EUGENE 4 FAILURE.


--- The Empress, by an unexpected weakness
of mind, has gradually lost the hold she had
ON the Emperor's affections. She has exhib-
tied lately degree Of friyolty, and Of light
ness totally unbecoming her elevated position
Thus her time is spent in discussing and get
ting up tine robes; she wants to revive thesyS-
tenn Of court pages and other expurgated fool
cries of other centuries; she wants her court
t. dazzle, but her inventions are those OF the
milliner- it appears that Eugenie is one of
those delicate, prematdre organizations which
reach their acme OF brifliancc early, and then
rapidly decline into ineffective mediocrity. 1t
would be absurd TO suppose that Napoleon,
with his practical turn Of mind, and full
. knowledge Of the difficulties that surrounded
him, was going to unite his fortune to an un-
known woman merely for her beauties of per-
son, for he might have found plenty of beauties
who were known and esteemed in France
But he married Eugenie because he believed
her brilliant woman in point Of intellect, who
would be able to lend him material assistance
in the management of that part Of his affairs
more particularly belonging to her sex But
however much cleverness she may have had
younger, the hopes OF the Emperor appears tc
be sadly deceived, and it is said that he canno
even trust the organization of the palace teteI
to her Majesty. lie is obliged to be tyran
in his own house. In fine, Eugene does no
come up to his standard, and he is growing ii
red Of her; hence, the numerous intidelities o
the Emperor, which form the theme of Par
gossip at this time.

BEATING THE TELEGRAPH-A locomotive,
between st. Louis and Springfield, day or
two ago, got attached to the wire Of the tele-
graph line, which storm ofwind had thrown
down, and away it went on its course, tear

and keeping up most tremendous crash and
clatter, as one after another came tumbling
down and were added to the queer retinue ol
the train. The locomotive arrived in towr
in good time and the engineer then first dis
covered that he had the lightning line after
him. -.aa.e

THE WORLD WE LIVE 1N-Forsake
the world, indeed Who made it! who
fitted US for itl who placed US in it
what duties lies out of it? Not one
For love to our fellow-creatures is of
God. the love to God is of our fellow
creatures, and both alike draw breath
from this bright and breathing world.
We must not forsake the world, even
though it should have been darkened by
the sins of ourselves and others; birds of
calm are often seen in storms; the prim-
rose smiles on the brow of the windiest
hill. nor cares for sleet or snow; and
hath not Christian soul the same pow
er to preserve itself from seattle which
has been given to insensate and inani-
mate things? And then what sort of a
world is to be submitted for the one we
are wickedlv bid to abandon! A dark,
narrow world, indeed; yet narrow as it
is, haunted by thoughts that can. and too
often do, debase and ter,ify into idiocv
or madness. For nature thwarted must
dwindle into decay or distortion; the
very shape of the soul becomes deformed,
its lineaments ghastly, as with premature
age; the spring. is struck out of life; the
gracious law of her seasons is obeyed !;
and on the tree of knowledge we are to
look for fruits before blossoms! Bad
philosophy and worse religion. Com
mend to such Christianity as Mr.. Bowles
breaches so eloqnently in this poem. To
use his own words, no priest is he
Whodeems the Almighty frowns upon his throne.
Reeause two pair of harmless dowagers
Whose life has lapsed without a stain becule
An evening hour with cards who deems that
Hell burns fiercer for a saraband
We dare say Mr.. Bowles, like our
selves, has long given up dancing; and
that though he may occasionally Join in
rubber of whist for sixpenny points, he
IS, like ourselves, no very assidous card
player. T'other evening we laid aside
our crutch, not unsuccessfully, to stand
up in quadrile, rather than that fifteen
young people should be disappointed of
their dos-a-dos, and we acquitted our
selves like a Lancer. Same evening we
faced an old lady at whist, and with the
exception of single revoke, which had
like to break down an old house about
our ears, played to the delight of Hoyle's
ghost, who kept looking all the while
over our shoulders, pointing to each VIC
torious card in our irresistible hand.

A GOLDEN THoUGHT-We know not
the author of the following, but it is one
OF the most beautiful productions that we
have ever read:
"Nature will be reported. All things
are engaged in writing their own histo-
ry. The plant and pebble goes attend
ed by its shadow. The rolling rock
leaves its scratches on the mountain side,
the river its channel in the soil, the ami
NAL its bones in the stratum, the fern and
the leaf the modest epitaph in the coal.
The falling drop makes its sepulchre in
the sand or stone; not footstep in the
snow or along the ground, but prints in
characters more or less lasting, a map of
of its march every act of the man in
scribes itself on the memories of it's fel-
lows, and in his own face. The air is
full of sound; the sky of tokens, the
ground is all memoranda and signatures,
and every object is covered over with
hints which speak to the intelligent.

TEARs.-Robert Hall considered the
word tears surprisingly beautiful. 1t
belongs to the Saxon family he so dearly
loved. The tear itself often glows like a
diamond on the cheek where the rose
and lilly blend. Its moral beauty as da-
guerre decomposition and benevolence is
still greater. 1t shone on the face of the
Savior's cheek at the tomb Of Lazarus,
and when he wept over Jerusalem. 1t
still shines on his deciples in their mis-
sions of mercy. There are indeed tears
of deceit like those fabled of the croco-
die. Let them pass. None but fallen
angel would gather them up. There are
tears of gratitude. of JOY. Those SPAR
kle like the morning dew.
There are tears ofpenitence. Angels
celebrate them with their heavenly harps.
Though no tears can open to us the gates
of Paradise. yet the tears of penitence,
of piety and such as are sown in the
path Of our pilgrimage, by sorrow meek
ly born will become gems to enrich our
heavenly crown.

HUMAN LIFE.
Slow pass our days


In childhood, and the hour of light are long
Betwixt the morn and eve; ; with swifter lapse
They glide in manhood and in age they flip;
Till days and seasons fit before the wind
As fli. the snow flakes in winter storm,
Seen rather than distinguished. All seem
As if sat within helpless bark
BY swiftly running waters hurried on
To shoot some mighty cliff. Along the banks,
Grove after grove, rock after frownng rock,
Bare sands, and pleasant homes, and fowery hooks,
And Isles and whirlpools in the stream appear
Each after each but the devoted skiff
Darts by swiftly that their images
Dwell not upon the mind or only dwell
in dim confusion faster yet sweep
By other banks, and the great gulf is near.
Wisely my son, while yet thy days are long,
And this fair change of seasons passes slow,
Gather and treasure the good they yield
All that they teach of virtue, of pure thoughts
And kind affections. reverence for thy God
And for thy brethren so when thou shalt come
Iuto these barren years, thou mayest not bring
mind unfurnished and withered heart.-Brydnt

And our Fathers darkest way
Leads at last but to the day;
Though lie, in their chambers deep,

Tho following condensed opinion ofa
woman's belief in woman's rights" will
remain true and in full force long after the
feminine misanthropists of the day shall
have been forgotten:
believe in woman as the equal ofman,
in that she, equally with him, was created
in the image Of our Creator. And | be-
lieve that the dignity and worth ofhuman
nature consist in this likeness to God, So
essentially and only, that after this al 9th.
er distinctions fade, and are lost.
believe that woman is inferior in DO.
sition, to man, in that she was created A.
ter him. for him, and dependent upon
him.
believe that man possesses strength
and conprehensiveOess Of intellect which
enables him to grasp vast and complica.
ted subject and reveal its intricate relA.
tiOns, which woman can comprehend on
ly after they are once unravelled.
believe that woman possesses Q deli.
cacy and acuteness Of perception, which
enables her to feel her way directly to ma.
ny important and practical truths which
man reaches by longer and moro hbori.
GUS process.
l believe that many women surpass ma

gent useful, and happy in the sphere
which God has assigned to her.
believe in woman's right to keep 81.

better fitted by nature and circumstances
to fulfil that important duty.
believe that most women, If thew lis

believe that womAn's natural and an.
propriatO position is that Of companion

believe in woman's right to submit,
unreservedly, to her husband, in every
