finish; and portion of that but little to do except
to lay down The iron. We further learn that a
sullciency OF iron to complete The whole road has
been purchased, and that there will be delay in

gives assurance Of speedy completion OF the work
and the realization of the fondest anc patiohs Of

81 NEVER KEPT Ny HUSBAND WAITING
How much OF moment is conveyed IN these words,
Il never kept my husband waiting How much
of life is lost by .he lost minutes how much oil
happiness, by not being ready to enjoy it; how
much of prosperity, by being five minutes too
late
We heard these words uttered by lady whose
decision OF character, whose readiness for duty,
and whose prompt performance Of it, gave US nm
assurance that whatever there might be of adverse
fortune in her husbands future life, he could al
ways rely upon the hepma,e God had g ven biml
There was an energy in her tone Of voice, fire
IN her look, that told she knew wife's duty and
would perform it. We shall not soon forget that
event; we shall bear ih mind the future Of that
couple, and we venture TO say that darkness nor
despair can never drive happiness from That home,
SO long as that God-spirt reigns there; for 1t was
The voice of true woman's heart that spoke, and
that was a God. spirit.
If every wife could but thus speak and act
how rapidly would the world advance. How
many husbands have been ruined by waiting pre-.
co4s moments Of time, too in the lie of business
man !; and the never-ready wife has, step by step,
broken down the characteristic promptitude OF
@any d husband, and with it his business ener.
ges, untaI rain comes upon his business, and
wrechedness enters his home. Would wives
wish peace of mind. and blessings at home, flow.
ing from the prosperity of the husband, let her
constant ai,a be, to be able to say, Il never kept
my husband waiting g-'-OAtO EImer.

| On our first side will be found q notice of Alb
! bou's Life Of Napoleon. Tois work we have not
read. II it places this great man high among The
benefac,ors Of the age, we shalt not qaerrel with
II; and il it induces Americans to admire the bold.
Less with which his mighty arm attacked and de-
moIished the hoary old battlements Of feudaism,
we shall not drpIore this either. The case Of Ma.
Poeon one OF those cases where intelligent Am
erIcan judgement will refuse to ra'iy the decisions
Of The British courts bot will decree that, like
Cromwell. he was OF those rare instruments
that Providence raises up to do great and needed
works.
We can write this ~h"ut justifylng Napoleons
usurpatl"n, his despotism, or his mad passion for
nggrandizement or without being in love with
some Of the traits of his character. The oIigarchy
and crowned heads Of Europe hated him with
undylng hatred, and have done all they could to
blacken his fame, and erase his memory from the
hearts Of the masses. 1t has been, and will ever
lie, all in vain. This mighty man won their con.
fdence and their gratitude by carrying out many
OF the sound principles of the early French revo-
luton that grand drmocranc movement which
every arisiocrat and unfedged theological gadia-
tor loves heartily TO kick. Iie abolished the laws
OF PrImogenure and entail he abridged prl'stly
influence he ovcrlhrcw that thing of inlamy, the
inquisitlon; and by his code Napoleon produced
forms as admirable they will be lasting. For
such things, all France. which he loved well,
ldollzed him when living, and now pays homage
10 his shade.
We may deplore his errors and regret that he
did not better use, in the end. the immense power
he attained. Not only, however, in France, but
in Italy, IN Holland, in PRUSSIA. in all Germany,
he sowed the seeds OF future progress. His errors
those of aD insane ambition, caused his downfall.
To the eternal disgrace OF England. he tor.
tured TO death as by slow fire. The evil he did
died with him. The terminating seed OF good he
sowed will in time spring up and confer blessings
on the nations. Boston Post
