He read, with exultation, tho arrival OF
the Emperor of Germany at Brussels on
the 9th ofApril, and bis advance to Valen'
ciennes, to Join the Duke Of York, who
lay there with the Allied Army under his
command. Then, opening Guthrie's we'll
thumbed volume, and laying it before bis
auditors, he seized his compasses, as a
marshal would his truncheon, waved them
in triumph, then spread out the map, mea-
suring on the scale a number of leagues to
illustrate his demonstration.

said, and do net interrupt me;" and i'm
mediately all eyes were bent upen the map
"Now, here is Valenciennes," said be
"and here is Paris, the den of the muir
derers. The Allies win be there in three
weeks at farthest what can stay them

demonstration force " In four months, !"

be in Paris, to avenge bis brothers blood /;
and peace will be restored before the corn is
off TIE ground. Hurrah!"

in my ear that made me start" Here is an
opportunity for you to see the world you
have often wished for. The contest will not
last four months; you may enter the navy,
which will be paid off at the end of the war !;
be home before winter, and boast to your
father Of all you have seen and DONE" The
impulse was so strong that left the politi-
clans in keen debate-for the dinner hour
was not expired-and, putting on my coat
and hat, set off for Leith as quick as could
walk My only fear was that | might be
too late to be received the account of the
Allies having entered Paris might have
arrived; peace might be made before l
could join, and my golden dreams be dis
sipated.

who do not possesses any property, and
who depend upon their daily labor for

ing. The language is generally INDUCED
in by men in the community who style
themselves business men, and who get rich

the United States district court, the actor
involving the sum of $3.50 which the
plaintiff elsimed to be due in the shape of
wages. 1t was determined to make this a
test case, and thus ascertained in whether
or not this sort of nuisance could be done
away with After hearing the case in all
Its bearings, Judge Leavitt decided IN favor
OF the plaintiff, giving judgement according
