sibyl:
One evening in December, in (he memorable'
jear of 1' 72, in a cafe, in the Rue Montholon,
seateS a mixed party discussing tlpe events
of the present time, and..speculating on those
of tho fiitfire. The greater part were, citizens,.
while the lesser, from their costumes, appeared ■
to belong to the profession. The laugh',
and gibe occasionally broke forth, hut their
conversation was more that of seriousness \
than mir.h. Apart from the company, in a
corner of the room, stood a young soldier, with
his back against the wall and his arms folded
upon hiS breast. He appeared to be com
pletely bLried in thought, and regardless of I
every object around him. His features were i
beautifully modelled, inclining almost to femi
nine' delicacy, and his hair of a rich glossy
brown, fall in flowing ringlets down his back.
His stature w(is that.of the middle size, with a
person correctly formed altogether presenting,
in form gnd feature, a study for' the artist or
So silent, was hje that he had been
completely fnrgotteh by His associates,, and it
was onlyf whilst one of them in tossing off his
glass of tin erdibaire, in prefacing it with the
toast of t‘ Destruction to, ine Bourbons,” that
be quickly raised hie held and casting his
flash ingfevestowards the drinker, ejaculated in
a short [quick tone —" Monsieur!”
that his presence was remembered, and hailed
with shouts of welcome. I
“ Ah, Li 1 Monsieur Bonaparte; are you still
there?” jeried'one of them;; “we thought you
had gouts to keep the mice company in the
garret.'’| ,
“ Or tq&he Oileon to take lessons from Talma
when ido you appear, lieutenant? we bear
that voulare. about to change the sword for the
buskin. ’l • | .
’ The ybung man surveyed the speaker with a
frown upon bis brow, arid a contemptuous cnrl
of the lib. ! - ,
“ Ko Iffencc,” continued the speaker, seeing
that tbelypung sojdier did . not receive his rib
aldry injthe best" of tempers', “ But you and
Talma he so constantly together, we thought
you had some serious designs of becoming a
■fblloweriuf Melpomene.”*'
“BatfL you are a child, Captain Benyer,.
waste vour words upon fools, they are only fit
for sucli society," said Bonaparte.
“ilal ha!” shouted Berryer, "the little
gentleinkn is angry.”
“ An| most complimei
anotherjof the party, “i
be wasted upon fools, you(
ous assemblage around
rver."
' A loi|d laugh followed ;Tiis remark, and Bo
aapartd rising took his suit at the table. A
.deep gtoom was settled on his countenance,
and beseemed, in no way disposed to join in
the merriment, but politely uncovering, he
begged) his companions n it to imagine that his
re»ark(alluded at all to tiiem. 11 But, i added
he, “lirctract not one word I have japplied to
Bcrryel.” - jj i '
In a X anstant Berryer jwas on his feet, and
the others followed his example—but Bona
parte remained coolly seated, and filling out a
glass ,01 wibe, as he look’.d a vole me of scorn
at Berriyer, quaffed off tlje liquor and quietly
replace*! the glass upon the table.
“Yop shall answer this, Lieutenant,” cried
BerryeK , ,
“ Wien, where, and how you please,” firmly
and coolly answered Bonaparte. “ Here, at
this vely moment, and on this very spot,” and
drawing his sword, be stood waiting the assault
of his Epemy.
“ N<|t here! not herij!” shouted ft doren
voicesi " This is "no p! ice to settle such an
affair.’; i - -
All places,” cried Bonaparte, are proper,
“ TGe ichurch shotild afford no safer shelter

” EionghU answercc Berryer. |“ Enough!
pray do not prevent' me,” and
break pig from them be drew his swbrd.
! A circle was in a moment formed, and the
two cqmbatants stood face to face, cool and de
termined. A profound (silence reigned in the
room.jwhioh was only broken hy the sound of
their as the comjjatants each sought for
an advantage of assault; ' .
®lt is well known, that (Talma was 'the intimate
friend M Bonaparte, on hisfirstcomingto Baris, and
so poo A then was the young •soldier,' that he, refused not
'to accept of the kindness of the tragedian in procuring'
for hit*, free,admission to the theatre, jThis was not
forgot San by Bonaparte when he had 'aacendodlhe

Opening-in the guard„of„ fcU adversary', thrust'
home, when jßnnaparte, quick as lightning dis
armed him. , Th? Sword flew, whirling Inio the'
nip, and descending, was caught by a female,
whq unseen and unhsarq,.gfidcd like .a. spectre
jntp, the circle.j , .
“ Hold!” she “ Stain" Act' 1 your,
name by a .drunken frolic. The future Em
peror, of France must war with nobler ene
mies.” i ~ , , ■
As she said this she looked like a sibyl in
the .moment, of inspiration. She might have
been about twenty-five years of age, tall and
commanding.in person—browned with the suns,
of .foreign climes. Her, eye was dark as the
raven’s and of unspeakable brightness—her
hair, which.descended in thick black ringlets
over her shoulders, was braided in front, and
her brow.encircled by a. brilliant scarlet ker
chief., ■ Her garment was a loose flowing robe,
of green, fastened at the waist by a blue scarf,
which descended nearly to the ankle ; and her
feet were encased in richly ornamented slippers
of red morocco.
The party were surprised at her appearance,
and it was some moments ere the silence was
broken. ,At last Bonaparte said—
“ Who'are you and what want you here?”
“ I .am the genius of your, fate, Napoleon.
In my hand I hold the rudder of your soul—to
good or to evil I can direct it. Forbear—seek
not to imbrue your handr in the blond of your
friend, and. saying this she dropped upon her
knee, and placing the sword of Eerryer at his
feet, cried—“ Hail, Emperor of France !”
A loud laugh burst from all around save Na
polebn,, who impressed by her sudden and sin
gular appearance as well as by her'words, stood
transfixed to the spot, gazing upon Ke*.
“Mock me not,” she replied to their de
rision. “ I speak the truth—there is not one
■of you but shall yet behold kirn the conqueror
of, the world —the Emperor of France! ' Look !
look, behind that star, how, brightly it gleams,”
:she continued, pointing to, the window through
which, in a‘ dark December sky, one bright
and Jmly star was «glo®’ng in unspeakable
brilliancy; “it is the star his glory. Lodi,
Marengo, Austerlitz—bloody will be‘your fields
to the imperial dia
dem. BeMR waxes, tt glows in ac
cordance to my words, and yet dark clftuds
seem to threaten to bedim its glory.' Ha! they

o’er its disc ? Intenpinablo' sens— a honren
rock iiis home and a ijraveTi'rd^rcytons of his
enemy,”, and uttering a loud scream,,
from the apartment.
Her mysterious speech,'had created a strange
feeling In the bosom of every one presebt,' but
more especially In that of Bonaparte, who stood
like a statue, gazing , a pan the star. At that
moment'a loud roll of drums was heard, tind
Birras, one of the directors of the p'onvention,
entered, and. addressed Bonaparte, told him
he was appointed to'the compiling of the Con
ventional troops, with full, power to act as he
deemed proper for the restoration of peace to
Paris.
“Hal bn ! ha! said I not rightly f” shouted
a female voice aft the window. All eyes were
iq an instant turned towards it, where, for’a
moment, the face of the sibyl was seen, flushed
with joy and waving her hand above her head.
“ 'Tis strange,” half aloud muttered Napo
leon. .
“ What is strange?” inquired Barras, amazed
at the apathy evinced by Napoleon on receipt
of bis good intelligence."
“Nothing, nothing Monsieur,” He. replied;
“ a strSnge femiie has been among ns, who pre
tending to the art of divination, Has'covered
me with glory and shame in the same-breath.
Behold!” “ ’ '' ~ '
At this moment a brilliant light arose from
without, illuminating the whole apartment;
but in place of the sibyl was seen a beautiful
female with an imperial diadem .encircling her
brow. In her left hand she held another, while
with her right she pointed to Bonaparte.
“Do my eyes df-eire me!” exclaimed Bar
ras. “Is this the effect of a fevered imagina
tion—or do others see as I do ?”
“It is no deception 1” shouted some dozen
voices.
“It is indeed there—approach her, Napo
leon, ’tis on you that she smiles so graciously."
He did so, but the next moment she bad dis
appeared, and nought hot darkness supplied
the place of brightness. : Loud shouts now
arose without,, and the rolling of the drum,
the report of fire-arms, told that tumult and
bloodshed were again at work in the streets of
Paris.
“ Lose not a; moment, Bonaparte,” said Bar
ras, “we shall talk of this again—may the
vision prove time. Take this sword—let it
-carve out your path to its fulfilment.”
- Bonaparte received the weapon, and bowing
assent, departed to assume his appointment,
while the others followed, wondering at and
speculating upon what they,had witnessed.
We shall now change the scene to the battle
of Lodi, that memorable event which won far
the Corsican high fame and'honor. Luring a

fell upon his arms, and alone in the old and,
princely palace,of Fnntainh(eau, in a solitary
chamber, on the eveniug of the 11th of April,

upuaHiis brow—hosuddenly p ruses—seizes the

del'in an apartment in Lnngwrod, dimly light
ed, land surrounded hr his weeping household,
Jayithe dying exile. His last moment was fast !
approaching, and reason had departed from her •
seat. His breathing was low and heavy, and
indistinct and incoherent words occasionally
broke from his lips. A furious storm was ra
ging without—vivid gleams of lightning, fol
lowed by terrific chips' of thunder, shook tjie
island to its foundation. It was a fitting hour
for the departure of him, who with his engines !
of destruction and insatiate ambition, had sha- I
ten the world to its basis. Painter and fainter I
became his breathing: the death-rattle rung l
frightfully iri his throat, and his sunken and '
glassy eyes wandered vacantly around. In-a
moment, as if‘inspired by superhuman power,"
he suddenly raised himself from bis pillow, his
eyas wandered vacantly around. In h moment, ;
as if inspired by .superhuman power, he sud-1
deni 7 raised himself from bis pillow, his eyes,
we'ye kindled with-unnatural 1 brilliancy,-and
with his thin and emaciated hand pointing to
the window of the apartment on which the
beams of lightning w?re playing, exclaimed—
“ There!”
All eyes were turned toward it, and-the form
of Uoaephine, well known to (he attendants,
was beheld smiling upon the scene.

The owner of a saw-mill in the country, hav
ing a, bitter enmity against a neighboring far*
marl laid ho less a plan of revenge than to get
him arraigned as a thief, convicted,'hnd “sent
;to the penitentiary.- But .as the honesty of his
neighbor afforded, him no fair grounds-of nccu,
satjon, be resorted to the foul expedient of se
cretly conveying some of his own property,up
on the other's premises ; so that, it being found
there, it might he priiof of his guilt.’ For thm
purpose he took a thousand of hoards, having
his own mark on, and at dead of night dumped
tbetp intpitbe fieid near his neighbor’s house.
But, the former did not happen to be .as fast
asleep as his enrmy supposed. He heard a
noise, or thought he heard one; and getting up
pretty soon after to satisfy himself on the sub
ject, 1 by the help t>f a lantern he found a load
of boards, with his neigtthor's.mark thereon.—
How they came there, flashed upon him at once.
His course was promptly t; kerb Allow big his
enemy just time to get' fairly home and- it to
hid, so that the light of the In ruing pile might
not be detected;-he set fire to the boards which
heirg.wcll seasoned, were in a few minaha en
tirely consumed.-
Early in the morning, as the farmer In d an
ticipated, the sawyer came whh a constable
and search war ant, to look for his properly.
'‘You are suspected,” said the officer, “of
having taken a thousand of boards .from this
man, and by virtue of this warrant I hold in
my hand, I must search your premises.”
“Very well/' 1 said the farmer, “you aro nt
liberty to search as much as. you please. • But
if you find the boards,-Z’iJ.engage to cat them
for my breakfast." -
1 “'You’ll have something harder to digest thha
that, I fancy," said the sawyer with a'sneer,
' lie then triumphantly led the- way to; where'
he had dumped the boards, and where. he,oon- •
fidently expected to find them, and Ip 1 there
was outbKH; Irut a heap of ashes!. ,His disapr
pointment, chagrin and mortification qiay be
judged o'f. He sneaked away borne ; and'the
secret of his foul plot getting wind in the neigh

of boards never ceased to annoy him,;, until, ta
