nnd endeavored to appear nt ease.
The grand marshal, after fruitlessly
( curdling his pocket", found that, having
drowsed iu haste, ho li.td forgottun his

"Come, make haste, it is late."
Tho grand marshal, now comprehend
ing tho uuplo.isant situation iu which
ho was placod, nnd thinking that tho
best way to get out of it was to avow
frankly his inability to dischnrgc tho

fusedly "Madame, tny friend and myself left

"Oh, yes 1 fino excuses, truly officers

At tlieso worth, uiett of honor nnd of

overheard, ho turned round, nnd iu a
voico which had caused heroM to trem

"What is this nil about 1"
Hut nt a sign from Duroc. ho remained
impatiently whero ho was. Tho waiter
now stepped forward nnd volunteered to
bo nnswentblo for tho dnbt with which
assurance tho muticsj of tho cafo was
s.ttiMicd. Dureo regarded tho young
man with surprise, uud drawing from
his pooktt n paid watch encircled with
biilliants, said to him
"My friend, you havo nctcel nobly;

"Sir," replied tho waiter, "I havo no

"ttooil, my friend, , said tho grand

On thoir way to tho palace, Duroo re
counted the particulars of tho adventure
to Napoleon, who laughed heartily, nnd
was imn.li pleased by tho generosity of
the poor waiter, who had becomo sccuri

Ou their way to the palace they camo

Duiing this address Napoleon's conn
tcnauco bccaino highly expressive his
eyes Hashed, and his cheeks wero Hushed
with rago. At length ho interrupted
her by saying
"Madame, havo you a husband I
Whoioisho? Can Iscohim?"
"Eli I la I la I ilo not bo angry, mon
Bier I I havo a husband, thank hoaven,
but ho is gono to scok money. Hut
what can you wnnt with him whon I am
hero?"
"Enough, madame, enough 1 I wished
to toll your husband that porhaps I
should send for thoso nice vases "
Ho then loft ho shop, disgusted with
tho woman whoso coolness nnd politics
had so much cxaspcrnteel him.
"Faith 1" said he, when ho hnd re
joined Duroc, "I havo had n sound lec
ture Irom a foolish woman, who seems to
attend moro to politics than hor business.
Oh 1 1 will havo her husband's head
shaved; it is his fault."
Tho Emperor nnd tho grand marshal
now returned to tho Tuillcries, having
both met with adventures, tho ono with
n shopkeeper and tho other with a waiter,
About six weeks after theso occur
rences, Napoleon said ono evening to
Uoroc,
"1 havo nothing to do now; supposo
wo go nnil seo how tho shops look, lly-tho-by,
how did you sottlo the ulnar ut
tho Chinese D.tths V
"Indeed, sire, 1 nm glad you havo
mentioned tho subject, for I had iptito
forgotten nil nbout it."
'That is wrong, Duroc, very wi-onc-.
I may bo allowed to forget such trillcs,
but you "
"Sire, I will immediately malm tl.o
amend honornble."
"Ves, do, and let it bo dond in a way
which will please me; you uudei-stnud.
At tho same timo let tho femalo poli
tician bo ordered to send hor husband
hero with tho two va-.es which I looked
at when I paid her n visit. 1 nm somu
what iu her debt. Ah 1 ah I 'tis my
turn now, and wo shall seo !"
Duroo h iving given prociso directions
to ono of ti oimpuiinl footmcnligpatched
him to tho D.iins ChinoN, when ho thus
addressed tho mistress of tho cafo
"Madame, did not two gentlemen
hi eakfast hero about six weeka since,
without settling their bill j,"
"Ves, monsieur," replied tho lady, very
much troubled, seeing that tho inquirer
woro the liveiy of the palace.
"Well, madame, thoso gentlemon
woro the emperor and the grand mar
shal of tho palace. Can I seo tho wait
er who bccaino sccmity for them 1"
"Yes certainly sir."
Tlio mistress rang tho bell nnd felt
very uneasy; she thought of nothing less,
than going to tho palaco to imploro tho
forgivoness of tho emporor. Whon tlio
waiter appeared tho footman gavo him a
roll of fifty napoleons and said to him,
"In addition lo this, tho grand mar
shal of tho pilaco has charged mo to say
that if you havo any favor to ask for
yourself or friends ho will bo most hap
py to grant it"
Tho namo of tho waiter was Dargons;
ho hastened to accept tho kind offer of
tho grand marshal, who instantly mado
him ono of tho imperial footmen. 1 Ie
soon gained tho contidejico of tho Em
press Josephino ar.d became her speei.il
attendant. After hor divorco ho accom
panied her to Malmnisou nml singular
elcstiny of men of this timo -eventually
entered tho scrvico of vVelliugton in
1811.
After tho visit of tho Dains Chinois,
tho imperial footman leachcel tho Pus
sago eles Panoramas, whon ho entered
the shop of tho voluble woman.
"Sir," said he, addressing tho master,
"you nro requested to go to tho palaco
this instant with tho two vases which
tho emperor inquired tho prico of about
six weeks sinco iu your shop. His Im
perial Majesty is now waiting for vou."
"Heaven I" ho cried; "I shall bo
shot!'
Then addressing his wtfo, who was
terribly frightened anil unablo to speak,
ho said:
"I havo no doubt that jou, madame,
lmvo been talking polities to tho emper
or, speaking ill of tho government, us
you always elo; tind this to tho emperor
himself I Whon will you learn to ceasq
your cursed babbling J Ah I I am a lost
uinu I I shall bo shot,"
Hero fright nearly overpowcrod the
poor man, who seemed shocked that his
wifo should have taken the emperor for
a polico spy. Howovcr, ho mustered all
Ids counigo and arrivod with the vases
at the Tuillcries, where ho was immedi
ately ushered into tho prcsenco of Na
polccn, who thus addresseel him:
"So, sir, I havo found yon at last I
am glad to seo you here.'
Then taking from a drawer in his
elesk eight bank notes for a thousand
francs each, ho presented them to the
dealer, who was trembling with fear.and
with difficulty advanced to receive them.
And then, with that peculiar sarcastio
brevity with which ho invariably spoko
when ho wished to reproach, ho added:
"I went tho other elay to your shop.
I bargained for two vases; your wifo
nskeel four thousand francs, telling mo
that thoy cost her five thousand. Well,
although that was a falsehood, I now
givo jou tight thousand; tako them.
There nro four for tho ases nnd four
for jourscli. But tell your wifo if she
eh i . not attend to her domestic affair-,
irtead of politics, 1 will send her where
tho will bo taken cato of, and you, too,
to teach you both to be moro silent. Go,
sir; that is all I have to say to you
