The Match. Making Napoleon.

Napoleon could be liberal for his own
sake to those who could help him, al
WAYS on the condition of their absolute
subserviency. But he appars to have
been almost destitute of real generosity
of soul; he took a positive pleasure in
wounding sensitive natures, and he was
given to indulging in outbursts of bru-
tally which sometimes passed from
rough language into actual violence.
As for that matchmaking mania of his,
there are two instances among many
which are strikingly suggestive. One
was his actually proposing, after the di-
vorce from Josephine, that she should
bestow her hand on the Prince of Wur-
temburg, who, having come to Paris on
political business, had been greatly taken
by the fascinating Empress. Though
the proposal was certainly made, it
could scarcely have been serious; at all
events, the Prince would have had rea-
son to repent the match, for Napoleon
was in love with Josephine to the last,
and proved his capricious love by his
irritable jealousy.
In the second instance to which we

in style that reminds us of the Eastern
seraglio or the guard-room, and one of
the victims was no less a person than
Davoust. Napoleon suddenly announced
to his brother-in-law, General Leclerc,
that he Ueclerc) was appointed to the
command of the St. Domingo expedi-
ton, and must sail Immediately. Le-
clerc demonstrated against the hasty
departure. A sacred tie bound him to
trance. He had sister who would be
left alone in the world.
1--WE must have her married directly
tomorrow, for example"
"But have no fortune to give her,
cam I not here? Tomorrow your
sister shall be married. 1 don't know
exactly to whom"
Shortly afterward Davoust entered to
inform Napoleon that he was about to
be married.
"To Mile. Leclerc! find the match
very suitable
"No, General; with Nine. -''
"To Mile Leclerc."
And Davoust was, sent off to Nine.

ssGOOD LUCK'' AND tsPOOR LUCK. y

"C-a-t, cat; Cat, cat; Cat, cat.
These words were uttered by voice
in tiny, unfinished room in the pitch
of the roof. A small piece of tallow
candle spluttered and flared on the win
dow-sill, throwing strange shadows into
the dim corners and among the rafters
overhead. A young man in rough
clothes was in the room leaning over a
book held close to the candle. He was
spelling out the words slowly and pain
fully, over and over, Goat, cat; cat,
cat; bat, bat"
At last he heard the clock down stairs
give long w-h-i-r-r-r-r, and then begin
to strike. He looked up and counted
twelve. Then he closed the book, blew
out the candle, hastily threw off his
clothes, and was soon sound asleep be-
side his companion, Ned, who had been
already three hours in bed.
The sun had not yet risen when he
awoke. In moment he was up, and
dressed, and studying away again.
Hat, hat; hat, hat; and so on through
all the ats. Then he began again.
"Be you up, boysP" cried a rough
voice down stairs. "Come, hurry up
and git to work.
Ned rolled slowly over in bed, and
stretched his arms, and yawned.
"Oh, what a fool you be, Jack Lewis"
he drawled out in a sleepy tone. Don't
you git enough work without stickin'
over them books?'

out, but I'll be my own master in year
now. and the schoolmaster he's put an
idea or two into my head"
"Wel, you're fool. that's ALL" said
Ned.
A year had passed by. It was the
first day of school, and the children
were focking toward the little black
school-house. The teacher, who was
seated on high platform behind q desk,
wiped his glasses, raped on the desk,
and called the school to order.
He arranged the classes-frst the
scholars in advanced arithmetic and ge-
ography and history; then, q class in
decimals and grammar; and so on till he
came to the last.
'sAn those who have never studied
fractions, or grammar, or geography,
will rise," he said.
Five or six little girls. with long hair
and short dresses, and two small boys in
short pants, stood up. And one other
stood up, too. He was six feet tall, and
was clumsy and poorly dressed. 1t was
Jack.
The teacher looked down at him and
repeated what he had said.
"You misunderstood me-" he added.
"No, SIR" said Jack, firmly. II be-
long to this Glass;
Several of the children giggled. One
of the boys threw great spit-ball, that
struck him on the back of the head.
II can't help it, said Jack, with face
as red as fire. "This is the first chance
I've ever had to learn, and I'm a-going
to take it." And he sat down and was
soon studying away at an example add
2-5 to 3-5.
'.Baby boy!" cried one of the scholars
at recess.
"Spel fool" cried another.

HOW SIR WILLIAM KEPT HIS
PROMISE s

PROMISE
Sir william Napier, one bright day,
Was walking down the glen
A noble English soldier,
And the handsOmest Of men.
4. He slowly wandered down
To quiet Priesthood village,
By pleasant Bradford town.
With look and mien magnificent,
And step so grand, moved he.
And from his stately front OutShOne
Beauty and majesty.
About his strong. white forehead
The rich locks thronged and curled.
Above the splendor of his eyes,
That might command the world.
A sound Of bitter weeping
Came up to his quick ear,
He paused that instant, bending
His kingly head to hear.
Among the grass and daisies
Sat wretched little Joan,
And near her lay bowl of deli,
Broken upon stone.
Her cheeks were red with crying,
And her blue eyes dull and dim,
And she turned her pretty, woful face,
All tearstained, up to him.
Scarce six years old, and sobbing
In misery SO drear!
"Why, what's the matter, PosyY'
He said, "COme, tell me. dear"
"H's fathers bowl I've broken;
Twas for his dinner kept.
/ took it safe, but coming back
1t fen"-again she wept.
"But you can mend it, can't your
Cried the despairing child
With sudden hope, as down on her,
Like some kind god, he smiled.
"Don't cry, poor little Posy!
l cannot make it whole,
But can give you sixpence
To buy another bowl.
He sought IN vain for silver
In purse and pockets, too,
And found but golden guineas.
He pOndered what to do.
"This time tomorrow, Posy,"
He said, "again come here,
And will bring your sixpence.
Away went Joan rejoicing
A rescued child was she;
And home went good Sir William;
And to him presently
A footman brings letter,
And low before him bends;
- VIII not Sir Wllllam come ana dine
Tomorrow with his friendsY'
The letter read: "And we've secured
The man among all men
You wish to meet. He will be here.
You will not fail us thenY'
Tomorrow! Could he get to Bath
And dine with Dukes and Earls,
And back in time? That hour was pledged
1t was the little girls!
He could not disappOnt her,
He must his friends refuse.
So "A previous engagement"
He pleaded as excuse.
Next day when she, all eager,
Came DER the fields SO fair,
As sure as of the sunrise
That she should find him there,
He met her, and the sixpence
Laid in her little hand,
Her woe was ended, and her heart
The ightest in the land.
How would the stately company,
Who had SO much desired
His presence at their splendid feast
Have wondered and admired
As soldier, scholar, gentleman,
His praises oft are heard
Twas not the least of his great deeds
So to have kept his word!
-Celid ThGrtcr. in st. Nicholas.

the child. On reaching home, and ac

she refused to have it administered TO the

suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning home the day following the
father found the baby still worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he adj
ministered dose of the Soothing Syrup to
the child, and said nothing. That night all

mother was delighted with the sudden and
