HOW Napoleon Treated am
Artist.

About this time David painted for the
Eughsh Marquis of Douglas standing
portrait of Napoleon, of the size of lite.
He was accustomed to paint the imperial
features without requiring NaPoleon's
personal attendance. The emperor,
therefore, knew nothing of this portrait,
until it was brought, one day, to the Tu-
illeries for his inspection. Represented
his majesty in his cabinet, as he had risen
from his desk, after night spent in
writing, a circumstance indicated by cam
dies burning in their sockets. Those
who had seen it, considered 1t, as far as
the features were concerned, the most
perfect resemblance that had yet been
obtained.
Napoleon was delighted with it, and
eagerly complimented David.
"Still," said he, II think you have
made my eyes rather too weary. This is
wrong, for working at night does not
fatigue me; on the contrary, it rests me.
am never SO fresh in the moruing, as
when I have dispensed with sleep. Who
is this portrait for2 Who ordered itg
It was not |, was Il"
."No, sire, it was intended for the Mar
quis of Douglas"
"What, Davidf" said the emperor,
scowling, "is it to be given to an Eng.
lishmar"
"Sire, he is enc of your Majssty's
greatest admirers, and is, perhaps, the
most sincere living appreGiator of French
artists"
"Nezt to me" replied Napoleon, tartly,
After a moment he added
"David, l desire the portrait I say
I will give you thirty thousand francs
for it,"
"Your Majesty, [ cannot change it's
destination" said David, indicating BY a
descriptive gesture, that he had already
been paid.
David" exclaimed Napoleon, "this
portrait shall not be sent to England do
YOU hear? l will return your marquis
his money"
"6uroly your Majesty would rot dis.
honor me" stammered the artist, at the
same time noticing that the emperor, hav-
ing exhausted persuasion, was preparing
for active interference.
"No, certainly; but what will not do,
either, is to allow the enemies of France
to possess me on canvas"
So saying, he directed sturdy Kick at
the painting,and the imperial foot passed
directly through it. Without word, he
quilted the apartment, leaving wonder
stricken audience behind him. David
had his picture carried to his studio, and
subsequently mended and restored it, and
forwarded it to its owner. tits likely that
the merit of the portrait, as work of art
and as likenes, is now somewhat lost in
the superior attractions of the patched
rent, and that its value is considerably
greater as a memento of his Msjestys
wrath than specimen of the ski! Of the
artist in ordinary. .- GoodricAs Court Of

THE SOLDEER-RREDE.

There were wild flowers in profusion,
in bOuque: AID garland, scattered about
the small but gentle mansion of Widow
Stonington. Mirrors and antique picture
frames were wreathed with them; win
dows were garlanded, and even the very
goblets-savng sufficient number to
accommodate the excited guests-were
made to serve the purpose of vases. The
long table with its snowy cloth, the side
board, and the paror ornamental piece,
bore score of their fragrant ornaments,
get queen above them all, was the pure
white boquet syringas and white thorn
blossoms that lay upon the dressing table

New England.
What a stir what tumult what
ruaning here and there what pattering
of siippered feet up and down the stairs!
what flying of nimble fingers among bits

why notI Sweet Lucy, the only surviv-
ing child of the widow, Was that morning
to nsarry Capt. Edward Burnett, young
and handsome officer, who had already
distinguished himself in the Union SER
vice.
Lucy is not handsome but very pure
and lovely in her pridal dress of pearl
white gsuzy texture, looped up here and
there With boQuets of the fragrant sy-
riuga; while among her golden curls
peep out the white violet and moss rose
bud just opening its petals to the light.
And Lucy looked dreamily happy that

so that the bridemaids protested-to her
own personal appearance. She had not
once raised her eyes to the mirror before
which they were turning her from one side
to the ether as if she were but a moving
wax figure, placed there to show to ad-
vantage the gauze and laoes with which
they we're adorning her.
A light rap is heard at the door.
"This is Edward-let him come in"
said Lucy, the lightest perccptlble flush
mounting to her cheeks at the well known
sound.
ooh no, no!' chimed half dozen
voices "not till this loop of ribbon is fas-
tened and the veil properly adjusted"
But Edward did come 10, though he
paused for a moment on the threshold to
the loveliness of the group.
The next instant he was by Lucy's side,
veil, tissues, ribbon and flowers
IN one confused mass as he caught her in
his arms and pressed his lips to her now
burning cheeks.
"Goodness me ?" "Oh myp "Did

and various other exclamations of disgust
escaped the group of brideraids, who
ooked with dismay on the havoc the
'unburnt but still handsome captain was
making of the bridal fuery of their pet
Lucy.
~ beg your pardon, ladies, but I
couldn't resist the temptation," said Ed
ward; "there Lucy, shake yourself, and

to do but to quarrel with each other, without
any person but their undertakers caring what
they may do or how they finally settle their
