The Empress Josephine.

AT Martinique, and in the year 1903.
was born one of the most fortunate, and
at the same time unfortunate, women who. e
feet ever pressed our mortal earth. She
was called Josephine Tascher, and her
young days were spent happily and blithe-
ly amongst the negroes of her aunts's es-
tate, for it would appear that Josephine's
mother and father thought no more could
be required of them than to bring child
into the world. II was not known whether
they ever saw the child after leaving it
with the aunt. Her father" had been a
cap ain in the French army, and had re-
tired TO an state in St. Domingo, on which
he probably died
The girl, Josephine, grew 10 be very
beautiful Her eyes were deep blue,
shaded by black lashes, and her hair was
Of rich brown; but her chief beauty lay
in the varying expression of her face, TO
which may be added that her voice was
remarkable for its sweetness and even
tenderness. She was of middle height.
Flowers were passion with her, and so,
also, was reading.
She had a favorite foster sister named
Euphsmie, Molatto an with this COM
panion, who never left lier-who followed
her through her upward and ambitious
fight-she would ramble throughout a
summers day.
Upon one of these occasions, when Jo-
sephine was so near womanhood as to have
tie day of her marriage fixed, she en-
countered an aged woman, who. seeing
her, screamed, and seizing her hand, de-
clared she would one y be Queen of
France.
Josephine laughed-but she half be-
lieved.
She married the Vscount Alexander
de Beauharnas, and the couple journeyed
10 France and to Paris. Here they ere
aied quite a sensation in society for he
was equally beautiful with herself. They
attended at court, of course, and the poor,
fated Marie Antoineitc took notice of the
colonial lady.
How little did the queen think that in
some years the young lady which she was
Pleased TO admire would bear title even
higher than that of queen, and would hear
it in the very place within which the
Queen Of France was speaking, AMI as the
mistress in that palace.
OF this marriage resulted a son (Eugene)
and daughter (IIortense), who Ultimate
ly became the mother of the present EN-
peror of the French. Everything promised
happiness to the young couple. but clouds

Suddenly the viscount became intolerant

AN INNOCENT MAN CONVICTED AND
HUNG.-In recent trial of murder
case at Atlanta, Ca, in which the evidence
was circumstan,ial, one of the counsel for
the defense told the following story of
trial which took place in the same court,
thirty years ago: a
There then lived on the bayou road a
man about twenty-five or thirty years old.
He was not an educated, nor wealthy
man, but he was honest and had good
heart. Having had limb broken he was
infirm in health. He made his livelihood
by going TO the bayou St. John every eve-
ming and catching fish to sell in market
the next morning. One moonlight eve-
ming. while sitting on the bank of the ba-
you, fishing as usual, he saw lady dressed
in white, in company with gentleman,
walking on the road beside the bayou.
They were quarreling as they passed him,
and his attention was attracted by hearing
them quarrel. After they passed he re-
sumed his fishing, and waited till he had
caught his usual supply. He then started
home with his basket. As he reached the
place known as the +" Caquet," he heard
loud cry and soon after feeble cry.
Advancing in the direction of the sound,
he saw woman in a white gown lying on
the pavement, and coming to the woman
he perceived that dagger had been
stabbed into her bosom. Thinking to re-
lieve her he took the dagger by the ham
die and drew it out. As he did so a
watchman grasped him. The woman was
killed. The poor fisherman was tried for
the murder. The case was made out
clearly against him. He had been detect
ed in the very act, bending over the body
OF the deceas d with the weapon in his
hand He was convicted, and hung at
Congo square. About six months after,
trial was going ON in Judge Canong's
court. A citizen, called as a juror, said
he did not wish to be on the jury, and
wished to speak few words TO the Judge.
The judge allowed him private conver-
sation. Surprising that h- might !. ,
scrupl-s about capital punishment,
judge asked him if that was the reasc.
he objected to being on the jury. " No"
he answered, s'that is not the reason. 1
saw the fisherman hung for The murder of
my wife. He did not do it. did it my
self from jealousy" The judge sat pet
rified. The man made for the door, es-
capped, and has never been heard Of since.

why you should not lay up two hundred a
year." m ts
Well to make long story short, he
followed my advice. / never saw fellow
switch off the wrong track and on to the
right one so suddenly. That was, let me
see--seven years ago; and now he owns
four thousand dollars worth of stock in the
company; and the dividends and increase
of stock together amount to thirty-four
per cent. ftti t
When returned, not long ago, from
the Illinois Central, of course i called at
the shop. Joe hailed me and squeezed
my hand terribly, and thanked me with
tears in his eyes, for starting him on the
"round hill track as he always calls it..
He is great favorite in the shop; he was
offered a foremanship, but he refused it,
saying he should make more money if
they would get a better foreman than he
could be but he likes now and then to
boss job, and is often sent on out door
jobs. sa
But what makes Joe most happy is to
be set on piece of work that requires
first-rate. skill and really he does il we'll,
but because he is thoroughly faithful and
works wi h will Joe would have me
take a Sunday dinner with him. He al
ways goes 10 Church with his wife and
childr n, but we had good hot dinner,
though later than usual. Joe's wife could
not have treated me better if i had been
minister Of the Gospel. She seemed TO
be perfectly happy; and her children, two
girls and a boy, are as intelligent and
well-behaved as you'll find you would
