The Whims Of Josephine.

The Empress Josephine had $12 0 900
for her personal expenses, but this sum
was not sufficient, and her debts in
creased in an appalling degree. Notwith-
standing the position of her husband, she
could never submit to either order or Ell
quette in her private life. She rose at 9
O'Clock. Her toilet consumed much time,
and she lavishad unwearied efforts on the
preservation and establishment OF her
person. She changed her linen three
times day, and never wore any stockings
that were not new. Huge baskets were
brought. to her containing different dress
es, shawls and hats. From these she Sc
lected her costume for the day. She pos
sessed between 800 and 400 shawls, and
always wore one in the morning, which
she draped about her shoulders with une-
qualed grace. She purchased all that were
brought to her, no matter at what price,
The evening toilet was as careful as that
of the morning; then she appeared with
flowers. pearls or precious stones in her
hair. The smallest assembly was always
an occasion for her to order new CO.'S
tune, in spite of the boards Of dresses in
the various palaces. Bonaparte was irri-
tated by these expenditures; he would fly
into passion. and mis- wife would weep
and premise to be more prudent, after
which she would go on in the same way.
1t is almost incredible that this passion
for dress should never have exhausted it.

self with the same care, even when she
saw no one. She died covered with RIB
bons and pale, rose-colored satin.

Richmond Central Presbuteri0n

/ Richmond Central Presbyterian.
Our correspondent criticises the refer
ence we made to the Alexanders, the
, Hodges, the Hoges, the Browns. the
! Smiths. the Lacys, the SCOTS, the Frier-
/ sons, etc. He says (among other things):
] ''Of all the Browns only one of them has a
son in the ministry. There are only two
of the Hoges and two of the Witherspoons
There are only two Lacys. -. I believe
that each of the two Smiths has son in
the ministry, but that is ALL"
Our correspondent is vide, very wide of
, the mark. His statements, were they lit
orally true, make thoroughly incorrect
impression.
Take the Browns The Rev, Samuel
Brown preached four generations ago in
the New Providence church, Lexington
Pre- sbytery. He had five sons in the min
istry: to-wit, Rev. James M. Brown, Rev.
Henry Brown, Rev. Samuel Brown. Rev.
Joseph Brown and Rev. DR.. William
Brown Qate editor of this paper.) In the
, next (third) generation we have the Rev.
Samuel H. Brown, OF Greenbrier county,
W. Va, son of the Rev. James M. Brown;
Rev. John G. Brown. Kanawha Salines,
!. son of Rev. James M. Brown; and Rev.
J.. Morrison Brown (Maryland), son of
; Rev. Henry Brown. Two daughters of
! this generation married. respectively, the
Rev. DIR. B. M. Smith and the Rev. DR.. r.
L. Dabney. We then reach the fourth
generation, and here we have Rev. P. P.
Flournoy, Rev. J. W. Rosebro, and Rev.
John A. Preston, who married three
daughters of Rev. B. M. Smith, and also
the Rev. VIM. M. McPheeters who mar
ried granddaughter of Rev. James Nor
rison (whO married daughter of the first
Samuel Brown.
In the Ioge family-we have the Rev.
DR.. Moses Hoge, President of Hampden
Sidney, who had three sons in the minis
try; to wit, Rev. James Hoge. Rev.
Samuel D. Hoge. and Rev. John Blair
Hoge. The Rev. Samuel D. Hoge had two
sons in the minstry-Rev. DR.. Moses D
Hoge and Rev. William J. Hoge. The
Rev. William J. Hoge was the father of
the Rev. Peyton H. Hcge. of the Fourth
Presbyterian church in this city.
As to the Smith families, there are
three of them that we know the Rev. J..
Henry Smith, of Greensboro. N. c., has a
son in the ministry, the Rev. Samuel
Smith.
The "pedigree'' of the Rev. B. M.
Smith IS family was published in the Gen.
tral Presbyterian of December. 18th. 1879.
It is one of the most remarkable on record
for the number of ministers.
The Rev. James P. Smith, of Fredericks-
burg, is the son of the Rev. DR.. Joseph
Smith, who was the son of the Rev. David
Smith. one of the earliest ministers of
Pennsyls,ania. This issS81siamily of the
late Mrs. William Brown. whose memory
is in all the churches. The Rev. DR.. Joseph
Smith (her father) had five uncles who
were ministers, and two aunts who mar
ried ministers.
We could give similar record about
the Lacy's. but our space fails us.

Sunrise by the Sea.

A waning of the golden lamps,
In heavens eternal DOME,
A pllmmer on the dusky sands
(Gnost-like creeps up the foam);
A blended hue above the waves
The lily and the rose
A fieecy cloud Of dappled bloom,
Like that the pansy shows;
A tinge the morl ing-gory wears,
With pearly dew-drcps vet;
A blush as of the columbine,
A tint OF violet:
And ever in the Frightening sky,
Some changing splendor born.
Till leaf by leaf, a perfect flower.
Unfolds the bud of morn.
