Or When will the Father of Waters come

at Slockwel's Panorama, in the last hour of its
exhibition. " The Father of Waters !" replied

she, why, We digested my specs to look after a
big man with the dropsy, and it IS nothing but a
river, arter all. How / wish they d cali things

PERSEVERANCE.
A swallow in the spTng,
Came % our rTanarF. and meath the caves
Ess1yed 10 make nest and there did bnng
Wet EARTH and straw and leaves,
Day after day she toiled
With patient heart but ere hei YORK was crowned
Some sad Tnishap the tiny fabric lpqiea'
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But not cast down, forth from the place she new,
nd with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought,
And built her neat anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last sOit feather on is ample hoof,
When wicked hand, or chance again laid waste
And wrought the suin Ger.
But still her heart she kept,
And iOii'd again and last night, hearing calls,
TIO0ke5-and To- three little swallows slept
Within the earth-made walls.
What truth is here o mani
Hath Hops been snitten in its early dawn
Hath clouds oleTcast thy purpose, trust OF plan?
Have Faith, and struggle on

A Sketch Of Louis Napoleon.

Charles Louis Napoleon, son of Louis,
Ex-King Of Holland, was born in Paris on
The 2o,h of April, 1908. His god-parents
were the Emperor and Maria Louis, and
during his childhood was an especial ia
vorite Of the former. On the return of
Napoleon from Elba, he stood beside him
on the Camp de Mars, and when embra-
ced by him for the last time, at Malmai-
son, the young Louis, then boy of sew
en- wears, wished 10 follow him al all haz-
ards. When the family was banished
from France, his mother removed to
Augsburg; where he received n good
German education. He was afterwards
taken 10 Switzerland, where he obtained
the right of citizenship and commenced
a course of military studies. After the
July revolution, by which he was u Sec
ond time prescribed from France, he Wis.
lied Italy in company with his brother
and in 1881 took up in a popular insur
rec,ion against the Pope. This move
ment failed, but he succeeded in maxim!
his escape, and, his brother dying at For
Ii the same year, he visited England
and aflerward returned 10 Switzerland
where, for two or three years, he conten
ted himselfwilh writing political and mil
ilary works, which do no appear TO have
been extensively read. The death Of The
Duke of Reichsladt in 1882, gave a new
impulse 10 his ambitious hopes. His first
revolutionary attempt, at Slrasoburg, in
October 1886, completely failed, but af-
ter a short imprisonment in Paris, he was
sent to this country. The illness of his
mother occasioned his return the follow
ing wear, after a visit 10 Switzerland he
took up his residence in England, until
his second attempt at Boulogne in 1910.
In this affair several Of his followers
were killed and he himselftaken and SEN
fenced TO Imprisonment for life in the
Castle of Ham. The particulars Of his
escape in May 1916, after an incarcera-
ton of six years are we'll known. From
that time until the end Of September last,
when he was returned as a Deputy TO The
National Assembly from the Department
of the Seine, he has resided in England,
A late London journal, in describing his
mode of life, gives the following not very
faliering account:
"He was INSCRIPTIONS in contracting
obligations which were wholly beyond
his means Of repayment; and his most
serious pursuit was the study Of alchemy,
by which he expected 10 arrive at the
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1849-01-26

" WE'LL" replied the woman, task your
mother to come home and attend to her own
household, and then, if she has time, she can
attend to the Greeks"
MIR. S. proceeded to apply this anecdote 10
the case of his W people, urging the me-
cessity, on the part Of Congress, of adopting
proper measures for the advancement of their
interests, and for the benefit Of the laborinp
classes throughout the country. THE
Greeks" as John Randolph had said, I" were
at our DOORS" Let Congress legislate first
for those whom the Constitution of the coun-
try had intrusted 10 their charge. Then it
would be time enough 10 let our sympathies
run out after this black population, that lived
thousands of miles away, and who were not
interfering with his or his constituents
rights.
He declared, in the presence Of the House
and his constituents, that the course that this
House was pursuing was degrading to its
character. And when thousands of Others
were suffering from the fact that the time OF
the House was thus consumed in these dis.
graceful scenes, he felt it to be his duty 10
ask the Speaker 10 inform him how he could
get clear Of the su~bject-whether by a motion
to lay on the table, or to postpone indefinite.
~, or by what other way.
