THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1880.



the death of napoleon at ST. HELENA. “A willow, which had been the exile’s favorite, was tom up by the hurricane . . . Napoleon’s parting spirit was deliriously en gaged in a strife more terrible than that of the elements around, The words Tele d’armeJ, the last words which escaped his lips, intimated that his thoughts were watching the current of a heady fight.” —Sir Walter Scott’s Life of Napoleon. That night a mighty storm arose, A warrior’s death presaging : Helena’s cliffs, like giant foes, Opposed the ocean’s raging. The dying soldier oft before Had faced Death, pale and gory, And in a dream he trod once more The distant fields of glory. Again he braves his wintry way Through snows of Alpine passes, And Austria’s armies melt away Before his rushing masses. On Lodi’s Bridge he treads again, Death’s leaden shower defying ; And now beholds Marengo’s plain Heaped with the dead and dying. “ Soldiers, advance where glory leads, Tho’ desert wilds enfold you, From Egypt’s hoary pyramids Four thousand years behold you. Your General leads o’er mount and plain, Once trod by Alexander, To win for France a prouder reign From Indus to Scamander.” He feels the crown of Charlemagne His kingly brow caressing ; Now sees the nations armed again— Their myriads forward pressing. The soldier leaves the Imperial throne, A monarch’s robes declining ; Till on their ruin the glorious sun Of Austerlitz is shining. He gazes on a subject world From Moscow’s ancient palace ; He sees God’s tempests at him hurled, And drinks the bitter chalice ; He hears the aged Pontiff King, His captive, yet his master ; And now the marching thousands bring Him ruin and disaster. Now, troubled is Napoleon’s soul, And Bertrand hears words spoken, That tell of battle’s noisy roll, And soldiers’ ranks all broken. “ Tete d'armee,” said the dying chief, And his last words are blended With the shrieking wind and the cry of grief— Napoleon’s life is ended ! The thunder rolled, and the lightning red Flashed o’er the moaning billow, And from its roots the tempest laid Napoleon’s weeping willow. All watched and wept in the isle that night, As the passing bell was tolling, With sound unheard in the tempest’s might When died the great Napoleon ! Ashburton. F. P. O’R. Alfred Harrison.

THE Petition of the undersigned Rate payers of the Upper Ashburton and Mount Somers Road Board Districts, in • the County of Ashburton, drawing Your ! Excellency’s attention to the following facts, and petitioning Your Excelleny thereon, humbly sheweth : Ist. That we desire to draw Your Ex cellency’s attention to the advisability of ; constituting all that portion of the Upper Ashburton and Mount Somers Road Board Districts, within the Boundaries hereinafter described, a separate Road Board District, and have to request that Your Excellency will grant the separation ■ prayed for on the grounds given in this Petition. 2nd. The Upper Ashburton Road Board District consists of a long narrow strip of country, and the proposed new district is situated at the extreme end of the same, and from its isolated position, your Petitioners consider that it cannot be satisfactorily worked by the existing Boards. 3rd. That your Petitioners consider that from the nature of the country, being free from swamps, and. not requiring any ex pensive works ; as drainage, bridges, cul verts, and costly road making ; therefore that your Petitioners can manage their own portion of the district with consider ably less outlay than it costs them being attached to the present districts. 4th. That the existing Road Board offices of the Upper Ashburton and Mount Somers Boards are about twenty and eighteen miles respectively from the centre of the proposed new district which makes it most inconvenient for your Petitioners having business to transact with the said Boards. sth. That the great increase in the population of the district desirous of severance, of itself shows the existing necessity for the same. 6th. The Boundaries of the proposed new district commence at a point on the Great Southern Railway at the centre of the Rangitata River, and going south west along the said railway line, to the south-east side of township Reserve, No. 1371, at Township of Hinds, thence leav ing the railway line, and going by the public road, bounding the said Reserve to its junction with the railway on the north cast side of same Reserve, and along the railway until ’it reaches a point at the centre of the River Hinds, thence going north-east along the centre of the said River Hinds to the Forks, and by the north branch of the said river, to the south-west boundary of Reserve No. 1357, and along the same to the centre of the River Rangitata, thence going south east down the centre of the same rivor to the starting point. The proposed Road Board District consists of portions of the present Mount Somers and Upper Ashburton Road Board Districts as delineated upon the ac companying map. 7th.
