[t was the house in which the first painter of the Flemish school— the immortal Rubens—was born, A. D. 1577 Sixty years later than this date. the ground floor was occupied by two old people—a shoe- maker and his wife. The upper story, which was usually let to lodgers, was empty at the time we write of. Two, however, occupied the garret. The evening was cold and wet, and the shoemaker and his wife were sitting together in the = pany ““You bad better go up stairs in,’ said man to his wife, * aaa see hen tie poor lady is. The old gentleman went out early, and bas not been in since. Hasshe not taken any- ber “It is only half an hour since I was upstairs. and be had not come in. I took her some broth up at noon, but she hardly touched it, and 1 was up again at three; she was asleep then, and at five she said she should not want anything more. “Poor lady! This time of year, and neither fire nor warm clothes, and not even a decent bed to lie on; and yet I am sure she is some- body orother. Have you noticed the respect with which the old gentleman treats her?” “If she wants for anything it is her own fault. That ring she wears on her finger would get her the best of everything.” Then came a knock at the door; the woman admitted the old man they had just spoken of, whose grizzled beard feil upon his tarnished velvet coat. The hostess sadly wanted to have 8 little gossip with him; but he passed by, and, ing them a short “Good night,” groped his way up the steep and crooked staircase. Un entering the chamber above, a feeble voice in- quired the cause of his long absence. “‘L could not help it,” he said, “I had been copying manuscript, and as I was on my way here a servant met me, who was to fetch me to raise the horoscope of two ladies who were pass- ing through; they were ladies who I have kuown before. I ‘thought I could get a little money to pay for some simples which will be of service to you.”’ “I am cold.” “It is fever cold. I will make you some- thing which you must take directly.” The fiame of a small tin lamp sufficed to heat some water, and the patient, having taken what the old man had provided, was diligently covered up by him with all the clothes and ar- ticles of dress he could find. He stood by her motionless till he perceived that she was fast asleep, and indeed long after; he then retired into a small closet, and Sought repose on the bard floor. The next morning the lady was so much bet- ter that her attendant proposed she should en- deavor to leave the house for a momentor two, and he succeeded in getting her furth as far as the Place St. Cecilia. It was seldom that she left the house, for, notwithstanding the mean- ness of her dress, there was that about her car- riage which rendered it difficult to avoid un- pleasant observation. ** Do you see that person yonder?” she s suddenly. ‘If I am not much mistaken it is certainly the Duke of Guise.”” The stranger’s attention had also been at- tracted, and he hed now upproached them “ Parhlew !”” said he, “why that is Mascali. What, are you married ’”” ‘He does not know me,” sighed the lady. “I must indeed be altered.”” Mascali had, however, whispered a single word in the duke’s car, and he started as if struck by a thunderboit , but instantly reoov- ering himself, he hastily uncovered, and bowed nearly to the ground. “I beg your forgiveness,”’ he said; “ but my eyes are grown so weak, and I could so lit- tle expect to have the honor of meeting your’’—— * For the love of God,” interrupted the lady, hastily, “‘name me not here. A title would too strangely contrast with my present cireum- Stances. tiave you been long in Cologne?” “Three days. I amon my way from Italy. I took refuge there when our common enemy drove me forth, and confiscated all my earthly goods. I am going to Brussels.”” “And what are your advices from France? Is the helm still in the hands of that wretched caitift’"* ~* He is in the zenith of bis power.”” “See. my lordjduke, your fortunes and my own are much alike. You, the sua of a man who. had he not too much despised danger, might well have set the crown on his own head, and [ at once the Queen of the mightiest na- tion in the universe, aud now both of as alike. But adieu,” she said suddenly, and drawing herself dp, “the sight of you, my lord duke, bas refresbed me much, and I pray that fortune once more may smile upon your steps.”’ * Perumit me to attend your majesty to—”’ A slight color tinged the lady's features, as she answered, with a gentle commanding tone : ~* Leave us, wy lord duke, it is our pleasure.”’ Guise bowed low, and taking the ladys hand, he preased it reverently to his lips. At the corner of the street he met some one, to whom he pointed out the old lady, and then hastened away. The next morning a knock at the door an- nounced a person inquiring for Monsieur Mas- cali; she had a smati packet for him, and also # billet. Inside this was distinetly written : “« Two bundred louis d’ors constitute the whole of my fortune : one hundred | send for your use. “Guise.” And the packet contained a hundred louis d’ors. The sum thus obtained sufficed to supply the wants of the pair twolong years. But the last louis had been chanzed, and the lady and her companion were still without friendly succor. ‘The shoemaker and his wite had undertaken a journey to Aix la Chapelle, to take up some small legacy. It was the 13th February, 1642. A low sound of moaning might have been heard issuing from the garret; a withered fe- male form, wore like a skeleton than a thing vf flesh aud blood, was lying on a wretched bed of straw, in the azgonies of death. The moaus grew wore and more indistinct; aslight ratling +n the throat was at length the only audible svund, and this also ceased. An hour later an old man, dressed in rags and tatters, entered the chamber. One only word had escuped bis lips as he tumbled up the falling stairease— “: Nothing’ nothing!’ He drew near the bed listlessly. but in a moment seized an arm of the corpse with an almost convulsive motion, and, letting it suddenly fall, he eried—‘*Dead, dead, of hunger, cold, and starvatio And this lady was Mary of Medicis, wife of Hleury LV, Queen Regent of France; mother «f Louis XIU; of Isabella, Queen of Spain; of dHenriétta.

Eben + A WOMAN OF NERVE. Mrs. Caroline C. Stranbur, » wife of P. P. Stranburg, of this city, says the Bloomington, Iil., Pantagraph, was a Passenger on the Penn- sylvania, which was burned to the water's edge in the Mississippi, sixty miles below Memphis, on Sunday morning, 12th instant. Mra. S left her berth just before the explosion took place ; and when she heard the report, which shook every piece of timber in the boat, she caught hold of her little child, which was only two months old, and rushed into the ladies cabin, at the very moment thata large piece of ma- ehinery came crashing through the floor. She ran to the captain’s room and told him that the boat was on fire, but he said she was mis- taken, and advised her to be calm. She said she was not mistaken, and her manner was s0 earnest that the captain, thinking she mighr be correct, went down to the boiler deck. He returned in a short time, and remarked to Mrs.: “ There is no danger now—the fire bas been subdued Mrs. S., however, would not be convinced ; she insisted that the boat was in flames, and told the captain to make prep- arations for ph | the passengers. As she fin- ished speaking, the flames broke through the cabin door, and in less than a minute the cabin was filled with smoke She saw that the time for action had arrived, and she knew that her life and that of her child depended upon her own exertions; so she went down the private staircase, and was fortunate enough to reach the boiler deck in safety. Knowing that she would perish by fire if is stayed on the boat, she determined to leave it and run the risk of meeting her death by another method. She accordingly seized a board about seven feet long and eight or ten inches wide, and grasping her child with one arm and the board with the other, plunged into the river. The current, owing to the high stage of water, was very rapid, and Mrs. 8. had as much as she could do to keep herself and child above the surface; but she proved equal to the dangerous situation in which she was placed, and her perilous journey down the river would not have been attended with half the danger that it was, if her unselfish heart had not prompted her to save a man who was unable to save himself. A short time after leaving the boat, she saw a man Struggling in the water, aud she knew from his movements that he was too much exhausted to save himself from going to the bottom; so she generously and nobly jeopardized her life to save his; she grasped him by the arm, at the risk of being pulled from her frail support, and assisted him foe upon @ little piece of plank that was ardiy sufficient to keep herself and child above the surface of the Father of Waters. After floating for an hour and a half, the three were rescued by some men, who, having heard the explosion, launched a small boat and start- ed up stream to render assistance to the unfor- tunate sufferers. When the man who was res- cued by Mrs. Stranburg placed his feet in the boat, he tried to express the gratitude which he felt for his preserver; but his heart was so full ot thankfulness that his tongue refused to give utterance to his grateful feelings. Mrs. Strandburg left this city about three months ago, and went to Clinton, Mississippi, her birth- place, where her relatives resic She took passage on the Pennsylvania. at Vicksburg, and was fortunate cones to arrive at her own house in this city, on Monday evening. Her conduct entitles her to the admiration of all who can appreciate a noble act. THE FALLEN GIRLS OF PARIS, A Paris correspondent makes the following highly interesting statements : In London, no lady dare walk out unat- tended after 5 o'clock in the evening, and after 11 o’clock she will have her eyes and ears insulted, no matter how well attended ; while at Paris she may remain in the streets to any hour of the night, and neither have her eyes offended nor her ears insulted. How is this happy result accomplished? In 1851, the official register of the police of Paris showed 4,300 public girls on its books; the number now may be stated at 5,000. These girls, and the houses in which they live, are submitted to a series of stringent laws, which renders them innoxious and inoffensive to the community —the police adopting the principle that, since it is impossible to suppress the evil, it Id be rendered as inoffensive to the publie 7 and to the public salubrity as pos- sible. All these houses are obliged to be closed at 11 o'clock precisely. The girls are obliged to remain in the house, and the windows are always covered with blinds, night and day. A few girls are permitted, here and there, to walk up and down, in front of their door, from 7 to Il o’clock precisely, but it is against the law to accost the passers by. The houses are visited once a week by a medical Md an ordi- nary inspector—real inspectors, appointed hy Government, and not humbugging ward poli- ticians. Another class of girls, and much the larger class, are those who frequent the public bails, concerts, and theatres—girls who live alone in public lodging houses, and who, for the most part, are not enrolled on the police books, nor submitted to the ordinary sanitary regulations. But this class are no mo:e permitted than the rest, either in the street or at their favorite evening resorts, to accost people for the pur- es of commerce. The streets and the publig alls are full of policemen in citizens dress, whose business is to detect such girls as violate the law in regard to addressing people, and to put their names on the police books, thus re- quirirg them to take out a license, and to sub- init to all the police regulations in the new class to which Ave have entered. As a girl regards herself as forever lost when her naine is once placed on the police book, and as she never knows when an officer's eye may be upon her, she takes good care not to violate, if pos- sible, this law prohibiting solicitations in pub- lic. This class are always elegantly dressed— it is notorious even that they ure the first to imitate and to propagate those very fashions which make the tour of the world as the latest Paris modes. Many of them are reserved and elegant in their manners, and require a punc- tiliousness of etiquette which would not be out of place in the most aristocratic saloon. But one of the great aids to the Paris police, in the maintenance of public decency in this class, is the fuct that they do not use strong drinks; a drunken public woman is never seen. Asliquor is the greatest debaser of mankind, this one fact strikes out a marked line of distinction between this class here and in England and the United States. The great majority do net lose their self-respect, and they take good care of their health, hoping later on to reform and tmarricd. This is here the rule, whereas in ingland and the United States, they throw themselves away us fast as possible. eee Ture Moracs or Cutcaco.—The Chicago Times makes revelations implicating the Mayor of the city, one of his police deputies who a deacon of the church, and other parties, in a most degrading and infamous scheme to pro- eure evidence against certain ties for the violation of law. The facts stated were brought out ona trial before the Recorder. It seems from the evidence adduced that Mayor Haines and Deacon Ambrose employed one Jas. Brown to visit disreputable houses for the purpo e of cohabitation with the inmates, in order to se- cure personal knowledge which would admit of no doubt, and result in the conviction of the poor fallencreatures. Deacon Ambrose admits that he did so employ Brown, and Brown swears that he did so act, and received from Deacon Ambrose ‘nine dollars per week avd expenses.’’ This money came out of the city treasury, and Brown has been thus employed since the mid- dle of March. {[> There is one way by which conseription is avoided in Egypt.
