I had good opportunities for forming our opinion, living in the same bouse villi him for several years, bavin bis confi dence, and seeing him all hours of the day and night. It also on several occasions became my dvty lo study the question, with a view to govern my conduct under critical circumstances. Twice he applied !o nie lo carry challenges for him. It would have been inhuman to have gone out wilh n man not in his ri 'lit mind and critical lo one's self, as any accident on the ground might seriously compromise the second. My opinion was fixed, of occa sional temporary nbberations ol the mind ; and during such periods he votiid do and say slrange things but always in his own way not only method, but genius in his Inntastics; nothing to bespeak a bad heart, but only exultation and excitement. The most brilliant tails that I ever heard from him came forth on such occasions n flow for hours (at one time sever, hours) ol co pious wit and classic allusion a perlect scattering of the diamonds of the mind- 1 heard a friend remark on one of these occa sions, "He has wasted intellecual jewelry enough here this evening to equip many speakers for great orations." I once sound- the delicate point of liis own . t . - . , opinon cf himself: of course when he was in a perfectly natural stale, and when he had saul something to permit an approach to such a subject. It was during bis last visit to a.?hii)gton, two winters belore he died. It was in my room in gloom of the evening light, as the day was going out and the lamps not lit no one present but our selves he reclining on a sofa, silent and thoughtful, spcakingbut seldom, andT on.ly in reply, l liearo bun repeat, as if to him self, those lines from Johnson (which in fact I had often heard from bun before,) on "Senility and Imbecility," which shows us llie under lis mct melancholy lorin.

I said this lo sound him, and to see what he thought of him self. His answer was : 'l have lived in dread of insanity." That answer was the opening ol the sealed book revealed to me the source of much mental agony thai I had seen him undergo. I did deem him in danger of llie fate of Swift, and from the same cause as tuiJged bv his latest and greatest biographer, Sir Walter Scott His parliamentary life was resplendent in talent elevated in moral tone always . ., , .. ,. - . , - " . , V ". triotism, and scorning everything mean and eelfbh. lie was llie indignant enemy of personal plunder legislation, and the very scourge ol intrigue ana corruption. lie reverenced an honest man in the humblest garb, and scorued the dUhonest, though plated with gob'.

In the salutary operation r.f this sagacious and benevolent restraint, it is be lieved that the inhabitants of Indiana will, at no very distant day, find ample remu neration for a temporary privation of labor and emigration. Fie was against slavery ; and by bis will' both manumitted and provided for thr hundreds which he held. Hut he was against foreign interference with his rights, his feelings or his duties ; and never failed to resent and rebuke such interference Thus he was one of the most zealous of the opposers of the proposed Missouri re striction ; and even voted against the divi sional line ol "thirty-six, thirty In the House, when the "slaveholder' would be reproachfully used, he would a-stime il, and refer to a member, not in the pttrlii menlary phrase of colleague, but in the complimentary title ol "my fellow slave holder." And in London, when the con signee of his tobacco, and the slave factors of his father, urged him to liberate his slaves, he quieted Iheir intrusive philan thropy, on the spot, by saying : "Yes : you buy and set free to the amount of mon ey you have received from my father and his estate for these slaves, and 1 will set free an equal number." In his youth and bitter age he fought duels; in his middle life, he was against them ; and for a while he would neither give-nor receive a challenge. He was under religious conviction to the contrary, but finally yielded, as he believed, lo an argument of his own, that n duel was a private war, and rested iion the same basis as public war; and bolh were allowable, when there was no other redress for in- insultsand injuries.. That was his argu ment; bvit I thought his relapse came more from feeling than reason ; especially from the death ol Decatur, lo whom he was greatly attached, and whose duel with Carron long and greatly excited him. He had religious impressions, ami a vein of piety which showed ilsell more in private than in external observances. lie was habitual in his reverential regard lor the divinity of our religion ; one of his beauti ful expressions wa, that "If women had lost us paradise she had gained us heaven." 1 he hible and Shaksneare were, in his hit ler years, his constant companions travel ing with him on the road remaining with him in the chamber. The last time I saw him (in that last visit to Washington, after his return from the Russian mission, and when he was in lull view ol death,) 1 heard him read the chapter in the Revela tions (of the openingaof the seals,) with such power and beauty of voice and deliv ery, and such depth of patho?, that I felt as I had never heard the chapter read before. When he had got to the end of the sixth seal, he slopped the reading, laid the book (open at the place) on his breast, as he lay on his bed, anil began a discourse upon the beauty and sublimity of Ihe Scriptural wri tings, compared lo which he considered all human compositions vain and empty. (iging over the i maces presented by the opening of the seals, he averred that their sublimity that no human power could take the same awe and terror, and sink ourselves into such nothingness in the presence of the "wrath of the lamb" that lie wanted no proof of their divine origin mil ine sublime feelings winch they in spired.

Il was the fate of tho father of I.rimartinp, tho groat living French poet ai d orator, to 01 mixed up wilh tho first French revolution. During that stormy period, he, with a groaj number ef his enmpulriols, were immured in piison nt Macon. .- llts wus nol there long OL. fore his wife, w ith hor child, took lodgings oppsile llie v. iudow of llie cull which enclosed tho republican. She soon drew his attention lo' herself and his child, which, though ho could not speak In her, for fear of ihe reulincl, reconciled him in somo measure lo his cap tivity, and lessened Ihe burden of his woes. "My mother," says Lainarline, ,:carriod me every day in her arms lo Ihe garret window, showed motnmy father, gave me nourishment befoio him, inadu me slre'ch put my'lilllo hands Inwards the bars of his prison, then pressing my forehead lo her breast, sho al most devoured mn with ki.ves in the sight of the prisoner, nud secured thus to wafl him, mentully, nil the caresses which she lavished on me." At last she hit on the happy experiment of conveying him loiters in llio following man-n- r : She pioeured n bow and somo arrows, and lying a hitter to a thread, she shot the arrow, lo which was attached tho other end of Ihe thread, into the w indow of tho prisoner's cell. In this way she sent him pens, ink and paper. II then, by Ihe same ingenious expedient, sent love letters In her. Thus ihe separated husband and wife were enabled to correspond, lo cheer each other's hopes, and sustain each other in thejr misl'orluncs. This was all done al night-lime, when tho scrutinizing eyes of ihe sentinels remained in happy ignorance of the medium of communication. Success hav ing inspired courage. Ihe lady, with the assist ance of ihe arrow and thread, afterwards con veyed n file lo llio capiive, with which he silently filed tliiongh one of the bats of his piisnn, and then restored it lo its place. On the next evening, when there was no moonlight, a stout cord was lastcned lo the thread ami trasmiltcd to ihe prisoner. Tho thread was firmly fastened on the ono end to a beam in the garret of iho lady ; and the other end In the bars of ihe cell; then summoning up all his courage, the prisoner glided along the rope, above Ihe heads of the sentinels ; he crossed thu slieel, and found himself in Ihe arms of his wife and beside the cradle ofthis child. Such an adventure reqnired the hero's courage, and tho philosopher's caution, and none ul ihoso who were personally interested in it ran ever imagine the feelings which must have agitated their hearts! From time to time, when Ihe night was dark, the knotted cord would glide from window to window, a ml the prisoner would pass from knot to knot, and enj iy delightful hours of converse will) her whom ho loved best on earth. moM v.vsm.r.TO?(.

The past history of Ihe families of Louis iSapoleou and llie Sullan of Turkey is full of interesting and marvelous incidents, some of which are probably not generally known to our readers. These two monarchs, now to cordially united in me struggle lo maintain ihe inleg rity of the Ottoman Empire, are bolh grand sons of American ladies. These ladies were born in Ihe same neighborhood, on the is land of Martiniqne, ono of Iho West Indies. They were of French origin, and companions and intimate friends in childhood and youth. They were Josephine do Taschcr and a Miss S The history of Josephine is generally known. She went to Fianco and was mar ried to M. do Bcaiiharnais, by whom she had one son, Eugene, and a daughter, Ilorleuse. Some timo after the death of Buauhnrnais, Josephine was manicd lo Napuleon Bona parte, and became F.rnpress of France. Her daughter Ilorleuse, was married lo Louis Bonaparte, then King of Holland, and the piesent Emperor of France is hereon by that marriage. MissS. quilled the Island of Martinique somo timo before her friend. But the vessel that was carrying her lo Franco was attack ed and taken by the Algeriue Corsairs, and tho crew and passengers mado prisoners. But this Corsair ship was, in tern,a attacked and pillaged by Tunis pirates, and Miss S. was carried by ihem lo Constantinople, and offered for sale ns a slave. Her extiaordina ry beauty and accomplishments found her a purchaser in Ihe Sultan himself; and she soon became the chief lady in his seraglio and Sultaness of Tuikey. Mahrnoud II. was her son; and Ihe present Sullan, Abdul Medjid, is the son of Mahrnoud. Thus, Ihe two sovereigns who occupy so large a space in Ihe world's eye. are grand sons of two American Creole girls, who wero play mates in Iheir youth, nud were as re. markable fur their beauty and excellent dis positions, as for their varied and singular for tunes. Both theso women in the height of their power, remembureJ all their friends of Iheir youth, and piovided munificently for Ibcir welfaie. Many of the relative of the Sul taness left the Island of Mailiuque, and set lied at Constantinople, where iheir deceit dants stili reside, and enjoy iho furors of the Sullan. She Sullanesa died in (till, the Kinpress Jjsepheue in 1811, and Iboir grandsons uow into over lwi wiJe and poweilul empire, and aie entering, a fiicmU and allies uprni on uf Ih 11101 piemen'oii and sanguinary struggle in which F.uiupo wascvei involved.

Aiinnugn your husband may neglect 10 givo yon a good dross, do not seek revenge by giving him a good dressing. Do nol hesitate between the choice of an expensive mantle and your husband's affec tion : the former mny be dear to your back, but the latter should be dearer to your bo som. Should your husband bring a friend home to partake of yesterday's beef, do nol bo churlish, but lei a warm smile scasen the cold repast. 1 refer country rambles to town lounges!; the colors of the rose are brighter than the hues of silk, and Ihe dew-drops outshine thu jewellers' gems. Never deny your husband the pleasure of smoking; ihe cigar by the (beside is the do mestic calumet of peace. Be careful in brewinc 'ihn ctm which cheers, but not inebriates;" strong lea is bet- ier man weak arguments. The hand which was pledged at the alter is not disgraced in sewing on n billion ; ami remember as you sew, so shall you reap. IIF.NTON ON I'OI.ITK At. f l.KrtOYMAV. The venerable Senator from Missonti, in his late speech in the House on the Nebras. ka Bill, gave ntleiance to the following, in reference to those clergymen who have pio tesled against the e.ilention of slavery in the new Territory : "Slavery never ceased anywhere on a prin ciplo of religion; the religion of all nation consecrates it. Its abolition cannot be enfor ced among christians on that ground, without reproaching the founder of their religion. Many who think themselves christians are now engaged in preaching against slavery ; bul Ihey had belter ascertain whether they had fulfilled the precepts of Christ, before they assume a moral superiority over him and undertake lo do what he did nol. To the politicians who are engaged in Ihe same occupation it is needless to give Ihe tiko ad monition. They have Iheir views and the success of these would be poorly promoted by following ihe precepts of ihe Gospel. Their kingdom is ofthis world, and to reach il they will do iho thing they ought not, and leave undone things which Ihey ought to do. Slavery will ceaso, in the course of somo generations, in several of Ihe Slates where il now exists, and cease upon the same princi ples on which it has disappeared elsewhere. INCONSISTENCIES.
