The Destiny Of Josephine.

.
JOSEPHINE interests everybody, and we
gladly give our readers the fnllowing from
correspondent Of the Kniekerbocker
Magazine: ... .r-..e.-- dt e..
tie history Of Napoleon is yet to be
written, and by an Amlican, The world
has been amused with fables of this man
ofdestiRy, which have been transmitted
as heir-looms until they have reached him.
who now sits upon the throne of Frauee,
and is pleased with the title, 'thema OF
destiny, 3.?,.-rra4 a4i,srs, ..s,r. ,s s.,it. (.
This, though a fa3orite idea with, every
class of Frencbmen, undoUbtedly arose
rom the story Of Josephine, and through
her attachment of Napoleon Though her
simple story is smothered in the more bril-.
liant one Other husband, yet i5 was well
known that long before Napoleon admirers
claimed for him the great destiny be final.
Iy accomplished, it was a common story in
Paris which We are about to fell. 7157 Il,
It was while a child that Josephine, in
some of her Bandedugs- with her school
fellows; came across a vagrant gypsey or
fortune teller. The woman, attracted in
some way towards the beautiful child, in
sisted upon telling cher fott0ne, even
against her will and without reward She
toldher that she would very soon be wife,
a widow, and afterwards Queen Of France.
The prediction IN itself was common
enough, but as simple as it was, it had its
effect upon Josephine, who Immediately
embraced it as fact, and could for al long
time think of nothing else. EEE.Jlte q
When tie fulflment came to the first
part of the prediction, it Of course strength
ened her in the belief Of the rest; aud even
when in prison under sentence Of death,
and her bed was taken from her at night
because she was to die in the morning,
she bade her friends have courage, that it
would not be so, and that she would sit
upon that throne then in ruins beneath
the bloody feet of Robespierre; and when
thejailors, in deFision, called upon her to
name her maids of honor, that they might
be ready when she was queen, she did so,
and her nomination was finally fulfilled to
the letter. ..~.
On that very night Robespierre fell.
Had bis downfall occurred one week earlier,
Josephine's husband would not have been
one of his victims; had be lived ons day
longer she would have been another Of
them.
There was but little lapse of time be-
tween her liberation from prison and her
marriage to Napoleon, and il was by the
influence that she ezerted that he was ap-
pointed to the command Of the army of
Italy, after which the path that led them
upward was clear and open, until the des-
tiny she insisted upon was accomplished,
and the crown Of France was placed upon
berhead. a

scphiue had forctold fer herself which was J

Perhaps some Of our young lady readers
can receive some benefit by reading and fol-
lowing the advice here given by Dr. DiO Lew
lis: 5ss g.
The first time you are walking with your
arms at liberty, stop. moving then, and hold
them by your side.-You will be .surprised-t to
find how soon your rpOmpaniOn viii leave, you
behind, although you may hurry, twist, wrig-
gle, and try very. hard to keep up. One rea-
son for the slow walk among girls is to be
found in this practice of carrying the arms
motfonless. Three miles al hour, with the
arms still, isas hard work as four miles with
the arms fnee.i rf s---1
I have seen the queens Of the stage walk,
Fhave- seen Q few girls and women af queen
II bearing walking in the Street ana drawing
room. They moved their arms in a free and
graceful manner Codld this habit become
universal among girls, their chests would eu-
large, aad thsir bearing be greatly improved.
See that girl walking with both hands in her
muff.-How she wriggles and twists her
shoulders and hips This is because her arms
are pinioned Give them free swing, and her
gait would soon become more graceful.
You have seen pictures Of our muscles.
Those of the upper part Of the body, you re-
member, spread out rfrOm the shoulder in all
directions, like fan. Now if you hold the
shoulder still, the muscles of the chest will
shrink, the shoulders stoop and the whole
chest becomes thin and hgly
But sOmo girls win say, Swinging the
arms must be very slight exercise" True, it
is very slight if yOu swing the arms but once /
or ten times, but if you swing them ten thOus-
and times in a day you viii obtain more ex-
ercise Of the muscles of the chest than by all |
other ordinary movements combined In
deed, if I were asked what exercise L thought /
most effective for developing the chests of
American girls, I should reply at once, swing
ing the arms While walking.
