.Soon after he went to Long~ood to

nile from Longwood, at the top OF a

the name OF Sempier Faie. Bonorarte
frequently visited Madame Bertrand, and
observed how very superlorIhe water he
dyank there was to toat which lie got at
LUngwcod On being informed That 1t
was procured from a spring down the
vale, he expressed a wish TO walk and see
the well. lie went there with madam
Bertrand, and, al, er examining the wa
ter, he noticed willow tree growing a
bout ten yards from the we'll. Fl"w,ng
ii in silence he said, Should die on this
Island, should wish to be buried under
that tree; and Twill drink no water but
from this spring" When he returned
home, he furnished one OF his servants,
Cnmese, with two silver bottles, holding
aoou. gallon each, and sent him in
mediateiy to the spring Tor water. The
same Chinese has had no other employ
ment than fetching water in these bottles

that comes from abroad, or Is grown at

on every fresh value that is added to 1T by

which pampers mans appetite, and the
