Am Id Story, with ? New Moral. By JULIA WAIID UOWB. Petroleum Cinderella dances with n pretty fellow. And her pumpkins turn to carriages, her ruts to horses fine : . , fate Strikes grimly on the dial, with a sonnd of no dental, , . ,, And her Butins cense to rustle, and her dla mouds ccusc to slilue. Ferth Into the chilly darkness, In her solitude aud and starkness Goes the bloom of dissipation, with no lovely fruit behind; With no strength condensed In meekness, with no holy mil uro weakness, With no thorn of resolution, with no after growth of mind. Bask to vermin shrink her horses, on her pole and ghostly courses. Rags replace her recent splendors, unadmirctl her beauty wanes: She bemoau? the mocking fairy who uplifted her unwary Through a paltry prluc of pleasures, to a mul titude of pains. XAjPOJjKOX'S MCJLJLT.il. State Influence of the Empress. The Paris correspondent ol the London Kcwb, writing on the 12th ult., says: Your readers may perhaps remember that I was the first person who, even at the end of last win ter, distinctly aftlnued that Louis Napoleon would never venture to resist the onward movement that was then beginning. Almost all the press of the Continent took the opposite view of Ihc situ ation, and alfcctcd to believe (or did believe) that the Rmperor would consent to no modifications of tho constitution In illiberal sense. My estiinntc of tho excessive timidity nnd uncertainty of the Kmreror's character led me to the opinion lex pressed, and you sec that I have not been wrong, lie began by giving In to popular opin ion, because he was afraid of not doing so ; he has ended by naturalizing all his first theo retical concessions from the same motive fear; tho fear of yielding too much. Ilut I do not think that ovcu at this moment. nft?r so much bus occurred to prove tho impossibility of the duration of the empire?I do not think that even now you arc uwarc of what the strength of tho antl-dynastlc sentiment here baa grown to. At no period of modern French history has the public feeling of the country been so unanimous or so powerful. It was nothing approaching to Its present stale in 1830. Men who were actors lu the July revolution tell you that It could not have had a chance of success had the government hnd beforehand the slightest suspicion of the impres sion likely to be produced by the fatal ordon nances. The movement of 183* was a very cir cumscribed one compared to that which agitates the country now, nnd if you rend one after the other the famous articles or the Journal des D? bats, ending "Malheureuse France ! Malheureux Kol I" aud any leader ol the Happel or other ad vanced newspaper of the present day, you will see how Immeasurably preferable was the position of the already doomed Charles X to that of the ex hausted Crcsar, who still fancies ho can dispose of the army, and .whose Di?f^>'Sr~UuKb siouo donhicd with 'epithets suchjra victor jiul" ? dajc4tojitlfir.ai.'?^ liobiiity or health of me enter or the State has virtually subjected him to the energy and dictatorial spirit of his wife, who rules now, with the notion of being cele brated os a second Maria Theresa. The Empress ts a very Inferior person, with, as I have more than once told you, a will of singular tenacity. This obstinacy is Yield by her to be synonymous With power?with real strength. Tho principal object of her recent ctfOrts has been the de facto banishment of all her spouse's old friends nnd as elates. She has always disliked them Intensely, and for more than one reason, and she has never forgiven any ono of tltcm the attempts they one and all made to prevent her marriage with Louis Napoleon. Hut she lias most perfectly disguised her BCntlmcnts, and until the hour when circum stances gave her preponderance In tho govern ment tho Empress was friendly with everybody? with M. de Pcrslgny as with Count Wnlcwskl: with M. doMorny, with M. Drouyn'de Lhuys, with M. Fould and with M. Rouhcr. lier first act of real au thority has been tho getting rid of General Floury, and a great sensation It creates. It Is quite true that one argument used by the Empress Is a very Strong one ? the notorious absence of moral worth or personal, respectability on the part of LouIb Napoleon's private friends aud out-and-out adherents. She puts this forward now on all oc casions; and there Is now no defending tho per sons Bhc condemns. Hut whom docs she propose In their stead v Men politically worse, because they arc utterly wanting In any faith lu that which they arc required to uphold. Men like General Floury, who remember tho early days of the February Revolution, and what the temper of the country then was, know what the present movement means, and what It may cotnc to; be sides which, having been raised from nothing to rank and wealth, they aro disposed to do what ever may he necessary to preserve their poslttou, and their Bight Is proportionately sharpened. Tffere would be no reason why the man who mainly helped to commit the crimes of the coup d'etat (without whom Louis Napoleon never would have ventured to commit it) might not become be inaugnrator or nil freedom in France; all ho Is aiming at ts not losing Hie advantages ho possesses, and once prove to him that the country will have its old liberties, or throw Off those who refuse them, and General Hey.ry would indubitably, were ho minister, do every - . thing that his own Interests demanded. Hut the Bmpress' Ideas or government tend In thorough ly different directions. In the first place It Is, In her mind, a humiliation ror a sovereign to he dic tated to by the people, and she looks upon what is called "firmness" as a cardinal virtue (on the eve of '48 M. Gulzot, too, said that "resistance waa tho only form of progress";) and, ndded to Ibis, the first duty that the Empress holds to he Incumbent on France Is that or forcing GlO yoke of the Papacy more and more upon the popula tion. Now, In nil these attempts she meets with the resistance of the so-called entourage, who aro by no means Papistical. She has been for the lost two years trying to get rid of General FIcury : hut, after the many dcathB thnt have deprived tho Emperor of his old companions,, l'crslguy and Flenry are about the only remaining ones, and the Grand Beuger endured. Dcforo leaving for her Eastern Journey, how - ever, the Empress achieved the virtual exile of her adversary. The Gencrol petitioned for Flor ence; but the Empress Insisted on M. dc Mnlurct's remaining there. To his perfect annoyance, then, FIcury la dispatched to ltuasla and the Empress has succeeded. HOYALTYIX Pli VSHIA. Home-Life of the King. A correspondent ot the London Telegraph thus describes the home-life or King William: From the library In the Hcrltn l'alaco it Is hut a Btcp through a side door Into tho rnmous "corner" room, where the King may he Been from the street, siting at his writing table, any morning when he is In Herllti. This room; Crowded with Sain tings, statuettes one, among others, by the rown Princess, or her husband, grasping a torn flag and cheering on his men?busts, etchings, miniatures, and countless other objects of art, is remarkable for ono odd peculiarity: it docs not contain a single sent of any sort, except the King's arm chair and a kind of stool like a saddle upon supports, without nuy back, unrm wiuvjui-d Majesty mounts whar Anportancc, such as death mcrrlmts, Ac. Whosoever Is received into this department has to aland while talking to the King, who rises from his chair at the writing table, turns his buck to the window, and hears lu that position whatever his visitor may have to say to him. Leading ou'of the "corner" room Is the coun cil chamber, in which his Majesty presides over tho council or his ministers; a noble npartmcnt, richly decorated nnd hung with costly pictures by modern masters. Tbo last room of the suit is a BOrt of reading room, filled with military sketches ?some splendid wutcr-color drawings or camp r**ncB in tho French nnd Austrian armies?huRe maps, sea pieces, pamphlets and souvenirs or the tented flold. These aro the standards or nil Ihc guard regiments and the drunu or the Garde du orps. always In the King's keeping, save on ex traordinarily solemn occasions, when they aro fetched by compagnies d'eltte, and delivered over with Impressive formality. I forgot to mention two curions objects in the library: one Is a "progressive" map of the Prus sian kingdom, starting with the "Alnrk" of Hrnn denhnrg, In dull brown, nntl showing every suc scsslvo acquisition lu a different color; the oilier is a sort or memento "diary," arranged ror the King by one or bis most trusted servants, every day or the year registered upon a separate sheet of cardboard, whereon nro recorded the several eventH In the King's life of which that day Is an anniversary. This "diary" Is n monument or loving labor und I bought fill dcvoilon on the part of Its compiler; and his Majesty constantly refers to lt. I nollcitt Hint the "Cahier" ror October was represented by a gap In Ihc chest containing the whole series; and on inquiring what had bo corao of it, w'as told that the "King had taken it With him to Kaden." Wcro I to recount nil the anecdotes of the veno ruble Sovereign's goodness nnd amiability that I -heard while visiting his apartments; this letter would swell Into a volume; sunicc It to say, he Is m n?^,.^' ^,lntf K'"-?PC, because lie Is one of the best men thnt ever wore the purple, ornnv other costume whatever. Those who like the writer, have been fortunate enough to learn the true story of his ufe. au? soo htm live. cah r.illy understand how nnd why It bj thai he is so dee J ly loved by his people. * ?A priest was confessing an old croupier at Baden.
