NAPOLEON THE THIRD AND THE FRENcH-AkERI- |
CAN PREss.-The world now acknowledges that
Louis Napoleon, Emperor of the French, is a
great man. We are able to follow all his move
ments in Europe, public and private, through
the Gordon of correspondents which the London
journals maintain around his person. But in
America we have not such facilities for tracing
out the operations Of his imperial policy, when
carried on under the rose" However, inklings
of facts and circumstances will now and again :.
leak OUT corks on the surface show the we y
the stream flows, and thus we are enabled to
sketch lightly the drifting Of the Napole ionic
current on this hemisphere
Our readers are possibly aware t'Aat the
Franco-American population Of this city sup
rort in it two organs printed in che French
tongue-le Pierre and le Courier DIES Etats
Unis. So long as the young rep ablc of 1913
was an entity, these journals we re its firm and
consistent supporters in this COZ mtry; but when
it had passed awsy. like vision of the night.
fainter and fainter became the impressions it
had left until finally, every SOUVENIR OF its ex-
istence had passed away, and left not wreck
behind. Theeditors of the above named jour-
nails could not be expected to advocate nom
entity-a mere visionary idea, which their COM
patriots had almost unanimously repudiated.
The star Of Napoleonism was in the ascendant,
and the kings and the wise men Of the earth
were sending to the modern Bethlehem to pay
it homage. In the universal pilgrimage direct
ed to that resplendent shrine, the editor Of the
one, and the proprietor Of the other, Of these
French journals have taken their place. May
their pious enterprise be rewarded. May the
presiding genius of the Elysee be propitious to
his servants.
II the mission of those who have ''seen the
star in the East" and have gone to worship it,
becrowned with that success which it deserves,
and if their respective journals be franked by
the new Emperor, we may soon look for trans
formation in that quarter, from antiquated re-
publicanism, to speck and span new Napoleon
ism. And after this legerdemain is effected, we
may also Immediately look out for the advent
of a third French journal in this city, devoted
to the advocacy of the cause of ia dkesse de la
Republique," and in immediate connection with
Louis Blanc, and the European Revolutionary
Committee of London. We do not hazard much
in the prediction Coming events cast their
shadows before"

Our Children ought to love,
honor and obey their parents. Let your
mother, in particular, who in your tender
wears has the more immediate charge of you,
be on earth the most sacred object of your
affections. Let her be your friend and chief
confidant. Conceal nolhiag from her, but
make her acquainted with the company you
keep, the books which you read and even
the faults you commit. Happy is the son,
and particularly the daughter, who is not
afraid to communicate to their mother their
most secret thoughts. Whilst they remain
thus ;rtless aud undisguised, they are free
from danger. Children, obey your parents
in youth but whenever you are no longer
under their care, let not your reverence
abate. If by the providence of God you
should rise above them in tie world, grow
not ashamed fthem. While they are bend
ing under the intirmilics Of old age, still
continue to treat them with respect as well
as affection.

"I MUST THINK OF GOD"

A. noted ntidel of Germany, who passed
his life in revelry, wine aud excess, upon
coming to the dark river of death, raised his
ewes desparingly to heaven, exclaiining, "

lite had been passed with not serious, earn
est thought of his Heavenly Father. World.
" gaiety had absorbed his attention. and
occupied his time He had supposed it was
easy always to forget and neglect God But
when death came, Il new view of life, Of his
own immortal lie, broke upon him. Now
he must think of God. There was no cs-
Gaping from it. No worldly company, no
cup OF indulgence, no scene Of mirth could
hide him from its presence. And what a

How comes it that little volume, composed
by humble men in 4 rude age, when art and
science were in their childhood, has exerted
more influence on the human mind and on
tho social system, than all the other books

hook has achieved such marvellous changes
in the opinion of mankind--has hanished

put down polygamy and divorce-exalted

sort of book is this, that even the winds
and wares of human passion obey it! What
other engine of social improvement has ope-
rated so long, and yet lost none of its vir.

of amelioration have been tried and failed,
many codes Of Jurisprudence have arisen, and
run their course and expired. Empire after
empire has been launched on the tide OF
time, aud gone down, leaving no trace on the
waters. But this book is still going about
doing good, leaving society with its holy
principles-cheering the sorrowful with its
