NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA.

His hair of a brown-black, thin on
the forehead, cropped but not thin in
the neck, and rather dirty look; light
blue or gray eyes, a capacious fore
head; high nose; short upper lip; good,
white, even teeth, but small Che race-
ly showed them); round chin; the low
er part of his face very full; pale COM
plexion; particularly short neck. 9th
erwise his figure appeared well propoc-
toned, but had become too fat; 4
thick, short hand, with taper fingers
and beautiful nails, and a well-shaped
leg and foot. He was dressed In an
old threadbare green coat, with green
velvet collar and cuffs; silver buttons,
with a beast engraven upon them; his
habit dechasse Git was buttoned close
to the neck); a silver star of the Lee
'gion of Honor; white waistcoat and
breeches; white silk stockings and
shoes with oval gold buckles. She
was struck with the kindness of his
expression, so contrary TO the fierce
ness she had expected. She saw no
trace of great ability; his countenance-
seemed rather to indicate goodness; at
a second interview she remarked that
it would change with his humor.--

1T must be-" she repeated; you
cannot prevent it. You must nave
been singularly devoid Of penetration
and knowledge not to know from the
first that it must be decided against
you; that no minor can marry with
out the consent Of his parents. A wise
law it is, too; there would soon be an
end to the aristocracy of England of
every hOt-headed, foolish boy of nine
teen could marry without the consent
of his parents or guardian"
If his antagonist had been a man,
there would have been hot, angry
words, perhaps blows; as it was, to a
lady, anu tnat lady his mother, he
could say nothing. He sunk back with
a white face and clinched hands; lis
mother resolutely stified all pity, and
went On, in her clear voice:
"The law has decided for us against
you; you know now the truth If you
nave any respect for that unfortunate
girl, you will not see her again; she
is not your wife, she is not married
to you. [ need not speak more plain
ly; you know what relationship she
will hold to you if you do not leave
her at once"
The handsome face had in these five
minutes grown quite haggard and
worn.
''My God!" he cried; 81 refuse to
believe it, refuse to believe one word
of it,"
With her clear, pitiless voice, she
went on telling him what would hap
pen.
"You have one resource" she said,
''and I tell you quite honestly about
1t; when you are of age you can remar-
ry this person if you wish"
He sprang from his seat with a cry
of wounded pain and love-
Mother, is it really true?" he asked.
Il married that young girl before
Heaven, and you tell me that if per-
sist in returning to tner she loses her
fair name! If it be so, you have done
a very cruel thing"
1T is so,' said my lady, coldly. 81
grant that it seems cruel, but better
that than tarnish the name of a whole
race"
Il shall remarry Leone, mother, the
day after [ am twenty-one," he said.
The countess raised her eyebrows.
''The same man does not often make
a simpleton of himself in the same
fashion, but if you will do it, you will.
For the present, if you nave any re-
gard for the person who is not your
wife, you will let her go home again.
I will return and talk over your jour
ney with you"
So saying, the Countess of Lanswell
quilted the room, leaving her son over
whelmed with a sense of defeat.

still doing good service. He also las
