Icon end his Marshals"—a brilliant account of
the burning of lli_oscowi which is well spoken
of in the American Whig Review, as superior
even to Croly's picture in "Salathiel," 'of the
conflagration of Rome.. Headley's descriptive
powers have rarely, if ever; been surpassed:
"At length, Moscow, with its domes and
towers and palaces, appeared in:sight,- and No,

gazed hing and thoughtfully on that goal of his
wishes. Murat went forward and'eutered the
gates-with his splendid cavalry, but as he pass
ed thrqugh the streets ho was 84:tick-with the
solitude that surrounded, him. Nothing was
hoard but the heavy tramp of his squadron as
ha passed along, for a deserted andabandoned

no sleep to Mortier's eyes. Not the gorgeous
andzvariegated__palaces_ and_their rich'-orna
ments, nor the parks and giAens and oriental
magnificence that every where surrounded him'
kept him wakeful ; but the ominous foreboding
that some dire calamity was hanging over the
silent capital. When he entered it, scarce a
living soul net his gaze a%he Joked down the
long streets; and, when he broke open the
buildings,• he found parlors, and bed-rooms,
and chambers, all furnished and in order; but
no occupants. The sudden abandonment of
their home betokened some seerot purpose yet
to be fulfilled. The midnight moon was sail
ing over the city when the cry of " fire I"
reached the ears of Mortier;—and tho first
light over Napoleon's falling empire was kin
dled, and that-most wondrous scene of modern
tfines commenced—the burping of Moicow.
"MOrtier, no governor of the city, immedi
ately issued his his orders, and was putting
forth every exertion, when at day-light Napo
loonhastened to hint. Affecting to disbelieve
the reports that tho inhabitants were firing
their own city, he put more rigid commands on

some iron covered houses that had not yet beeit

and panted in utter oxhauStion. But the night
of •tempest htd• been succeeded by a day of
tempests, and broad flame waving to and. fro
in the blast. The wind had increased to a per
feet hurricane and shifted from quarter to
quarter as if on purpose to swell the sea of
fire, and extinguish the last hope. The tiro
was approaching tiro Kremlin, and elreddy-the
roar of the flames, and the crash of the fall
ing houses, and the crackling of burning tim
bers, were borne to the cars of - the startled
Emperor. lie arose, and walkotllto and from

ed into his iresence,- l and on , their knees be
sought him to flee, but he still hung .to that .
haughty palace as ilia ware his empire.
But at length the shout, "the Kremlin is on
fire!" was heard above the roar of the confla
gration, and Napoleon reluctantly consented to
leave. Ho descended to the street, with his
staff; and looped about fora ivay of egress,
but the. thanes blocked every passage. It
length they discovered a•postern gate 'loading
to theMoskwa, and catered it, but they had
only entered still farther into danger. As Na
poleon cast his eyes around the open apace,
girded and arched with fire,. snioke and cinders,
he saw ono single street yet open, but all on
fire. Into this ho rushed, and amid the crash
of falling houses, and raging of • tlio flames—
over burning ruins; through clouds of rolling
(I
smoke, and between walls sof re ho'-pressed
(* . and at length, half-snffoca ed, emerged in
safety in the imperial fake of Petrawsky,
nearly three miles distant. . Mortier relieved
of his anxiety for the Emperor, redoubled lbs
efforts to arrest' the conflagration. - His' deft
cheerfully rushed into every danger. Breath-.
ing nothing but smoke and ashes-Leariopied by
flame, smoke and cinders—surrounded by walls
of fire that rocked to and fro, and fell with a
crash amid the blazing ruins, carrying down
with them red hot roofs of iron, he struggled
against au enemy that no boldness could awe,
_or_couragc_eyeccome.—Those-brave troops-had'
heard the tramp of thousands of cavalry
-
sweeping to battle, without fear; but new they
stood in still terror. before the march of the
conflagraticin, untict whose burning footsteps
was heard the incessant crash of falling hou
ses, and palaces, and churches. .The continu
ous roar-of the flames was more terrible than
tho_roar ofiitlio. artillery r andbofore -this -mew
foe, in the midst 'of the elements, the awe
struck army stood powerless and affrighted.
When night again descended on the city, it
presented a spectacle the likci of Which was
never seen before, and which baffles all de
scription.. The streets wore streets of fire
the heavens a canopy of fire, and the entire
body of the city a mass of fire, fed by the hur
ricane that whirled the blazing fragments in .0,
constant etroam,through, the air.. Ineeeeaut
exploskins from the blowing up of stores of
oil, tar and spirits, shook iho very foundations
of the city, and sent vast volumes' of smoke
rolling furiously towards the sky. Huge sheets
Of canvass on fire, came boating like messen
gers of death through the flames—the towers
and domes of' the churches anciprilaceiglowed
with red hot heat over the wild sea below, then
tottering a moment on their basis were hurled
by the tempest into the coming ruin. Thou
sands of wretches before unseen'were driven
Vltlie e llameifrom the celliirs and Itovels, : and
streamed in an incessant throng in the streets.
Children were seen carrying - Unlit parent's—
the strong the weak, while • thousands More
were staggering under the loads of 0 - hinder
they had snatched from the flames. This too,
would freqUently take fire in the falling show
er, and the miserable creatures i'vould be coin
, polled to drop it, and flee for their lives. Oh t
it was a scone of fear and wo, inconceivable
end indescribable! A mighty and close pack
ed city of houses and palaces 'wrapped from
limit to :limit in flames which, are fed by a
whirling hurricane, is a sight the world will
seldom see.
But this was all within the city. To Napo
leon without, the spectacle wasititirrmlre Bug
lime and terrific. 'When, the - flames had over
come all obStaeles and' had wrapped every
thing iNtheir'red mantle, that great city look
ed like a sea of rolling fire, swept by a tom
post that drove it' Into vast billows. Huge
domes and towers' throwing off sparks like bla
zing fire brands, now towered above the waves
and now disappeared in their maddening flow
as they broke high•oyer,tileir tops, scattering
their spray of fire against the clouds, The
heavens themselves seemed to have caught the,
conflagration, and the angry masks thatswept
it rolled over a bottom of fire. , Columns of
flames would rise and sink along the surface of
thie'Sea, and - huge columns of black smoke
sudqenly shoot into the air, as if volcanoes
were working' below. The:llia& form of the
Kremlin alone towered above' the Chaos, now
wrapped in flame and smoke, and then began
merging into view—standing amid the scene
of desolation and terror like virtue in th‘midst
of a burning world; enveloped but unscathed
by tho devOuring elements. Napoleon stood
and gazed , on this Scene in silent awe. Though ,
nearly three miles distant, the windows and -

ANECDOTE Of JUDGE' WHITE.
I Went up one' evening, said. the 'Judge;
,te
the Methodist Church. A sermon Was preach : :
ed by a 9lergYman with whom •I *as not act- ,
quainted, but Father Asley was in the pulpit.
At'the close of the sermon 4o aroie, and said
to the congregation: "I am not going to de
tairryouV delivering an. exhortation—l have
arisen merely to administer a:rebuke ter. im
proper-conduot which I have otiserved.here to
night." This of c,ourse waked tip , the entire
assembly, and the stillitesslwas profound; while
Alloy stood and looked for several seconds o
ver the congregation. Then, stretchirigent his
largo, long arm, and pointing with- his fingers
steadily in Qua direction, he said, b . " NoW I
calculate that those two young men who were
talking in that corner while the brother 'was
preaching, think that I am going to talk abdut
them: Well, it is true, when well dressed
young men, who, you would supPoSe from their
appearance, belonged to some respectable &ni
ily, come to,the house of God, and, instead of
I reverencing' the majesty of Him who dwelleth
therein, or attending to t to messages of Ills
everlasting love, 'bet t Cher in ono corner
of the house; NA ;411 the while pointing
steady and stiraight as the aim of a rifleman,)
and there, during the, whole solemn service,
keep talking, tittering, laughing and giggling,
thus annoying the minister, disturbing the
'Congregation, raid-blunt,* against God, I am
sorry for the young mien. lam soirifor their
parents. lam sorry they have done so to--

But, however, that's - not,thethinglvvas going
to talk about. It's another matter, so impor
tant, that I - thought it would be wrong, to la
the congregation departwithaut administering
a suitable rebuke: "Now," said luf--stretch

hOwever, this is not what I wao_going to talk
Thuiratbei:A. , Roy - ieent oaf lof some
time, "boxing the colniiiias,' hitting a number
of persons and things that "he was not going

any gentleman comes to church who can't keep
from clieWing tobacco during the hours of
worship, that he' will just take his hat and use

kneel whop pray: Now any ientleman
may see in a moment how oiceeditiglyincon
venient it must bo for a well dressed Methodist
lady to bo compelle'd to kneel in a puddle of
tobagbo spit."
Now, said Judge White, at this. time I- had
in my mouth an uncommonly hugo quid of to".
bacco. Axley's singular matiner'and train .of
thought, strongly arrested my attention..--L.
While ho was striking to the right and left,
hitting those things which l ho was not going to
talk about, my curiosity was busy to find out
what ho was aiming at. I was chewing my
largo quid and spitting with much rapidity . and
looking up at the preacher to catch every word
and gesture—when at- last lie poiinckupon
the tobacco, behold, there I hadlt groat, pud
dle of tobacco spit! I quialy.slipt the quid
out of my mouth and dashed it as far as I
could under the seats, resolved mover again to
be found showing tobacco in. a Methodist
churoh. ,"

SMALL REFORMERS.
Thb Innumerable - fry .of vould-be reformers
of the present day, to ifininit years of grave
reflection and a laborious study of the science
of political economy in all its hearings and
ramifications amount to just nothing at all, are
happily hit off in the followinearticle from the
Ne York Sun, a journal vvhich is sometimes
agrarian enoUgh;' but which, in the present
case, amply vindicates itself from this impute_
tion
" Thoro'are a number of small reforiners in
all communities, who, like the- fly on the
wheel, in tho'fable, love to - contemplate .them-
I selves in the middle of 'dust,' no matter how
raised.. Possessing littl.,?,,:talent, but any a
mount of impudence, they are continually an
nouncing themselves to the public as loaders
in some new 'progressive' CO .idea. Tfioy
swell themselves out. like lEsop's frogs until
they burst.' - -The progress. of - the useful arts
and sciences is a kind of progress in which
those who assist most make very little .noise.L

all noise and arrogance. It is a shoat upon
the weaker-minded portion of mankind. Their
reforms aro speculations more than labors of
benevolence. Instead of helping - to expand
arid invigorate the human intellect, they try to
amuse. it with worthless baubles. ''They are
corruptors of the Mind. We would say to the
young especially, train yourselves to think
solidly on all subjects. Examine, study, rea
son, before_ you_rango -yourselves, on this_ or
that sidtrof the question. Try, to resist the
attraction of novelty, .the (Lizzie of tinseled
thoughts. A good idea, like a tinely-ehisser
led statue, requires no showy dress to make it
admired; ,It arrestsmtiention of itself. Em

" Mani of tho sofcallocl_progressiveideas_of
tho present - ago aro atheistical, infidel in their
tendency, and should, tlierefore;' be frowned
down in a Christian community. The press is
too ready to foster these ideas under the plea

"antics of a small fry of intellects who can-at

'Apostle Paul's views.on these queStions. Paul
wa's a real reformer, and labored xealously in

"Let the woman leiirn in silence with al

"But Lseer not a woman to feach, - nor to

A LUCAEND OF TALFSTINE
• ...
Somewhat more than' eighteen hundred
years ago, thorn appeared in the Intel of Pal
-estine-a teacher whose coming had been pro
mised to tho exiled parents of mankind. In
him was seen an nesembhige of virtues such
as has never been witnessed, and powers which
far surpassed those oven of Moses and the
prophets.' Wealth Might have been his, but
he needed it not—the sceptre of the world, but
ho would not wield it. His whole soul was de
voted to the ono object of doing good. Thougli
houseless and penniless, ha fed thousands by
his bounty, add bestowed gifts that gold could
not purchase. Mean fled Wore. hint; and
the tomb yielded its ' oocupants. The blind,
looked for the first time upon the face of the
beloved, 'the' dumb grow eloquent, the deaf
drank in the yords of kindness. Over the
heart he held equal sway. . The eiM3l became
niorciful, the miser generous, the haughty
meek, the ambitious •aontentecl with an humble
fortune. Tend'Or and considerate, no harsh
expression loft his lips, no harsh thought dwelt
in his bosom. •
' Yet, as has been forotold;-this - life of "un
wearied love was rewarded by treachery and
death. Terrible, indeed, tho exhibition - of
God's anger. during hie dying agonies. The
veil of tho" temple was rent, 'the Ryes weit,
opened; and the sleepers aroused from their
rest: Tho sun shrauded his glory, and hid his
face from the unutterable' sin:
Titan passed, and nature resumed her
'Ocutrae.Tho day was again brilliant, the night
radiant with stars, and the earth again receiv
ed her 'children, and fondly depore,ted their
bed with greenness and beauty. Bat one pale
blossom in ,memory of the great :eirent, has
worn.a crosa upon, her' breast, and men call it
the passion flower. •

Wiglately heard a .story' illustratiie of the
early days of .York county—thoso good old
times when every body 'was- "honest as the
days ma long." The 'parties were-two of the
early settlers in the western part of York (now.
Adams) eounty--both were of the honest old
Gannon stock—and as one of them is still liv
ing wo suppress the names. Peter, it appears,
had increased the size of his farm by annexing
thereto a small tract adjoining, and lacked a
bout a hiindred dollars of - the sum necessary
to Pay for the acquisition. - He called upon - his
neighbor, George, to,borrow the amount.—
George brought out an old broad basket, and
counted down the desired number of "tha
lors"—and then, of course, the two sat down
to two larg earthen mugs of cider and as
'many pipes of tobacco. After smoking over
the matter for awhile, 'it occurred, to Peter,
that in similar transaationclialiall — seen or
heard of aomething like a note passing between.
the borrower and the lender, and he suggested
as much to George. The lender assented to
the propriety of the thing—paper, pen and
ink were produced—and between the two a
document was concocted, stating that George
had loaned Peter one hundred dollars, which
Peter could repay to George in "droll merits,"
(three months.) This Peter signed, and thus
far our two financiers had made the thing reg
ular and ship-shape. But at this point a diffi
culty presented Itself: They both -knew that'
notes,wcro made in the operations of borrow
ling andlending which. they bad witnessed—.
but neither of them had observed what dispo
sition was ,
made of - tho docuisiont—neither
could tell whether it was en regic for -the bor
rower or the lender to take charge of the pa
per! Hero was a' dilemma! At• ieueb, a
bright idea struck George., "You:haf do me-,
ney to 'pay, Poter,—so be sure you'inust take
dis,papar, so as' you can see you haf to pay
it!" This was conclusive—the common sense
of the , thifirwas unansWarliblb• - =arcd -- Peter
pocketed the money_and his awn nate„"so as
he could See as lie haf pay!" Thre months
passed over; and: punctually to tho day ap-_
peered our friend 'Peter, anepaid over the
promised sum to George. ThiS being done,
.the_mugs and pipes were again paraded. Af

and - handed it- to George;-with-the--remark - :
"Now you must take do note, so as you can '

Ilnavrn.—Phis is the • season not' only of
"sudden death," but of broken health, when
seeds of disease are contracted which lay the
foundation of impaired constitutions, that thro'
life plague:the poor victim with every form of
torture, every' type of malady: How precious
health is those only know who, ha'vci lost it;
and hence the importance of guarding ttgainst
its loss by a proper regulation of diet and bev
erage, pleasure and abstinence; enjoyment
tempered by 'moderation, without 'which can
there be any enjoyment? In every "inordi
nate cup" lurks a deadly poison, which load s
to file horrors of a hospital, or unveils the
ghdstly terrors pf the sepulchre. In every
excess of food lies imbedded the seeds of a
hundred maladies ; and every debauch is but
the ovation of the triumphant foe of mankind.
Nal - in - Icon, being oficb - r - epinitelibcrfor
sands he had caused to bo slaughtered in bat

And if they had not been slain in, battle,
how many of them do you suppose would have
been spared by the demons of debauchery,
drunkenness, lewdness and gambling; in Pa
ris, in the proVinces, iu towns, villages' and
factories? Not a hundred. My conscription
snatched them from the thraldom of their vi
ces to teach them the charms of glory." There
is much truth if a little sophistry in this oh
seivation. If Ameridan wars killed as • many

Chinese had a continual history, oven from
the deluge up to the present •timo; they had
writers in all times and all circumstances, and
they had a. language which, in its essential
parts, had undergone very little - change for
the past two thousand years. ,
"Chinese history stated there was nt ono
time a groat deluge, when the waters rose to,
the heavens, and that the empire was then
converted into h, swamp, which a King, Called
,Shun, got drained, by mehns of canals whose
ino,uthe opened into the seas -anctriver6". The'
date of this event only differed a few years
from that generally assigned to the
It was a confirmation of the truth of the holy
Scriptures, that so distant a nation 'as the
Chinese who did not know from the Bible of
the occurrence of tho great'. water-fall, should
yet record the same event as that spoken of
