The moon—the moon. en silver and cold ;
Her fickle temper has oft been told :
Now shady, now bright and sunny ;
But of all the lunar things that change,
The one that shows most fickle and change,
And takes the most eccentric range,
Is the moon, so called, of honey.
To some, a full grown orb revealed,
As big and round asi Norval's shield,
And as bright as a burner Bade lighted ;
To others, RI doll and tiingy and damp
As any oleaginous lamp
Ole regular old parochial stamp
In • London fog benighted.
To the loving, a bright and constant sphere
That make* earth's commonest scenes appear
All poetic, romantic and tender ;
Hanging with jewels a cabham.-stump.
And investing a entnmon post or n pump,
A currant hush or a goosheiry.stuntp,
NV ith a halo of dreallblike splendor;
A sphere such Mt shown from Italian skies,
In Juliet's dear, dark, liquid @yea.
'ripping trees with its ardent braveries ;
And to couples not favored with fortune's boons,
One of the most delightful of moons—
For it brightens their pewter platters and spoons
Like a silver service of Savory's.
For all is bright, and la . eautcous.Gand clear,
And the meanest thing most precious and dear,
When the magic of love is present—
Love that lends! sweetness and grace
To the humblest spot and the plainest face—

And makes a peer of a peasant] ;

And makes contentment and joy agree

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

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.

man, and resolve the problem whether
France is capable of resigning herself quiet,
ly to the delusions of absolute power, or
whether she is destined to be subjected to
a repetition of those scenes of violence and
disorder, that have so often convulsed her
to the very centre, and rendered her almost
a bye-word among the nations of the earth.
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-;

there are worlds teeming with life and '
numberless as the glories of the firminent.

and above all that is visible to man, there
may be fields of creation whiqh sweep im
measurably along, and carry the impress

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

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.
Matrimony N• Single Blessedness
Some one who has evidently passq
from darkness to light, enumerates the
woes of single blessedness and the joys
of matrimony, as follows:

doctor once met at a convivial party, sever
al larks who were bent on placing in his
hat a very heavy brick, or, in plain lan
guage, to make him gloriously drunk,
which they accomplished about 10 o'clock
at night. The poor doctor insisted upon
going, and the party accompanied him to
the stable, to assist him to mount - his horse,
which they at length did, with his face to
the animal's. tail.
"Hallo," said the doctor, after feeling
for the reins."l am inside out on my horse,,

"So you are," ,exclaimed one of the
wags, "just get off, doctor, and we will put
you on right."
"Get off I" hiccupped the doctor, "no,
'you don't, Just turn the horse ,aroutul,
and it will all come right—you must all

Importance of Bones as Manure.
PETERSBURG, Oel. 29, 1851.
&mum, SANDS. 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

the merchants would put off buying until

not want to hold Guano over from one

When bones are burned in the open

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 identical in composition with horn
and with isinglass, and is very nearly the
same as hair, wool and skin. 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.

TIM MINT PUCE.
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. But in
the interval of delirium she pressed, her
burning lips to her teacher's and murmur
ed, "Dear Miss Brady./ could not come
to school to-day, and I loved you so
much."
Another day passed and the dark wing
of the Angel of Death cast its shadow on
the little child. "Take one to the door,"
she whispered, faintly, "Lake me to the
maples, that I may feel the:n fan my brow,
and see their green leaves again."
And they carried her out in the pleasant
shade, and with her hands clasped in her
teacher's she lay in her mother's arms,
listening to the sweet, evening song of the
birds, and the low ripple piths little stream,
whose tiny waves had often plashed be
' neath her footsteps.
A light shower had fallen, tears for the
sorrow so soon to come ; and, through the
purple clouds that still hung on the western
sky, the golden rays of the setting sun
streamed forth and lit, as with a radiance
Irom heaven, the brow of the dying child.
The burning flush of the face gave phase
in the ashy hue, of death, and the white
lipe parted with the song she was wont to
sing at sunset. Fainter and fainter brew
the tones, till e l elight quivering of the lips
was all that told of life. Witlf breaking
thatthey laid her on her low bed, andall
that Sweet,. balmy summer- night they
watched the faint, flickering of the limp
of lile that was noon to be relighted at the
Fount of Instnortality.
Morning shone brightly over earth, and,
with a sweat smile on her , liper,' and a soft.

Morris passed away. The' sorrowing
teacher finished her painful duties for the
day, and .tearfully told her pupils 'that the
morrow would sewthem all wither with
the sleeping one. .
