A Claim To Human Gratitude

Charlotte Clorday, the sad-faced tender hearted peasant girl of Normandy made great history by one depeiate act. Sickened by the saturnalia of the French Rovolution, and moved to desperation as Robespierre and Marat were leading the flower of France to the guillotine, she determined that she would put an end to Marat's bloody reign. Marat had demanded two hundred thousand victims for the guillotine. He proposed to kill off the enemies of the Revolution to make it perpetual! Horrible thought! No wonder it fired the blood of this patriotic peasant maid! Gaining access to bis closely guarded quarters by asubterfuge, shefound him in nis bath, even then inexorable and giving directions for further slaughter! He asked her the names ot the inimica. deputies who had taken refugeiu Caen. She told him, and he wrote them down. 'ïhat is vvell! Before a week is over they shall all be biought to the guillotine." At these words, Charlotte drew from her bosom the knife, and plunged it wilh Bupernatural f o ree up t" the hiltin the heart of Marat. "Come to me my dear friend, come to me," cried Marat, and expired uuder the blow! Iu the Corcoran gallery at Washington is a famous painting of Charlotte, represented aa behind the prison bars the day before her execution. It is a thrilling, sad picture, full i f soirow for her suffering country, anu of unconquerable bate for her country's eneunes. Wuat a lessou in this tragic story! Two hundred, nay, üve hundred thousand peoole would Marat have sacrifleed lo nis unholy passion of power! Methods are quite as munlerous and inexorable as men, and they number their victims by the millions. The page of history is full of murdersby authority aud by mistaken ideas! In the practice of medicine alone how many hundreds of millions have been allowed to die and as many more killed by unjuatiöóble bigotry and bv bungling! But the age is bettering. Men and methods are improviug. A few years ago it was worlh one's professional life to advise or permit the use of a propritarr medicine. To-day there are not two physicians iu any town iu this country who do not regularlv prescribe some forra of proprietary remedy. H, II.
