A BATTLE IS A SNOW ST&RII.
NAPOLEON, AND Ills SOLDIER..
The American reader almost devours ever; thing
in relation to Napoleon. Though memoirs and His.
tones have multiplied, yet there seems to bo nu ccs.
nation of public curiosity. Tha publication of one
hook increases the demand for another. We have
recently been reading portions of-tho. memoir of
Cuuluinourt, Duko of Vicenza, Napoleon's Secretary
of Slate, and who accompanied him in all his cum
paigns, and therefore portrays the inner iifo of No
polcon.
Tho bdUlo of Eylatt has been described by Allison,
in his most masterly style, but the following dcscrip.

down the field of buttle, braving the gfrfpe shot
which was m. every direction. Ho was
olwayai to be seen on those points ihrc/\{pning the
greatest danger, well knowing that his presence alone
Wall'd Work miracles. Moanw.hilo, the ceasing of
the fire on some point indicated that the enemy was
falling hock. At eight o'clock, Napoleon was in
formed that the important position of the church,
whibli had been obstinately diypulcfUnkcn -and re
lakori ftovcrul (linos Ih the . course of the day, had
again been curried by the enemy. Our troops, whoso
numbers were infinitely inferior to those of the ftp's,
slant, rciired fighting to the churchyard. At (ho
moment when the orderly arrived with this intelli
gence, tlio Empororhud dismounted and wm person,
oily directing a forrftidtfbla ballofy pointed to the
left wjng. of,the Russian army. Ho instantly

This address was answered, “ Vivo *1 Etnpereur !
Forward I wo must have the church I" ond all rdth

A from us wo espied an old grenadier t
his face was blackened by gunpowder, and the blood
was streaming down his clothes. Ills left arm hud
been carried away by a bombshell. ; The man was
hurrying to fall into the ranks.
“Stay, atuy, my good fellow," said tho Emperor,
" go and get your wound dressed—go to the ambit*
lanct ."
“ I will," replied the grenadier, “ when wo
have-taken the church," and we immediately lost
sight of him. I pcrccivcd the tears glittering in
the Empcror*i eyes, and ho turned aside to conceal
them.
At ten o’clock that night, the church was ours,—
The Emperor, who was thoroughly exhausted, loi

rode past the front rank of each regiment. At day

Enthusiastic shouts rent .the air, and the same men
advanced to meet the enemy,*• firo with a degree of

The enemy 1 * forces, routed and dispersed, retreated
in Iho utmost disorder, abandoning their wounded,
Ihoir baggage, and their parks,of artillery. _
But the day’s work was not yet ended for Iho Em

“ Let this poor fellow be immediately conveyed to

the Emperor uUcl* those words. “ 1 only wish,” said
lie, “ that 1 had a thousand lives to lay down for

Near a batlcry which had been abandoned by the
enemy, wo beheld n singular picture, and one of
which a description can convoy but a faint-idea. About
one hundred and fifiy or two hundred. French gren
adiers; were surrounded by a quadruple rank of Rus
sians. Both parties were weltering In a river of
blood, amidst fragments ofcnnuon, muskets, swords,
&c. They had evidently fought with the moat de
termined fury, for every corpse exhibited numerous
and horrible wounds. A feeble cry of Vivo Em
peror I ’was heard to cmlnale from this mountain of
1 thcdcad, and all eyes wore instantly turned to the
spot whence the voice proceeded. Half concealed

he'pays cqbh for stock, and pays cash for labor.
He has been employed for a week on that jobj
with tw ( o or three journeymen, besides furnishing
raw material, paying shop rent and other expen
sive contingencies. Why .should he be asked to
wail six months or a year for his money ! He
must pay his hands on Saturday, provide for his
family during the weak, pay for Ids 'slock, and
lay up something against rent day.' Is it icsona
bio—is it Juqt, that his ready employer should ask
him to wait for his pay until his convenient time
when cash Is not scarce—when three per cent, a
month'is not to be had on the loan of-money that
bolongS ; to others, or which ought to bo appropria

that a man« supposed wealth should do’this,

digested almost aa rapidly.' Apples, sweet and
ripe, are next in order. Venison is digested al
most as soon’as apples. Roasted potatoes are
digested in half the time required by the', same
vegetables boiled, which occupy three hours and
a half— more than beef'or mutton. Bread occu
pies three hours and a quarter. Stewed oysters
and boiled opgs are digested in three hours and a
