Again I sit within the mansion
In the old family seat,
And shade and sunshine chase each other
Ger the carpet at my feet.
But the sweet -briar's arms have wrestled upwsr'
In the summers that are past,
And the willow trails its branches lower
Than when saw them last.
And stili her footsteps IN the passage,
Her bushes At the door,
Her timid words Of maiden welcome
Como back to me once more.
And. sIl forgstiul Of my sorrow,
Unnindful Of my pain,
mimi she has but newly left me,
And soon will come sgain.
She stays without, perchsnce, moment,
To dress her dark brown hair
hear the rustic OF her garments,
Her light step on the stair
O nuttering heart control thy tumult,
Lest eyes profsne should zee
My cheeks betray the rush OF rapture
Her coming brings TO me!
She tsrries long but 10 whisper
Beyond the open coor
Ard gliding through the'qaiet sunshine
shadow on the floor
All It's the whispering pine that calls me,
The vius, whose .hsdov strtys;
AND my patient heart must still await nsr,
Nor chide her long delays.
But my heart grows sick with weary waiting,
as many time before;
Her foot 1, ever at the threshold,
Yet never passes DER.

PRINCELY RANK.

Jerome, the husband of Madame
Bonaparte, lived until the period Of the
fullest splendor of the second empire.
and, although the Pope never leglti-
matized bis second marriage by grant
ing a divorce from the first, his three
children were of princely rank. an
one o them visited the United Safes
about the time of the outbreak I the
late war, with his wife ,tt'uaugnter OF
the King Oh Italy. He was treated
with great consideration, but paid no
attention TO the lawful wife, who lived
in Sc clusion in Baltimore. Madame
Bonaparte, although inherltins only a
small portion Of her fathers great
wealth, became rich by successful in
vcstments and BY lifelong habits of
economy.

A REMARKABLY LIFE.

The death OF Madame Bonaparte
closes career of peculiar and mourn
full interest. 1t really removes from
the world one Of the most remarka bic
of American women. The life which
has Just ended was in itself historical
romance, and had been 30 linked with
lives which were at enc time more con
splcuous in the wars and politics ofthe
old world than any which had preceded

MEMOIRS, ETC.

For years she lived at boarding
house in Baltimore, seeing very litCle
company. She retained up to late
period of her life the vivacty and vigor
of her intellect, though the remarkable
beauty OF her youth had long since dis
appeared. For fifty years, it is said,
she kept diary, in which she recorded
her observations of European and
AmercaE society. Some OF her re-
marks are severely sarcastic. A we'll
known publishing house, it is said, Off
cred her a few years ago ten thousand
dollars tor the manuscript volumes. but
she refused TO sell them at any price,
and has committed them to the custody
of her younger grandson, Charles
Joseph, a well known member OF the
Baltimore bar. 1t has been expected
that they would be published after her
death. The ruling passion OF this re-
markablc woman's life seems TO have
been to regain her rights in behalf o
her grandson, and she is believed to
have studiously economical that heI
great wealth might add to lis chances
for the crown. When we remember
the extraordinary events that have hap
pened in the family whose name he
bears, nothing would seem impossible,
for, after all the ambitious marriage:
contracted by the brothers of Napo
leon, the grandsons of Madame Bona
parte are the only scions whose Bona
: parte blood is unqucstOnable.

"REMINISCENCES.

In his will Madame Bonaparte's
father made but small provision for her,
though he left her some houses and his
cellar of wine, along with the reproof
that her folly and misconduct had cost
him much money. On the birth OF her
child Jerome had sent her 1000 gum

Another son, Charles Joseph, was born

United States army, was appointed sub
lieutenant in the French army, and
proceeded at once to the Crimea, where

AND SUFFERING.

ROMANCE AND SUFFERING
A halo of romance, poetry and suffer-
ing was about her. Besides her strength
of character, her wit, beauty and accom-
plishments would have graced any
circumstances or rank. She had the
satisfaction of seeing her arch enemy,
Napoleon. hurled from his throne and
imprisoned at st. Helena. After his
downfall she visited Europe and remain
ed there seyen years. She spent sever
al years at FlOreuce, where occurred
the accidental meeting with Jerome,
above referred to. Her fascinating
manners, extraordinary beauty and
romantic history made her admired and
celebrated all over the continent.
