The French Coup D'etat of 1852.

!. "a. u.
Paris papers to the date Of our latest European a.
vices give us the promise Of some interesting deyeI
opHents in reference to the private history OF thenl
mediate preliminary arrangements Tor the proclana-
ton Of the Empire under Napoleon III, in work
which was to appear in the course of the then current
week, from the pen OF M. GARNER de Cassagnac
These journals undertake to give us beforehand the
following as among those which to be laid before
the public, with their accomplishments in the forth.
coming work. On this authority it appears that the
coup d'etat was deliberately resolved upon not on
the I'd Of December, but as early as November 26th.
by council Of officers called together by General
Magnan: f
Not fewer than twenty officers, it is stated, were
present at this council and among them will be recog
nized the names OF some who served in the Crimea,
such as Canrobert and D'Allonville. Gen. Magnan
told them what the intentions of the President Of the
Republic were, and by what means he proposed to
execute those intentions. He also appears to have
said that they were free to act not they deemed
prudent, but at the same time he imposed upon them
solemn decree OF secresy. The twenty officers who
were present all appear to have accepted the news,
the service and the cath with as much pleasure and
fidelity as if the matter in hand had been marriage
or betrothal Their joy was SO full and nexpressi-
bic that they proceeded to embrace one another and
their secret not only kept until the I'd of Dece
Der came but up to the present hour for the revea
ton of this fact is given for the first time in the Paris
journals. The meeting Of the 26th November ended
undoubtedly in conspiracy, and those who met and
parted were, beyond all doubt, conspirators But,
as they succeeded in the end they had in view
they are now, according to NJ. Cassagnac, to be
ranked as heroes; il they had not been successful
they would have met different fate-ignominy, ex-
patriation, and the guiIotine.

The use ii Flowers.
By MARY HowIrr.

4 God might have made the earth bring forth !,
Enough for great and SINAI,
The oak tree and the cedar tree 4 ~
Without a flower at all.
he might have made enough, enough,
For every want of ours 77s s3 X; .s.i +
For luxury, medicine and toll,
And yet have made no flowers
The ore within the mountain mine
Reqnireth none to grow,
Nor doth il need the lotus flower .e
q TO make the river flow. ii + ~
The clo1ds might give abundant rain
AAdyed with rainbow light,
All fashioned with stipremest grace,
up,springing day and night.
Springing in valleys green and low, w
And onthe mountain high,
And in the silent wilderness,
Where no man passeth by,
Our outward life requires them not,
Then, wherefore had they birth?
To minister delight in man, =
To beautify the earth. W.
70 comfort man to whisper hope,
Whenever his faith is dim,
For whose careth for the flowers,
VIII care much more for him. Ms
