bathe, listen all, While I relate
What recently befel
Untos farmer down in Maine)
While digging of a well.
Full many a ,yard dug and delted,
And still he dug in vain;
nAlaelc l" quoth he, "e'en water seems
Vfohibited in !deltic!"
AO still he dug and delved away,
And still the well was dry;
Thb only water to be found- -
\Vas le-the fartaer's eyes
For by the breaking of tilt) banit
That tumbled from its station,
All suddenly hisjzope was dashed
f future liquidation !
And now his sands Were running fast;
•
And .hehad died, no doubt,
But that just when the earth caved in,
lie happened to be out
•
have happy thought!"
Exclaimed thejwicited Man—,
. To dig anew this cured well
I see a pretty :'plan:
!q.'ll hide me straight, and when my wife
And e'en my net p bors know
What'd happened to my di ping here,
They'll think that I'm below!
"And so to save l my precious life,
They'll dig the well no doubt,
E'en. deeper than t'sris duo at first,
13efore thty find me out!"
And so he hid him in the barn
Through all, the hungry day,
To hide the digging of his well
In this deceitful way.
l3at Est what grief and shame befel 1
The false, ungrateful man,
The while he slowly watched td coo
The working af his . plan I
The neighbors all with ono accord
Lrnto each other said.
"With such a weight of earth above,
The mar. is surely dead."
And then, his Wife with Tions care;
All needless ',cost to Bare,
Said "Since the Lord bath willed Ft so
E'en let it hepais grave !"
THE 7/101".4L WAGER.
"The bell for vespers has just rung,
and the Empri will pass around the
corridors in the course of ten minutes.
,She will be attended by the princess
'Hortense arid two ladies in waiting, !but
you will readily recognize her, for she is
tall r than the others, and will walk a
litt e in advanCe."
hus spoke the tall and fierce looking
gen lanne, a good natured look of concern
upon his honest face As he glanced down
upon the slight form at
. his side, whose
youthful face 'gleamed , out still and pale
from the shadows that were thickly gailf!
Bring, and whose singular beauty. -was
rendered more' conspicuous ;by a pair of
dark, lustrous eyes, which , had rt wad,
besechin ,, expression, more eloquent
than words.
The pale lips moved, as if to expross
her thanks but they gave forth no audi
ble- sound.
"Hist 1 she is coming'?" exclainsed ithe
guard, as his quick ear caught the sound
of approaching footsteps.
"Courage, mon enfant," he added; as
the young girl leaned up against the Cor
ners of the corridor, trembling in every
limb, "Oro 'good Empress is like a mother
to her. people."
As he said.this, he hastily resitured
his post, and when the Empress Made
her appearance, was pacing backwards
and forwards With his monotonous tread,
a stolid look upon his countenance; as
though ho was the mere machine that
the discipline to which he was subjetited
was intended to make him.
Joephine, then in the zenith of her
char s, ivas attired with her usual ele
gaucb inn robe of black velvet, whose
' heavy folds swept the floor; rubies gleam
ed upon her, bosom, and in the heavy
braids of her clOsky hair :a costume which
well accorded: with her rich tropical
beauty, and she moved along with that
graceful, undUlating motion peculiar to
the French creole.
As she resehed the spOt opposite to
where the girl stood, she stepped out
from the shadbw, and sinking down upon
one knee, laid , her hand upon Josephine's
robe, as if to arrest he'r progress.
Poor Marie, I daring her long and lonely
walk she had !said over and over again
the little speech, by which she had biped
tho kind heart of the Empres's to
pity and aid,ber, but as she knelt there,
every word or it vanished from her mind.
But those white, quivering lips the im
ploring expression in those lifted eyes
spoke volumes, and when Josephine
loOked down Upon them, she under Stood
all she wonl4 , Say.
Signing the other ladies to probeed,
she took the roll of paper from her hand.
But as her eye glanced over it, her coun
tenance fell.!
"I fear that I can do'notbing for yon,
my good girl," she said, turning to the
suppliant; "desertion is an offence that
the Emperor never pardons."
"0 say not So, royal lady !" exclaimed

COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PAR, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 5,1855;
_ ,
Emperor's heart is ever open to you .
It was to see his dying mother, and after
every other means had failed I"
Still the Empress shook her head. "It
is a hard case, she said, "but it will be
useless', for me to attempt to obtain his
pardon!'
As Josephine said this, 'a stifled moan
escaped from the poor lips, the con.
vulsive grasp upon her robe relaxed, and
she lay still and pale at her feet.
Alarmed the .Empress beckoned the
gendarme to approach.
"She has fainted," he said, as he bent
over her. , ‘And no wonder; she has
walked from the village of L— full
eight leagues, since thebreak of day."
Do you know her 7"
"Yes, Madame; .she is' Marie Duval,
the betrothed of Henri Laferve, who is to
be shot to-morrow morning for desertion."
"Poor child I" said the Empress, corn
passiona/ely. "Take her away, good
Jenaa " she added, as the girl began to
show signs of consciousness,"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
t' orsatisfaction, that she held closely
inher:hand 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 cou
rier bad 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 thresh
old, giving his countenance a furtive
look, whose ever varying mood she had
learned so well to read.
"Weqome, my good Josephine," said
the Emperor,holding out his hand to her.
Josephine saw that this was a propi
tious moment, and, playfully sinking
down upon cue kneeishe kissed his hand,
saying t , -
"I have a petition, sire."
Napoleon took the paper she held out
to him, bat as he understood its purport,
the smile died from his lip, and he handed
it back to her, saying t
"If it was for any other, offense ) it
should be granted; but as it is, it is im
possible."
"'gut there are extenuating circum•
stances in this case,", pleaded Josephine;
poor fellow had just received news
that his mother was at the pointef death."
"That was no excuse. The soldier has
no mother s a ve France! he owes his first
duty to her
"Ah,if you could only see his betrothed
wife, sire, I know your heart would re.
lent. She has traveled on foot from the
villan'e of L---= since daybreak, to plead
•for her lover's life. Pont. girl! II fear
that she will not sarvive,lit '
The Emperor shruggOd his - shotildets.
"We must try to console her," he said,
dryly.; "by seeing if we cannot grant'her
another husband."
"She would neicr Went, one t" said
-
Josephine, with indignant emphasis.--
"She would sooner die kith her lover !"
Napoleon again shrugged his shoulders
and took a pinch of snuff.
"My dear Mend s such thing's may be
found in romances, but not in real life.
I'll wager most dnythitig pat like that
she would much prefer living with some
young, good-looking 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," lie said, smiling. "And
now suffer your. young protege to s be sum- ,
moned, and I will soon put the truth of
my assertion to the proof:"
The Emperor listened attentively to
the touching ' plea, broken by tears and
sobs that Marie' poured out i at his feet.
Then bidding her rise, he said gravely,
bnt kindly, for he Was touched by the
artless beauty, of the suppliant, no less
than by her unfeigned sorrow
"I am sorry, my daughter, that I can
not grant your petition, But I will pro
vide you with another lover, and bestow
upon you a bridal dowry beside ; which
will do just as well, if not better."
"Surely you jest, sire," said the young
girl, casting upon'himi a look of
- sorrow
ful surprise. "No one can take Henri's
place in, my heart. For the lovo (if
mercy, spare his life 1"'
"Ile
"He has committed an unpardonable
offence," was the stern reply ; "the Pen
alty of.which is death: He must die !
Unless, indeed," lie added, in a lower
tone, "some substitute be found to suffer
in his stead."
Marie caught eagerly — at the hope con
veyed by these last words. Again she
threw 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 for him !"
"What ! would jyou take his place to
morrow: and be shot in his stead ?"
glared Napoleon, looking steadily into
her face.
If there is no other way to save his
gladly,, sire'!" was the fer
vent response. -
The Emperor's stern, impassible face
~o-ave no token of the feelings that filled
his heart, as he looked upon the counts,
nance of the speaker, every feature of
which was instinct with the fervor of her
heroic soul. _
;all you desire it, cert*'nly," he said,
ate, amoment's pause. l'But remember
thht run not trifling with you' One of
yo l n must die ! You will have ampleiime
between now and the dawn Of day to de.
tide which it shall be."
The next morning rose clear and cloud
lesS. At, the first streaks of dawn, thp
large square in front of the palace was
alive with soldiers, while outside of the
paling, and in every available place were
crowds of spectators, eager to view what
is so dear to, every Frencman's heart,the
pomp and circumstance of a military exe
cution ; and in this instance, rumors that
had reached the people,that it was not
t 1 e real offender that was to be executed,
b 11
t;his affianced wife, who by hei rown,
free choice was to take his place, made
the crowd unusually large.
Circumstances indicated that it was to
be the scene] of more than Usual display.
The Emperor himself was present,attend
ed by his staff. His 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, I\l - aria made
I her appearance, attended by a priest, and
escorted by a guard of six soldiers. A
' murmur of mingled pity and admiration
ran through the crowd as they noted her
extreme youth and beauty. Every, eye
expressed sympathy, excepting, indeed,
the platoon of soldiers detailed to fire the
fatal volley; they alone regarded the
scene with au air of indifference.
but
beautiful countenance was pale
but c3mposed, and she walked' to the
fatal spot with a light firm step. Yet, as
her eye fell upon the eoffin, that was ar
ranged so that it wduld receive her body
as it fell, a visible shudder convulsed her
frame. But it quickly' passed away, and
her countenance regainedits former ex
pression of holy serenity.
Closing her eyes, her lips moved a few
moments in voiceless prayer, then- she
signified that she tiTas ready.,
iTust then one of the Emperor's aides
rode up and beckoning to the priest. ) said
a few words to him. 1 ,
Father God fray iazoiediately Moiled
to his patient. "Daughter," he said "our
good Emperor sends thee word that if thy
coaran fails thee there is, even how,
•
time to retract."
"Tell the F;Mpel'Ot that I than him,
father," returned Mario calmly; but that
it' is easier for me to die for my. bettothect
than to live without him_?"
"But bethink thee,daughter," fibrsista
the good priest, "this is a terrible fate.
Life is sweet, especially to the young.
The Emperor empowers me to offer to
thy acceptance another lover, equal, in
every respect, to the one thou wilt lose,
and a bridal dowry. Bush not from so
fair r, prospect to eo cruel teath.'i.
"Urge me no more, holy father,'' "Was
the firm reply; my resolution is immtnov.
able. Neither distract by vain and
worldly thoughts the sotil, that is fixed
steadfastly' upon that country it is so
soon to enter.
The priest back,drewc anti one of the
soldiers approached to bandage her eyes.
At first Marie demurred, but on being
told that it was indispensable, quietly
submitted.
_ Euring, these proceedings a profound
silence reigned throughout that dense
crowd of people, and when the signal to
fire was given / every, heart stood still;
even the rouglOtern soldiers accustomed
to view death In its most cruel forms,
involuntarily turned their eyes away from
the pitiful sight. I
There was a sharp report of musketry;
and when the smoke Cleared away it was
discovered that Mario had fallen forward
upon her face. •
The Emperor, who had been a passive
but attentive spectator of all this, in
stantly spurred his horse to the spot
where she lay;
11 1fon Dieu 1" he exclaimed, as he
threw himself hurriedly from the saddle,
"can it be that those stupid fellows have
blundered!" II
"She has only fainted, your majesty,"
said father Godefroy, bending over her,
laying his hand upon her vrxist as he spoke.
Yet, though the muskets were loaded
with blank earkidges, so that not a hair
of her head was injured, for some min
:rites Marie lay as still and deathly, as
though life had indeed departed. When
she unclosed her eyes she looked uplbe•
wildered into the face that she had never
thought to see again in life.
"Marie '
my good angel ! my savior !"
exclaimed Henri; "look up, all our suf
feriu-s are over ! The Emperor war.. but
testing your love. Ho has pardoned me,
and father Godefroy is even now waiting
to mike us one."
And before Marie could hardly realize
this - happy change in. her prospects she
was a wife.
AS aeon`as the priest had plonotticed
the benediction; the Emperor approached
them. Overcome with gratitude and joy,
they would haiO knelt at his feet, but he
prevents(' therm - •
"No thanks are due me," lid said, ad
'dressing Henri. Yorr owe your life nei
ther to your own deserts; nor" he added,
his eyes resting kindly upon hap
py face, "to any clemency, butte the he
roic courage - and devotion of her you have
just' called wife. Endeavor, in all your
future conduct, to prove yourself worthy
of her I 1 give you a mouth's furlough,
in which to enjoy your honeymoon; to ,
which the Einpress adds five thousand
francs, as a dowry to your bride. At the
expiration of that time, return to the
service ,304 . yourlcountry ; and remember,
hereafter, that the brave soldier never
leaves his post Of duty."
The theaning clf this scene was not long
in poising from lip to lip through the
excited throng of people; and as Napoleon
ceased speaking, the air rung with shouts
of "riae'd Empereur 1"
But Napoleon quickly withdrew to the
little alcove, where, seem.° from observa
tionoTosephine, had' itinessed the triumph
of her protege.l
"You have iron," ho said, smiling.—
"But how is it," he added, "that you read
the heart of this Simple maiden so much
better than I
"I judged her by my own heart sire.
This lovely peasant girl has done nothing
that I would not gladly do for thee I"
"My good Josephine I" said the Em
peror, pressing affectionately her hand in
his, "I believe it l"
A few years hence, when upon a lonely
island,forsaken by all his summer friends,
rho whom he Iliad ejected from his heart
and throne, wrote to him for permission
to share his eille, did Napoleon receive
another voof of that, self-sacrificing de
votion thatls seldom found save in the
heart of Womitn,

A k E3iALE calisEi.
About 040 1 months ago a young girl of
pleasino• 100 s' and address came herd
from New Yrk city. At first she did
duty as a ; hotel Waiter, and after, through
some means or other, got a situation at
the varieties, Where she presided over the
cigar stand. There her good looks, and
winning Ways [ obtained her numerous 1
customers, aii.d She drove ii brisk business.
In many eases her fascinated patrons re
fused to take any ehange,and thus "Miss
Addie"---forlthat was her name-=throve
apace in her wnp right, and managedto
pick hp any amount of pin inoney.- , - - -=
Addie's admirers, frcm the first were nu
merous; buti eventually they began to
besiege her in droves ; so that often the
eigaristand Nilould draw better than the
stage! itself. She was an accomplished
coquette, and thus had a smile for each
and every on: of the crazy crew at her
feet. Her smiles were by no means con
fined to the young, for gray hairs were
found worshiping at her shrine, as often
as, the fair leOks of youth. Among those
who wooed h i ler were old bachelors, and
Young Ainerra, and men of family, and
widowers., iir brainless fops -and boys
whose chits id not even made acquaint
ance with awn. And the attentions to
which she was treated Were by to means
etned to the wordy class. No, indeed I
sti stantials in abundance fell, to her lot.
O!Mr. So-dnd-so gave her a new dress,
an
j i
"old badh" So-so' presented her
wit seveialt,Pairs of pocket handkerchiefs
an fast So-and•so sent her two pairs of
sil gaiters, , hrid several pairs of Alexan
der's best, while Master S'o-and-so - gave
her an order for a new helmet. Then,
too, seardelia day passed! that she was
not taken out to ride behind a pair of
fist nags, With usual accessories of ice
cream '
' strawberries ' and dream, Roman
punch, &e. ; ; . - .
Thus things tent on—from the time
of her appearance at the Varicties,in this
roseate way,initil a few days ago, when
the astounding discovery was made that
"Miss Addle" Was a man ! of course the
manager and her crowd of admirers were
both aStounded, and, inclined to doubt
their senses; but it turned out that she
was a man.
Ithe run_ man stated that for fourteen
years he had worn the !garb of a woman,
in which Oise his fair'and pleasing loots
had materially assisted him: In fact, he
looks as much likea woman when dressed
in male attire as when dressed bonnet and
gown. In New York he played the part
of "pretty 'waiter girl" at a .I3roadway
Varieties, remaining ihero until the wait
er girls were "crushed," when ho came
hither.
,Since the discovery of his ruse
he has IgOde on the stage, and appears
each evening at the Varieties in 'part
first.' "Truth is stranger than fiction."
