in Tb* glittering aimor and noble
-torse assert exalted rank, but beneath the

ihg smile , thrre is a frow?', forjthe Knight has
been riding in searoh ot distinction tor days,
and as yet no romance or adventure has befal
len. As the light fades slowly away, a sense of
loneliness creeps over the solitary wanderer, for
the .#t moustache upon his ruby lip snows
manhood just attained, and his attractive face
and figure and winning manner have long en
deared him to court and Lover; and this is his
first adventure, alone.
Tue dark tnick wood is behind him, in the
open space he ascends a hill, and ever as he
«des Le scans eaoh nook or cleft of trees, for

»iuoe early morn the Kuight has been in the

** OI \ redC ^* n 8 spot from w'ueuoe cue light
emed to proceed, he scans in vain the tnick
»od which he has entered, nor is there sign of
iman presence, save on the hill above him,
lere toe battlements of a rained c&btie glitter
tbe floods of moonlight.
'•The light must havolieen there,” so at last
icoveriDg tracks in^the muddy soil, the
light follows them to the bank of a black
impish stream. The heavy branches hanging
r its sides oonoeal the opposite landing place.
%| plunging into the rushes his hoise reaches
other side, and here,taking a pate, he picks
$®ay up the winding hill and aoross the
level sward, nntil he comes to a deep moat out
side the crumbling castle walls. He follows
this sound, past the ruined araey with its hell
ringing in the breeze, past the lonely waten
tower where no sentry greets him, until a
ruined drawbridge enables him to cross the
moat and enter a courtyard once paved, but
□ow broken and grassy, aud belore him the
light which shortly Beemed a Will o’ Wisp is
blazing in an obscure and seemingly modern
poition of the mansion. At the cail of tbe
K light, a man comes out and demands his pur
pose.
“I am a traveler.” replied the Knight and seek
food aud Iodising for myself and horse."
The man at first expresses decided opposition
to his entering, but with bis captivating manner
ihe Knigut so ingratiates himseif that opposi
te on yields to hesitation, and hesitation to con
sent. *
‘■flZour lordship can enter,*’ is the man’s ex-
prtjs-ed conclusion, “and 1 will tend your Lorse. '

“Be it so then,” she answered in gracious
accents ; most gratefully we aocept the honor of
your Bervice. But you were just 8 rated. Re
turn my lord and eat, for attending us will give
you need for food.” Then rising she added,
‘•for a brief period wig nust retire to meditate.
Until we meet again may heaven keep you

ed her dainty hand which the Knight pressed
to his lips as he quislioned.
“And your slumbers then will not be entrus

dwell on your charms?”
“At your lordship’s leisure,” responded the
lady “yon shall visit our apartments. Eat then
noble Knight and shortly I will sand my squire
to bring you to my oonfideuoe,” having spoken
whicp she bowed low and with royal grace and
diguity left the room followed by the old man
and ih3 young Kuight’s eyes.
“Heaven be praised for this mission,” ex-
olairn d the Knig.it, “and bless my efforts for
this vision so strangely sad' and beautiful,’

thonghis when the old squire entered.
“My lady is waiting to receive you sir.”
‘ L ai on good Squire and I will follow,” ex
claimed the Kuight, and he hastened to the in
terview which he so eagerly awaited.
Tue crumbling fresco lay in heaps upon the
ruined floor, the laded paintings on the walls
seemed a mockery to earthly grandeur, and a
portion of a crucifix hanging to Ihe wall, these
and other evidences of wreck, all infl uenced the
two strangers to their m-Innobo y s i>r lundings
“Alas” exclaimed the Kuight. “how soon are
all earthly names and taberuse'es dissolved.”
“My lord !” replied the old mar, in this same
hall where we are standing now I tallowed some
fifty years ago, the noblest train that over
thronged a court, but tiiH sadocs* of voice snits
belter to my age than yours. Enj »y my lord,
the strength and glory of your manhood, for
where you laugh aud dance the merry night
away, yonr children will hereafter stand and
weep, and half a century will scarce have passed,
ere strangers will - r ai the ruins of tour former
splendor and lightly ask the story of your
mound.” They moved along through the long
lark halls and galleries, until the old man
opening a door announced “my lord,” and the
Kuight entering found bimse : f in the presence
of that beautiful sad vision. Tue room to which
he was admitted seemed one adjoining a lady's
bower. Through the window the moon was
s-en riding full and clear, aud lighting up the
rugged boldness of the castle turrets aud em
brasures. Oa a a lonely watch tower a solitary
bird bad withdrawn from his companions ia the
foliage, and was pouring out his song to night.
Tue walls of the chamber were ftioged with
dark and. sombre drapery falling now in faded
rags. Upon the wall the picture of some dead
warrior eeeuied with his glaring eyes to pierce
each corner of the room, and the few mais've
pieces of mahogany furniture contrasted sadly
with tL-e rude chairs and conob, upon which lat
ter the lady was seated. But with her presence

I saw the direful fate minding over my lady.

Maria Josephine R me, the only ohild of Gas-
pard and Rose Tascher de la Pagerie was born
in the capital of Mminique, ou the 23 of July,
1768 Woen only sixteen, she became the wife
ol ihe Viscount Alexander de Beauharnais.
Soon alt-T her marriage, Josephine sailed with
her husband for France Tney were received
with the greatest oourtesy in Pdris, and when
J isephiue was presented uttca'oourt of M iria
Antoinette, she at once became a favorite with
that beautiful but unfortunate queen.
Several summers wore passed by Josephine
and her husband in traveling through France,
while tht-jr home was on his estatta in Brittany,
»hjro (September 31, 1780) Josephine gave
birth to neronly son, E lgeae, and three years
later to Hortense, her only daughter.
B ‘auharnais espoused the cause of the Revo
lution when it first broke oat, and although he
was enthusiastically devoted to the principles
of republican lib r;y. s f ill his public career was
marked by a spirit of moderation, and he was
known to belong to the party of Girondists. Up
on the triumphs of the Jacobins in 1793, this
amiable and patriotic man, with an army of the
fii -nds ot F.ance, were swept into the prisons
of Paris. After a long and tediou3 imprison
ment, without a trial, tbe sentence of death was
pronounced up >n him, July 27.h. 1777, and the
following morning bis head tfcll from the block
of t ie guillotine. Tuu death cart had „been or
dered to S/Ju at the dno* dik-tiiplrs*.i:'S.
N >t long after her r6i;easa from"pri ion, Jose
phine met N ipoleon, tlhen General B mapa’d.
This aeq-t dutauce s >on ended ia marr.ag*. ‘ Al
most immediately after ^his, Napoleon left for
I aly, where after the conquest, of L >mhardy
he was r joined by Josephine, who now became
the centre of attraction in the brilliant circles
that thronged the palaOi of Moutebello. H r
loveliness of person, ant blandness of manner
her tac f >r society, andjgenins of conversation’
her am z tig iat> lligsae, and above all the
oourdy grace with wuio she yielded to more
than q leeuly honors grsto her soirees anion --
long given up all hopes of having an heir to the
throne. That he loved Josephine better than
any other woman, and that be loved ber to tbe
last can hardly admit of a doubt—but he loved
his own glory, and the dynasty of his family
better than all. He therefore decided to di
vorce Josephine, and in December 1809, the
Conncil of the Empire was officially informed
of the event A pension of six hundred thou
sand dollars was settled on her for life, the
magnificent Villa of Malmaison, the ancient
palaoe of Navarre were presented to her, and
her title of Empress was confirmed. She was
universally respected, admired and beloved,
and her fall from the throne seemed to clothe
her with new splendor.
Oa the birth of Napoleon’s son, Josephine
wrote a long and generons letter to Marie Lmite.
After the fall of Napoleon. Josephine was visited
by the most illustrious of the allied prinoes.
The Emperor of Russia was among the first.
‘Madame,’ he said, ‘I was impatient to behold
yon. From the mo nent I crossed the frontier
of France, I have heard benedictions on your
name. In the cottage, and in the palace, I have
listened to accounts of your angelic goodness,
aud I am proud to have the pleasure of present
ing to your Majesty the universal homage of
which I am the bearer.’
On the 4 h of May, Josephine dined at St.
L ;u with her children and the Emperor of Rus
sia. She shortly after experienced symptoms
of illnr-ss which alarmed her friends—and on
the 28.h the physicians decided it was their
duty to inform Eugene and Hortense that their
mother was dying. They heard the announce
ment with unutterable grief, but Josephine re
ceived it from their lips with the most sublime
resignation. She was buried in the church of
Bucil, at Malmaison. Twenty thousand people
visited her body while it lay, and a pro
cession ot two thousand of the poor who had
lived on her bounty, followed her to the grave.
The memorial over her grave bears the simple
inscription.

Eighteenth Century Manners
and Morals.
The Footman Nuisance.
The coarseness of manners in the last century
was merely an index of the terrible corruption
in morals especially among the Erglish nobili
ty. Sensna'ism prevailed. Giming and dissi
pation of all kinds was carried to a fearful ex
tent. Women, with titles to their names, gam
bled, cheated, intrigued and scandalized with
out any .check. Their diamonds wer6 often
staked in high play, aud they wore past© jewels at
falsa as their morals, or the high color that came
of the rouge with which they robed themselves.
Th9 French revolution with its awful lesson of
blood, put a check upon the frivolity and wick
edness of society, but oven ns la’e as 1787 Sir
Gilbert E'iot writes to his wife as follows: From

“Were Berengeria now what she was, the uowyr

Her spirit roused his.
“And marked we lady," he continued, “Were
Berengeria in her father’s palaoe at the acme of

when the glory of her court was at its height,
there never approaohed the flower of that house
a truer or more loyal heart than fhat which
bea’s within the breast of the poor Kuight who
kneels before h -r no».”
This speech had its effect and subdued forever
the misgivings of the priuo -as. Not to delude
his hopes she had revealed her hopeless condi
tion. He had shown * is motives to be higher
than for polioy or power, and had convinced
her not only that his spirit knew n » fear, but
that he would watch over her for Knighthoods,

Stephen who advancing before the Knight said:
“Know then Sir KaigUt that tbe lady in whose

Although the lady had already B randed her

and the deep obeisance which on his part now
attended its announcement, oould not oonoeal
the emotions that it had wakened within him.
The princess perceived it, but the old man
did not and he proceeded. “Bat that name is
