NEroLEoN's DILEMMA.-Napoleon
is in a position OF man who has to
support against formidable assailants,
an ally who can lend him little aid,
and may at q moment deprive him
even Of tha. little Ivy a prccipitate
flight. Surprising the best, he is
bound TO maintain at a great distance
a French army-now. 1t is asserted. in

a throne which is not French which
IS occupied by a q man who refuses to
be French satrap, and which is
menaced ut once by the Catholic world
and by one Of the greatest Of military
powers. But let us Tor q moment sup
pose the worst. Imagine the Emperor
to have resigned, and escorted by his
Austrian guard, to have Quilted Vera
Cruz in any German or British ship,
what will be the position OF the great
Emperor hen? Obviously bu. one of
two courses will be open to l'im Either
be must acknowledge a defeat, or he
must accept the situation he himself
has created. and declare Mexico a de-
peniency Of France.

The Wife.

On earth to man there is budone
His heart can love. his soul enn own;
Though mvriads fit before his view,
There's but one to whom he. true
That one can sway him to asd fro,
Can make him drain the cup of woe,
Can give him JOY or blast h 8 life.
And that ones name is simply wife.
But in that name a world is sispread,
a world by all beloved. rev.red,
Who have the sense to know, its worth
And spurn the giddy joys of earth;
For that full heart in her dear breast,
If rightly prizcd, eternal rest
Is scarce with biissful sweets more rife
Than that pure heart-a loving wife.

JEFF. DAVIS LOSES Hrs SrEclE.--

JEFF. DAVIS Loses Hrs SPECIE
Col. Clark, of the rebel army, who
was captured by one of our scouting
parties while cndeavoring to escape
from Richmond on one of the last
trains from the doomed city, asserts
that he was in charge Of all the specie
which was removed from Richmond;
that when his train broke down and he
found it impossible to get it on the
track and off again, and seeing our
forces approaching: he ordered it set
on fire, and that all his efforts to save
the specie was unavailng; that the
soldiers broke o,en the kegs, and,
amid the excitement and tumult, sol
diers and citizens appropriated all there
was. lie asserts that he knows that
no other amounts Of specie not in the
pockets Of its owners were taken from
Richmond, and this lot was all stolen.
He states further that the amount has
been vastly over estimated, and con-
firms the statement heretofore made by
Gen. Grant. that it amounted only TO
abou, 100000. Col. Clark was an
ola regular army officer previous to
the breaking out Of the war, and is a
near relative of one Of our most dis
tin~uishel naval oiiiccrs, to whom he
communicated the above statements.
He is still prisoner in our hands,
and his trulhfulncss is not doubted by
anv.-New l'ork UeruM.
