NAPOLEON'S RELIGION.
The Great Captains Constant &c mpanion
Was New Testament.


Nearly all the standard historians of
Bonaparte's life have referred to the in
terest which the great soldier always
manifested in discussions on religious
subjects, says M. V. Morse. There was
no theme-not even the science of war
itself-which engaged his genius in
warmer or more sincere interest. Our
own Emerson touch es delightfully."- this
feature of the warriors character.
Napoleon himself says he had studied
all religions. He had collected the
largest library of books relating to re-
ligions ever owned by any ruler. The
most conspicuous and most constantly
consulted of all his books was the New
Testament-this one of the few volumes
which he carried with him in all his
campaigns, and which was kept regu-
larly on his table for reference. The
book was to him source of abiding in
terest and delight, if not of deep spirit
ual consolation
His philosophy, if not his practice,
was based on its teachings, remarks the
Atlanta Constitution, and he was ever
ready to point a moral to ndorn tale
in some analogy from it's sublime pages.
He had the profoundest admiration for
the sermon on the mount, and on one
occasion he settled dispute by requir-
ing the contestants to read that sermon
in his presence. Once when he was
asked what was the really sublime he
responded instantly: "Read the Lord
Prayer"
Napoleon rarely failed TO quote the
authority and lessons of the New Tes,
lament when opportune occasion arose.
He was not only sincere believer in
Christ, but he had the profoundest rev.
erenee for his character. The sublime
solitariness of this mans genius is with
out any historical parallel. A king of
the kings of earth, there was no one to
whom he would acknowledge allegiance
to whom he would bow-save the God
and the Saviour Christ.
81 am monarch of Gods creation" /"
he said on one occasion, land l bow
only to Him and Jesus Christ"
He constantly referred to Christ as
''the Master" Once, when he had laid
his conquering hand upon the silver
shrines and statuary of q famous re-
ligious temple, he replied TO the impor-
tunities of the priests, who begged that
the ornaments be spared, by saying;
"No; let this silver be cast into coin
and let it go about in the world doing
| good, like the Master. Chicago News.

One afternoon in March, Lieut..
Schwatka was ordered to make detail
for picket duty, and as the Pawnee
scouts were doing nothing, 1t was
thought expedient to give them a turn
A sergeant took half a dozen OF them
with the regular guard, and having
placed the picket post, explained to the
Indian chief, as well as he could, that
he and his men would have two hours
on and four hours off duty until the
guard was relieved.
"Ill lend you my watch" said he to
the Pawnee, and striking a match, he
pointed to the dial Ttsnow o'clock
When the shorter hand moves two
points, your first watch will be re
lieved. Do you understand me?"
"Hey hey, goodl" answered the In
dian, and stallsed away on his rounds
The sergeant being fatigued, dropped
into fitful sleep by the watch-fire ot
the main guard. Suddenly he was
aroused by the Pawnee's hand.

geant
