It happened, some days after ihtt this young lady was thrown into a state borde'ingon distraction, bv. the ar rest ami imprisonment ot her husband, wtio.was conducted to the tower, as a traitor to the government. The agonized wife fl.'w to the Lord Pntector, rushed through his guards, threw herself at bis feet, and with the most pathetic elo eloquence, - quence, eloquence, pleaded for the life and inn 'Cence of in r injured husband. His Highness maintained a severe brow, till the peti petitioner, - tioner, petitioner, overpowerfl by the excess of her feelings, and the energy with which she had expressed - them, paused ; then his s ero couuteuance relaxed into a sraile.and extending to her an order or the imnWi an liberation, of ber husband, he" said."

As Napoleon was inspecting, .with a pleased eye, lie ranks of him Imperial LGusrd. ho paused before a remarkably powerful-looking -grenadier, whose fare was teatd from the fort head to the chin by a doep war. Pointing him out to the Em per Alexander, Napoleon said : What do you think of ihe soldiers who can resist euch wounds !' 4 W hat do you think of the soldiers who can g re them!' said .Alexander, readily. 'They are dead.' said the grenadier ; thus mingling in the conversation of the two most powerful monarchs in the world, r Alexander then turning towards his mighty rival aaid, courteously : . Sir, you are everywhere a conqueror Because the Guard has done its dutv, replied Napoleon, with a friendly ges gesture - ture gesture towards the grenadier.' , 'A few days afterwards, as the Emper Or i f France was passing through the camp, he saw the grenadier, seated on n stone, with his legs crossed, and dancing a chubby boy of two years old on his foot. Napoleon paused before him, and the old soldier, without rising, said S Pardon, sir but if I stood up', Jaquet would scream like one of the King of Prussia's lifers , and that would annoy your Majesty.' Tie we I f taid Napoleon. That's the reason they call this Utile fellow Jacquet.' He is your son.' No, my Emperor; his father was an old comiade of mine, who had his leg shot off, two months ago, and died on the field. His mother who followed the camp, was killed by a sabre cut while she was giving her husband a drink. JShe had this baby tied' on her back; and we found him, some hours after her death, roaring like a young hull, with his stomach as emptv as the King of Spain's coffers. 'Then you have odopte' the child V 'I and my comrades. But as I whs the first to find him, they have given him es especially - pecially especially to me.' 'Napoleon looked for a moment at the grenadier, who continued 10 give Jacquet a lesson in riding, and then said : I owe you something, Jacquet.. Me, my Emperor? You have already given me a cioss for this scar.' ' 'I owe you some return for what you said to the Emperor Alexander.' Did I say anything uncivil to that Em Emperor - peror Emperor ? Has he complained of me?' No, certainly; for I am going to re reward - ward reward you. Come ! What do you wish for?' M& foi, replied Jacques, 'I don't wish for anything; hut, my Emperor, if you would ju-it give some token to this little chap, it wou'd firing him good luck. Willingly,' waa the reply. And Jac Jacques, - ques, Jacques, rising, took ihe child in his arm arm, and approached Napoleon, who was searching his pockets for some souvenir. He found some gold pieces, which he quickly put back; for il was not with money thai he purchased his soldiers' hearts. He sought again, and found noth ing but papers. At length, in the pocket of his vest he found his snuff-box, and of. f red it to the grenadier. Jacques began to laugh, and said . What nonsense ! - Give a snuff box to a child that can't; even smoke !". .,-...' At that moment the Emperor felt some thing pull at his hat; and he saw that the child, raised on the grenadier's arms, had got his tiny hand into. the loop, and was playing with the cockade, Hold, sir, said the grenadier. - The ittle fellow is like your Majes y; he takes whatever he chooses to himself.

They've borne with them full many a pearl, and hidden neath the wave Of time full many a treasure which worlds could . never save; Some have witnessed tears of sorrow, like dew dew-drops - drops dew-drops o'er the lawn ; And other hours exhaled them like the sun the dew at morn.

THE OLD COCKADE. In the year 1831, I was spending an evening at the house of a General, who had been one of Napoleon's bravest offi officers. - cers. officers. There were smne other gues s, and we were chatting sociably around the fire, when M. Louis Jacquet was announced, end we saw an extremely hand ome y. ung officer of Marines emer. He seemed o be about twenty-two years old ; his ensigns uniform evidently quite new was put on with much care and neat neatness. - ness. neatness. One portion of his costume, how however - ever however contrasted oddly enough with the rest. In the black, glossy cap which he carried in his hand was fastened an old, 8 iled faded cockade. Involuntarily many eyes glanced curiously at this in incongruous - congruous incongruous decoration ; and our host, in a whisper, drew his wife's attention to this circumstance j to which she replied by a gentle smile. M. Jacquet blushed deep deeply, - ly, deeply, yet not with an air of shame or con fusion, but rather with one of genuine modesty. A ad the General, taking his hand, said : ... ,- " . ..' ., You. are a brave lad, Louis. " ' The General's wife then- took his hand ; and the young officer kissed hers, with respectfu. tenderness. 1 7 his little scene in erested us all, yet no one ventured to ask. its explanation ; when an old officer, who had been rather silent hitherto, suddenly rose, and said io our host : 'So this your Jacquet, General $ and M ia ihe real cockade !' ; And taking that cap from iu owner's hand-, he looked t iU battered ornament with strange fondness, while a tout rolled down on his gaay moustache, Every one present then crowded-round to ixamine the mysterious cockade, and asked the General to tell its history. 'As he hesitated, the Id ofEcer said ; 'Tta a, awry which T am sure will iu terest you ; and with ihe' permissibn o our host and his young friends, I will tel. It.' - i,i- --V.V-il-
