end! how every, little bar and screw
fit and work together! Vast as is the
machine, let a bolt be but tho tenth
part of an inch too long or too short,
and tho whole fabric is disorganized.
It is one complete piece of harmony
an iron essay upon unity of design
and execution. There is deep poetry
in the steam engine more of the
poetry of motion than in the bound
of an antelope more of tho poetry of
power than in the dash of a catcract.
And ought it not to be a lesson to
thoso who laugh at novelties, and put
no faith in inventions, to consider that
tho complex fabric, this triumph of
art and science, was once the laugh
ing stock of jeering thousands, and
once only tho waking phantasy of a
boy's mind as he Bat, and, in soemicg

Good Will.
Among the many contrasts between
aristocratic and democratio communi
ties, one of tho most imp ortant in its
effect upon human happiness is tho
great difference in the degree of sym
pathy between individuals who chance
to bo in different positions or pursuits.
One of the most impressive pictures
in the Dussuldorf gallery was that
representing the grinding tyranny in
which the jor weavers of Silesia are
held by their employers. Tho famous
poet, James .Hogg- the "Ettrick
Shepherd " was invited by some of
the nobility of England to visit them
at their house., and he said that while,
in directly addrohsiugliini, they were
perfectly polite, ho could see, in their
talking with each other, that they re
garded all thoso belonging to the non
noble classes as an entirely distinct
people as distinct as the planters in
our Southern States rcgardod their
negro slaves. No one can como in
contact with any portion of English
society without porceiving that it is
pervaded with tint sentiment of class.
The universal fooling is, that persons
should be taught to know their placo,
and that they should not attompt to
rise above their position. The desire
is quito as strong to keep others down
as to got up themselves, This is seen
oven in their charities, which take the
form of alms-giving, and degrado the
recipients.
On the other hand, in democratio
communities, Iho general spirit is to
give every ' man a free chance to rise
just as high ns he can ; and even in
many cases to give him a friendly lift
upward. How uniformly have the
great sums, so lavishly givon away in
this country, been directed to elevate
in the scale of humanity the least
favored portions of the community I

Along with this kindly feeling there
is one also of mutual respect. . Gen
erally the nativo born American who
employs men in his manufactory or
his businoss, looks upon them as fel
low citizens, and not as hostile and
degraded enemies. He has an in
stinctive conscOianess that the prac
tice of petty tyranny is degrading to
the one who practices it, as well as to
the one upon whom it is intlicted ; and
that there is infinite dignity in the
observance of manly courtesy towards
all with whom ho hai to deal. There
is also a quiet self-rofpcct among
workmen, in striking contrast with
the extreme severity gonorally observ
ed abroad.
We havo sometimes thought that
the rapid growth of .wealth, the in
creasing congregation of poople in
large cities, and tho influenco of for
eign immigration, both of employer,
and employed, were tending to build
up a hostile clatts-fceling in this coun

Tho Iouao that was a Hat.
A lady sat alone in her chamber.
Thoro was a nibbling sound behind
the fire-board, which was not a board,
but onlv a frame covered with tsloth.
The lady had some funny notions ;
mice seemed to her liko little plump
children ; she liked thorn.
44 There," said she, 44 is a mouse ;"
and she dropped some crumbs behind
tho fire-board. This ho did every
day whon she heurd a movement in
tho fire-placo. 44 Mice," said she, "are
innocent; I never feat them. But
rats! Ah! they are dreadful." The
lady hoped, by and by, to coax the
mouso out into her room. Sho lived
alone and was fond of peta.
Once or twice thero came aruinst
the frame of the fire-screen a gnawiti
so etroDg and loud that tho laily was
startled. 44 What if a rat were there
where I think is but a harmless mouso?"
was the quick thought that mndo her
flesh creep with terror. But she
would not allow hereelf to believe
such a thing possible ; neither would
sho remove the fire-frame, to examine
the darkness behind it. 44rehaw?
And she continued to pamper it with
uaiuueq. '
At last, ono evonirr, as tho sat bv
her table writing, she heard a Grange
hoiso, ana, Turning towards it, saw,
with great affright, a monstrous rat,
sitting on her hearth-stone, and gnzing
wiia uoiu ami wickcu eyes upon her.
The poor nervous lady was made quite
sick by tho dicgust and terror which
this revelation caused her.
vuimren, mere is a moral to my

cold as I consider that of which this
story is a figure. How many of you
are cherishing sins'which you consider
only as innocent mice, but which are
really as strong and daucrerous rats,
waiting their time to spring out upon
you and have you in their powor?

An Exhumod City.
A most singular discovery has been
made on tho French coast, near tho
mouth of the Garonne. A town has
boen discovered buried in the sand,
and a church has already been ex
tracted from it.' Its original plans
shows it to have been built near tho
close of tho Roman Empire, but
changes made in it have given it the
appearance of an edifico of mixed
style in which Gothic architecture has
usurped tho place of the Roman.
Tho original paintings, its nduiirubly
sculptured choir and Roman capitals,
are adorned with profuse ornaments,
which are attracting a numbor of
visitors. Tho torn pie is all that re
mains of thoso ancient cities described
by l'liny and Strabo. Tho Gulf of
Gascony abounds in ruins of these
ancient cities. It has beon 1,500
years since Novigamus, the old capi
tal of Modoc, which - wns a vory cclo
bratod city when the Romans were
masters of Gaul," was buried under
tho ocean. Of all that tract of terri
tory Roche du Cordonon alone is
visibloj the remains of Roman roads,
the site of Jupiter's temple, ' the ves
tiges of the Spanish Moors, and the
roads to " Elanor du Guyenno have
boen rcscuod from tho pauds in tho
neighborhood of the long buried city
of Soulac. Nowhere has the erosion
of the ocean been greater than on the
coast of Gascony.

Tho Atlantic Cable.
The London Teton nh, of May 23,
has the following interesting account
of the preparations on board the
Great Eastern for laying the ocoan
telegraph cable :
THE DIFFERENCE BSTWKES 1858 AJTD 18C5.
A visit was paid to the Great East
ern a few days sinco by a large party
of the directors' friends, and it may
bo said that all who understood the
preparations which they saw, came
away with a greatly strengthened con
fidence in the future of tho new cable.
Since lboH, when the first Atlantic
line was laid, the advance that ham
been made by the scientific world
towards comprehending electrical phe- '
nomena is very great. It has been
said, by a man well qualified to speak
on the subject, that electric science
has passed, tince that time, from ita
childhood to its maturity. So far as
the phenomena connected with' long
electric circuits wore concerned, we
had in 1858 no knowlodge whatever.
The instrument in common use were
unsuited to receiving signalj through
a great lougth of cabu ; tho necessity
of providing for the conductor an
insulation so perfect as to approach
an absolute condition was inadequate
ly appreciated.
1 he Leot preliminary test for a long
cablo had not beeu devised, and tho
old Atlantic telegraph was laid with
out having been subjected to any
Bearchinjr test on shore. Everybody
had advise to give concerning the
management of the wire, but no one
recommended the precautions which
subsequent experience has showd to
be necessary. hen the signals be
gan to fuil the battery powor was aug- .
mented, and electro-magnetic induc
tion coild, which rapidly helped on
tho destruction of the conductor, were .
put in circuit. No ono thought of
"nursing" tho cable of humoring1
its feeble attempts at articulate utter
ance, and cf finding out what it said
rather by lLteuiug acutely than by
constantly calling on it, in the lan
guage of the Victoria gallery, to
"puak up." The old cable, however, ,
is dead and gone ; part of it has been , .
picked up and applied to ignoble uses,
as a race horse pust his work may be
put into the shafts of a Hansom ; part '
of it has been abandoned, and lies .
where it may rest till the end of time,
in the 44 dark, unfathomcd caves " of "
the deep sea. Let us turn to the '
practical present. . .

The Great Eastern looks just now
moro like an' engineer's work-shop ""
than a eea-going ship. -The vast ex- -panses
of her deck are covered with",
wooden sheds and piles of timber.
There are smiths' forges below, and
between the decks you might fancy
yourself in a machinist's factory. ;
Tho great engines of the ship, it is
true, have lost tho bright look of ma
chinery which is in constant use ; and
the huge dull masses of iron seem '
asleep, or iu a trance. If you descend
the ladders which lead to the boilers
and furnaces tin expedition which is
more like going down a mino than
any other to which it can be compared
you find yourswlf in the midst of i
darkness solitude and cold; but in

what is being done, you see something
more than this that scientific fore-"
sight of the highest order directs every f

coarse and rough to appearance, which
lies coiled away undor water in the '
tanks of tho thip,-is manufactured, '

as tho nicest optical instrument in an,
astronomer's observatory, or tho most :
delicate apparatus of fragile glass ever

THE SUEZ CANAL.'
The groat canal for connecting the
Rod Sea with tho Mediterranean is so
far advanced as to bo navigable for
small barges through its whole length,
with tho exception of one point where -a
large lock is iu process of construc
tion; a transhipment is required afr
this placo. Thtf advanco of tho work
to this stngo was celebrated on the 7th'
of April by what was called "an open
iug of the canal," this being the sec-;
ond "opening," which has been pub
licly celebrated.
The canal when completed will be
about. lfO miles long, and 3u0 feet
wide at tho water liue, with its bottom.
20 fcot below the level of tho Medi
terranean. The projector of the en
terprise is M. F. do Lesseps, a French
man, who obtained a grant in 1&54
from the Egyptian Government of the
right of wuy for 00 years, on condi
tion of paying 15 per cent of the net
profits to that1 government. He then
tunned a joint stock company, with a -capital
of $10,000,000, on condition
that 75 per cent of tho profit should'
bo divided among the stock holders,
15 per cent should be paid to tho
Egyptian Government, and 10 por
cent should go to the originators of
the onterprizo. On these terms the
stock was taken up, 118,000,000 by
tho Egyptiun Government, and the ro-'
mainder by capitalists in l'aris and
London. It is stated that contracts
have been mado for the completion of
tho several parts of the work by the
1st of July, It OS. Tho distanco from
New -York to Bombay, in India, is
now by tho Capo of Good Hope, 18,

canal it will be 11,'JS'l miles, the new
route thus shortening tho voyoga
moro than 7,000 miles.
