Too Late.
Some are always too late, and there
fore. accomplish nothing through life
worth naming. If they promise to
meet you at an hour, they are never
present till thirty minutes after. MOI
matter how important the business is,
either to yourself OF to him, he is just
AS tardy. His dinner has been wait
ing for him so long that the cook is out
Of patience. This course, the character
we have described always pursued.
He is never in season ut church, ut Il
place Of business, ut his meals, or in
his bed. Persons of such habits we can
not but despise. Scores have lost Op-
portunites of making fortunes, receiv-
ing favors and obtaining husbands and
wives, by being few minutes too late.
Always speak in season, and be ready
at the appointed hour. We would not
give Il fly for man who is not pune
tual to his engagements, and who never
makes up his mind to a certain course
till the tilile is lost. Those who hang
back, hesitate and trembie-who are
never on hand for Il journey, Il trade, a
sweetheart, or anything else-are poor
slothS, and are ill-calculated to get a

We hear that the ex-Emperor Napo-
leon is keeping himself awake by writ
ing or debating frequent articles for his
London organ, the Situation. He is one
of the very ablest writer's living, and he
composes, with equal facility, in Eng
lish and French. His style is remark
able for its incisiveness, terseness and
vigor; and though several of the French
journalists tried to initiate it, they were
never able to acquire his peculiar lite
erary characteristics. When he was
Emperor, he frequently wrote asticles
for the Monitenr, but his favorite organ,
in later times, was the Petit Journal, a
cheap paper, which had an immense
circulation among the working classes
OF Paris. He not only wrote on politi-
cal matters, but on social and indus
trial questions, always taking care to /
show that the Empror was the particu-
sar friend OF the masses, and shat his
leas or projects were favorable to their I,
interests. Ifhe should ever find him. ,

cent living by writing for the papers.
What but suppressed sense OF humor,
