I left some pellets with the instructions that one be given every hour. I called Friday morning and found the child much better.

I asked her the same question and the mother said: “ ‘Well, I gave her medicine up to 12 o’clock Thursday night.

V.—Flashes of Obscurity.

The insurrection in Lyons quelled itself before the arrival of Lieutenant Bonaparte’s contingent. The municipality proved itself sufficiently strong to put down tlio insurgents without the assistance of the military arm. FiRhtiug there was none. Napoleon's company, arriving in due time, was stationeil in t the city for a month. It was a small beginning of war for him who was destined, with loss than a decade, to lead a victorious army over the Alps into Italy. The disturbance at Lyons put a date to Bonaparte’s career at Valeuce. He bad remained in that place from the fall of 1785 to August of 1787. This period of twenty-three mouths, though obscure in its manifestations, was one of the most important in his life. It was the

Homo again after an absence of nearly nine years, the young officer busied himself more with things great than things little. He was more concerned with the political condition of the world than with the daily needs of his mother’s house. He dwelt more on the state j of Corsica than on the emptiness of Madame Bonaparte’s cuisine—more on the woes of Ajaccio than on those of his ! brothers’ and sisters’stomachs. Ho con-

Particularly is this true if study have been the mood and genius tho attribute of the person concerned. Tha ambition of tho young officer now shot out in sev oral directions.

It was at this juncture that Napoleon began to concern himself especially | about tho institutions and history of ; England. Along with his Necker he | studied Smith’s “Wealth of Nations,” | then only twelve years from the press. Tho Elizabethan age—not indeed for ' the intellectual glory that was in it, but for its political intrigues—impressed him greatly; and he undertook to do into fiction tho features of that era in a novel entitled tho “Count of Essex. ” Then ho flew back to his “History of Corsica, ” revised the parts which ho had sent to the Abbe Knynal, and pressed on with the rest. Alongside of Voltaire, ho would set up a rival production of his own, called tho “Masked Prophet”—a marvelous and impossible invention out of Persial Literature was thus mixed with affairs; fiction flourished at tho meager meals which Madame Bonaparte was able to set for her family; and anathemas of Joseph’s unprofitable wine-shop were illuminated with paragraphs about the glories of rebel-

lion.

Bonaparte’s leave of absence—so eagerly sought—soon becamensintolerablo to him as to the rest. His paper gave him privilege to be away from his command for six months; but before the end of tho fourth mouth—inventing casuistical reasons—he impatiently left Corsica to rejoin his company. During his

mar!

Wo half suspect that tho bottom motive of this business was not the hope of being a historian, but rather tho distinction of having correspondence with a great man. However this may be, the Abbe indulged Napoleon, wrote to him, advised him to study further, and then to rewrite his work. Not only did the historical ambition have tho Lieutenant, but the romantic also. He took somewhat to novels, and for the first time falling in love, determined to write a novel. At the house of Madame du Colombier, he made the acquaintance of her beautiful daughter, and fell iu love with her—after the manner of all young j lieutenants. The flame of this passion presently went out, but traces of it are seen in his correspondence until what time—ceasing to love Madamoiselle Colombier — ho turned pessimist, de- j nouuced love as a mockery, and in particular .t.j the drawback to human am- . bitten!

teringas ho read, penciling the margins, approving and condemning thu doctrine, according to his judgment or whim. There never was a time in his life when he swept within his grasp a greater amount of intellectual products than during the after part of 1786 and tho first half of the following year. Coincident with the date of the Lynns episode, came a military order sending the Regiment La Fere from Valence to Douai, iu French Flanders, three hmidrod and ninety miles distant. Here Napoleon found himself exposed to northern blasts and unfamiliar hardships. In hia correspondence ho complains bitterly of his situation. He got a fever of i both mind and body, and tho effects of it lasted for several years. His unhap- J piness became extreme, and ho sought : by every means iu his power to escape from the situation. Ho would get away or kill himself! Nor were very powerful reasons wanting why he should go else-

where.

Tho Bonaparte family in Corsica had fallen by this time into desperate straits. Josenb had undertaken to build uo a

race; and of tho French monarchy in particular. But the other tendency drew Franceward with equal stress. It was from tho powerful fact, of Franco that all benefits had thus far flowed to tho family of Bonaparte. By France ho had himself been educated. Besides, Corsica, even as an independent state, was a limited field of action. France is great. France offers world-wide distinction. Our commission as Lieutenant of artillery is a French commission, and our very sword is a French blade. But our "History of Corsica” isa patriotic and insurrectionary document It is inconsistent with our allegiance, and hurtful to what France may promise hereafter. Therefore wo would better shuffle, and rewrite our book. We will put it into the mouth of a Corsican patriot of the old Genoese faction, to which tho family of our mother Ramolino once belonged. In its present form we make a copy of it, and send it to tho great Paoli in London; but he returns it to us, putting us off with tho counsel that wo are as yet immature, “too young for writing history,” and adding words to the effect that onr book is not suffi- i ciently original. In truth, our mind is a vortex, a maelstrom of conflicting tides. Here at Auxonne, during our stay j of eighteen months, we will sit down again, insatiable, in solitary gloom, and devour the greatest things thougiit and written by men whom we shall ono day
