the insensible form of the affec,onate son and
brother. 1t was fitting termination of this mourn
fu and sublime tragedy.
But the anguish of the day was not yet over
Josephine, half delirius with grief, had another

self in the bed from which he had elected his most
faithful and devoted wife, and the attendant was
on the point of leaving the room when the private
door of his apartment was slowly opened, and Jo-
sephine trembngly entered. Her eyes were
swollen with grief; her hair disheveled, and she
appeared in all the dishebille of unutterable an
guish She tottered into the middle of the room,
and approached the bed-then irresoutely stop
ping, she burst into flood of tears. A feeling of
delicacy seemed for moment to have arrested
her steps-a consciousness that now she had no
another moment all the pent up love of her heart
burst forth and, forgetting everything, she threw
herself upon the bed, clasped her arms around
Nopoleon's neck, and exclamng, "My husband!
my husband" sobbed as though her heart was
breaking. The imperial spirit of Napoleon was
for the moment entirely vanquished, and he also
wept almost convulsivey. He assured Josephine
of his love, of ardent and undying love. In every
way he tried to soothe and comfort her, and for
some time they remained locked in each others
embrace. The attendant was dismissed, and for
an hour they continued iu this last private inter-
view. Josephine, then in the experience of
anguish which few harts have ever known, parted
forever from the husband whom she had so long,
SO fondly, and SO faithfully loved.
The beautiful palace of Malnaison, which Ma
poleon had embeshed with every possible attrac-
ton, and where the Emperor and Empress had
passed many of their happiest hours, was assign
ed to Josephine for her future residence. Napo-
leon also settled upon her jointure of about six
hundred thousand dollars a year. She was also
still to retain the title and the rank of Empress
Queen.
The ensuing day at eleven o'clock. all the house,
hold of the Tuilleries were assembled upon the
grand staircase, and in the vestibule, to witness
the departure of their beloved mistress from scenes
where she had SO long been the brightest orna-
ment. Josephine descended veied from head TO
foot. Her emotions were too deep for utterance,
and she waved adieu to the affectinnate and
weeping friends who surrounded her. A close
carriage with six horses, was before the door. She
entered it, sank back upon the cushions, buried her
face in her handkerchief, and left the TuiIIeries
forever.

work by Rev. John S. G. Abbott.
Napoleon had become very strongly attached to
his little grandchild, the son of Hortense, and of
his brother Louis, the king of Holland The boy
was extremely beautiful, and developed all those
noble and spirited traits of character which delight
ed the emperor. Napoleon had apparently deter
mined to make this young prince his heir This
was so generally the understanding both in France
and in Holland, that Josephine was quite at ease
and serene days again dawned upon her heart.
Early in the spring of 1897, this child upon whom
such destinies were depending, then five years of
age was seized suddenly and violently with the
Group, and in a few hours died. The blow fell up
on the heart Of Josephine with most appalling pow
er Deep as was her griefat the loss of the child,
she was overwhelmed with uncomfortable anguish,
in view of those fearful conseq uences which she
shuddered to contemplate She knew that Napo-
leon loved her fondIy. But she also knew the
strength of his ambition, and that he would make
any sacrifice of his affections. which, in his view,
would subserve the interests of his power and glo
ry. For three days she shut herself up in her
room, and was continually bathed in tears.
The sad intelligence was conveyed to Napole-
on, when he was far from home, in the midst OF
the Prussian campaign. He had gained acces-
sions of power, such as in the widest dreams of
youth he had hardly imagined. All opposition to
his sway was now apparently crushed. Napoleon
had become the creator OF kings, and the proudest
monarchs of Europe were constrained to do his
bidding 1t was in an hour Of exultation that the
mournful tdings reached him. He sat down in 81,
lence, buried his face in his hands, and for long
time seemed lost in the most painful musings
He was heard mourDfully and anxiously to repeat
to himself again aud again, ITO whom shall leave
all this 2" The struggle in his mind between his
love for Josephine and his ambitious desire to found
a new dynasty, and to transmit his name and fame
to all pcsterty was fearful. Itwas manifest in hi:
pallid cheek in his restless eye, in the loss oI ap
petite and sleep. But the stern will of Bonaparte
was unreieuting in its purposes. With an energy
which the world has never seen surpassed, he hat
chosen his part. 1t was the purpose OF his soul
the lofty purpose before which, every thing had tt
bend-to acquire the glory OF making France th'
most illustrious, powerful. and happy nation eartl
had ever seeu. For this he was ready to sacrifct
comfort, ease, and his sense Of right For this hi

The Love Watcher---An AlIegory.

BY MISS NJ. A. BROWN.
A lady sat on a lofty hill
And she looked toward the sea,
And marvelled, as I gazed on her,
Who could the lady be.
Her robe was snowy whiie-her veil
Was like the rainbow's hue;
There was a blush on her gentle cheek,
And tear in her eye Of blue.
She sat and watched bright bark glide
Towards the farther shore;
And l saw that she was beautiful,
But knew nothing more.
Twas noon, and then rhe lady sung,
"He must have crossed the sea;
Even now the waves are ebbing back,
And they'll bring him back to me.
And shading her eyes with her ivory hand,
She gazed most earnestly
But there was not speck TO break
The line of sea and sky.
Twas eve-the red cum in the west
Was resting on the wave;
And sigh that almost breathed of fear.
The gentle lady gave.
But still she watched and tried to sing,
Though in sudden strain
"Oh, remember all he swore;
l know he'll come again."
Twas twilight-one red lingering streak
Alone still told of day;
One trembling star was gIimmering
Above the watery way.
The lady look'd-oh! such a look
So strand to pierce the dark,
Still she trusted that it was for tears
She could not see his bark.
Twas midnight-countless stars were out,
The heavens were calm and fair,
The moon show'd all the dancing sea-
But ah, no sail was there!
The lady gave one lingering look
Across the flowing tide
Then fail'd the light in her blue eyes,
And she laid her down and died.
They told me who the lady was
Alas! tits ever so;
She fingers to the very last,
Then dies away for woe.
I marvel not the lady died,
Thus like a wearied dove;
For they told me that her name was Hope,
And that she watched for Love.

Portage County Peoples Mass Con-
VentiOn.

The undersigned, believing the present
to be an auspicious moment for the general
cooperation of the people, without regard
to old party lines, to advance important
interests: and believing that it is of para
mount importance, at this time,so to shape
our action as to exert direct influence to
secure the enactment by our Legislature
of the Maine Law, do concur in the propri-
ETY. of calling County Peoples Mass
Convention, to put in nomination a Ticket,
pledged to the principles of the Maine
Law.
While inviting cooperation in behalf of
so vital measure as this, we would ever
bear in mind that there are other important
interests which should not be overlooked,
namely, in regard to State interests: Free
Schools; Equal Taxation; repeal of cppres-
sive, partizan laws; greater economy in
the administration of the State Government,
and in county expenses. Natiomally-no
slavery extension-the divorce of the gen
eral Government from the support of slave
ry-River and Harbor improvements; free
dom of the National domain to actual set
tiers, under suitable regulations.
With general concurrence and sympa-
thy with these principles, yet deeming it
important at this time, to make the Maine
Law the paramount issue, we do hereby in
vite the people of Portage County of like
general sympathies, without regard to sect
or party, to meet in Mass Convention, at
the Court House in Rayenna, on Thursday
the eighteenth day of August, at ten
o'clock, A. NJ, to consider of these mat
ters, and to put in nomination candidate
for Representative to the State Legislature,

against you in connection with it, his Exceency de-
eires me to communicate to you the substance Of
despatch under date of the 3lst of December, 1862
In reply to bis reference of the matter to the Secretary
OF State ut Washington to the effect that your expl
nations not regarded satisfactory; that it did
not appear why you should need some days to make
proper explanation and reply; and that having had
the advantage OF personal Interview with the Minis
ter, an oral account of the matter could have been
given to him on the spot which would have enabled
him TO form safe opinion Of the case. But that
instead Of doing this you had written the Minister
several private letters which did not contain anything
denitive and in the last had requested him not to
wait for the conclusion Of your essays on the subject
but place what you had already written before the
Secretary of State-that the Department of State,
in the aspect of the at date, regarded it as far
more serious than you seem 70 have considered it
and that ii you had not already done SO, you were to
be directed without delay to furnish his Exceency,
for the information of the President with full ac
count Of the case, and Of your connection with it
that il the facts were correctly stated the conduct of
the mate OF the Hermann toward the steward not
only justified, but required the interference OF the
aulhures- and that III when the officers boarded the
ship she was within the local jurisdiction Of England
oil attempt to resist them unlawful, and would
form just matter of complaint on the part Of the
British government.
beg leave to add that copies Of your letters, &C..
up to the ed of December, transmitted to the
Secretary of State the 3lst of that month, and
that copies Of all those of subsequent dates will be
transmitted to him by the steamer OF Saturday next.
