In the blithe am.:- days of boyhood In the unforgotten past; Stamped upon my heart's fresh surface, Was an imago that shall last. 'Twas i fora of girlish beauty, Tresses auburn-eyes* of blue, 'And a voice so soft and lute-like Told a spirit chaste and truo. \ And I loved that little maiden I, a boy of summers ten, With Mich passions wild and tender As one never feels again ; I And the maiden loved the school-boy Owned it by her smothered sighs, Trcmllod 'neath his gazo scardeLt Bluihod and drooped her tell-tale ojc Many wero tho little tokens Passed between thc maid and. toe, Apples, peaches, blushing berries, Ser* ps of school-boy poetry. Smile; wero given-gentle pressures Mute, yet eloquent of love Silket ringlets neatly braided Pencillings of Ileart and Dove. Often sat wc in tho shadow Of .he great, white sycamore; Sand in hand went through the meadow In tho halcyon days ot yore; Helped her to the cool and sparkling Wa;er from thc beech-tree spring; With v thrill of rapture swung her In tho .rustic grape-vino swing. i With my quaint, weft-whette'd " Barlow," On mo beben en's glossy rind, Carved, with studied, labored nourish, Rudely, yet so well deaned, That ?'en now, tho curious hunter, Pat sing in his search for game, Read* with ease the rough edged letters Th? initials of ber nnmo. Saw -.-Uh Bashing eyes th'advances Of my scbool-felb'W-"John Ed." Felt '-.would be n pleasant pastimo Te 7:!'evc lem of his head ! To our y*atn^ nd ardent fancy Opened up u futuro bright, . Wher, released from laws parcntalf Wc our marriage vow should plight. Thus through many brppy summers Side by ?ide wo moved along, fieckit'g naught ?i 'ho stern trials That to older lifo bchrag; Thon we paned-I lo ponder . Over academic lire She was left, a conder budlct, Opining on the river'.s shore. ? .# ? a ? . . Time sped un, and I, in manhood, Saw another maiden fair Saw and loved, and wooed and won her Wreathed the orange in ber hair.. She, ;t wife, so pure and gentle, Mr.kes my cup with bliss o'erllow; Nqvcr hath a trw r woman Smoothed the path of mm below. ALL READY F0Ii A DUE! Our regiment, wa? stationed at Morga, F.. rd. ?.?ur Colonel hid been shot hy an I dian gncf-ri?ii, and our Lieut. Colonel had go home ?ck, so thc command devolved on o Major, v. b'.-e hame was Fiirwell. Ile wat middle aged, dashing fellow, given tosoci enjoyment; nud, as a general thing, kc-pi: ii, prctly frivndlj- tenus with those abd hin?. Ile was naturally free and eas line iddirr ard a strict disci* linarian. 1 -.vas a kind-hearted, generous man, thou* trouhlec with a ti inper that led him into c ror nt times. . M nj 't Farwell had been in command !> a week ivhen bc concluded to scud for L wife t-o jomo and >tr?i with bim through t! summer. He bad comfurtuhle and commoi ons quarters, and t!'cre was liuie danger th thc Ind.ans would make another attack. I was on foraging expediiion when Mr Farwell arrived j but I returned ou the folio ing day, tad wai iasdaopu Lp attend the pari vi: ?d: the Major g .'.ve on thc occasion. Tl stn**', ar d line officers, not kept away on dat; were all present, and joy and merriment rule the hour. Mrs. Farwell was younger than her husban a portl" woman, bearing herself with peculii erac- aud dignity, without any i-d'orl at sLo or allic tatton. She assumed-no needless n serve, but treated ber guests with khidnC and consideration, seemingly only anxioe that ab should- feel ?il home and enjoy then selves. In that far off region the law i vi iota! il sdoence were, not strictly adhered to j an' on the present occasion, we not only emptic many bottles of wine, but sundry bottles c bid bourbon were included iu the bill of fan Toward midnight thc ladies withdrew* bu tho officers were not* quite ready to retire The-Major was in the highest -spirits ; son, and story, with flowine* goblet.?, gave us occi patiou. By and by, I proposed a toast, '. Mn Major Faryell." and it was drank with tbie cheers Why iu thc v'orld the Major shouli taken offence, I could not coinpreliend j bl* be did so, and intimated that I bad not bette niake too free with his wife's hame. .. Egad,!1 I replied, without stopping t( weigh my word?, " if yon must baTC you bande?me lady as sacred as that, you ough not to have brought her out ber,?." "CVpi.. Willett," bc cried, rising to h?? feet, ;| if you breathy tho lady's name again I'll kick you from my quarters/.' I hi d started up from my seat, wbenX^ieul Walker, sitting by my side, pulled me b:.ck *' Zounds," bc uttered in a hurried whisper "don't say another word. The old Mejor' mad, und he's a bit jealous, too. Can't yoi see it?" As Waiker spoke, lt flashed upon me that Mrs. Farwell bad been very ait?cljj'e to me She bad danced with mc four or five times, and bad promenaded with nie cn tbe piaza. Bu. I could ??ot bear such language us Major Farwell had addressed to mc, and in spite cl my fr end's remonstrance J retorted upon him. My Llood was heated with whisky, and I cared 110 more for thc ecnunai'.diit-. o Hiv er at that lime than I would have cared for n drum mer boy. "By-, sir,'' ? pepiiod vhl gp oath, whirl I need not repeat, " you would have bud 1 fine time kicking mc out! Perhaps you ! citer try it now/' The Major sprang toward me and caught me by ibu collar. I thoughUnt thc time that he m-'ant to strike; but I was subsequently convinced that bc did not. But I struck bim upon the check with the fiat of.toy.hand. With a hissing oath be drew a pistol from bis packet,' but before be conld use it, .the Adjutant caught his arm, and tbreo or four of my friends hurried me from the room, and led mc to my own quarters. On the following morning I awoke with anything but a pleasant feeling, and when I remembered what bad transpired daring the previous night, I fell wretched enough. I cursed the wine cup and the whitby bottle from thc bottom of my heart, and inwardly resolved I would touch the stuff no moro. Still, I was forced to'take a stiff hot toddy to steady my nerves; and after I bad dressed mysiifi' I ?ut down to a cup ot colice. I was thus engaged when our Adjutant, Mr. Bowker, en te .-ed my quarters. J bade him good morn-, ing and asked him if he would not take some breakfast with mo. '. NTot now," he said, shaking his head, "I bavi! called upon business. Ah, Captain, this is a bad affair. Do you remember that you struck tho Major last night?" Yesyl remembered it very well-remem bered it too well. " He expects you to make an apology," pursued the Adjutaut. 44 And if I do not ?" u Then you must light him." " You were present, Bowker, during tho en tirfl ?c*ne?" Yes." " Then I wish, you to tell me the truth Pam free flk^ptrnfess that my brain was i bit of a whirl last night. Firsi, did I, in toast to if rs. Farwell, give him the least casio? for ill feeling?" " I could see uone. Captain ; but remen he had been drinking." " Exactly-and in that we were e And now-did he not, in the presence of whole company, threaten to kick me from I quarters ?" i ."Yes." '. . " And did he not lay his hand upon me fore I struck him ?" .... " I cannot ba positive, but I think he d "Then," said I. drinking the.last of coffee, "I shall make no apology." . "You will remember, Captain," sugges Bowker, " that thc Major is a dead shot, i that in the handling of thc sword he has superior." I cared nothing at all about that. I kt: the temper of our officers, and I kne? should be held in light esteem if I allov thc Major to back me down. Once m Bowker asked if I would apologize. I told him most emphatically, "No." g w Then." he added, " I have instructions deliver this note." He handed me an unsealed missive, wh I found to be a challenge, and by it W23 formed that Adjutant Bowker was crape ered to make all necessary arrangements. My warmest friend in the regiment wa: First Lieutenant named Walker, and I st for him at once, desiring.hira to act as my cond. At first he tried to dissuade me fri fighting ; but when he found that I would r retre:. , he consented to serve me, thougl could see.very plainly he. liked not the bu ness. However, he asked me if I had a instructions to give him. "On y two items," I replied. "First will fight willi pistols; and second, as r nerves arc somewhat unstrung, I would li that the all'air bc put off till to-morr< morning."' Walker went out with tte Adjutant, ai when he returned he informed me that t arratigeoK'M?s wire all made'. We were meet at 7 o'clock the following morntnj weapons, pistols ; distance, twelve rac- s ; o seconds to toss for choice of position; tu li at the word of-co m in ii nd. After dinner J sat down lo arrange my n fair*. I wrote several letters, which I scab and enclosed in a single envelope, to be s off.Ly my clerk in easel .-hould fal!. M property 1 gave into Walker's charge, willi i stcuctions how to dispose of it.- Whim ma ters liad been thus arranged it was well ti ward evening, and laking a light .cine in rr hand, I walked out for a breath ot-fresh air Not far from the camp was Morgan's Fall a wild, romantic spot, where the waters i the river tumbled over a huge bcd of broke ricks; and toward this spot I bent my step .lust above the falls was a bridge of log fr m which cmld be obtained one ol tli grandest .scenes that ever blessed the eye ? an ai list. Asl reached the .summit of a eminence near thc lall*, I saw a woman.an a child standing oe tho bridge; bul {pot sight of them for a timo as I dosceuded ?ut t kt: shrubbery. I was just emerging from th thicket when a sharp, piercing cry of agon broke up iii my t ar. I sprang to thc bridgt and lhere I saw the woman-?-ajope ! She was wringing her hands and shrickiiij like a crazy creature. I was not many sccoi.d in comprehending the truth. Below th bridge, floating on ihe troubled waters, I sai the child, its spreading garments buoying.i up ; ati-1 1 could hear thc tiny voice crying ;- Mamma ! mamma !". There wa* not a moment lo lose. The chi h was going nearer and nearer t- the falls nearer and nearer to its death. It was a f at fu! risk for me. for the .chances wen: thal 1 should be taken over into the hissing boi li : : ; sui'ge below the woks. Bul what was :? r s? ?o mc then! If 1 died in the tiver 1 shmiU cot ?tana iii the way of Maj ir Far wei l's bu! let. I had belier a' thousand ?iiues ?v.v rt my life, thus than throw jr away i:: the duei The woman saw iii?; and appealed to me foi help; but my coat was elf before she"di-rov ered me ; and in a moment 1 was ia the water, striking out with al! my power. The child was half way (rom the bridge ti thc falls when 1 started, but I am rapidly and caught it just at tho point whore'lin: wa tjCf-s tyetjaii to gather Lr the plunge, lt was a ?iii, tioi KO;e t-lvC/l three cr four years old, with bright golden ringlet?, large [due eyes and a face like a cherub. She .clasped bei little arias about my neck, and called me " Papa." ''Oh papa-good papa-d-n't let Killy go into the wicked place.down tuero!" With all my Plight I held up thc ch id, and struck for the shore; but it was not to be. 1 had been drawn in thc swift current, and no mortal could have withstood it. The pros pect.? tho morrow took from mc all fears tor the prcaeat, utjd j wau moro oa};rj and collected tuan J might otherwise- have ??eon. As soon as I realized that I must go'over the. falls I turned every thought to, saving the child, for, even in '.hose' few short moments, the dalling had won strangely and deeply upon roy love. Nearer and nearer! swifter and swifter! the roar of the mad waters growing louder ami io^der! until at length the edge was reached. CWe to my besoii) I bo;-e ;.he ehild, shielding it as well 2s I could, and in a mo: mont my eyes were closed beueath the boiling flood. Down, down-down, around like a top -then a wey overa bcd of smooth rocks j and when I finally opened my eye9 I paw tho ehore not far off, and quickly discovered that t could stand on my feet yyitb my hoad ont of water, ' '" ;;' '* I roached thc shore just as three or four soldiers came down the mule path, and thor helped mc to a bed of mos-1, and look thc child from my arms. Was Hits child sure? They to!o! me JC!. ] lnoied ?D and saw the cherub smile, and then my brain whirled as it had whirled in the flood,and I sank into the strong'arins of ono of my men, quite diz zy and faint. When I eame to myself I was upon my own bed, and Walkerand mv order ly were by my side. I started up and" looked around, and was not long in remembering what had happened. My. -very first inquiry was for the chil l I had saved. " The nurse took.it way," replied mv order ly, " and it was alive and well." " Whose child was it*"' But neither knew. The woman who had it in charge was a stranger, and,anxiety on my account had prevented their asking many questions It was now 8 o'clock, and I had teen iu my quarters an hour. I arose, feeling quite sore, and my left arm was so lame I could not lift it. I took a little warm wine, and ate a light supper, and by 10 o'clock I felt quite, ?trong. In the morning I felt sore and sliff, and was forced to lian? my left arm in a sliiiir. Walker, when he came, suggested that the duel be put off ; but I would listen to noauoh proposition. A few glasses of wine made me feel better, and I believed my fight hand would be steady enough. At half prwt fi wc took our pistols and started for the plac?-, which was in a secluded spot on the river, about half a mile below the falls. I was sorrmwhat fatigued when I roached the place, and was forced to call on my second for his whiskey flask. In a little wilde, the Major .;.nd Adjutant made iheir appearance, and I suggested to Walker that I would liko to have the affair over as quickly as possible. I was growing weak aiid shaky, though I did r. W| faim ?o. jj0 opened tb ) pistol case, aud was taking out the weapons, | wlicn Mr. Bowker approached u3. " Qentletncn,"' he said, "Major Farwell wishes^ospeak before wc proceed any further." " I am ' ready to listen.*' I replied, " only let hirhi be as brief as possible." Presently the Major came towards mc. '; Captain,"' ho said, with a perceptible tremulousness in bis tone, "I have challenged j you, and the arrangements are all made. I will stand where I am and you may fire at me." " ''Yera mean we shall exchange shots," said I. .?N6vn bc returned, shaking his head, "I cannofcSre at you." ? " But, sir, what means this ?" I cried, in amazement. " Dolyou not know ?" he asked, seemingly equally amazed. I assured him that I did not. " Yotrstved a human life last night." " Yes ;. I 3avcd a cherub." " Da you know whose cherub it was ?". I told- him I bad not thc least idea. With ? quick movement he advanced phd caught my haud. " Captain Willet," bo exclaimed, with strong'emotion, "that child was mine ! You may have your shot; but I would rather die a thousand deaths than lift my finger against thc proserver of my precious darling.1' ' I tried to make some reply, but I could not speakcohcrentl)'. I had been growing weaker and weaker, and my head wa3 whirling, and the sound of rushing, hissing waters rung in my ears. " Ah, thc ordeal of the falls wa3 too much for bini !*' I heard Walker say, as he caught me in his arms. " Captain-Captain-forgive me ! Pardon me ! Twas to blame.*' So I beard the Major speak. I pressed bis hand and tried to sn;ile. .? >. " ' *. * * * * * I was sick for a long time, but I bad the best and tenderest nursing. Mrs. .Farwell v us like a mother or loving sister to me, and the Major was not jealous. And when 1 grew stronger, the bright-eyed cherub was my companion. Aud as she wound her tiny arms around my neck, and pressed ber warm lips to my bearded cheek, she said that she loved me very much, and that I mt's* be ber " other papa." > THE STAR OF PE/5TINY.

Hardened as hu waa, Napoleon bad loved ' his wife, deeply and long ; and ber submission ? to his stern resolve-ber calm but mournful dignity-ber unshaken love, moved even bira ; and for a moment affection struggled with ambition. He turned to embrace her again. Bnt in that moment ber face and form bad changed, lier eye was lit with a fire like that of insanity, and her whole person seemed inspired. Ho felt himself in the presence of a superior being. She lcd bim to thu window, and threw it opon, A thin mist rested upon the Seine, and over the gardens of the palace -nil around was silent ; among tho stars then before them, one was far brighter than tho rest; she pointed to iL "Bonaparte," sire said, " that star is mine, to tbat and not to yours was promised empire ; through me and thiough my destinies you hare risen ; part from mo ai;d you fall. The spirit of her that foresaw my risc to royalty j even now communes with my spirit, and tells mo that yoar fate hangs oa minc. Believe mo or not, if we henceforth walk asMnder you j will leave no empire behind you, ard will die yourself in shame and sorrow, and with a broken f-pirit." . He turned away sick at heart, and overawed by tho words of one whose destiny had been, so strangely, accomplished. Ten days were j parsed in resolves and counter-reserves-and then the link that bound hrrri to fortune was broken. Josephine was divorced-and, as be said himself at St. Helena-from that hour his fall btgaji. Josephine was divorced, but ber love did not cease ; in her retiremen: she joyed in all hi? successes, aud prayed that he might be saved from thc fruits of bis foul ambition. When bis son was born, she only regretted that she was not near him in his happiness ; and when he went a prisoner to Elba, she begged that she might share his prison, and relieve his woes. Ever}* article that be had used at her residence remained as bc loft it; she-would not let a chair be moved. The book in which he had been last reading was there, with the page doubled down, and the pen that he had last used was by it, with the ink dried on its poiut When her death drew nigh, ?he wished to sell her jewels to send the fallen emperor money ; and her will was submitted to his correction. Sho died before his return from Elba ; but her last, thoughts were of him and France ; and her last words expressed the hope and belief " that she had never caused a single tear to-flow." She Was buried in the village church of Rue!, and her body was followed to thc grave, not alone hy princes aud generals, but by two thousand poor whose hearts had been made glad by her bounty. Her marble monument bears only this in scription : "EUOEN'E AND HORTENSE TO JOSEFIUN't." What a fund for future \vritcr3 is her charatr and fate; and what a lesson to all of us; whether in ?iresperity or adversity? Acts Passed at the Last Session of Hie Legislature?
