"A Partisan Scene.

The correspondent of an English jour
nal describes a scandalous scene which re-
Gently occurred during ball at the Tuil-
cries. A young nobleman, the Emperor s
leader Of the cotillion, selected a young
lady who had been the leading star at the
ball, to share with him the honors of his
sovereignty, to the great modification and
vexation of another lady present who in
her day had been a beauty, had led the
cotillion, and been proclaimed the star of
fashion. 1t SO happened that the seat oc-
cupied by this woman was absolutely ne
cessary for the figure about TO be danced,
and her successful rival requested permisl
sion to occupy it. A curt refusal was the
only reply vouchsafed "Then we must
lessen the circle" returned mademoiselle
calmly, and her partner procuring chair
placed it directly before the female, who
colored with rage and indignation, and
the moment that mademoiselle had seated
herself began kicking her on the shius
and pushing the chair with her knees, and
although requested to desist, only repeated
the offensive treatment with more energy.
The insulted belle appeared to Mile Mu-
rat, who volunteered to exchange places,
and was proceeding to occupy the obnox--
ious chair, when it was kicked over the
floor right in the middle of the cotillion
Of. course the dance ceased at once, the
Empress was informed of the circun-
stances, the offenders husband was sent
for, and the irritated ex- beauty was escor-
ted from the hall by her liege lord, be-
Istowing as she went a most scornful
glanco upon the triumphant rival. The
next day the offender eceived her dismvata
tion for the Tuileries in due form and,
as it is the first time such ceremany has
been gone through, of course it has crea-
ted no small sensation, ... .-

CAREER OF A YOUNG CRIMINAL
William W. Austin, seventeen years Of
age, has been arrested at Boston ON a
charge of robbing his employer, Mr.. A.
Pierce, and admitted to bail in the sum
of $4,000. His father is dead, and his
mother woman Of responsibility, resides
in Providence, r. I. A year or two ago
he was arrested for series Of robberies
of the postofice in that city, In conse.
qucnce of his youth he was put uponspro-
bation and sent to sea. He, was placed
on boardof a ship, and went one voyage
to China. On his return Mr.. Pierce en-
gagged him as an Office boy. He behaved
so well that Mr.. Pierce soon Increased his
wages, and began to send him to the bank
to make deposits. 80 ~ ,,
1t appears that BE now began to rob
his employer. In one Instance he forged
the signature of Mr.. Pierce upon the back
of a check for $4,000, and obtained the
money for it. Finally he forged his sig
nature to check for $4,000, and at.
tempted to dispose of it, but the sum was
so large as to causean investigation, which
led olhis arrest. o .....
The whole amount of money obtained
by him was $4,000, which he had
squandered in the most reckless manner
To one man he gave 81 900, To another
he gave $3.50 to introduce him to young
lady. When arrested he had been oui
riding with his young lady He had paid
some hundreds Of dollars for horse-hire,
and he had bought horse and buggy, fol
which he had paid 5000. He had bought
peaches by the dozen, to distribute among
friends, paying as high as$2 Or SS apiece
A violin was also purchased by him fol
$780, None Of the stolen money has beer
recovered. The prisoner. confessed hi

THE ROMAN EMPERORS.
BY JOHN S. G. ABBOTT.
AUREL1AN, TAC1TUs AND PROBUs.

The Emperor Aurelian, after having ex-
hibited the captive queen Zenobia to grace
his triumph, treated her with generosity
rarely equalled in those days. He assigned
to her an elegant rural villa, on the banks
of the Tivoli, about twenty miles from the
metropolis. Her oriental renown gave
her high position among the proud ma
irons of Rome. Her daughters, inheriting
their mothers beauty, married into the
most illustrious families, and for several
centuries Roman mobiles boasted their de-
scent from the captive queen of the East.
With idolatrous devotion, Aurelian, as
a thank offering, consecrated aalarge por-
tion of the spoils of his campaign to the
erection of a magnificent palace or temple
to the Gods of Rome. Into every depart
ment of the government he infused vigor,
and the most salutary reforms were insti-
tuted. But corruption had been under
mining the national fabric for ages, and
no spasmodic efforts could Introduce per-
.mament reformation. The emperor, in
his endeavors to arrest the ruin of the
state, encountered continual and most
vexatious opposition. In his chagrin he
wrote to a,friend J
"Surely the Gods have decreed that my
life shall be perpetual warfare. A, Sc
dition, within the walls of Rome, has in
augurated civil war. The workmen Of
the mint, instigated by slave to whom I
had entrusted the finances, have risen in
rebellion. They are suppressed; /; but /
have lost seven thousand men in the con-
hict." ...+r J.ss --. 5a.# aai q
Aurelian was man of iron nerves, and
never hesitated in inficting any amount
of suffering which he deemed essential to
the accomplishment of his plans. He
punished none but the guilty, but those
he pursued with relentless severity. One
of the writer's of the time says: rgn.
"The executioners were fatigued, the
prisons were crowded, and the unhappy
senate lamented the death or Punishment
of its most illustrious members" Aure-
liam was heroic and a stern soldier, with
all the exccllencies and all the defects of
such character conspicuously developed.
Disturbances iu the East again called hin
to the head Of his army. As the troops
were crossing the Hellespont conspiracy
was organized against him by some who
had incurred his displeasure, and were
dreading inevitable punishment. The
ocnspirators fell uponhim with the enefgies
which desperation alone can inspire -
Aurelian fought fiercely for his life, but he
was cut down.
1t is strange that any one should have
been willing to accept the imperial scep-
lire, since it SO invariably lee, to assasssii'
nation. For two centuries, ont of the
great number who had been invested with
the purple, but three or four had died g
natural death. All the rest had been as
Isassinated, and many after q reign Of but
la few weeksor days. The virtuous, thsiyi.

SWEETNESS OF TEMpER.-I cannot
forbear pointing out to you, my dear
child,"' said General, jackson once, to o
young lady in whose welfare he felt a
deep interest, "the great advantages that
will result from temperate conduct and
sweetness Of manner to all people, on all
occasions. Never forget that you are

temper; but it is misfortune, which,
not having been sufficiently restrained in
my youth, has caused me inexpressible
pain. 1t has given me more trouble to
subdue my impetuosity than anything I
ever undertook," )" Let these words of
the venerated sage be taken to heart, not
only by young ladies, but by every one.

Happy silence, welcome guest, "a
When the heart with care Oppressed,
Fain would muse ON other days,
Where so oft the spirit strays,
Come to me, at vesper hour,
With thy sweet and magic power; ..
Secret hopes and feelings deep, ..
By the mystic token keep.
Holy silence, enter where
Sinners humbly bend in prayer;
Worship of the mute and meek, =.
Ever doth the Highest seek;
While the soul, 10 courts above,
Rises on the wings Of love, o.
Soaring to the realms of light .t
Noiseless as the eagles flight.
Gentle silence, precious balm, 10
Dear thy soft and "silver calm )"
When some friendly hand take,
Words the pensive spell would break;
But the voiceless grasp can tell,
All the heart would utter well;
Soothe the mind to purest peace,
Speak of love that ne er shall cease.
Solemn silence, when, at last,
All life's griefs and tolls are past;
Come tome in that dread day,
When from earth | pass away;
Let me view the sacred sign '." --

And in stiffness let me die,

j The ENJOYMENT OF OCCUPATION

THE ENJOYMENT OF OCCUPATION -
The mind requires some object on which
its powers must be exercised, and with
out which it preys upon itself aud be-
comes miserable. A person accustomed to
life of activity longs for ease and retire
ment, and when he has accomplished this
purpose, finds himself wretched, The
pleasure Of relaxation is known to those
ouly who have regular and interesting oc-
cupation.a Continued relocation becomes
weariness and on this ground, we may
safely assert that the greatest degree Of
real enjoyment belongs not to the luxuri-
Gus man of wealth, or the listless votary
of fashion, but to the middle classes Of So
ciety, who along with the comforts Of life,
have constant aud important occupation.
