shall lBazaine, contrary to what IL
generally thought, is undergoing
real and severe detention. He Is
confined within the fort, and has
but the terrace on which to take his
walks. The rest of the island is
forbidden ground to him. He has
no garden at his disposal, wherein

the exception of few trees and p
bed of flowers which he cultivates
OH the terrace, Madame Bazaine
partakes her husbands exile. She
has permission to leave the fort
when she pleases, as we learn from
the London Times, as has also the
ex-Marshars aid-de-camp; but they
need a special permission from the
Secretary Of the Interiorto re-enter
the fort if they leave it. Hence,
Madame Bazaine stays as long in
the prison as possible. The view is
extensive only from the terrace,
whence the open sea may be dis
covered. There is not sufficient
water in the island, and Il small
boat which serves to communicate
with the coast, brings over the
quantity necessary. The ex.Mar.
shall at first suffered great deal
from this scarcity of water. he
was obliged TO reduce his baths in
order to water his plants. To rem
edy this, the aid-de-camp was dis
patched to Paris to ask that more
abundant supply might be brought
from the mainland, a request which
was at once granted, to the great
joy of the prisoner. Bazaine is
represented as leading very uni
form life. He reads much, works
all the morning. is taciturn, and
avoids company as much as posi-

partner. of your toll has q smile of
appreciation when others have de-
serted, hand of hope when all
Others refuse, and a heart to feel
your sorrows as if they were her
own. Perhaps a smiling cherub,
with prattling glee and joyous laugh
will drive sorrow from your care
worn brow, and enclose it in wreaths
Of domestic bliss. No matter how
humble that may be, how destitute
its stores, or how poorly its inmates
are clad, if true hearts dwell there
it is yet home. A cheerful, pru.
dent wife, obedient and affectionate
children, will give their possessors
more real joy than bags of gold and
worldly honors. The home of a
temperate, Industrious and honest
man, will be his greatest joy. He
comes to it weary and worn, but the
music of the merry laugh and the
happy voices of the children cheer.
A plain, but healthy meal awaits
him. Envy, ambition and strife,
have no place there, and with a
clear conscience he lays his weary
limbs down to rest in the bosom of
his family, under the protecting care
of the poor mans Friend.

GIRLS do not always know their
power. 1t is far greater than they
think. and, were they true and brave
enough to exert it, they might, al
most in generation, revolutionize
society about them. Exert your
power for good upon the young men
who are privileged to enjoy your
society. Gentle and good, be also
brave and true. Try to exhibit the
ideal of a woman-a pure and good
woman-whose life is mighty as
we'll as beautiful in it's maidenly
dignity and attractive loneliness.
DO not let it even seem that frivoli-
ty constitutes your only thoughts !;
but let the elevation of your char.
acter and usefulness of your life
lift up the man that walks by your
side. Some of you are in intimate
associations, which under exchang.
ed promises, look forward to a near
er and more enduring relation. In
these hours do nothing to low r
but everything to refine and emo.
BILE each others character.
