nbibed a furious hostility against the ourbon race, and ardently desired its exnction. It has been alleged that there ere special personal reasons for his anilosity against the Duke de Berry. Louvel was by trade a saddler, and at ae time, employed in that capacity in le Imperial household, and a story attined wide circulation, after he had kill1 the Duke, that on one occasion, in [eta, the latter was trying a saddle, and ^served: "They make better ones than lis in England." ""Why don't you stay lere, then?" said Louvel, when the rince greatly irritated, struck him severi times with a whip. But this story is imewbat apocryphal, and the main rea>n of the murder would seem to have ?en simply the desire to extinguish the ice for which he had conceived so insane hatred. He said himself that he comlenced with the Duke as the youngest, id would have killed all if he could. Louvers object was not to be accomlished, though, for that matter, it might ave tenderd to remove one element of iscord in France. At the time of his rime the Duchess de Berry was enceinte, ad in the following September she gave irth to a boy. This son, commonly called if ant du miracle, born under such melanloly circumstances, was fated in his auth to a chequered career. At his birth 3 received the title of Duke of Bordeaux, j an acknowledgement of that city's de)tion to the fortunes of his house; but r I- _ 1 J _ aa J LI- i iL a.

(fly Jove: it was a steep one!) Fire hundred notes (I calculate,) Was certainly a deep one; And yet it died?of slow declinePerhaps suspicion chilled it; Pre quite forgotten if'twas mine Or Mary flirting killed it! At last the f ital message came: "My letters please return them And yours?of course you wish the same? I'll send them back or burn them." Two precious fools, I must allow, Whichever was the greater, I wonder if I am wiser now, Some seven lustres later? And this alone remains! Ah, well! These words of warm affection, The faded ink, the pungent smell, Are food for deep reflection, They tell of how the heart contrives To change with fancy's fashion, And how a drop of musk survives The strongest of human passion! ?Harper'I for November. The Count de Chambord. On the 13th of February, 1820, the >uke de Berry, second son of the Count ' Artois, afterwards Charles X., who as brother of Louis XVI.; had just &nded his charming wife into her carage at the royal entrance to the operaouse, in Paris, and stood for a moment > see the carriage drivsfff, when he sudenly felt himself wounded. The Duchis, on the point of starting, saw the deed :>ne. In an instant she stopped the carage, and, without waiting for the steps ?be lowered, took her husband in her rms, while her dress became steeped in is blood. His murderer was a man named ouvel, a devoted Napoleonistr who had

Bemember the time will soon come when the hands are folded and yon can help each other no more. So live that when the parted circle meets again, and hearts and souls are blended- once more, it shall be well with you all. Why are sheep the least moral of the animals??Because they gambol in their youth, spend much of their time on the turf, many of them are blacklegs, and they all get fleeced at last. A colored preacher, in discoursing to his people on the efficacy of earnest prayer, delivered himself in this manner: "I tell you, bredren, 'tis what gibs de debil de lock-jaw I" ?"Tell that man to take off his hat in court," said the judge, the other morning, to an officer. The offender, who turned out to be a lady wearing the fashionable sailor hat, indignantly exclaimed: "I am no man, Sirl" "Then," said his honor, "I am no judge." ?The witty John Clark, the barrister, who was lame, overheard a lady remark to a friend, "That's John Clark, the lame lawyer." Mr. Clark, who was passing along the street, turned round, and addressing the lady said: "No, madam, I'm a lame man, but not a lame lawyer."

scarcely made itself felt. Ia 1848 there seemed a chance, but Louis Napoleon sue* cessfully parried it, now some men think there is another. We are not ot that opinion, even supposing that the fusion so much talked of lately between the Bourbon and Orleans families could be brought about, we do not believe that the sovereignty of France would rest five years in such hands as those of the Count de Chambord. France is a country which can henceforward be governed only by men ot strong personal qualities. Grace, affability, and personal accomplishments are not the article most in demand for her throne. It is a thousand pities that this amiable person should have been afficted with a blind belief in bis regal destinies. But for this he would probably have been one of the happiest of men. This age has, as Lord Macaulay once observed, been full of warning to the ambitious, and consolation to the drear. But Moses and the prophets were not enough for the rich man's brethren, and French history since 1789 is not, it appears, a cure for the Count de Chambord's ambition, if the re -

queen there; let the husband yield to her; her judgment is best in all connected with it, and let him not too selfishly desire his own way, or too arbitrarily demand his legal rights. The home is especially a school; it calls for concessions from both, and it requires that the two shall become one in spirit as well as in fiesh. There are natures, it is true, which are of so uncongenial a character that separation finally becomes a necessity. Divorce is a curse, and the readiness with which it may be procured is one of the most alarming evils of our social life. Marriage is education; it is in the husband's power, out of his superior strength, to supplement the wife's deficiencies, and from her he may obtain that refinement and purity which is peculiarly the gift of woman. The husband may be the sufferer, too, but less frequently; he may miss a true sympathy with his aims, pursuits and ambitions. When the wife is but an ornamental appendage, and is content to live for fashion and vanity, indulging in petty slights and

port now universally current can be relied upon. The best friends of the Count de Chambord are those who will succeed in convincing him that he hasn't a chance of a crown. How Swedish Houses are Built in Maine. % "Only one framed house in all New SwedenI" "For goodness' sake, how then are they made?"?writes a correspondent of the Boston Post from the Swedish Colony in Maine. Mostly of hewn timber, neatly dovetailed together, with partitions, ceilings, and floors of evenly-planed cedar plank. The dwellings erected by the State were of round, peeled logs, laid one upon , another; but these the Swedes found rather chilly and disagreeable upon the advancement of cold weather, and improved them by hewing both the inside and outside walls, filling in the spaces with moss, and then closing them up with matched strips of cedar. A matched board ceiling overhead was the next addition, with a double plank, smoothly-planed floor underr~ -t. 1 it u.iL _ ? J nA.t.

They are all a story and a half high, with square pitched roofs, giving ample room for chambers,# and in dimensions extensive enough to admit one large general front room, a good sized bed room, and convenient pantry upon the ground floor. The windows are small, with little panes of glass, and the only outside door opens directly into the front room. The interior walls of nearly all the houses have been prettily papered by the thrifty housewives, and with the spotlessly clean floors and ceilings look by no means unattractive. Tables, chairs, cradles, rustic-bedsteads, and a thousand and one useful and ornamental articles appear on all sides, happily constructed by Swedish diligence and ingenuity, from curiously twisted roots and bits of board; pretty patchwork quilts, plump white ruffled pillows, white covered
