A Clause In Napoleon's Wil},

Peter the Great is suid to have made a will in which be exhorted his beirs to approach as nearly a8 possible to Constzutinople and toward India, but the authenticity of this document has been disputed, and it is shrewdly sus- pected to have been forged late in the eighteenth century by August von Kotzebue. Of the genuineness. how- ever. of the last will and testament of Napoleon I. there can be no man- ner of doubt. One of its clavses wis as vindictive as the testamentary in- Junction of Queen Austrigilda to ber busband to have Ler two doctors killed and buried witb her.

The exile of Longwood absolutely bequeathed 10,000 francs to a feilow called Cantillon, who had been tried in Paris for an attempt to murder the Duke of Wellington. The man was still surviving in Ernssels when Na- poleon Ill. came to the throne, and Cantillon was duly paid his legacy.

The Pansy and the Butterfly. She was a pansy. There she stood in the great garden of Japan, coquettish- ly fanning berself with a leaf. And he was a butterfly, a handsome fellow. Daily be few to her to embrace her slenger form and to kiss the tears away

the night had left upon her brow. Waly

Hu, the gardener, one day espied the beautiful flower, and soon the pansy found herself installed amid the most luxurious surroundings in the dressing room of the geisha. There she rested in the costly cloisonne vase. And she longa! for Ler moiber, iue eariu, aud her father, the great sun, and her lov- er, the butterfly. No more tears be- Cewed ber eyes. Her soul left her, she pined away, ard one day she died. And the butterfly who missed ber—well, be found another pansy.-

He Died Cured.

There used to live near Dunbarton, ia New Hanipshire, a physician who had a reputation for pi, }:eaded stupidity.

A good story about this physician used to circulate in the town. Accord- ing to it, an old woman stopped bis gig one day and pointed toward a house with crape on the door.

“So, doctor,” she said maliciously, “Mr. Brown is dead, for all you prom- ised to cure him, eh?”

‘be doctor looked at her in bis pom- pous, stupid way.

“You're mistaken.” he said. “You didn’t follow the progress of the case. Iv's true Mr. Brown is dead, but he died cured!”

WORDS OF TENDERNESS UTTER: BY GREAT MEN.

The Remage That Tom Feed Paid :- the Partmer of Mis Serrews au. dvys—Jean Paci Richter’s Unastin: ed Pratee ef Careline Mayer.

Few great men hare paid more ev thuclastic tributes to their wives that Tom Hood, and probably few wives have better deserved such Lomage, says the Chicago Chronicie. “You will think,” be wrote to ber in one of his Jet crs, “that 1 am more foolish than ar; boy lover, and I plead gulity. for Bever Was a wooer so young of heart acd so steeped in love as I. but it is a lo-e sanctified and strengthened by long years of experience. May God ever bicss my darling. the sweetest. most helpful, ange! wi.o ever sicoped to bless a man” Has there ever, we wonder, lived a wife to whom a more Gelicate aud beaut.ful tribute was paid than those verses of which the burden is, “l love thee, 1 love thee; ‘tis all that ican say?”

“I want thee much,” Nathaniel Haw- thorne wrote to his wife many sears after bis long patience bad won for him the Cower “that was Ieut from heaven to siow the possibilities of the human soul.” “Thou art the only per- gon in the world that eves was neces- sary to me, aad now | aw only myrelf when thou art within my reach. ‘lhou art an unspeakabiy beloved woman.” Sophia Hawthorne was litte better than a chronic invalid. and it may be | that this physical weakness woke all the deep chivairy’and tenderness of the | man. And he reaped a rich reward for an almost unrivaled devotion in the “atmosphere of love and happiness aod | inspiration” with which his delicate wife always surrounded bim.

The wedded life of Wores.orth with his cousin, “the phantom of de‘ight.” Was a poem more exquisitely beautiful | than any his pen ever wrote. Mrs. Wordsworth was never fair to look upon, but she kad that priceless and rarer beauty of sou! which made ber life “a center of sweetness” to all around ber. “All that sie bas been to me.” the poet once said in his latter days, “none but God and myself can ever know,” and it would be dificult to 6nd a more tonching and beautiful picture in the gallery of great teen's lives than that of Wordsworth aud his wife, both bowed under the burden of

hand in band together in the garden, with all the blissful absorption and tender confidence of voutliful lovers.

It never needed “the welding‘ touch of a great sorrow” to taake the lives of Archbishop Tait and his devoied wife “a perfect whole.”

Speaking of |

ber many years after sbe bad been | taken from him. be said, “To part from |

her, if only for a day, was a pain only jess intense then the pleasures with which 1 returned to ber, and when I took ber with me it was one of the purest joys given to a man to watch the weeting between her and our chil- dren.”

When David Livingstone had passed his thirtieth Liiiday, with barely a thought fer such “an ipdulgence as wooing aud wedding,” be declared hu- morously that when he was a little

less busy he would send bome an ad- |

vertisemeat for a wife, “preferably a decent sort of widow.” and yet so un- consciously near wes his fate that only a year later he was introducing his bride, Mary Moffat, to the bome he had buiit, largely with bis own hands, at Mabotsa. From that “supremely bap- py hour” to the day wien, eighteen

years iater, be received her “list faint whisperings” at Shupanza, no man ever b voied wiie daughter.

sedate married folk, and uuder the magic of their merriment the bard- | ships and daugers of life in We heart | of the dark continent were stripped of | all their terrors. | Jvan Paul itichter confesscd that he mever even suspected the potentialities of Luman happiness until be met Caro- line Mayer, “that sweetest and most gifted of women.” when he was fast approaching his fortieth year, and that he had no monopcly of the resultant happiness is proved by his wife's dec- | laration that “Rich‘cr is the purest, tie holiest, the most godlike man that lives; ® * © to be the wife of such a man fe the grentest glory that can fall to a woman,” while of his wife Richter once wrote, “I thought when I married her that 1 had sounded tie depths of human love, but I bave since realized how unfathomable is the heart in which a noble woman has her shrine.”
