NAPOLEON.

sat BY JOHN TITCoMB.
There's an isle lone and sad on the biowy ocean,
Round which the wild surges increasingly lave
Yet by France it is cherished with saddened emotion
For ts claims meath its bosom Napoleon's grave.
Tho the bright zenith star of his destiny faded,
And sank mid the dark heavng bows of fate-
Yet m glory II lays-Where in beauty enshrouded,
The last cold remains of the brave and the great
No more will he lead his proud armies afar,
Der the wild snow capped ALPS" or "Maringos
broad plain,
For at "Waterloo's" battle first dim grew his star
And the pride of his army fell wounded and slain,
Poor France, she il weeping-her banners soiled,
And crushed are the hopes Of the immortal dead
For naught now remains of the knghted warrior,
But glorious name to pillow his head.
The Wlow, it bends DER the grave of the loved one,
While friends mingle teaes of troubled emotion,
And sigh DER the requum melodiously sung
Alone on this dreary isle of the ocean.
Peace, peace to his nshes-no more shall he gaze
Der the wild heaving billow to the land of his heart
No more shall his bosom be pent with a sigh,
Or the tear for his sorrowing country e'er start.

From the
CALIFORNIA SONG

Deep lies the Snow over mountain and vale,
Cold blows the blast in its desolate route,
Hark how the wind thro' the trec-tops doth wall,
AS the storm king in anger rides goomily out.
Darkly the pines wave their snow laden heads,
Swiftly the clouds bear their burtlens aIoft,
Thick through the air fall the fakes to their beds,
While earth dons a livery dazzling and soft.
Hid meath the mantle, chilled, Nature now sleeps,
Closed is her labor till wakened by Spring,
No from the guches the bright streamlet leaps,
For frost has asserted his might king.
Buried in snow drifts or ocked up in Ice,
Placers Of gold lie in safety below;
Idle now rests every cunning device
To rife earths wealth from her sentry of snow.
Miners now snug in their cabins are slowed,
Bright blaze'the log heaps with generous heat,
Hunters return from The hills with their loads
And the deer and the grizzly supply us with meat.
Care has been kicked from each snugy closed door,
Lust after lucre has settled TO sleep,
Laughter and mirth mid the fierce tempest's roar,
Boldly welcomes the storm as the snow gathers deer
Sleigh bells neer jngled their geas in these heights
Jolly young parties this fact al depore;
NIir:h, though, will come where'er pleasure invites,
Though leap DER the mountains to come to door
Parties Of youngsters at snow ball engage
Wrestling and tumbling each other around,
Fun is contageous-sOon STRIPPING and sage,
Struggling and rolling in snow drifts are found
What though we dwell thus In mountain and glen,
What though work in the water and rain;
High beating hearts fill the breasts OF our men,
And welc me the storm that subserves to our gain
Send us the water! we cry to the clouds,
Soak us ut will. wash out the ore.
Pile up yc drifts, though We wrap us as shrouds
'Tis as bridal gifts soon ye will flow to our door.
Water we bless thee in shower or storm,
Water in torrents or rivuets clear
Give US but water, no matter what form,
We will wash piles e'er the end of tas year.

national service. Eight thousand Redifs
were armed, clothed and equipped from
the proceeds Of one days offering.
Military preparations continue with
an unabated spirit. The Turkish steam
frigates Faizi Bahri, TAFT, Feridge, and
Medjedie have been sent to Bey out to
take on board 10000 regulars of the army
of Syria. Orders had been given to call
out $4,000 more Redifs,." exclusive OF
the reserves. Of these $4,000, $4,000
were armed and equipped by the city of
Constantinople. The whole number en-
rolled themselves in one day, and within
one week the arms, clothing and horses
were provided. Twenty thousand Druses.
irregulars, under their chief Cheibli. who
SO long withstood Mehemet Ali, were daily
expected to join the army of Asia. One
halfof the Turkish feet were about to
leave for the coast of Asia between Trebi-
zond and Batoum. Two battalions of
chasseurs, armed and drilled on the system
OF tue chasseures de Vincennes, had been
sent to Omar Pasha, and a third was about
to leave for Batoum. Orders had been
sent TO the Governor Of Adrianople to send
without the least delay TO Constantinople
the Circassian Chief Sefer Bey, who had
been residing in the former city. Ha-zan
Jazidju had marched at the head of 40
600 horsemen for the army of Asic, and
it was stated that after retaining a suffi-
cient force in Egypt, Abbas Pacha can
spare $4,000 more men to the Turkish
aid
In short, every exertion was making but
as yet the last call on the enthusiasm of
the Mussulman's,3 the unfur1ing of the
Prophets standard, had not beer made, nor
was it intended at present to make it.

The Boston 1raveller states that there
never has been time when Africans had
so full employment, and commanded so
high wages as at present. There is a
demand for good workmen, caused by the
accumulation of business and emigration.
Good machinists command 50 and 1925

81; Iron moulders, painters, masons, and
even common laborers, receive wages con-
siderably advanced from last years rates.
Contractors are in some cases unable to
complete jobs for the want of workmen
and others have to do necessar rily work
themselves, because they cannot hire men
to do it for them. The winter season will
make difference in this state of things,
and probably many will be out of employ.

A Docs TASTE FOR RAILWAY TRAY

A Docs TASTE FOR RAILWAY TRAY
ELLING.-We have received from cores
pondent who has recently visited Ireland a
somewhat curious instance of the case OF
a dog, which is in the habit of travelling
by railway, for which he appears to have
IA free pass. The writer states that, having
a particular friend engaged on the Dublin
and Drogheda Railway, he travelled a
good deal on it during his stay in Dublin.
One passenger, dog of the Scotch terrier
breed, which answered to the name Of
"Jack," formerly belonging to one of the
porters, particularly y attracted his attention
On inquiry, the engine driver stated that
the dog gets upon the engine at pleasure
and leaves it the same. Sometimes he
will 60 on to Dublin and 60 to Drogheda
get off there, wait for another train, and
then proceed to Belfast, where he will take
up his quarters for the night. At other
times he will travel to all the intermediate
stations. Should he happen to miss one
train, he strolls about the STATEN, like any
other passenger, until the next comes up
and then starts again. He is we'll known
by the officials at all the stations, who seem
amused with his mode Of living, and allow
no one OF molest him.. Occasionally he
will exhibit little special attachment by
travelling all day with one engine driver

1. H. S.-These letters are seen in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches, and in
the prayer books of these sects. They are
abbreviations of the Latin phrase, "Jesus
Homnum Salvador, !" which signifies, Jesus
the Savior of men," Some may ask whv
the letter is used instead of j? Because
formerly there was no letter in the Ro-
man alphabet; then 1 was used where.J
now is. Many of our readers can probably
remember having seen the word John
spelled Iohn.

NOTEs FORGED BY PHoToGRAPHY.-A
discovery has recently been made at the
Bank Of England which will cause, it is
understood, a great change to be speedily
effec. ed in the character and general ap.
pearance Of the notes issued by that cor
poration. It has just been ascertained
that, by means of photography, fac similes
can be obtained by skillful operator, with
the greatest facility; and the fraudulent
copies of bank notes thus obtained would
pass muster, even with some of the most
experienced judges. A correspondent of
the Times suggests the following method
of detecting the fraud: "The watermark
of the bank notes results from difference
lu the substance of the paper, and is only
visible by transmitted light, that is when
the note is held up SO that the light may
pass through it, it being in the body of
the paper. Now, the initiated watermark
would be on the surface only, and it would
be produced by a slight darkening of the
front of the note, corresponding exactly
with the thicker portions of the paper OF
the note it was copied from, and would,
therefore be visible by reflected light as
well as by transmitted light, and would be
on the front only, and not on the back as
well and consequently, by doubling a note
so produced, so as to see at the same time
part of the back and part of the front, the
fraud would be at once detected, as the
watermark would not be on both.

OLD FoGrEs.-This term is either OF
Irish or Scottish derivation. 1t is claimed
to be of "pure Irish origin" and to have
been applied to s mature old warriors -
But it was certainly in use. also in Scotland
and the permanent garrisons of Edinburgh
and probably those aof Stirling Castle,
consisting of veteran companies, were
called " Castle Fogies.
DR.. Jameson, in his Scottish Dictionary.
defines the word foggie, or fogie, ? torhe
first, an "invalid,, or garrison soldier p
secondly, a person advanced in life p and
derives it from Su. G.. fogde, formerly
one who the charge of garrison"
The word may have been derived from
the German voght, which signifies a gov
ernor, judge, steward, &c. It is, in fact,
nothing more than good -humored cor
ruption or dimunition of old folks. -
This also shows us the derivation of "pet-
tifogger, which means "hitze. fogae, :"
or "petty .tolker,," one whose practice is
among the lower classes. All this may
be word of comfort to somebody. Bless
