There is a stream whose narrow tide, The known and unknown worlds divide, Where all must go : lis waveless waters, dark and deep. 'Mid sullen silence downward sweep, With moan leas flow. I saw where at that dreary flood, A smiling infant prattling stood, Whose hour had come: Fntaught of ill, it neared the tide. Sunk, as to cradled rest, and died, Like going home. Followed with languid eye, anon, A youth diseased, and pale and wan; And there alone, He gazed upon that leaden stream, And feared to plunge—l heard a scream, And he was gone. And then a form, in manhood's strength. Came bursting on, 'till there at length, He saw life's bound: He shrunk and raised the bitter prayer ; Too late—his shriek of wild despair The waters drowned. Next stood upon that surgeiess shore, A being bowed with many a score Of toilsome years: Earth-bound and sad he left the bank, Back turned his dimming eye, and sank, Ah ! full of tears. How bitter must thy waters be, Oh Death ! How hard a thing, ah me ! It is to die. I mused, when to that stream again, Another child of mortal man, With smiles drew nigh. " 'T is the last prayer," he calmly said, " To me, O Death ! thou hast uo dread— Saviour, I cornel Spread but thine arms o'eryonder shore — i see ! ye waters bear rue o'er ! There is my home." jHtscf Uiineous. XAPOI.KOX'S Tliniii: \VAKMXC;S. The celebrated Fouche, Duke of Otranto. : was retained but a short time, it is well known, in the service of the Bourbons, after ' their restoration to the throne of i ranee. He retired to tho town of Aix, in Provence, j and there lived in affluent ease upon the gains j of his long and busy career. Curiosity at- ! traded many visitors around this remarkable ; man, and he was habitually free in commu- ] nicatung his reminiscences of the great events ! it had been his lot to witness. Oil one ocea- j sion his company assembled in his saloon ' heard from his lips the following story : By degrees, as Napoleon assumed the pow er and authority af a king, everything about him, even in the days of the consulate, began to wear a court-like appearance. All the old monarchial habitudes were revived one by one. Among other revivals of this kind, the custom of attending mass previous to the hour of audience, was restored by Buona parte, and he himself was punctual in his ap pearance at the Chapel of St. Cloud on such occasions. Nothing could be more mundane than the mode of performing these religious services. The actresses of the opera were the ehorists, and great crowds of busy talka tive people were in the habit of frequenting the gallery of the chapel, from tho windows of which the First Consul and Josephine could be seen, with their suites and friends. The whole formed a mere daily exhibition of the court to the people. At one particular time the punctuality of Buonaparte in his attendance upon mass was rather distressing to his wife. The quick and jealous Josephine had discovered that the eye of her husband was too much directed to a window in the gallery, where there rcgular ]y appeared the form and face.of a young girl of uncommon beauty. The auburn tresses, brilliant eyes, and graceful figure of this per sonage, caused the more uneasiness to the Consul's wife, as the beautiful Granger's glances were bent not loss oltep upon Buona parte, than were his upon her. ' Who is that young girl?' said Josephine one day at the close of the service, ' what can she seek from the First Consul? I observed lier to drop a billet just now at his feet. He picked it up.' No one could tell Josephine who tin object of her notice precisely was, though there were some who declared her to be an emigrant lately returned, and one who prob ably was desirous of the intervention of the First Consul in favor of her family. M ith such guesses as these the Consul's wife was obliged to rest satisfied for the time. -liter the audience of that same day had IP)£2SJIKiIIB> WE E 1 18 , 2 , 5J25J(823189 aHWSSTOWSyg passed.Buonaparteexpressed a wish for a drive iu the park, and accordingly went out, attend ed bv his wife, his brother Joseph, Duroc, Cambaceres and liortense Beauharnais, wife of Louis Buonaparte. The King of Prussia had iust presented Napoleon with a superb set of horses, four in number, and these were harnessed to an open chariot for the party. The Consul took it into his head to drive 111 person, and mounted into the coachman's place, the chariot setoff, but just as he was turning into the park, it went crash against a stone at the gate, and the First Consul was thrown to the ground, lie attempted to rise, but again fell prostrate in a stunned and in sensible condition. Meanwhile, the horse sprang forward with the chariot, and were only stopped by Duroc, at the risk of his life* who threw* himself out and seized the loose reins. Josephine was taken out in a swooning state. The rest of the party speedily returned to the First Consul, and carried him back to his apartments. On recovering his senses fully, the first thing which he did was to put his hand to his poekct and pull out the strip ol paper dropped at his feet in the chapel. Leaning over his shoulder, Josephine read upon it these words —' Do not drive out in your carriage to-day.' ' This can have no allusion to our late acci dent.' said Buonaparte. 'No one could fore see that 1 was to play the part of a coachman to-day. or that 1 should be awkward enough to drive against a stone. Co, Duroc, and ex amine the chariot.' Duroc obeyed. Soon after lie returned very pale, and took the First Consul aside. * Citizen-Consul,' said he, ' had you not driven against the stone and stopped our drive, we had all been lost.' ' llow so?' was the reply. ' There was in the carriage, concealed behind the back seat, a bomb —a real massive bomb —charged with ragged pieces of iron, and with a°slow match attached to it —kindled! Things being so arranged, that in a quarter of an our we should have been scattered among the trees at the park of St. Cloud. There must be treachery close at hand. — Fouche must be told ol this —Dubois must be warned !' 4 Not a word to them!' replied Buonaparte; ' the knowledge of one plot but endangers a second. Let Josephine remain ignorant of the dangers she has escaped, liortense, Joseph, Cambaceres—tell none ol them ; and let the government journals say not a word about my fall.' The First Consul* was then quiet for some time. ' Duroc,' said ho, at length, ' you will corue to-morrow to mass iu the chapel, and examine with attention a young girl whom 1 shall point out to you. She will occupy the fourth window of the gallery 011 the right: follow her home, or cause her to be followed, and bring me intelligence of her name, her abode and her circumstances. It will be better to do this yourself. 1 would not have the police to interfere. Have von taken care of the bomb, and removed it ?' ' 1 have, Cit izen Consul.' ' Coino, then, let us again drive in the park,' said Buonaparte. The drive was resumed, but on this occasion the coachman was allowed to fulfill his own du ties. On the morrow, the eyes of more than one person turned to the window in the gallery. J But the jealous Josephine sought in vain for the elegant figure of the young girl- She j was not there. The impatient first Consul, j with his confidant Duroe, were greatly an noyed at her non-appearance, and small was the attention paid by them to tin; service of I that day. The girl was seen at mass no more, j The summers of Napoleon were chiefly spent at Mahnaison—the winters at !St. Cloud and tiie Tuilleries. Winter had come on, and ' the First Consul had he-n holding court in the great apartments of the last of these pal aces. It was the third month, called 'nivose,' j and in the evening Buonaparte entered his carriage to go to the opera, accompuni I l.v j his aid-de-oamp Lauriston, and General Can nes and Berthior. The vehicle was about to start, when a female wrapped in a blaek man- ! tie, rushed upon the place Carousal, made her way into the middle of the guards about to accompany Napoleon, and held forth a pa per to the latter, crying, 'Citizen Consul! read, read !' Buonaparte, with that smile j which Bourrienne describes so irresistible, ! saluted the petitioner, and stretched out his ' hand for the missive. 'A { K'tit ion, madam V j said he, inquiringly; and then continued, i ' Fear nothing ; I shall peruse it, and see jus- j tice done.' 'Citizen Consul!' cried the wo-j man, imploringly, joining her hands. What 1 she would further have said was lost. The ; coachman, who, it was afterwards said, was j intoxicated, gave the lash to the horses, and j sprung off with the speed of lightning. The j first Consul, throwing into his hat the paper 1 he had received, remarked to his companions, 1 I could not well see her figure, hut 1 think the woman is young.' Tho carriage dashed rapidly along. It j : was just issuing from the street of St. Nieho- I | las, when a frightful detonation was heard. \ mingled with and followed hy the crash of ! j broken windows, and the cries of the unin- I jured passers by. The infernal machine had ' exploded ! Uninjured, the carriage of the ! Consul and its inmates were whirled with un diminished rapidity to the opera. Buona parte entered liis box with a serene brow and unruffled deportment, ile saluted, as usual, ; the assembled spectators, to whom the news ' of the explosion came with all the speed i which rumor exercises on such occasions. ! All were stunned and stupefied; Buonaparte | was only perfectly calm, lie stood with ! crossed arms, listening attentively to the ora torio of Haydn, which was executed on that i evening. Suddenly, however, he remembered | the paper put into his hands. He took it out, and read these lines : ' In the name of heav en, Citizen Consul, do not go to the opera to night, or, if you do go, pass not through the street of St. Nicholas !' The warning came in some respects too late. On reading these words, the Consul, chanced to raise his eyes. Exactly opposite to him, in a box on the third tier, sat the young girl, of the chapel of St. Cloud, who, with joined hands, seemed to utter prayers of gratitude for the escape which had taken place. Her head had noeo vering, but her beautiful and flow ing elicstnut hair and her person were wrapped in a dark mantle, which tin' Consul recog nized as identical with that worn by the wc- FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1833. man who had delivered the paper to him at the carriage door. ' Go,' said he, quietly, but quickly, to Lannes ; 'go to the box oppo site to us, on the third tier. You will find a j young girl in a black mantle. Bring her to ; the Tuiileries; I must see her. and without delay. Buonaparte spoke thus without rais- j ing his eyes ; but, to make Lannes certain of i the person, he took the General's arms, and j said, pointing upwards, ' See there—look.' Buonaparte stopped suddenly. The girl | was gone, no blank mantle was to be seen. I Annoyed at this beyond measure, he hurried- ! ly sent oft' Lannes to intercept her. It was in vain. The box keeper had seen such an | individual, but knew nothing about her. ; Buonaparte applied to Foiiehe and Dubois, but all the zeal of these functionaries failed to discover her. Years ran on after the explosion of the in- j fernal machine, and the strange accompany ing circumstances which tended to make the occurrence more remarkable to the eyes of Buonaparte. To the consulate succeeded the empire, and victory after victory marked the career of the great Corsican. At length the hour of the change came. Allied Europe poured its troops into France, and compelled the Em peror to lay down the sceptre which had so long shaken in terror over half the civilized earth. The Isle of Elba became for a day the most remarkable spot on the globe; and finally, the resuscitated Emperor fell to pieces anew 011 the field of aterloo. Buonaparte was about to quit France. The moment had come for him to set his foot in the bark which was to convey him to the English vessel. Friends who had followed the fallen chief to the very last, were standing bv to give him a final adieu. lie waved his hand to those around, and gave a farewell kiss to the imperial eagle. At this instant a woman broke through the band that stood before Napoleon. She was in the prime of woman's life ; not a girl, yet young enough to retain unimpaired that beauty for which she would have been remarkable among a crowd of beauties. Her features were full of anxiety and sadness, adding interest even to her appearance at that moment. 'Sire! sire!' said -lie. presenting a paper hurriedly ; ' read ! read 2' The Emperor took the paper presented to liini, but k-'pt his eye upon the presenter, lie seemed, it may be, to feel at that instant the perfumed breeze in ill" park of St. Cloud, or to hear the choristers chanting melodiously in the chapel, as he had heard them in other days. Josephine, Ihi roe and all his friends, came happily before him, and among them tin- face he was wont to see at the fourth win dow in the gallery. His eye was now on that countenance in reality, altered, yet the same. These illusory recollections were of brief duration. Napoleon shook his head, and held the paper to iiis eye. After perus ing its contents, lie took it between bis hands, and tore it to pieces, scattering the fragments in the air. ' Stop, sire !' cried th< woman, ' follow the advice ! Be warned, it is yt time !' ' No,' replied he, and taking from his finger a beautiful oriental ruby, a valuable souvenir of his Egyptian campaigns, he held it out to the woman. Site took it, kneeling and kiss ing tie- hand that presented it. Turning his head. Napoleon then stepped into ill" boat, which waited to take him to the vessel. Not long afterwards, he was pining on the rock of St. Helena. Thus, of three warnings, two were useless, because neglected until the danger had oc curred, and the third —which prognosticated the fate of Napoleon if once in the power of his adversaries—the third was rejected. ' But who was this woman, Duke of Otran to?' ' Oh,' replied Fotu he, ' I know not with eertaintv.' The Emperor, if he knew ulti mately. seems to have kept it a secret. A if that i.- known respecting the matter is. that a f uiale, related to St. ilegent, one of the authors of the explosion of the street of St. Nicholas, died at the hospital of Hotel Dieu, in 1837, and that around her neck was suspended, by a silk ribbon, the exquisite e*'i ental ruby of Napoleon. ** Pulling Together." IllE TIM E SECRET OK DOMESTIC HAPPINESS. The first vear of married life is a most im portant era in the history ol man and wife. Generally, as it is spent, so is almost all sub sequent existence. The wife and the hus band then assimulate their views and their desires, or else, conjuring up their dislikes, they add fuel to their prejudices and ani mosities forever afterward. * 1 have somewhere read,' says Rev, Mr. Wise, in his Bridal Greetings, 4 of a bride groom who gloried in his eccentricities. He requested his bride to accompany him into tlj.' garden a day or two after their wedding. He then threw a line over the roof of their cottage. Giving his wife the one end of it he retreated to the other side and exclaimed — 4 Pull the line.' She pulled it at his request, as far as she could. He cried, ' Pull it over.' ' I can't,' answered she. 4 But pull with all your might,' shouted the whimsical husband. But vain were all the efforts of the bride to pull over the line, so long as her husband held to the opposite end. But when he came round, and they both pulled at one end, it came over with great ease. 4 There,' said he, as the line fell from the roof, 'you see how hard and ineffectual was our labor, when we pulled in opposition to each other ; hut how easy and pleasant wlmn we both pulled together! it will he so with us my dear through life! 11 we oppose each other, it will he hard work, if we act together, it will he pleasant to live. Let us always pull together.' In this illustration, homely as it may he, there is sound philosophy. Husband and , wife must mutually hear and concede, ii they wish to make a home retreat ot joy ami bliss. One alone cannot make home happy. _ ' here j must lie unison of action, sweetness ot spirit, and great forbearance and love in both hus band ami wife, to secure the great end ol hap piness in the domestic circle. Co sleep well —pay your debts. The Self Taugilt-Servant Girl. V e have always admired the resolution of an uncouth servant girl, brought up in 110 very gentle way, who went to live with a j rich and cultivated lady. There was within j her a love of the beautiful, a dim perception 1 ol the fitness of things, by which she de termined to polish herself, and become every whit as graceful as her mistress. Now here was a herculean labor to perforn,—a vast un- j dertaking for a poor girl, whose companion ! for years had been the pigs and geese around her father's miserable shanty, with a mother whose love for inebriation led her to wallow in filth, and neglect her family for the poisen ol the still—a girl whose skin was begritu rned and tanned to sunburning, and who, in all probability, was doomed to labor among the pots and kettles for th<* residue of her life. But that was what she determined she would not do, and accordingly she set herself to work: and her first lessons were those of observation. She saw much company ; unobserved she watched their manners, some of which her native good sense rejected; the more plea sing she * treasured up in her heart.' Lo! the change! The mistress sees, bringing 011 the breakfast dishes, a comely, interesting girl, with a careful, watchful air, her dark locks put tastefully back somewhat ala mode, her dress re-arranged, her answer respectful, and, though hesitating, correct. Next she is surprised at a modest request lrom the un tutored servant, that by some means she may learn to read. Pleased with this mark of in telligence, she devotes a little spare time to the accomplishment of this object; and her pupil is no dull scholar. Almost imperceptibly, by dint of care and cleanliness, the brown skin grew fair and rud dy, the thick locks hung in curls, the brow developed broadly, and many little elegancies betrayed themselves in motion and attire. This young lady, as she assuredly meant to be, eraved an hour forliorself, if we remem ber right, after her work was over, which privilege she was always to retain, and 111 the peculiar occupation ol which she was never to be disturbed; and her mistress thought no more of it, until, some months after, when passing by her 100111, she fancied she heard strange voices. Curiosity prompted her to look m by means of a trap-door, and there she beheld her * help," iu all the glory of fan cied magnificence, seated near a table, hold ing in her hand a book, and talking quite eloquently with an invisible captain, whom sic was honoring with her patronage. Presently she would get up, managing her movements admirably, bend gracefully, as if inspectingsouie work of art in said captain's ghostly hand, receive a compliment with all the cafless elegance of a leader of the ton", respond in a delicate, dignified manner ; ar range her ebon curls with the top of her fan; glide across the room with the tread of a princess, fairly bewildering the good lady above, who could not make out what it all meant. Finally she bowed the captain out with tiie greatest ease imaginable ; then re turning, took up .Shakespeare, and entertain ed lmr mistress —tmconcious of course—with ' To be, or not to ley read in clear, musical tones. But mark the conclusion of these strange proceedings; the lady's son returned from his travels, and the very first day, not know ing who she was, escorted the domestic home in a rain storm, as any gallant gentlemen would have done. In the evening, lie asked impatiently why his mother's visitor did not appear. '' Wo have no visitor, my son.' she replied. 4 And pray w ho was that lieautii'ul creature that 1 waited upon to this very door? Am 1 hewiteled? Are there fairies yet? 1 cer tainly, in all my journi s, have not met with so agreeable and polished a lady; and here she disappeared.' The protnl woman, in anguish, explained to him that it was only their servant girl, and besought him to restrain his rhapsodies : but he drehired that she was some divinity, and no more adapted to the kitchen than were his mother's porcelain ornaments to a black smith's forge. And he persisted in the idea, married her in spite of his mother's remon strances —even displeasure —and the haughty woman learned to be as fond of her noble daughter, as her son was with his gifted w de. (Mice Jh'dlicit. Government of Children. Anticipate and prevent fretfulness and ill temper by keeping the children in good health, ease and comfort. Never quiet by giving to eat. or by bribing in any way, still less by opiates. For the first few months avoid loud and harsh sounds in the hearing of children, or violent lights in their sight; address theni in soft tones; do nothing to frighten them ; and never jerk or roughly handle them. Avoid angry words and violence both to a child and in its presence; by which means a naturally violent child may be trained to gentleness. Moderate any propensity of a child : such as anger, violence, greediness for tood, cun ning, which appears too active. Show him no example of these. Let the mother he, and let her select ser vants, such as she wishes her child to he. The youngest child is affected by the con duet of these in fthose arms he lives. Let a mother feci as she ought, and she will look as she feels. Much of a child's earliest moral training is by looks and gest ures. When necessary exhibit firmness and au thority, always with perfect temper, com posure, and self-possession. Never give a child that which it cries for; and avoid being too ready in answering children's demands, else they become im patient of refusal, and selfish. When the child is most violent, the mothe.r should be calm and silent. Out-screaming a screaming child is as useless as it is mis chievous. Steady denial, of the object scream ed lor, i.. the best cure for screaming. In such contests, witnesses should with draw, and leave mother and child alone. A child is very apt to look around and attract the aid of foreign sympathy for its little re bellions. Never promise to give when the child leaves off crying. Let the crying he a reason l for not giving. Japanese Gardener. The gardeners of Japan display the most astonishing art. The plum tree, which is a great favorite, is so trained and cultivated that the blossoms are as big as those of dah lis. Their great triumph, however, is to bring forth plants and trees into the compass of the little garden attached to the houses in the cities. With this view they have gradu ally succeeded in dwarfing the fig, plum and cherry trees and the vine to a stature so di minutive as scarcely to be credited by a European, and yet those dwarf trees are covered with blossoms and leaves. Some of the gardens resemble pictures in which na ture is skilfully modelled in miniature—but it is living, natural. Mavlon, whese work on Japan was published at Amsterdam in 1830, states that in 182f> the Dutch agent of Com merce in Naganei, was offered a snuffbox one inch in thickness, and three inches high, in which grew a fig tree, a bamboo and a plum tree in blooom. Health Insurance. A thin cadaverous looking German, about fifty years of age, entered the office of a Health Insurance Company, in Indiana, a few days ago, says the Daily Courier, and iu ! quired— • lsh de man in vot inshures de peoples holts?' The agent politely answered, ' I attend to that business, Sir!' ' Veil, 1 vants my helts inshured ; vot you charge?' i ' Different prices,' answered the agent, 'from three to ten dollars a year; pay ten dollars a year and you get ten dollars a week, in case of sickness.' I ' Veil,' said Mynheer, ' I vonts ten dollar vort.' The agent inquired his state of health. ' Veil, 1 ish sick ull te time. I'se shust out te bod two or three hours a tay, unt te doctor savs he can't do nothing more goot for me.' ' If that's the state of your health,'returned the agent, *we can't insure it. We only in sure persons who are in good health.' At this Mynheer bristled up with anger. ' You must think I'm a fool; vot you link 1 come to pay you ton dollars for inshure my licit ven I ro.s ti-ell.' AN ixvirixo COI'NTKV.—A new settler, somewhere in Missouri, gives the following graphic description of the country and people in that section of Uncle Sam's dominions: 4 As for the country, the land is as cheap us dirt, and good enough ; but the climate is rainy, blowy and sultry. The people die so fast here that every man has his third wife, and every woman is a widow. As for the people of Missouri, they are perfect chris tians. They fulfill the scriptures to the very letter, where it says, " Let Clod be true, but every man a liar.' ABSENCE OF MIND. —An exchange tells of a cooper down east, who, finding considera ble difficulty in keeping one of the casks of a head he was finishing, in its place, put his son inside to hold the head up! After com pleting the work much to his satisfaction, he was astonished to find the boy inside of the cask, and without a possibility of getting him out, except through the buug hole. ATTRACTION. — 4 John, can you tell me the difference between attraction of gravitation and attraction of cohesion ?' • Yes, sir. Attraction of graidtation pulls a drunken man to the ground, and the attrac tion of adhesion prevents his getting up again.' An ordinance for the suppression of eruel tv to pianos, accordions and flutes, and other offences not amenable to the criminal statutes, has been adopted by the town council of buncombe. Yernionters live to a great age. There are two men up there so very old they have ior gotten who they are, and none of their neigh bors can recollect them. 4 Let's take a horn !' is a phrase of frequent utterance. The blast of that horn may be. the signal to the porter to open the gate ol death.
