NOT QUITE IN VAIN.
BY MILES O'REILLY.
How often in dnys of our sore distress,
M nen we faint with an absolute weariness
Of endless labor and endless !lain,
The sickening thought In our souls will rise,
Clouding with gloom even the brightest skies,
And chilling the pulse and filling t h e eyes—
"We have lived—we have lived in valor'
When the hearts we thought golden and trusted best
Prove lint ohriveling dross in the fiery test
Which the Fates for all friendships ordain;
As we turn the false philtre with face In the wall.
Or veil the lost idol with charity's pall,
How cold on the soul seems the whisper to fall—
''We have lived—we have lived in vain r•
WllOll some prize of ambition, for yearn postponed,
Ts ill length attained, yet we feel unatoned
For the struggle that gave us the gain—
Oh, spurning the dead-sea fruit we sought,
"Mist it ever be thus ?" is the Weary thought,
And again to our liars is the whisper brought—
, "Ws have lived—we have lived in vain "
fill friends! how roes In thit, workaday life
Are tits prizes, if won, that aro worth the strife.
The 11111gor, tine lost, alld the strain!

But 0111., that, whatever its price of woe,

The Ile lips moved, ;if , ill to expres,

Ihst she i coming!" exclaimed the
guard, as his quirk ear caught the sound
apronaching footsteps.

Courvge nun (iifitnt," he added, as
the young girl leaned up Nzainst the corn
er of the corridor, trembling in every
" the aood Etupr‘ ss is like a moth-
er to her people !."
As lie said this, he hastily resumed
his post, and when the Empress made
her appearance was pacing backwards and
forwards with his tuuntonous tread, a
stolid look upon his countenance, as
though he was the mere machine, that
the discipline to which he was subjected
was intended to make him.
Josephine, then in the zenith of her
charms, was attired in her usual elegance
in a robe of black velvet, whose very
folds swept the floor; rubies gleamed upon
her bosom and in z t be heavy braids of
dusky hair, a custo which well accord
ed with her rich t obical beauty, and she
moved along with that graceful, undu•
laming motion peculiar to the French
creole.
As she reached the spot opposite to
where the girl stood, she stepped out
from the shadow, and sinking down upon
one knee laid her hand on Josephine's
robe, as if to arrest her progress. •
Poor Marie! during her long and lone
ly walk she had said over and over again
the little sp , echby which she bad hoped
to win the kind heart, of the Empress to
pity and aid her, but as she knelt there,
every word of it vanished from or wind
But those white, quivering lips, the im
ploring impression in thab lifted eyes
spoke volumes, and Josephine looked
down upon them, she ulidetstoed all she
would nay.
Signing the other ladie -, to proceed,
she took the roll of paper Crum her hand
But as her eyes glanced over it her cuun
tenunce fell.
"I fell that I can do nothing f',,r you,
my good girl," she said, turning to tl e
suppliant ; " desertion is an offense that
the Etupeior never pardons."
" U ! Say not so ,
, royal lady !" exclaim
ed' the young girl imploringly. " The
good Fmperor's heart ie over upon to .
you l It was to see'his dying mother, and
after other means had failed." '
Still the Empress shook her head. " It
is a said;"alie but it will be
useless for me to attempt to obtain his
pardon."
As Josephine said this a stifled moan
escaped from the poor girl's lips, the con
vulsive grasp upon her robe relaxed, and
she lay still and pale at her feet.
Alarmed, the Empress beckoning the
gendarme to approach.
"She has fainted," he said as he bent
over her.
"And no,riusdth-,BIe has walked from
the village of L , full eight leagues
since tho break of day."
I, Do you know her ?"
" Yes Madam ; she is Marie Duval, the
betrothed of Henri Laferve, who is to be
'shot tomorrow• morning for desertion."

"Poor child I said the Empress, corn
past•ionately " Take her away, good Jen
na," she added, as the girl began to show
signs of c .nsciousness, " and see that she
has rest and refreshment, and if she be
sufficiently recovered bring her an hour
hence to my private apartment.
The Empress passed along, but the
kind-hearted soldier noticed, with a feel.
ing of satisfaction, that she held the little
roll of paper, while her countenance had
a thoughtful aspect.
Napoleon was seated alone at the table
covered with papers and maps. A cour
ier had just left him, who was evidently
the bearer of good news, for his counte
nance had a pleased, almost exultant
look.
The door opened, and Josephine en•
tered. She paused a moment upon the
thres hold, giving his countenance a
furtive look whose ever varying mood she
learned to read.
" Welcome my good Josephine," said
the'Ewperor holding out his hand to her
Josephine saw that this was a propi
tious tuckent, and playful sinking down on
one knee, she kissed his hand, and
presented him the roll of paper she had
received from the girl.
"•It' it was for any other offence, it
should be granted ; but. as it is. it is im
possible."
" But there are extenuating circum
stances in this case," pleaded Josephine:
" the poor fellow had jest received news
that his mother was just at the point of
death "

would never accept one said
Josephine, with indignant emphasis.
'•;-lhe would surrey die with her lover!" ,
Napoleon again shrugeed his shoulder,
and Look a pineh of snuff.
'•Jly dear friend, such things may be
found in romances, but not in real life.—
I'll wager most anything you like that
he would much prefer living with sonic
young good lookin;r, man, and which I
should find little difficulty in persuading
her to do."
Josephine whispered a few words in her
royal husband's ear.
"Let it be so," he said smiling. "And
now suffer your young proteur to be sum
maned, and I will soon put the truth of
wy assertion to the proof."
The Emperor listened attentively to the
touching , ;lea, broken by tears and sobs
that Marie poured out at his feet. Then
bidding her rise, he said gravely, but
kindly, fur he was touched by the artless
beauty of the suppliant, no less than by
her unfeigned sorrow.
'Tarn sorry, my daughter, that I can
not grant your petition. But I will pro
vide you with another love, and bestow
upon you a bridal dowry besides, which
will do just as well, if' 'not bitter."
-surely you jest, sire," said the young
girl, casting upon him a glance of sorrow
ful surprise. "No one can take Henri's
place in my heart. For the love of mer
cy, spare his life !"
'Me has committed an unpardona
ble offense," was the stern reply, "the
penalty of which is death. He must die!
unless, indeed," he added, in a lower
tone, "sonic substitute be found to suffer
in his stead. -
'blarie caught eagerly at the hope con
veyed by these last words. Again she
!brew herself upon her knees. bathing the
'Emperor's hand with her tears
Would your majesty indeed accept a
substitute ?" she exclaimed. "Let me
take his place then, and suffer fur hire I"
"What I •would you -take his place to
morrow and be shn't in his stead?" in
(piled Napoleon, looking steadily into her
face
"If there is no other way to save his
life, willingly, gladly, sire I" was the fer
vent response. , ,
The Emperor's stern, impassible face
gave no token Of the' feeling that filled
his heart, as he looked Upon the oounte
nano° of the speaker, every, feature of
wit-la was distinct with the fervor of her
heroic soul.
"If you desire it, certainly," he said,
after a mornen,'s pause. "But remem
ber that I am not trifling with you ? One
of you must die 1 You will have ample
time between now and the dawn to de
cide which it shall be." •
OHAPTEXt,II
The next morning rose clear and cloud
less. At the first streaks of dawn, the
largo square in front of the palace was
alive with soldiers, while outside of the
paling, and in every available place wore
crowds of spectators, eager to view what
is so dear 'to every Frenchman's heart
the pomp and circumstance of a military
execution i and in this instance, rumorr,
had reached tho people, that it was
not the real offender that:was: 'be ( ex t .
couted,lidt his affianced wife, who by her
Carlisle, Pa., Friday, November 10, 1865
own free choice was to take his place
made the crowd unusually large. .
Circumstances indicated that it was to
be the scone of more than usual display.
The Emperor himself was present, attend
ed by his staff. Ilia tried and faithful
body guard were drawn up in long array,
together with the whole regiment to which
the culprit belonged.
At the appointed hour, Marie made her
appearance, attended by a priest, and es
corted by a guard of six soldiers. A mur
mur of mingled pity and admiration ran
through the crowd as they noted her ex
treme youth and beauty. Every eye ex
pressed sympathy, excepting, indoeo, the
platoon of soldiers detailed to fire the fa
tal volley ; they alone regarded the scene
with an air of indifference.
Marie's beautiful countenance was pale
but composed, and she walked to the fa
tel spot with a light, firm step. Yet, as
her eye fell upon the coffin, that was ar
ranged so that it would receive her body
as it tell, a visible shudder convulsed her
frame. But it quickly passed away, and
her countenance regained its former ex
pres';6on of holy serenity.
Closing her eyes, her lips moved a mo
ment in voicele'ss prayer; then she signi
fied that she was ready.
Just then one of the Emperor's aids
rode up, and beckoned to the priest, said
a few words to him.
Father GodefrOy immediately returned
to his patient,. "Daughter," he said,
"our good .Empethr sends thee word that
if by courage fail thee, thete is, eveu
now, time to retract
.'Tell the emperor that. I (hank him
honer," returned Mute calmly; '•hu,

ille firm reply; Hoy re,olution is immova
ble, Neither (hamlet with vain and
worldly thoughts the
_soul, that i , fixed
rteadfastly upon that country it is so soon
to etitt-r."
The priest drew back, and one - of the
soldiers approached to bandage her eyes.
At first Maxie demurred, but on being
told that it was indispensable, quietly sub
mitred
Ihring, these proceedings a profound
silence reigned throughout tht.t dense
crowd of peeple, and when the signal to
fire was given, every heart stood still;
even the rough, stern soldiers, accustom-
ed to view death in its most cruel forms
involuntarily, turned their eyes away from
the painful sight.
There was a sharp report of musketry,
and when the smoke cleared away it was
discovered that Marie had fallen forward
upon her face.
The Emperor, who had been a passive
but attentive spectator of all this, instant.
ly spurred his horse to the spot where she
lay.
!" he exclaimed as he
threw himself hurriedly From the saddle,
"can it be that those stupid feltows have
blundered ?'
'She has only fainted, sire," said Fath
er tiodefroy, bending over her, and lay
ing his hand upon her wrist as he spoke
Yet, though the muskets were loacted
with blank eartridges,, so that not a hair
of her head was injured,' for some min
utes Marie lay as still and deathly 11F
though life had indeed departed. When
she unclosed her eyes 4he looked up be
wildered into the face that she had never
thought to see again in life,
"Maria, thy good angel ray saviori
exclaimed bleffriP.,louk up our sufferings
are over! '1 he emperor was but tcstingyour
love, Ile has pardoned the and Father
Godefroy is even now waiting to make us
one."
And before Marie ebuld hardly realize
this happy change in her prospects, she
was a wife.
As ao n as the priest pronounced the
benediction, the Emperor approached .
them.
Overcome with gratitude and joy, they
would have knelt at hie feet, but he pie-
vented them.
"No thanks are duo me," ho said, ad
dressing Hedri. You oliveyoar life neith
er to your own deserts, nor," he added,
his eyes resting kindly on Marip's happy
face, "to dey clemency, but the heroic
courage and devotion of' her, you host

fu,ure conduct, to prove yourself worthy

tion of that time, riiiturufti'tlMsory,ine of
your country: and:remember, hereafter,
that the brave §.oldier never leaves his
post of duty."
Tim meaning of this scene was not
long in passing from lip to lip through
the excited throng of people; and as'Na
poleon ceased speaking, the air rang with
shOuts of "The '1 Empercur 1 0 • "

Pule alcove, where, secure from observa

A ROMAN HERO
• In the war b r etween Rome and Car
thage the consul Regulus was taken cap
tive. He was' kept a close prisoner two
years pining and sickening in his loneli
ness, while in the meantime the war con
tinued, and at last a victory so decisive
was gained by the Romans, that the peo
ple of Carthage were discouraged, and
resolved to ask terms of peace. They
thought that no one would be so readily
listened to at Home as Regulus, and they
therefore sent him there with their en
voys, having first made him swear that
he would come back to his prison if there
should neither be petio l e por an exchange
of prisoners. They little knew how
much more a true hearted Roman card
fur his city than for himself—for his
word than for his life.

The Pvoinau senate, as he would not

meeting in the Canipagna
The entbas--adors spoke first, then Re
gulus, standin g up, said, as one repeat

slave to the Carthagenians, I eonie in
the part of my masters to treat with you
concerning peace, and an exchange of
prisoner," Ile then turned to go away
with the embassadors, as a stranger might
not be present at the deliberations of the
senate. His old friends pi:essed him to
stay and give his opinion as a senator
who had twice been consul ; but he re
fused to degrade that dignity by Aim
ing it, slave as he was. But, at the com
mand of his Carthagenian masters, he
remained, though not taking his seat.
Then he spoke- He told the senators
to persevere in war. lie said that he
had seen the distress of Carthage, and
that a peace would be only to her ad
vantage, not that of Rome, and, there
fore, he strongly advised that -the war
should continue. Then, as to the ex•
change of prisoners, the Carthagenian
generals, who were in the hands of the
Romans, were in full health and strength
whilst he himself was too much broken
down to be fit fur service again, and in
deed he believed that his enemy had giv
en him a slow poison, and that he could
not live long. Thus lie insisted that no
exchange of prisoners should be made.

hear a man thus pleading against him.

The story of Garibaldi's wooing in..
this :—He was one day sitting in the
cabin of a sloop •on the lake of Santa
Catharine, and looking toward the'sliore,
when suddenly he saw, at a farm house
situated on'a neighboring hill, three or
,four,girls busily, engaged in domestic, du
ties. They were all reinarkable for beau
ty but one, in particular errested his,

tention for her uncommon grebe and
loveliness. He was still watching them
when he reeeived an order too miebore.
Immediately,on:lan.ding, he directed his

owner, whom he happened to know slight
ly, having met him once before.
The impul.4e which had prompted him
to go to the house was to address the girl
he had so admired. On seeing her, he
immediately besought her to become his
wife. The girl, it seems, conceived an
affection as warm and sudden has he had
felt for her; and after the lapse of a few
short days they wore man and wife. The
surname of this lovely Brazillian girl of
the province of Santa Cat haring, who
became, under such peculiarly romantic
circumstances, the wife of Garibaldia,
has never been revealed. In all the bi
ographies of our hero she is alone men
tioned by her Christian name of Amita.
She seems to have been a brunette of a
rich, warm complexion, with black and
piercing eyes; of a beautifully rounded
figure, and a sort of queenly majesty of in

and in every respect worthy of being the
companion for life of such a an as Gar--

Her courage was remarkable. A short
time alter tlreir marriage she went through
an engagement at sea, with her husband,
refusing to go ashore and during the
fight; would stay nowhere but on deck,
where she wielded a carbine and chewed
the men. In the heat of the battle she
was standing ou deck, flourishing a sabre,
and inspiring the men to deeds of valor,
she was knocked down by the wind of a
cannon ball that killed two wen standing
close b) her side. tlartbaldia was sco-ing

THE FIOU RE NINE -ThiS is a peculiar
figure, with which numerous tricks may
be performed. Not to mention the fact
that the fundamental rules of arithmetic
are proved by the figure nine, there are
among others the following curiosities
copneeted with the figure.
Add together as many nines as you
please, and the figures indicating the
amount when added together, will be 9 or
9 repeated. The same is true in multiply
ing any number of times—the sum of
the figures in the product will be nine or
a number of nines—For instance—
Twice 9 arc 18-1 and 8 are 9.
Three times 9 are 27-2 and 7 are 9.
Four times 9 are 36-3 and 6 are 9.
And so on until we come to 11 times
9 are 99 ; here we have 2 nines, or 18,
but 1 and 8 are 9.
Twelve times 9 are 108-1 and 0 and
8 are 9.
The curious student may carry this on
still further for amusement-
Another curiosity , is exhibited in these
different products of the 9 when multi•
plied by the digits, as fbllows :
The nine digits, 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7,8,
9, when added, amount to s.times 9; or
instead of adding, multiply the middle
figure by the last, and the amount will
be the mysterious nines, or 45, and 4

Unahppy Marriages among men of
Genius.
The rare occurrence of genius (says On
English paper) with domestic comfort is
perfectly awful. Take Dante, the exile,
who left his wife, never wishing to see
i,er more ; Tasso, wifeless ; Petraroh,
wifeless; Ariosto, wifeless; Milton, thrice
married, but only once with much com
fort; Dryden, wedded, like Addison, to
a title and discord ; Young lives alone till
past fifty; Swift's marriage is no mar
riage; Sterne's, Churchill's, Byron's.
Coleridge's marriages, broken and unhap
py. Then we have a set of celebates—
Herrick, Cowley, Pope, Thompson, Prior.
Gay, Shenstone, Gray,'Akenside, Gold

Every individual in society is expectcd
to cont r ib u t e something to its advance
ment and interest. We remember to
have read, years ago, of a company of
tradesmen, who had united theouselves
together in a mutual benefit society, and
each one had to relate_ what he coulu
contribute to its support First the black
smith came forward and said.
"Gentleman, I wish to become a mem
ber of your association ?"
Well, what ca❑ you do?"
"Oh, I can iron yuur carriages, shoe
your hornet), and make all kinds of iwple
['lents."
"Very well ; come in, Mr. Black
smith."
The mason applied for admisdion into
the society.
"And what can you do, sir?''
"I can build your barns and houses,
stables and bridges."
"Very well, come in ; we cannot do
without yoq."
Along comes the shoemaker, and says;
"I wish to become a member of your
society."
'f Well what can you dot"
"1 can make boots and shoes for you.'
"Come in, Mr. Shoemaker, we mus
have you."
In turn all the differnt trades and pro
fessions applied, till lastly, an individua
canoe in who wanted to become a mem
bar.
"And what are you?"
"I am a rum-seller."
"A rum-SePer ! and what can yon do?"
"I can build jails and prisons,and poor
houses."
"And is that ail?"
"No, I can fill them ; I can fill your
jails with criminals, your prisons with
convicts, and your poor houses with pan•

"And what else can you do?"
"I can b.i ig the gray hairs of the aged,
to the grave with sorrow; I can break
the heart of the wife, and blast the pros
