Vlttorla Colonna, on tho death of her husband.
Iho Marcheso dl Pescara, retired to her castle at
Ischla (Inarlme,) and thcro wrotu tho odo upon his
death, which gained her tlio title ol Dlvlnc.l
onco more, oncn more, Inarlme,
I seo thy purple hills I once more
I hear tho billows ol tho bay
Wash the white pebbles on thy shore I
High o'er the sea-surge and the sands.
Like a grent galleon wreeke J and cast
Ashore by storms, thy castle stands,
A mouldering landmark of the past.
Upon Its terrace walk I seo
A phantom gliding to and fro :
It Is Colonna It ts she
Who lived nnd loved so long ago.
Pescnra's beautiful young wife,
Tho typo of perfect womaniiood,
Whoso life was love, tho life of life,
That tlmo nnd change and death withstood.
For death, that breaks tho marrlago band
In others, only cl03er pressed
The wedding ring upon her hand,
And closer locked and barred her breast.
She knew the life-long martyrdom,
Tho weariness, tho endless pain
Of waiting lor somo one to come
Who nevermore would como ncalR.
Tho shadows of tho chestnut trees,
Tho odor of tho orango blooms,
The song of bird!, nnd, raoro than these,
The silence of deserted rooms.
Tho respiration of the sea,
The soft caresses of tho air,
All things In naturo seemed to bo
But ministers of her despair ;
Till tho o'erburdened heart, so long
Impilsoned In Itself found vent
And voice In ono Impassioned song
Of Inconsolable lament.
Then, as tlio sun, though hidden from sight,
Transmutes to gold the leaden mist,
Her life was interfused with light,
Prom realms that, though unseen, exist.

Among Napoleon's officers who had served
with him, and wlm-,0 quality ho know, was
a young captain named Joachim iltirat,
whom ho dispatched to secure these guns
and bring them to the city. At tho head of
three hundred picked cavalry, Murat was
quickly dashing away at headlong speed,
manner and ungainly ligure, and possessed
none of those qualities calculated to recom
mend one lo the gentler sex. After several
days sojourn he succeeded in making him
self disagreeable to all those he came in con
tact with. On tho eleventh day alter his ar

NAPOLEON'S DEBUT IN PARIS.
AX HISTORICAL, SKETCH.
The mouth of October, 1795, opened
gloomily, darkly and calamitously for Paris.
The king, Louis XVI, had been executed ; aml every post manned tinder his own eye,
Jacobin soldiery, sure of the prey, had hitch
ed to some ol , tlio limbers, ihero weae no
lives lost there. Mural's charge was like a
nhirlivind, and the insurgents Hew before it
like chair. The guns were conveyed safely
to I'.iris,aud by Napoleon taken tolhoTuil-
Ieries, and so placed as to sweep with their
muzzles every avenue leading to that all im
portaut quarter, lor in tuts place the young
commander caused to bo stored nil the arms,
ammunition and provisions which his oner
getic details had lound and mmciI in diner
cut parts of tlio city
There is no need that we should give in
detail all that Napoleon did during tho sin
gle night of the fourth of October. The ma.
jority of our readers would gather no int'or
mation of value from the enumeration of
the fortified points and passes. Suffice it to
say that tho man who had undertaken, with
five thousand men, to overcome fivo and
forty thousand reckless, desperate insurgents
did not sleep. Every point was looked to,
as mother and daughter, engaged an apart'

quite a sensation among the eligible young

siderable rivalry sprang up among tho
young men and marriageable old ones, each
endeavoring to ingratiato himself in the
young lady's all'ectious. Sho received their
attentions with 'a haughty dignity and cold

less-determined and faint-hearted males.
Our awkward friend, tho first arrival, was

He declared that the ugly fellow's attentions

"I was the first man to attack a grizzly

native, as ho looked around. "I was the
first man to discover silver in Nevada. I
mado tlio first scout up Powder river. I
was first the man to make huntlng-shirUout

"That's another deadly insult to be wiped
out in blood, and 1 see I must finish you.
I never fight around a depot, though. I go
out on the prairie, where there is a chance
to throw myself."
"Where's your prairie, lead the way !

ed the car painter, reaching: out ior tne

would you ?"
"You're a cabbage, a squash, a pumpkin

marked the car-painter, as he put on his
coat.
"Yes, he's a great coward," remarked
several others, as they turned away.
"I'll give ten thousand dollars for ten
drops of red paint?" shrieked the native.
"Oh 1 why is it that I have no paint for my

A big blacksmith fromIUinois took him
by tho neck and run him out, and he was
seen no more foran hour. Just before the
train started, ami after all the passengers
had taken seats, tho "first man" was seen
on the platform. Ho had another bowic
knife, aud had nlso put a tomahawk iu his
belt. There was red paint on his left ear,
his eyes rolled and, iu a terrible voice, he
called out:
"Where is that man Logwood ?
"Mr. Thompson, sir: It may not bo un
known to you that during an extended pe
riod of fivo years I havo been engaged in
the prosecution of a commercial enterprise,
with the determination to procure a suffi

"A which mice?" asked old Thompson,
but Smith held on to tho last word, as if it
was his only chance, and went on
"In the hopo that somo day I might en

sions upon one whom I could call my own. I
havo been n lonely man, sir, and have felt
that it is not good for a man to be alone ;
therefore I would "
"Neither is it, Smith ; I'm glad you
dropped in. How's tho old man ?"
"Mr. Thompson, sir," said Smith, in de
spairing confusion, raising his voice to u
yell, "It may not be unknown to you that
during nn extended period of n lonely man
I have been engaged to enter wedlock, and
bestowed all my enterprise on whotn I could
determine to bo good for certain posscsssion
no, I mean that is that Mr. Thompson,
sir; it may not be unknown "
"And then, again, it may. Look here,
Smith, you'd better lay down and take
something warm you ain't well."
Smith, sweating like a four year old colt
went ir. again.
"Mr. Thompson, sir: It may not be lone
ly to you to prosecute ine whom you a friend
for a commercial maintenance, but but
eh daug it Mr. Thompson, it "
"0, Smith, you talk like a fool ; I never
saw such 11 first-class idiot in tho course of
my whole life. What's tho matter with you
anyhow?"
"Mr. Thompson, sir," said Smith, in an
agony of bewilderment, "it may not be
known that you prosecuted a lonely man
who is not good for a commercial period of
wedlock for some fivo years, but "
Seo here, Mr. Smith, you re drunk, and
if j-ou can't behave bolter than that, you'd
better leave: If you don't I'll chuck you
out, or I'm .1 Dutchman."
'Mr. Thompson, sir," said Smith, frantic
with despair, "it may not ho unknown to
you that my earthly possessions are engaged
to enter wedlock five years with n sufhcient
ly lonely man, who is not good for a com
tui.rci.il maintenance "
"The very dcuco he isn't! Now you jist
git up nnd git, or I'll knock what littlo
brains out of you you've got left."
With that old Thompson took Smith and
shot him into the street as if he'd run him
against a locomotive going out at tho rate
id forty miles nn hour. Ucforo old Thomp
son had time lo shut the front door, Smith
coi'"cted his legs and one thing another
that were lying around on the pavement,
arranged himself in a vertical position, nnd
yelled out
"Mr. Thompson, sir. It may not bo
known to you "
Which made tho old man so wretched
mad that he went out aud set a bull ter
rier on Smith before ho had a chance to lift
a breigan, and there was a scientific dog
fight, with odds in favor of the dog, for ho
had an awful hold for such a small ani
mal.
Smith afterwards married the girl, and
lived happily about two months. At the
end of thnt time he told a confidential
friend that lie would willingly take more
trouble and undeigo a million moro dog
bites to get rid of her.
