NELAToN's MosT FAMOUS OPERATION -.
Times correspondent writes from Paris PEI

In 1865 the young Prince Imperial took fan

close along the wall, and seemed to take Sc
much pleasure in it that all remorstranct
about its danger was in vain. AT last the pony
went 80 close that the Prince had his leg bad

this habit, and had ordered him to discontinue
it, and hence the Prince was afraid to confess
that he was hurt. lie bore up brayely for a
day or two, although in great pain, but Mt
length limpcd SO much that attention was call

he was confined to his bed. Nelaton was sent
for and stated that an abscess had been form

TO his son, pet him, embrace him. and lavish
upon him his strong affection. As the doctor
prepared to make his puncture, Napoleon
caught his hand and shuddered as If the bis

Nelaton pushed him brusqucly away, and he
went to the window again, but was immedi-
ately called back by cry. Seeing that moth

peror began to abuse the surgeon, and for q
moment used some very strong language.

A stream of puss flowed from the wound, and

"Therc is yet something to be donc,' said
Nelaton, tearing himself loose, and not yer,

There is nothing SO nice as having goo'
porch in front of your house, unless, indeed
it is having the porch built Mr. Hiram
Higginbottam, of Monsoon street, has just go
a new porch completed. 1t is a small affair
not over ten feet long, but it took seven weeks
to build It. Tho first week a carpenter came
to the house, climbed over the fence, set his
tool-box down ona fine moss rosebusl, and
solemnly made some measurements, put some
marks on the house, and went away. No
body came for week, when another carpell-
ter came up with pair Of trcstles and an
armful Of saws and things. lie carried his
trestles in the front hall, hung his saws on the
hat-rack, looked vacantly around, and mys-
teriously disappeared. That evening Mrs.
Higginbottam rather snappishly asked Mr.. II.
if he intended to get the men to work on that
porch. lie sighed gloomily, and said they
would get started about next week. Along
towards the middle Of the week third car
penter came up, jerked down the saws, planted
the trestles in the middle of the oldest Miss
Higginbottam's verbena bed, and began to
saw furiously. Two or three days after a
laborer came and dug place for the masons
to lay the wall, and threw dirt all over the
gravel walk, and then n man came and
empticd n cart-load of bricks on the tulip bed.
Then the masons came and threw mortar all
over that part Of the township getting little
That was the only safe place. Finally the
lumber of the porch arrived and was hurled
madly over the fence, blotting out the last
traces of n flower-gartlen in the front yard,
and sending the grass plat into partial
eclipse. Then there was business. The en-
tire yard was two feet deep in shavings and
saw-dust, and eight-pcnny nails permeated
/ the very hash. One morning Mr.. Higgin-
bottam opened the front door, and was i'm
mediately afterwards disagreeably surprised
to learn that short ladder was leaning
against that door, with a carpenter and tool
box on the top round. Nobody seemed to en-
joy tho consequent incident SO much rs the
tool-box. The carpenter and Mr.. Higginbot-
tam held a brief conversation, in which their
remarks, thought fitful, were earnest, and ap-
peared to have reference to the Copperas
Greek dam, or some other dam, and Mr.. H.
went down to his Office shaking chisels bits
gouges strat-edges and nails of various de-
nominations out of his hair and sleeves. The
porch is done now. One day the carpenters
scraped up everything portable about the
premises and slid away The porch stands a

A Jealous Christian gentleman, travelling by
railroad, addressed some pious remark to q

by an iniidcl reply. This led to an AMI

Mrs. Streeter rose YEARLY, laid her sleeping
babe carefully in its crib, and proceeded to re-

POETRY.
(oRIGIS.AL)
an AUrUMNAL REQUIEM.

Ocr-arched by grey September skies
The valley like golden howl
Frost-whitened with silver rim,
Ripe Autumn on the flowing brm,
Sweet Summer in its chalice dies.
The August heats still haunt the noon,
November winds the chilly eve,
Julys rich glory on the leaves
Octobers gold among the sheaves,
Junc's orient simmer in the noon.
Through fading leaves the chestnuts fall,
Adown the gale the thistle flies,
The great brown shocks of ripencd corn,
stand rustling in the breeze OF MORN
The fox-grape ripens on the wall.
We gather by our hcarths tonight,
Two broken circles round the fire,
The red blaze leaps within the crate,
But in thy face, Oh Darling Kate,
No more we see thy life; thy light.
No more in all the winters gloom,
No more in all the Summer gay,
No more in all the Spring time hours,
When nature decks herself with flowers,
VIII that sweet flower renew its bloom.
But where the seasons know no change,
No vcrnal showers-No Autumn FROST
No shifting scene from leaf TO fall,
But where the Lord is Lord of ALL
Her gentle spirit finds its range
The doors are shut the air is chill,
We sit in silence round the rom,
In quiet heart-talk, each to each,
Yet every accent of our speech
Is full of her dear melnrv still.

Come list to a song for the Harvest;
Thanksgiving and honor and praise
For all that the bouniful Giver
Hath given to gladden. our days.
For the grain and the corn in their plenty,
For the grapes that were gathered with song,
For pumpkins so brave with their yellow,
They have lived upon sunbeams so long
For cranbcrrcs down in tho meadow,
And the uckwheat that famed ON the hill,
And bluebcrries tempting the children
To wander and pick them at will.
For the peaches that BLUSH through their parlor,
Or glow like pretty quadroon,
AS they dream OF the sun in the morning,
Or welcome his kisses at noon.
For tho sweet smelling hay and the clover,
That sweeten the breath of the king;
And the apples that fingered. drcading
The air and the light to resign.
And not from the fruit harvest only
We offer our thanks and our praise;
Not less have the leaves and the blossoms
Made brighter and better the days.
The leaves that delight with their gr,cnncss,
That soften the heat with their shade
And nestle so crisply in autumn,
TO startle the lover and maid.
For the blossoms that whitcn the May-time
The ground, AS with SNOW, as they fall;
For the lowcrets that whisper their meanings
j, In cottage and howell and hall.
Ave thanks for the harvest of Beauty,
For that which the lmnd cannot hold
The harvest eyes only gather
Which only our hearts can enfod!
We have reapcd it on mountain and moorland;
We have cleaned it from meadow and sea-
We have garncred it from the cloud land;
We have bound 1t In sheaves from the sea-
