Napoleon's Savagery.

Madame de Bourrienne. speaking of
the character of Bonapaate, as it dis
played itself in the early part Of his
career, says:
.'His smile was hypocritical and Of
ten misplaced A few days after his
return from Toulon. he was telling us
that, being before that place. where he
commanded the artillery during the
siege. one of his officers was visited by
his wife, to whom he had been but a
short time married. and whom he ten.
derby loved. A few days after, orders
were given for another attack upon the
town, in which this officer was engae-
ed. His wife came to Gen. Bonaparte,
and, with tears in her eyes, entreated
him to dispense with her husbands
services during that day. The general
was memorable, as he himself told us,
with sort of savage exultation. The
moment OF the attack. the officer,
though very brave man, as Bonaparte
himself assured us, felt presentiment
Of his approaching death. He turned
pale and trembled. He was stationed
beside the general, and, during an in
terval, when the firing from the town
was very strong, Bonaparte called out
to him, Take care, there Is a bomb
she'll comingH The officer, instead of
moving to one side. stopped down. and
was literally severed in two. Bonaparte
laughed loudly. while no described the
event with horrible minutenass.

A Dude AT the Oar.

Last Tuesday, while five Of the Pion-
eer club six-oared crew were sitting in
their shell and swearing vigorously at
the non-sppearance of the sixth man,
who was half an hour late, we'll
dressed. and modest young stranger
strolled into the boat-house and began
inspecting the equipments with great
interest.
"I'll tell you what we'll do, fellows"
said the stroke, AS No 4 isn't coming,
suppose We coax that dude to take a
row and bust him all upp"
The preparation of this me-honor-
cd Joke upon "softy" was received
with appreciation. and the newcomer
was. with grand show of hospitality,
invited to take the vacant oar.
"Well, don't know, gentlemen,
said the young man. looking at his
watch, doubtfully, "rm a stranger
here. l do need little exercise,
though"
"Oh. get in," said No. 2, winking at
his companions: "a little spin will do
you good" and they finally persuaded
the victim of their kindly scheme to
take off his coat and assume club
cap.
"Now. keep your eye on me and try
to keep tme," remarked the captain.
You'll never, never make an oarman
unless you watch the stroke"
.Ill do the best l can, gentlemen,
said the guest meekly. I'm always
willing to improve"
The boat went down toward Hunters
Point, a couple of miles, at an easy.
three-quarter stroke, the newcomer
pulling away mantully with the rest,
and when they eased off TO turn back
they were surprised to observe that the
stranger did not appear to BIO quite so
much blown as they expected.
'Now, then; young feller," said the
stroke, with grin, "try and keep up
with the procession. Hit her up. boys.
Hard allI'
But somehow the stranger stretched
along with the rest, and though the
pace was something like forty. six as
they passed Butchertown, the victim
serenely sawed away, and the bowman
even imagined that he slashed less than
any oar In the boat When they finally
drew up In the float, and while the crew
were painting for wind, splitting cotton
and wiping their dripping faces, the
passenger" looked around, with a
childlike smile upon his unfinished face,
and softly remarked:

"Spurt HI" painted the stroke.

i Pale, Poor, Puny and PalIld.

Considering all the ills that attack
little children, it is a wonder that
any Of the poor little youngsters
live to grow up.
There are children who are truly
objects ofpity.. They seem almost
bloodless., Their cheeks are thin
and pinched; their eyes are hollow;
and their skin is tightly drawn
over their foreheads. There is
nothing hearty about them. They
do not enjoy their lives. They are
suffering from the debility that
leads to marasmus. Poor things
Do a good deed for the pale,
poor, puny, pallid child. Hand its
mother a. bottle of Byown's Iron
BiHers. Here is life even for the
most delicate, the most debilitated;
for the child almost given up for
dead. Iron in the blood is what the
child needs to bring it up. The
little digestive apparatus will re-
cover. The pale cheeks will fill out.
The weary groan Of the child will be
exchanged for the merry prattle Of
infantile gladness. Your druggist will
tell YOU what wonders Byv1vn's Inns
Bita7y has done for very sick children.
