Thompson, who sang about the " Seasons," said It was a glorious thing to rise in season : Hut then he said it?lying?in his bed At ten o'clock, A. M.?the very reason He wrote so charmingly. The simjilc fact is. His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice 'Tis doubtless well to be sometimes awake? Awake to duty, and awake to truth? But when, alas! a nico review we tako Of our best deeds and days, we find, in sooth, The hour that leave the slightest cause to weep. Are those we passed in childhood, or?asleep ! 1 'Ti^t beautiful to leave the world awhile For lite soft visions of the gentle night : Atnl free, at lust, from mortal care or guile, To live, as only in tlie angels' sight, In sleep's sweet realm, so cosily shut in, Where, at the worst, we only dream of ain, So let us sleep, and give the maker praise I like the lad, who, when his father thought To clip his morning's n.*p by hackneyed phrase, i Of vagrant worm !>y early songster caught, Cried, "served him right, it'; not at all surprising, The worm was punished, sir. for'early rising!" The Cavalry OfficerColonel Eugene Morvillc was an attache j of Napoleon's staff. lie was a soldier in ; the true sense of the word?devoted to his J profession, and brave as a lion. Though j very handsome, and of fine bearing, he j was of humble birth?a mere child of the ; camp, and had followed the drum and b'?glo from boyhood. Kvcry stop in the line of promotion had been won by the Ptrdko of his sabre ; and his promotion { from major of cavalry was for a gallant i deed which transpired on tho battle field ; beneath the emperor's own eye. Murat, | that Prince of Cavalry officers, loved him like a brother and taught him all that his own good tasto and natural instinct had not led him to acquire before. It was the carnival season in Paris, and young Mervillc found himself nt the masked ball in the French Opera House. Pettor adapted in his taste to the field than the boudoir, he flirts but little with gay figures that cover the floor and joins but Hcldom in the giddy waltz. Put at last while standing thoughtfully, and regarding the assembled throng with a vacant eye, his attention was suddenly aroused by the appearance of a person in a white satiu domino, the universal elegance of whose figure, manner and bearing couvincM?ll nil t.Knt. l?i?r fnr?n nnsl *v?Srwl \\*\ ofjual to her person in graec and loveliness. Though in so mixed an assembly, still there was a dignity and reserve in the manner of the white domino that rather repulned the idea of a familiar addres.1, and it was somo time before the young soldier found courago to ftpenk to her. Homo alarm being given, there was a violent rush of the throng towards the door, wlierq, unless assisted, the lady would have - materially suffered, Eugene Merville offers liik arm, and with his broad shoulders and stout frame wards off the danger. It was it iciignttui moment; the lady spoke the purest French, ancl was <vritty, fanciful and captivating. f ,, w*,, "Ah! lady, praj 'Uw thity. mask, and reveal to mc the rhnMw1' ^ feature that n\Ust accompany so sweet it voice and so graceful a form as you pofftc&j."

(l Don't be too sure of that/ said the do- j mi no.

Tho young French colonel becomes moody ; he has lost his heart and knows not how to do.

Suddenly ho was ordered to an embassy to Vienna, the gayest of all the European capitals, about the time that Napoleon in planning to marry the Arch Pitches Maria Louisa. The young colonel is handsome, manly, and already dis- > tinguished in arms and becomes at once a great favorite at court; every effort be- | ing made l?v (lie women to captivate him, j but in vaiu ; he is constant and true '0 i his vow. Hut his heart was not made of stone ; the | very foot that ho had entertained 'such tender feelings for the white domino, has doubtless made him more susceptible than before.
