Home at St. Helena. Sre Bony, tins is you. ........
The Emperor, during his resilience under my
father's roof; occupied only one room and a
marquee. '..The room my fuller hatl built for a
hall room. There was a small lawn in front;

-way. 1 lie marquee was tni'ieu into iwo com
partments, the irtner one forming Napoleon's
lied room, and. at one extremity of the- extern:)!
compartment there was a small tent bed, with
green silk hangings, on which General Gonr
geaud slept. It was the bedstead used by the
Emperor in al his campaigns. Between the
two divisions of the lent was a crown, which his.
devoted servants had carvrtl out of the turf floor,
and it was so placed that the emperor could nwt
pass through without placing his foot on this em
blem of regal dignity.-
Napoleon seemed to have no penchant for the
pleasures of the table. Ue lived very simply,
and cared liltlo or nothing about whtt he ale. lie
dined at nine, and at that hour Capi 1,111.1. 1I10 mai

found revercnce"said in 1 solemn tone, 'I.e diner
tie voire majeste est servi.' . . ..
lie then retreated backwards, followed by Na
poleon and thoscof his suite who were to dine
with him.
When he had finished, he wouli abruptly
push away his chair from the table, afld qui 1 the
dining room, apparently glad it ws over. A
few days after his arrival, hie inviied my sister
and myself to dine wiili him, ami began quiz

for living on frogs, and running into the house 1
brought him acarricature of a long lean French
man, with his mouth open, his ongue out and a
frog on Hie tip of it, ready to jump down his
throat; underneath Was wtiueii, 'A Frenchman's
Dinner.'
lie laughed at my impertinence, and pinched,
my cars as he often did when amused, and some
times when a litile provoked at my espieglerie.
Le petit Las Cases, ashe called Las Cases'
son funned one of the party on that duy; he was
then a lad of fourteen, and the Emperor was
font) of quizzing him about me, and telling me I
should be his wife. Nothing enraged mo so
much; I could not hear to be considered such a
child, and particularly at that moment, for there
was a ball in prospect to which 1 had great
hopes of papa allowing me to go, nud 1 knew
his objection would be founded on my being loo
young.
Napoleon seeing my annoyance, desired young
Las Cases lo kiss me, and he. held both my
hands whilst the little page saluted me. 1 did
all in my power lo escape, hut in vain. The
moment my hands were at Uierty, 1 boxed Le
petit Las Casus' ears most thoroughly. But I
determined to be revenged on Napoleon ; and in
descending to the cottage to play, whilst an op
portunity presented itself, which I did not allow
lo escape.
There was no internal communication between
the part occupied by the Emperor and the rest of
the house and the path leading down was very
steep und very narrow; there being barely room
or one person to pass at p time. Napoleon walk
ed first, Las Ca-es next, then his ton, and lastly
my sister Jane.
1 allowed the party to proceed very quietly,
until 1 was left about ten yards behind: and then
1 ran with all my force on my sister Jane. She
fell with extended hands 011 the I till e page, he
was thrown upon his father, and the grand cham
berlain, to his dismay, was pushed against the
Emperor, who although the shock was somewhat
diluted by the lime it reached him, had still some
dillicully from the steepness of the path, in pre
serving his footing.
1 was in ccslucies at the confusion I had crnal-
I ed, and exulted in the revenge I had taked for the
kiss; but 1 was soon obliged to change my note
of triumph.
Las Cases was ihtindcrslruck at the insult of
fered lo the Emperor, and became perfectly fu-
rious at my uncontrollable laughter, lie seized
me by the shoulders and pushed me violently on
llic rock bank. ,
It was now my turn to be enraged; I burst
into tears of passion, and turning to Napoleon,
cried out.
'(), sir, he has hurt me.'
Never mind,' replied the Emperor. 'Nc
plenr pas 1 will hold him while you punish
I. 1111.'
At da good punishment he got; I boxed the
litlle man's ears until he begged for mercy; but I
would show him none, and at length, Napoleon
let him gp, telling him to run, and if he could
not run fasler.than me, he deserved lo be beaten
aain.
He immediately started ofT as fast as'he could,
and I alter him, Napoleon clapping Ins hands
and laughing immoderately at our race round the
lawn.
Las Cases never liked me nfier this adventure,
and used to call me a rude hoyden.
1 never met with any one who bore these kind
of things so well'as Napoleon. Ho seemed lo
enter into every sort of inirtli or fun with the
glee of a child, and though I have often tried his
patience severely I never knew him to lose his
temper, or. fall back upon his rank or anger, to
shield himself from the consequences of his own
familiarity and indulgence to me. Hooked upon
him indeed, when with him, almost as a brother
or companion of my own age, and all thecau
lions I received, and my own resolutions to treat
him wiili more respect and formaliljy were put lo
flight the moment t came within the influence of
his arch smile and laugh.
If I approached him more gravely than usual,
and with a more sedate" step and subdued tone,
he would, perhaps, begin by saying-
'Eh beiu, qu' as tti Mademoiselle Betsee ?
Has le petit Las Cases proved inconstant? If he
has, bring him to me;' or some other playful
speech, which either pleased or teased me, and
made me at once forget all previous determina
tions to behave prettily.
M y brothers .were at this time quite children,
and Napoleon used to allow them to set on his
knee and amuse themselves by playing With his
orders. More than once he had
cut them oil" to please them.

secx,' vrhirh he certainly never could have been,
even in his thinnest duvs.
His hands was the fattest and prettiest in the
world, his knuckles dimpled like those of baby,
fiiis lingers taper and beautifully formed, and his
nails perfect. '
I have often admired its symmetry, and once
lold him it did not look large and strung enough
to wield a sword. Ibis led to the (object of
swords; and one of the emperor's suite who was
present, drew his s.ibre from its scabbard, and
pointing In some stains on the blade, said it was
the blood of Englishmen. The emperor desired
him to sheath it, telling him that it was bad -taste
to boasl. particularly before ladies.
Napoleon then produced from a richly emboss
ed case, the most magnificent sword 1 ever be
held. The sheath was composed of one entire
piece of most splendidly marked tortoise shell,
thickly studded with gold bees. The handle
not unlike a fleur de lys in shape, wrs of Exqui
sitely wrought gold. It was, indeed, the most
cosily and elegant weapon I had eve seen.
I requested Napoleon 10 allow me to examine
it more closely, and then a circumstance which
had occurred in the morning, in which I had
been much pinned at the Emperor's conduct,
flashed across me. Tlie temptation was irresis
tible, and 1 determined 10 punish htm for what he
had done.
I drew the blade out quickly from the scab
bard, and began to flourish it over his head, mak
ing passes at him, the emperor retreating, until at
last 1 fairly pinned him up in the corner. I kept
telling him all t he time, that he had belter say
his prayers, for I was goinz to kill him. My
I exulting cries at last brought my sister lo Napo
leon s assistance. She scolded mff . violently,
and said she would inform my father if I did not
instantly desist. But I only laughed at her and
maintained my post, keeping the emperor at bay
until my arm dropped from sheer cxhauilalion.
I can fancy I see the figure of the grand cham
hcrl.nn now, with his spare form and parchment
visage, glowing with tear lor the emperor sale-
ty. and indignaiion at the insult 1 was offering
him. Ho looked as if he could have annihilated
me on the spot; but he had felt the weight of my
hand before on his ears, and prudence dictated to
linn to let me alone.
When. I resigned my sword, Napoleon took
hold of my ear, which had been bored only tlie
day before, and pinched it, giving me great pain.
I called out, and then I e took hold of my nose,
which he pulled hearijly, but quite in fun.
II is good humor never left him during the whole
scene.
The following was the circumstance which ex
cited my ire in the morning.
My J'aiher was very strict in enforcing our do
ing a French translation every day, and Napole
on would often condescend lo look over them and
correct their faults. One morning I felt more
than usually averse to performing this tssk, and
when Napoleon arrived at the collage, and asked
whether the translation was ready for htm, 1 had
not even begun it.
When he saw this, he look up the paper and
walked down to the lawn with it to my father,
who was preparhtg'to mount his horse to ride to
the valley, exclaimed as he approached.
'Dalfofiib voila li: theme do Mademoiselle
Batsee. Qu'cllc a Men travaille;' holding up, at
the same lime, the blank sheet of paper.
My father comprehended imperfectly, but saw
by the sheet of paper, and my name being men
tioned by the laugliirg Emperor, that he wished
me lo be scolded, and entering into the plot, he
pretended lo be very angry, and threatened if I
did noUinish my translation before he returned .
lo dinner, I should be severely punished. He
then rode off, and Napoleon left me laughing at
my sullen and inoriilirtl nr. And 11 was the re
collection of this which made me try to frighten
! him with the sword.
j The Emperor, in Die course of the evening
j desired a quantity of bijeurterie to be brought
i down 10 amuse us, and among oilier things the
j miniatures of the young King of Rome. He
seemed gratified and delighted when we express
ed our admiration of them. He possessed a
; great many portraits of young Napoleon. One
! of llieni represented him sleeping in his cradle.
which was in the form of a helmet of .Mars, the
banner of France waved over his head, and his
tiny right hand supported a small globe. . y
1 asked the meaning of these emblems, and
Napoleon sajj he was to be a great warrior, and
the globe in his hand signified he was to rule the
world. Another miniature on a snuff box, rep
resented the little- fellow on his1nees before a
crucitix, his lipids clasped, ami his eyes raised
to heaven. Uiiderneaih"wete ihese words:
"Je prie bon Dieu poor won pore, ma mere,
el ma palrie."
It was an exquisite thing.
Another portrayed him with two lambs, on
one of which lie is riding, and the other he is
decking out with ribbons. The Emperor told us
these lambs were presented lo his son by the in
habitants of Paris an univarlike emblem, and
perhaps intended as a delicate hint to the Empe
ror to make him a more peaceable citizen than
his papa.
The Paschal lamb however is, I believe, the
badge on the colors of a distinguished Briiish reg
iment, and perhaps may be intended lo remind
the soldier that gentleness and merry are not 111
coitsislent with the fiercer and more lion-like at
tributes of his profession.
We next law another draMne in which the
Empress Maria Iouise and her sou were repre
sented, surrounded by a sort of halo of roses and
