l ASSEMBLING OF THE FRENCH CORPS LEaIs- 1AT1F.-La Liberte publishes the following ing account of the scene at the assembling of the Corps Legislatf, last week.
 At one o'clock groups formed before the hall, which grew greater at every moment, and soon after there were more than 10, ,O00 persons assembled. The people were calm and unarmed. There were, however, shouts from time to time of "A bas La Prusse!' and "Vive France!' Deputy Ferry, who appeared, was received with shouts, and commenced. an address, saying: 'Friends, be calm" At that moment Marshal Paraguay D D'Hilliers arrived. The officers of the national guard and others surrounded him. There were loud cries of ''Vive Changarnier" and "Vive France" the crowd increasing all the while, and shouts were heard of ''Vive Rochefort'' from electors of Belleville, who had come | to the scene to make demonstration in his favor At two o'clock, troops of the line ranged around the hall, as also a squadron of cavalry. They were received by the crowd there with the cries of "To the frontier! To the frontier!" Oircula- the hall, and the commissary of police made legal summons to the people to dis perse. The cavalry at once broke into a trot along the streets, and the crowd with drew, still shouting. At later hour de- tachment of grenadiers of the guard came up, led by general of division, and were received by the crowd with renewed shouts of, ''To the frontier"
 On the assembling of the Corps Legisia : tV, at two p. m., an order of the day direc : ted against the ministry was proposed by Deputy Clement du Verners and ado pted by large majority. Premier Oliver made a speech, which was several times interrup- ted, and marked dissatisfaction with the conduct of the war was openly expressed, Jules F avre demanding that the Chambers should at once assume direction of public affairs. A scene of great violence ensued between the members, Picard asking that the Chambers pronounce vote of censure against the ministers, and the members of the left continually demanding calls to or der. Finally Olivier, after great effort to make himself heard in confusion, said: --''Some of my colleagues ask me if I would have them shot," The Duke de Gra- mont exclaimed, ''They all ought to bel" At this expression, Deputy Estancelin rushed toward the Duke de Gramont, ,shak- ing his fist in his face. Deputy Ferry also left his seat and threatened the duke, and the members of the right rushed from their seats and interposed to restore order. The President put on his hat in the midst of the confusion and the session was tempora- rily suspended.

Once on a time. When Captain Den Stevens was landlord of the Clarke House Winsted. transient guest, who was lodg ing on the second floor, left his room late in the dark evening to saunter about the premises and Timber up his legs little be fore going to bed.. He walked ont on what he supposed to be balcony, over the front door, and the next thing he knew he lay in heap on the steps below. Being $ tall man, fortunately, and loosely hung to gether in his joints, he came down like an empty bag, with no great injury except te his sense of propriety. Gathering himself up, he walked in and said to the proprie tor with dignity: ''Mr. Stevens, think g railing around your balcony would add tt the general appearance of your otherwis. excellent hotel.''

within, only served to heighten the effect of the beauties without. The air was de- liciously mild. j Light breezes from the hills famed the blue waters of the lake, causing innumerable little wavelets which at intervals threw upwards their caps of foam, until as caught by the rays of the moon, here and there, wave seemed tip ped with slight but glittering crown of silvery light. To the south, and almost opposite, the moon, nearly at the full, threw a broad stream of light clear across the waters to the shore at the foot of the mead ow before the house, which seemed to offer us bright pathway over the lake into the dark shadows of the wood on the far shore. Here and there the huge forms of the hills, and the sentinel trees, tall and slight, were outlined in dark relief upon the watery mirror.

Last week the emigration to the port of New York was unusually small, evidently a result of the war in Europe Not more than one half the usual number of emil grants were landed at Castle Garden, the decrease being chiefly among the Germans, who are the most desirable of any national ity which is represented. So long as the present war lasts we may expect this state of things to continue, for the Germans are enthusiastic in favor of the war, and less inclined than usual to evade military duty.

A RH1NocERos ON THE RAMPAGE.-We learn from The Lake Village Times that while Bailey & Co.'s menagerie was exhib- tied at Ossipee, N. H., on the 26th, the huge rhinoceros attached to the show, 8 monster of full two tons' weight, manifested signs of unusual ferocity. On the close of the evening exhibition at Ossipee the pro- cession set out for Laconia, and by daylight when near Shellback Pond, a furious storm burst upon it. The thunder and light hing produced various emotions in the different beasts, arousing the rhinoceros so that his cage swayed about from the violence of his efforts to escape. The ter rified driver leaped from his seat, and, ln an instant after, the cage and it's occupant rolled down the bank into the very edge of the pond The train was instantly halted, and the elephants brought back from the front. The cage had landed upon it's side, and it's maddened and frightened in- mate made furious efforts to pry apart the iron bars with it's horn. They were too stout, even for him, and snort of pain, as the animal fell on his side, announced that his horn had become partially detached from the flesh, into which 1t grows like that of deer. The monster immediately became quiet, and the cage, with the aid of elephants, was quickly lighted. It was decided that the horn. being loose, could not be otherwise than an annoyance to its owner, and the latter, being then quite tractable, was securely confined with ropes. The veterinary surgeon connected with the establishment then entered the cage and removed the horn with few sharp cuts. Since then the rhinoceros has been one of the quietest animals in the whole collec- tion. ..f..f4

by any miserly man.. and with this the
pouting and chagrined lady left his pres
enee with q hook of vengeance that fore
bOded no good to the man who had put o
veto on her extravsgances. The enraged
beauty, on arriving home, Immediately had
her trunks packed. and, after ordering her
carriage. had placed thereon the aforesaid
trunks, and then taking her only child. 9
daughter of ten years, entered the vehicle
and was driven to her fathers mansion,
where she now remains. determined never
again to set foot in the house OF husband
who had deeply wounded her pride. The
husband cut up at the rash step his wife
has taken. and is deeply agonized to think
that his young daughter, whom he devoted
Iy idolized, has also deserted him at ber
mothers desire. He has offered all sorts
Of overtures to his wife to return with his
daugh ter, and has even consented TO give
her a carte blanche to purchase when
where and what she pleases. The wife
still remains firm to her resolve never
again to cross his threshold, and the daugh-
ter has also declared that she will never
leave her ma. How the affair will termin-
ate we are unable to decide. The wife's
father is rich and as stubborn as his
daughter. All be cares for in the mat
ter is the happiness of his daughter, and
if she consent to dissolve all alliance with
her husband, he will second her effort to
any extent. One thing is plainly evident,
the offending husband will have to bend his
knees in humility before he can ever hope
to effect reconciliation with his wife, OF
hear once more the merry laugh of his
winsome daughter.-Cinci'i7lafi Times.

The R,k-n of Youth.

Nv friend. thou sorrowest for thy golden prime,
For thv fair youthful years, too swift Of fight
Thou musest, with wet eyes, upon the time
OF cheerful hopes that filed the world with light
Years when thy heart bold, thy hand was strong
And quick the thought that moved thy tongue to
speak,
And willing faith vas thine and scorn Of wrong
Summoned the sudden crimson to thy cheek
Thou lookest forward on the coming days
shuddering TO feel their shadow DER thee creep;
A path, thick set with changes and decays,
slopes downward to the place OF common sleep.
And they who walked with thee in lifes first stage
Leave, one by enc, thy side, and, waiting near,
Thou seest the sal companions of thy Gge-
Dull love Of rest and weariuess, and fear.
Yet grfeve tto 4 81 nsz think Thy youth + gone
Thy pleasas - 50th it'll sNEhile Withdrawn, .
Waits on the horizon of a brighter sky;
Waits like the morn that folds her wing and hides
Till the slow stars bring back her dawning hour3 !
Waits like the vanished spring, that slumoering,
bides
Her own sweet time 10 wAken bud and flower.
There shalt e welcome thee when thou shalt stand
On His bright morning hills with smiles more
Than when at hrst He took thee by the hand,
Through the fair earth to lead thy tender feet
He shall bring back, but brighter, broader still,
Lffe's early glory TO thine eyes again;
Shall clothe thy spirit with new strength, and I'LL
Thy leaping heart with warmer love than then.
Hast ttou net glimpses, in the twilight here,
of mountains where immortal morn prevails?
Come there not through the silence, 10 thine ear
gentle rustlng Of the morning gales
A murmur waited from that glorious shore,
OF streams that water banks 70 ever fair,
And voices Of the loved ones gone before,
More musical IN that celestial arr?

house; her bonnet and shawl were all ready /;
she said, trembling, Il should ike 10 &c

offers of peace we're not despised.
Day by day she sought and made little
opportunities to show good will !. not re-

great wonder was that her own sense of
wrong had vanished she found herself
beginning to think first of his comfort and
convenience; to consider his interests, and
to feel real pain when the children incom-
moded him in any way
Early in the autumn Harry was taken

the second day, before Susan had realized
that it was anything serious, their doctor
came In, saying, Your husband came

a fash, that she had not wanted a doctor

her sick enough. Harrys symptoms grew
more and more alarming. and as his moth
er wondered to herself if she could stay
with him alone, her good Mrs. Marshall
walked in. Mr.. Powers had found her
out and sent her. Susan understood why
he held back from any part in the nurs-
ing, and felt that she should do the same
in his place. But that very night he said
to Mrs. Marshall, You must 60 to bed !;

as she saw the boy carried in her hus-

his baby had been what should l have

The last distinct words that Harry spoke

piece of marble set aside for Susan's judg-
ment, and the two little blocks were of the
same fine, pure vein. In whisper, as
they waited to give the final order, her
husband said, The baby had no name, but

And thus it was.
