An Eplscodc in tUo fife of Murat* ivirilo Italy was in possession of the French, a fnuliny broke oni hi one of ihe .iegnncijls alulioned at Livournc.. Nupolenh, when ho henrd_oTil, deter, hilncd to mnkji on crumple of tho oftencicrs; and fcommissioned Mural ib punish tho ringleaders.. , Mural soon arrived ol Livournc, and ordcicd the Seditious regiment to parade inlhcphicr; he (hen fold ihe soldiers that ho had been commanded by tho Em peror fur <6 furnish Client Tor (heir infsconilocl,amt.be would shodl every tenth mun in tho regiment. The force of his gestures and language, coupled with the authority ofh.is name, caused Ihe men to submit al 6nco. They became greatly alarmed, threw them.* selves on their knees, before him, and proved for (ncrcyj hut ho w.os inflexible. He ordered the reg iment lo bo confined in the qitndcl until (he day sp. pointed for the execution. While there, tho soldiers sent deputations continually lo Murat, beseeching film to ibtercccd (of them with the JSmpcrof. They seemed so penitent, llmt nt las{ Murat sent them word that If they wbiftu select three men lo bo shot lie would pardon tho rest. The victims* were soon designated 1 and their execution was appointed for (ho next morning; ■ u .llie meantime, tho rest of the men remained close prisoners. In (he middleoNho fight, tho three soldiers wl>u werp. lo dtp, iho ncxr morning, wtfre soti( for by Murat. When thojf camel he said lo them— “ You Will ho shoi to morrow. I hope you will t endeavor, by dying hfafely tb remtive the slain from ‘ you/ names. I wilt promise lo' convoy your last wishes to your parents. . Have you thought ofyotir nmthers? Tell me I” (Sobs clinkedl their ultrappoO, “ They would hove been proud of you if you had died on the battlefield | but hem —oh f unlmppy nion ! go ! I will send you n priest lo offer you the conso lations pf religion, Think nfCod and Franco—you iVo ji’o longer of this world I” The spidiors threw themselves at his foot, not to ask for their lives', but for Ills’ pardon before they died. . . Ar they were going mil ho called (hem hack; “Listen,” said ho; “ if I give you yobr lives, will you ha honest men?” “ No, wo want to die,” answered one of (he sol diers ;“ wo deserve death—let us be shot.” " But if I do not wish you to die, you will still say so 7 1 have never shed blood but on the field of battle. I have never ordered my own soldiers to ho shot at, and I do not wish to have you killed, for you are Frenchmen, and my brothers, although cri. roinnh” The soldiers could not restrain their (ears. “ to jno," continued Murat; you have com- AViUed a great crime, but as yon seem so penitent, I wi|l spafo your lives. You must, however, bo eon* Bidcrcd dead, especially by ynnr own rcglrrient. To morrow, before day, you will bo conductcd to one of the gates o'flhb town—there you will be shot at by a fife of men} you must full as if deed; your regiment will then pass by. As soon as Ole Inst file has turn* cd into lliu cross street, n man wham t have bribed will place you In a earl and carry you to.the coun try; there yuu will find some sailors' clothes and 1000 francs for each of yon. You roust secrete yourselves somewhere for three days; in that time an American vessel will bo ready to sail for New Orleans; you must go in her. I hope you will bo come honest men. Go! I will (ako care of your families." The soldiers bathed his feel with their (oars, and declared he should bo satisfied with them. Everything happened as Murat had foretold. A severe example was given to the regiment, and No* pbloon thanked Mnrul for having sacrificed.,only three men. The Emperor was happily deceived,and hover become cognizant of therusu played off upon him. Mural's plan was known only to a few of his friends, and was not revealed till after his death. In the full pf '3l, o young man, who was. hunting near Now Orleans, was overtaken by a thunder storm. He took rofugo in a thick part of tho forest, and soon perceived a small cottage In a liulpoloarlng, at a short distance. Ho approached it, and knocked at the door. It wosopoued by an old woman, who invited him to enter, and led him into a small but fiout hall, tho walls of which wore decorated with portraits of Napoleon, (surrounded by laurel branch, os,) and numerous engravings of his principle bat* ties. . J.t seems," says the yoUng hunter, “ thal piy good star has conducted mo to the house of a com* patriot.” ' Yes, sir,” replied the old lady, “wo ate French jieople! itly son Is in tjic,golden—-I will bull him” 1 she. continued! ” Your son is French also?” .

Wo live respected and huhpy.” The master of the house now entered! __ •” This gentleman,” said his ninllier; “ has doho tie the honor lb stop for a little while under our. roof until the ruih Is over f he is one of us, a French* man.” . 9 So 75 1 00 The farmer-made - him-iim military. salUlallonJ and welcomed him. .. Ho seemed singulary struck; with his figure, and was.so much moved*ho could nol speak! UoWbVcrj at length, ho stammered out— “Sir, you will,.perhaps, consider mv Question IrH pertinent; bill I afli obliged to as!i your name) your figure; “My friend,’ 1 interrupted .iho young huntsmen, “Uiat is the only qucstloH whleli I cannot answer.

Claude, as soon as ho could speak showed the Prince a portrait of Iho King of Naples, and cried— '* Dehold this, my benefactor and the gnurdian saint of this farm—your glorious father; 1 owe all to him—he saved my life.” “On the field of battle 7” osked Prineo Achillc. “ No,” replied Gluudo Gerard ; “ I was condemned o death. Two comrades us guilty as myself were to bo shot willrmc. Wo were led out Id the gate of Livournc; wo were shot at—wo fell. It was your father who arranged all this; wtthhis money I came to America. My two comrades died two years ago in New York. 1 have worked, and have now a competence. My mother, who believed her son dead, received a letter from him calling her to America. The poor .woman nearly died with joy at recovering me. Now if the son of my royal, benefactor wishes for my life, my goods or my farm, they are all at his service.” Monroe Edwards.— L.

The codcc les#loil, the course fare, solemn silence,,ll»o averted look, the yellow while pallor of I ho convict, his nar. row Led, with scanty furniture, his hard couch; these indeed are visible tg the nuked eye. Yet do but think of the demon thought that must cut up the heart during the long and inconceivably dismal hours which he pusses there in darkness, in silence, nnd alone. ' Think of ilia torture ho must endure from the rav* : ayes of that pleasantest fi lend, but most terrible cn. * cmy, imagination!

Domestic Lise.— -Pleasure Is lowon’inn what the sunshine is to tho flower;’if moderately enjoyed, it beautifies, it refreshens, and improves—if immodor utcly it withers, deteriorates and destroys. But the duties of domestic life, exorcised as they must be in retirement, and culling forth all (ho sonsibililins of tho fomule, are perhaps as necessary to the full do voionemcnl of her charms us tho 'shades and tho shadow are In the rose ; confirming ita beauty and increasing its fragrance. CO* How beautiful are tho smiles of Innocence— how endearing tho sympathies.of love—-how sweet tho solace of friendship—how lovely (ho tears of. nf> fcction! Those, combined, ore nil oharnntbristio of woman. They are the true poetry nf humanity rich pearls clustering around tho alter of domestic felicity. Kj* A bright and beautiful bird is hope ; It comes to us mid the darkness; and sings the sweetest song when our spirits arc saddest; and when the tuna soul Is weary, and longs to pass away, it warbles its sun nicst notes, and tightens again tho slender fibers of our hearts that grief has been (eating away. Cj* To-morrow those that are now gay may bo sad; those now walking tho avenue of pleasure may bo the subjects of sorrow; those on the mountain summit may be in the valley ; (ha rosy cheek may have the lily's hue ; tho strong may faultor ; death may have came. £j*llow barren a trou Is ho that lives; and spreads and cumbers tbo ground, yet loaves no one seed, not one good work, to genc.ruto after him ! 1 know all cannot live alike, yet all may leave something an swering their proportion, their kind. .(Ej'Thls whole life Is but ono great school.

This revolting practice has been abolished in eve* ry Island of the Pacific Occnn,whero the Gospel had taken sufficient root to exert a genera! influence.— It still prevails in sortie of those groups from which the darkness uT heathenism has not yet been chased away. In New Caledonia, where the practise con* linues to a limited extent, it is accompanied by circumstances which greatly aggravate its intrinsic horrors. .The extreme barbarity of the natives has hitherto prevented any European Missionary from settling among them. But a devoted Rarolongan convert, named Tuunga, has had such moral heroism and spir* ilual compassion as made him willing ib labor to bless a pour people so sunk in darkness and cruelty, lie has visited many districts in the Island,* and wherever ho went he was well received, and invited to remain ; and when ho left, they entreated him to send some one to instruct them in this new word.— Taunga travelled to a distant port oi'thc Island, and arrived among a people whose.language he could not Understand. And hero he witnessed a moat horrible transaction, such us ho never saw equalled in any oilier’part'of New Caledonia, although many other scenes of deep horror passed under his obscfva. lion. The paragraph is given 4>y the Ucv. Charles Pitman, of the London Missionary Society, |n these words: *‘ln thc,dtstrrol ofE«gcnp_a_fcasl I lie people oft lie Chief, whokii nutn'cTs-IViw, him food.

The p'uinliif claimed that the term for which hp was bound to sarye na a marine had then' expired ; that (he defendant had no right or justrfion tion to detain him longer on board; and.that his * refusal to do duty longer being the only reason, and an 1 insufficient one, for punishing Inin at all,’ under such i circmiistaftces bo was entitled to recover damages | ol the defendant for subjecting him to receive twelve lashes* and a repetition of it on a subsequent day, ' after another request and a, refusal -by him lo 1 obey ; and “lap In the mb inllmc fur putting him In Irons and'CoqlVnlrig him in a n-alivo prison. In the Circuit Court a verdict of damages was femTefed for the plaintiff, but on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United Stales,' the Judgement below was re versed, and a cenfre de novo awarded, and the new trjal lo be governed by the principles decided by the highest judicial tribunal. The case recently was for malaco towards Dinsman. Drudlyand May. the opposing counsel, fought one another fur two long weeks, seven hums a day; and this., morning (ho jury rendered a verdict of damages for Dinsman, (ho marine, and assessed them at five hundred and fiftv dollars.
