The following shecdote from late visit At
Paris, given in periodical paper, is deserving
Ut notice in forming a character of the late
French Emperor Napoleon. 1t is from an En-
slishman
OF all the men OF abilities who figured I'M.
ON the stage of the Revolution, Carnot had
been most steady in his opposi.ion to Bonaparte.
de had voted against his being appointed for
life, and had declared his Instrumentation of hi.
assumption of the Imperial dignity. His carri-
age, however, had wen the respect of Napole
on, who bad suffered hi m to live i'm unmoiest
ted retirement. Eut when the Allies had en-
cred France. and sonapafte was surrounded
with difficulties, he addressed to him letter
in which, after reminding him that in the DAYS
OF ms sPtendor and prosperity he had studious.
iy Kept aioof from him, he declared he was
ready to render him his best services in the
season OF his distress. It is an instance of the
descision OF Bonaparte's character, that, in
consequence OF this letter, he entrusted the
man who had been so long his declared enemy,
with the defence of the important CITY of Ant.
werP!"
It Is remark which German writer puts in
the mouth OF one giving advice, Remember the
Dad are not always bad as appear, nor the
good so good as they often pretend. The best of
men love virtue more than they practice it..
You may suffer from the good and the bad, but
do not blame virtue The good and bad will
never make you in love with vice, 4 the result
OF your discovery will be, 10 find how few men
are truly good. Still precious stones are to be
| found, which, though small, IRE worth king.
doms, and thoughts still exist, which contain
more than the virtue of an age. The greatest
evil is to deserve evil, and the most desirable
| good, to deserve to be happy
