feels that patience is virtue. Young
Hopeful cannot wait for dinner, and spoils
his appetite and digestion with apples, and
bread and butter. Older grown, hc cannot
wait for his majority, and borrows. Tell
people 10 wait, aud thay answer that life is
all waiting, that they have waited long
enough, and waiting makes fools. Yet
waiting is the school of moral strength
The grandest achievements have to be
waited for. Small minds are always iizzinc
and leaking; so when the time comes they
are found either stale or empty"

"Reminiscences of NanoIeon.

In 18l0-that memorable year when Rome Amster-
dm Danzc, Antwep and Paris cities of the same
proud empre-Napoleon had brought his young bride
to Brussels and was received with great enthusiasm and
pomp On the morning after his arrival he reviewed
the troops of the garrison in the Aee Vere and as the
different regiments defled before him remarked grena-
der, who bore the cherons of sereant-major Tall and
erect his black eyes bazed like stars from face bronz-
ed by twenty campaigns while enormous moustache
rendered his appearance still formidable or BIZARRE
When the line reformed the emperor rode up to the
regiment of grenaders and called the sergeant to the
front The heart of the old soldier beat high and his
checks glOwed.

name?"
"Noel, sire, he answered with falterng voice.
"Were you not in the army of Itay?"
Yer, sire: drummer at the Bridge of Arcoe"
" And you became a scrjeant-maior?'
"At Marengo, sire
' But since?'
:" have taken my share Of all the great battles"
The Emperor waved his hand, the grenadier returned
to the ranks and Napoleon spoke rapidly to the Colonel
for few moments-the quick gances of his eyes to-
ward Noel showing that he was talking of him He
had been distinguished for his bravery in several bat
ties; but his modcsty had prevented his soliciting ad-
vnccent, and he had been overlooked in the promo

You have merted the Cross of the Legion of Honor"
said he giving him the one he wore lyon are bravo

The grenader, who at this moment stood between the
Emperor and the Colonel could ton speak but his eyes
said more than volumes. Napoleon made sign, the
drums beat roll there was dead silence and the Col
one turning towards the knight who with tremb-
ling hands was placing his upon his breast said in
loud voice.
" In the name Of the Emperor respect Sergeant Ma
jor Noel as sub1ieutenant in your ranks"
The regiment presented arms. Noel seemed in a
dream and only the stern immovable features of the
Emperor prevented him from falling on his knees An
other sign was made the drums beat and again the Col
onel spoke,
In the name of the Emperor respect sublieutenant
Noel as lieutenant in your ranks"
This thunderstroke nearly overcame the ganadier
his knees trembed his eyes, that had not been moist
for twenty years filled with tears and he vain

third roll of the drums and the loud voice of his colonel
d" In the name of the Emperor, respect Lieutenant
Noel as Captain in your ranks"
After this promotion the Emperor continued his re-
view with that calm, majestic air. which none who
beheld him ever forgot; but Noel bursting into food
of tears tainted in the of the colonel while from
the regiment came loud united shout of pive En-
