Alas, it was not so! She was nothing more than
a mild, amiable, pretty girl, utterly incapable of

She was endowed by nature only with these qual

Napoleon despairing of offspring from Joseph
ine, and consumed with the meat intense desire to
have an heir who should inherit his glory and per.
petoate his name, resolved to sever the ties which
bound him to Josephine, the wife of his youth,
and to obtain a more youthful bride from the sub.
aervient monarchies around him. He hoped thus
to secure en heir in whose person should be allied
all that was glosious is his own schievments, and
all that is illustrious in exalted descent. The re
pudiation of Josephine, strong as were the politi
cal motives which led to it, is the darkest stain
upon the character of Napoleon. Arid like all
wrong doing, however seeming prosperous for a
time, -it promoted final disseter and woe. A pique
originating in this marriage, aleniated Alexander
of Howie from the French Empero'r, and hence
the campaign of Moscow, and the imprisonment
of Napoleon upon the rock of St. , Helena. When
the design of Napoleon was known, every court
of Europe was emulous of the honor of such an
alliance. The Boutbons in their etile, would
gladly furnish a princees of the royal blriod, as a
bride for the mighty conqueror. The Russian
Court proffers any of its high born maidentto the
acceptance of the master spirit, at whose frown all
Europe trembles. And the Austrian Monarchy,
the proudest of all earthly dynasties, eagerly seeks
alliance with the soldier of fortune, who has twice
entered its capital in triumph, and repriced with
his plebien marshal's in Ito palaces. After much
deliberation. Napoleon decided to accept the alli
ance with Austria. Proposals were made for Ma
ria Louisa, and eagerly accepted. Maria wasthen
nineteen years of age, and was most happy to be
bemired as the bride of o ne who had tilled the
world with renown. Napoleon was forty-two.—

surrounded by all the pomp the Austrian Monar
citq could confer, to meet her future husband.—
Ac the long train of carriages left Vienna:the
people gazed mournfully upon the scene. Maria
Antoinette, the last princess Austria bad furnish
ed for the throne of France, but a few years be.
fore had perished miserably upon the scaffold.—
'Fho populace were only prevented by the soldiers
from cutting the traces of the carriages, and pre
venting the departure, The gorgeous procession
moved on its way towards the frontier of France.
Napoleon had never yet seen the bride who was
coming to meet him. "She, is not beautiful." he ;
said, as he gazed upon her miniatute, obrii site is
a daughter of the Calera!"
When Maria arrived at the Rhine her Austrian
attendants left her, and she was received by, the
French nation, end conducted towards Paris with
the highest possible accompaniment of imperial
'splendor. The bells rang their merriest peals of
congratulation. The Austrian and trieolored
flag floated in friendly, embrace from every tower.
Triumphal arches, illuminated cities, end civic and
military piocesaione greeted her progress, while
the horses of her chariot buried their hoofs in beds
of roses which were spread overber path. France,
then in the zenith of its pride, and intoxicated with
glory from the Rhrine to the Pyrenees. resounded
with all the expressions and demonstrations of re
joicing. Napoleon met her near the Compeigne.
Springing from his own carriage he eagerly leap
ed into that of the Emmet', and entirely regard
less of all that restraint and etiquette of courts
folded her in his embrace with the most youthful
impetuosity. The postillions were ordered to
drive upon the gallop to the palace of Compeigne.
This unexpected ardor was nut at all unwelcome
to Maria, and a few hours in the society of her
imperial husband invested her with a queenly ease
and affability, that she could hardly be recognised
by' her former attendants. The marriage ceremo
by was celebrated with the utmost splendor, at St.
Cloud, and tidier before or since has Paris resoun
ded with such an uproar of rejoicing, as when
Napoleon led hie youthful bride into those eon
ments of the Tuilleries,•from which Jossphine.but
three months before, had been rejected. Four
queens held the bridal train of Maria Louisa, end
the ambassadors of elf the courts of Europe revol
ved around her as their central luminary. But
who can tell hew dismally these rejoicings fell
upon the ear of Josephine, as she sat weeping in
her deserted chamber.
In one year from that time Marla was placed
upon that mysterious couch of suffering from
which no regal wealth or splendor can purchase
exemption. Her pains were long protracted, and
her anguish dreadful. The attendant physicians
in the utmost trepidation informed Napoleon that
the life of the mother of the child must be sacri
ficed. "Sate the mother." raid Napoleon ; but
perceiving that they. bad lost their presence of
mind in view of the peril of iio illuatrious a patient,
he immediately added: "Do as you would with
the wife of the humblest tradesnian in the Rue
St. Denies' The physicians reassured, returned
to their duty, and the crisis was passed.
The birth of this child was an event which had
been anticipated by the whole of France with the
most aincete interest. It had been previously an
nounced abet the cannon of the Invalids should
proclaim the advent of the expected heir to the
throne. If the child was a princess, twenty-one
guns were to be fired ; if a prince, one hundred.
At six o'clock in the morning of the 20th of
March, 1811, all Piris was aroused by the deep
booming of those heavy-guns, reverberating over
the city in annunciation of the arrival of the wel
come stranger. Every window was instantane
ously thrown open. " Every ear was on the alert.
The slumberers were aroused from their pillows,
and silence prevailed all the streets of the busy
metropolis as the vastithroogartood motionless, to
count the tidings which these explosions were
thundering into their ears: The heart of the great
great capital ceased to beat, and in all her glowing
veins the current ol k life stood cull. When the
twenty-first gun had been fired, the interest was
intense beyond all conception. The gunners de.

most welcome announcement, and from the entire

mon of Theodora ?artier, the following story.—
The subject of the discourse is'otest :" "They tell
a story that one day Rabbi Judah and his brethren,
the seven pillars-of wisdom, sat in the Court of
the temple on feast-day disputing shout rest.—
One said • that it was to have attained sufficien
wealth, vet without sin. The second, that it was
fame and praise of all men. The third,that it was
the pissessitin of power to rule the state:' The
fourth, that it consisted only in a happy home.—
The fifth, that it must be only in the old age of
one who is rich powerful, famous, surrounded by
' children end children'cchildren. The sixth said
that all were vain unless a man keep all the ritu
al law of Moses. And Rabbi Judah, the venerable,
the tallest of the brothers, said : 'Ye have spoken
wisely, but one thing more is, necessary, he only
can find rest, who to all these things addeth this:
that he keepeth the tradition of the elders.'
"There sat in the Court a fair-haired boy, play.
ing with his lilies in his lap. alid hearing the talk,
dropped them in astonishment from his bands and
looked op—that boy of twelve—and said : •Nay,
nay, fathers; he only loveth rest,
whri loves his
brother as himself, and God with his whole heart
and soul. 7
"'Ho is greater than fame and wealth and pow
er, happier thin a happy home, happy withefit it,
better than honored age, he is a law to himself
