He was captured by Juarez, the Liberal President of Mexico at Quere- 8 (taro on the 20th of May and shot on the 16thof June by his captors. His father was Francis Charles Joseph, Archduke of Aus- tria, and his mother Sophia Dorothea, davghter of Maximilian I, King of Bavaria. Upon the abdication of Ferdi- nand, Emperor of Austria, the Archduke renounced his claim to the succession in favor of his eldest son the present Emperor, the brother of the subject of this sketch. The abdicating Emperor, in giving vp his throne, unequally divided Ins power, and gave an advantage to the Archduke Maxi- millian, to the detriment of his elder brother. Such was the origin of the contest, and at limes very warm differences, which aros» between the two. Maximilian received his education at Vienna, then, as now, one of the gravest and most dissolute capitals of Europe. He did not, however, indulge in frivolities so common lo the nobility of Austria, but ap- pears to have spent a great part of his youth in study and travel. At an early age be went into the navy of the empire, and saw! considerable service at sea, sailing abou the Mediterranean, and visiting all the ad- jacent countries--Greece, Italy, Morocco, French, Algeria, Spain and Portugal, At the age of twenty-two he was placed at the head of what is termed by courtsey the Aus- trian marine, and wilh a squadron visited the coast of Syria.and Palestine. He went also to the Red Sea, and took great interest in the works of the Suez canal, which were then just begining. In 1856 he paid a visit to Paris, and spent a fortnight at St. Cloud with Louis Napoleon. The year following he was appointed Viceroy of Lombardy and Verfice, and, in the exercise of the powers hed to the p , soon made h I quite a favorite among the Italians. This Iasi displeas GEO.

Beas most respectfully to inform the inhabi- ants of the County of Ontario, that he has leased the above premises lately otcupied by Sandy Perrie, which he has newly furnished an , and he is prepared to date the travelling public. The bar stocked with the choicest liquors and cigars, and an at- PORT PERRY, C.W. tentive ostler always in attendance; pop y was, h r p g to Francis Joseph, and in 1859 he was remov- ed. He issaid to have exhibited great courage and decided administrative abilities while Viceroy. It is related that he vsed to walk about the streets of Milan and Venice quite alone during the fetes, and among the crowd, and would never allow the police to be on the watch. One day, at Venice; when the Italian nobles had plotted to make a hostile demonstration against: him on the Piaza St. Marco, he discomfitted and quite converted them to his side by tucking his wife under his arm and coming among them unattended, and oa foot, with a courage and frankuess that disarmed every one. Another time, just after Orsini's at- tempt at Paris, his life was also said to be threatened, and his friends begged him not to expose himself ; but he immediately, ordered his carriage to goto the theatre taking with him Count Stromboll, to whom he said, laughingly, ¢ If [ am to be blown up, it shall at least be in good company.' Maximilian remained idle after his re- moval from the governorship of the Lom- bardo-Venetian Kinghom until 1862, when Our spears aad swords are printed words } Napoleon decided on making a catepaw of lim in Mexico, the threne of which wan offered to him by Napoleon in August, 1853, and the diplomats were put to work to arrange for his acoepts ance and occupancy of the throne. Nearly a year was occupied in this work, and it was not until the 10th of August, 1854, that he formally accepted the proffered crown. By the terms of the acceptance he made a conditinal renunciation ofthe right of event- ual succession to the throd®'of Austria, and an unconditional renunciation of his share of the family estates, amounting to 20,000,- 000 of florins. The condition reserved in the rennuciation of the right to the succes- sion was that such renunciation might be revoked, should Maximilian, finding his foothold in Mexico insecure, choose to resign within six years from the date of his ace ceptance of the crown. The career of Maximilian as the so-call- ed Emperor of Mexico is well known to the people of this country. His first official act was to offer terms to Juaraz looking to the submission of the latter. These wero re- jected, and then followed the past years of war and bloodshed, with alernate success, and the present final defeat of the Imperial- iste. His efforts to attract imigration and to develope the resources of the country are well known, as are also his personal sacri- fices for the success of his cause. That he failed was only a natural and expected result, but it is doubtful if he would have mel the terrible fate to which Juarez assign- ed him had he not issued his famous order declaring the Republican President and his supporiers bandits and outlaws. The entire responsibility of his death must rest upon Napoleon, who first induced him to take the profferedicrown, and afigrwards deserted him. Personally Monin had the re- putation of being a most accomplished gen- tleman and scholar, ---- i -- eee BOOKS AND THEIR USES: Charles Lambs friend who left oft read- ing to the increase of his originality, assured- ly erred on the night side. The danger in this much written for age is of reading too much, We read too much, and think too little. . ¢ Young men now-a-days,' says one, the late record of whose earnest and loving life has impressed the true stamp on all he hus written, ¢ read netther their Bible nor their Shakespeare enough." The professor, whose young friend boast- ed that he read ten hours a day, inquired with amazement, ¢ Indeed, then when do youthink 2° The old man wastight. The master who sees a pupil with idle hands, and fears, that, being without a book, he is losing his time, might not unreasonably hape that his other pupil, who 18 never seen without a book, is not losing his thonghts. ¢ Itis hard,' Orlando says, ¢ to see happiness through another man's eyes.' It is also unprofitable always to see things reflected in another man's mind, There are other books besides those printed on paper, which are not without their value. Perhaps even it was intended that we should sometimes strive to see nature at first hand. CHARLEs Dickens' Reapinos.--A Lon- don correspondent of the N. Y. T'ribuue gives the following sketch of a reading by the great novelist t-- ¢ The pieces selected were the lerrible picture of Dotheboy's Hall, including the thrashing of Squeers by Nicholas Nickleby, and the scene of Bads- well vs. Pickwick, I have listened to many good readers--to Fanny Kemble, Vanden- hoff. Murdoch, Miss Glyn, and with pleas~ ure ; but I had not even faintly imagined, until I heard Dickens read from his own books, what marvels could be wrought by a single voice and a single face. He hard- ly ever glances at the book } he rarely gesticulates except with the features of his face ; but his wonderful eye and his flexi- ble voice blend into a wand of Prospero, at whoss waving there rise up and float through the air all those strange, pathetic, h , sad forms with which his brain has teemed-- forms far beyond those which any other English brain has conceived for variety, beauty, and character, excepting that ot Shakespeare alone. The vast crowd listening is spell-bound § eyes moist- en and glisten breasts heave, heads bend forward ; the hours are winged. There plainly before us is the poor, cowed, starv- ing Smike; with his thin, wiry voice ; there the Jisping Miss Squeers ; there the poor little wretches of Butheboy's Hall. \When I come tothink of it, it seems to me cer- tain that Chas. Dickens has personally kiiown all the characters he has created ; and how should he not? What must a man not have seen who once wandered through St. Quiles' seeking items for news- papers, who reported in police courte, the dead-house by day, the House of Commons by night ¥ If any one who has lived mn London some years with his eyes and ears open will then read again Dickens' works, he will find that the stories are new, and that Croikshank never made such illustra- tions ot them as are to be found at every corner. 'The lances of Highbury, where Sykes wandered, the Feld Lane, where Fagin's cellar slill stands, the bridge, where Rose Maylle told her story, all these have the marine painter, that he had written his name on the testless sea but of himself it may be said that he has impressed his name forever on the great human sea that roars and rolls in the great city's whose depths he has fathomed, whose pearls he has found, more than any man that has lived. He has wrought a double reform--one in aft and literature, which now have aband= oned the stilted vanities of palaces and the pomp of battles for the struggles of the lowly and the still sad music of humaity ; the other is a practical raform exhibited in the direotion of philanthropic energy to re- gions pointed out by him in a way that compelled attention. . What has been ac- complished in Field Lane--the scenes of exploits of Faganand the Arnful Dodger in ¢ Olver Twist," was recently shown at the anniversary of the Field Lane Ragged Scholls. The institution provides for 1,310 childrent to whom useful trades are tanght. There 3,138 strangers who find nightly and. 600 have been provided with good situations during the year. There is little doubt that this ie but one of numerous be- nefits which have indirectly but surely comes from one who has done more than any other writer to vindicate and show the plan and task of fiction in this century. ONEST a UPWARD PROGRESS OF A BOY, The Miners' Journal, speaking of two graduates at West Point belonging to Pot- tesville, Pa., says: Frank U. Farquhar, ot this boroqgh, graduated in honor, and rank- ed No.2 in his class at West Point last week. The No. 1 graduate was a poor Irish boy, named Peter O'Rourke, who at sixteen, did not know his letters. This lad had sav- od the lives of of several persons on Lake Erie, we believe who out of gratitude, offer= ed him a considerable sum of money, which he declined, on condition that they would secure him an education. They complied with the request, sent him to school, and afterwards secured him a situation at West Point, where he has just graduatedthigh in honors. The poor, rough Irish boy bears himself as a perfect gentleman, and we feel confident that he will make his mark. It is out of such stuff that the great men of the country are made. HOME LIGHT AND LIFE. Even as the sunbeam is composed of mil- lions of minute rays, the home light must be constituted of little tendernesses, kind- ly looks, sweet laughter, gentle words lov- ing counsels; it must not be like the torch- blaze of natural excitement, which is easily quenched, but like the serene, chastened hight which burns as safely in the dry east wind as in the stillest atmosphere. Leteach bear the other's burden the while § let each cultivate the mutual confidence, which 1s a gift capable of increase and improvement, and soon 1t will be found that kindness will spring up on every side, displacing constitu- tional unsuitability, want of mutual know- ledge, even as we have seen sweet violets and primroses dispelling the "gloom of 'ihe gray sea-rock. "SELF DEPENDENCE, Many an unwise parent works hard and lives sparingly all his life, for the purpose of leaving enough to give his children a start in the world, as it is called. Setting a a young man afloat with the movey left him by his relatives, is like tying a life preserv- er under the arms of one who cannot swim ; ten chances to one, he will loose his pre=- server and go to the bottom. Teach himjto swim and he will not need the preserver. Give your child a sound education. See to it that his morals are pure, his mind culti- vated, and his nature made subservient to the laws which govern man, and you will have given him what will be of more value than the wealth ¢f the Indies. You have given him a start which no 'misfortune can deprive him of." The earlier you teach him to depend upon. his own resourses the bet- ter. ! TIN MY LIBRARY, Books are ever agreeable companions. Like their authors, they are of various char- acters, but we may select them to suit our different moods. We may choose them as we choose our [tiends, for many different excellencies, yet each ministering to some peculiar want in ourselves, and producing a mofe symmetrical developement than we could otherwise secure. When we have selected our friends in the library, they do not ciange nor forsake us, but are steadfast in their integrity. They fornish us always the same faithful and sincere instructions. They are friends with whom we can converse in the lonliest solitude ; they have often gladdened the spiritin the prison~cell; and in the most humble:dwelling. They aro sources of gen uine pleasure ; in them the manifold scenes of life are painted, the aflections are em- balmed, the creations of imaginations are pictured, the beauties of Nature and the wonclers of Art are pourtrayed, the noblest minds, the best seniiments of the bebt hedrts, dre ensued, got tints of poetry on them, or of tragedy. Indi ding has been 1 as unfavourable to mental vigor and origin= ality. It has been said that the ancients owed much of their excellence to the fact that they had fewer books than we and therefore read less and thought more. Bacon was a great reader as woll as a great observer and thinker, but he tells us the manner in which he avoided any evil from thts habit. "Some books,' said he; "are lo be tasted, some swallowed, and some few chewed and digested," Wiihout doubt, the most powerful minds have been distinguished for extensive and varied research, combined with the moat powerful originality. Nature has provided an endless variety for the support of man, and it is not the soantyjand unvarying use of her blessings that invigorates } the healthy may enjoy them abundantly, if tney are reasonably and temperately used, : However strong may be the objections to the use of miscelaneous books by students they do not apply to the popular mind. The mass of the people have neither the disposition nor the opportunity for mental discipline. With them thete fs but one al- ternative, either to reap the slight improve- ments, but genuine pleasures of occasional and desolutery reading, or suffer the inani- tion or worse accompanimént of an almost, habitual neglect of books. Though tho im- provement by this unconnected source may be slight compared with the result of syste- matic study, yet, in itself considered, il is vast. The inert fapulties arte awakened, the tendency of the uniform and minutely divid- ed mechanic afts to stint the mind is check- ed,'the languid imagination is vivified, and the taste and judgement are exercised. A mechanic who is accustmed to spend an hour or two daily, in judici ling, will show its effect in his whole bearing. It may awaken no peculiar energy ; it may impart no new talent; but it will give a better tone to his ordinary powers ; and greater purity to his common sentiments ; and it will almost invariably, distinguished him from the mass of his class. The moral fluence of popular reading isinvaluable, The maxim that. « A little learning is a dangerous thing," may be true when applied to the scientific, and the would-be- learned, yet not without qualifi- cation even then ; but it is not appropriate, as upplied to popular intelligence. The books are not generally speculative or vain, they are frank, confiding, implict. Though the chief sufferers from religious or political errors, they are eeldom the ori- ginators. They generally have too little presumption to disbelieve received truths, and too much common sense to propound theoretical ab- surdities ; if they cannot be learned, they may be intellegent without danger. Their intellegence is the conservative virtue of society. It is not the mflucuce of the highly educated which preserves acom- munity from the evils of error, but the ag- gregate intellegence of the masses. If religion is the salt of tho earth this is a partof ifs" s&vor--il always 'co-exisls with genuine religion and cannot exist with- out it.-- Vermont School Journal. -------- VOICES=WHAT THEY INDICATE. There are light, quick, surface voices, that involuntarily seem to utter the slang, «It won't do to tie to."" - The man's words as- sure you of his strength of purpose and reli- ability, yet the tone contradicts his speech. Then there are low, deep, strong, voices where the words seem ground out, as if the "owed humanity a grudge, and ment to pay it some day. The man's opponents may well tremble, and his friends may well trust his strength of purpose and ability to act. Thera is the course; boisterous, dictator- ial tone, invariably adopted by vulgar per- sons who have not sufficient cultivation to understand their own insignificance. There 1s the incredulous tone, that is full of a covert sneer, or a secret ¢ You can't dupe me" intonation. : There is a whining, beseeching voice, that says ' sycophant' as plainly as if it ut- tered the word. It cajolés and flatters you --its words ¢ I love you ; I admire you ; you are everything you should be." Then there is a tender; musical; compas- sionate voice, that sometimes goes with sharp features (as they indicate merely in= tensity of feeling,) and sometitnes with blunt features, but always with genuine be- nevolence. If you are {ull of affection and pretense your voice proclaims it. If you are full of honesty and strength of purpose your voice proclaims it. If you are cold, and calm and fitm, and consistent, or fickle, and foolish, and decep- tive, your voice will be equally truth tell- ing. You cannot wear a mask without its be ing known that you are weating one. You cannot change your voice froth a natural tone without its being known that 'you are doitig so. -- Agnes Leonard.

HOW A YOUNG MAN RUINED His SELF, A man is now confined in tne Marion (lil.) County Jail who ought to be in bet- ter business. His name is Albert Wella. Three months since he was agent for the Adams Express Company at Sandoval. In an evil hour, and being addicted to loose company, he was tempted to embezzle $1,800 express money, aud run. He has an excellent .and intelligent wife living in Worcester, Mass. ' To her he fled, was are rested on requisition from Governor Dgels- by, brought back to Salem and imprisoned to await trial. This unhappy young man; now about thirty-three years of age, is a genius. His education is superb } he is an excellent scholar; can converse fluently in Gerntan, French, and Nalian 3 is tolera- bly conversant with Latin and Greék, an admirable penman and an uncommonly unique telegrapher. He can receive and transmit by sound messages by telegraph at the same moment. - He cin write at the same time on two sheets of paper with his right and left hand in a beautiful style chirography. Being of very coirteous and prepossessing manners, it is said, he work- ed npon the feelings of one of the female atiaches of the prison, and was let out of jml and éscaped. Once ott, his genius was at fault, Not being familiar with thé country, he took the line of railroad for escape. Had ho struck off south he would * not have been subject to be pursued by te- legraph or overtaken by railroad. At Flora hie was rearrested, brought buck and is now again in jail at Salem, tv be tried for felony. What a lesson does this instante exhibit to our young men and to all men, of the danger of yielding to temptation and for- getting the virtuous instructions ofgyouth ! INGENIOUS, VERY--IF TRUS, In this connection (as the prase goes now-a-days, when ecribblers want to con nect two things as wide apart as heaven and earth, or in any case, Paris and Dub- lin,) a story a stripping told me yesterday is the best tung I have heard for some time. An ensign of the 520d Regiment, one of those appointed to keep the peace in Brelond, with a detachment of only a dozen men, one day surprised a meeting, the treasonable nature of which could not be mistaken. The door of the palase hav ing buen secured, every man of the ldt wai made a prisoner, and the suspected Fe nians, outnumbering the sdldiers, with every chance of a rescue being altempted from without, the ensign determined to march off his prisoners to headquarters as soon as possible. Circumstances prevent- ed himself and half his men leaving thé spot. A non-commissioned officer and five men to take over twenty prisoners along five or six miles of road--how could it be done? No handeufls ; no anything. The Corporal hit on it. He stripped them all of everything but shirt and trowsers; and witli a knife cut off every button on the latter. two of his men led the way; then came the prisoners all holding vp their trowsers with both hands; then two soldiers with fixed bayonets, and he brought up the reat himself. The designer of suck a handeuff- ing system must have had a sense of the ludicrous about him that made that march a pantomine he will nevck forget. They could not let their trowsers go, or they would be hobbled ; while the natural deli~ cacy of even a Fenian wotild force them to hold both corners together atthe waist.
