NapOleOn's FOndness for Dress.


In the national songs of France, Ma
poleOn is the little corporal in the plain
gray coat but we may be sure that the
gray coat was carefully arranged, even as
the cooked hat was designedly worn in a
fashion till then unknown. And, as a
matter of fact, the emperor did not
always array himself in that sober
colored vesture which Mr.. Tennyson has
described as the symbolic robe of freedom.
An English traveller who visited Paris
during the brief interval of the peace of
Amiens, and was introduced to the first
consul, has left on record his astonish-
ment at seeing the great enemy of Eng
land in scarlet (richly laced, by the way,
with gold). 1t NAV interest some to
know that Napoleon set apart $500 a
year for dress. Unfortunately he had a
weakness for white kerseymere breeches;
and, being often wholly absorbed with
cares of state as cotrtly chroniclers
alphabetically Sbserve), he would con
stantly spill ink or gravy or coffee upon
the aforesaid garments, which he fastened
to change as soon as he perceived the
mishap.
This circumstance cost the blameless
but timid Comte de Remusat his place
as master of the robes. For the emperor
soiled his clothes, and especially bis
white breeches, so frequently and so
grievously that the imperial tailor M.
Leger) was constantly receiving fresh
orders, and $500 year became quite
insufficient to meet that functionaTy's
little bills. Now the Comte de RemUsat,
who knew that the emperor hated any
disorder in his accounts, was foolishly
afraid to speak to him on the subject.
Meanwhile. NJ. Leger became pressing in
his demands for payment. At first be
sent in his bill every month, then every
fortnight, then every week, then twice a
week, then every day; but the master of
the robes continued to return unsatis-
tory answers. At length NJ. Leger,
whose patience was exhausted, took the
bold step of complaining to the emperor
in Dorson, at the very moment that his
majesty was trying on a new uniform.
With astenishment aud anger Napoleon
learned that he owed his tailo. Ct 200.
The same day he paid the bill and dis
missed NJ. de Remusat from his post,
which was given to NJ. De Montesguiou-
Fezensac. chamberlain in the imperial
household. 81 hope, Monsieur le Comte,
said Napoleon, between q smile and

:. WHEN rHE TIDE GOES OUT

Through the weary day on his couch he lsy,
With life-tide eboing slowly away,
Aud the dew on his Geld hroT gathering fast,
While the pendulum numbered "mOmeOts passed
And heard low voice whispering. say:
'When the tide goes out he will pSss away.
Pray for souls serene release,
That weary soul may rest in peace
When the tide goes OUT
When the tide goes out from the se1- girt land,
1t bears strange freight from the cleaning sand,
he white-winged ships that silent wait
For favorIng wave and a wind that's late,
The treasures cast on rocky shore
From he straS Sded ships that shall sail no more,
And hopes that follow the shining seas
Oh the ocean wide shall win al these
When the tide goes out"
But, OIL all that drift from the shore to the sea,
is the human soul to eternity
Saddest, most solemn of ala soul
Passing where unknown waters roll.
Floating away from the silent shore,
Like fated ship to return no more
Where shall the surging currents tend,
Slowly dividing friend from friend,
90 " hen the tide goes out?"
For one partin, spirit pray, oh! pray,
While the tide of life is ehbing away,
That the soul may pass over summer seas
That clasped OF old the Hesperldes,
In a baTque whose sails, by angel hands,
Shall be furIed on r stIa and of golden sandsi
And the friends that stand on a silent shore,
Knowing that We shall return no more,
Shall wish US JOY of a voyage fair,
With calm sweet skies and favoring air,
when the tide goes out"

Loving Friends.

Never cast aside your friends If by any
possibility you can retain them. We are
the weakest of spendthrifts if we let one
drop oil through inattention, or let one
push away another, or if we hold alOof
from one through petty jealousy or heed
less slight or roughness. Would you
threw away diamond beause it pricked
you? One good friend is not to be
weighed against the jewels of the earth.
IL there is GOODNESS or unkindness be-
tween us, let US come face to face and
have it out. Quick. before the love
grows cold Life is too short to quarrel
in, or to carry black thoughts of friends
1t is easy to lose friend, but a new one
will not come for calling, nor make up
for the old one.

PIeVna Sights.

In the redoubts which the Russians
stormed, hundreds on hundreds of still
un1uried bodies lie the whole ridge of
wooded mountains, the valley beyond,
and the hill further on, where stand the
two redOubts overlooking the town taken
with terrible loss by General SkObeleh
on September 80. are strewn thickly
with the cerpses of Russians who fell on
these days. Some of these bodies have
been partly covered with four fpadesful
OF dirt, but most of them lie where they
fell. Not at all as they fell, for the dogs
have torn away the limbs of many, and
the birds of prey have peckt at the
skulls. In the pools of water lie cOrpses
half decayed; pale. witheTed hands and
feet stick out of the soil on all sides, and
horrible dead, mummifed faces stare at
one from every little hollow in the
ground, and from among every clump OF
bushes. Some of these bodies have been
put in graves within day or two, but
still the whole region is streWn thickly
with these dreadful mementOes of the
fight there nearly three months ago.
Around the redoubts the ground Is
furrowed and dug with the Thousands of
shells, and tons of pieces cover the earth.
It is interesting to observe how few
shells went into the redOubts. The
majority plunged into the ground just IN
front. The Turks built great transverses
across the redoubts, and under these dug
deep bomp-proof shelters, where they
were as safe from harm from shells as IN
Censtant tinople; but the whole surface Of
the hills is literally riddled with holes
large enough to bury horses in, and all
about lie great unexploded shells. Even
away back in the ravines where the
soldiers huts are, bullets, fragments oi
clothing, and equipments cover the
ground; and one frequently finds in the
most unexpected spots long-unburrieo
bodies, or sodden in the path one seet
