The Flight of the Empress Eugene.

When the Empress made her way out Of the
Tuieries by the gate next the Seine she was
escorted by Prince Metternich and by one or
two other gentlemen, but, unfortunately the
crowd was so great that she was almost imme-
diateiy separated from them. While thus
alone in the mob she was recognized by little
gamln, who no sooner cried out, ola /
Imperatrice J" than some OF the crowd ex-
claimed III threatening way, "A la guilO-
tine !! A la guillOtine just at this mo-
ment, however, fortune stood her friend for
as the crowd surged this way and that, she
divided into the thickest of it, and those who
raised the savage cry lost all sight and trace Of
her.
Eventually she found her way to the house
OF friend, but it was not such an easy thing
to effect her exit from Paris. She was advised,
and she resolved not to try the railway, for
fear of being recognized; and at length she
was glad to find a market cart which was re-
turning into Normandy. ln this cart she Sc
cured seat, and in it she spent the best part
OF three days and two nights before she saw
the sea in the neighborhood of TrOuville
where, as our readers are aware, she was at
once received on board the yacht of ir j. NJ
BurgOyne. The rest OF the story shall be told

her to be taken to England Sir John prom

and the yacht weighed anchor at once and set
sail for Ryde. The Empress was wholly un-
provided with luggage, not having even comt
and brush or a change of linen with her. The
crossing was very rough, the sea washed over
, the deck, and the Empress was wayworn and
exhausted when she arrived at Rydc. - En-.

GEN. LEES MEMoRY.--It is natural and
fitting that those who fought long and well un
der the late Robert r. Lee, even in a case so
indefensible as that of Human Slavery, should
strew flowers on his new-made grave. No
generous mind will object to this. COnfeder-
ate Virginia is passionately proud of ber most
illustrious name: why not allow her respect
fully and modestly to say SO? We see nothing
in the honors paid to the memory OF Lee by
his late associates in a desperate, prOtracted
struggle, which should excite or would justify
animadversiOn. And, as to the sub-official
who undertook to display the United States
flag at half mast on a Federal custom-house in
sympathy with the feelings of those associates,
he probably knew no better, aud has been suf-
fcientIy rebuked for his error
But holding meetings in Northern cities to
honor the memory OF the dead leader of the
Confederate hosts seems to us, to speak softly,
unwise and mischievOus. 1t tends to revive
recolections that are happily fading from the
general mind, and to infiame differences that
were better wholly etfaced and forgotten. No
one need be told that General Lees private
life was exemplary, nor that those who knew
and loved him best esteemed him living and
honor him dead as a man and a Christian.
The public cannot help understanding that the
honorS here paid to his memory would never
have been proffered had he closed his career
as he began it-a loyal, faithful soldier of the
UPion. Is it well to incite such reflections
With great respect for the attitude and bear,
ing OF Gen. Lee ever since as well as prior to his
/ Confederate career, we think not.
At all events, be careful that Truth is not
( flonted in doing honor to the momory of one
whose renown has cost our country at least a
Billion of National Debt and the lives of One
Hundred Thousand of her n0blest sons N

The Worlds Ingratitude.

A big serpent fell into cave and cried pite-
Ously. A farmer came TO the entrance to know
what was the matter, when the snake begged
him to help her out 20, no |" said the man,
no good can come from serving bad creatures
[ might nourish a snake in my BOSOM" But
the snake entreats, and she promises the far
mer the best reward the world is in the habit
of giving. Malice, cunning and rich promises
befool even the wise; the farmer helps the
bad, treacherous serpent out of the hole, and
then, as bis reward, she prepares to drown
him. Have deserved that of thee? Does
that agree with thy promise p asked the far
mer. | am double-tOngued, responded the
snake. That's the way the world rewards.
He whom you save from the gallOws generally
brings you to it. The farmer is confOunded,
and the snake further says, "As thou wilt not
believe me-, let us appeal to the next two We
meet, and abide by their decision, no matter
whom of us it may benefit or hurt. D."
Soon an old horse comes along; they sub
nit the Case to him. He says: " Fifteen years
nave L served carman tomorrow he will
turn me over to the knacker. That's the
worlds reward Likewise, speaks the old
dog: to whom they next appeal: " have for
ten years assisted my master in hunting aud
catching foxes and hares; now he has directed
the gameKeeper to hang me to willow tree.
That's the worlds reward" The farmer is
loOslng hope, when fox comes trOtting along.
To him the farmer appeals, promising him
all his chickens, if he will relieve him from the
horrible reptile The fox undertakes the
business, persuades the snake to show him the
cave, the danger in which she has been, and
the service the farmer has rendered her. They
arrive at the hole, the lux griles in, and tn,
snake follows, aud shows him all the intrica
cles OF the cave. Just then the fox slips out
and before the snake can turL round, the far
mcr, at the fox suggestion, quickly shuts vi
the hole. The farmer being thus saved, tn
fox demands that in the evening the hen-hous
is to be left open for him.
The farmer gets home. tells his wife wha
has happened, and what he had pledged tn
fox for lis service The chickens and gees
are mine, says the woman; you can't Civ

terlniued to keep his word, leaves the chicke

THE Poor SCHOOL MISTRESS. s.-The tele-

stoning to death of young schoolmistress by
atrocity and vileness The boys had disliked
this poor girl from the start because she was
diminutive in stature and of feeble health.
These Disabilities should have recommended
her to their respect and sympathy; but instead
they urged her death, for it is quite apparent,
from the circumstantial narratives given OF the
affair, that the young wretches intended to
prevent her, by their cruel violence, from ever
entering the schoo-room again. Four Ofthem
