In wandering through the •tighweys and by ways" of history, hoW curious it is to seek out the springs which set the world in motion, and to reed bow the most Wive' circumstaces bays occa sioned the subversion of empires and erected new ones in their stead; in a word, how the most ina 'tiowant events frequently came to pass from very inconsiderable causes. Alleur instances, "though at random strung," may beSinteresting. The story or Semiramis shell be our 'first in stance. How this beautiful heroine by her charms and her valor won the heart and crown of Nii:101/. King of Assyria, history doth tell. Enamored of his bride, one unlucky morning ht. resolved on seeing all Asia subject to the will of one who bed posses ion of his heart; he therefore gave bar absolute authority for the space of one day, and ordered all his subjects to execute the commands of; Semiramis. A wise end prudent woman ward& &Jubilees; have made use of this frolic to tell Ninus of hie faults ; not so, however, with Semiramis; she consulted bet ambition and her cruelty, for as soon as Ninus bad placed this pow er in her hands she. employed it in causing him to be_ossassinated. The traitors whom she ern , emplo - yed for this vile purpose, reported that the king had given up the reigns of the empire to his wife because be found his end approaching; thulthe people believed and readily acknowledged Semiramis as their sovereign. How she used her newly-acquired power by building the city of Ba bylon, employing two millions of men; how „ rthe extended thr Assyrian empire by levelliciginoun tains, turning the course of rivers, andding vast cities ; and how she failed in her tittainpted conquest of India, - and was, in consequence, pri vately put to death by her sonNiniss,history doth narrate; we have told enough to prove how a lit tle cause produced a great effect. Agesilaus, when in the flush of conquest, was one day suddenly seized with the cramp in his left leg„ which caned him great pain. "Men thinking that it had bein,but blood which filled the vein, a physician twits there opened a vein under the ancle of his foot, but there came such abundance of blood that they could not stanch it, so that be swooned often and was in danger of present dehth. In fine, a way was found to stop it, and they carried him to Lacedtemon; whore he lay sok a long time, so that he was past going to the wars any more, and thus bacedremon lost hor hero!' • "Iri most naval fights," says Sir Thomas Brown, "some notable advantage, error, or tinex-' pectetVoccurence nath determined the victory. The great fleet of Xerxes Was overthrown by the dire• advantage of a narrow plain for battle. la the encounter of Diulius, the Homo, with the Car.? theginian fleet, a new invention of the iron eorri (beaks to the ships,) made a decision of the bat tle on the Roman side. The. unexpected sailing off of the galleys of Cleopatra' lost the battle of Actium. Even in the battle of Leponto, if .Car acozs had given the Turks orders not to narrow on account of the number of theChristie' gal lays, they had in all probability declined the ad venture of a battle; and even when they came to fight the unknown force, an Advantage of. the eight Venitian gallium's a the Main stroke unto - the victory." Archimedes, we know, set.fire to the ships of %termites at a considerable distal:me, by binning glasses; and this philosopher, who had oared to move the World with a lever, was taken off in a very unseemly manner; for be was .Ikilled by a soldier who knew him not, while ietstelrelpon some 'geometrical figures, which he had :Ahem upon - . the sand. Rome had its foundation by tbetir brlthrs, Romohliondliemus, oared trum:ise torrent or JOURNAL, the Tiber; and the preservation of the aphis! by the crackling - of geese, are example: of great effects from little causes, too (smiler to need quo tation in detail. The founding of Carthage by Dido, is a kindretravent; for the cunning colon ist, to escape the cruelty of her brother Pygmalion, put her goods and chant= on board ships, and sailed in quest of a new settlement. Having landed on. the African coast, Dido is said - to have bought from the natives as much ground as she mold encompass with a bull'esidn. In this trans action she evinced both ingenuity and mathemati cal skill, for she not only cut the skin into very small Change but, after joining them. laid them in the farm of a cirels, a Siete which spacious the largest space by the smallest bounding has. .Bce that glued she bunt Carthage, ens of the ale kited cities of antiquity. The latter put of this account has been disputed, but it •bas ohm been quoted se authentic history. ,„ The fall of Lucretia was the cause of the ex pulsion of the kings from Rome, and the change of the monarchy into a republic; and the licentious passion of one of the Decemsiri, (Appius Chu-. dies) led to the abolition of the Decemrimte, u is told in the touching story of Virginias and daughter. The conspiracy of Calsline was defeated thrimgh the disgust of Pelvis -with her lover, Cymru, when he could no longer heap presents upon her. Curtiss, who wan one of the conspirators, had, "in moment of coofidence,^ told, the plot to Fut via, who spread it...abroad ; it soon reached the cam of Cicero, who discovered it to the Senate : Catiline Bed from Rome, and took up arms; no was pursued, overtaken, a battle ensued, in which he was killed, and-thus Rome was saved by t bdrayal of a woman's secret, from one of the most powerful combinations ever formed for the overthrow of the Hainan state, The ugliness of another Fulvia was the cause of a deal war be tween Anthony and °devious ; for Oct/Mous-re jecting the suit of Fulvis, and declaring that her ugliness terrified him more xhan death, the indig nant woman led the Roman soldiers against him, and set the two Triumviri fighting. Titus Antoains was. raised to the throne of ' Census through his affection for his father. The emperor Admit' one day ash► Titus leading the infirm old mad to the Senate; he instantly adopt ed him, and, after the death of Adriin, Titus as cended the imperial throne.," Commodus, another emperor, of a eery ditlar;. cot stamp, was killed throughsehild playing with a paper which he bad found in the emperor's chamber. The little boy bed been mated in the palace, had followed Commodius into his apart ment, aud, - staying there after hie departure, took -up the paper and went out of doors, playing with kris he walked through the street ; the child was met by a woman, who, taking the" document out of his hand, found it to be the sentence of her own death, .as well as some other persons, they together saved their own lives by first poisoning and then strangling the imperial tyrant. • Beliearius, one of the:greatest captains-in his tory, after having conquered .the Persians, and subdued Africa and Italy, .wu deprived of- all his honors and dignities for haying very properly re proached his worthless wife.. She being a confi dante of the empress, persiieded the latter to get up a charge of revolt against Tielisarius, and then instigated Indian to confiscate the soldier's estate and goods, and degrade him: "Before Belisarius's disgrace," says the account, somewhat naively, "every person though it an honor to be in his company; but, after his misfortune, none dare to speak to him, compassionate him, or even to men tion his name., True friends are rarely met with among the great." Placidia, the mother of Valentinian lll,Emper or of the West, brought up her .daughter, Hon oria, so severely that the young princess, who was a forward vixen, to get rid of the maternal re straint, wrote a letter to Attila, king of the Huns, offering him her hand, and, as a pledge of her faith, sent him half a ring. Attila, who only wanted • pretext for ravaging the west, took ad. vantage of Honoria's offer, and wrote to the •Em-, peror Valentinian that Honoria was his wife; de sired that he would send her to him, and likewise cede to him the moiety of the empire which wits to be her portion, Valentinian, of course, refused these unreasonable demands, which so enraged Attila, that-he ravaged all Gaul and Italy, ■nd drove some of the inhabitants of the latter to • the point of the Adriatic Gulf, where they . built themselves cottages, and thus commenced the city of Venice. • Velentinian 111, was a reckless gambler, and whilst Rome was falling to pieces for the second time, this emperor was playing at dice with his ministers, and cheating them whenever he could; and Maximus preserved the friendship, of thii emperor only by gaming with him. One day when they had both played very deeply, Maximus lost a considerable sum; and, as he bad not the amount with him, the emperor compelled him to leave his ring with him as security. Through the base use which Yalentinias mods of the ring, he wu assassinated ill a conspira4 formed by Maximus, who succeeded to the imperial throne, and than compelled Eudoxia, the widow of Valeatiniim, to accept his hand. She soon became disgusted at his cruelty, and invited the Vandals from Af. ries to come to her sid Generic caught at this opportunity of gratifying the desire he bad of. pillaging Italy : he soon landed with a large army, advanced to Rome, and entered the city, sword in hand, and-pillaged it for fourteen days. He then returned to Carthage, carrying with him the Em press Eudoxia, and all the principal personages of Rome. loaded with chains : in the mean time; the people enraged at ?Animus tore him to pieces. Thus we see how the inability of a gambler to pay a lass immediately led to the sacking of the mistress of the world. Many • war has been caused by the moot trif. ling circumstances: here is an instance. About the middle of the. thirteenth century, the two re publics of Genoa and Venice were at the height of their prosperittuf had establishments in all parts of the world. ?herbed a considerable one in the city of Acre, on the cost of Syria, where they lived, subject to the laws of their respective teotintries, in perfect union. Their peace was, 'however, destroyed by a mere • accident. Oae day, two porters, one a Genoese; and the other a Venetian, fell out about a bidet of goods which was to be carried. From words they fell to blows; the merchants, who at first gathered round them only by way of amusement to, see the battle, at length took part in the quarrel, each assisting his countryman; tad much- blood was spilt on both sides. Complaints were soon carried to Genoa .and Venice ; ,ised the magistrates of each Repub lic agreed that satisfaction should -be made for the damage, by arbitration. The Genoese had the greater sum to pay, which they failed to do; when the Venetians, by wey of retribution, set on fire all the Genoese vessels which were then in the port of Acre., A sanguinary bittle ensued ; and the account says, Genoa and 'Venial resolved to support their merchants, and each fitted out a considerable fleet; the Genoese were beaten, and 'Compelled to abandon their settlements at Acre, when the Venetians raised their houses - and forts, and destroyed their magazines. Genoese, irrita ted at their defeat, refitted their fleet, and every citizen offered to venture his person and fortune to revenge the outrage on his country. Mean while, the Venetians were equally active. The sea was covered with ships of the rival RA-pub lics ; an engagement ensued, much blood was spilt, and many brave citizens were lost on both sides. In fine, after a long and cluel war, in which the two Republics reaped nothing but shame, they made peace. To - wards the middle of the fourteenth century the Gehoese became disgusted with the tyrrany of the nobility, and sighed for change.. The populace wished to elect in Abbe, whose author. ity should keep in check the captains, who were then the magistrates of the Republic. A large and tumultuous zneeting was accordingly held for the electiod-ofian Abbe of the People. The tumult increased, the people grew. warm, and were about to proceed to blows; when a shoema ker who had just come out from a wino honse, mixed actors the 'crowd, and getting upon au ele vation, emboldened by the fumes of wine, be bawled out, "Fellow citizens, will you hearke nl to me - d" Fhe Genoese, being about to tear each. other to pieces, burst into a, beauty. laugh. Some told the aboemakertobe quiet others encouraged him to speak; but some threw dirt at him. The orator was nowise disconcerted. and shouted out : -"You ought to nominate to the dignity of Abbe of the People an honest mini; and .

The ambitious man then said ha was ready to submit to the will of the people; to be Abbe Or Lord.' as they should ordain. - This feigned humility pleased the people, es he had calculated: they . shouted, , "Lord Boeesnegra !" smile was peoelelamd perpetual Dogs! So that the speech of dtunken ohmmeter caused t h e Goverammt of Genoa to be transferred from the . Robles to the people, said a single man toteadme solo toaster in the State. How the Genoese fell under the Austriin yoke, we need not puticularize ; they freed themselves froth it through a very trifling occurrence. On DecuzMir, 1746, the Genoese were compelled to assist in drawing the artillery of their, city, to aid their conquerors in an expedition against prov ince. In drawing one of the mortar; through a narrow street,the carriage broke, a cr wd assent bled, in the midst .of which an Austrian officer struck with his can* a Genoese, who was slow at his work. The exuparated republican drew his knife and stabbed the officer; the whole crowd of Genoese became excited ;.thay broke open the armorer 's shop, demolished the gates of the arse nal and of the powder magazines, fell upon the Austrians and drove them out of the city ; the peasantry poured in and joined the citizens, end Muir they, drove the enemy entirely from the State of Genoa. The Genoese celebrated, with great rejoicing, this recovery of their liberty; with great solemnity they draw through the itreeta their mortar which had occasioned this revolution. The Austrian army, destined for the expedition against Provence, marched to and blocked op Genoa; but Prance sent the citizens aid—the Duke de Riche lieu saved thi Republic, and the Senate erected a - statue in honor of him.

WELL ASSORTED MARRLINS.--HOW often the predictions of the world in regard to marriage prove: false ! Thera are seers in 'every community, who gifted with a second sight, Yen tura to predict the fete of every couple. From • lack of knowledge upen what basis well assorted marriages are founded, they sadly deviate from the truth. - Schlegel in his philosophy says: Con gemiality of temper forms it is confessed, the sole basis of domestic peace and contentment, and a happy, i. e., well assorted marriage. But toTe teimine-on what this depends in each individual cue, is a problem which, considering the extreme- , ly great and infinite varieties of human disposi tions, admits not of a precise or particular solution. On this point the closest of observers are not un frequently deceived in their predictions. How often do those agree very well of whom previous. ly it would not have been supposed possible! On the contrary,those frequently live most unhappily together of whose blissful union the judgment of society and the ordinary estimate of human char acter bad led to the most favorable anticipations. Ncvertheless,for the latter a general reason may be given. It is not so much the similarity of tastes and puriuits as rather the went in one of some mental quality possessed by the other, that forms .the strongest source of attraction between two sexes, so that the inner life or consciousness of the one finds its complement in that of the other, or at least receives from its further development and elevation. Fot in the same way that a certain community of goods and property, even though not complete or enforced by law, yet still in some =MUM and by dolly use don practically take place in wedlock : so, also, by the constant inter change of thought and feeling, a sort of communi ty of consciousness is produced, which derives its charm and value from difference in the neutral character of the two sexes." INFLUENCE OF CLEANLINES3.-4 neat, clean, fresh-aired, sweet; cheerful, wellerranged, and well-situatad house, exercises a moral as well as physical influence over, its inmates, and makes the members of a family peaceable and considerate of the feelings and happiness of each other ; the connection is obvious between the state of mind thus produced, and habits of respect for others and for those higher duties and:Obligations which no laws can enforce. On the contrary, a filthy, squalid, noxious dwelling, rendered still more wretched by its noisome site, and in which none of the decencies of life can be observed, contrib utes to make its unfortunate inhabitants selfish, sensual, end regardless of the feelings of each other; the constant indulgence of such passions renders them reckless rind brutal; end the transi tion is natural to propensities and habits incom patible with a respect for the property of others or for die laws.-[Common School Journal.
