Sonnet to Louis Napoleon.
fly GEORGE H. BORER.
Oh! shameless thief! a natibb trusted thee
With all the wealth her bleeding hands had won,
Proclaimed thee guardian of her liberty :
So proud a title never lay upon
Thy Uncle's forehead. Thou wast linked with one
First President of Francs, whose name shall be
Fixed in the heavens, like God's eternal sun—
Second to him alone—to Washington !
Was it for thee to stoop unto a crown ?
Pick up the Bourbon's leavings yield thy
height
Of simple majesty, and totter down,
Full of discovered frailties—sorry sight !
One of a mob of kings? Or, baser grown,
Was it for thee to steal it in the night?
Washington's Farewell to his
Army.
The morning of the 4th of December,
1783, was a sad and heavy one to the rem
nant of the American army in the city of
New York. The noon of that day was to
witness the farewell of Washington—he
was to bid adieu to his military comrades
forever. The officers who had been with
him in solemn council, the privates who had
fought and bled in the "heady fight" under
his orders, were to hear his commands no
longer. The manly form and dignified
countenance of the "GREAT CAPTAIN" was
henceforth to live only in their memories.
As the hour of noon approached, the
whole garrison, at the request of Washing
ton himself, was put in motion, and march
ed down Broad street to Francis's tavern,
his head-quarters. Ho wished to take
leave of private soldiers alike with the offi
cers, and bid them all adieu. His favorite
light infantry were drawn up in line facing
inwards, through Pearl street to the foot
of Whitehall, where a barge was in readi
ness to convey him to Powles' Hook.
Within the dining room of the tavern
were gathered the general and field officers
to take their farewell.
Assembled there were Knox, Greene,
Steuben, Gater, Clinton, and others, who
had served with him faithfully and truly
in the tented field; but, alas! where were
others who had entered the war with him
seven years before Their bones crumb
led in the soil, from Canada to Georgia !-
I Montgomery bad yielded up his life at
' Quebec, Wooster fell at Danbury, Wood
hull was barbarously murdered whilst a
prisoner at the battle on Long Island, Mer
cer fell mortally wounded at Princeton;
the brave and chivalric Laurens, after dis
playing the most heroic courage in the
trenches at Yorktown, died in a trifling
skirmish in South Carolina; the bravo but
eccentric Lee was no longer living, the
Putnam, like a helpless child, was stretch
ed on a bed of sickness. Indeed, the bat
tle-field and time had thinned the ranks
which entered with him into the conflict.
IVashington entered the room—the hour
of separation had come. As he raised his
eye and glanced on the faces of those as
sembled, a tear coursed down his cheek,
and his voice was tremulous as ho saluted
them. Now was he alone. Men, "albeit
unused to the melting mood," stood around
him, whose uplifted hands, to cover their
brows, told that the tear, which they in
vain attempted to conceal, bespoke the an
guish they could not hide.
After a moment's conversation, Wash
ington called for a glass of wine. It was
brought him. Turning to his officers, he
thus addressed them:
"With a heart full of love and gratitude,
I now take my final leave of you. I most
devoutly wish your latter days may bo as
prosperous and happy as your former ones
have been glorious and honorable." He
then raised the glass to his lips, drank, and
added, "I cannot come to each of you to
take leave, but shall bo obliged to you if
each will take me by the hand."
General Knox, who stood nearest, burst
into tears, and advanced, incapable of ut
terance. Washington grasped him by the
hand, and embraced him. The officers
came up successively and took an affection
ate leave. No words were spoken, but all
was the "silent eloquence of tears." What
were mere words at such a scene? Noth
ing. It was the feeling of the heart—
thrilling, though unspoken.
When the last of the officers had embra
ced him, Washington left the room, follow-
ed by his comrades, and passed through
the lines of the light infantry. His step
was slow and measured, his head uncover
ed, and the tears flowing thick and fast, as
he looked from side to side at the veterans
to whom he now bade adieu forever.—
Shortly an event occurred more touching
than all the rest. A gigantic soldier, who
had stood by his side at Trenton, stepped
forth from the ranks, and extended his
hand.
"Farewell, my beloved General, fare
well !"
Washington grasped his hand, in con
vulsive emotion, in both of his. All dis
cipline was now at an end. The officers
could not restrain the men as they rushed
forward to take Washington by the hand,
and the sobs and tears of the soldiers told
how deeply engraven upon their affections
was the love of their commander.
At length Washington reached the barge
at Whitehall, and entered it. At the first
stroke of the oars, he rose, and turning to
the companions of his glory, by waving his
hat bade them a silent adieu. Their an
swer was only in tears; and officers and
men, with glistening eyes, watched the re
ceding boat till the form of their noble
commander was lost in the distance.
Contrast the farewell of Washington to
his army at Whitehall, in 1783, and the
adieu of Napoleon to his army at Fontain
bleau, in 1814 ! The one had accomplish
ed every wish of his heart. His noble ex
ertions had achieved the independence of
his country, and he longed to retire to the
bosom of his home. His ambition was sat
isfied. He fought for no crown or sceptre,
but for equality and the mutual happiness
of his fellow beings. The other great sol
dier was the disciple of selfish ambition.—
He raised the iron weapon of war to crush,
only that he might rule. But still he was
a great General, and circumstances way
have in a measure directed his aims. En
thusiasm points with fearful wonder to the
name of Napoleon, whilst justice, benevo
lence, freedom, and all the concomitants
which constitute the true happiness of man,
shed almost a divine halo around the name
and character of WASHlNGTON.—Buck
ingham's Traditions of New York, in
the Sunday Times.
Tile Contrast.
I saw a vast multitude of the sick and
dying, and fast hastening to death, and I
heard a voice saying to each and all.—
There is life for the asking, and there was
but one or two of all that great company
raised their voices to beg the boon.
I saw a band of weary travellers, in a
sandy desert, parched with thirst and faint
beneath the rays of the burning sun; and I
heard a voice saying to them. There is
water for the sinking. “110, every one
that thirsteth, come ye to the waters!" and
directly in sight appeared a cool and spark
ling fountain, gushing from a rock, which
throw a shadow across the weary land, and
but a few there were who made the effort
to reach the grateful shade of the rock, or
to slake their thirst in its waters.
"I here is gold for digging," proclaimed
another voice; and thousands of eager ques
tioners cry, "Where—where 1" Far, far
away, over the deep waters, across the dan
gerous passes of the mountains; danger and
disease must be met, privation and hunger
must be braved—but what of all that 1—
there is "gold for the digging," at the end.
And how they throng, and press, and
crowd, to reach that far off-land!
"What shall it profit a man, if he gain
the whole world, and loose his own soul 'I"
02 — .4 A New-York house has recently
transmitted an order to Paris for an invoice
or dress goods, with a deep border on the
side. These goods are intended for ladies'
short dresses, and the width of the cloth
will comprise the length of the skirts. We
give the following description from a New-
York paper:—.The skirt comes a little
below the knee, and buttons in front—the
waist is cut plain, and also buttons in front.
The border extends round the skirt, and in

Doing it Handsome.
A few evenings since, says the Easton
Post, the passenger train on the
Railroad arrived at a small village and
stopping at the depot, a loving couple got
out and inquired the way to the minister's.
On reaching the house, John made known
his errand, which was no other than to have
the rite of holy wedlock performed. The
reverend gentleman was just leaving to
perform a service of another kind, and sug
gested that the parties should wait his re
turn. But John was in a hurry, and the
minister thinking he could make a short
case of it, consented to tarry; but the
bridegroom was not quite ready. His trunk
was out on the platform, and said he, ad
dressing the minister :
"Spose you just help me in with it."—
On getting it into the house, he added—
" Just help me up stairs with it; Elizabeth
wants to dress." This done. "And now/
said he to a young lady present, as he de
scended, 'spose you just go up stairs and
help Elizabeth dress.'
Surely such a request could not be de
nied. The lady was dressed, and her toil
ets duly made; as she was about to descend
she bethought herself that John's wedding
"ring" was in her trunk, and she would
thank the young lady if she would "take
it into John's room, and call him to get
ready."
The ring was accordingly taken into an
adjoining chamber, and the bridegroom
showed "where hc , might make ready."—
This occupied time. But at length, the
parties descended to their stations, and the
service was about to commence. At this
instant John filed off to a distant part of
the room where the young lady was sitting,
and said to her—
"Come now, 'sposo you just go and stand
up side of Elizabeth, it will make her feel
better."
The lady acceded. The two were soon
made 'one flesh,' and the clergyman left.
It was expected, of oourse, that the happy
couple would take the latter train and pro
ceed on their way that night. But all was ,
now over. The parties seemed at home.—
At length John spying a piano, said to the ,
young lady, still in the room :
"Come now, 'spose you give us a tune
on that thing there." .
The lady complied; it was a sentimental
song, and the bridegroom was in raptures.
"Never heard such a right down good
thing in all my life; and now 'spose you go
right through it again."
It was repeated; about this time the car
whistle announced the approach of the train.
They were informed; but John said he 'had
no thought of going from such a confound
ed good place that night.' They stayed;
in the morning they took the early train,
and just as they were leaving the generous
and grateful bridegroom slipped a silver
dollar into the hand of the clergyman, his
eyes opening and glistening like the rising
sun.
"There," said he, "take that, I'm going
up to , I've a brother there he's
going to be married; I'll send him down
here; for you do the thing so handsome."
Look at T'other Side Jim.
When a boy, as I was one day passing
through the market with my neighbor Joe,
I spied a beautiful orange lying on a basket
of the same fruit. I inquired the price and
was proceeding to buy it, when my brother
exclaimed with a shrewdness which I never
shall forget, "look at t' other side, Jim."
I looked and to my utter astonishment it
was entirely rotten.
In passing through life, I have been fre
quently benefited by this little admonition.
When I hear the tongue of slander level
ing its venom against some fault or foible of
a neighbor, I think, "look at t'other side,
Jim !" Be moderate—have charity, per
haps the fault or foible you talk so much
and so loudly of, is almost the only one in
your neighbor s character; and perhaps you
have as great or greater ones of your own.
It may be this is your neighbor's weak
side, and except this he is a good citizen, a
kind neighbor, an affectionate father and
husband, and a useful member of society.—
Others may listen to the story of calumny
—but remember they will fear and despise
tlAe calumniator. Learn to overlook a fault
in your friends—for perhaps you may wish
themto pardon a fault in you.

lr - Here are two or three hints for ju
venile tobacco chewers, which we extract
from the Boston Olive Branch :
" Tobacco has spoiled and utterly ruined
thousands of toys, inducing a dangerous
precocity, developing the passion, softening
and weakening the bones, and greatly injur
ing the spinal marrow, the brain and the'
whole nervous fluid. A boy who early and
freely smokes, or otherwise largely uses to
bacco, never is known to make a man of
much energy of character, and generally
lacks physical and muscular as well as men=
tal energy. To people older, who' are natu
rally nervous, and particularly to the phleg. ,
matic, tobacco may be comparatively harm
less. We would, particularly warn boys
who want to be anybody in the world to
shun tobacco as a deadly poison."
PROPERTY.—Property left to a child may
soon be lost; but the inheritance of virtue—
a good name, and unblemished reputation—
will abide for ever. If those who have toil
ing for wealth to leave their ehildern, would
take half the pains to secure for them vir
tuous habits, how much more serviceable
would they be. The largest property may
be wrested from a child, but virtue will
stand by him to the last.
Tins is a dangerous period of the

Mrs. Partington says she has got a ro

113 — Ou it being reported to a party of
ladies that a Captain Silk had arrived in
town, they exclaimed, with one exception,
"what a name for a soldier!" " The
fittest name in the world," rejoined a witty
female; "for silk never can be worsted."
CHALLENGING THE JURY. "Do you
mean to challenge any of the jury?" was
the query of a counsel on an Irish trial, to
an angry client.
"To be sure I do," was the reply, "I
mean to challenge every man of the twelve
if they give a verdict against me, and. I
wonder if I might not include the judge in
the message'!"
