WotrMnsUtefrorrt the Lelpsio Grenthotln, tho following thrilling knd characteristic sketch of « milt, (ary life. Never before have wo seen tho utter hatred n Pole bean the Emperor so. powerfully illustrated Although (he war with Denmark was a'purely German affair; and hence allowed no foreign officer In the army, aa a general rule, still a few Poles and' Hungarians’ were received aa volunteers. There was an old Pole, Whom I knew aa a non-commissioned Infantry officer'in the spring of 1850. Hownao am gular phenomenon, to bo sore, exciting a lively in. West aa soonlksT taw him. His appearance was hot a littlo remarkable. His long, silvery grey board and moustaches bung down from lii6 thin, sharp, featured face. fVorri which flashed a pair of fiery blue feye*i The akin of his face, se bright and brown as J leather, was dried up and wrinkled, showing that ho had get his looks from exposure to the burning sun, I and many a bivouac in storm and rain. A frightful [ ■eat extended from his forehead, with a dirk fed stride over hit nose to the corner of his mouth, divi ding hit face into-two oblique parts. Hid forehead was high and broad. Only a few iron grey looks straggled nut from beneath his helmet.- Ilia figure seemed made of muscles and sinews vigorous and elastic. Ho limped a littlo with tho loft fool in con. sequence of a wound, and tho’middle finger Was also wanting on the loft hand. But his bearing Was aI. ways erect and truly military, and however hot | might be tho July sun. he carried a foil knapsack on 1 a twelve hodrsV march, walking off with', this heavy load M if he had been born with U on his back.— Ilia dre'i. In spite of dusly’marohes and rainy biy. euncs, was always clean and tidy, and his arms'aa bright : it lf they had just come out of the shop. . The picture of an old veteran of Napoleon's (m. penal Guard was completed by the cross of (ho Le gion of Honor, and a Spanish order. As a soldier, ho possessed a rare fidelity to duly,‘a thorough know, ledge of the service, and thd most quiet courage.— You eonld not but see that ho had fought on many a bloody field. During the warm work at Ids(ed(,.ho highly distinguished himself. He was as quiet in the midst of an enemy’s fire as if he was not in (ho least disturbed by the whistling of D-tnish bullets, or tho growl of tho cannon balls, Tho men of his com* mand asserted that (hey once heard him say, ho would never shoot a Danish soldier, unless obliged to; but would only pick out (he officers. It is said among them, that (ho General of tho hostile army, Scholoppegrcll, was killed by his shot, and many Cyo witnesses testify (hat on the retreat at Idslcdt (wo other Danish officers wore shot by him. His general deportment was marked by an astrin gent silence. Although ho spoko tho Gorman lan. guago tolerably well, but with a foreign accent, ho would never pronounce a word, unless necessary; nor had any. over seen the slightest smile on his face at the jokes round the bivouac fire. Forhnnrs long he wouldqll brooding over the blare of the watch fire, •o that If It had not been for the flash of ilia eye, which looked out upon the night, he might have been taken Tor a dead block or stone. Nor (lid he talk any more freely with his Polish comrades, when he happened le fall in with them. Ho drank no brandy, ale but little meat, and lived for most part on beans, Strong coffee, which he prepared himself, and broad. The soldiers, and oven (he officers, had a kind of dread of (lie gloomy corporal, and although they cs> teemed Ms admirable qualitiet • »oldt«r, vh«jr ribr*eoii6ii*t(rtitm very freely. For myselCl was strongly drawn towards (ho dark man, whose Iron strength ofcharacter was expreksed in ids whole np. pearaiicn, and I had often tried, without much sue. cess, (o have talked with him. One day, the company in which he was a corporal, had a pretty smart skirmish on the out.posls with tho Danes, in which they at lasi begun to fire some light field pieces. As tho enemy was retiring, a random ■hot was fired from a distance, and the ball took off both the corporal's legs below the knee. Ho fell bleeding to (ho ground with this terrible wound, and was taken .off by his comrades senseless. The next morning, a soldier came to me with (he request that I would go to the wounded riian. who Was lying In a neighboring form hoiise, as he.wished tospeik with me. On (he way, the surgeon of the battalion told mo that tho corporal would die within two hours.* Although it*was barely possible at first that he might be saved by amputating both leg*, he decidedly refused his consent, declaring that if the amputation wfcte performed, ho would tear off the bandages. The proposal was accordingly given np. and mortification had already , set in, whlchwould house his death In a few hours, without pain. The wounded man lay coveted with a blanket, on (ho good straw bed in the clean foam of a ’form house. Speedy death stood wrltlon 'on his pale fea tures, yet* ho seemed to be free from pain. With a pretty firth toico ho (hanked mb. In his foreign (»er. man, for complying with hi* wishes and coming to see him. (to then’said, “ I have one mordTnyor to ssk; befdtb 1 am buried lo.morrow, will you lay iun. Her my head llils.liltlo bag of. earth from (ho grave of my mother and sweetheart?'* showing me, at the same time, a little bag ofßusslan leather which hung by a leather throng to his breast. As I promised In do this, q tear fell down his cheeks, and he pressed my bonds; ho then.took a littlo purse, in which there were eight louisd’ors and several dollars'ln silver, banding U to me, ho sold, ** This is all my property, Will you see that it is fold out In tho hospital for l|ip belli Pule who shall become a patient. My orders, all of which I won in the battle field, shall'gd with trio Id thb grave, and I give my watch to tho next itildior of our battalion who shall, distinguish him* lolf." I promised him to attend foilhfglly to hia wishes, and inquired, if he had buy relations to whom 1 shouldannounco his death? “Not qpo in the world," ho replied with some bitterness. I then asked him to give me a short account of hia life, when ho began In Ills broken'Germsn : ’ “ I was born not Tar from Warsaw, in a Itltlo vll ligo on'(ho Vistula. 1 My father was an old ofßcor *ho had served under Kosclu'oko. Domhrawskl and Pamatowaky, and who has received a cross from the Emperor himself. ; We?now lived on a small farm, tod my father leased a ferry across the Vistula, A cousin of mine lived tylth my mother. She was a most lovely girl, with whom J played u a child. I ilwiys oalledUtilo'Maria, who was a ycir yoiinper than myself, lily sweetheart, and wo agreed to'ta Buried when, wo were grown up. .The old folks Uughed and shook (heir heads. As fate would have it, (he Grand puke.Cohstantjho once passed through out village, as I .was standing before ’thd door. I tnuit havo impressed 'hint, as I was a stout, Active ho/ of about 17,’ and I. saw him 1 whisper something to an adjutant, which the wrote down In his Pocket book.

I was then thrown into a dark collaf, hair dead with hunger and thirst, and there kept till 1 was domplelbly humbled, and ng’recd to become a drummer. My father, complained and oven'throat* »ncd, to Appeal to the Grand Duke. Vfhal good djd it a|| do. lie was $1 last (old that if ho did, not Md his tongue, ho would |jo lopped up. I thus { •erred two'years as a dhimmorin the fourth regi* {Mt, pntil September, .1830, when wo drove the Russians out of Warsaw. “Iluxxal that was a great **•/»" (and (ho face of tho dying msn horq lighted up *1 the reoolloctioii) f “ 1 (here beat to the charge, °util the ibji 'oF my drum broke in. I then took aj /nuaket and tired on the Russian officer* ae long :aijj J* 0 /of them were in-sighl. Two days-aftor I wonti home on leave of absence, rejoicing: in : (ho prospect i J' sgtln seeing ray father, my good mplhpt and my j “■fling Maria. But when I turned the corner of the behind which lay, ,lho red roof of out* house, l!j Aid not see it, bat only a heap of embers from wJilch { (ho smoko still roso'.'l'fushod madly tn the spot, “wHero I'saw my father almost hewn In piece's by sabre , strokes,’hanging from a tree, likewise my mpjher and,niy. Maria. - I fell senseless to the grqana. The pitying neighbors look mo op, and carried me Into one of lljdir houses. 1 lay there for many days In s rowing fever.' When I came to-myself, they told mo that the Cossacks hsd slain my father and mother, ant} after doing violence to Maria, had killed her and burned, the, house., When 1 hoard this, I Wept till I could weep no more, and from (hat day ! have nUI wept or hughed. From llio grave of my parents and beloved, I took this bigofearth, to boar it alwoye on my breast, I awore by their bones that so long as God lent life and strength to my arm, to fight against the soldiers of the Czar, and to give no quarters to officer or Cossack. . I have fnillifbUy kept the oath this day,” continued the old Pole, with an expression of deep satisfaction; ‘' ” As soon as 1 recovered,! went hack to my fourth regiment, and many a Russian officer and many a Cossack have I. shot down. It was my only delight to know they fell by my hand. At ooa limo I fell I in with the adjutant of the Grand Duke Constantino, | who was with him when I was first seen by the lat ter. Ho was under guard and bound, He begged mo to save hlslifo, saying he had a wife and children at home, and'would give mo a thousand ducats if 1 would release him. 1 first lot him beg and whine, and then thrbst'my bayonet through his heart'. I was cheered up when his hot blood spouted Into my face. In this war I had a finger shot off, and got a alight wound in my side from a Unco. When it was all ovnr*witli Poland, I went to France with several ol my comrades. We hopod that the French would go to war with.(lie Cur, and help us to recover Po. : land. There was a plenty of fine words, but nothing came of it, and at length I joined tho foreign legion In Algiers. Hero we wore kept pretty busy. A Oodoam wave me this wound in tho face, and I after wards had a chance of rescuing a French colonel from the enemy, for which I received (ho cross of tho Lcgioq of Honor. The one which was given by the Emperor to my father, was certainly of a greater value. Wo wore at length sent by King Louis Phil, lippe to Spain, in order to aid Queen Maria Chris lianna against Dun Carlos. After 1 heard that the Cxar was a friend of Don Carlos,'and had aided him with money, I shot down his soldiers with far more satisfaction.— When the legion, which was almost used up, final ly relumed to France, it was ray sixth year of ser vice, and although I might have beoom? an officer* I was unwilling to remain in it any longer. I was too anxious once more to fight with the Russians. 1 had at last reached the Caucasus at Tsohelschen aeri, by the way of Constantinople, after all sorts of hardships and perils. I was thrown into prison and treated as e slave, and not allowed to fight against the Muscovite. But they eaw at length that I was to be (rusted, and that I hated (he ene my worse than they did. They accordingly pro vided me with arms and permitted me to go into the service. My highest joy, elnce ] left Poland, was to see once more the columns of the Cxar, and to he.able lo pick off his officers. For five years I thus fought in the Caucasus; and many a Rus sian officer and Cossack got one of my bullets in their bodies. “At length I was shot in the foot and disabled from marching, and was taken prisoner. The Russians wished first to heal my wound; I was then to iako a hundred blows* and to be banished for life to the mines of Siberia, because I had fought B 8 a Pol»-*oalnal tha ,C*ar. - Whan I l>»«t--got pretty well again ! was confined in a lower wmoh jay on the Black Sea. I wished to see if I coulif not procure a boat, ,cS 1 swam well, from a boy when I bathpd in tha Vistula. At all events, I preferred drowning to being knouted by the Rus* sians. Fortune favored roe, and I found on the strand an unloaded fishing boat with a drunken Coosack asleep in it, I easily bound him hand and fool and threw him overboard, and sailed out Into the sea. For three days I wandered about, eating nothing In the whole time but an old dead fish which was in the bottom of the boat. I was al most starved, when 1 was taken up by a Turkish smuggler, which brought female slaves to Conslan linople. The Turks treated me as a slave;,and sold me in Smyrna to a rich man, who ppt ipe'as a servant in his ambles. ' After some months I ran away from him,allowed myself to he madea Mus sulman, was received among thosoldiers, and thus became free fmm slavery. I did not give up. the hope that the Sultan would,again go to war with the.Czar* end that I should bS able to do>some good. I had been several years in the Turkish service, when one day a Polish officer, who- was also in the service, told me to gel ready as there would, be more work‘in’Poland. I was greatly rejoiced to hear tills, and travelled with great dan ger and difficulty, through Bukowlna \a Gajlaoia. Here I met with a rich nobleman* wlioseiumtsin’en and servants I helped to drill, every day ptaying to God (hat | might yet live to see Poland great and free. .Finally In the Spring of 1840'we came to blows with . Austria, bat without much effect, and after a few battles; the.lmperial troops pon quered. 1 was taken prisoner, and made to ton tho,gauntlet fivo ; tinfes both ways- thtqugh flVs hundred man, until my bloody.flesh filingin stripes from my back.. I then-put in a regiment sta tioned in Italy. ~Thqnoame March and Italy broke put* Iwent over at once to the Sar dinians, was made a Sergeant, and fired In any bbl lets upon the Austrian officers. ; l had hoard that the Emperor was a good friend of the Otar, and must do everything which he commanded* When peace was made in Sardinia, the pejrt winter, ! went .with many, other Poles who were discontent ed among the Italians by ship to Zara* arid thence secretly to Hungary. There was soon a fine war, In which,pty heart could rejoice. Then the o»ar sent his troops to aid bia frlemfsi and now things went on welt. The first day in'which 1 shot a Russian major, was the happiest ihad known for many years, although ( had got’a sabre wound on the hand. But there was still 100 many of the enemy. I was at last In Oomorn, under Klnpka, and that was my luok. Ho made a capitulation, and ! reqn|ved a passport to go to America. I did not wlah to,go to that country, for, there was no wpr with the Ozar and I 'should have been false |o my oath. I wanted to sail fur England and'see If I could hot'suebeed In' gelling a passage to the OauoasuS, where thbro was still a war. But I heard In Hamburgh, that the Czsr was on the side of the Danes, and wps going to aid them with his ships of war,. The ppuso wns of no consequence to mo. I did not oare whether (he Danes or SclilcsWlg-HolslrtinerS bad the upper hand.l But as soon ee I hoard.of the frioqde|ilp of tha Czar for tho Danen, lat once tqojt a.t AUona.

I was obliged In Smyrna to assume the Turkish faith outwardly, but ! at heart I have always been a good Christian.” With these words ths old soldier again pressed my hand, and turned his faop to the wall 9s If- to yield himself to his recollection in silence.

'The Greatest Innovator!* The greatest Innovator that ever appeared Inoty* world was Jesus Christ himself. He aimed ab solutely to,abrogate tho.old, and. to make all things new. He aimed to.bring the temple and the sacri , fices and (he priesthood to arr end* not as a system of error, but as a system which had nothing more to accomplish, and which was now to be supplan ted by a higher dispensation.- Ho aimed to de stroy the national caste of the Jew. and to intro duce a' brotherhood of Jew and Samaritan and Gentile. .He ntiaolcpci without reserve the wisdom and sanctity of the Scribe and the' Pharisee. He met the doctor of the law and the ruler of the peo ple with the calm brow,and clea’rand unfaltering voice qf truth. Ho.threw,himself upon the merits of his cause, arid professed himself a radical Inno vator and reformer. . What juetified him!. Sim ply* that he had troth, on bis elde, and ha had his authority from, heaven. ; Christianity, introduced lo the world by the apostles, was an innovation upon old and honor able institutions. No innovation ever attempted was so destructive of the old order of ibingd* ; lt is an amazing history, this of the twelve apostles,' poor and unknown, going out into the world to upturn all the; religions of the worlds How they were ridiculed, scorned and.laughed at—they,,a few Ignorant, miserable fanatics, attacking, these religions which had stood for mighty centuries; which celebrated their rights in majestic temples* crowded by joyful'worshipers, bowing down'be fore beautiful, idols, which lived in the most glori ous forms of art,--which were the religions of an cient, powerful, and heroic nations, which had gathered around them history, philosophy and poetry, which had been acknowledged from time immemorial by their fathers, by kings and heroes,' by artists, poets, and philosophers! It is not to be wondered at, that when .they first appeared they, were objects of mere amusement, and the curious multitude cried out, “Let us hear what these bah lers have to say;" - Nor is it lo.be wondered at, that, as they produced a deeper and deeper im pression, and tho number of their adherents in creased, they should have been met by violent op* position and rancorous persecution- They.' were reproached as disturbers of the public peace; they were unsettling old beliefs; they were invading sacred institutions; they were scattering abroad infamous doctrines; they were turning the world upside down* , ; ; . All Look Upward. Were lhere ho other evidence of a God, ft might be found ip. this fact, that every thing in nature turns instinctively to something higher than'ltself. The simple herb expands itself- as if seeking the law of its growth in tho shrub that- bends over it, like a guardian angel.: The ehreb finds its type in.the tree; and the tree itself, because there is nothing higher, looks up |;o heaven. The tide swells to the moon; the vapor expands in the sun beam. So all animals.'tlmt'are brought into con nection with him, look up to man. Is the great law to be arrestied here! Is all beyond this a blank void! Is there no higher than himself, which may preserve for man the upward tendency of nil things—nothing which can stimulate and sustain, ana be the ultimate of his aspirations } Nature and reason alike reject the idea. If there were no rb 'pt-an— the-balance—it the connecting chain were rupiur •Hhera. man would bo thrust by the projectile -forces below into utter and universal annihilation; even to his physical being, because he could not, from his own strength alone, resist the upward impulse. The philosophy of steam will illustrate this; for tho expansive force acts powerfully from below* and if there is no outlet above, the accumu lation of power must terminate in explosion. In nature nothing is abrupt, therefore the chain of being cannot terminate thus suddenly in man; Tor as his body Is an elaboration of the refined ele ments of all below, so his spirit reaches out of it self, and expands into the essence of all. above. * HOMB. I know of ho passage in classical literature more beautiful or affecting than (hat whore Xenophon,' in his Anabasis, describes the effect produced on the remnant of (ho ten thousand Greeks when, af. ter passing through dangers without number, they at length ascended a sacred mountain, and, from ita.peajc and summit, caught.sightof the,sea.— Dashing their bucklers, with a.hymn of joy they rushed tumultuously forward. . Some wept with (he fullness of lhe|r delirious pleasure, others laughed.- and mornTflll on their knees and blessed that broad ocean. Across its blue waters, little floaling'sea-birds,' the. memorials of their happy homes came and fanned their weary souls. "All ths'perils they had encountered, all the compan ions they h>*d lost, all (he miseries they had -en dured, were in fln instant forgotten, and nought with them hut the phantoms of past and future Joys,* Drie was again scouring on his fleet* steed hbross the half trodden plains of Thessaly; another feciined beneath »heflowpr*crowned rocks of Ar cadia, and gazed into the dreamy eyes of her whose form, am|d battle,and bivouac was ever with him; a third recalled that proud day when, before, the streaming eyes of his overjoyed parents,.and amid) the acclamations of all Greece, he bore off from amid competitors the laurel wraith of tho Olym pian victor.

Mr. Chambers, tho person .who was per mitted by Mr- Bell lo become ihe’cuslodian'pro (em of 1 the 1 lives of three persons, was busy' waving flags and. culling: away some comical figures of-paper Attached to.(ho ear, and I was admiring the .wonder, fui panorama beneath roe,'when. I hoard a,report like (hut of’a inusket above my hcqd, and irhmedi. otely exclaimed that there was a' rent in the balloon, an-asscrtlon denied by Mr. Chambers, who had got by (his time.among tho netting* and la throw , out ballast, notwithstanding which - wo de scended with fearful velocity—tho houses,churches, and flclds beneath tis gelling nearer' and nearer every second. * - Exclamations of “ We’re all right !?* half hoping, halfdespairing, broko from us, followed by an awful cry from one .of us, at least, of “It’s all up with os!” Then; sir, wo three men in the oaf stared death in'the face for sOmd Torfy seconds, while Chambers (an old man* but as brave as s Hon) had cut (ho chords attaching the neck of the balloon to the hoop, the consequence of which was (hat the whole silk flow up lo the lop of the netting, and formed a parachute. - We Were then steady for a moment —then oscll. lotcd, (a proof .of comparative: safety)—then, went down, .down ogam, with frightful force. -Certain death" was .now. before qs; . but not one of us lost presence of nilnd/ though I‘had not the slightest hope of eacapo; Mr. Chambers- was entirely calm and collected, ■Wo cu( .away. the .grapnel, threw but more ballast, (bags and oil’, on my part,) and descehocd with a nearly so severe as I oxpUcted In a markel-'goHner’e field.

When we ascended, (he neck .of tho balloon was lied round with a silk handkerchief.; On clearing the earth, the balloon ascended to a higher .and much more ratified atmos phere'; (ho almosphcrlo pressure'became less ; the gas expanded rapidly; and tho balloon burst* Business and Sentiment.— We are often entertain ed, says an Engtleh-journsl, by thfi (one of sent!. m*nt adopted in advertising a death.

As a man, he was Amiable, aod aS a hatter upright and moderate. His Virtues were beyond nil price, and his beaver hats woro only twen ty-four shillings onch. Ho has left a widow to de plore his loss, end a largo stock to bo sold cheap for the benefit of his family.

His disconsolate family will carry on the business with punctuality.” Parson B-^—• was truly R pious man, and at the long graces which usually followed the meals, he and the whole family reverently knelt except the Parson’s brother, who, being o’er, much fat, usually stood with bis back to thq table and over looking tho garden. One day, it was summer time, the parson was unusually favored; not ap pearing to notice the fidgety movements of his brother, who kept twisting about, until finding up end.to the thanks, he bioke.in with— “Cut it short, Parson—cut il sbprt the cows are in the gardep playing tho d—l with the, cabbages.” The interruption, though ineverent was well timed, and the cows wore driven out.

Cuutoua Discovery,—A very curious discovery has been (pads in the province of Bulgaria, in Turkey. , Some Greek tvorftmen, in dfggipg near (he village of Rahmshilpah and the town of Hao znh, found a largo table of gray colored marble'; they removed it, and found one beneath exactly aimiliar; having removed that also, they saw a great number of objects shining like gold and sil ver. They hastened to the captain of the district, and that functionary, assisted by twoecolesiastios, proceeded to make an examination. They found n skeleton of a largo stature, with a copper hem let on hio head, surrounded ,by a lhin;orown of gold; the hands nnd arms up to the olbovvs were stained with something of n hronao color; in thn right hand was a poppef chain, with'ap inponso boxoftho same metal, covered with verdigris; oh the third finger *of the left hand wae a gold ring, xyjth the figures in Roman characters, fiC6. By llio side of tho skeleton were throe pups In silver, very brilliant, nnd twenty six iron cups very rusty, but bearing trades of having been glided; (here were also an immense number of nails, and about five hundred arrows, of which the Wood was rot ten and tho points rusty.
