of thread, or who rewound yards upon
yards of lIamburgs and other decora-

creatures had examined with a thor
oughress known only to the feminine
mind.
Mr.. Podd cherished intentions, which,
if rightly matured, as they certainly
would be in the course Of human events,
would give to his existence that couleur
de rose which the poets affirm consti-
tutes earthly felicity,
Mr.. Podd's intentions were of a matri-
monial nature.
He loved.
In this case the sentiment was a
species of mild insanity that often at
tacks young men of a marriagable age
and IN interchangeable salary, and Mr..
Podd exhibited many Of the symptoms
in an aggravated form.
He took in two or three extra squares
each day in walking to and from his
place of business that he might pass
the abode which sheltered the idol of
his soul, and, perchance, be rewarded
by a smile, or bow of recognition from
the fair occupant.
The fair being who thus agitated the
placidity of Mr.. Podd's existence was

spelled it Smith in bygone days.

whose small income was obtained by

In public, one was led to regret that a

and when she referred to ''our resi-,

FLIGHT OF THE BONAPARTES.
Able to Turn Exile to Advantage by Easy
Morality.

Able to Turn Exile to Advantage by Easy
Morality.
After the last tiasco before the cita-
del of Ajaceio, the situation of the
Buonapartes was ~momentarily desper-
ate. Salicetti had arranged for his
own return to Paris, where he would
be safe. Napoleon felt that fight was
the only resort for him and his. Ac-
cordingly, on June II, three days ear
lier than his patron, he and Joseph, ac-
companied by Fesch, embarked with
their mother and the remainder of the
family, to join Lucien, who had re.
manned at Toulon. The Jacobins of
that city had received Lucien, as a
Corsican sympathizer, with honor,
Doubtless his family, homeless and des-
titute for their devotion to the repub-
lie, would find encouragement and help
until some favorable turn in affairs
should restore their country to France,
and reinstate them not only in their
old possessions, but in such new digni-
ties as would fifty reward their long
and painful devotion. Such, at least,
appears to have been Napoleon's gem
eral idea. He was provided with II
legal certificate that his family was one
of Importance and the richest in the
department. The convention had prom
Used compensation to those who suffered
such losses.
AS had been hoped, on their arrival
the Buouapartes had been treated with
every mark of distinction, and ample
provision was made for their comfort.
BY act of the convention, women and
old men in such circumstances received
seventy-fve francs q month, infants,
forty-tive francs. Lads received simply
a present of twenty-five francs. With
the preliminary payment Of one hun
dred and fifty francs, which they
promptly received, the Buonapartes
were better off than they had been at
home.
Lucien had appropriated Napoleon's
certificate of birth, in order to appear
older than he was, and having now de-
veloped into a fluent demagogue, was
soon earning a small salary in the com
missary department Of the army.
Fesch also found a comfortable berth
in the same department. Joseph
calmly displayed Napoleon's commits
sion in the national guards as his own
and received a higher place with i
better salary. The sovereignty Of the
convention was everywhere acknowl
edged, their revolutionary courts were
established far and wide, and their lie
cations, clothed with dictatorial power
were acknowledged in every camp o
the land as supreme, superior even t.
