THE FALL OF UTIE

The reception at Seceetary's Flake's

been emptied nine tunes; and still the

A pair of young men unacquainted
with each other, passed at the same

Chet lailler, turning from the younger,
a clerk in civil dress, helped the elder,
a tall naval officer, to a couple of ,glas

He had raised hie voice, in his rage,

Full of sill importance at this first

Tiltock kept the lieutenant in his eye,

tired to his room, sought with an

then sat down to write some letters

and the peu and ink matched It, but
the drunken boy's eyes marred more
than all ; for suddenly the secret foun

by the prick of his pen, arid the drops
gushed out upon the two words he had
written :
Not hie sweetheart, who was noth

had been only vain glory and deceit,
not'anything but this earliest, ever ,
lasting faith which is ours forever,
whether we be steadfast or go astray ;
the tie of home, of childhood, and of

the soft reproach which glided between
a wasted youth and the 'field of valor'

They walked up the sandy village

crossed the road amongst some bushes,
they descended by a path into a copse
arid on to a green meadow space clear

Farm boys, town boys, and intruders
of all sorts were lurking near. The
field of honor resembled a gipsv camp.
Lieutenant khdo's companion came
up to Tdtock and said that his friend
did not wish to fight, and would make
tiny manly apology, ev e n th o u g h tin
conscious of offense, if the challenge
was withdrawn. The crowd was ar

repelled the compromise, as "unwar

much about the code an about honor,

What a Wail I
'When an'American journal,daiming
to be republican in politics,finds breath
to deplore the probable recall of Na
poleon to take the helm of the French
ship of state "by the suffrage of the
French people,":it may bo time to in
quire what we are coming to. We
may regret, even in this country, that
the people sometimes call some one
politically opi,osed to us, to the execu
tive chair. But, as a rule nobody re
gards it as anything to wail about. If
the French people want Louis Napo
leon who shall set up to say them nay?
Certainly s ot journals which make a
speciality of looking to the people as
the legitimate source of power.
The French masses love peace. They
are conservative, and have never been
republican. The eighteen years of
peace and prosperity under the rule of
Napoleon constitute an arghment
which all the smooth tongued dema
gogues in France, and elsewhere, can
not shake. Add to this the fearful dis
order which results to the rule of Paris
democracy, and the wonder which
some express at the probable recall of
Napoleon disappears. It has been
fashionable to abuse that monarch in
this country ; a bad fashion, because
without cause. It he flung it the
pseudo republic of 17-18 it was for good
cause. Ile on ly strangled the bun's
cub. The French d emocracy cannot
be leashed with silken cords. Nothing
less than chair's of steel will suffice to
restrain that eenii-barbarous class. It
may be said that the republic has not
Ind a fair chance lor its Ilk.. Is it
necessary to doom France to the dogs
in order to carry on an experiment that
cannot now succeed ? There exists not
a single condition of success for the ro
public in that country. For at the
start the masses are not republicans.
Republics are possible only by coin
moll consent. There is no consent to
representative government there; or,
at least, not a purely republican gov
ernment. The greatest stickler for
technical forms must agree that even
the order that reigned in Warsaw is
better than the anarchy which to day
desolates France.— The Day.
