Hut among , them all she saw none whom she could princes, promise towed, so she told them all nay.

Now, this princess, like any other woman, was much battered at such show of devotion from the menfolk, but she grew tired at last of rejecting their proposals, especially when she learned that each rejection meant an other funeral; for she began to be afraid that at such a rate all the royal families in the world would become ex tinct, and the poor people would be put to great straits to deterfhine how they should get a new supply. Nobody ever could tell where all the kings and princes first came from, and, if all of them were to die at once, mercy knows what would become of us all till a new lot was started ! She was trying to devise some meth od by which this calamity might be averted and the wholesale slaughter of princes abated, without unnecessarily sacrificing herself, when one day there arrived at her father’s court a prince from a distant country, who was very rich, and brave and handsome withal; so that when the princess looked upon him she could discern no fault in him. Soon he made known his errand, as the others had done, begging her to make him the happiest prince in the world and all that et cetera which she had lis tened to so often before. The princess had no thought of ac cepting him, however, yet she could not bear to send him away to a doom which from her experience in that bus iness seemed inevitable; so she begged him to give her a day in which to de cide upon the question. The prince thought such a delay would prove auspicious, as she had al ways sent his predecessors away in short order. On the next morning, when the prince was summoned to the presence of the princess to receive his answer, which he was sure would be the one he most desired, he found her awaiting him, dressed out as a bride in white satin, laces, pearls and flowers. He swore she was the most beautiful object in the whole round world. Ad vancing to meet her, lie dropped upon liis knee in a most graceful manner, that he had practiced absolutely for this special occasion; but the princess gracefully waved her hand toward him and said, “Arise, most noble prince, and receive your answer.” The prince arose to liis feet with alacrity. 1 n one hand the princess held a mag nificent rose. Its full, blushing head had just been plucked from the gard en and glistened with dewdrops like joy ful tears. The prince, perceiving the line flower, was disposed to take it as an omen of her favor, and could scarce ly refrain from clasping both princess and rose in liis arms. “Does the rose you have signify the import of your answer?” lie eagerly asked. “Perhaps it does,” she slowly an swered, pausing to repulse with dignity the too impulsive wooer, “and perhaps ■ not. My prince, here is a rose I have just found blooming in the garden; and here, too, is a brier,” showing him what he had not before noticed in her other hand. “You asked me to become your wife; you have not been the first to ask me, and, as I have, no particular reason why I should decline your offer, still, to do justice to those who came before you, and who were unsuccessful in their suit, I shall not yield to your wooing, but shall allow you to answer for me.” The prince could scarcely believe his ears. To answer for himself! Why, he wanted nothing better than that; and while lie was congratulating him self on his success, he could not but ad mire the delicate consideration she had shown for the feelings of the unfortun ate princes who had preceded him. It is true they were long past all appre ciation of this compliment, seeing that the last one of them had been in liis grave for several days; yet it showed a tact that was most commendable. The princess now placed the rose and the brier on a table that stood near her. “I have well considered the offer you have made me, and while I express my appreciation of the honor intended, I would ask you to look at the rose and the brier. Iu one of them I see a lit- •ting type of the married condition into which you would lead me. Y hich of these two, the rose or the brier, it is that thus symbolizes wedded lue 1 leave for you to determine; on your de cision hangs my answer. M Inch shall it be, the rose or the brier, li you choose the other—then you know what awaits you. Which shall it be, the rose pr the brier ?” of friend and foe. Portraits more evi dently mythical were not slow to ap pear, sometimes accompanied bv en thusiastic verses. Bonaparte careering through Italy on a flying steed, with pa me blowing a trumpet and holding in readiness the palm of victory, well expresses the popular idea of the hero of Areola. But foreign nations were not thus fascinated. To England es pecially he was becoming a terror and a danger. His portraiture at this time was chiefly in the hands of the carica turists, and it is curious to notice how difficult they found the effort to make it ludicrous and ugly. Rowlandson’s “First Consul,” with his powdered hair, Ins feeble face, stiff cravat, cambric- tipped long, red mantle, short frock, tri-colored scarf, and brigand hat, sur mounted with a tri-colored plume, must have appeared to our grandfathers like mockery, reached for his hand to grasp the rose for he thought, “What can j some Twelfth Night character. But truly typify the married state Gillray, with better art, really gave the more than this lovely flower? Its delicate color certainly indicates the delights of the tender passion as found by two loving hearts newly joined. But, then, is married life all rose colored joy and happiness ? Would the brier, with its russet leaves and angular stems, indi cate the commoner traits of character hidden from love-blinded eyes, but so surely revealed to those who enter into wedlock?” And he remembered how full the court dockets were with di vorce suits. “She wishes to remind me that matrimony is not always so rosy as it is painted.” His eyes fell again on the rose, and his nostrils perceived its delicious perfume. “May not the rose by its delicate yet lasting odor, which though the petals be shattered and withered still cling to them, remind one of the affection that outlasts youth, beauty and adversity, that embalms the memory when death itself steals away the partner of its enjoyment? Ah ! does she wish to teach me con stancy, but for what ? The moon could not be more constant to the earth than 1 shall be to her. But the brier, too, has an odor, especially when bruised, which is just as penetrating as that of the rose, though by no means as agree able. Could it not represent the disa greeable temper sometimes displayed when another wise, amiable couple took it into their heads to disagree, which the best disposed are sometimes wont to do ?” The prince now discovered that what lie had thought to be a single rose was really two, which were borne on two stems so nearly of the same length and conformity that the twin flowers ap peared as one. Ah ! he had discerned the secret, and was on the point of choosing the rose, for he imagined that it was intended to typify the perfect unity of two lovely ancl loving lives, which, brought together in matrimony, so perfectly combined as to appear but one, when an upright branch of the brier, armed with a sharp thorn, scratched his hand as he reached be yond it to grasp the rose. “Ah !” he thought, “that thorn may indicate the stinging shame and mortification that sometimes come to those who wed and are enjoying the novelty of their new relation, when a sudden parting of the veil, revealing some hidden sin or de fect in the character of the adored one, dispels the trust and confidence that once existed between them. Surely there are thorns in the path of matri mony that are certain to make them selves felt.” “Oh, dear me,” he moaned, “which can it be, the rose or the brier, that most truly represents married life? The rose—or—the brier ?” lie paused as he weighed the claims of both. “My prince, while you are deliberat ing, I am growning older,” said the princess. The prince, aroused by the warning voice of the princess, desperately reached forth his hand and took his choice. The princess beamed upon him as she said: “You have chosen well. I shall be your wife.” “But which did lie choose, the rose or the thorn ?” “Ah, my child; they say that one must get married himself to find out !” public something like a resemblance of Bonaparte. Not much, however, could be done beyond rendering liis thin fea’-1 that the only reward was a fine feast tail. “Hi! hi!” exclaimed the redskin, look ing on in astonishment, his eyes ready to start from his head in excitement. “Him very fine dog, indeed,” quietly continued the professor, this time tak ing a whole handful of coin from the cur’s tail, and picking stray pieces from tlie mouth, nose and ears, which he transferred to his pockets. Strange noises were heard proceed ing from the interior of the animal. He groaned and laughed and howled and barked, at all of which the poor deluded redskins stood in the utmost awe and astonishment, and eouldn t for the life of them understand what had come over the spirit of the animal. It was hard to tell which was the most surprised, the Indians or the dog. Af ter filling his pockets with gold and taking another fistful from the cur s tail the professor left the redskins in peace. lie had not been gone ten min utes before the latter pounced upon the poor doomed animal and cut him wide open. Like the goose that laid the golden egg, there was nothing in side, and it was only fair to presume tures excessively gaunt and grim, and representing his height as Lilliputian. “Little Bouncing B,” or “Little Bo- ney,” was Johnny Bull’s good-humor ed notion concerning the man who over the water took such gigantic pro portions. The English caricaturists conceived him as an iron-hearted homi cide, capable, when needful, of being most insinuating and plausible. Then- portraiture lias all the character of a popular myth, profoundly true in itself, but singularly coarse and brutal, hand led after their own manner. In one of Gillray’s designs we get Bonaparte’s portrait rendered as hang-dog and fel onious as possible in the midst of all kinds of emblems intended to set forth the popular English notion of republi can France. Around the portrait are written the words: “And God made Bonaparte and rested from his labors.” It Works Both Ways. Atlanta Constitution. Rev. J. G.

Rev. Mr. Gibson told them that he expected to give up farming and move in to town, and could not accept unless he knew exactly what he was to get. His family expenses had to be met, and he must know how he was to meet them. Reluctantly all agreed but one member. The member who de clined, stated that he didn’t know how much cotton he was going to make, what his expenses would be—in fact, he couldn’t tell how much he would be able to give. “But,” said he, “I’ll give something.” It so happened that Rev. Mr. Gibson met this brother, and inquired of him who he could get to run his farm for him. “Why,” said the brother, “I ( m your man. I’ve just sold my farm. You know that I can manage one success fully.” “Yes,” Dr. Gibson replied, “you are the man. I will move out Thursday. You move in Friday. You- give me a good account. It is all right.” And the doctor started off. “Hold on,” said the brother, “you have forgotten a very important mat ter. You have not told me what my salary would be.” Turning back, Dr Gibson answered: “I can’t tell now what I will be able to pay you.

Magazine of Art. When David was commissioned to paint his picture of Napoleon crossing the Alps lie asked the First Consul to name a day when he would sit. “Sit !” said Bonaparte; to what good ? Do you suppose the great men of antiquity sat for their portraits?” “But I paint you for your own times, for men who have known and seen you; they expect a good likeness.” “A good likeness! It is not the exactitude of the features, the little wart on the nose, that makes a likeness. What ought to be painted is the character of the physiognomy. No one inquires if the portraits of great men are alike; it is quite enough if they manifest their genius.” This story shows how early the purpose was form ed in Bonaparte’s mind to render him self the subject of a myth, and to this end he sought to employ poets as well as painters. It was totally unnecessa ry; for his apparition in Italy, in -1795, was in itself quite sufficient to render him a legendary hero.
