Her last days as Empress of the French.

Her last days as Empress of the French.
Everything that the Empress possess
ed, with the exception of her jewels and
a few valuable miSSals, was left at the
Tuileries when she fed; and the jewels
would have been abandoned, too, had not
Mime. Carette, one Of Her Majestys ladies'
in-waiting, prevailed upon her after much
pleading, to have these treasures conhd-
ed to banker.
The Empress led a curious life during
her last days on the throne. She was up
every morning at o'clock, attired in a
black cashmere dress, which she wore
all day, with plain white collars and cuffs.
At 7:30 she heard mass in the private
chapel of the Tuileries by Mgr. Bauer,
her almoneF. Immediately alter this she
took a cup of chocolate with Nine Carette,
who, by the by, was one of the most re-
noWned court beauties and most charm
ing companion, ewing to her exquisite
eheerfulnesS. The Empress private
apartments were on the first floor of the
Pavilion de Flore, overlooking the gar
den and commandinga glorious view of
the Seine and Champs Elysees as far as
the Triumphal Arch. The room in which
she generally sat was circular saloon,
very gayly decorated with panels paint
ed by Charles Chaplin, and ilustl ating
the loves of a violet and rose. In this
room from o'clock In the morning till
long after the nominal hour for dinner,
which day after day was delayed, the
Empress received an uninterrupted flow
of visitors, and the confusion of those

were allowed to penetrate into her pres

Crackpated men bringingplans for new

A rOsy-cheeked, rollicking girl;
Her eyes were as bright as midsummer,
Her teeth were like pebbles OF pearl.

A handsome as ever l saw,
But donors quite frequently whispered:
Beware OF your mOther-in-laW."

Just out of the noise of the town,
And happy as orioles mated,
We settled COntentedly down.
And somehow il presently happened
That bundles and dainties l saw
Pass into the door of our kitchen.
Sweet gifts from my mother-in-law.

And icy ill-humOr would thaW,
When round rolling dollars would jingle
From the nand of my mOther-in-laW.

When snow mantled valley and hill,
The wife had cherished so tOndly

And l with two wee little children
Was left in the world all alone,
To long LOT a smile that had vanished,
To weep for face that had gone.

CHOOSING A PROFESSION.

Pages from the Autobiography of a Begging
Letter ImPosUOr's Son.
When I became eighteen years of age
my father, distinguished begging-letter
impostor, said to me: Reginald, think
it is time that you began to think about
choosing profession"
These were ominous words. Since I
left Eaton, nearly year before, l had
spent my time very pleasantly and very
idly, and was sorry to see my long holt
day drawing to a close. My father had
hoped to have sent me to Cambridge
Cambridge was tradition in our family
but business had been very depressed oil
late, and a sentence of six months hard
labor had considerably Strengthened my
poor fathers resources.

take you in hand and teach you my pro-

may take you into partnership, but, to be
candid with you, I doubt whether it is g

fellow like you"

ILLUSION.

Down ia the valley he thought, how grand
To stand on the mOuntain-peak,
To feel the four free winds of heaven,
Aud TO see the daylight break
The howeTy grass OF the meadOw-landsJ
The wealth of the waving crop,
He knew them safe, and rich, and fair,
But he lOnged for the mOunta1n-top.
What mystic shadows and depths were there,
What glory of color and lightl
He knew that his heart would never rest
II his feet had reached the height.
With painful care and a beating breast
He climbed the dangerous ground,
And stood at length on the mountaln-top,
With nothing his gaze to bound.
But the clouds were still as far above,
And alas the stony peak
Had never a Hover or blade OF grass;
TWAS cold, and barren, and bleak.
And far below was the valley sweet,
With its fields OF waving corn,
With its orchard trees and garden place,
And the house where he was born.
Thus from the valley of sweet Content
Ambition luIeth men to seek
The splendid lonely, barren place
That girdles Lies most lofty peak.
But oh for the pleasant valley home!
And happy the feet that daily pass
Through woodland ways and blowing corn,
And the long sweet orchard grass.

into a most uncomfortable position. AS

pretty young lady came up to me, and,
with a sweet smile on her face, looked
into mine with pair of lovely eyes. and
asked: 'Are you going to kiss me, sir ?'
If some one had offered to lend me $40
1 could not have been more surprised
and hardly knowing what to say, and in
order to gain little time, l gasped out,
Pardon, Miss, what did you ask?" 1
felt that she knew 1 heard her, but she
said sweetly, Are you going to kiss me,
to-night?' There was no misunder-
standing her this time. I heard her and
so did others. and 1 felt the blood rush
ing into my face, and stammered out,

l would truly; but have wife and thir-
teen small children on board with me,
and if my wife should see me kissing
you" 'Kissing me, you hateful old
thing! who asked you to kiss me ?' "You

You old fool, l asked you if you were
going to Kissime-Kissime City tonight;

went, and if ever anybody felt meaner
than did I would like to exchange
! photographs with him.

a BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

The weary sun was crawling
Down the Vests car aciOus throat,
The evening dew was falling,
Like q prOmissOry note.
While from the thousand chambered
Mansions of the burning West
Crimson splendOrs swept and clambered
Up the heavens throbbing breast.

Leaned against the window bars,
And watched the fOaming fire,

He looked in childish wonder.

a Female Ereemason.

The Hon. Elizabeth st. Leger was the
only female ever initiated into the an
Gent mystery of freemasonry. How she
obtained this honor we shall lay before
our readers. Lord Doneraile, Miss St.
I.eger's father, very Jealous mason, held
warrant, and occasionally opened
Lodge at Doneraile House, his sons and
some intimate friends assisting, and it is
said that never were the masonic duties
more rigidly performed than by them.
Previous to the initiation of gentleman
to the first degree of masonry, Miss st.
Leger, who was young girl, happened
to be in an apartmentadjoining the room
generally used as a lodge-roOm. This
room at the time was undergoing some
alteration. Amongst other things the
wall was considerably reduced in one
part. The young lady having heard the
voices of the freemasons, and prompted
by the curiosity natural to all TO see this
mystery, so long and so secretly locked
up from public view, she had the courage
to pick brick from the wall with her
scissors, and witnessed the ceremony
through the first two steps. Curiosity
satisfied, fear at once took possession of
her mind. There was no mode of escape
except through the very room in which
| the second step was being solemnized,
and that being at the far end and the
room very large one, she had resolution
enough to attempt escape that way; and
with light, but trembling steps, glided
along unO oserved, laid her hand on the
handle of the door, and gently opening
| it, before her stood, to her dismay, a
| grim and surly Tiler, with his long sword
lunsheathed. A shrek that pierced
through the apartment alarmed the
member of the lodge, who, all rushing
up to the door, and finding that Miss st
! Leger had been in the room during the
ceremony, in the first paroxysm of their
rage, her death was resolved on, but for
the moving supplication of her younger
brother, her life was saved on condition
of her going through the whole of the
solemn ceremony she had unlaW-
fully witnessed. This she consented
to- and they conducted the beautiful and
terrified young lady through those trials
which are sometimes more than enough
for masculine resolution, little thinking
! they were taking into the bosom of the
craft, member that would afterwards
reflect luster on the annals of Masonry.
! The lady was cousin to General Anthony
st. Leger, Governor of st. Lucia, who in
stituted the interesting race and the cele-
| brated DOnCaster of the st. Leger stakes.
Miss ST. Legermarried Richard Aldworth,
Esq, Of Newmarket. Whenever a benefit
was given at the theaters in Dublin or
Cork for the Masonic Female Orphan
| Asylum, she walked at the head of the
FreemasOns with her apron and other
insignia of FreemasOnry, and sat in the
front row of the stage box. The house
was always crowded on those occasions.
Her portrait is in the lodge room of al
most every lodge in Ireland.

A True Remedy.


New York Times.
There is precisely one cure for snoring,
and it is to Sir Humphry Davy that we
owe its discovery. That eminent
scientific person ascertained that snoring
is due to an abnormal vibration Of
the cords Of the larynx, and that this
vibration occurs only when the surface
of the larynx has become dry. A man
who sleeps with his mouth open until
his larynx has become dry by contact
with atmosphere is sure to snoBe. Sir
Humphry saw at once that in order to
cure the snorer his larynx must be kept
moistened or relaxed. He found by a Sc
ries of experiments upon a Methodist
preacher of unusual snoring powers that
a piece of CASTLE soap inserted in the
open mouth of the snorer effected an in
slant cure, and Warded off any further
attack of snoring, for at least twenty
four hours. Repeated application of soap
broke up the habit Of snoring, and thus
effected a permanent cure.
According to Sir Hun phry Davy, cas-
tile soap, which IS composed of olive oil
and soda, is decomposed the moment it
comes into contact with the human
tongue, which has a wonderful affinity
for oxygen. The olive oil, being thus set
free, lubricates and Ielaxes the larynx,
while the sodium is forcibly expelled In
the shape of strongl" alkaline language
by the snorer, who awake5 the moment
the decompositionof the soap begins. It
is seldom necessary to administer CASTLE
soap more than three or four times. and
the most obstinate case of snoring known
to medical men was cured with six
doses.
Ii might be remarked that almost any
variety of soap can be used with benefit
as a remedy for snoring. CASTLE soap is,
nevertheless much more rapid In its ac-
ton than any other variety, with the
solitary exception of soitsoap. The lat
ter, however, IS seldom found outside Of
farm-hOuses, and its administration pre-
sents certain difficulties which will hin
der it from ever becoming q popular
remedy.
