WOMAN'S DEVOTEDNESS.
A True Tale of Napoleon's Time.
The Emperor Napoleon had on one occasion af
ter an audience with the foreign ministers, remained ;
motors* with Josephine in the deep recess of a
window that overlooked, the gardens of Pountairt
blean. They were interrupted by the entrarice
one of his officers, the Chevalier De litervble, who
bowing said—
Sir, a young lady from Lyons has been wait
kg hours for an opportimity to see you."
Why was she not admitted ere this!" asked Na
poleon hastil.
" Tour ma jesty forgot that the Austrian Arirbas
sacks bas just departed."
Ah ! I had forgotten ! A young woman !
What is her business with rue r
" Some petition, I believe, sir," answered De
Mervffie_
Well, well, show her into our presence now,"
said the Emperor, looking .at Josephine with a'
smile.
The officer retired and soon re-appeared in the.
mrrodor, with a lady leaning upon his arm, Whose:,
face, as moth as could be seen, was very beautiful!
She bled as she approached the door.;

flung a - uniform of the regimetit to which Louii be

tresses into a knot, placed the op upon her head.

her transformation. A little below 'the stature of
.Loris, the cap added to - her height ; while its long
black plumes sweeping over her face, effectually
concealed it from view. She knew that she was to
be led to the fatal ground at the morrow's dawn.
The bullet which would have struck Louis to the
earth, would pierce her heart, but she shrunk tit
back. Love triumphed over the timid woman's '
nature. " Louis' mother will bless me in her heart;

Morning. downed. The sound of footsteps aroused
Henrietta.. She started up, grasping the band of
hair, she awaited the summons. The door opened
and two soldiers entered. Repeating the name of
Louis Delamarre, they silently led her forth to die.
The large court yard, even at this early hour t was
filled with soldiers—the comrades of Lcmis--as
a&vembled to wits the punishment of desertion.
Henrietta milmlytook her place onthe spot assigned
to her, het faze bent toward the ground. No one
suspected she was other than Louis Delarnarre, the
deserter. But he was yet in a distafit part of the
guard house, happily ignorant of the devotedn es s
of her he loved so well. The soldiers whose bul
lets were intended to pierce the heart of Louis, had
taken their proper Jistances, and only waited the
word of command from the Emperor, who was
stationed at a window commanding a view of the
whole scene.
" Oh 1" cried Josephine, who stood by him, but
concealed by the window drapery from the view
of those below. "Oh ! Sire, I can endure it no
longer, it seems too much like dreadful reality.
See the devoted girl! No shrinking back. She
seems calmly awaiting the fatal moment."
"Stop." cried the Emperor from the window.
" Louis -Delan:iarreis pardoned ! I revoke his sen
tence."
A loud burst of applause from the lips of the.
soldiers followed this announcement No one of
them but loved and r e spected their comrade. The
next moment, ere they could press around to con
gratulate thd. supposed Louis, De Mery ii had ea
gerly drawn the bewildered Henrietta through the
crowd. back to . the door of the cell from which she
had emeiged but a few moments before.
" Resume your dress again, Mademoiselle," he
hurriedly whispered. " Lose no time. The Em
peror wishes to see you. I will return soon.".
Henrietta was like one in a dream; but a gleam
of delicious hope thrilled -her soul ; she felt the
dawninga of happiness break upon her heart Soon
again resuming her pretty rustic habiliments, De
Meridlle reappeared, and once again' she trod the
gallery leading to the audience room of the Empe
ror. Lifting her eyes from - the ground, as the lofty
door swung open, she beheld Louis ! An exclama

LUCK IS EVERY THING.
By JOSEPH R. CHANDLER.
The .course of true love, it is said, did never yet
run smooth ; and those who have had experience
on that turnpike of theaffections, or rather railroad,
as it is soon run over, bear testimony to the jolts,
"running off," and washings up alive, of all which
the poets speak. We have no great, taste, in this
time of politics and perplexities, to dabble in " fan
cy stocks," and risk our reputation for gravity ; yet
the illustration-of an aphorism of admitted truth,
may be considered seasonable, and the moral de
duced from the , illustration may compensate some
for the, trouble of reading. it.
In the year 1814—we remember the thee - well,
because a part of the incidents of the story were
connected with a great event, an event not likely
to be forgotten—well, in the year 1814 a young
man, who to a visionary , mind, and a consequent
want of employment, added - a most desperate af
fection form young lady, quite too good for him, if
business pursuits were alone considered, but just
his match, if confiding affection, purity of mind, and ,
innocence of purpose, are the reward' of large en
dowments, strict integrity, and . desire fur honest,
competence, without the means of obtaining it.
There was no more pleasing young man in the
thriving village than Henry 'Bradford ' and every
body agreed with his
,neightiors, that he was the
most agreeable person and the beid educated aboUt.
But he didoot Study law, he despised medicine and
did not tak to the church ; he had frequently
thought of "Meicluindixe," but that required a cap
ital, which he could-not raise, and so he did not-go
ahead though he was forever on the brink of- simile
wonderful success, which he certainly would have
secured, if he had only entered upon the ehter
prise.
Mary Carver evident'' loved Henry Bradford ;
for „knowing that, excep t i n g his handsome trots;
pleasing manners and good character , he ha noth
ing to offer, she would not have been deaf the
offers of so many young men, whose character and
position rendered them desirable to the hinny.—
wu.e offers were repeated so often, and hints so
strong were given to Mr. and Mrs. Carver' that it
was deemed proper after a serious deliberation in
cabinet council, to - admonish their daughter that
Henry was in no business, and was not likely to be
in a way to maintain a family.
Mrs_ Carver opened _the. _ dinlornacx Atith. the
daughter, and, alter two orthree conierenms, rec
treated under the laugh of Mary, who dechmxl that
sheclid not doubt that Henry would one day be
rich enough to take care of bidh, for be hell a dream
that he should be. Mrs. Carver had no disposition
to laugh in such a serious , mission , anddesire to
be angry with her daughter. .
Mary, however, knew that when her father came
to negotiate, she would have to use othererguments
than laughter, and therefore she admonished Heir
ry of the approaching storm. Henry thought of it
two or three days, an unusual time for him to de
vote to any thing like his personal aifaits.
At length the family was honored l a formal ,
offer from a clergyman in a neigh town. He 1
_rind su4s-d
an offer was not to be alightecl_-...4.-..nerke.-
ed. Old Mr. Carver took the subject ton heart, and
Mrs. Carver gave 'her sheer muslin a double clear
starching upon the very idea of her becoming moth
er-in-law'to a minister. Mary pondered these things
in her heart. She saw the improbability of Henry's
ever attaining a situation that would Warrant mat
rimony,. She was listening to her mott i e s r's account
of his want of application to business, apparent
disregard of attwning.competence, and of his utter
lack of what is called common sense ; and the old
ladv concluded her homily with a remark, that she
believed Henry Bradford' would think more of a
dream of wealth twice repeated, thant of the best
prospects that ever presented for business prefer
ment.
“ Mother," said Mary, " Henry is not alool."
"No," said Mrs. Carver, hesitatinglY, " be is not
a fool, certainly."
" Why, then, do you talk so of him 1". asked Mary
" But he is coming now," continued the girL
" Speak to hire, plainly, my child," Mid hirs.Car
ver.
Mary made no answer, for she was a little mor
tified at the ludicrous turn which her Mother had
given to Henry's rather dreamy proposition, though
she had never heard him build any aistles in the
air out of any such materials.
Henry came with his usual pleasant humor, and
sat down by Mary, and, after a few words, he per
ceived that something was wrong.- ! -
" Mary," said he, " have you been reading the
Sorrows of Wordier r
"No, Henry. but I have been listening to moth
er's sorrows—her 'lamentations over 'yea. She
says-" •
Never mind what she says, Mary, as perceive
it is not very good ; just listen to- what- 'I have to
tell"
" Well, what is it, Henry t I hope it it good."
"Excellent, capital; it will be delightffil."
" Do, then, tell me what it is." -
" Why,-fast Sunday night I dreamed that--"
" Dreamed .'" exclainied Mary, with a niost dolo
rous sigh. 1 -
" Aye, dreamed."
Well, go on."
" I dreamed that I had drawn ten diamond dol
lars in the Plymouth Beach Lottery."
" Wellorhat then r
Why, I dreamed the same on Monday \ night,
and on Tuesday night, and the number was 6, 4.3,
Q. Well, I sent right to Boston on Wednesday, s
and purcluised the ticket, and here it is : Yon \
keep it, Mary, and when I go up to Boston for the
prize, you shall go with me. 1
Poor Mary smiled mournfully and reproimhitig,ly.
Henry left the house and went home, safisfiedthat
he had made a right disposition of the ticket.
Day after day did Henry watch at the Post Of
e, to read the first re of the drawing; but

alder was a 'sort of aristocracy.. He went day af
ter
day to look-at his brig, wishing for the time to
pass away for the prize to be paid ; but he said
nothing to Mr. Carver. .
• One evening, while Henry was talking to Mary,
Ishe asked him what he intended to do when the
forty days *ere up. •
" Rig her, bend her sales; and then sell her, or
I send her to*aiN"
" Why Fry it 'took the whole of the ticket 'to

Henry hesitated, he bad not thought of that; but
he did not doubt but it would all come right yet.
Henry was sitting the nest day on the quarter
rail of his brig looking at the masts, well covered
with snow and ice, and thinking of the better ap
she- would make when the rive,, r had =duty. At length he felt the han k of Mr.

A Yank ee trick on a Hoosier landlord.;
In a quiet little Ohio villne, inany years r•ga.,
there was a tavern where the stages always Awry
ed, and the passengers ezpeeted to get bnokfaft.--
The landlord of Said hotel was noted far his t 'neicir
upon travellers, who were allowed to gety
a:o4a the table, when , the driver would t
his horn (after taking his "horns ") and sing ou t,
piar
"Stage ready, gentlemen," 'whereupon the ii
gerstwere obliged to hurry out and take their Seats,
learn a scarcely tasted- breakfast behind them,
for which, however, they had to fork over ififty
centh! One •day when the stage was ap
the house of this obliging best, a passenger said
thatl he had often hea rd of the landlord's tri and
passenger
he rt-as afraid they would not be able to any
breakfast, ' , 1
" What I—how I No breakfast r exclaimed the
rest!
" Exactly ea, gents, and you may as well :eep
your seats and tan."
"Don't they eXpect passengers to breakfast • ;
"Oh, yes! they expect you to it, but.not ti eat
it. lam under the impression that there is un
derstanding between the landlord and driver,lthat,
for sundry - and Various drinks, eta, the latter starts
before you can scarcely commence eating."
" Why, what on airth are you talkin' about Ef

you calkelate Iwo gain' . to pay ' four nine '
fur my breakfast and not get the cake illek ou're
mistakin'!" said' a voice from the back seat, the
owner of which lwas ono lfesekiah Spaulding--tho'
"few hum" they call him" Hex" for short. "I'm
go& to get my breakfast here, and not pay nary
red tilll do." I
"Then you'll be left.' _ 1
" Not as you knows on, I wont!" I ,
" Well, we'll nee," said the other, as the Stage
dove up to the door, and the landlord, ready to
"do the hospitable," says— 1
"Breakfast just ready, gents! Take a wash,
pats! Here!srwater basins, towels, and soap."
