GRTSCELLI,
THE TUILERIES SPY.

Griscelli, young Corsican bravo,
after duels and escapadoes without
number, was arrested at Lyons for an
enormous peccadillo, and placed in
prison. This scandal brought him to
the Corsican lawyer, Abatucci, who
had him pardoned and sent to Paris as
bully who might be useful among the
band of Corsicaus who were to be en-
ployed in the then approaching coup d.
etdt. Employed first to spy upon GEN
cral Morgan, he subsequently exploded
Il Bourbon conspiracy against the life
of the prince-president, and was pro-
NOTED to kind Of personal guardian
ship of the latter, after his assumption
of the empire. His skilful manage
ment of an assassination JOHN which
a correspondent of Mazzini's, named
Kelch, sent over with murderous in
structions from England, figured as the
villain-is told in the following sensa-
tional anecdote
A few months after the former adven-
ture, Count Walewski, then ambassa-
dor in London sent a telegram in cipher
to Napoleon, informing him that man
named Kelch, in the pay of Mazzini,
was going to Paris in order to assassin
ate the Emperor.
The latter Immediately sent for the
prefect of police, communicated the
despatch to him, and asked for an in
telligent, devoted, and energeticagent.
NJ. Pietri remembered his countrymen,
and received orders to present him
next evening during an interval be-
tween the acts at the opera.
The prefect lost no time in informing
Griscelli of his recommendation and
the Emperor's orders. The secret agent
was delighted, but suddenly he was
seized by kind of vertigo, such as he
had experienced more than once during
a duel; and upon the projects asking
him why he turned so pale, he could
only answer that he felt there would
be blood shed in the matter. The Cor
sican was as superstitous in such things
as his master on the throne.
He was punctually at the opera, and
after the first act the prefect and the
agent were both summoned to the inn
perial box. AS the Emperor came to
the door and passed the empress, he
asked one of the officers on duty:
"Who is that with the prefect ?" And
when he was told that it was a Corsi-
can, he added: "Oh, then, he has nc
doubt, a stiletto." Aud all laughed
heartily at the association of ideas in
the Emperor's mind. But there was
more in the words than they imagined
The Emperor beckoned the two men tC
follow him on the terrace behind the
box, which is on a projected corner o.
the building, SO that nobody can over
hear what is said there; and when they
We're seated at his command, he turned
to Griscelli and said:
"Griscelli, am glad 10 hear you arr
Corslcan. All the men from the islant
have, from Of old, been devoted to my
family. NJ. Pietri, who IL very muci
interested in you, has spoken well o
you and your intelligence and energy

The certain cure for neuralg in is found
in judicious eating and exercise and
not only so, a permanent cure cannot
be effected in any other way, while
these are always efficient.
In neuralgia the blood is always too
thick, impure, and in excess; and as
diet and exercise combine to remedy
these conditions, some rules in relation
to them are desirable. These will be
adapted to sedentary persons, to those
who live indoors generally, as women,
students, bOokkeepers, and the like.
1t is rather better to eat thrice day,
morning, noon, and night; that is, as
soon after sunrise as practicable, for
breakfast; dinner about o'clock; sup
per before sundown.
Eat othing whatever between meals
Breakfast, a single cup of coffee OF
tea, some cold bread and butter, with 8
dish of berries or stewed fruit in sum.
mer time, and nothing else; in winter,
meat, fish or poultry, or, in their stead,
couple of soft-boiled eggs.
Supper should be made of cold brea d
and butter, and cup of warm drink
of some kind, and nothing else,
Dinner the same as break fast, adding
only vegetables and some fruit, raw OF
stewed, as dessert, and nothing else.
A different kind of vegetablc may be
taken every other day for variety; the
kind of meat may be changed at each
meal.
The object in the specification above
made is to discourage variety of meals
because it is this which tempts all t.
eat too much. Persons at times have
felt at the table that they had eaten
enough; but on seeing very inviting
dish unexpectedly brought in, good
meal has been eaten of this last variety
The general and hurtful error is that
too great variety is spread on our ia.
bles, not only occasioning trouble o
preparation and great loss, but also
positive injury in the temptation of tn
appetite. The reader may try il upol
himself on any two days. A dinner o

cases resort to the decanter, with tht
vain hope of riddance in some way
1t cannot be denied that the first step
toward Incorporate habits have beer
taken in using liquors to remove tn,

A very great aid toward overcoming
habit of too hearty eating will be foun'
in sitting down to table with onl,

The Crows Children.


ny PHuBE CARY.
A huntsman, bearing his gun in q field,
Went whistling merrily;
When he heard the blackest of all black crows
Call ont from n withered tree:
"You are going to kill the thievsh birds,
And would II were you
But you mustn't touch my family,
Whatever else you dor
I'm only going to kill the birds
That are eating upmy crop;
And If your youhg ones do such things.
Be sure they'll have TO stop"
"o,' said the crow "my children
Are the best ones ever born;
There isn't one among them all
Would steal grain Of corn
But how shall know which ones they are?
DO they resemble you?" birds
80 no. SAID the crow, they're the prettics
And the whlteSt that ever ncwI'
SO oil went the sportsman, whistling,
And OFF, too, went his gun;
And Its startling echoes never ceased
Again till the day was done.
And the old crow sat untroubrd
Cawlng away in her nook;
For she said, He'll never kill my birds,
Since told him how they look"
Now there's the hawk. my neighbor,
She'll see what she Will see, soon;
And that saucy, whistling blaclsblrd
May have to ch ange his tuner
When, 10 she saw the hunter
Taking his homcward track,
With string of crows as long as his gun,
Hanging down his back.
"Alack, alacl< !" said the mother,
What in the world have you done?
You promised to spare my pretty birds,
And you've killed them every onei"
"Tour blrdsr' said the puzzled hunter:
"Why, found them in my corn;
And besides they are black and ugly
AS any that ever were bornw
"Get out OF my sight, you stupid!'
Said the angriest of crows;
"How good and fair the children are
There's none but parent knowsr
"Ah see, l see," said the hunter,
but not as you do, quite;
1t takes a mother to be so blind
She can't tell black from white"

DY DEXTER SMITH.
Oh! how still the baby's lying,
And they whisper-"she is dyingv'
Tears and prayers cannot save her,
She must go to Him whogavc herr
Those bright eyes must close forever,
Those sweet lips must kiss us never;
Fold the wee hands DER her bosom,
And thus fades our little blossom!
We have guarded well our treasure;
We have loved her beyond measure;
Much of earth, yet more of heaven.
She was only lent,-not given;
He, who did a brief time spare her
From His garden, brighter, fairer,
Takes her to His realm supernal,
That the bud bear bloom eternal!

Next Monday we are to have through rail-
road connection with Bangor by means of the
narrow gauge, an event which every business
man will rejoice over, and WHICH will add
greatly to the comfort and convenience of the
travelling public. Section men were sent
yesterday to Kendalls Mill to commence the
work of connecting the two lines. On Satur-
day night next after the last broad gauge train
passes over the road large crew OF wot knen
will be put on the fifty miles from kendalls
Mills to Bangor, and the work of changing
the gauge from broad TO narrow will be prose-
cuted with yigor through Saturday night aud
Sunday, until the track is ready for the first
train Monday morning. -Four or five men
will be put on to each mile. The spikes have
all been driven on the inside of the track, so
that the change can be made very rapidly.
Four engines heve been 'narrowed up in
Portland, ready to take their places upon the
road, and three new engines which have been
contracted for will soon be along. The new
baggage car building in this city, designed
for the through train, will probably be ready
on Saturday. The section men are all under
orders for Saturday night, and we may rea-
sonably hope to see the first through train
pass on Monday.

As there has been many flying rumors on
the street in regard to the condition Of Sena-
tor Morrill,, we have obtained from his attcnd-
ing physician, DR.. J. B. Bell of this city, a
true statement OF his case. He has not been
very well at any time since his return from
Washington, and had in August last an attack
similarto the present, which consists chiefly in
an inability of the stomach to retain any but the
simplest nourshment, and also to rise without
nausea, combined OF course with more or less
general debility He has been much better
several times, when slight errors OF diet have
produced a temporary aggrayaton. He IS
now steadily improving, but forbidden by his
phisician to engage himself with visitors or
correspondence, or anything that can aggru-
vate the gastric disturbance. He will doubt
less be fully well in a few weeks under this
treatment.
