A fierce storm ragedin its wildest-fury. The' rain poured in torrents—tho night;vvas dark ! and gloomy—and the wind howled mourn* fully as it rushed on in its furiouscareer.— ] The distant west, was illuminated by the lightning’s liery blaze, and the hoarse mur ■ muring ol the thunder sounded like the ter i rifle voices of a thousand candon. The > prospect was sublioie, indeed. But,, in a moment, as if some-mighty magician of the Bast had, with one stroke of his potent ami - mysterious wand, thrown a spell over Na ture in one of her most-terrific .moods, the scene was changed—the storm, violent as it was, abated—the rain, ceased to pour— the wind no longer blew—fronfa wild tem pest, it was hushed to a gentle zephyr—all was calm, serene and quiet. • Even the sur face of'the Seine was unruffled. The black - and threatening clouds broke and dispersed, and unveiled the glittering expanse bfheaven —the stars one by one, made their appear ance in, the ethereal vault! and at. last, the peerless moon—and in unison they shed their soft, balmy, melting lustre upon the splendid capital of the French empire,, At this moment, when the heavens were clothed in unrivalled splendor, grandeur and beauty, a little.nan enveloped in a grey sur coat and cocked-hat, or rather a cap, which partook more of the costume of the soldier than-the citizen, and "which'concealed his dark visage, with a quick step was seen hurrying through a superb street.in Paris, palace of the,"puissant Napolifon/ Empefbf of Gaul., ,The pedestfiap buttoned his"coat close.aboUt him and accelerated Ilia already- hasty pace; and, as he was turning the angle of-41 square, a dark, fierce.vuffian-looking fellow, djtrted from the place of his concealment, in the shade of a loftyjedifice, and with a gleaming poniard in Ids hand, in.a surly tone demand ed a contribution. • The'pedestrian heeded him not—and walked on as if. nothing had occurred —and seemed unconscious.thut any : |refsSTfHy!re L Ty^ demand for gold in ab angry voice. “Begone, villain!” said the pedestrian,, coldly: still procceding.ondds way-as before. “He is the most provoking devil I ever saw,” said the man witlrthe dagger, to him self. He dashed forward, and in an instant stood before the grey-clad knight, who, to his astonish men I, passed on witiiout a word or even a look. The assassin, enraged that his intended victim treated him with such coolTndifiercnce, shouted in a hoarse, tremu lous voice, “Stop stranger! stop! not another step on your peril; another inch, and my weapon—” ,v The pedestrian laughed outright. “Ha! ha! you will, so?” said he, calmly drawing a sabre. ' The robber rushed madly upon the stran ger, and aimed a deadly thrust at his heart, which the knight parried, and with a blow, he dashed the murderous instrument from the,hand of the desperado, and laid him in the dust, prostrate at his feet. “Now yield, bravo! yield, or by heaven, this sword shall drink thy life-blood.” The stranger released the disarmed mis creant, who earnestly begged fur life. But no sooner was he on his feet, than he drew a.pistol; he snapped it—it missed fire—and' he attempted to escape by flight from the vengeance of his antagonist. But now, the stranger in his turn, invited the other to' stopi and, seizing him fiercely by the throat,' he compelled him.to submit. “Ah, wretch! thou shall die—thy blood shaill atone for this!” said the stranger, at the same time holding up his shining blade before the. bewildered eyes-of“the desperate', though humbled robber.' “Mercy, mercy!” criedhecon v uTsTvely, trying to free himself from the iron grasp of the pedestrian. Whose piercing eyes spark lcd~and flashed with wrath; “1 appeal to e very generous sympathy—l implore—l” continued he, trembling with fear. ‘.‘ Why do you resort to- this base method of acquiring wealth?” asked the stranger— “why,not seek some more honorhble means of obtaining a livelihood than by playing the robber and iiot enlist in' the imperial 'army, and fightnyour way to fame, and gloiy in the ranks ofTthe.brave?”- 'Listen to ray tale-, ’ said the desperate youth. . ‘This is. not my trade. I am a soldier; I have an aged father and mother, who depend solely upon, nie for their sup port; and the compensation which I receive is insufficient to supply the'Svants of us all. Of late, I have been trying my fortune at the gambling tables, and this evening. I.lost my last sous. But never until t|tis cursed night did I ever attempt to get gold in’this manner. , The thoughts of poverty, ambi tion., disappointment—the frowns of fortune —every thing passed heavily upon my mind, 1 my confused and nearly distracted brain. 1 grew furious. J was mad! arid in my phrenzy,; I vowed not-to sleep until I had -procured the gold, 'from some source, requisite to meet ray demands.' You see the resuit'of all ray visionary schemes. I have failed—and now ! know my (oljy—l see- where 4 have erred—l am now aware of the wickedness of my daring plans. Par don, stranger, pardon!’ . ■' ‘Ha! fine talk, this,Tor a midnight assas sin! Five minutes ago, and.you_dield t a. deadlyweapon in your hand, with the inten tion to-,lake niy life-r—but npw. Mon Dieu! you are as penitent as a saint!” •Well-do.with me as you will,’ said the" vanquished robber, calmly, ‘Drag: mo to ( prison—to the scaffold—to the guillotine— to death!, or kill me with-’your own hand—— any way yon please, monsieur.!.

Who wifi protect them? Who will provide for them? and who, when the axe and the-executioner have done their work on thee—who will console them and smooth their pillow in the hour of death 1 Answer me, vile mis creant!’ cried the stranger, impatiently. ‘ I’he Emperor will protect them,’ said he. ‘Bah! eh!’ muttered the other, and con tinued he, ‘what would be their anguish of soul if they could behold this- scene—see the degradation ol their lost and ruined son —once the hope and comfort of their wane of lile; but now Sunk low in crime? Would not the old man curse his ignoble boy?- And what, think you, will be the keen bitterness of the deep sorrow of their hearts, when they behold thee led out,to execution—to sutler an ignominious death to atone fur thy many dark, foul deeds?’ . ‘Spare! spare! sire—for heaven’s sake, gp'are me the torture of such agonizing thoughts. Wouldity God that-I had been slain-in battle, while fighting by the side of Bonaparte in Italy. Oh, cruel Fate that has doomed me to come to this; to feel the pangs of this moment, is more dreadful than death! Kill me—kill me, stranger, sheath your dagger in my heart! I’m in agony—l can not —will put live.!. *1 have but to alarm the guard, 9 said the pedestrian, ‘and'thou wilt be dragged to the lowest d ungeon.

Get back to the dark recesses of thy den, thou poltroon! pnd see tp it that you never cross my path, and in future, be ware how you attack a braver-man than your self’, said he with indignant scorn. The robber for a moment was irresolute. • 'No, stranger, never! I have faced the caKnonls-mosxhi—;l7Crosse(b;thc'brrdgc.o£ Lodi through a walHif liveaivd stccl—(hroiigh. smoke and flame!—l have braved death in a thmsand-fo: nn.and fleirfroirTitr Give me back my sword and let me put an 7 end-to my wretched existence!’ cried he franticly. .. ‘Bah, madman, under the false pretence of„|self-dcstruction, to. regain ,your arms, you would stilt murder me?’ 7 ‘I pledge my honor,’ returned the rob ber. , ‘Ha! ha! ha! honor—what, the honor of an assassin?’ inquired the stranger, with a bitter, ironical laugh. ‘Oh Heaven!’ cried he wildly, ‘I am ruined —my honor—my all! ‘Well be it as you wish,’ returned the "stranger, giving him the glittering Steel, which he raised to plunge it into his breast. ‘Hold!'.hold! cried the pedestrian, tak ing off his cap and throwing open his coa‘, which revealed the star and . cross of the Legion of Honor. The robber fell upon- his knees—his sword fell from his powerless arm. The stranger, whom he had attempted to rob and murder was none other than Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor of, the French—the great, the mighty Corsican. , - , From that time forward the youth never wanted for gold.. From that hour may be dated his rse. By that adventure he cose to eminence. He afterwards fought by the side of the Km.pcror in many bloody buttles. He continued to follow, thf star of Napo leon, and soon became one of the most suc cessful and distinguished of the French' Generals, and ultimately a Marshal of the Umpire. ■ : ' Concord, N.TI.7Dec. 25.
