Some time before the death of his
father, Gen. Marbeuf had married, and
the pecuniary supplies to his boy friend
seem after that event to have stopped.
Nine de Buonaparte was left with four
infant children; the youngest, jerome
but three months old. Their great
uncle, Lucien the archdeacon, was
kind, and Joseph, abandoning all his
ambitions, returned to be, if possible,
the support of the family Napoleon's
poverty was therefore no longer rela-
tive or imaginary, but real and hard.
Drawing more closely than ever within
himself, he became still more ardent
reader and student, devoting himself
with an industry akin to passion to the
works of Rousseau, the poison of whose
political doctrines instilled itself with
fiery aud grateful stings into the thin,
cold blood of the unhappy cadet.-Prof.

A GREAT DIVIDING LINE.
srbe SSesert Strip Which Separates Europe
y and Asia.

Between MesopOtama, where the
swarming human race reared its tower
of Babel, and the western plains of
Hindustan, with their teeming popula-
tion-in some parts two thousand or
more souls to the square mica trans
verse zone, containing less than two
inhabitants to the same surface runs
from north to south between the Gulf
of Oman and the icy Arctic sea. This
almost uninhabited zone begins just
west of the plains of the Lower Indus
and it's frontier mountains, in the des-
ert tracks of southern Beloochistan,
scattered with rare oases Between
India and Afghanistan it stretches
north and northeast along the rugged
escarpments Of the Suleiman Dagh and
other ranges, whose hidden basips and
narrow gOrges give shelter to mountain
tribes living far from the haunts of
other men, except when the martial
fury seizes them and brings them to
blows with their neighbors of the lower
table land or the plains.
To the northwest of Hindustan the
folds of the soil become deeper and
more numerous, sharply dividing the
world with their countless walls. The
high SUBMITS of the fiindu-Koosh. in
ferior only to those of the Ilimalaya of
Nepaul, tower above these ridges and
spread their glaciers to enormous dis
tances. Beyond these, again the inn
mense mass of almost impossible high
lands which have been called the Roof
of the World" continue the line of de-
markation very effectually between
Hindu-KoOsh and Thian-Shan, and the
ill-watered adjacent plains broaden at
many points the median zone of separ-
ton between east and west.
Finally further north, in the great
~ y i-Ss2iG11 depression, the salt borders of
LaFN Balkash and the barren reaches
of Semipalatinsk and the Hungry
Steppe" stretch between the Obi and
the Yenisel along band of thinly-in-
habited country which loses itself in
the frozen tundras. The researches of
Gmelin and other naturalists have es-
tablished the fact that the true separa-
ton between Europe and Asia lies
here. in these low and arid regions,
and not along the green heights of the
Ural mountains. -Elisee Reclus. in

Until the honest photo" told

AS our hearts chill at barbarous tales,
We will not look, We will not bark,

We know our hope has broken wing,
We know we shall not miss the world;
But all is nothing to the sting
The old lines bringl
Yet, after all, when once We bow
Submissive to the iron fact,
We find that life can, even now,

That shimmers on our Whitening head;
