From that day the desire for Came became with
him an all•absorbing passion, and the determination
to possess it, was written on his lofty brow and
sool•revealing 'eye.
• Years passed by. There was a name which trek
sounded all over .the land. Old , men spoke it to
their childien, infants learned to lisp it in , their
ora
dies, and young men iiiiove to emulate its glories,
4, It was familiar to every ear, and beconie a talis.
man to awaken an interest is every heart. It was
his. , The little troy had grown to be a man, and
had gained his heart's desire, be had reached the
highest pinnacle of fame, and men looked on with
wonder and admiration and did him homage. But
did all this suffice the cravings of his spirit! Was
he happy! Nd ! he felt that the longings of his
heart could not Abe satisfied by fame, yet ambition
was his God, and it led him on with its wild resist
less power. He had never yielded his heart to the
influence of love, nor2paused in his onwani course
t o cast the sweeter enjoyments of life. He had
wandered far from the scenes of h.s childhood, and
strove to banish from his mind all memories of the
past, lest they should sway him from the purpose of
his soul. ,
But there were times when his thoughts would
wander back to infancy, ad then the pale, lovely
lace of his sister Would st tby before him. And
often in the still 'night-ti te, when sleep chained
down his mighty will, she was present in his dreams,
and he wandered with her again over the meadows,
while his heart was tilled with early oys of child
hood. But when morning broke the spell of fancy,
he turned again to his onwerd way, and ham in his
cares and anxieties, all the tender inßuence that
might had woven aroune his heart.
o,:ambition ! Thou art a tyrannical god indeed,
and such as yield themselves to thee are held with
a power stronger than life.
Years passed by ; an old man stood alone by a
little brook and looked around him with a sad coun
tenance. It was him who was the little boy. He
had grown to be an old man now, and his head was
white with the snows of many winters; and he had
come to take a last look at the scenes of his child
hood, ere he descended into the grave. As he saw
the glorious sunrise which made beauty over all
things, and heard the birds sing as he had heard
them long years before, his heart went back to the
earlyitpring lime of life, and he thought of all the
changes had come over ha since he stood there
before in the sunny days of childhood. He had
seen youth and manhood'pass away, and his heart
had grown Cold in the cares of life, and all the
brightness of his spirit had forsaken him in the
stnaggie for fitme. He had given up his all to tame,
and what had she left him in return ! only a blight
ed and desolate heart. , His only reward had been
a life of care and anxiety.
Anti nowjte must soar go down to the grave —•
His youth had passed by, and his surnmer4ime
had gone, bat his God bad been forgotten.
" ! days of my childhood," be cried in. the
anguish of his spirit, "meld you return once more
how ditlerently would I choose my course," and
the bitter tears of repentance trickled down his sot
raw beaten face. A flower, all faded, thatliad lain
unseen for years, he looked upon again and it
brought back the memory of ids tittle dying sister.
Oh!" be mid, that I had died with her in the
morning of life," acid he prayed long and tervendy
that they,m tete meet again in Heaven, So he died
and they laid him down to sleep by the side of her
who had gone in the spring time of her existence.
I know that the joyousness of childhood must
pass away.—it has alneelygune. I know that the
warm and, hopeful feelin g a - of my'ycmth most be
chilled by sorrow, and all my bright dreams dark
ened; I know that 1 post meet troubles and anate
bona in lice, for that is the let of all, tot I never let
my bent receive the blight of "wild ambition's
power." The freshness of the spirit may he
lost as yowls , pawn away, sad the dreams which
were woven so sweetly may be broken, but there
are yet lento es higher and better enjoyments, and
in the atmosphere) of home, surroonded by loving
friends, we may easily be consoled for the lon of
all the golden past.

her, 1809. The Emperor and Empress dined at
Fontainbleen alone. She seemed to have had a
presentiment that ber,, own doom was seed, for
that day site had Oren in her retired apartment
weeping bitterly,, As the dinner hour approached,
she bathed her Swollen eyes, anti tried to regain
her composure.' They sat down at the table in si
lence. 'Napoleon did not speak. Josephine could
not trust her voice to utter a word. ,Neither ate a
m 613011131 Comae atter course was brought in and
removed untouched. A mortal paleness revealed
the anguish of each heart. Napoleon, in his em
barrassment, mechanically, and apparently uncon
sciously, struck the edge of h-s glass with his knife,
while lost in thought. A : cte melancholy meal
probably was never nessed. The attendants
around the table sea' ed to catch the infection, and
moved softly and silently in the diseharge of their
duties, as if they were in the chamber of the dead.
At last the ceremony of dinner was over, the at
tendants were dismissed, and Napoleon, rising and
ckLsing the door with his own hand, was left alone
with Josephine. Another moment of most painful
silence ensued, when the Emperor, pale as death,
and trembling in every nerve, approached the Em
press. He tdok her hand placed it upon his heart,
and in flattering accents, said, "Josephine! my
own good Josephine! yOu know how I have loved
you. It is to you alone that I owe the only few
moments of happiness ' , have known in the world.
Josephine ! my destiny is stronger than my will
My dearest affections most yield to the interests of
France."
Josephine's brain reeled ; her blood ceased to
circulate; she fainted, and fell lifeless upon the
floor. Napoleon, alarmed, threw open the door of
the saloon and called for help. Attendants from the
ante-room immediately entered. Napoleon took a
taper from the mantel, and uttering not a n - oril,
but pale and trembling. motioned to the Coen: de
Baumont to take the Empress in his arms. She
was still unconscious of everything; but bean to
murmur, M tones of anguish, "Oh, no! you can
not surely do it. 'You rt ould not kill me." The
Emperor led the way, Nrongh a dark passage, to
the private staircase which conducted to apartments
of the Empress. The agitation of the Emperor
seemed now to increase. He uttered some inco
herent sentences about a violent nervous attack ;
and fueling the stairs too steep and narrow for the
Count de Banmont to bear the body of the helpless
Josephine cnassistell, he gave the light to an at
tendant, and ; supporting her limbs himself, they
reached the door of her bed-room. Napoleon then
dismissing his male attendants. and laying „tree
phine upon her
‘ bed, rang for her waiting wczna,.
fie hang oret her twith as expression of the utmost
affection and anxiety mud she ban to revive
But the moment consciousness seemed returning,
be left the room. Napoleon did not even throw
himself upon his bed that night. He paced the
floor until the dawn of morning. The royal 'sin
geon, Coarsen, pawed the night at the bed Pule of
the Empress. Every hour the restless, yet unrelent
ing Emperor called at her door to inquire concerning
her ,seiratrun. "Oa recovering horn my swoon,
says Josephine, " I perceived that Corvisan was in
attendance, and my poor, datightet, Hortense. werp ,_
in.; over me. No! no! I cannot Jet-lige ; the boz
os of my situation during the night! Even the in
terest he affected to take in my sufferings seemed
to me addntonal cruelty. Oh! how much had Ito

cenkof the egtpim,,in the graridealotanpf,thtk,Toil
teries. every individual present was oppressed
With the melaeiholj;,lvitedeur of the orication. Na
poleon thus addressed thern.:—.
"The political . interests of my monarch, the
wishes of my people, Which has constantly guard
ed my actions, require that I should transmit to an
heir, inheriting the love of the people, the throne
ou which Pmvidence as placed me. For many
years I have lost all hope of having children by
my beloved spouse, the Empress Josephine. It is
this consitleratinn which induces me to sacrifice
the sweetest affections of my heart to consult only
the good of my subjects, and to desire the disolu
tion of marriage. Arrived at theatre of forty years,
I may indulge a reasonable hope of living long
enough to rear, in the spirit of my own thoughts
anti dispositions, the children with which it 'may
please Providence to bless Me. God knows there ,
is no sacrifice which is above my courage, when it
is proved to be for the interest of France. Far .
from having any cause of complaint, I havernoth
lag to say but in praise of the attaehmentand ten
derness of my beloved wile_ She has embellished
fifteen years of my lite, and the rerrtemb. - ance of
them will be forever engravers on my heart. She
was crowned by my hand ; she shall retain always
the rank and title 6f Empress. ' Above all, never
let her doubt my feelings, or regard me but as her
best and dearest friend "
Josephine with her eyes filled witn tears, with a
tapering voice, replied: ' l 'l respond to all the sen
timents of the Emperer in consenting to the disso
lution of a marriaze which henceforh is an olmacle
to the happiness of France, by depriving it of the
blessing of being one day governed by the deßesi
dants of that gear man who was evidently rai-ed
up by Providence to efface the evils of a terrible
revolution, and to restore the altar and the throne,
and social order. Bat bis marriage will in no re.
spect change the sentiments of my heart The
Emperor will ever find in me his best friend. I
know what this act, commanded by policy and ex
alted interest, has cost his heart, but we both glory
in sacrifices we make for the
_good of our country.
I feel eleiated in giving the geitest proof o attach
merit and devotion that was ever given upon earth."
Such trete the sentiments which were expressed
in public: but in private Josephine surrendered
herself to the unrestrained dominion of hei anguish.
No language can rlepizt the intensity of her woe.—
For sit months she wept so incersacidyi that her.,
eyes were neatly blinded with grief. f, , on the
eirso mg day the conned were again an-embled, in
the rand saloon, to witness the legal consumma-i,
non the dirome. She entered the room
in the imposing robes of state, but palid, imirewom_'
and wretched. Low tones or woke, hatmcmizi4i
with the mournful werie. filled the room. Napo- : 1 ,
lean, apart by himself, leaned against a pillar, folds
ed his arms upon his breast, and, in psrfeet silence;
apparently lost in gloomy thought, remained moo;
tionlero as a statue. A circular table wisa pla.ed
in the centre of the apartment, and upcin this there i
was a writing apparatus of gold. A vacant airii
chair stood before the table. Never dill a multp i
rude gaze upon the scaffold, the block, or therat!
lo:ine, with more awe than the assembled loftlS ;
or ladies in this gorgeous saloon coritempixed these
instruments of a more die - a/Ifni execution.
At lent eh the mournful silence was intemtieeil
by the opening et a side-door and the entrance of
Josephine. The paler of deem wainpon her blow,
and the submission of despair nerved her inm
temporary calmness. She was leaning upan the
wen of Ilarense, who, not possessing the fartitafie
of her mother, was entirely ratable' to - control her
leelings. The sympathetic daschter, immediately
upon entering the room, burst into teat* and coat.
tinned seeing mint convedsieely during the whole

How nn ESE E; Swtpr INE WAstiro.—For us
to be able to see objects clearly and distinctly, it
was necessafy-that the eye shooU be kept moist
and clean. For this purpose it is furnished with a
little gland, from which flows a watery fluid,
(tears,) which is spread over the eye by the lid,
and is afterwards swept off by it, and runs throngh
a hole in the bone to the inner surface of the nose.
where the.warm air, pasting over it while breath
ing, evaporates it. It is `remarkable no such gland'
can be foe* in the eyes of ash, as the element in
which they live answers the same purpose.-
lithe eye bad not been furnished with a liquid
to wash it and a lid to sweep it off, things would
rppear as they do when we look 'I through a dusty
glass. Along the edges of the eyelid there are a
great number of little abet or glands, from which
flows an oily substance which_spreads over the
surface of the skin, and thus prevents the edges
from becoming sore or irritated, and it also helps
to keep the tears within the lid. There are also
six little muscles attached to the eye, which ena
bles us tomove•it every direction; and when we
ccmsider the different motions they , are capable of
giving to the eyes, we cannot but admire the good
ness of Him who formed them, and has thus saved
us the trouble of turning our heads every time we
wish to view an object.
Abbot:mil the eyes of some animals are ir.caFible
of motion, as the fiy, the beetle, and several other
insects, yet the Creator has shown his wisdom and
gorkin in furnishing their eyes with thousands of
loge globes, and by placing their eyes mat in
trout of their heads so that these little insect can
see al! aror.rd them withort turning their I , eads..---
A gealleman who has examined tha eyes of a fly,
says that the-two eyes of a common one arecom
preed of 8.C.00 little globes, throvgb every One o!
which it is capable of forming-an image of an
otriect! Having prepared the eye of the ffy for
the purpose, he placed it before his micowmpe,
sad looked through both, in the manner of a tete
wept, at a steeple which was 299 feet bizb and
720 feet distant: and he says he could plainly see
through every lints ./ssatiopisirse,
