ANECDOTE 'Or NAPOLEON. Durhig one - or • the campaign in Ger , many, the Emperor, in his celebrated grey great eoat, was riding about in the envi rons of Munich, attended only by orderly officers. He nu on the road a very pretr ty female,. who, by bee &visa was evident ly a• 1 vivandiere,' She was weeping and leading by the hand a little boy about five years of age. Struck by the beauty of woman, and her distress, the emperor pul led up his home, by the road side, and said : “What is the matter with you, my dear t” The woman, not knowing the individ ual by whom she was addressed, and be , ing muctf discomposed by grief, made no reply. The little boy, however, was more communicative, and he frankly answered : "My mother is crying, sir, because my ether has beat her. " "Where is your father I" "Close by here. He is one of the sen tinels on duty with the baggage." 'rbe Emperor again addressed himself to the y omen, and inquired the name of her hUsband ; but she refused to tell, be ing afraid lest the Captain, as she suppos ed tho Emperor to be, would cause her husband to be punished. Napoleon, lam sorry to say, had but little confidence in the fair sex. On this occasion his habit ual suspicions returned to his mind, and be said "Malpeste ! your husband has been beating you; you are weeping, and yet you are afraid of getting him into trouble, that you will not even tell me his name.— This is very inconsistent. May it not be. that you are a little in the fault yourself?" "Alas, Captain be has a thousand good qualities, though he has one very bad one : he is jealous, terribly jealous, and when he gets into a passion, cannot restrain his violence." "Itut that is rather serious ; in one of his fits of jealousy Ito may inflict on you some very severe injury perhaps kill you. "And even if ho did, I should not wish any harm to come to him, for I am sure he would not do it willingly. Ile loves me tno well for that." "And if I guess rightly, you love him." "That is very natural, Captain': ireis my lawful husband, and the father of my dear boy." So saying, she fondly kissed her child, who, by the way he returned her caresses, proved hie affection for his mother. Na poleon was moved by this touching picture in spite of the heart of iron, of marble or of adamant, which has so often been allot ted to him. "Well," said he again, turning to the woman, "whether you and your husand love each other or not, I do not choose that he should beat von—l am—l am one of the Emperor's aides-do-camp, and I will mention the affair to his Majesty—tell me your husband's name." Mlt you were the Emperor himself, I would not tell you, for I know he would be punished." "Silly woman ! all I want is to teach him to behave well to you, and treat you with the respect you deserve." "That would make me very happy. Captain, but though he ill treats me, I will not get him punished." The Emperor shrugged up his shoulders, made some•remark upon female obstinacy, and galloped off. When he was out of the woman's hear ing, be said to tho of fi cers who accompan ied him : "Well, gentlemen, what do you think of that affectionate creature ? There are not many such women at the Tuilleries. A wife like that is 'a treasure to her husband." In the course of a few minutes the bag gage of which the boy had spoken, came up. It was escorted by a company of the Fifty-Second. Napoleon despatched one of the officers who was riding with him, to desire the commander of the escort to come to him. "Have you a vivandiere in your compa ny?" "Yes, Hire," replied the Captain. "Hu she not a child 1" "Yes, little Genii', whom we are all so fond of." “Has not this woman been beat by her husband r .4 was not aware of the circumstance till some time alter the occurenee. I have reprimanded the man.” 4. 1 s he generally well conducted ?" "He it the best behaved man in compa ny. He is very jealous of his will:, but without reason. The wOman't conduct is irreproachable." "Does he know me by sight?" *if cannot say, Sire—but as he has jest artivisl from Spain, I think it is probable he does.not." “Try and ascertain whether he has ever seen me, and iftte has dot, firing hiin hith• or. Say you wish to conduct him before the General of the division.” On 'inquiry, it appeared' that Napoleon had never been seen - by thigrenadier, who was a very fine looking Man of about and-twenty. 'When he was conducted - to Napoleon, the latter said in a familiar tone : "What is the reason, my lad,'that yen beat your wife I She is a young and pret ty woman, and a better wife than you are a husband. Such conduct is disgraceful in a French grenadier." "Bah, General ! if woman are to be be lieved, they are never in the wrong. I have forbidden lay wife to talk to any man whatever ; and yet in spite of my coin manila, I find her constantly gossiping with ono or other of my comrades." "Now, there is your mistake. You want to prevent a woman from talking— you might as well try to turn the course of the Danube, Take my advice ;do not be jealous. Let your wife gossip and be merry. if she were doing wrong, it is likely she would be sad instead of gay.— Your comrades aro not absolutely. awn chins, but I am much mistaken if they will not respect another man's wife. I desire that you do not strike your wife again ; and, if my order be not obeyed, the Em , peror shall hear of it. Suppoie his Ma- GE'I'IISBUIIG, PA.

I should say to the Emperor : Sire, you look to the enemy, and leave me to manage my wife." • Napoleon laughed, sad said, "MY od fellow•you are now ,speaking 10 tha t Palm" .• • • The UM produced its usual magical 111 1 , W. The grenadier looked confused, held down his head, lowered his voice, sad said : "flit, Sire I that quite alters the case.— Since your Majesty commands,' of course obey." "That's right. I bear an excellent char acter of your wife. Every body speaks well of her.. She braved my displeasure rather than expose you to punishment.— Reward her. by kind treatment. I pro mote you to the rank of migrant, and when you arrive at Munich, apply to the Grand Marechal Palais, and he will present you with four hundred franca. With that you may bye a sutler's caravan. which will enable your wife to carry on a pro fitable business. Your son is a fine boy, and at some future time he shall be provi ded for. But mind, never let me hear of your beating Your wife again. If- I do, you shall find that I can deal hard blows as well as you." "Ah, Sire! I. can never be sufficiently grateful for your kindness." Two or three times after this circum stance, the Emperor was with the army in another campaign. Napoleon, you know, had a wonderful power of recollect ing the countenances of persona whom lie vince-seen. On one of his marches lie met and recognized the vivandiere and her son. He immediately rode up to her saying : "Well, my good woman, how do you dot Has your husband kept the promise he made to me ?" , The poor woman. burst into tears, and threw herself at the Emperor's feet. "Oh, Sire I Oh, Sire l Since my good star led me into the gracious presence of your Majesty, khave been the happiest of women. _ . "Then reward rue by being the mos virtuous of wives." A few--pieces of gold were . presented ' . iiiifi — these words ; and, as Napoleon rode off, the cries of vivo l'Emperoar, uttered amidst tears and sobs, by the mother and her son, were enthusiastically repeated by the whole battalion. A SPLENDID DMICRIPTION One Pant Dentoh, a Methodist preach er in Texas, advertised a barbecue, with better liquor than is usually nirntshed.- When the people were assembled, a des perado in the crowd cried out, 4•Mr. Paul Denton t , your reverence has lied. You promised us not only a good barbecue but better liquor. Where is the liquor ?" "There!" answered the missionary, in tones of thunder, and pointing his motion less finger at the matchless double spring, gushing up in two strong columns, with a sound like a shout of joy from the bosom of the earth. "There I" he repeated, with a look ter rible as the lighning, while his e*emy ac tually trembled at his feet; there is. the liquor which God, the Eternal, brews fur all his children ! Not in the simmering still. over smoky fires, choked with :poisonous gasses, and surrounded with the stench of sickenini odors and rank corruptions, dotil your Father in Heave prepare the precious es. I sence of life..the pore cold water. But in the green glade and grimy dell, where the {rod deer wanders, and the. child loves to play, there God brews it; and down, low down in the deepest sallies, where' the fountain murmurs and the rills sing; and high upon the tall mountain tops, where Unyoked granite glitters like gold in the MUG where the storm cloud broods, and the thunder storms crash, and away far out on the wide wild sea,where the hur ricane howls music, an the Ada_ waves roar the chorus. sweeping the marsh of God.—there he brews it, that beverage of life, health-given water. And everywhere it is a thing of beauty gleaming in the dew drop ; rinsing in the swum; r rain ; , shining in the ice gem. till the trees all seemed turned milling jewels, spreading a golden veil over the settin sun, or a white gauze around the midnight moon: sporting in the cataract ; sleeping in the glacier; dancing in the hail shower: folding its bright snow curtains softly about the wintery world ; and.weaving the many.. colored iris, that seraph's zone of the sky, whose harp is in the rain drop of earth.• whose woof is the sunbeam of heaven, all checked over with celestial flowers, by the mystic hand ofrefraction.
