THE AMERICAN. of encouragement and admiration. How could she fail to be the dupe of such language, conceal' ing though it did such dark and fatal projects? Struck with the Jesuit's rare intelligence, feel ing her curiosity greatly excited by some myster ious words that he had purposely uttered, hardly explaining to herself the strange influence which this pernicious counsellor already exercised over her, and animated by respectful compassion for a man of his age and talents placed in so precar ious a position, Adrienne said to him, with all her natural cordiality. "A man of your merit and character, 6ir, ought not to be at the mercy of the caprice of circumstances. Some of your words have opened a new horizon before me; I feel that, on many points, your counsels may be of the greatest use to me. Moreover, in coming to fetch me from this house, and in devoting yourself to the service of other persona of my family, you have shown me marks of interest which I cannot forget without ingratitude. You have lost a humble but secure situation. Permit me- " Not a word more, my dear young lady," said Rodin, interrupting Mdlle. de Cardoville, with an air of chagrin. " 1 feel for you the deepest sym pathy; I am honored by having ideas in common with you; I believe firmly that-some day you will have to ask advice of the poor old philoso pher; and, precisely because of all . that, I must and ought to maintain towards you the most complete independence." " But, sir, it i8 I that would be the obliged party, if you deigned to accept what I offer." "Oh, my dear young lady," said Rodin, with a smile; " I know that your generosity would al ways know how to make gratitude light and easy; but, once more, I cannot accept anything from you. One day, perhaps, you will know why" "One day?" " It is impossible for me to tell you more. And then, supposing I were under an obligation to you, how could I tell you all that was good acd beatiful in your actions? Hereafter, if you are somewhat indebted to me for my advice, so much the better; I shall be the more ready to blame you if I find anything to blame." "In this way, sir, you would forbid me to be grateful to you. "No, no," said Rodin, with apparent emotion. "Oh, believe me! there will come a solemn mo ment, in which you may repay all, in a manner worthy of yourself and me." This conversation was here interrupted by the nurse, who said to Adrienne as she entered: "Madame, there is a little humpbacked workwo man down stairs, who wishes to speak to you. As, according to the doctor's new orders, you are to do as you like, I have come to ask, if I am to bring hei op to you. She is so badly dressed, that 1 did not venture." " Bring her up, by all means," siid Adrienne, hastily, for she had recognized Mother Bunch by the nurse's description. " Bring her up directly." "The doctor has also left word, that his carriage is to be at your orders, madame; are the horses to be put to? " "Yes, in a quarter of an hour," answered Adri enne to the nurse, who went out; then, addressing Rodin, she continued: " I do not think the mag istrate can now be long, before he returns with Marshal Simon's daughters." " I think not, my dear young lady; but who is this deformed workwoman?" asked Rodin, with an air of indifference. " The adopted sister of a gallant fellow, who risked all in endeavoring to rescue me from this house. And, sir," said Adrienne, with emo tion, " this young workwoman is a rare and ex cellent creature. Never was a nobler mind, a more generous heart, concealed beneath an ex terior less ;" But reflecting, that Rodin seemed to unite in his own person the same moral and physical con trasts as the sewing-girl, Adrienne stopped 6hort, and then added, with inimitable grace, as she looked at the Jesuit, who was somewhat aston ished at the sudden pause: "No; this noble girl is not the only person who proves how loftiness of soul, and superiority of mind, can make us indifferent to the vain advantages which belong only to the accidents of birth or fortune." At the moment of Adrienne speaking these last words, Mother Bunch entered the room. Our B00I5 Catalogue. ANTI-ROMAN BOOKS. "FIFTY YEARS IN THE CHURCH ! OF ROME," by Rev. Chas Chlnl quy; cloth, 12.00.

MCNftMftKft, The Converted Priest, has brought through Press His New Book, entitled "Rev. Mother Rose. A Bishop and Two Priests." Price in Paper Cover 25 cts. Sent by Mail. US rnl.MKKS. MY II. W. HOWMAN. Papal pills are sugar ccaKd. Credulity is the basis of Rome's re ligion. Get a papUt to thinking and the priest will curse you. The priest's blindest eye is on the side where the most money comes from. A Bible Is the most hurtful book a papist can read if we Judge from Rome's past acts. No man can walk with civilization and stay In the woods of papal super stition. Rome wears a religious cloak, yet has a cold heart . A confessional box Is the tomb 01 self-respect. Wearing a cross does not cure cross ness. Hatred is nursed by papal prejudice. The brighter history shines the dark er Rome'e record. It is hard to convince a papist who lets the priest do his thinking. To know that popery la a curse makes a man want to rid the earth ot It. i Keeping knowledge in the hands ot the priest starves the minda of the people. You can never tell what a papist will do out ot a church by his looks ot de votion within. Rome haa trouble with the man who does hia own thinking. Popery throws the most mud at the whitest garmenta. The priest does an evil day'a work when he gets a child to go to the paro chial school. Every dollar In Rome's possession is stamped with fraud. No man's Influence Is so small but what he could make It tell against Rome. When Rome gives money ene always puts a chain of power on it Truth is always ready to go to war; error will run at the first opportunity. Every fact la an antidote for some foolish fancy. Fighting truth Is an old trick ot popery; and it has become an adept at it When a man sees the truth he be holds the deformities of error. A Hap of the United State.
