A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

On the 3lst of August, l77S, (says Baron Grim,
from whom translate the story,) at nine in the
evening, ship Rochelle carrying u crew of eight
men, with two passengers, approached the head of
the pier at Dicppc. The wind was so mpctuous
that coasting pilot endeavored in vain, four times
to go out, and direct ITS entrance into the port BouS
Sard, another pilot pcrcciying that the pilot of the
ship made false mauopuvre, which placed it in
great danger, cndcavored to guide it, by means of
the speaking trumpet and by signals but the dark
ness of the night and roaring of the winds, the noise
ot the waves, and the great agitation of the sea- pre-
vented the Captains hearing seeing any thing,
and the vessel, running upon a rock, was wrecked
thirty taihoms above the pier. Boussard, hearing

utmost danger. of pcrishing. in spite of all the rep
resentntions made TO him of the impossbity of Civ

save them, aud ordered his wife aud children, who
cndeavored to prevent him. to he carried away. He

thrown back again TO the Shore by the mighty force
OF the waters. Many times Inc thus repulsed,
and rolled with violence along the shores. while he
was surrounded by broken relics of the ship, which
was going TO pices very fast. His ardor was not

diminished-a wave carried him under the wreck,
and he was concluded to be lost when he soon re-
appeared, bearing in his a sailor who had been
thrown from the ship; he brought him on shore
motlonless, and almost lfelcss At length, after
great number of vain attempts he succeeded In con-
yeyng the rope tn the vessel, and those OF the crew
who had strength enough remaining, tying It around
them, they dragged on shore. Boussard thought
he saved every soul on board. Exhausted with fa-
gue, bruised and battered with the blows and shocks
he had received, he reached his home with difficult
ty, ahd there fell down in a swoon. He was just
brought to himself, having discharged vast guam
ty of sea water, and recovering his spirits when
he told that groaning still heard on board
the wreck.
The moment he learned this, he seemed inspired
with new strength, and breaking away from those
who were about him, % the shore, got Oh board
and was fortunate Oh to save of the pas
sengers, who, from weakness, had not been able to
avail himself of the assistance given to his compan-
ions. Of ten men who had been in the ship, only
two pershed and their bodies found the next
day. On this occasion, the following letter was
written by NJ. Necker Boussard agreeable to the
order of Louis XVI:
''Brave mani | did not know till yesterday, by
means of the Intendant, the courageous action you
performed on the thrty-frst of August | gave an
ccount of it to the King, who has ordered me to
express his satisfaction, aud to announce you
his part tlat ne makes you present OF Il tnOuSafd
llyres, and gives you an annuity besides, of three
hundred lvres. | write with orders to this effect to
the lntendant. Continue to succour others when
you can, and put up prayers for your good King,
who loves brave men, and delights to reward them"
(SIgneJ) "NECKER,"
Director General of the Finances
The courageous pilot received this letter, and the
reward which accompanied it, with the utmost graf
ltude only expressing surprise, that this action of
the thirty first of August should have made such a
noise, since he had shown the zeal on many
other occasions without thinking of any reward,
or receiving any. After paying his debts, and buy
ing clothes for his wife and children-a thing
which he had rarely been able to do before,-he
asked permission of the Intendent to go to Paris,
and thank NJ. Neekcr, and see, if possible, the
young King who 4" loved brave men, and delighted
to reward them" He went to Paris in the sailors
dress which he had formerly bought for his wedding.
Some one having asked him what could have in
splred him with an intrepidity SO rare, he answered
in these remarkable words " humanity and the
death of my father. He was drowned: was not
in the way to save him, and | swore from that mo-
mcnt to devote myself to the rescue of all whom |
might behold in danger at sea-" Was ever more
pure more sublime homage offered to filial piety.

BYRON's HORROR OF GROWING FAT

There was one most amiable trait in Byron's
character, to which none Of his biographers have
done justice, although it showed his superior udg-
ment no less than his exquisite TASTE and refined
sensblllty namely, his unconquerable horror of
growing fat In fatness there is neither poetical
nor moral fitness; corpulency any tendency to it,
being very unseemly garb for so any tendency to
1t, being very unseemly garb for so exceedingly
rare and ethereal quality as genius. We do not
believe there is single instance of great poet or
great genius of any kind (settng aside Gibbon) who
has been remarkably fat. Look at Dantes lank
jaws, as we behold him in his portraits or again

mini and then doubt the correctness of our theory

quarters of it-fat While he was lean starving.
his in its ascendency but lie petit corpo-
wonderful alacrty in sinking" Justly, therefore,
does the poet say,
Twas fat not fate, by which Napoleon fell"
Nothing can be antipoctical, unheroc, or un-
sentimental than fat. In prize it is admirable;
nor may it perhaps, unqualify man for writing

IN arithmetic by the force of his iraagina alton auc
memory alone. In the month of May last, he was
examined by the civil governor of Kostro,na. wheI.
he answered every question put to him with the utmost
exactness; and shortly after professor Prev ostchiko
on visiting the establishments of public instruction,
had an occasion of witnessing the extraordinary feas
in the way ofcaculation performed by this boy. An
enumeration OF the questions put to this arithmetcian
is then given in the " Memoirs !" but as they are
much the in nature and difficulty as those
which have been resolved in this country by calcu-
latng boys, shall not weary the patience of our
readers by transcribng them. 1t is said that he
resolves these intricate questions with the greatest
ease and scarcely takes his eyes from the other
children of the gymnasium, who are playing around
him. One of these problems is perhaps worth sta
ting account ofits complexity ltwas as follows:
A certain humber of pools of sugar were purchased
for 800 rubles, if three pools more had been bough,
for the same sum, it would have happened that each
pood would have cost three rubes less. The ques-
ton then is, how many pools were purchasedl On
this being proposed the boy appeared little en-
barrassed. He balanced one of his feet on the 9TH
er, and turning his head aside, remained without
moving for the space of seventeen minutes. He then
replied" twenty poods. Astonished at the accuracy
of the answer, the examiner asked him how he had
arrived at this conclusion, but he could extract no
satisfactory information from the child, but from
what he said it appeared that he had arrived at a
knowledge of the true number by successive sup
positions of numbers. The Emperor of Russia, on
paying the gymnasium of Kostroma a visit, saw
young Petro and had him examined in his presence,
and after expressing his admiration of his extraor-
binary faculty, ordered the civil governor to place
the sum of 1000 rubes interest for the benefit of
the boy and instructed the director of the
to have him taught to read and write in the Russian
German, and French languages

A GOOD JOKE,

NAPOLEON AND THE TYROLESE.

During the campaign of 1909, Napoleon arrived
at Brunn, in Moravia. He had to pass the old gate:
steep ascent leads TO this gate, contiguous to which
stands several houses. One of these houses was
occupied by mechanic, as dwelling and work.
shop Among the journeymen there was native
OF 'yrol, an industrious and worthy fellow, but like
al ms countrymen a furious enemy to Napoleon
and the French, On the morning that the Emperor
rode to the Spielberg, the Tyrolcse was missing.
His comrade was just talking of him. when the ap-
prentice entered the shop, and mentioned that he
had seen the Tyroese at the window of the loft This
awakened curiosity, and the master went up to the
loft TO look after the man. There he found hin,
kneeling at the window, with a gun ready cooked
laying before him, and his eyes fixed on the roadb
which Napoleon must necessarily pass. As the
house stood on the declivity of the h consequent
ly lower than the gate, the Emperor on horseback,
at the moment when he came up to the gate, would
have been nearly line with the window where
his humble foe had posted himself and the distance
would have been small, that scarcely any marks
man, and least of all a Tyroese, could have missed
his aim. A few minutes after the master had dis
armed his workman, Napoleon passed the gate, and
rode down the hill.

SISTER! SINCE | MET THEE LAST


Sister Since met thee last,
Der thy brow change hath passd;
In the softness ofthne eyes
Deep and still shadow lies;
From thy voice there thrills tono
Never TO my childhood known;
Through thy soul storm hath moved
Gentle sister! thou hast loved,
Yes thy varying cheek hath caught
Hours too bright from troubled thought;
Far along the wandering stream
Thou art followed by dream;
In the woods and valleys alone,
Music haunts thee, not thine own
Wherefore fall thy tears like rain
Sister! thou hast loved in vain!
Tell me not the tale, my flower;
On my bosom pour that shower;-
Tell me not of kind thoughts wasted,
Tell me not of young hopes blasted:
Bring not forth one burning word,
Let thy heart no more be strr'd!
Home alone give the rest
Weep, sweet sister on my breast!

THE BRIDE.

The bridal veil hangs DER her brow,
The ring of gold is on her finger,
Her lips have breathd the marriage vow,
Why should she at the altar linger'
Why wears her gentle brow a shade,
Why dim her eye, when doubt is over,
Why does her slender form for aid
Lean uemblngy upon her loveri
Is il feeling of regret,
For solemn vows so lately spoken'
lsit fear scare ownd as yet,
That her new ties may soonbe brokonl
Oh no. such causes darken not
The cloud that's swiftly passing DER her;
Hers is fair and happy lot,
And bright the path that lies before her.
Her hear, has long been freely given
To him who now her hand possessing,
Through patient years has fondly striyen
To merit well the precious blessing.
II is the thought of funtred years
1hat, TO hersplflt strongly clngin6'
Is dimming her blue eye with tears,
And DER her face shade is hinging
II is the thought of duties new;
Ofwishes that may prove deceiving,-
Ofall she hopes, yet fears to do,
OF all she loves, and all she's leaving:
1t is the thought of by-gone days,
Ofthem, the fond the gentle hearted.
Who meet not now her teanu! gaze,
The dear, the absent, the departed
Oh who can marvel that the bride
Should leave the sacred altar weeping:
Or who would seek those tears TO chlde,
That fresh and green her heart are keeping.
Not he who with lovers care,
And husbands pride, is iondIy guiding
Her trembling steps; for her can share
The gentle thoughts that need no hiding.
Soon love for him those tears will chase,
And smiles re-light her eye with gadness;
Andnon will blame who truly trace,
To its pure source, her transient sadness.
