Napoleon's Marriages.

The marriages Of the Bonapartes
plays an important part in the story
of their fortunes, and none Of them
were so significant and important as
those of the Emperor. To one who,
like him, looked upon the world as
made for him, and upon laws merely
as something which were good for
him to impose upon others, it must
have appeared that his two wives were
admirably planned out for his use.
Josephine de Beauharnais was an
ideal wife for ayoung and rising man
of genius. She had everything which
would appeal to fancy like his, at
once selfish and passionate. She had
beauty, rank, the power of pleasing,
and a certain indolent grace that
promised an obedience reasonably
free from jealousy. Up to the time
that he mounted the imperial throne
and seated her by his side, she was
all that his narrow heart and bound
less ambition could desire. But af-
ter the marvellous victory of Wagram
had opened up to his fevered magma
ton still wider perspectives of domin-
ion, he looked for arotber style of
wife and fornd her in Maria Louisa
of Austri". He blonde beauty, form
ed of'p' TX and white color and roundly
curving lines and the GOLDEN floss of
a child's HAN, appealed strongly to
his jadeG taste. He W1s not old, but,

POPULAR VICES.

1t Is right and proper for min
listers of the gospel and editors of
religious newspapers to raise their
voices against the popular, fasci-
mating vices of the day, such as
drinking, gambling, horse-racing,
etc. 1t is absolutely necessary that
some restraining power should be
exercised over the world. We live
in fast age, and move rapidly in
whatever direction We travel. If
We are going wrong we get to the
bad with great deal of CELEBRITY
and promptness, unless checked by
some influence which appeals to
our sense of right and wrong.
There are vices which are con-
demned by public opinion, and if
man is addicted to them, he is shun-
ed by society and pointed out to the
very children as living specimen
of all that is loathsome in human
nature. 1t isn't so necessary for
preachers to preach against petty
or grand larceny, or burglary, or
house-burning, or murder. IF a
man is a murderer, (unless he has
killed some poor body.) wearing
fine clothes does not condone his
crimes. If he is notorious thief
unless he steals in popular way,
such as repudiating State debit,
the occupation of a pew in a
fashionable church, does not
cover up his iniquity. So
it is; society saves ministers
Of the Gospel the trouble of preach
ing against these vices. They are
unpopular and hence not engaged
in by persons who court popularity.
Gambling, horse-racing, drunk
enness, adultery and vices of sim
liar grade are more or less unpopu>
lar, unless man can engage in
them without being found out. AS
long as he can keep it from the pub
lie ear, or avoid making a scandal of
it, he may yield to temptation in
this line and meet with hearty res
ception in the amen corner of
many churches, especially if he
"eomes down" literally with the
contributions. Hence it becomes
absolutely necessary for the minis
tiers to cry aloud and spare not, and
most of them do it.
But there are other vices against
which they might be more pointed
in their denunciations, for they are
common if not popular. For in
stance, the vice of lying. There
are men who pass for number one
citizens, moral men-who think il
no wrong to tell lie in a trade in
order to make money out of an
other. They lie SO earnestly ant
fuently that no doubt they deceive
themselves sometimes. And theil
long purses and good clothes keel
them in repute with their Churches
and society generally, SO tina
it requires some courage fol
their pastors to stand up and tel
them, "Thou art the man

clergy in dealing with all the popu-
lar vices Of the day, when they
deal with them at all, but if they
would lay it on little heavier when
they speak of hypocrites, liars,
scoundrels, oppressors Of the poor,
etc., we could respond with a
hearty 'amen p'-equally as en-
phatic as when they deal with vices
less popular.

The appointment to the seat in
the United States Senate, made va
cant by the death of Senator Chan
dler, of Hon. Fernando G. Beaman
is another accession to the ranks of
those men who have had such an
abiding and controlling influence
over the destiny of the Union-the
self-made men" He is self
made man " in the very fullest sig
nifcance of the phrase. His father
died when he was quite young, and
left him very poor. His early Boy
hood was spent at the home of his
uncle, the father Of our townsman,
Mr.. 0. Beaman. When a youth,
by energy and perseverance, he was
enabled to attend the Malone
Academy, in Franklin county, New
York. While there he boarded
at the house of the mother Of Vice
President Wheeler, poor widow
lady. When he left school he went
into law office in his native town,
but finding no opportunity for the
expansion of his faculties and the
qualification of his ambition in the
East he left for Michigan, at that
time nearly a wilderness. On the
first night of his arrival there
everything he possessed in the
world was stolen from him, and he
found himself in a strange country
penniless and without friends. This
was an ominous omen, but, not dis
heartened, he went to work with a
will, entered a law Office once
more, received his license, and
finally built up for him
self large and lucrative practice.
He is one of the solid men of
Michigan, silent, Shut Woodworking.
He served in Congress all the time
of the war at the same time with his
whilom school and class-mate and
true friend, VIM. A. Wheeler, and
now goes into the Senate over
which this same school~mate at
Malone Academy, is the presiding
officer.
His life he has worked out with
his own hands. No helping and
fostering influences were thrown
around him, save those which worth
always finds. Honesty and hard
work have been the secrets of his
success, and his career affords a
striking example to the youth Of
the land and may serve to strength.
en- the efforts of some obscure
Daniel Webster or Henry Clay
who is now struggling with the
evils that poverty always bears il
her train. If this meets the eye Of
some one who feels within himself
the seeds of a nobler existence and
the STRINGS of higher ambition,
cen though his lot now is lowly, LEI
him reflect upon it and remember
that the levers that move America
have come mostly from the lower
classes, and be encouraged.
