Signs of the Times.
Wc give below a brief sketch of the
? glorification of Napoleon III. in the
- British capital and an extract from
the Fpccch he made on the occasion,
:"which plainly shadows forth the ''no
tions" entertained ly the head and
front of what wc conceive may properly
be termed theUnholy Alliance, composed
of Trance, Great Britain and Turkey.
Happily for this country, the indica
tive are tlat Kustia, at. the head cf the
old Holy Alliance, will find full era J

and diplomacy, in settling "all ques
tions of politics and of human nature,"
until their arrogant notions are some
what ameliorated.
The English papers are crowded witb
accounts of the ever-memorable and ever-to-be-remembered
visit of Napoleon
III. and his wife to the Queen of Eng
land,. Omitting the embellishments,
the facts of the case are, that on Mon
day, the 19th, Napoleon III. and the
Empress Eugenie arrived at Dover,
thence to Wiudsor, remained the guests
of the Queen five days, met with a dis
tinguished reception from the Court
and enthusiastical greetings from
the crowd, were almost overwhelmed
by congratulatory addresses from cor
porations and institutions, and returned
to France amidst a tempest of hurrahs.
In his reply to the Address of the
Lord Mayor of London, the Emperor
said :
"Indeed, England and France are
naturally united on all the great ques
tions of politics and of human nature
that agitate the world. From the shores
of the Atlantic to those of the Mediter
ranean from the Baltic to the Black
Sea from the desire to Abolish Slavery,
to our hopes for the amelioration of
all the countries of Europe, I see in
the moral as well as in the political
world for our notions, but one course
and one cud." (Applause.)

MYSELF.
Where I live is nobody's business
but my own, but that I do live can be
proved by some of my neighbors, who
are kind enough to visit me about once
every twelvemonths. Neither will I
tell how I live: for there is a certain
set always in sjeiety who are eternally
prying iuto other folks' affairs and who
become extremely miserable when they
meet with an individual who is capable
of attending to his own "concerns" aud
of keeping away busy-bodies. Now, so
tar in my pilgrimage through this life I
have been very fortunate iu being able
!to disappoint these meddling beings,
and therefore without more ado, I say
agaiu that I will not tell how I live: ;
but if, by accident, I should iu the some magnetic influence know their au
course of my narrative 'let out" auy ; thor I'll take it for granted she is

do so, but also because they will there'
by assist me in putting at fault those
confounded, (excuse me, but the
thoughts of those people always make
nie curse) impertincut scandal-mongers
that's their right name
A few days ago, wheu sitting in my
m
! piazza, or what was one once, and n-
joying tiic beauties or nature wnicn
at that peculiar "angle ot mclmatiou :
wnicn we bacneiors oniy Know u.w to
enjoy, (for married men, having wives,
begin the second part of Pleasures of
Hope":
"In jo3rous youth, what soul has nev
er known,
Thought, feeling taste, harmonious to I
' ' !
its own?
Who has not paused while Beauty's
pensive C3re
heart the homage of a
sigh?
Who hath not owned with rapture
smitten frame
The power of grace, the magic of a
name?"
"Tlrnks I to myself," these Orst
two lines here's one that can answer
boldly that he is one poor "soul" that
never "knew" anything of that sort.
And then memory ran b:ick with the
speed of thought to the time when first
1, in accordance to, as I thought the
dictates of nature, endeavored to wiu
the heart and hand of one as some say,
of the fairest of created earthly things:
but being at that time (and I do not know
whether to be ashamed or not to confess
that I am so yet) a very bashful and diffi
dent youth, I st od listless by and saw
a brazenfaced impudent young fel
low carry her olf and marry her. Then
it was that I first embraced the opinion
that was prevalent at that time that
women liked impudence better than
worth whether the idea was then or is
now erroneous I leave others to judge,
but being somewhat dogmatical in my
"notions," I will not.
change them
uutil I see the opposite verified.
Time and tide, they say, wait for no
man, neither will a woman: let those ot
my readers who belong to the bashful
"hang back" aud retiring sort, put that
in their pipes and smoke it.
To the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
lines of the poetry juotedj I plead guil-
ty indeed I could not count the times
when' I have "paused" but I pau-
sed too Ions and beauty s pensive
eye, passed out of sight. My . pauses
were as a negro once said, "awful paus
es" he having reference to the size of a
lion's paws and I to the size of time
that I wasted gazing on vacancy.
Sighs of enormous size I drew also, "ab
imo pectore" but my sighing was a
siyn of no good.
Many times have I "owned with rap
ture smitten frame, the power of grace
and t he magic of a name." But I would
rather ten times own the owner of the
name than the "power" and magic" at
tached to it. j
Thus have I, if I may be permitted j
to use a newly coined word, shilly-shallied
my time away and lost forever
those golden opportunities which belong
to 37outh alone. From that time till
now have I been living' the life of a
hcrmited bachelor, cut off from almost
all communication with the exterior
world, "wrapped in the solitude of my
own" gloomy thoughts. And whenev
er I sit down to my one-plated table
and pour out one cup of muddy looking
liquid which my cook persists iu de
nominating coffee, I cannot resist the
thought that if a bright face with spark
ling eyes and all that pertains thereto
were only faciug me at the other end of
the table, in the words ef the celebrated
"cider" song, "what a happy pair
we'd bo "
But if during the day I experience
all the dis.igreeabilities attendant upon
my peculiar life, yet when night draws
her sable curtain o'er terrestrial things,
dreams, sweet dreams of sweet beings
almost reconcile me to it. One face
aud form in particular occupies my
thoughts by day aud visits mo iu
dreams at night. 0! that I had the
"pen of a ready writer," that 1 might
paint in all its glowing colors the en-
chanting beauty of that face. Aud "the!
beauty of it" is, that siuce this fair
countenance first beamed upon me in
"visions", 1 have found that she L no
fictitious being, the creation of my dis
jointed imagination, but a living, breath
ing reality. And what is still better;
I have seen her yea verily have I, in
"flesh aud blood", and that too within
the last three days: and I most hearti
ly concur with the poet who s iys a
thing of beauty is a joy forever."
Perhaps these lucubrations of a ba
chelor may meet the eyes of my dreamy
visitant; if so, perhaps also she may, by
Fahe Rumor.
