Tho first twenty five years of Napoleon's life ho Was growing dotoni but when lie started up, heshot to the slots. Ho has titles enough to greatness, with- out borrowing plumes from thagratuitous bedeckings of prurient writers. On every subsequent emergency ho displayed capacity for which his contemporaries found no parallel. He outstripped the standard meas- urements of power in all its forme, and distanced competition at every step. It has oAcn been remarked by superficial authors (hat Napoleon rose at a favorable moment—that events were waiting for him. It is true—but not in the sense they understand it. It was a favorable moment fora groat pilot to seize the helm—for the ship was driving on the rocks—but It took a mighty hand to guide her* The fiery chariot of Revolution was rolling by, but every Phtolon who bad mounted the flying oar, hsd been dashed to pieces. It had crushed a thousand leaders In the dust, and was still careering its light ning way over thp bosom of France. Napoleon sprang to the car, and drove ji|whilhersoev«r ho list, cd.

While he nil making: hi# prepsra liona, bo dispatched a heavy body of catalry to cross the river by a distant ford, and hold themselves in readiness to fall on the Austrian rear, while Napoleon charged across the bridge. Ho watched anxiously, and at the first sign of their appearance in tho dis. lance, ho gave the order to advance, snd a column of grenadiers rushed on tho bridge mingling their shout* of Vixst 'U Republique with the roar of the Austrian cannon which were reining grape shot into their ranks. Tho solid masses of Indomitable talor recoiled for a moment when they received the storm. But Napoleon and his principal officer* rushed to their head—tho French bugles again sounded to tho charge, and the irresistible tide swept tho bridge as tho waves swept tho (foods of tho ocean/ Laonos was the first man who cleared the, bridge and Napo.

When Europe hetrd oflho battle they named the conqueror ••tiixhxbo OF Lout.” Tho few men still living who mingled in tho carnage of that day, never mention the name of Lodi without a shudder. The battle of Lodi gave tho victor contiol of the homo of tho Lom bard kings, whoso massive gales flow open four days after for his triumphal onlry. THE BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ.

An old grenadier approached him and said, Sire, von will not need to oiposo yooraolf; I promise, in the name of the grenadiers of the army, that you ! will have to fight only with your eyea; and wo will bring you the flags and artillery of the Russians to celebrate the anniversary of your coronation. lie rode back to his bivouac, a straw cabin with out a roof, which Mb grenadiers had prepared for him. and wrote a proclamation to hla army, In which ho said—" Soldlera, I ehall myaclf direct your batlal ions; If, with your accustomed, bravery, you carry confusion and disorder among the hostile ranks.

The whole camp had risen, and there could bo no more sleep thit night. Napoleon again mounted, and calling hla Msrahala and Generals together, Save them Tils orders, and 'the whole army waited for aybroak. Towards morning a thick fog overspread the vail plain of Auslrllt*, and covered both armies. This omen oast a gloom a for moment over the French battalions. But when the sun came up it rolled the mills Into heaven, and flooded iho field of Auitcrht* Wilh splendor. A single glance told that both armies were ready for conflict.

Two hundred heavy cannon opened their, fire; powerful divisions engaged both wings oftho enemy, and Murat charged (be centre with his dreadful cavalry. For one hour two hundred thousand heroes struggled for (ho su premacy of Europe. The lino of battle swayed to and fro over the plain liko a prairie on fire. The soul of Napoleon eoemed to have passed into his en tire army, and wherever his columns charged, they trampled whole battalions on the plain.

Mon is tho creature of interest and ambition— Hiwnaturo leads him forth into tho struggle and buttle of the world. Love is but the embellish ment of his early life, or a song.mped in the inter ns of the acts. Ho seeks forlarne, for fortune, for space in the world's thought, and dominion over Ins fellow-men. But a woman's whole life fa a history of the affections. Tho heart is her world; It is there her ambition striven for empire —it Is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul in the traffic of affection; and, if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is a bankruptcy of the heart. To a man, the disappointment of love may occa sion some bitter pangs; it wounds some feelings of tenderness—it blasts some prospects of felicity; but he is on active being; he may dissipate his thoughts in the whirl of varied occupation, or may plunge into tho tide of pleasure; or, if the scene of disappointment be too full of painful associations, he can shift his.abode at will, and taking, as it were the wings of the morning, can "fly to the ut termost parts of the earth, and bo at rest." Out woman's is comparatively a fixed* a seclu ded* and a meditative life. She is more the com panion of her own thoughts and feelings; and if they are turned to ministers of sorrow, where shall i she look for consolation t Her lot is to be woed | and won; and, if unhappy in her love her heart is i llko some fortress that hosbeoncaptured.BDd sack. How many bright eyes grow dim—how many soft cheeks grow pale—how many lovely forms fade away into the tomb, and nono can tell the cause that blighted their loveliness! As the dove will clasp Its wings to Its side, and cover and con ceal the arrow that is praying on Its vitals—eo is It in nature of woman to hide from the world the pangs of wounded affection. The Tovoof a deli cate female is always shy and silent. Even when fortunate, she scarcely breathes it to herself; but when otherwise buries it in the recesses of her bo som, and there let it cower and brood among the ruins of peace. With her, the de'klre of her heart has failed—the great charm of existence is at an end. She neglects all the cheerful exercises which gladden'tha spirits, quicken the pulses, and send the tide of life in healthful currents through the veins. Her real is broken—the sweet refreshment of sleep Is poisoned by melancholy dreams—“dry sorrow drinks her blood,** until her enfeebled frame sinks under tho slightest external injury. Look for her after a little while, and you find friendship weeping over her untimely grave and wondering that one, who but lately glowed with all radiance of health and beauty, should so speedily bo brought down to “darkness and tho worm.** xou will bo told of some wintry chill, some casual indisposi tion, that laid her low—but no one knows the men* , tat malady that previously sapped her strength, and made her eo easy a prey to the spoiler.

We see it drooping its branches to the earth, and shedding leaf by leaf; until, wasted and perished away, it falls oven In the stillness of the forest; and as wo muse over the beautiful ruin, wo strive in vain to recollect the blast or thunder bolt that could have smitten it with decay.

So they had,! but tbo douce of it is,.all.the hand some men use it in some shape; aad kissing is a little luxury not to bo dispensed with! Astoa/emofo kiss, faugh I there's no efftrvesenee in it! it's as flat as an unmixed soda powder! If I'm,victimized that way, I always taka an early application of soap and water! You will see woman practice it sometimes, just to'keep their hand in;' (lips, I mean,) but it's miserable substitute! a sham article! done half the time to tantalizosomo of the male audience! (I hope to bo pardoned for turning 'State's evidence,' bat I don't cure a pin if I ain't!) Now kissing is a natu ral gift, (not to be acquired by one and a bungler;) when you moot with a gifted brother, 'make a nolo on'l,’ as Copt. Cuttle says. There's your untverid kisser, who can't distinguish between your hiss and your grandmother's—faught!—there's yourphiloso phical, transcendental kisser, who goes ‘through the motions' in the air ! then there's ■"■oh !my senses ! —they say (here's such a thing as 'unwritten music,* and'unwritten poetry,* I have my private suspi cions there are 'unwritten kisses A Troasnr, Costing no Money* Which will you do—smile, and make your house, hold happy,or be crabbed, and mako all those young ones gloomy, and (ho elder ones miserable? Tho amount of happiness you can produce is incalculable, if you show a smiling face, a kind heart sod speak pleasant words. Wear a pleasant countenance ; lot joy beam In your eyes, and love grow on your foro bead. There Is no Joy like that which springs from a kind act or a pleasant deed ; and you will fee) it at night when you rest, at morning when you rise, and through (ho day when about your business.

A Touching Loiter* Tho following letter addressed to Crist who was lately convicted on a charge of murder at Mobile, by hia wife, shortly after his arrest In Ohio, is a touching proof of woman's devotion : Cleveland, April 7,1852.

Bui, dearest, if you did commit that crime, I beg of you, as a husband and a father, lo tell mo, before you die, ao I can bo bolter satisfied; for, Oh, God knows that if they hang an innocent man, and I should bo convinced of the fact, my reason would depart forever, and they would have tho blood of two innocent persons lo answer for. Bui If you ore hung, and confess that you nro guilty, then I would bo belter satisfied, because I could not blame .them for doing their duly—although I shall never fool any different towards you than I do at present; for vou have always been to mo a kind, beloved husband.— 1 cannot feel ought towards you but love and respect, whether you live or die—but, ns 1 said before, I can’t believe you guilty until they prove you such ; ond I hope you will convince them of your innocence, that wo may meet again and continue to live happily to gether in this world—and when wo die, that wo may bo joined together in heaven, is the prayer of your once happy, but now really aflliclcd wife. 1 pioflumu Aodrtws did not go with you, but I presume ho will go down immediately, and do his best towards having tho matter thoroughly investi gated.

The) most violent passions and excitements ot mind bannol preserve even powerful minds from sleep; mas Alexander the Great slept on the field of Arbtla, and Napoleon upon that of AnaterlUz. Even 'stripes and torture cannot keep off sleep, as criminals have been known to sleep on the rack. Noises which at first serve to drive away sleep, soon become indispensable to its existence; thus a stago*coaoh stopping to change horses, wakes all the passengers. The proprietor of an iron forgo, who slept close to the din of hammers, forges aud blastfurnaces, would awake if there was any interruption to them during, the) night; and a sick miller, who had his mill slopped on that account, passed sleepless nights until the mill resumed its usual noise— Homer, id his Iliad, elegantly represents sleep as I overcoming all men, and even the gods, except' Jupiter alone.— Macknigkt, How many there are in every community, (ho whole height of whoso ambition is to live on appear* anoes; whoso souls are bent upon garnishing the outer sepulchre, and becoming fashionable, Tho cultivation of the mind is neglected, refinement of taslo and sense blunted; everything is made to con* tre on what effect they shall make in other people's oyoe.

Tho more persons learn (ho loss they assume to know, and you will always find them indifferent to dress, and modest and retiring from the world's gate.— Often you will find more worth in the beggar in his rags, than the fashionable, lordly personage, who la as likoly to bo a scoundrel, debauchee or highway* roan, as a man of wealth to day; but there ia no knowing that ho will bo a man of wealth to morrow} for thcru is nothing that sooner takes to itself wings and flics away, than wealth.

Appearances. Printers In Battle. Thrilling Incident. OlarUet] Plafu The Wer they mUul Peek Hog* In Ohio Stfcte, Aside from the prodigious number of hogs, cat | tie, sheep and calves disposed of, there is an Inte rest in watching the machine-like order of the ’ work. The butcher’s yard end building is, of course, not a very noat place, while the blood and ’ offal of two thousand hogs a day pass through 1 them. The slaughter-house is situated In some retired hollow, with a small stream passing be neath it, and Is, generally, a cheap temporary building. The hogs of each drove are kept In a separate pen, till the hour of execution, when a devoted fow, say thirty or forty, are compelled, much against their will, to march up a platform within tho building. Here, a man with an iron sledge goes among them, and strikes them on the head with a dull, sickening sound, and they fall with out a squeal. While In a senseless slate, they aio thrown upon a grating near the scalding vats, where they are stuck, and the blood flows into the stream below. The vats are wide enough to place 1 a hog crosswise, and long enough to hold ten or twelve at a time; and there are, in large establish ments, two vats, on each side of which are five or six men, making twenty in all. The water is kept hot by steam, and tliecarcassea are constantly kept turning and stirring as they pass along, so that when they reach (he farther end of the vat they are etript to a hair, and aro hauled out and bung up by the heels for gulling. Tho man who strikes thorn puts a mark' on tho leg of each, to show who is tho owner. A hog is flushed from the grating, all quivering and bloody, nlo the scalding water, about once in half a min ute, end a clean carcass is hauled out of tho other end of tho vat ae frequently, and also another taken from (ho gambrel and carried to the hooks as often, where he hangs till the next morning to cool. For two vats, about fifty men are required. The next morning, a four or six horse loam appears at (he slaughter-house bright and early, and, piling the stiff carcasses into a huge rack, conveys them to the packer’s. The butcher, instead of being paid ! for his expense, pays tho drover something—eight I or ten, or twelve cents a head—for tho chance; and 1 all the offal belongs to him, including everything 1 belonging to the animal.
