driven back by the angels and arch angels, as
the sacred story additionally tells us.

The MISTRESS OF LOUIS NAPOLEON

Inverness, Scotland, Advertiser says:
Amongst the gay equipages which may be
seen Haunting through Strathpeffer at pres
ent is one containing visitor of some noto-
riety. The fair lady with the clear and beau :

gentlemen, has history Of her own; she is
or was-no less a parsonage than Miss
Howard, the a-deUant mistress and should
have been wife of Louis Napoleon, Emperor
of the French. Her name is now changed
to that of rrelawney, and her companion,
who is said to be allied to a noble English
family, is her husband. The pair reside in
a mansion house in the immediate vicinity
of Stratherpeffer, of which they have lease
for some years. Days have changed since

took fancy to the clever and beautiful girl
who accompanied him to Paris, and who &C.

man abou. town is now an Emperor, hus-
band, and the father Of legitimate prince;
whilst his former bosom companion is buried
in the Highland solitude, separated from her
children and all the splendors of the Tuiler-

we wonder which is the happier of the two
or rather might we not ask, which is the
