Mural trembled to ask her in marriage, in (ho apprehension ofla refusal ground* ded upon his humble birth and want of fortune; but Bonaparte, counting his bravery for riches and and his own favor for blood, offered her to him.— Mural, tho moat enamored and most happy of men, gave his heart to tho sister, ond to (ho brother bis gratitude and devotion. Thanco forward the two families wore mingled like their two destinies. In charging ho never used a sabre, nor oven a small sword; the only weapon ho wore on horseback was a Roman blade, broad and short, unless in attack or defense, against tho long blades of the enemy’s cav* airy. This blade, with a hilt of mother of pearl, artistically inlaid with precious stones, was orna mented with tho portrait oflho beautiful Queen Car oline his wife, ond of their four children; ho never drew his weapon from tho scabbard bnlonco, in a moment of great danger, and then not to strikflJviUv oPtiffiflP/’&y'w{iicinrd”waB surrounded.

It is not, of course, impossible that in so many charge when I dashed my horso forward at tho head of tho squadrons, some pistol shots fired at random may have wounded or killed nn enemy, but I have known nothing of tho matter; ifaman fell dead before mo, and by my hand, Ins imago would bo always present to my view, and would pursue mo to the tomb."— Sensibility ofheartia thuenllicd, in (ho modern war. rior, with tho impetuosity of courage, lie craves far victory in (ho mass, but tho details of carnage excite his horror and his pity. This passion of military splendor which exposed (ho lifo of Murat to tho blows of tho enemy, was part of the charm by which ho led on his soldiers.— Ills custom was a portion of his character, with which ho courted popularity in (ho camp. Splendor was for him tho imago of glory. A native of (ho south, ho loved, like (ho Cid, Spanish pomp, showy steed, arms of precious workmanship, and the rich and highly colored dresses of Arabs. Ills' uniform was never anything but tho dazzling caprice of his imiginalion; ho generally wore bools of red moroc co, with Urge folds fulling over tho instep, ornumon. ted with golded spurs; while pantaloons, fitting close, and displaying (ho manly beauty ofhis limbs : a brocaded vest, a short tunic filling close to tho waist, (rimmed with fur, ond garnished with gold lace; a high crowned hat, like that of the attendants of Francis 1., adorned with two or three plumes of feathers, and on egret floating and sparkling in (ho air. A theatrical hero In appearance, but readily pardoned for his warlike ostentation,because it was surpassed by Ins bravery, and that tho sccno of his display was always in the midst offiro and carnago. Napoleon sometimes smiled with his lieutenants at tins somewhat puerile display ofhis brother-in-law ; but ho was pleased even with this excess, because it contrasted ao well with his simplicity—another spe cies of charm with which ho also stiuck tho eyes of the soldiers. Baling Pea* with a Pon«lCnife I on, HOW A STUDENT AND AN OLD HUNTER WERE OUT* A Professor of Mathematics being sent lo Adiron just graduated, ond an old liunlcr.aa guide ond cook. Passing a clearing where were ionic pow* they purchased a small quantity to give relish to dinner. They camped on the borders of a lonely lake, and while the professor was taking some observations tho hunter and graduate prepared the dinner. Tho professor noticing a chuckling between the student and back woodsman, suspected some trick, and strolled quietly towards tho fire as if to got at a now point of observation, but in faol to watch their proceedings. Supposing'tho Professor deep In equations and i angles, they relaxed their caution, and ho observed | that each was making & wooden spoon with his penknife. Hero was a conspiracy to deprive him ofj his sharo of the peas, as ho had only a ponknlfo to oat thorn with. Saying nothing, ho walked to the I take shore, and picked up a muscle shell larger than | Inn ordinary spoon, he Cited a spill slick to it for a I handle, and pul both into his pocket. Then saunter* , ing back, he kept around until tho dinner was cooked. Ilia presence restricted their operations, and they wore able to make but shallow spoons. Tho peas were poured Into tho dish, and lo! it was all soup. Imagine them seated around their food each slabbing with Ilia penknife at the peas, which dodge under tho surface like frogs when pelted by miechlov. ous boys.- -After this ridiculous process hart been carried on awlillo, the hunter and student flourished their wooden spoons, and with a hurrah made ® ®‘ vo at tho peas. The professor said not a word, but coolly drew forth hts muscle shell and slick, ond filling them together, began lo ladle up tho soup.— Tho hunter and graduate were surprised, and gazed with blank countenances at tho quiet professor, who without saying a word,or changing a feature, dm*, gently plied his shell, ond in a short time every pea ' had vanished. Tho whole operation was earned on i with the sobriety with which ho would have solved an equation, while tho hunter and student looked confusedly at each other, without uttering a word of expostulation. Tho joke was so good that the conspirators were compelled lo laugh; and the old hunter, as he licked his empty spoon, confessed that fur onco ho had been outwitted.— Lift in the Wooaa. WAUVOO.

Bayard Taylor, now (ravelling In Africa, pre sents a very different opinion upon the vegetable and meat-eating natives, than that which vegeta nans.promulgate; they boast of the superiority of the rice and milk eaters. Taylor boasts on the opposite side of the road. Hero is what he says: “Tho scenery of (ho Nile, southward from Shen ay. is again changed. The tropical rains which fall occasionally at Aboa Hammed, and scantily at Berber, are hero periodical, and thoro is no lon ger the same striking contrast between desert and garden land. Tho plains extending inward from (he river, and covered with a growth of bushes and coarse grass, which also appears in patches on the sides of the mountains.

Tho Now York Express brings to light o singu lar historical fact which Is not generally known, j It says that in 1817, a Russian of eminence, M. Pozzo do Borgo, being then in Paris, proposed in 1 a memoir addressed to his court on tho importance 1 of replacing South America under the dominion of ' Spain, that thoUnitcd States should bo subjugated. He said that, “Founded on the sovereignly of tho 1 1 people, tho republic of tho United Stales of Arne-1 Irica was a fire, of which tho doily contact withl 1 Europe threatened the latter with conflagration; that as an asylum for all innovators it gave them 1 the means of disseminating at a distance, by their i writings and by the authority of their example, a . position of which the communication could not bo . questioned, as it was well known that tho French I revolution had its origin in tho United Stales, that > already troublesome effects were fell from the pres • enco of the French refugees in tho United Stales. 1 The Russian ambassador went on to state and ar f guo, that tho conquest of tho United Slates was on 1 easy enterprise; that tho dogroo of power to which tho Americans had risen made ihom objects of fear 1 to tho European monarchical governments, &c.— The editor of tho Express came in contact with this curious paper in the Slate Library at Albany, in an old file of tho Missouri Republican, printed i more than thirty years ago.

The time of year is not a matter of great moment, unless very large quantities are used. As for the mode of applying—the object, plainly is to incorporate it with such portions of the soil as the roots feed in; henco if worked in by a strong harrow, two horso cultivator, gong plow, or even with a common rather shallow running plow, it will answer a good purpose. —Albany Cultivator* Accuracy In Farming* Why is it (hat many farmers at sixty years bfj age, pursue precisely the same course in their’ farming operations which they did at forlyt Is U becaueo there has been no improvements to be made? Surely not. Is it because comfort and ease and competency for nil reasonable desires wore already secured? Very far from it. I There can be no doub.l that the farmer who atu* 1 dies carefully the results of individual or particular causes, will, In the end, fill a larger granary, and ; hold a higher placo among the benefactors of bis \ race than he who takes no note of the way he is r passing.

In (he fall Ur was impossible to distinguish between that man-' ured in tho hill and that not, although what was apnlicd in tho hill was so much extra. Another piece, planted the same year, was broken op In the spring, and a heavy dressing of gredn barn manor* Iwus plowed undor tbo sod. A part of this was manured in the hill with compost from the hog yard, and the remainder with straw manure from, the barn yard. Ono row was left without any.—, ’ Tho result was, that whore the strawy manure waa used tho corn was very little better thnn 1 there was nono, but thocomppst doubled tho crop.- Also, in 1851, an experiment similar to tho last was made, with a llko result. The quantity df manure used was about ono-half shovelful to each' My opinion in regard to this subject is that it Nr* not of much use to uso greon, unformenled manor* in tho com hill, but ooropoat, and old onformented 1 manure applied in proper quantities In the fcillli* would always remunerate tho farmer for tho extra* expense, and in many cases would double thertop.- But in this, as in every other case, we should oa* judgmentand discrimination, and not think thatoffo’ rule will work well under all Maine Farmer, Tomato Tho following is tho molhod of preserving' tbs Qiatocs in Deimoda, ond thereby raaDufaollitrcgsl swoot preserve somolhlng like figs! . , _ “Toko six pounds of sugar to one pock foreik loon pounds) of llio fruit, eoald and remove theakin of tiro fruit in tiro usual way,cook them over a fire, iliolr own Juice being sufficient without tlie addl -1 lion of water, until tiro augur penetrates attd 1 they arc clarified, thoy arc tlrcn sltnkon out, spread on; dishes, flaltonod, and dried In tho son.
