My Lost Friend.

Even while he was counting I kept
my hold on him. Against opposition
on the part of his bride and her family,
he stipulated bravely that I should be
his best man on his wedding day. The
beautiful m grudged me my one
small corner in his heart, even at that
time; but he was true to me-he persist
ed-and l was the first to shake hands
with him when he was a married man.
1 had no suspicion that I was to lose
him from that moment. I only discov-
cred the truth when 1 went to pay my
first visit to the bride and bridegroom at
their abode in the country; I found a
beautiful house exquisitely kept from
top to bottom; [ found a hearty well
come; I found a good dinner and an al
ny bedroom; [ found a pattern husband
and a pattern wife; the only thing 1 did
not find was my friend. Something
stood up in clothes, shook hands with
me, pressed wine on me, called me by
my christian name, and inquired what 1
was doing in my profession. 1t was
certainly something that had a trick OF
looking very much like my former COM
rade and brother; something that no
body in my situation. could have com
planned of the smallest reason; some
thing, in short, which made me take my
chamber candlestick early IN the first
night of my arrival and say good night,
while the beautifulswoman and pattern
wife was present with her eye on that
occasion!-the volume it spoke in one
glance of cruel triumph! mo more Sc
crets between you two it said bright
ly. "When you trust him now you
trust me. You may sacrifice yourself
for your love of him over and over again
still, but he shall make no sacrifices
now for you, until he has first found
out how they affect my conveniences
and my pleasure. Your place in his
heart now is where [ choose it to be-
[ have stormed the citadel, and I will
bring children by and by to keep the
ramparts; and you, the faithful old SOL
dier of former years-you have got your
discharge, and may sit and sun yourself
at the outer gates. You have been his
truest friend, but he has another now,
and need trouble you no longer, except
in the capacity of witness of his happi-
ness. This, you will observe, is the or
der of nature, and the recognized fitness
of things; and he hopes you will see it,
and so do 1. And he trusts you will
sleep well under his (and my) new roof
and so do I. And he wishes you good

in Death.

Death had marvellously improved the
appearance of Napoleon, and every one
exclaimed when the face was exposed,
Glow very beautiful!'-for all present
acknowledged that they had never seen
a finer or more regular and placid coun-
tenance. The beauty of the delicate
Italian features was of the highest kind,
whilst the exquisite serenity of their ex-
preston, was in the most striking con-
trast with the recollcctions of his great
actions, impetuous character, and turbu-
lent life. As during his eventful career
there was much of the mysterious and
inscrutable about him, so, even after
death. Bonaparte's inanimate remains
presented a puzzle and a mystery, for
Notwithstanding his great sufferingsan d
the usual ~emaciating effect of the mala-
dy that destroyed him, the body was
enormously fat. The frame was as IN
susceptible Of material disintegration as
the spirit had been ~indomitable. Over
the breast bone, which.is generally only
thinly covered, there was a coat of fat
an ich and a half thick, and on the alb
domen two inches, whilst the omentum,
kidneys, and heart, were loaded with
fat. The last organ was remarkably
small and the muscles fabby, in contra
diction to our ideal associations, and in
proof of the seeming paradox, it is i'm
possible to be a very great man with
very little heart. The seat of the NAL,
ady of which he died was his stomach
which was liberated all over like a hon,
ey comb. Several peculiarities was no
ticed ahout the hOdV He annaarod al
like a wound in the leg. The chest was
not ample, and there was something like
feminine delicacy in the roundness @
the arms and smallncss of the hands ant
feet. The head was large in proportion
to the body, with a fine, MASSEY forehead

The greatpopularity which MOFFAT'S LIFE

in consequence of the extraordinary cures effect

nsEMoney is a oueer institution.

pgrMoney is a queer institution. 1t
buys ~provender, satisfies justice, and
heals wounded honor. Everything re-
solves itself into cash, from stock job
bling to building churches. Childhood
Graves pennies; youth aspires to dimes;
manhood is swayed by the mighty dol
ar. The blacksmith swings the sledge,
the lawyer pleads for his client, and the
judge decides the question of life or
death for his salary. Money makes the
man; therefore the man mustmake mon
ey, if he would be respected by fools;
for the eye of the world looks through
golden spectacles. It buys Brussels car
pets, lace curtains, gilded cornices and
rich furniture, and builds marble man
sions. 1t drives us to church in SPLEEN
did eqiupages and pays the rent Of the
best pew. 1t buys silks and jewelry for
my lady-it commands the respect of
gaping crowds and insures obsequious
attention. 1t enables us to be charita-
BILE, to send bibles to the heather, and
relieve domestic indulgence. It gilds the
ragged Genes of life and spreads over
the rugged path of existence a velvet
carpet soft to our tread; the rude scenes
of turmoil are encased in a gilt frame.
1t bids care vanish, soothes the anguish
of the bed of sickness, stops short OF
nothing sav the grim destroyer, whose
relentless hand spares none, but levels
all mortal distinction, and teaches poor,
weak humanity that it is but dust
Thus wealth pauses or the brink Of
eternity; the beggar and the millionaire
rest side by side beneath the sod, to
rise in equality to answer the final sum
mons.
