THE FIRST IMPRESSION
Aslant the mist which rob'd the world,
When younger by five hundred years,
The sun's incessant light is hurl'd
In vain, till Gutenberg appears.
Poor sponsers of baptismal clouds,
Till brighter days redeemed the time,
Mankind was wrapp'd in endless shrouds
Which burst before his Art sublime!
What though the prophet, bard or sage -s -
In notes of thunder through the earth-
- Proclaire'd reform in every age,
• From Adam's sin till Printing's birth
All, all, was vain !—the wmId was dark,
As poets sing of Lethe'swave,—
When types first form'd the mighty ark
Which saved it from a moral grave!
Behold the trinity of men
Like earthly gods, revere the page
Which started from the platten, when
The 3ire of types that -shocked the age!
The First Impression held beneath
Its vellum face, which rairrorrd 'mind.—
' A prospect from a reign of death
To all the glories of mankind!
A MYSTERIOUS CYPHER.
AN HISTORICAL INCIDENT, SHOWING WHY RONA-
PARTE DID NOT INVADE ENGLAND.
•
At the tine when the first Napoleon had
sembled his fleets and transports in Brest, wi
view of making a descenv upon England,
greatest precautions were observed by the
glish government in regard to correspond
from France, and an amount of espionage,
practiced at the post -office, -which left Sir
Graham's subsequent performances in that
far behind. The national excitement was
tense, and the titical departments of
government were inistrated with an irons
The despatches to and from the Admir
were the subject of the greatest vigilence

not permitted to send . or receive letters w
were not first submitted to the chief el
and it was believed that letters addreseede
to theirprivate residences were frequently- ope
at the post -office.
At the time I speak of, the chief clerk was
elderly man of the name of Parker --a wizen
wiry, dapper individual so imbued with the
cial tincture of Whitehall, that it had bee
second natim to him. He lived and breat

withal, a genial and kindly soul, keen
energetic in the affairs of his office, and in
others a mere child.
He had engaged as his private secretary
young fellow by the name of Beaumont,- Iv
was one of the most promising subordinates
the establishment. Be was a modest, URaSSU
ing man, very good-looking, with a countena
and an air suggestive of depression and mel
holy. He was evidently of f:irood education, a
robably well born also, for leis manners w
asy and indicated good breeding. He was
ative of Jersey, and had been introduced in
he notice of the Admiralty, authorized by so
in
p
Bfluential membenof Parliament. He was mu
ked in the office, and discharged his duties

One morning Parker pi esented himself
ore Sir George Trevor with a visiage pale wi
oe, and trembling with excitement.
"Why, what is the matter, Parker? H
Bonaparte come ?" ; -
"He may have- for aught I know." said Pa
ones "Things are all wrong, Sir George."
"What is wrong?"
"The letters are wrong. There is a spy
ong us. I have known it long; now 1
uite sure; but I"cannot find him out."
Parker went on to eiplain that he had for som
ime suspected that some one in the office co
unicated. their private, information and di
retches outside. Ile had redoubled his pr
utions, but more than ever confirmed in h
spiscions, was entirely baffled in his endea

"But Parker," said Sir George, "how do yo

"But the funds. Sir George. They answer t

"Have all the letters to the clerks been ex

"Yes; I read them all myself."
"Find nothing in them ?"
"Mighty little. Some are from home, som

smile, "and rum things they say in

to, and are sent by the clerks for the next week

So Sir George had the letters for a week,- and

cribed them. The suspicions symptons increas-

months ago, and I gave him leave to see her for
afew minutes in my room. But he knew it was
against the rules, and has not seen her here

"But what are we to do ?" said • Sir George;
"' I think I will speak to the first Lora
So he spoke to the First Lord, who thought
the affair serious enough.

It cannot be in the letters, said Sir

you cannot find it there, perhaps another can. I
would try an expert.
Sir George had no faith in experts, or Bow
Street runners, and mistrusted them. But he
could net refuse to try the experiment suggested
So the most experienced decipherer inLondon was
summoned into council, and to him the letters of
the day were secretly au bmitted.
He read them all very carefully looked at
them in the light, and looked at the light
through them. At last he put them all aside,
excepting one from Elinor Beaumont. " Who is tip lady who writes this?' said the
taciturn man of skill at last,
"A very sweet young woman," sa• id Parker,
smartly, sister of my private secretary."
"Does she write often
- Yes, she is his .onlycorrespondent and writes
about twice a week."
"Where does she live?'
" She lives in Jersey, Beaumont told me,
their father was in businesathere."
"And does she always write about the same
kind of things—aunt's rheumatism, pic-nics,
squires' tea parties and the like!'
" Much the same excepting when she speaks
of Beaumont himself.'
Hum !' said the expert.
"Well, sir,'. said Sir George, who was rather
irapatient of the man of skill's pomposity, "and
what may 'Hum' mean? Have the young wo-
man and her aunt's rheumatism done the mis-
chief ?'
"Hum ! She dates from. Fleet street?'
"And why should she not date from Fleet
Street, sir ?"
"1• should be very sorry to prevent her, said
the unmoved philosopher, "Has this corres-
pondence continued long ?" .
"011, yes—a couple of years or so, but not
nearly so regularly as lately."
" For how Jong regularly V'
"About two months."
"That is, about the time when you first sus-
pected the betrayal of confidence ?'
Really, my friend, if you can't bee farther into
a millstone than that, you may give up the pro-
fession " said Sir George. "Take my word for
it; the beaumonts have nothing to do with it,
Rubbish !'
" Hum 1" And with that the man pf skill
took his hat and departed, saying he would re-
turn in two days. The two days, hpwever,
were five before he came back, and he was again
closeted with Sir Geprge and Parker, with whom
he had fallen into great disfavor.
" Wants to make a job," said the latter—" a
regular humbug."
"Sir George," said the regular hum.bug, "has
Mr. Beaumont a locked Zesk in his room ?"
Yes, sir,' said Parker, " he has.'
" Have you a key which wili open it ?'
I have—and what of that?'
" I wish to have that desk opened without his
knowledge, and the contents brought to me."
" And on what pretence," said Sir George, do
you propose to put this insult on a man, against
whom there is no reasonable grounds of suspicion
and who has not had a chalice to speak for him-
self ?'
"There need be no insult, for he will know
nothing of it ; neither will anyone else."
'. I will not permit it sir.'
Hum ! Then 1 can do no more in the business. '
But,' said Parker, whose official notions made
him nnwillins to break off the negotiations in
this manner, " what pretence have you for doing
this to Mr. Beaumont, and not to the other
clerks ?'
"Shall I tell you? There is no such person as
Elinor Beaumont, and the address in Fleet street
is a notorious hatuat of suspected foreigners."
'God gracious?' aid Sir George, changing color
'you don't say that.'
It is the fact, but you will see the necessity
of being silent and cautious in this matter. De-
tection hangs on a thread as it stands, anda whis-
per will break it.'
• What do you enema,' said Parker, "about
Elinor Beaumont ? I have seen her.'
'There is no Elinor 'Beaumont in Jersey. I
have sent and ascertained the fact.'
I am sure there is some mistake about all this
which Beaumont can clear up. Let us send for
hiin."
'11 you do, the game is up. I trust
in fact, he does not know pf-my-visits
We cannot be too cautious in thee =littera."
" Pedantic ass," muttered SirAle4rge, "but
I suppose we had better give him his own way.
If yo'i meet Parker and me here at seven o'clock
to -night, we shall have this wonderful desk open-
ed, and your great discoveries shall be made.
They met again that evening. The desk was
opened by Parker, and a bundle of letters, care-
fully packed up, all 'rem Elinor Beaumont, and
a quantity of oirculars, playbills, and shop re-
ceipts were handed to the expert.
That gentleman read through the letters, and
seemed much struck by them.
"Read them," said he handing it to Sir
George.
As the letter is important, I give it entire.

"MY DEAR CHARLES,—Although we had an

POOR COPY
The desk was quite empty, with the exception
of two on three scraps of waste paper. On one of
these the expert pounced, and returned with an
air of elation to the *thee room.
He then unfolded this semis of paper, and dis-
closed a half-sheet,,exactly the size of the paper
on which oblong holes at intervals had been cut
He then placed this half -sheet over the letter,
and handed both, thus placed, to Sir George,
-whose astonished eyes read the following words,
with the holes left visible-:
"Fleet wind -bound, Fifty sail of the line,
02n5 rllazidseyr..„ Should' the wind change expect us
"The devil," said Sir George, and Nehson or-
dered off to the West Indies."
Then was there, as you may suppose, hurrying
and scurrying, and running and chasing, and des-
patches of Government couriers -nand semaphore
telegraphs, and carrier -pigeons, and all the old
world means of communication then in a fashion.
The key, thus obtained, disclosed the whole cor-
respondence, which turned out to be a connected
series of letters from the French Government
smuggled into Jersey. The result histOry knows,
the intended invasion was abandoned, and Napo-
leon -went elsewhere.
Beaumont disappeared from that night, and
• was never again heard of at the Admiralty. It
transpired afterwards that Borne accomplice had
warned hiralof the expert's visit to the Admiral-
ty, and his enquiries in Jersey. The lady who
acted the sister, and who visited the Admiralty,
partly to put the authorities off their guard, and
probably also to interchange the key to the ciph-
er, was a Parisian celebrity who both before and
afterwards, was renowned for her daring in poli-
tical intrigue.
A Romantics Love Story
- The Count de St. Croix, belonging to one of..
the no blest families in Fre:rice, became engaged'
after a long courtship; to a lady his equal in
position and. fortune and famous for her beauty.
Shortly after the happy day was appointed,
which was to render two loving hearts one,
the Count was ordered immediately to the siege
of Sebastapol; so he.girded am his sabre, and at
the head of his regiment m4rched. to the battle
field. During the Count's absence it happened
that the beautiful affianced had, the small pox.
After hovering between life and death she re-
covered, but found her beauty hopelessly lost.
The disease had assumed her case the most
virulent character, and /eft her not [only dis-
figured, but seamed and scarred to such an
extent that she became hideous to herself, and
resolved to spend the remainder of lir days in
the strictest seclusion.
A yearpassed away, when one day the Count,
immedielely upon his retnrn to France, accom-
panied b his -valet, presented himself at the resi-
dence of his betrothed and solicited an inter-
view. This was refused.' But he with the per-
isistance of a lover pressed his suit, and finally
the lady made ler appearance, closelymuffled,
in a veil. At the sound of her voice, the Countt
rushed forward to embrace her, but stepping
aside, she trembingly told him of her sorrows,
and burst into tears. A heavenly smile broke
over the Count's handsome features, as raising
bis hand above, he exclaimed:
"It is God's will. I am blind."
It was even so. When gallantly leading his
regiment to an attack, a cannon ball passed so
closely to his eyes that while it left the expres-
sion unchanged, and his countenance unmarked
'it robbed him forever of his sight. It is almost
unecessary to add that theirmarriage wasshortly
afterwards solemnized. -
It is said that at this day mayoften be seen at.
the Emperor's receptions an officer leaning upon
the arm of a lady closely -veiled, and they
seem to be attracted to the spot by their love of
music.

Not the Law
A good story is told of Judge presiding
in one of the Supreme Court districts in Western
New York;
An action was brought in his court for one
thousand dollars for damages for assault and
battery. The facts were that the defendent,
while walking in the street with his wife on
his arm, was rudely accosted by the plaintiff,
whom he had in some way offended, and was
called in loud and insulting terms an approbious
epithet. On being thus addressed, the defend.
ant left his wife and knocked down the ridaintiff,
who thereupon brought this action. The judge
sympathized very strongly with the defendant,
but, as the case was closely tried by the plaintints
attorney, he knew that if there was a peg given
the latter whereon to hang an exception to his
charge, the clever lawyer would get a new trial.
So, when the violence to the law had.. been duly
expatiated upon in the summing up. the judge
arose and charged the jury as follows
"Gentlemen of thejury, if the plaintiff had
met Me walking along the street with my wife's
arm, and had called me what it isnot denied that
he called the defendent, I should have knocked
him down just as tha defendent did.. But, gen-
tleman of the jury, aid is not the law. You may
take the ease gentlemen."
The jury gave the plaintiff six cents damages,
without leaving their seats.

Dinner for Two

way at a locality not far from the Belgian frontier
and went to ahotel which we refrain from men-
