" What mattered it to him, in any essential par- ticular, that there was noise` and confu- sion without; that the quiet and roomi- ness of `a country house had been ex- changed _for a circumscribed lodging in town; that the accessories and superui- ties; of wealth had vanished?

It falls to our lot, however, to record that no im- mediate opportunity came in his way, for thus istinguishingi himself. His usual employment--varied only by occa- ' sional_ errands to Mark-lane, and to a bank in`Lombard-street`-was that of copying correspondence, making entries in large journals, and writing invoices; which are not in general considered as very exhilirating operations. And, `tak- ing for granted that Basil was daily to be found seated at his desk at the striking of the counting-house dial; that he con- sciientiouslvavoided the waste of pens, paper, and time; that he scrupulously crossed his ttsand dotted his iis; that he wrote rapidly, cleanly and clearly; that his up `strokes were fine and his down-strokesbold; that he avoided un- uecessaryourishes; and that he calcu- lated with the precision of a Cooker- all these accomplishments and qualifica- tions Basil possessed in common with many thousand counting-house clerks besides, who had plodded on,-or were plodding on from green `youth up to ripe old age, in every stage of life s Journey, without.` attracting any special and ex- traordinary notice, or nding that these xmerits had pavedgibr them the-way tn fortune; .In'short, Basil seen discovered that by no violent and spasmodic efforts _was he likely to surmount the inconvee A niences of that comparativepoverty into - which heliad been suddenly plunged.

Moreover, there were Basil s sisters, until Ellen was coached off to Rosemary- lodge ; and when this event took place, though for a little while it cast no slight gloom over those who remained behind, there was Minnie for his companion. The manner of life of the _Marsdens at this time was much in this wise. At half-past seven they met atrthe break- t fast-table, at which-after some pretty excuses and manytrembling apprehen- sions, lest she should commit some aw- ful blunder, such as putting too much sugar into her father's cup, or too little into, B2-.s_il. s--Minnie presided.

At eight o clocl: Mr. Marsden read the scriptures and prayed. It had been his custom at Willovrlodge, and the change which his circumstances had undergone, happily for him, had not shaken his faith in the God of provi- dence and grace, nor caused him to re- strain prayer before Him. On the other hand, we may well believe that it had quickened his apprehension of the ne- cessity fur divine guidance, and his dili- gence in coming to a throne of grace to seek mercy and nd grace and help in time of need. i - ' I H, 1 .- ` n "I u n . uuluu Lu unu. way. 4 _ You silly girl, why `P demanded the visitor, reddening in her~t1jrI1.

I WII ll` (P9 Of the 13 children of Carlo Bonaparte. the Corsican advocate, eight lived to rise with the star of- Napoleon. Of these children five were sons, and of the five sons Jerome was the youngest. He was born at Ajaccio on the 15th of December, 1784, only a year before the se- cond son, Napoleon, having nished his educa- tion at the Military School at llrienne, and the Military College of Paris. was appointed siib- `lieutenant of artillery. Jerome was but a boy when the capture of Touloa, and the defence of the convention against the insurgent sections of Paris had given the first impulse to the career of the future Emperor. Before Jerome was 15 Napoleon had conquered Italy, invaded E-_ry;it, returned, overthrown the Directory, and been named First Consul. Jerome, therefore, was still very young when the gleam of the Impe- rial pnrple began to color ,the fortunes of the four brothers. The navy was selected for the cadet of the house. and in the French marine, as it existed in the interval between Aboukir and Trafalgar, Jerome served through the years of the Consulate. It was while serving on the North American station that Jerome, then only 19, met at Baltimore the daughter of an Ameri-. can merchant, became enarnoored of the lady. and without asking the permission ot the head of the family, was married to Elizabeth Patter- son. This event took place in 1803; Napoleon was proclaimed Emperor in 1804, and at the date of his brother : marriage was calculating their alliance with the royal and princely fami- lies of Europe as part of hispolicy. lle con- sidered Jerome s marriage both acheclrto that policy and an act of disobedience, and was greatly incensed by it. He had already quar- relled with his brother Lucien, partly for the same reason. Lucien had married in 1795, when the star of the Bonapartes was yet only on the horizon, a -Mademoiselle Boyer; but be- coming a widower in 1802. he married. against all the remonstrances of Napoleon, a Madame Jouherton, the widow of a banker. There had been other differences between the brothers; but Lncien s resistance to Napoleoii s dictation on this point deepened, into total strange~ merit. They were never reconciled. and till the close of Nepoleoii s career Lucien stood aloof, refusing all participation in his fortunes. Up to the period of the Consulship Lucien ha-l materially aided his brother, and in one critical moment is generally believed to have saved him byrhis decision and presence of - mind. It was when Napoleon overthrew the Government of the Directory and dissolved the Council of Five Hundred. expelling the the members by force from the orangery at `St. Cloud. Lucien was President of the Council, and then Napoleon, more accustom- ed to deal with armies than legislative assem- blies, for an instant overawed by the reproaches and tlircatsof the members, hesitated and , faltered in_ his address, Lucien turned the `event of the day. Itwas almost his last ser- vice; be strongly opposed Napoleon's sabse qoent assumption of the supreme power, If denounced it, and,` as a Republican. woul not help.t6 establish. an empire. though on ` it he might undoubtedly have chosen a kin wdorn for l_iirnselt'.

The youngest of the family, he saw its rise to power and splen- dour, fully shared its prosperity, and lived through its period of depression to witness its restoration. The ex-King of Westphalia re- gained hio title of " Majesty, and from his residence in the Palais Royal saw the son of a brother occupying the Tuilleriea as Emperor of -the French, as if the gulph of aome 40 years had never opened between that name and the imperial throne. ,Thua the life of the ex-King has run like a thread through all the must re- markable changea of tho preaent century. he himself forming arather prominent gure in them.

With Jerome Bonaparte passes away another of the names that connect the present genera- tion with the _ rest events and changes of the first quarter of SIG century. The history of that period reads Ytow more like a grand romance thsn s. chronicle. Old rnonarchies fell in a day, overthrown bye. single battle, and new kingdoms were crested by decrees that dispers- ed over Europe more dethroned princes than, nearly a century before. Voltaire brought to- gether atdthe snpperof Candide. But all the names that rose.to historical importance during this period, are second and subordinate to that one which of itself describes the era-the nsme of Napoleon. There is no more striking proof of his absolute supremacy than the sin- gnlar destiny he imposed on his three brothers, to some extent even against their own desire. His Marshals were his instruments , but most of their renown they won for themselves. His brothers elevation was entirely his own work ; they did not strengthen him, nor could they serve ltimefciently ; but he raised them to a sphere second only to hisown. and sustained them init as the satellites of his glory.

The attempt of Aus-V trio and Prussia to renew an active hostility in 1806 Napoleon defeated by the decisive blow which destroyed the Prussian army at Jena. The Prussian monarchy was rrostrated, and after that battle Napoleon was the actual ruler `of Germany. The old Germanic Empire, which had long existed but in name, had re- ceived its death stroke; Napoleon assumed the functions of the German Emperor. as he haul, in fact, conquered the power. Among the privileges the representative of Charle- magne had retained was that of conferring the rank of King on princes already sovereign, or conrming them in the regal rank when con- ferred by the old Diet of the Empire. The last legitimate creation of the kind was the kingdom of Prussia. By the modern Charle- magne these honors were bestowed more lavishly, and under his sway more new king- doms were created in three years than Europe had seen arise in the previous three centuries. Bavaria and Wurtemberg he had already raised to monarchies; but it was after the battle of Jena he exercised this power most extensively. Most of the Napoleonic Royalties were created in 1806 and 1807. The summer of 1806 was especially prolific of new kings and princes, warmed into life by the Sun of Austerlitz, and planted on the ruins of the "old Royslite.-. A series of decrees, dated from Paris, distri- buted thrones and kingdoms among the mem- bers of Napoleou s family. Joseph Bonaparte was created King of the Two Sioilies; Murat, the brother-in-law of Napoleon, was made Grand Duke of Berg; Lonis Bonaparte. King of Holland. he Confederation of the Rhine was formed of 14 Sovereign Princes, who elected Napoleon " Protector of their union. 1-....- D______s_I- _._.,_.

Jerome Bonaparte : patent of royalty was one of the latest; and as even an Emperor cannot create Kings without having kingdoms to bestow. it is necessary to trace how the terri- tories that were auignetl to Jerome were ac- quired and formed. though the details belong rather to the life of his greater brother. In July, 1807, Napoleon granted peace to Prus- sia on the terms of the Treaty of Tilsit, by which Prussia lost half its territorv. Of some .of those Prussian Provinces--o{ the Duchy of Brunswick. the Electorate oi Hesse, and a part of Hanover-the kingdom of Westphalia was constructed and given to Jerome Bunn- parte; he had consented to the repudiation of his plebeisn wife. and in the same year that he was placed on the throne of Westphalia he married the Princess Catherine Frederica of _Worternberg. He was publicly installed in his doniinions on the 1st January, 1808.

Thll movement closed the series of Napoleon : Royal creations or pro- rnotions. , Bernadotte s elevation to the throne of Sweden in 1811 cannot be included among them, so it was affected without the Empe- ror e assistance, and even against his wish ; he merely assented to the Royalty of his Mer- shall when the assent could not be withheld. ence as a soldier. The consequences were unfortunate, and it can scarcely be said that Jeroine was most to be blamed for them, as the task imposed on him was beyond his powers, Napoleon possessed In it high de- gree the -faculty of judging the capacity and fitness of individuals for special services. He disliked unsuccessful men, even if in failing they had displayed unquestionable ability; he sarcastically objected to the merits of Moreau as a commander that he had a mania for - making scientic retreats. Yet at the com- 'mencement of one of his boldest enterprises Napoleon intrusted to his brother Jerome, who was only nominally a soldier. in military com- mand that would have required a South or a Massena to have borne with credit. It was at the beginning of the Russian campaign of 1812 that Jerome, then King of Westphalia, divas placed at the head of 70.000 German troops in Portland. He proved his uufitnesa for thepost by allowing himself to be surprised at Smolensko, and the Emperor : plans were considerably deranged by the error. Jerome was immediately relieved of his command on the scene of war and sent to Cassel, to the less diicult charge of commanding a portion of the reserve force stationed there. This com- mand he held till the advance of the Russians compelled him to abandon the position on the 30th of- September, 1813, and retire towards the French frontier.

It was a source of boundless astonish- ment to the neighbourhood, doubtless , when it became a fact fu-lly demonstrated that Mrs. Chester had made this addition to her small establishment ; and the little girl from London -had to runthe gauntlet of a great many scores of eyes, on the first Sunday after her arrival, when she walked in state by aunt Pene- lopc s side through the chapel-yard on ` her wayhorne from the public services. _ But this was only a natural homage to Mrs. ,Chester s ' acknowledged impor- tance,and did not in the least degree` embarrass that good lady, however much her young protege shrunk from the ear- nest and-to tell the truth-lialf com- passionate gaze to which she was sub- Jected, and expressed a wish, under breath however, that country people wouldn t stare so. ' ` Then, on the next morning, came the minister of the chapel, with his sister, to welcome Ellen to her new home, and to invite her to his pleasant house when- ever she pleased. He wasn t married; but his sister kept house `for him, and she spoke so kindly and lovingly to the little stranger, and seemed so good- tempered, that .Ellen quite rejoiced thereat. _In short, all .Ellen s first .in1 pressions were favourable; and Rose- mary-lodge, with all around and about it, was gilded and tinted ooleur de rose- _ It was under the inuence of these com- fortable feelings that Ellen wrote the following long letter to her friends in London-long, at-any rate, for, a child only emaiiqipated from `a boarding- school; and which will save us the trouble of further description and expla- nation. ` `f Dear Father,yBasil, and Minnie :- Aunt tells me that Iam to write a. good. long letter to you ; and she has given me a whole morning to write It in, in my own little` room ; so I will begin _at once. . Andlto begin at the beginning, as Basil v says, I must tell you that I felt very I lonely after I said . good-bye to you all; and I squeezed `myself `into aycorner of the couch, and pulled down my green veil, that the people in the coachgshould not see that I was crying. They did nd it out though, andthere was a, kind gentleman who tried to amuse me, and kept me talking till I almost forgot my troubles.
