never been able to say of any other medicine—never baa it
failed, in a single instance, to effect a cure, when timely

And let mo have the light
Of one bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere I’m alone with the night.

CHABGE OS’ MURAT AT EYLAU.
BY J. T. USABLY.
It is as Eylau that Murat always appears
in his most terrible aspect. This battle,
fought in mid-winder, in 1807, was the
most important and bloody one that had
then occurred.' France and Russia had
never before opposed such strength to each
other and a complete victory on either
side would have stalled the fate of Europe;
Bonaparte remained in possession of the
field, and that was all; no victory was ever
so like a defeat.
The field of Eylau was covered with
snow, and the little ponds that lay scatter
ed over it were sufficiently hard to bear
artillery. Seventy-one thousand men on
one side, and eighty five on the other, arose
from the frozen field on which they had
slept the night of February, without a tent
or covering, to battle for a continent. Ad
vancing through a snowstorm so thick he
could not.see the enemy, the Russian can
non mowed down his ranks with their des
structiyc fire, while the Cossack cavalry,
which were ordered to charge, came thun
dering on, almost hilling the french in
fantry with their long Ikhcos before they
were visible through the storm.
Hemmed in a#d overthrown, the whole
division, composed of 16,000 men, with
the exception of 1,500, were captured or
slain.
Just then the spew storm clearing up
revealed to Napoleon the peril to which he
was brought, and ho immediately ordered
a grand charge by the Imperial Guard and
the whole cavalry. Nothing was further
from Bonaparte’s wishes or expectation,
than the bringing of his reserve into the
engagement at this early stage of battle,
but there was no other resource loft him.
Murat sustained his high reputation on
this occasion, and proved himself, for the
hundredth time, worthy of the great con
fidence Napoleon placed in him. Nothing
[independent in everything.]
could be more imposing than the battle
field at this moment. Bonaparte and the
empire trembled in the badlanoe, while
Murat prepared to lead down bis cavalry
to save them. Seventy squadrons, mak
ing in all 13,000 well-monnted men, be
gan to move over the slope, with the Old
Guard marching sternly behind.
Bonaparte, it is said, was more agitated at
this crisis than, when, a moment before,
he was so hear being captured by the
Russians. But as he saw those squadrons
come down on a plunging trot, pressing
hard after the white plume of Murat, that
streamed through the snow storm far in'
front, a smile passed over his countenance.
The earth groaned and trembled as they
passed, and the sabres, above the dark and
angry miss below, looked like the foam of
a sea wave as it crests on the deep.. The
rattling of their muffled thunder of the
tread drowned all the roar of battles as
with firm, set array, and swift steady mo
tion, they bore down with terrible front
on the foe.
•U. C. BERN,
The shock of that immense host was
like a falling mountain, and the front line
of the Russian army went down like frost
before it. Then commenced a protracted
fight of hand to hand, and sword to sword
as in the cavalry action at Eckmuhl. The
clashing of steel was like the ringing of
countless hammers, and horses and riders
were blended in wild confusion together.
But the obstinate Russians disdained to
fly and again and again, so that it
was no longer cavalry charging on infantry
but squadrons of horses galloping through
broken hosts tha,t gathered into knots, still
disputed, with unparalleled bravery, the
red rent field.
It was during this strange fight that
Murat was seen to perform one of those
desperate deeds for which he was so rc
nowned. Excited to the highest pitch of
passion by the obstacles which opposed
him, he seemed endowed with ten fold
strength, and looked more like a super
human being treading down helpless mor
tals, than an ordinary man. Amid the roar
of artillery, and rattling of musketry, and
falling of sabre strokes like lightning about
him, that lofty white plume never once
went down, while ever and anon it was
seen glaring through the smoke of battle ;
the star of hope in Napoleon, and show
ing that his “right arm” was still uplifted
and striking for victory. He raged like
an unloosed lion amid the foe, and his eyes
always terrible ,in battle, burned with in
creased lustre, while his clear and steady
voice, heard above the turmoil of strife,
was worth more than a thousand trumpets
to cheer on his followers. At length, see
ing a knot of Russian soldiers that for a
long time had kept up a devouring fire on
his men, wheeled his horse and drove in
full gallop upon their leveled muskets.—
A few of his guards that never allowed
that white plntne to leave their sight,
charged after him. Without waiting to
count his foes, ho seized his bridle in his
teeth, and with his pistol in one hand and
his drawn sword in the other, burst !in
headlong fury upon them, and scattered
them as if a hurricane had swept by.—
Murat was a thunderbolt on that day, and
the deeds that were wrought by him will
furnish themes for the poet and the pain
ter.
A Fable fob the Young. —Two
springs, which issued from the same
mountain, began their course together;
one of them took the way in a silent and
gentle stream, while the other rushed along
with a noisy and rapid current. “ Sister/
said the latter, ‘ at the rate yon move, you
will probabably be dried up before advance
much farther, whereas, for myself I shall
probably bo navigable within two or three
hundred furlongs, and after distributing
commerce and wealth wherever I flow, I
shall majestically proceed to pay my tri
bute to the ocean. ‘ So farewell, and pa
tiently submit yourself to your fate 1’ Her
quiet sister made no reply, but calmly de
scended to the meadow below, and patient
ly proceeding on her way, she increased
her strength by numberless little rills,
which she collected in her progress, till
at length she was enabled to rise into a
considerable river ; while the proud stream
who had the vanity to depend wholly on
her own sufficiency, continued a shallow
brook, and was glad, at last, to be helped
forward by throwing herself into the arms
of her despised sister.
Education. —It is the duty of the in
structors of youth to be patient with the
dull, and steady with the froward, to en
courage the timid and repress the inso-'
lent, fully to employ the minds of their
pupils, without overburdening them, to
awaken their fear, wihout. exciting their
dislike, to communicate the stores of
knowledge, according to the capacity of
the learner, and to enforce obedience
by the strictness of discipline. Above
all, it is their bounden duty, to be ever on
the watch, and to cheek the very • begin
nings- of vice. For, valuable as know
ledge may be virtue is infinitely more
valuable; and worse than useless, are these
mental accomplishments which arc ac
companied by depravity of heart.

How Lieut. Qreble’s Relatives Heard
the Hews-
While the telegraph was bearing the
news of the death of Lieut Greble, the fa
ther of that lamented officer was on Us
way to Fortress Moutoo to visit him, car
rying him packages put from his wife and
mother. At Fortress Monroe Mr. Greble
was approached by jthe oldest soldiers,
both regulars and volunteers, with tears
in their eyes. These veterans boro testi
mony to the virtnes and heroism of the
Lieutenant, and detailed the circumstances
of bis death as already noted. ■ Mr. Grc
ble is satisfied from the accounts received
at the Fortress that tfie death of his son
was consequent upon gross cowardice and
mismanagement on thp part of the leading
officers of the expedition. In fact, he has
expressed the belief that the loss of his
boy was a deliberate murder for which
certain officers at Fortress Monroe should
bo held to u stern account. At the same
time he refers with jpy, which bereave
ment cannot cloud, to the fact that bis son
was the last to desert the field.
We are told that Mrs. Greble likewise
shares, in a high degree, the patriotism of
her son, and some days before his death,
on being interrogated; as to whether she
did not regret his exposed position in the
army, she replied: “ No! my only lament
is that my next son is; not old enough to
fight, beside John.” A sister of Lieut.
Greble recently married Major Leach, of
Colonel Patterson’s First Pennsylvania
Regiment. She was temporarily residing
ia the country at the time of her brother’s
death, and strenuous efforts were made to
keep the matter secret from her until she
had arrived in Philadelphia.
A newsboy passed throngh the oars on
her return, however, and announced the
“Great Batjtlo of Norfolk.” Mrs. Leach
purchased a paper, and her eyes were up
on tho fatal paragraph; when a friend
plucked it from her hand. Bursting
into tears she said, “Oh, give me that pa
per. I know that something has happen
ed to John.” “He is wounded,” said the
friend, striving to break the information
gradually. When arrived!at home, a tel
egraphic despatch annoobced the death,
Mrs. Leach refused to beKfeve the tidings,
until they were made too true by the re
ceipt of official intelligence.
The gloom that overspread the house
hold and Philadelphia was without prece
dent, for the Lieutenant had endeared
himself to thousands of citizens, and his
death strnck- all with grief. The alumni
of the High School, (an institution of the
New Tdrk. Free Academy,) more than
four thousand ia number, felt peculiarly
the loss of the The flag upon
the School has been at half-mast for three
days, and a deputation of pupils was se
lected to accompany the funeral escort.

“We think it probable that many of our

our readers could eit here in our sanctum,
and open the Nor them papers, and read as
we do, they would not doubt for a moment
the terrible reality. Every State, city,

with the beat of drums and tramp of arm

us, and the pulpit is praying for the com

A RICH SCENE.
BY “CHARLIE.”
An amusing seen© came oiff in a.smal!
toira situated in the north-eastern part of
this (Dutchess) county, a few days ago:
It appears that a young man engaged in
peddling "Yankee Notions," happening to
stop for the night at atavern with his
wares, thought he would have some sport
with the rustics, before his departure ; and
accordingly adopted the plan of'repreaent
ing himself in the employ of “Uncle Sam."
Before retiring for the night, he had the
landlord of the hotel “well posted” as to
his plans for fcho morrow, giving him in
strostions to Inform the “boys” that there
was a drafting officer now-staying there.
In the morning he sallied forth into the
bar-room; and the first one he “picked
out” of the crowd, was a man pretty well
advanced towards forty-five years of age,
and apparently a coward at heart.
The; officer advanced toward him, placed
his hand upon his shoulder, and .pt the
same time asking his name:
“Oh! I cannot go !” exclaimed the man
‘I cannot go; I’m not a sound man. I
have had my forefinger bruised, throe of
my ribs have been broken, and have lost
the use of my right eye. I cannot go! I
tell you I am not a sound man*”
The officer thinking that the map had
“sufficient” reasons why he could not go,
left him and proceeded on to another man
somewhat younger than the first man ac
costed.
"Como up here, my man?” said the
public functionary, “What iayour name?”
“Oh! I shall die before I get there!”
oricd out the second, somewhat encour
aged by the success of the first, in getting
free from being enrolled, “I never can go.
I am so unwell
“Very ’well, my good fellow, carelessly
replied “Uncle Sam,” “I will never release
you on any such pretence, unless you will
get the written certificiite of some practic
ing physician, well known in this vicini
ty.”
Accordingly, off starts the "green 'un”
for the nearest doctor. Arriving at the ■
house, almost exhausted witlr fatigue, ho
rashes Doctor’s office, and cries out
in a stammering manner; -
“Doc—Doctor! I want you to give me \
a certificate to tell the man what pulls
men off to join the army, that Unroot a
well man.”
“Well,” replied the doctor, “I don't
know as 1 can do that for you. I cannot
say you are not a well man. I-would per
jure myself if 1 did.
Oh! Now dear doctor, you know it
would be the last time I would sco “Sal,’’
if they take me off. Can’t you jest set it
down for me.”
While the second character was gone
for the doctor’s certificate, the drafting
officer had “struck on” about twenty
others congregated in the room, each ono
haying, in his own estimation, some plan#-
ible excuse for not wanting to go. '
It soon became rumored around the vil
lage what was going off at the hotel, and
both old and young, male and female, rush
ed to the scene, the men begging to be
<c let off just for once,” and the women
crying and going into ike
anticipated loss of husbands and lovers.
The “officer” after havingenroDed a suf
ficient number of men to satisfy bis fun
loving characteristics, gave orders to them
to appear on the ground the next morning
to bo in readiness to go to Albany the
day following, to be armed and equipped.
Many were the tears shed that night, 1
and many were the wills that were made.
Lovers and husbands parted, as they tho’t
they could never let their Eaoariabs go to
be shot at by the tarnal rebels.
The morning came, and the crowd be
gan to gather around the hotel. Every
thing was ready to starts when—l6l the
pedlar had decamped for parts unknown
The’cry of “sold!” “sold!" went up
from every month, and the men returned
to their work, declaring that they would
treat him to a coat of tor and feathersj' if
he should ever happen to travel that way
again.
