.Y- A Paris letter says-A report got
abroad that the Empress had shown manifest
indications of being in that state which would
doubtless prove Of surprising interest to her
imperial husband; but it is believed that it
was only the fond wish which generated the
hope, which family llickcred for moment,
and then died away. There is no doubt that
the absence of an heir is deeply felt by Napo-
leon, il leaves n void which seems to invite the
occupation of Il gi:amacy, if not at present at
least at some future period. The marriage Of
young Jerome, the former prince of the noun

has assuredly no hold upon the nation, and
it is generaly thought that his position in the

"A Traveller describes the new Wash.
ington territory as follows: The territory of
w"al'i"s sto", G"m Pugets sound across the
Cascade mountains, is heavily timbcrcd
country chiefly with the Oregon fir, which, in
some localities, grows very large. There are
scattered prairies and some dry barrens be-
tween the sound and mountain, the latter cov-
cred with fine pebbles of trap rock, and sean.
tily wooded with oaks. Across the mountains
is an open rolling prairie country, with small
and thinly-wooded valleys; water everywhere
abundant. TO the north of this, and in the
country occupied by the Flat Head Indians,
there is more timber, and the country is adj
mirably adapted for settlement.

To YouSG MEN.-Don't rely upon your
friends. Don't rely upon the good name OF
your ancestors. Thousands have spent their
prime of life in vain hopes Of those whom
they call friends-and thousands have failed
because they had rich father. Rely upon
the good name which is yours by your own
exertions, and know that the best friend you
can have is an unconquerable determination,
united with decision of character.

OPPosITIoy.-'A certain amount of Opposi-

Kites rise against and not mM wind. Even
a head wind is better than none. No man

cause of opposition. Opposition is what he
wants and must have to be good for anything.
Hardship is the native soil of manhood and
self.reliancc. lie that cannot abide the storm
without Ainching or quaiing, strips himself
in the sunshine and lays down by the way
side, to be overlooked and forgotten. lie who
but braces himself TO the struggle when the
wind blows, gives up when they have done,
