ONE GLASS OF WISE.--A very inter
esting story Of the birth, parentage, and
rise to power Of the Emperor of France,
is given in Harper's Magazine. Included
in that article, we also End the history of
lone, glass of wine" as follows:
The Duke of Orleans. the eldest son Of
King Louis Philippe, was the inheritor Of
whatever rights the royal family could
transmit. He was a noble young man
physically and intellectually noble. One
morning he invited a few companions with
him, as he was about to take his departure
for Paris to join his regiment. In the
oonvikiality of the hour, he draHk little
too much wine. lie did not become in
itoxicated, he was not in any respect dis
sipated man. His character was lofty and
noble. Bnt in that joyous hour he drank
glass to much. He slightly lost the bal-
ance of his body and of his mind. Bid.
ding adieu to his companions he entered
| his carriage. Est
But for that extra glass Of wine he
would have kept his seat. He leapt from
the carriage, But for that extra glass ol
wine he would have alighted on his feet
His head struck the pavement, Senseless
aud bleeding he was taken into tberr
shop and died. That extra glass pser'
threw the Orleans dynasty, confseated
their property Of one hundred millions
of dollars, and sent the whole family into
exile. - t.-r -- gts g5ar.tsr'. 1=-s T7T- tGrF

A MIRAGE OF THE PRAmIE.-The fol-
lowing is communication in the Bloom
.ington Paragraph, relating to phenome-
non not very unusual on our prairies:
onyesterday we bad the privilege Of
seeing the rare sight--a mirage on the
prairie. On approaching the town of Ler-
ny, about mile and quarter this side,
we found the whole intermediate space be-
tween us and the grove of trees beyond
the town, apparently occupied by beauti-
full lake, of water. On the apparent
shores next to ourselves tho rosd ran down
and disappeared In the lakes, as did the
fence upon one side of the road, while the
placid and beautiful water extended upon
the right and left, until lost in the distance.
The entire space between the apparent
margin Of the lake nearest to us, and the
grove beyond the town, more than a mile
off, was, SO far as it was possible for the
eye TO determine, occupied by one of the
mostbeautifil, bright and placid sheets oi
water we ever beheld, while the trees in
the distance appeared to be immersed for
half their length in the lake, as if growing
in the water. ~
Even the shadow Of these trees, and oil
the clouds above, were distinctly visible
Take itall In all, this mirage on the prairie
was one Of the most beautiful and fascin-
ating scenes we ever beheld, and we were
almost forced against our better Judge
ment not only to believe inits reality, bu,
felt spontaneous impulse to rush forward
and balhe in the crystal waters. We ap,
lproached the vision and it vanished.
