Our-hero turned away with a scornful lookt,
and the eonverration-'ceased for the present.i
The fact was, Hanson was in love, really, deepi. ,
ly in love; and for the first time in his life.-4,
Accident had favored his acquaintance with
Itose,Murry ; for on the very first morning art
ter his arrival, he had met her in his walk and
had an opportunity if assisting her over a broOlf

an excuse for calling a third time ; and after,
that it seemed a matter of course to spend hii :
1 mornings at the cottage. At the end of th 4
second week he was irrevocably in love ; for :
Rose was just the character to fascinate him„
being all naturalness, as her rival was artificial-1
ity. _ ';
_ . __ .. . _ ,:•,i
Yet. there was, during all this time, a fierea .
straggle going on in our hero's mind. He ha&
been brought to do nothing, in expectation o(
an ample fortune ; and in the world of town . ,
where be lived had imbibed an exaggerated,
notion of the importance of wealth, Bat his
own fortune was inconsiderable, and if be mar-:
rigid any other than an heiress, he would have,
to rely on his own labor for support. Love at,
last triumphed, however ; atulhe laid hisleart,
at the feet of Rose. But how was he startled
to meet a refusal? She did not indeed deny'
au affection for him, but, &idle, now learned
for the rust time his situation, her reply watt,

A.'s'" household " was stowed away in
seven large wagons--being firstyacked in pine
boxes, on which were 'painted in large black
letters the contents, address, eire.
One wagon after another was unloaded With
out much sensation on the part of the little
crowd of lookers on, except an occasional , ex
chunation similar to the fallowing from those
who had never seen the like before. 9
" Glass-- ; This side up with care Why, I
thought this ere feller' was a Doctor 1., What
on yearth is ho going to do with that boil full
of windows,l"
"-This side up with care !" exclaimed one
" Hea. got his paregoric and oil-of spike fixins
in that. Won't he fizie . them agar fellows_
down on the river ?" , ,
In the last wagon there was but one large
box, and on, it were painteri.the words—" P lano
Forte—Keep dry and handle carefully." It
requir' ed the assistance of all the bystanders to
unload.this' box, arid the curiosity excited iq
the crowd upon reading the foregoing Words,
and hearing the musical sounds emitted as it ,
struck the ground, can only be gathered bye
giving a few of the expressions that dropped
from the spectators. , 1
" Pine Fort !" said a tall yellow-haired, fe
ver-and-agne-looking,youth—" Wonder # he's
afeerd 'of the Injaus ? He can't scare :them
with a pine fort ?'
" K-eesp D-r-y," was spelled by, a liar
raw-boned,looking man, who was evidently a
liberal patron, of " old bald face," who brhke
off at the letter y 'with " D your Tem
perance characters, you needn't tome round
here with tracts !"
He was interrupted at this point by a stout
built personage, who cried out—
" He's got his skeltons in thar, and he's
afeerd to give them liker; for they'll break put
if he does ! Poor. fellers !—they must infer
powerfully !"
" Handle carefully !" said a man, with a red
bruiting shirt, and the size of whose " list," as
he doubled it up, was twice that of an ordina
ry man. " There's some live critter in than.
Don't lon hear him groan ?" This wait said
as the box struck the ground and the coneus
'Bien caused a vibration of the strings.
No sooner had all hands let go of to boi,
than Di. A. was besieged by his neighbors—
all of , whom were determined to know whit
were its contents, and what was the meaning
of the words, " Piano Forte." - On his telling
them that it was a musical instrument, imam ,
" reckoned that it would take a tarns' sight*
wind to blow it !" others " that it would take
a lot of men to make it go !" *e., &e. The
Doctor explained its operations as well Is he

'but satisfactory; and ho could only get Odle(

Three days-=days that seemed 'like weeks
Ito the persons before mentioned—elapsed be
fore the premises of Dr. A. were arranged for
the reception of visitors ; and various and en
rrions were the surmises among the " setileri"
during this time. Dr. A. and his " plunder "
were the only topics of conversation for miles
,arourict • The Doctor's house hid but one
lower room, but this was one of double ordi
nary size, And the carpets were all to small to
cover the entire floor ; hence a strip of bare
floor appeared at eacli side of the room. Op
posite to and facing the door was placed the
" Pine fort." -All was ready for the admission
of " vizters," and, Miss was to act as the
'fait performer. The Doctor had but to open
the &iv, and half a score of men were ready
to enter. Miss E. took - her seat, and -at the
-first sounding of the instrument, the whole
party present rushed in, Seine went directly
up to the " erittur," as it had been called on
account of its having four legs—some, more
eV, remained close to the door, where, if ne
cessary, they could more easily make their es
cape, while others, who bad never seen a car
, pek-were observed walking round on the strip
of b e refloor, lest by tredding on the "
OTTIe kaliker," they might ",spile" it I
The first tune seemed to put the whole, com
pany in ectacies. The raw-boned man, who
was so much opposed to temperance tracts,
,Pulled out a flask of whiskey, and insisted that
the " gal,' as he called Miss E., should drink.
Another laid down a dimo, and wanted " that's
Worth" mare out of the "forty pains," as
the sabre of the instrument had come to him
fter travelling through some five or six pro
nunciations. Another, with a broad grin (al
his face, declared that he would give hi%
claim " and all the " truck " on it, if' his
f'ilarter" could have such a cupboard
"The " pine fort " man suggested that if that
tiwort- - --ofmusic had been in the Black Hawk
Na r, " they would have skecred the Jejuna
like all holler I"
It, is needless to say, that it was late at nigt
ore Miss E. and the other' ladies of tie
*ease could satisfy their delighted hearert;
bat they were all " tired out." The , whose

Bonaparte always chose hie Marshals on the

every where visible in naturennd that the
beauty and harmony of the: whole depend on
the difference Jot:each part, they wish to find in
every man that proportion and balance of all
his qualities which would make him perfect.= ,
Disappointed in this, they seek the nearest ap
proximation to it; and hence prefer an ordina
-1 intellect, if well balanced; to a great one, if
great only in iiome particular 'direction. For
getting that melt a character is unbalanced,
only Lecause it has one striking 'uality, they

Prudent mediocre minds. is 'ay do for a
merchant, but not for a governme t or milita
ry leader. ' The collection of twenty thousand
epnrnion mindi furnishes no additional strength,
while the union of one-twentieth olthat num
ber, each of which possesses Agee in only one
4relition, gives irnmensepower. 'via true, .one
*ell - balance& intellect, is needed to control,
these conflicting energies, and force them to act I
in harmony on one great plan,Lor they will /
waste themselves on each other.. Bonaparte
was such a controlling mind, and he cared not
how one-sided the spirits wereihe gathered a
bout him, if they only had force; be -was after
power ; acting on this principle, he never al
lowed'a mat of any striking quality to escape '
him. • Whether it was the cool and intrepid'
Ney, or the ,chivalric Murat—the rookfaat
Macdonald, or tempestuous Junot—the -ibold
and careful Sonit, or the impetuous Lannes, it
mattered not. - Re needed them all, and he
thus concentrated around him the greatest el
ements of strength that man can wield. It is
fearful to see the spirits Napoleon moulded in
to plans,„and the combined energy be let -loose
upon the armies • of Europe. Knowing the
moral powerasA great and striking qualities, he
would haveno leader without them. In This;
he showed consummate knowledge of human
nature, espeCially of Frenchmen. Euthusitain,
mid the reliance on' one they never trusted in
vain, in battle, will carry an army farther than 1
the severest discipline. A company ? of con
scripts would follow Ney as far as a body of
veterans a common leader. '.. So would a col
umn charge with Lannes a 4 their head, whe t;
with a less daring and resoliteman they would'
break and fly. Moral power is great as phys
ical, even where every thing depends on bard
r bloos. Mid and 'will give o the body all
force—so do they also to aniarmy. The truth
of this was witnessed and prpved in our strug- .
glo with the parent eountry.i
Jean Lannes was born in Leetoure, a small
town in Normady, in April, 1i 69. " His father
was a humble mechanic, an designing his son
1 for a similar occupation, heliound him out, at
an early age, as an apprenLannes wouldpro bably have ice. Id-ordinarytimes, young Iv
re
mained in the humble stationiin whith his birth
placed him, and became a parable shoemaker
or carpenter. But the call which the Itevolu
tion sent forth for the militant talent of France, ,
could not be resisted, and yiliing Lannes ran
away from his master and ciliated as a com
mon soldier ,in the army. 54 , 01 after, be was
sent with the army that operated On the Pyre
nean frontier. Here he soon the two
striking traits of his , chartic4er—traits which
eminently fitted him for the scenes through
which his life was to pass-4ei reckless dar
ing and unconquerable resolelion. Thesequal
' ities shining ut in the heat ot battle and intim
Imost desperate straits, soon Ivan for him the
regard of his o ffi cers, and :holflis made chief of
rigade. Li thierank he foipt under Lefeb;
re, but soon after, for some tense known only
(to the convention, which, yet icarcely knew the
cause of any thing it did, hef, was deprived of
his commission, end returned i tnlPerii. Amid
the conflicting elements that surrounded the
young soldier in the French capitol, he soon
found work to do. An 'ar4mit Republican;
1 his bold politics and bolder nianner could not
longer escape the notice of government, and-he
was sent to the army in Itary. As chief of a
battalion at _Milesimo,' he co ''acted himself so
gallantly, and fought with anWh desperate im
petuosity, that he arrestedaoleen's atten
tion in the hottest of the
engagement; and hi,
