HISTORY OF PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON.
His First Revolutionary Attcmpt-Surrender
Sent to the United States-Return to
Frane-Imprisonmen in the Fortress Of
Hem-Eseape and Subsequent Career
eIt is better TO die king than live a
prince" said Napoleon, in 1906, to bis bro
ther Louis, when he forced him to accept
the crown of Holland. The fourth and ia
vorite son of Madame Mere, las Napoleon
willed that his mother should be called,)
Louis feared exposing his feeble constitu-
ton to the damp atmosphere of reclaimed
marshes, intersected by stagnant canals, and
he preferred his books to a place among the
kingvassals of Imperial France. Not so his
wife, Hortensia Beauharnais, the daughter
of Josephine, by her first marriage, and the
inheriter of her mothers Creole impetuosity
and daring ambition. She prevailed upon
her husband to mount the Dutch throne,
and naming her youngest son after the step
father, Napoleon, she ever taught him that
it was s'better to die King than to live a
Prince" Twice he has been thwarted in
his attempts to grasp the imperial sceptre
which his uncle welded with such bloody
sway, but now that he has been called to
the Presidential chair, it will be an easy
matter to put on the Imperial Purple. BE
this as it may, it will not be amiss, at the
present stage of his power, to review his
past life, that every reader may judge tor
himself of the new Presidents capability to
restore permanent quiet to France.
Napoleon Louis was born in Paris on the
Goth A pril, 1908, and was christened Charles
Louis Bonaparte, though he signs his name
as we give it. Napoleon, who was his god
father, always showed great partiallty fol-
him, as did the Empress Louisa. Queen
Hortensia's oldest son was mysteriously
killed in Italy, during revolutionary at
tempt, and she educated Napoleon Louis
with doubled affection, at the Chateau oi
Arenenberg, in Switzerland. Exiled from
France, she thirsted for revenge upon the
Bourbons, and instilled into the mind o.
her son that he was destined 10 uphold the
honor of his name, to punish the persecu'
tors OF his family, and open to his country
some way to that glory which it ever Pur'
sues, like an ignis .fafuus. -.
Prince Louis made his first revolutionary
attempt in 1886, when he succeeded in Sc.
curing the Offices of the strongly fortified
town of Strasbourg, to his interests, and laid
a plan which is pronounced bold, and wei
understood. The Alsacian democrats were
first to be gained over, by holding out te
them prospect of fair convocation OF the
people; the garrison of Strasbourg was tc
be captiyated by the cry of "pius PEmpe,
reur" the citizens were to be summoned
to liberty, the young men Of the schools tc
arm, the 'smparts were to be entrusted Il
the keeping Of the national guards. and ther
the Prince was TO march st the head Of th'
soldiers to Paris.
Unfortunately for the Prince, be los
his way, and led his partisans into . loni
court, mistaking il for an adjoining street

Rev. Dr. Kirk, Of Boston, we see is the hero
of an anecdote, which went the rounds Of the
papers ia long time ago." but was revamped
"wi,h great success" as the play bills say.
Here it is. Early in life, lady of fortune,
whose attention was awakened towards him
by his conspicuous talents, wrote him note
offering her heart, fortune and hand. The
Rev. DR.. however, with more terseness than
gallan,ry, replied to her that she had better
give her heart to the Lord, her fortune TO the
church, and her hand to him who should ask

From Valenciennes he went to London
where he was much petted by The aristoc-
racy, and in June was elected Represen-
tative to the National Assembly from the
city Of Paris. He Immediately addressed o
circular letter to his constituents, pledging
himself to unite his "efforts with those ol
his colleagues to re-establish order, credit
and labor; to secure peace abroad, to con-
solidate democratic institutions, and to re.
concile interests which now appear hos
tile, because parties are struggling against
each other, instead of working to one COM
mon end--the grandeur and prosperity Of
the country.
Lamartine looked upon the Prince with
great Jealousy after his election, and some
drunken stuaents having cried "Viue .Ndpo-
leon," he endeavored to dignity them into a
faction. Hs asserted that the Prince was
aiming at the throne, and proposed in the
National Assembly that the laws of 1916
and 1882 forbidding the entry fany ofthe
Bonaparte family into France, should be
enforced against Prince Louis.
The motion was received by the Assem-
bly,, but the next morning it was resolved,
in direct opposition to the formal opinion
of Lamartine and his colleagues, that the
"citizen Louis Bonaparte should not be pro-
scribed, but permitted to take his seat in
the National Assembly," He made his ap-
pearance in the hall in few days after
wards, and has conducted himself with more
moderation as Representative than his
previous rash conduct would lead one TO
expect.
The Prince has occupied rooms at the
Rhine Hotel, in the Place Vendome, and
his windows looked upon the column raised
to commemorate his Imperial Uncle's VIC
tories. Here he has received visits from
all the surviving remnant of that army who
followed the tri-color in triumph through
Europe, and perhaps arranged his plans for
restoration of the Empire Francais! The
adherents of Louis Philippe all aided him
some say because they wished to see a
monarchy re-established, and thought it
would be easy to oust him-others think
that he has promised TO make the young
Count de Paris his heir, having no legiti-
mate children himself.
But his great support has been from the
people, who have plaster busts of the EN-
peror in their humble dwellings, and prints
of his conquests in their workshops. They
have been governed by their predictions
for great name-which was after all, q
curse to France and to Europe-and they
will be equally willing to throw up their
caps and cry-VvE NAroLEoN II.

SILVER MINEs.-ln the Swedish official
paper of Oct. 27ih, il is stated that the work
ing men employed in the Kings mine, in
Norway, found lump of pure native silver
weighing 2os pounds--and that on the 9th of
October another lump of silver, weighing 4SS
lbs. was dug out Of the same mine. 1t is a
fact worthy to be recorded, that twenty years
ago this mine was offered for sale in London
for slo,ooO-but the capitalists of that day
had not sufficient confidence in the mines to
purchase them.

THE SISTERS.
Come hither, gentle sister,
And raise me In the bed;
Now place yourself behind me,
And press this weary head;
For Ihave much to tell you,
When all are fast asleep-
You need not be alarmed
Though should wildly weep.
There now, rmai nicely settled,
And we are ell alone,
With nothing to distress us
But the wintry winds sad moan,
And the Pickering Of that taper,
Where a winding-sheet see
All! death, that comes too soon to some,
Brings happiness to me.
I've placed me, dearest sister,
That you may not mark my face;
And yet the tale have to tell
Knows nothing of disgrace.
But weeks have grown to the months, dear;
And months have swelcd to years,
Since first had within my heart
This fountain of sad tears.
Do you remember darling,
An eve in lcafy June1
The sun had set in crimson light,
And gentle rose the moon.
We wandered by the rivers side
Henry our friend was there,
You surely must remombcr It.
That sunset was so fair.
Your heart iswildly beating
feel each heavy throb!
Oh! lay me on the pillow
I'll give back sob for sob!
long thought that he loved me
That eve heard him say
That you were all the world to him
Oh turn not thus away.
But let me tell you all, dear,
Whilst life and strength remain
know he is returning
To visit you again;
pray for happiness to both
But would that were dead,
And laid in shrouded slumbcr
In the churchyald's quiet bod!
Now, fare thee WE'LL sweet sister!
The dawn is cold and grey
Oh opc that gloomy easement
That my soul may pass sway!
The cocks are Growing loudly
The world begins to wake
Oh! take me to your bosom,
knew my heart would break !-Arion.

FEEDING CArTLE.-In Madagascar the
mode Of feeding cattle is singular. The pro-
vision is sometimes placed in a kind Of rack,
but it is also placed so high that the animal
is compelled to stand, the whole time OF feed
ing, in a position that forces the chief weight
of It's body on its hind legs.-Wheiher this
custom originated in accident or designs un-
certain, bu, it is universal, and is supposed
to aid in fattening the animal better than our
European mode OF allowing them to stand or
a level floor. Sometimes animals are fed in
this manner for three or four years, and at
tain an enormous size.

BEWARE OF THE RING DONE.

If colts stand on plank or any hard floor
that is not well Uttered, they viii be subject
TO the ring bone. When breeding horses,
we left the floor Of the colts stables, OF the
soil over which they were built Ifthis should
be deep loan, or OF clayey texture, then
remove about two feet deep and replace it
with sand, or the finest gravel TO be obtained.
Coils should also be let out to exercise in
yard, or space, every day during the winter,
when not particularly stormy; and in this
yard there should not be older horses, or any
horned animal which can do them injury.
Being very playful, they are more apt to pro-
woke attacks upon them than other animals.

So many weary years have run
Since then, think not how
Things might have been, but greet each on
With an unrufled brow.
What time / am where others be,
My heart seems very calm
Stone calm; but if all go from me,
There comes a vague alarm,
A shrinking in the memory
From some forgotten harm.
And often through the long, long night,
Walking when none are near,
feel my heart beat fast with fright,
Yet know not what fear,
Oh, how long to see the light,
And the sweet birds to hear -
To have the sun upon my face,
To look up through the trees,
To walk forth in the open space
And listen to the breeze
And not to dream the burial place
Is clogging my weak knees.
Sometimes cannot weep nor pray,
But am half stupi6ed:
And then all those who see me say
Mine eyesare opened wide
And that my wits seem gone away
All, would that had died.
Would could die and be at peace,
Or, living could forget!
My grief nor grows, nor doth decrease,
But ever is-and yet
Mcthinks, now, that all this shall cease
Before the sun shall set. Cen.

CHRISTIAN CONDUCT OF DoG.-We refer
red incidentally few days ago 10 the re-
markable instance Of sagacity and feeling in
a dog, which is the subject of the following
circumstantial statement, politely furnished
at our request for publication. 1t comes of
course from an authentic source, and must
be reckoned among the most striking of the
many facts in illustration of the reasoning
faculties of dogs.
"ln the summer Of 1916, my son at that
time ~ years old, was visiting in the country
Having occasion TO cross the field of a neigh
Dor, the lad was pursued by large fierce
dog, and as he looked back over his shoulder
10 see if the dog was gaining upon him, he.
stumbled and fell down ledge of rocks and
broke his leg. He lay helpless of course, and
the dog came up in moment in full cry,
ready TO pounce upon him. As he came up
he seemed TO understand that something had
happened to the boy and after looking az
him long enough TO learn the precise state of
the case, he set off toward the house which
| was far beyond the reach of The child's cries.
But the dog went only within call, as if fear
full of leaving the boy alone, and there bark
ed for some time without attracting attention.
Failing in his purpose he went home, and by
his incessant bowling, and running in the di-
rectiou from which he came, he succeeded
at last in persuading some of the family to
follow him TO the spot where the suffering
child was still lying.
Now the point of special interest in.these
facts is this the dog, unusually fierce, pur-
sued the boy as an enemy, ,resspassing on his
masters grounds but the moment when he
saw his enemy down, and in distress, his fe-
rocity was turned to pity, and with far more
of Christian principle than most men exhibit,
he resolved 10 do him good. He sought to
save the life which he seemed bent TO destroy
Instances are numerous Of dogs displaying
great sagacity for the aid of those dear TO
them, but this is the only case, that has come
to my knowledge, where brute showed
mercy Oh one whom he regarded as foe
The best Of us may learn lesson from this
dog. who had more heart and head than any
dog of whom ever heard or read. ."-Net

having heard a noise, ran up TO his room and
found him eating. Upon asking him how he
was, he replied, Every WE'LL thank ood,"
She then asked him whether he liked bread
and butter or bread and cheese best. He
answered, bread and cheese. She immedi-
ately left the room 10 convey thee agreeable
intelligence TO his brother; but upon their
return to his bedroom they fonnd him as fast
asleep as ever, and incapable Of being reused
by any of the means which they applied.
From this time his sleep seems to have
been less profound; for though he continued
in state Of somnolency till the end of Janu-
ary or the beginning of February, yet he
seemed to hear when they called him by his
name; and though he was incapable Of re-
turning any answer, yet they considered him
as sensible to what was said.--His eyes were
less closely shut, and frequent tremors were
seen in his eyelids. About the beginning Of
February, Chiffon awoke in perfect health,
having no recollection of any thing that had
happened to him during his long sleep. The
only complaint that he made was that the
cold pinched him more than usual. He re-
turned accordingly, to his labors in the field,
and so far as we can learn, he was not again
attacked with this singular dsease-Fraser'
