Some months before the return of
Josephine from the neighborhood of Mar
and her establishment - in Paris,
General Bonaparte—after the affair of 01-,
hordes where be was a simple lieutenant
of artillery—had been promoted to the
runit of captain (in which grade he served at
the siege of Toulon.) and was sultsegueutly
invested with the command of the army
in Holland; but had received a counter
order from Barras, w4l i the appointment
of Lieutenant Comma!'Mint of the garrison
of Paris; his courage, 'altars- skill. and
strategy before the walls of Toulon having
deeply impressed the latter, who felt that
the mgment had arrived in which the firm
and unscrupulous ambition of such a man
as Bonaparte was essential to the suee4 , s4
of his own projects.
The manner in which the young ads-en.'
turer served the interests of the Conven
tion on the sth of October, 1795. mfliced
to convince Barran that he had been right
in his conclusions. The Corsican exile had
no --compunctuous visitings of conseienee"
where he saw.a prospect of furthering hi
own fortunes ; and even as he had diieaf•
011ioules so did he in the Rue St. Honore,
a here his deadly battery commanded the
church of St. Roch, the rallying point of
the people; and where 12.000 men fell be
fore his cannon.
Twelve thousand lives were sacrificed by
the authority of a mere youth; but the
Convention was saved: and Barran was
thenceforward his avowed protects"; while
the firstfruits of that protection were his
appointment as tienttral of Division.
The Convention was saved ; and Pari. no
longer required the presence or services of
tieneral Bonaparte ; who had, moreover,
during the struggle of the sth of October,
indulged in an independence of action, so
undleguised, that it,reduced his command
ing officer to a mere cipher in the eye., of
his own soldiers; and, happy as Burras had
felt at the successful issue of the day, he
was nevertheless conscious that his own
position throughout the whole affair had
been the reverse of slignified. hit' conse
quently found no difficulty in convincing
himself that Bonaparte might serve the
Republic more efficiently elsewhere than
within the walls of Paris; and he had scarce
ly come to this conclusion, when he ar
rived at another equally luminous.
The young Corsican was a. soldier of for
tune, who had walked the streets of Paris
for months without an aim or a hope—in
debted to a college friend both for the coat
he wore, and the bread with which he broke
his fact—Madame de Beauharnais had been
enabled, through the good offices of Tel
lien, to recover a portion of her late hus
band's property ; and could he only induce
Bonaparte tou her—but we will not
follow him inl l i l in f eductions; let it suffice
that after mature deliberation he spoke to
his protege upon the subject, who evinced
as little inclination as Josephine herself to
the marriage which was proposed to him.
fie had been presented to Madame de

captivity and sufferings of Josephine, now
enjoyed in her society the safety for which
they had paid so high a price.
The favor of Berms. coupled with the
hold exploit ol the Rue St. Honore, had
eausted the name of Bonaparte to be fami

which at that time constituted the fashion

lieetune a constant guest in the modest
drawing-room of 'Josephine; where he

spirit like his, sufficed to keep his 'reelinge
within the boundaries of frtendship land

the sound of the trumpet when liOstras ab
ruptly proposed that he should offer: her
his Land.
"I want no wife save this, ho. said, as
he struck The hilt of his sword; "tnd even
were it otherwise"—
"Listen to me," interposed his patron.
"You are brave, but you are poor; :and
this widow of the Marquis de l3etutharnais,
although far frompossesaing the • fortune
to which, under other clmunstances,' she
must have succeeded, is yet, in a position
to advance your fortune, and to secure
your career. You are. a foreigner and an
exile ; while she is highly connected, and
has influential friends, Who will not fail to
exert all their energies tdoierve the pion
who may become her husband. You will
do well to remember thit."
The young general remained silent. ,
"Hear what I have further to?.ay," pur
sued the commandsuit of Paris. "We are,
as you know. preparing to send an army
into Italy. Marry Madame de Beailhar-
Waft, and I will secure to you the command
of that-army; when it will be- your :own
fault if you do not become one of the lead
ing men of the Republic."
A flush passed over the face of Dona
parte.
" Decide, " continued Barne, -tut you
think proper. With the wife I have pro
posed w you, I pledge myself that you
shall he Uenend-in-l'hief of ;the forces of
France beyond the Alps ; decline themar
riage. and I leave you to work out your
owti destiny."
We all know the result of that conver
sation. The bribe was too tempting o be
resisted; while Josephine proved n less
yielding. Assailed on all sides by a.. uran
ees that not only her own interes but
also those of her children, were invo ed in
her compliance with the wishes of rras,
she finally consented to become the wife
of Bonaparte, who, for a blmrt time, proved
the most devoted of suitors, and the, most
uxorious of husbands.
The marriage. was no sooner decided on
than the republican General, amertitig his
privilege as an accepted lover, frequently
accompanied his fair betrothed tq the
houses of their mutual frien.ls; or saunter
ed with h'er along the stately fertilises of
the Tuilleries, and amid the leaf) shitdes of

You must assuredly be mad ! Will ynur
Bonaparte ever be a Dumouriet, or a Piche
gru ? Will he ever be the equal of our
great republican generals? I have a right
to doubt it. Moreover, let me tell you
that the profession of arms is worthless
now; and I would much rather know that
you were about to marry an army-cont rat
tor than any military man in f ranee."
•• Every one to his taste, Monsieur ;" said
Josephine, stung by the, contemptuous
tone in which he had spoken: "you, it
would appear, regard marriage merely as
an »Mtir of finance. ".
And you, Madame." broke in the ex
cited anti angry old man; "you see in it
only a matter of sentiment, and what you,
110 doubt, call love; is not that what you
were about to say 7 Again I repeat, - all
the worse for you, Madame—all the worse
for-you. I had given you !more credit for
good sense than to suspect that you would
allow yourself to be dazaled by a pair of
gold epaulets. Reflect before you make
such a sacrifice; for rest ;as..sured that, if
vou are rash enough to persist in this fool
ish scheme, you will repent your folly all
the days of your life. Whoever heard of
a rational woman throwing herself away
upon a man whose whole fortune consists
in his sword and his great ;coat !"
While listening to this extraordinary
dialogue, Bonaparte, whb began to fear
that the comment* and advice of Ragui
(tom might militate againat his marriage,
was half suffocated with ;rage and impa
tiene ; he writhed upon his seat, and was
g
a . of times on the point of showing

and desiring the! o 1 cious lawyer
to attent/ to his Laaaesand law-suits instead
of intet-iering in ,matter 4 ifrith which he•
had no right to intermeddlif; As he heard
the words " sword and great-cpat" so dis
dainfully uttered, he sprang from his chair,
his eyes flashed, and, regirdlos_of the gaze
of the astonished clerks, Who were watch

A WORD To APPRZNTICES.—A pprentice
ship is the most important stage of life
through which a mechanic is called to
pass ; it is emphatically the spring season
of his days:- the time when he is sowing
the seed, the fruits of which he is to reap
in after years. If he spares no labor in its
proper culture, he is sure of obtaining an
abundant harvest ; but if, in the culture of
the mental soil, he follows the example of
many in tilling the earth, and 'carelessly
and negligently does his work, like them,
he will find the seeding time past, and his
ground only bringing forth weeds and
briers. Let the young apprentice bear in
mind, when he commences learning any
business, that all hopes of success in the
future are doomed to fade away like the
morning mist, unless he improVe the golden
season. Let him bear in mind that he can
become master of his business only through
the closest application and the most per
severing industry: and that unless he does
master it, he may bid farewell to all the
visiono of future prospects and success.—
The apprenticeship is the foundation of
the great mecluatacal edifice; and surely if
the foundation of a structure be not firm,
the structure itself crumbles and falls ''to
the earth. Then, young friends, pwrsev.:
ere; be studious and attentive. t study well
all the branches of your business, both
practical Ind theoretical—and when the
time shall come for you to take an active
part in life, you will not fail to be of use,
not only in your own particular business,
but in so ci ety.

mountains and great prairies and mighty

yrarThe Lafayette Daily Courier oftite24tb,
relates the following: '• Night befere last, a
deaf and dumb man named Lane, met with a
thrilling adventure and narrowly escaped the
loss of his life, on the New Albany and Salem
road, a short distance below Linden. He was
walking on the track as the passenger train
cams along, and,the engineer .Ipg that be
paid no heed to the warning whistle of the
locomotive, shut down the brake, - but ending
it would be impossible to duck the speed of
the train beforestriking him, ran forward, and
bracing himself upon the cow-catcher, reached
out his strong arm just in time to tare hint.—
The imminent danger of the brim engineer
was greatly augmented by the feet that the
deaf and dumb man had an az upon his shoul
der, from which he might have received serious
injury. Lane was not a littleastonished at the
unceremonious manner in which he had been
picked up, and without comprehending his
narrow escape, struggled in the arms of his
deliverer, to the great danger of both. The
train, however, soon come to a halt, and the
poor fellow, by gigue and gestures , mere elo

the deliverance. He was the MON man who

themselves completely from observation.
A month had passed, and neither friend
nor foe had appeared, and the hunters con
tinued their excursions and penetrated
farther into the interior, where they found
a beautiful country, with a rich soil and fine
streams. On one occasion they had been
absont ten days, and, on returning to their
cabin again, found eveqthing in the con
dition in which they had left it. They now
began to congratulate themselves upon
thetr peaceful and undisturbed occupancy
of the country. Their dogs, however, ap
peared much excited, and kept moving
aboht for some time, as if they were scent,-
ing something unustuil, but at length enter
ed the cabin and composed themselves.— 1
Dilk supposed that some wild animal had
recently passed along, hut Brown was
strongly impressed with the belief that their
habitation was discovered. Before starting
on their next trip, Brown so arranged some
of he articles in the cabin, without men
tioning it td Dill, that the slightest touch
would change their positions sufficienily to
enable them to detect it. The Weather
had now become warm, and, attar being
out; several days, Brown pfoposed they
shonld return to the cabin. Din I remon
strated for some time, but eventually as
sented, and they agreed to start tin their
rethrn trip early the next fnorning, so as
to avoid the heat of the day, havieg some
eitt or ten miles to travel.
bout a quarter of a mile in d from
th *r cabin, in a small open s our ad
veliturers had planted a few ills of corn
and squashes, which soon came up, but re
ceiyed no further attention. In returning
that morning, they digressed a little from
their direct course for the purposeof look
ing a little at their "truck patch.' Imme
diately after they arrived there, their dogs
exhibited unmistakable signs of alarm--
Brown observed it, and immediately com
eter 'cated.his suspicions that all was not
nt to his comrade. After some consults
tio it was agreed that Dill should conceal
himself in the underbrush, and keep one
of ;the dogs with him, whilst Brown would
ta.TFe the other and advance toward the cab.
iii When 'within about thirty rods from
thh cabin, and after reconnoitering the vi
cinity, he motioned to Dill to come on, and
th . two, with their rifles at a trail and their
dat their heels, approached the cabin
together. In glancing over the effects at
the cabin, Brown discovered that somebody
had.been there during their absence, which,
vihdicated his suspicions, and, in his opin
ioh accounted for the strange conduct of
tilts dogs, on the former as well as on the
pt eeent occasion. The ground around the

Nit within sevens yards of her, when she
told htai; in a few words, that shelled been
caption among the Indiana, from whom
she had jest awed, and, with team in her
erytA, asked lie ,td and protection.
Dill then left his place and ocutorialment,
and took both of the rides on his shoulder,
and- went to the'cabin. The three then sat
down on a log together, and the female re
kited her story, which was listened to with
great interest by both the hunters.
She was the dssighter of a wealthy plant
er in Virginia , and had been taken captive
the preceding fall, and carried first .to
eltilioOthe, and afterwards to Sandusky,
where she was adopted into the family of
ses Indisek, who had two sow and two
tea,who generally treated her kindly.
Several weeks prior to her escape, this fun
ny had ctune to the Ohio river in search of
game and plunder, and had encamped ser
eral miles above, where the men construct
ed a light canoe and crossed ?to the Ken
tucky aidie, leaving the women alone at the
camp.
- After their return - in the evening, she
gathered from there conversation thatthere
were white men not far off. They creased
over the river a second time, end. on codt
ing into camp the next evening, held a
council about ..acme matter apparently of
great importiin to them. The next mor
n the men started early in the direction
of " charging the women to re
main about t he camp until their return;
and it was her opinion they had gone for
reinforcements to attack the white men
whom they had discovered. During their
absence,' she formed the resolution of at
tempting an escape, and managed to sepa
rate herself from her companions, and
jumped into the canoe the men had con
structed, and, rowing for life, soon reached
the 'Kentrieky• shore. After iemdering
about for three days, she discovered the
hunters' hut, and then withdrew, resolved
to 'retch for its owners, and if they were
friends, as she doubted not they would
prove to be; to cast herself upon their kind
protection. Her name she gave as Sallie
Green, theeinly danghterof Richard Green,
of. Virginia.
The hunters had a pretty good supply of
wearing apparel left, from which Sallie was
directed to select such articles &severe most
suitable, and make them in to a dress for her
self, which she, promptly did, and the next
day had herself decently clad. Being bare
footed, Dill presented her with a pair of
_shoes and stockings, which, though much
too large for her feet, became of great ser
vice to her afterwards.
What was now to be done? It was quite
manifest that the party's situation was un
safe. The Indians had discovered them, and
would undoubtedly attack them before
many days. The warmsun had opened the
seams of their boacand it was leaky and
unfit for use. The river Was at 'a low ebb,
and it was not likely that any bloats would
soon descend the river on which th,•v might
secure a passage to seine of the set tietuents
below. Alter full deliberation it was re
solved to attempt escape from their peril
ous situation by land, and attempt to reach
the border settlements of Virginia. They
would be obliged to leave their few imple
menti and, stock of skins--but what were
those compared to their own lives, which
would be jeopardized by - remaining much
longer,
A little of their stock of twat still -re
mined, lad they -lied a sufficient supply
of jerked venisonto last them during their
jokrney, and I ;icicles compass by which

fork:m.4g .
their line of ma- for Virginia, through
an unbroken wilderness.
Who can tell what to-morrow may bring
forth! Whilst these preparations were go
ing on at the cabin, the old Indian and his
sons, with two others whom they had met
in the path to Chilicothe,*returned to camp,
and, on learning the escape of the "pale
faced squaw," immediately went to work
and constructed a small raft, on which they
crossed the river in the night, and proceed
ed towards the cabin.-,,Just as it becuxue
clear enough to discern `btdects, the hunt
ers' dogs grew very restless and set up a
low growl.- Sallie expressed her belief of
Indians lurking about. Brown and Dill
seized their rifles, and placed themselves
immediately mitside of the entrance of the
cabin, ready for emergencies. Presently
two Indians were seen approaching with
stealthy steps. They were suffered to come
within range of rifle-shot, and then both
hunters fired and both Indianstfell. Three
others, who had stood concealed behind
some large trees, now rushed forward over
the dead bodies of their comrades, and be
fore the hunters had time to re-load they
were within's few rods of the cabin, bran
dishing their tumaltawks, and yelling, as
they are wont to do when making an at
tack. Brown and Dill pyepared to meet
them, the former with a hatchet, and the
latter with the butt of his rifle. The -.ln
clians paused for a moment in the face of
such a foe, and in another moment a ball
from the rifle in the hands of the maiden
laid one of them sprawling on the ground.
The btinters now sallied out, and, avert
ing the blows aimed by the Indians with
their tomahawks, each grappled his man.
For a time the contest was doubtful, but at
last the hunters got the better of their ad
versaries, and held them firmly. to the
ground, where, with Sallie's aid, they were
securely bound with deer-skin straps. Dill
kept watch orer the prisoners, while Brown
what forth to reconnoitre. Seeing the coast
clear, he quickly returned, and, at the girl's
suggestion, the prisoners, with their arms
pinioned, were led to the river and placed
on their •own raft, which was then pushed
into the current , and, with its live freight,
sent adrift.
Before the hunters had got fairly out of
the water they were greeted with a volley
from the rifles of four Indians, who, it was
supposed, had been lying somewhere in the
vicinity, watching for passing boats, and
were attracted to the spot by the late firing
of the combatants. Dill was shot dead, but
Brown escaped unharmed, and ran in the
direction of the,cabin. Three of the sav
ages followed the raft to save their breth
ren, and the other, a tall, athletic fellow,
gave chase to Brown. The firing at the
river had alarmed Sallie, who was in pos
session Of the hunters' rifles, and she there
fore held herself in readiness to repel any
attack that might be made on her, or give
any assistance she could.to the hunters.--
She soots saw Brown approaching, followed
by his ilavage ftr—but so swift was their
speed that sjhe did not venture to fire, pre
ferring to wait a better opportunity. An
Indian seldom stumbles ; but this one hap
pened to strike his foot against some im
pediment when within sixty yards of the
cabin, and close to the heels of Brown, and
almost fell. Before he had fully recovered
himself, the girl sent a ball through his
isldy, which arrested his progress. Brown's
trusty tifie always proved fatal when held
m the handl of Sallie Green.
BroWn and the girl, knowing that the
savages at the river would soon oome up in
search 'of their comrades, hastily Ittft the
spot, aimed, with the two rides, and carry
ing souse dried venison and a blanket, and
were fbllowed by the hunters' faithful dogs.
The diy waii now far spent--but the talon
rising in the evening gave sufficient light
to ensble them to proceed through the
woods! They traveled all night without
halting, A little after daylight they stop

very remarkable circumstance, on an im
portant point Of analogy is to be found in
the extreme rapidity with which the men
tal operations are p4rformed,or rather with
which the material ehait:ipai on whiCh
ideas depend are excited, in the hemiipher
ical ganglia. It would appear as if a whale
series of sots, that would really oectipy, a
long lapse of time, pass ideally through the
mind at one instant. We have in dreams
no true perception of the lapse of tinie-- , -a
strange property of mind ; for, if such
also its property when entered into . tt:
eternal disembodied state, time willappenr
to us eternity. The relations of space as
well as of tune are also annihilated ; so
that, while almost an eternity is compress
ed into a moment, infinite space is trav
ersed more swiftly than by real thought.—
There are numerous illustrations of. this
principle on record. A gentlemandreained

regiment, deserted, was apprehended,; car
ried back, tried, condemned to be shot, and
at last led out for execution. After all the
usual preparations, a gun was fired; he
awoke with the report, and found that a
noise in the adjoining room bad, at, the
same moment, produced the dream' and

Being of familiar turn of mind, he was

A gentleman met Mr. Bones on the As

the clashing, foaniing waters, as they fell
over the dam. He was evidently in a brown
study. Our friend ventured to disturb hi.,
cogitations.
" Mr. Bones, tell me how to make a
thousand dollars."
Mr. Bones continued looking intently at
the water. At last he ventured a reply.
" Do you see that dam my friend ?"
" Certainly I do."
" Well, here you may learn the secret of
making money. The water would waste
away, and be of no practical use to anybody
but for the dam. That dam turns it togood
account, makes it perform some useful pur
pose, and then suffers, it to pass along.—
fhat large paper mill is kept in constant
motion by this simple economy. Many
mouths are fed in the manufacture of pa

through which it passses money is made.
So it is in the living of hundreds of peo

the year's end they are no better off.=
What is the reason ? They want a dam.
Their expenditures are increasing and ito
practical good is attained. They want
them dammed up. so that nothing will

some useful purpose. Dam up your ex
