An Agreeahie snrnrire.


 The kies of relationship gre held most sacred in the inyperal family of Austfia--Maria Loaisa had beentaUght to reyerance them from her infancy. She was tenderly attached to every member of her family, and when the prelImnaTieS of her marriage with Napoleon were arranged, and she knew that she was about to leave all who so dear to her. and with whom she had passed all her days, her heart sank within her, and her tears flowed inces- sanity. The day came: she was to leave forever the home Of her childhood She 9oek a most adiect- ing leave of all her family and then shut herself up in her own apartment, where according to etiquette she was to remain til the French ambassador who was to conduct her to Paris went 10 hand her to the carriage. When Berthler, Prince de Neufcha tel. went into her cabinet for this purpose, he found her weeping most bitterly. For some time she was unable to speak: al length words of pas sonste grief found the,r way.
 C can not help crying" she said; every thing look at, and that am going to leave, IS so dear to me: there are my sisters drawings, my Dlother herself worked this tapestry, these pictures were painted by my uncle Charles"
 Thus she went on apostrophzing every article the room contained, even the very carpets and all her pets of whom she was so fond, 90 cherished, and careSsed; her singing birds, that she loved 10 sit and listen tothese were sl to be left behind and the parrot that she herself had taught 10 speak; but, above all. the little faithful dog, the fayorite companion, even he was not to accom- pany her-for 1t had been said that the emperor did not like pet dogs. As she csressed the little creature her tears fell faster. Berther was sensi- bly, touched by the marks of affection bestowed by the young princess on all the objects associated with home. He told her that all would not be in readiness for their departure for couple Of hours. So the poor princess was allowed the indulgence of her grief for little While longer. But the mo- ment came, and she had to tear herself away froul the scenes and the friends hat occupied all her affection. An enthusiastic greeting awaited her ff,u her CrIa dor surrounded her every side; but home and the dear friends were far away. As Napoleon led her ffom the balcony of the Tuileues, where she had been gazed at and hailed with acclama,ions of joy by the populace, he said:
 Come. Louisa, l ought to give you some little reward for the happiness which you have confer red on me-the great happiness which have just enjoyed. Nay nay, don't be afraid to follow me, '' continued he, as he led her along one Of the mar TOW corridors of the palace, lit by single lamp; "nay, nay, don't be afraid to follow me-
 Suddenly they stopped at the door of a room wherein dog was making efforts to get out. The emperor opened the door-the favorlte dog was there. He testified his joy at again seeing his nis- tress by thousand wild praRks bounding and jumping about her. The profasion of lamps by which the room was lit up, discovered to Maria Louisa that 1t was furnished with the very chars and the carpets of her apartment al Vienna. There were her sister drawings, and the tapestry wrought by her mothers hands there were the pictures painted by her uncle Charles; there were her par rot, and there her singing birds and, above all, the pet dog. Louisa was greatly affected and de- lighted by finding herself surrounded by these dear, familiar objects. So we'll had Berthier planned and executed this agreeable surprise of the diseon- solate princess, whom he had found weeping over all that had been endeared to Ter by the fendest associations, that she nayer suspected hlS design in delaying their departae from Vienna.
 "Come in Berthier." said the emperor, open ing side door, "and let the empress thank you. There, Louisa. thank bun-embrace him who planned ths pleasure fo1 you"
