LOUIS 11POLEON. Prince Charles Louis Napoleon, the third son of Louis Bonaparte, King of awl of Queen I lortense, was born at Paris, the _oth of April, 1 SOS. lie was the first prince born under the imperial regime, and his birth was announced by salutes of artilkry throughout the vast extent of the Empire, from !Limburg to Rome, from the in the It :11)11 1w. franca W 215 then at the height of its granduer and pros perity. The genius of the Emperor Na ]c does re- , rgelliZi`4l Europe, and ender the ‘l,lll`,ile hope that his power would he in inheriied, he greeted with joy, an event wit; 1: promised to bear down his nom; to posterity. Ile had not, as yet, thought of a divorce from the Empress Josephine.— The Prince Louis was inscribed in the Fam ily Register .f the imperial dynasty, with all the pomp of a consecration. Ile was baptized on the 4th of November, 1`;111, at the Palace of Eoirtainbleau, by Cardinal Feseh, being held at the fount by the Em peror and Empress Marie Louise. Ilia mother gave to his education a grave and severe turn, and most happily for him, whose life has pnwed so full of strange vi cissitudes, whose dynasty exhibited revers es of fortune, that seem railer belonging to romance than sober history. The In law was a special favorite with his uncle, who watched his infancy, with the greatest in terest. Althomrh absorbed by the affairs of the Empire. Napoleon gave great atten tion to the mental and physical progress of the young Prince, and this solicitude was not diminished by. the birth of the king of Route. lie loaded him with caresses, and in the transports of tenderness, presented him to the people from his window in the Tuillerics, as if to make hint the adopted child of the nation. But a sudden change destroyed all these illusions. The entpim fell ; the Emperor became an exile, and his family dispersed itself in the foreign lands. At the age of seven, Louis Napoleon (pitted Frame with his mother, for a modest retreat in Switz erland, at the village of Ayanburg, on the shores of Lake Constance, where, under the guidance of maternal instruction, his character developed itself under the most favorable circumstances. his body was for tified by gymnastic exercises, and his mind Nourished with solid instrueticm. Having obtained the right of Swiss citizenship, he was admitted to the camp at Thun, where ho essayed to become a soldier, by taking part in the exercises, and going through all the manceuvers. The art of artillery, however, was most congenial to his instincts, and to this essential part of war, he applied himself with the most assiduous study. 'While at Thun, he received the news of the Revolution of July, 1880. This awak ened in his mind the dreams of glory. Ile changed tic quiet exile, to become a con spirator, and with his brother headed the Italian surgents, in Romagna, who thought that the hour for ddlivemnce from the yoke of Austria, had arrived. Behold him now loading an undisciplined band of ,*depon ,dants, crying Vivi is Liberia , against Rome. Dispersed by the first encounter with the Austrians, he escaped death only to witness the last agonies of his brother, who was suddenly attacked with a mortal mal ady, and expired in his arms. Exhausted yeltlt sufferings and fatigues, dejected by try ellod by the Borman police, menac ed with danger* on all aides, he was saved by hit ootirapous mother. Queen Hor totn4, OttAtling tho report that he fled to 6 ,04 44014 Of folfuleoor an Eng lish passport, she traversed with him a great part of Italy. Not without great risk and daring, to brave the proscription that iuterdieted France to them, she ventured to enter Paris, and announced to Louis Philippe her arrival with the Prince. He was in the midst of an access of fever, and covered with leeches, when the imperious summons came for both to quit Paris and France instantly. The two proscribed took the road to London. His st 4 in England was improved for his instruction by an at tentive study of the institutions and gov ernment of that country. Returning to Switzerland in 1831, he refused to enter into the Revolutionary projects proposed to him by agents from Poland and Italy. The death of the son of Napoleon in 1832, made him the Eniperors's heir, and he was subjected to solicitations from insur gents on one side, and to espionage of the French Government on the other, but oc cupying himself with study, he published, in 18:33, a phamplet entitled, "Considera tions l'olitical and Military on Switzer land!' In 1834 he was named Captain of Artillery, at Berne, thus commencing like his uncle, in the artillery, with the title of Captain, and in a Republic. The next grand act of his checkered life was his enterprise against Strasbourg—a most rash and unfortunate affair. Ile hop ed by a sudden move to incite an insurrec tion in connection with a few officers, who had reaped glory under his uncle's banner, and through the sympathy of the French nation for his name and the souvenirs it inspired, to be proclaimed Emperor.— Although fortified with two most magnilo quent proclmation , t, one to the people and the other to the soldiers, and urged on by art enthusiasm almost superhuman, hefail ed most signally in this more than quixotic attempt. His mother again became his protector, and obtained front Louis Phil ippe a pardon, on condition that lie shoulil reside in Anteriea.' He sailed for Philadel phia in the .Indromcda. Some months after, the Prince received at New York the sad n2ws of his mother's sickness. Re tanning to Switzerland, he saw her expire the ith of RI. , 1837. The French Gov ernmet.t demanded that he should leave Sw itierland. The Swiss offered to protect him, but he departed voluntarily for Lon don, where he published a phamplet caddied "I :( ;Is in WLich he re-prodne ed all the grand imperial thoughts that so tormented his brain. Still convinced that France was unhap py without him, he conspired once more to place himself at its head by violence. The es ped it ion against Boulogne was eoneeived ; a more foolhardy attempt than the one a gainst Strasbourg. With a few devoted friends, he landed from a hark at the point of day, marched against the garrison, fail ed completely, was taken prisoner, trans ported to Paris, and condemned to perpet ual imprisonment in the dungeons at Ilan I What a reverse'. Yet he did not complain. It was his destiny, to which he was obedient. 'FO probe France with the sword of Na poleon, with the hope of finding within all those wishes and longings for a return of Bonapartism and the regime of the Em pire, was his ruling passion. Writing to a friend from 11am, he says : In the meantime. I do not desire to leave this place, for here I am in my place ; with the name that I bear, it is necessary that I should be in the shade of the dungeon, or in the light of power." This light from the depth of his dungeon gives an insight into his whole character. An irresistible impulse always possessed his mind, that his fume was destined to rule France, and that his presence only was necessary as a spark to determine the explosion of the latent Bonapartism. A piece of good fortune enabled him to escape the "shade," after languishing in it for six months. Profiting by a moment when a great number of workmen happen ed to be employed about the nrison, he found means of disguising in Se t dress of an ouvrier, and, putting a plank on his back, he passed the guard without being recognized. Once more ho landed in Eng land. The sudden revolution of 1848 reti tiered his return to his native land safe.— By acaprice of fickle Fortune, ho was chos en President-of the new Republique. The "light of power" shone upon and around him, opening to his ardent gaze along pro spective of glory. Three years' possession of power sufficed to convince him that nat ional sovoreignity, under the restrictions imposed by legislative representation, and resting on a basis forbidding all hope of Legitimacy, was, not capable of administer ing to the cravings of his soul. He out the Gordian knot by substituting the sovereign-. itY of force for the severeignity of right, and that in less than two months after he in his Message renewed in the most formal manner his oath to the Ccinstitution, and condemned the very idea of Usurpation.— The coup &slat of the 2d of December has ethibited a new phase in this strange char-, eater, when "manifest destiny" seems now about to be accomplished.

At her head is a man of inflexible will im passible to the most delicate sensations of the soul, incapable of any mere poetical transports, or sentimentalism. lie com prehends neither art, neither poetry ; he has a passion neither for rythm, neither fur harmony ; he is neither impressed by nature, nor the noble creatures of genius. His heart is the vassal of his head. He calcu lates all things, even his enthusiasm. His emotions, impressions, intelligence, are all measured as with a compass, and weighed with a balance. The maxim of Mach iavel, that observer of the human heart, "It. is better to do roil than to do nothing," is oie that he often repeated, and seems to have produced a deep impression on him. His heart, severely tried by adversity, is iron, about to undergo the fiery ordeal of prosperity, and the world can judge for its self, and approve or condemn the sen ti ment by which he is inspired. IMMENSENESS OF TILE CREATIoN.—Ahntit the time of the invention of the telescope. another instrument was formed, which laid open a scene no less wonderful, and re , warded the inquisitive spirit of man.— This was the microscope. The one led me to see a system in every star, the oth er leads me to see a world in every atom. The one taught me that this mighty globe, with the whole burden of its people and its countries, is but a grain of sand on the high field of immensity ; the other teaches me that every grain of sand may harbor within it the tribes and families of a !may population. The one told me of the in significancy of the world I tread upon. The other redeems it from all insignitican-, cy ; for it tells me that itt the leaves of ev-; cry forest. and in the flowers of every tor den, and in the waters of every rivulet,' there are worlds teeming with life and ' numberless as the glories of the firminent. The one has s4gested to me, that beyond: and above all that is visible to man, there may be fields of creation whiqh sweep im measurably along, and carry the impress of the Almighty's hand to the remotest! scenes of the universe ; t:te other suggests to me that within and beyond all that mi nuteness which the unaided eye of man has been able to explore, there may be a region of itivisibles ; and that could we draw aside the mysterious curtain which shrouds it from our senses, we•might see, a theatre of as many wonders as astrono mers have unfolded, a universe within the compass of a point so small as chides all' the powers of the microscope, but where' the wonder working God finds room for all his attributes, where he can raise anoth er mechanism of worlds, and fill and ani mate the evidence of his glory.—Otai uteri. Sias STortv.--During the great Miller excitement, when people got more zeal than common sense into their heads, and were ready at all times to seize upon the smallest mite and magnify it to a mountain, or something larger, an old lady came into Boston from the country, to see the winding up of all things terres trial. Being brim-full of religious zeal, she could see no good in anything hut Millerism, and as she, in company with another lady, was talking about the con flagration of this wicked world, she ex claimed in as loud, unearthly a lone as a ny mortal could wish to hear--" Oh. Lord! What are we all coming to ? Only look over on that 'ere sign where it says—Per ishing souls and unbelievers made and re paired here." The sign read thus: Par asols and umbrellas made and repaired here. Nothing could induce the old lady to remain longer in a city so given to Sa tan, and, shaking the dust from her old shoes, she "out" for the country as fast as the .'old gray mare" would carry her.

Esq.;--Dear Sir:—lt has occurred tome that a great deal ofgood could be eflected if the fact is (as I hope it is) that Bone dust, when genuine and properly prepared, is, in the end, a cheap er manure (and as efficient when applied in comparatively increased quantities, as to its permanency,) than Peruvi an Guano. In this important view of the case, it must he borne in mind that fully tl6 per cent. of the cost of Guano goes forever out of the United States—while every dollar expended for Ashes, Lime. Bonedust and Plaster, remains among our own people- ; and the preparation of these articles, if the people could be induced tosubstitute them for Guano, would give employment to thousands. Guano's great value co t oists in the fact, that manure for so much land can he transported any distance at so lit tle expense. ' Give the subject of Bone-dust some a:• tention and let it. be more brought bun nonce—at 75 cents per bushel, well pow. tiered, I consider it cheaper than Peru. vian Guano at €.47 per ton of 2000 lbs., which is the price here.

These two portions of the bone, the combustible or organic, and the incombustible or inorganic part, are equally essential to the fertilizing ac tion, which the bones produce. As some inexperienred writers have disputed this in regard to the organic part, it will be proper briefly to advert to its composition and mode of action.

It is im portant to reeolieet that it @tintails about IS per cent., or one-sixth of its weight of nitro cu. That this organic part is likely to act beneficially as manure, is rendered proba ble by the fact, that horn shavings are , highly valued as an application to the land, and that the parings of itides and woolen rags bring a high price in the market as manures .for certain crops. But that it does net btmeficially, is proved by the success which attends its use. when separated from the entity part of the bones. In Manchester, bones are boiled for the extraction of a size, (glue) which is used in the stiffening of calicoes. When the stiffening liquor is so exhausted as to be unfit for further use, it has been applied as a liquid inanureei grass-lands, with the greatest success. There can be no reasonable question theri upon the or ganic part of bones, their beneficial action as a manure in some degree depends. l is only eurprisinithat chefnists of name should have been found to deny it, and that practical men should have so far dis trusted their own experience as to have believed and acted upon suck an opinion. But bow does the organfc matter act 2 It no doubt feeds the plant. art it may do a l l this in one or two ways. It may either be completely ,deocimposed in the soil, and enter the roots of plants— Liebig sup poses all organic ndurishment to enter— in the form of carbonic acitlind amtnonia ; or it may be rendered soluble in the soil. and may be taken up by the roots, without undergoing any ultimate and thorough de composition. i f Now, supposing it to be r esolved into carbonic acid and ammonia the quantity of gelatine contained in 1 o,lbs: of dry b l i bones sufficient to produ e upwards of 6; lbs. of ammonia. u mug u isipresent in 20 lbs. of Bal-sationiae, in 80 lbs. of orystalized sulphate of 11031 onia: hop poring the animal matter o the banes to be decomposed in the soil ore it can be useful to the plant , few I th k. will quell tion that the quantity of a amnia it ,"is likely AO poilluee.would maleililly,eitl this' growth of the crops to which the bones were applied. But I do not think this final decomposi tion necessary. The large quantity of ni trogen which the gelatine contains, may, believe, be taken uplby the plants without being previously brought into the state of ammonia. The gelatine, being rendered soluble in the soil, may enter the roots:and may at once minister to the growth of the plant. just as the gluten of the seed, being , rendered soluble when the grain germi.l mites, ascends with the sap, and feeds the ,young plant. It would be out of place here to discuss this point ; or to give the reasons which induce me to entertain this opinion. It is sufficient for the practical man to know, that whichever off. these views a man may hold, he must still grant that the gelatine of the bone is valuable to the farmer. Whether its nitrogen enter into the root in the form of ammonia, or in some compounded state, it must be use ' ful to the plant ; and, therefore, he who ad vises the farmer to burn his bones, or would persuade hint that the earthy part alone, or anything equivalent to this earthy part,' would alone be as useful to his land as the entire bone, advises hint to his hurl, bud would persuade him that which would eventually be a source of loss." —[Extract from Prof. Johnston's Essay on the use of Bones. It is obvious from the whole tenor of the reasoning of the above, that the el pro le—the animal part of bones—is of vast importance—that fresh bones are infinite ly more serviceable- titan those that -may have been either burnt or boiled. The burning„ destroying all the animal .matter, is more injurious than the boiling process, as a portion of the organic part is still left alter the latter. To farmers, then, we say,' save all the hones from meats and flak consumed on your farms, as every 4 bush els so saved, will he equal, in their fertiliz jog virtues, to '2OO lbs. of guano, if dissolv ed in sulphuric acid. - We had prepared the above some months previous to the receipt of the in teresting rommunication of our esteemed friend which precedes it, but owing to press of matter, have tint been able to get it in. Ins letter has acted to recall it to our mind. and we give it a place this month. Upon the value of bones as a manure, we have written much, and published much from the pens of others, and shall continue to do so, as we look upon fmne-earth, made front fresh hones, that is, bones that have neither been boiled or burned, as among 04 richest and most durable of all animal manures. According to the calculation of Pityco and Bouissingaith, 64 lbs, of bones contains av much nitrogen as 1000 Its. of farm-yard manure. Thigvfact goes at once to place a value upon bones which cannot well be over estimated, for there is no sub stance which forma a more important ele ment than dues nitrogen in the economy of vegetable and animal life and growth. —.thnerican Farmer.

BY EI.IZA A. CITASE Though every scholar was busily en gaged in study, scarcely heeding the Sweet ly whimpering breeze, that, laden with o dors from new-mown meadows and pleas ant gardens, tried to lure the footsteps to green fields and,shatly bowers, it was evi dent that a deep grief was preying upon the mind of the teacher of the village school. Ever and anon. as enme ,flaxew haired, rosy-cheeked, little girl asketl for a trifling favor or assistance in pronouncing the difficult words in her - spelling lesson. the tears wonli start to the teacher's eyes, and a low, half-stifled ,sigh escape her lips.— Then many a bright eye would be raised from book or slate, and an inquiring glance rest for a moment on her face, and again as quietly return to the lesson. At length a class of chubby, liitlec-Cea tures, dais or eight years of age, took its place, and, as they formed themselves in a line, and left the place next to the head vacant, a quick convulsive sub burst from the teacher's bosom, and leaning her head on her hand, the tears trickled through her fingers for some time. The vacant place ! It is eloquent of grief and never dying affection ; it has a chapter of bitter sorrow, and holy trust; it is a pleader for the pure and good, for it calla the tlioughts from earth to the "ma ny mansions" that are prepared in our -Father's house :" and who can look upon it without feeling emotions ihai send the warm leer to the eye, and recall 4118 mem• ory of a sorrowful hour, for alas ! `..l'here is no household hovisoe'er defended, But bulb one vacant chair." Yes, and in that little school there was a vacant place, for Lula Morris—the dar ling of the teacher—the favorite of the scholars—Was not there. That very morning her shining tresses had been smoothed, and her delicate limbs straitened for the tomb. Aye, with her own hand bad Miss Brady presi t eit the fringed lids over the blue eyes that never more might gaze in hers; and folded the little hands on the still bosom that had beaten only with joy and love. Gentle, loving, little Lula! Who would conic now, with stealing, noiseless step, in the bright summer morning, and bring her wreath of wild•wood flowers, or the sweet, half-opened moss-rose ? And who, at night, would lay her-soft, round cheek against hers, and ask, "I have not made you sad to-day, have I, Miss Brady I" No wonderikat the poor teacher's heart was sad, and Willi) quivered, fur the toil of the school-room, that toil which money can not requite, had been lightened by the loving obedience of the sweet, little girl.— No matter how great her fatigue, or how cheerless her task might he, the sight of that goldened-haired child, with her large. dreamy eyes, and spiritual look, would bring a smile to the lip, and a warmth to the heart of the kind teacher. Thank [leaven for the mission of Tile children ! I marvel not that the Great Teacher has said, "of 'such is the kingdom of heaven." And so, day after day, Lula Morris had woven herself into the affections of Miss Brady, till she looked with feverish imps• tierce for the light putter of those little f ee t upon the threshold. and the silvery laugh and glad "Good morning" that were so welcome to her ear. But one bright,June morning, she look ed in vain ; and they told her Lula was hick. That was a Nutl day, end a long one. too. and with a hurried parting to het other pupils. Miss Brady hastened to the bedside oldie sick child. Alas for earthly hive ! It unfolds to meet the blight of disappointment or the frost of death ; but there is a better clime where it flourishes immortal bloom. The unnatural brightness of the eye ; the deep flush of the check, and the mut tered, incoherent sentences, told of the sorrow that was brooding near.
