On the 15th of April, 1813, at four o'clock in the morning, Napoleon left St. Cloud for the seat of war.
Well might the morning stars sing together, and all the sons of God shout for joy, when first this grand and perfect world swung free from its moorings, flung out its spotless banner, and sailed majestic down the thronging skies. Yet, though but once God spoke the world to life, the miracle of creation is still incomplete.
