Napoleon's general manner was
brusque and abrupt, but when he tried
to please he could almost fascinate.
His conversation was full of strong
sense, and occasionally rich with origi-

He seldom said ANYTHING agreeable

day to the beautiful duchesse de Chev-

The Worlds First Wedding.

What a morning that was of the
worlds first wedding! Sky without a
cloud. Atmosphere without a chill.
Foliage without crumpled leaf.
Meadows without thorn. 1t shall be
in church-the great temple of the
world. sky-domed. -pillared
supplemented. The sparkling waters
of the Gihon and the Hiddekel will
make the fount of the temple. Larks,
robins and goldfinches will chant the
wedding march. Violet, lily and rose
burning incense in the morning sun.
Luxuriant vines sweeping their long
trails through the forest aisle-up-
holstery of Il spring morning. Wild
beasts standing outside the circle look
ing on, like family servants from the
back door gazing upon the nuptials;
the eagle, king of birds; the locust,
king of insects; the lion, king of beasts,
waiting. Carpet of grass like emerald
for the human pair to walk on. Hum
of excitement, as there always is be-
fore Il ceremony. Grass blades and
leaves whispering, and the birds a
chatter, each to his mate. Hush, all
the clouds. Hush. all the birds. Hush,
the waters, for the king of the human
race advances, and his bride. Perfect
man, leading to the altar perfect
woman. God, her father gives away
the bride, and angels are witnesses,
and tears of morning dew stand in the
blue eyes of the volets. And Adam
takes the round hand, that has never
been worn with work or stung with
pain, into his own stoat grasp and
says: This is now bone of my bone
and flesh of my flesh" Tumults of joy
break forth and all the trees of the
wood clap their hands, and all the gal
leries of the forest sound with carol
and chirp and chant, and the circle of
Edenic happiness is complete; for
while every quail hath answering quail,
and every fish answering fish, and
every fowl answering fowl and every
beast of the forest fit companion, at
last man, the immortal, has for mate,
woman, the immortal.

The young man, who was accustomed to
take rambles with companions told his
unclo and aunt one night that he was
going fishing from Leith carly the next
morning. No objection being made they
separated for the night. During her
sleep Mrs. GriGlths screamed: Tho boat
