A REPUBLICAN MARRIAGE By Qo\j Mason lovely countenance of the fair Helene as she drew bridle at the cross roads which separated her estates from the municipality of Angers, Maine et Loire. That section of the country was comparatively quiet, and heard but subdued mutterings of the distant storm. -As the lady hesitated over her choice of roads, a ragged peasant accompanied by two children, whose tattered garments scarcely concealed their nakedness, approached her prancing steed.
