lo her fallen brother than she had

ever done in his most prosperous

6tate. She returned him a magnificent

thain of diamonds with which he had presented her when the wealth of Eu

on his accepting her most costly orna

attending his rash enterprise; and even

after his exile to Est. Helena, she con tinued to send him proofs of her alFcc

her, when contrasted with the selfi-h indifference exhibited towards the fallen

chief by others of his relatives, who were much be tter able to serve him. Madame Borghese detests her pre

sent husband as much as the first; indeed she could never love the man whom she was r quired to obey. She is, however as cordially execrated in return. She occupies one wing of his palace at Rome,

the greater part of his time is passed at Florence, and he has caused all communication between the two sides of the palace to be closed, that he may not be cursed with the sight of his wife when

he visits the Eternal City. Still she is

not unnoticed by the fashionable society

of the place. Her vivacity, her man ners.her rank, and above all, the friend

ship of the late Pope, have apparently

destroyed all remembrance of her for

mer irregularities, especially in a coun

try where conjugal infidelity is scarcely

considered a crime. That a Pont iff so

good as Pius VII. should have deigned to notice such a woman, might occasion

much surprise, were it not known that

I went to-day (r nday) to see a military execution which took place in the rear

of the Ecole Militaire, opposite the Bois

du Boulogne. The culprit Fournet, a

soldier of the fourth regiment ol Guards,

in a tit of revenge and y a!ouy, had shot his sergeant. He was a very fie look

cause, however of the fatal act of re-

he part of the sergeant to deprive him

which was refused and the chall ;:ger subjected to punishment in consequence.

But this expedient had no good effect; she continued dissipated and worthless as ever. The hotel which Pauline inhabited in Paris was capacious enough for her real wants, but not for her inclinations. She learned that the apartments of the ad i joining house were exactly on a level with her own, and requested the proprietor either to sell her the whole or let her apart of it. She even offered a sum far beyond its actual value. As his circumstances were easy, and as he was attached to a residence in which his life had passed, he refused.

In a fury he resolved to try what justice he could obtain from the laws, but the lawyers hinted to him, that to commence proceeding against the sister of the Emperor would be high

FAITH AND GOOD WORKS.

The doctrine of assurance, which of

late has become so familiar among the valetudinarians in Scotland whether orthodox or not, is assuredly one of the most comfortable of all fearless and impudent sinners. Last summer a reverend gentleman who has most successfully expounded this doctrine, and distinguished himself for zeal in proselytising the chance visitants of his parish, happened to get into keen controversy on tbe subject of assurance with a ferrvman while crossing one of the locks near Glasgow. Johnr the boatman, had a mind of his own on the question and felt proud to discuss the nice point of faith with his pastor. The latter, with his usual fervour, unfolded his views and marshalled forth his arguments, all, as the satirist has it, tSweel nailed wi' scripture." John found the talk all against him, and tried in vain to thrust in a word but no; reason followed after reason, illustration clustered about illustration and quotation thundered after quotation, unceas-
