NAPOLEON AND THE SAILOR BOY.

In the year 1909 the French flotilla lay
at Boulogne, waiting for an opportunity
to make a descent upon the southern
shores of England Day after day Ma
poleon Bonaparte paced the beach, sweep
ing with his telescope the blue expanse of
the Channel, watching the appearance
and disappearance of the English feet
Among the Englishmen who were pris-
oners al Boulogne was a sailor boy, who
was permitted to ramble about the town
and sea shore-it being reckoned impossi-
bls for him to make his escape.
One day as he was wandering along
the beach gazing sorrowfully across the
waves towards the white cliffs of dear
England, and thinking of his home among
the green lanes of Kent, he saw an empty
hogshead floating shorewards with the
advancing tide. AS soon as the depth of
the water would permit be ran into the
sea, seized the barrel, showed it to land,
rolled it rp the beach and hid it in cave.
The thought of home had nerved his arm,
and bri Iht idea had dawned upon HIN
and filed his heart with hope. He re-
solved to form boat out of the barrel.
With his clasp knife for his only tool, he
cut the barrel in two. He then went to
the wood that lined the shore and brought
down some willow twigs, with which he

while he IL fast asleep.
A muskeetO will fight you in broad da>
lite at short range, and give you knock
in his sidss-the flea is game bug, and
way-but the bed bug is a garroter, who
waits till you strip, and then pick out a
mellow place tew eat you.
If was in the habit of swearing,
wouldn't hesitate to cuss q bed bug rite
tew his face.
Bed bugs are uncommon smart In a
small way, enc pair of them will stock
hair mattress in 2 weeks with bugs enuff
tew last small family q whole year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray when
bed bugs are in season the only way to
get rid of them is to bile up the whole
bed in aqua forts, and then heave it away
and buy new one.
Bed bugs when they have grone aul
they intend to, are about the size ov
bluejay's eye and have brown complex
ion, and when they start out to garrote
are az thin az a grease spot, but when
they get thru garroting they are swelied
up like blister.

IF bed bugs have emmy destiny to 6ll it
must be their stummucks, but it ms
tew me that they must have been made

If they wuz got up for some wise pur-
pose they must have took the wrong road,
for there kant be emmy wisdom in chaw-
ing a man aul mite long, and raising

If thare is some wisdum in aul this,
hope the bed bugs will chaw them folks

cUR1OsETIEs IN MARRIAGE.

The Religious Telescope says, we find
in one of our exchanges the following in
teresting article respecting the Edenic in
stitution, as now existing among mankind.
Perhaps no class of facts more strikingly
illustrates the bitter consequences of the
transgression, than those pertaining to the
marriage state:
Marriage is the first and most ancient
of all institutions. AS the foundation of
society and the family, it is universally
observed throughout the globe, no nation
having been discovered, however barbar-
Gus, which does not celebrate the union
of the sexes by ceremony and rejoicing.
The abuses of the institution, as poly
gamy, infdelity, and divorce, have in no
manner touched its existence, however
they may have vitiated its purity.
The condition of women in all countries
has afforded fruitful theme for the OBJ
servation of the traveller, and the specula~
tions of the philosopher and the novelist
1t has been uniformly found that the saw
age is the tyrant of the female sex, while
the position and consideration given to
wonan is advanced in proportion TO the
refiaement of social lifa. Under the laws
of Lycurgus, Numa, and even late law
givers, the power of the husband over his
wife was absolute, sometimes even includ-

THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT.
A BALLAD.

TThe following is the translation Of an
italian poem, written by young Roman
girl not many years ago. and embodying
beautiful legend prevalent among the peas
antry in Catholic countries i
There's legend that's told of gypsy who
dwelt
In the land where the pyramids be
And her robe was embroidered with stars,
and her belt
With devices right wondrous to see
And she lived in the days when our Lord
was child
On his mothers iIpmaculate breast;
When he fed from his foes, when to Egypt
eXiled,
lie went down with st. Joseph the blest.
This Egyptian held converse with magic,
methinks.
And the future was given to her gaze;
For an obe,isk marked her abode and sphynx
On her threshold kept vigil always.
She was pensive and ever alone, nor was seen
In the haunts of the dissolute crowd;
But communed with the ghosts of the Pha-
raohs, ween,
Or with visitors wrapped in shroud.
And there came an old man from the desert
one day,
With a maid on mule, by that road
And child on her bosom reclined-and the
way
Led them straight to the gipsy's abode
And they seemed to have Travelled a weari-
some path.
From their home: many, many league,
From a tyrant's pursuit. from an enemy's
wrath
!, F,k,
And the gypsy came forth from her dwelling
and prayed
That the pilgrims would rest there while:
And she offered her couch to that delicate
maid,
Who had come many, many q mile;
And she fondled the babe with affections
csress,
And she begged the old man would repose:
Here the stranger, she said. ever finds free
access,
And the wanGerer balm for his woes
Then her guests from the glare of the noon
day she led
To seat N her grotto SO cool;
Where she spread them banquet of fruits,
and shed,
With manger, was found for the mule.
| With the wine of the palm tree, with the
dates newly culled,
All the toll of the road she beguiled
And with song. in a language mysterious,
she lulled
On her bosom the way yfaring child.
When the gypsy anon in her Ethiop hand
| Placed the infants diminutive palm,
| Oh twas fearful to see how the future she
| scanned
Of the babe in his slumber so calm!

POOR PONTO.

One Of the most affecting stories ever
heard about dog was told me many
years ago by an uncle of mine who once
lived in Paris. Ny uncle was walking
on one of the quays, when he saw msn
approach. holding dog by chain The
poor animal was frightened, and yet did
not attempt to struggle az he was being
led along. He looked up piteouslv at HE
jailor, and every now and then tried to
fawn about his feet, as if pleading with
him.
''Poor brute, he migh' know, seeming
ly, what was going to happen to him.
said the man.
"What is going to happen 80 inquired
my uncle.
81 am going to drown him, sir; that is
what will happen"
''But why, sir sre you his master %
81 am certainly his mastsr, and he ia
old. Poor Ponto. / am sorry, but it
must bo."
The dog gave low whine and tremb-
lirgly crouched closer TO his master.
''He does not seem 20 very old, and
drowning is hard DEATH demonstrated
my uncle
''Sir, he is quite useless
While he was speaking the words the
man unmoOred little boat, and then lift
ed the dog in and rowed to the middle Of
the stream. When be came to where the
water was deepest, my uncle saw him
lift up the dog suddenly and throw him
with great force into the stream.
If tho master had thought that the dogs
age AMI inErmities would prevent his
struggling for life he was much mistaken,
for he rose TO the suface, kept his head
we'll up, and trod the water bravely The
man then began to push the dog away
with an oar, and at last, losing all pa
tience, he struck out so far to deal the
dog blow that he overbalanced himself
and fell into the river. He could not.
| swim, and now began the generous an
| imaPs efforts, not TO save his own life, but
| that of the master who was trying TO
drown him. The dog swam to him, and
seizing fast hold Of his coat collar. held
him up until boat put off to his rescue
and brought him half drowned and wholly
| frightened, to the shore---his faithful dog
barking, crying and licking his hand and
| face in the greatest excitement of affection.
| remember still the look with which nv
uncle used to tell how he stepped forward
and asked the man:
''Do you still think him usciess-this
noble, generous dogs"
81 think he deseI yes = better MASTER
| said gentleman who he'd witnessed the
incident and then and there he made an
offer TO buy Ponto: but the man, en-
bracing the deg, said hoarsely:
"No, sir no, was wrong: as Icno
as have n crust, will give half to my
poor Ponto.'
A woman who had a basket on her
arm came up at the time and said, "I
should think you would, indeed, or elre
you ought to be ashamed to look him in
the face" and out of her basket took A
piece of meat, and the dog was Toasted
and petted and made much of, and from
that time, as long as my uncle staid in
| Pars, he cffen saw Ponto on the quay,
and the stoY of his genero,i.y to hls
master made him SO many friends that
the Digs keeping was no longer burden
some. No one was suffered TO rloisst
him, and his cid age was doubtless the
| happiest period Of his life.
