BRIENNE LIE CHATEAU.

TT ERE in this village of Champagne
II 1 am in a Path of Napoleon,
which was thrice tread by him,
boy and man. Brienne first saw him one
day in May, in the year 177s, riding be-
side a priest in a two-wheeled cart,
which had brought them from the near
est stage line. A forlorn, sallow-faced
his age alien-looking and speaking
broken French, he climbed down from
the cart and followed the clergyman
through the gate of the school kept by
the Minim friars. There he was registered
as Napoleone de Buonaparte, although
he called himself after his native Cor
sican fashion, Nabulione Buonaparte-
"Nah-bool-ee-ony Bona-party."
Among the few more than 100 pupils in
the school, all of noble birth, there were
sixty poor boys of the nobility who were
educated on the bounty of the King, now
Louis XVI. Thanks to the efforts of
Napoleon's father as a seeker of gov
eminent favors and his mothers hospi-
tally to the French conqueror of Cor
sica, he was admitted to this group.
Carlo Bonaparte had submitted proof Of
eleven generations of noble Bonapartes
behind his son and filed certificate of
indulgence" in which four Corsicans de-
clared that he was too poor to educate
Napoleon in accordance with his birth.
Educated by the King
The solution Of the problem Of educa-
ting their children was easy for the
Bonapartes-have the government do it!
and a kindly soul, seconded this plan,
and it was carried out with amazing sue
cess. While Napoleon was billeted on
the royal treasury at Brienne, his elder
brother Joseph was taken into a church
school at Autun. and the young uncle,
Joseph Fesch. was placed in the seminary
at AK, all at the Kings expense.
Carlos memorandum when he went
home, after bringing the three boys to
France, was characteristic Of the father
of NAPOLEON: 'T started for the
Court Of France. deputy noble of the
louis. I received while in Paris 1000
francs in qualifications from the King,
and 1000 ecus in fees; and I returned
without a SOU" He had, however,
brought back from Paris twelve beauti-
full suits of silk and velvet for himself.
As fast as the younger children grew
I'D they were regularly and promptly
transferred by Carlo to the care and
keep of a generous government, while he
himself was on the pay roll as assessor
of the royal court of justice in Ajaccio
and drew his emoluments as the deputy
of the Corsican nobility in Paris.
A lawyer by profession, he seems to
have had hardly any other client than
himself. While talented man and indus
trious enough, he labored hard and con-
stantIy all his days to support himself
and family by some more respectable
means than earning his living.
school Days in AJaccio
With his father away much Of the
time and his mother ignorant Of books,
Napoleon received no education at home.
From his uncle, Joseph Fesch, he learned
the alphabet and he was taught the cat

The Little corsIcan.

The little Corsican had found himself
mark for the boys Of Autun at the out
set of his life in France and never was
permitted to forget that he was an alien.
He was greeted with the same nischiev-
Gus hostility here in Brienne and had to
contend with bitter disadvantages.

Surprising "a person of quality de-

"Sing a Song Of sixpence."
The old nursery rhyme of Sing a
Song Of S%txpence' is an ancient allie
CORY and a very pretty one. The earth
is represented by the bottom of the pie.
while the sky Is the upper crust. The
clouds are the clothes which the maid
who is ~daybreak-is hanging on the
line before the king or sun Is up. The
money which the "king counts in his
counting house" are the sunbeams
which slip through the suns fingers.
The b%lackbird, which nips off the
maids nose SO unceremoniously and
thus ends the song. Is the sunset or
end Of day. The moon and m%oonbeams
are represented by the queen and her
honey. and thus we have the whole
day amply accounted for.
