Louis Napoleon.

In August, 1910, after Louis Napole-
on's most bootless attempt to obtain pos
session of France, he was convened to

Montholon and others. This Montholon
was one of the faithful few who had ad-

Louis Napoleon off to America In 1910,
however, it was resolved to have him
tried by the Chamber Of Peers on the
charge of High Treason.
The trial took place in the House of
Peers, at Paris, many of the members of
which had been ennobled by the great
Napoleon. Mr.. Berryer appeared as Louis
Napoleon's counsel, and defended him
with courage and eloquence The accused
himself addressed the Court, vindicating
his conduct, asserting the claims of the
Napoleonic dynasty, and, stoutly affiirm-
ing that he, as the head of the Imperial
family, was entirely justified IN seeking
to regain the crown which his uncle had
lost, not by fair battle, but by treachery.
All was in vain. The Peers were COM
PEELED to convict him, on the evidence
before them, as well as upon his own
avowal. He was sentenced to perpetual
imprisonment in French fortress, and
was Immediately removed to Ham, where,
a few years before Prince Polignag and
his political comates had been confined.
after the Revolution of 1880.
Here, as we have already stated, Louis
Napoleon passed some of the best years of
his life. He read and wrote a great deal,
and was greatly indebted, for nearly every
thing beyond prison fare, to the liberality
of Count pOrsay. and Lady Blessington,

What Louis Blanc said was common
sense, but it fell upon ears to whom such
sound Democratic doctrines were wholly
unwelcome For, ever since the death of
his elder brother in 1888, Louis Napoleon
was impressed with the one idea-that
the Empire was to be restored, and in his
own person.
In May, 1916, in the disguise of a
workman dress, carrying out some planks
upon his shoulder, and aided by his med
ical attendant, Dr. Conneau, (now the
Court physician,) Louis Napoleon sue
ceeded in battling his jailors and guard,
and effected his escape. Crossing the
frontier into Belgium, he once more found
an asylum in England. His misfortunes
now interested many who had previously
not cared to make or cultivate his ac-
quaintance, and his society was sought
after, in the two following years, by some
of the highest nobility of Britain. This
phase in his life brings us to the French
Revolution of 1913, out of which the

HAVING ENEMIEs.-A man that hath
soul worth a sixpence must expect to
have enemies. 1t is utterly impossible
for the best of men to please the whole
world; and the sooner this is understood
and position taken in view of the fact.
the better. Even when pretended friends
are fawnlng upon you, seeking to gain
something through your influence or your
means, it is well to understand whether
they are not your worst enemies There
is such small sprinkling of disinteres-
ted friendship in our present comparative
state of society, that there is very little
danger in mistaking a true friend when
you really look sharp about you. Such
an individual comes not with loud and
blatant professions of good to you, not
with a mask of dissimulation upon his
brow but candid demeanor, plain
dealings, and few or no professions.
Unlike the "artful dodger,' who is your
seeming friend to accommodate his own
selfish purposes, the honest man is chary
of his compliments, and would not flattel
Neptune for his trident, nor Jove for his
power to thunder. He is reader to grant
your favors than to receive them, and be-
slows graciously his smiles
Men must expect enemies just in pro-
portion that they are thriving. envy,
hatred, and malice, and all uncharitable-
ness" are weeds of rank growth in the
soil Of the present times. There are
enough of mean souls at every step taken
in the path of lie who would like to pre-
vent your success; and they hate you as
long as you prosper; if for no other rea-
son simply because they are not excelling
you in your labor and prosperity. 1t
were of little use to heed them or their
efforts; the sure and best way to triumph
is to live down their petty SANDERS and
calumnies. Such enemies are towards,
and they hate you because they fear you.
The true motto for man is to do right
and let the consequences take care of
themselves. 1t is all sheer vanity to
strive to accommodate yourself at every
point to the whims and notions of some
other persons, and try to square your ideas
to please this or that sect or party. On
the score of mere personal gain alone,
you must inevitably be the loser; and
once losing sight of your integrity and
independence, you become the slave of
petty tyrants and make yourselves bur-
dens heavy to be borne.
Do right though you have enemies
You cannot escape them by doing wrong.
And it is little gain to barter away honor
and integrity, and divest yourself of mo-
raj courage to gain what? Nothing
Better abide by the truth-frown down
all opposition and rejoice in the feeling
which must inspire free and iudepen-
dent man.

"However, having repaired to the Chateau,

room, where little seemed to be wanting of
what is required for domestic comfort. | at
once perceived-let this be said to the credit
OF Louis Phillippe-that the prisoner was very
kindly treated. He sat in high-backed, arm
chair, between the chimney and a table spread
with books and papers. AS entered he rose,
came forward to meet the expected visitor. and
shook hands with me with mingled express
sion of cordially and reserve. NV impression
was that for moment he thought of assum-
ing sort of stately countenance ; but he was
almost instantly sensible of the mistake, did
his best to appear easy and free, and we got
into conversation. had never seen him be-
fore nor was enabled, at that time, to remark
now different he was in his features, his man
ners, his department, from all the other mem
oers OF Napoleon's family, whom I did not
know. But it struck me that there was moth
ing IN him of the Napoleonic type, that he
spoke with rather foreign accent, and that he
had less command of language than any man
had ever conversed with"
The foreign accent is readily to be ac-
counted for. Louis Napoleon had spent
nearly twenty years almost wholly in Switz-
erland, where, of course, he acquired the
foreign literally Germanized) pronuncia-
ton of the French language He left
France in childhood, and had not been
again allowed to return to it-not even
to see his mother when she was dying.
Here, to understand what follows, let it
be remembered that in the earliest of
Louis Napoleon's Writings, called "Rev-
erles Politiques, he lays down the dictum
that France would be regenerated only by
means OF one of the Napoleon family, as
this dynasty alone could reconcile repub-
llcan principles with the demands of the
military spirit of the nation.
Louis Blanc and he conversed freely on
the political condition and prospects of
France. Both agreed that Louis Philippe's
system must fall, based as it was upon
corrupt practices at home, and perma-
nent humiliation abroad. Then came
what system will follow? Louis Napoleon
professed to be a "true Democrat to
acknowledge, in full, the sovereignty of
the people, and to think that this princi-
pie was to be carried out through Univer-

While fondly I'll call it my own,

And lay me to rest on loves downy pillow,
To dream of home in the sky;
The hand of affection shall smooth it at morn,
And lend it a softness anew,
And my heart forget that it treasures thorn,
And unfold as the flowers do.
Oh, then, will an Eden around me outspread
And angels be lowering nigh,
And shall forget all the tears have shed,

Not sorrow shall dim the joy in my breast
Or grief in the vista appear,
But sweetly and calmly III sink to my rest

The Plague.

A nameless shadow broods DER earth.
And sits upon the sea-
The peasant feels it by his hearth,
And on the open lea;
While in the low winds timid means,
Resembling mortal woe,
A spectral presence humbly owns,
And waits the coming blow
Slowly the sadden'd sun rolls down,
Mid curtains strangely red
And lazily the pale stars crown,
The archway overhead;
While slowly, feebly, from the east
In double gloom array'd,
Come Night and Death, to join the feast
OF withering nature made.
The mighty heart of Life is stilrd
With agony and dread,
And boundless space is seeming filrd,
With whispers from the dead
The watchful vulture flaps his wings,
While circling on the air,
And earthward looks, where naughty kings
Are pallid with dispair.
The miser fondles oer his gold,
And clasps it in his arms,
And as each weary heap is told,
Gloats on its many charms;
Yet in his heart there is grief.
Upon his brow gloom,
And in his soul a stern belief.
Of near, impending DOOM
The maiden on the sunny green,
Has thrown her flowers by,
And gazes on the Silly scene,
With sad and fearful eye;
Yet, ask her as she silent stands.
She cannot tell you why,
But lists voice from spirit lands,
Are you prepared to die?"
The hoary pilgrim bows his head,
While down his silver beard,
Roll tears, by sorrow left unshed,
When life was blank and seard
And yet, not for himself he fears,
But others, dearer far,
Have brought to light those sacred tears,
And dimmed life's setting star.
The mother, bending Ger her child,
To press its stainless brow,
Looks in its eyes SO dark and wild
