friends; it's they who trouble me; should
do well enough if had no friends to care a.
bout me-" This showed some sense in the
poor demented creature, and a just notion
de dn5icstia. But, in word, hatred has long
been out of fashion (good people have even
left off hating the Devil and all his works.;
loue answers all the purpose, and sounds and
does much better. How England has loved
Ireland, for example! how we have petted
it, and dandlcd it, and made much of it, and
nursed it as child does kitten, and poked
its eyes out, and squeezed its belly as fat as
a pancake, and oh, after all these endear-
ments, this lesson of love, to find the ungra-
cious varlets hating each other, and avowing
it like Psalmists. Out upon it.-EnS. faiter.
YOUNG NAPOLEON.-A letter from
person of rank at Vienna, gives the fol-
lowing particulars relative to the Ex. King
of Rome, who will be fourteen years OF age
on the goth of next month. 1t is true, as has
been said, that his education is neglected, or
merely such as would fit him for the cclc-
siastc state. On the contrary, 1t is on
much more liberal plan, and more likely TO
render him a military character. Besides
reading books of general instruction, great
care is taken to perfect him N all manly
and robust exercises Ills countenance,
though handsomer than that of his father,
has stilfthat character OF expression. his
constitution is strong, and his health unln-
terruptcd; he possesses, for his age, rare
degree of sagacity. The EMPEROR sees
him frequently, and seems to take much |
delight in him; he indulges him in all his
boyish fantasies. He has already, though
so young, read the greater number of the
memoirs relative to his father, but through
fineness of taste, extraordinary at his age,
he never mentions the name of his father.
Lately the Emperor mac him present OF
a little Horse, which happened to resemble
a fayolite Arabian horse of NAPOLEON, cal
led lie Ytsr. The Emperor asked him
what name he should give to his horse" 81 wish
10 call him. said the child with great an
NATION, "Le Yisir, because"-here he hes
tated for moment, and then added, 'be-
:ause somebody that | love very much had i
lorse of the same name"

we're on Friday the 22d of April visiscdb by
most severe calamity, nearly the whole OF
lie old village having been destroyed by fire,
which rendered nine families houseless. and
,omc Of them quito destitute. Owing to the
llgh wind which then prevailed, the rapidity
If the conhagraton was such, that very
mall part Of the furniture and ather prop
,rty could be saved. Two of The buildings
destroyed were small stores, and all the
,oods in them were consumed.
Thus has this little, ancient village, which
lad begun to assume a measure of its former
been almost reduced, in the space
f about an hour, to a heap of ruins. This

horises an appeal to the benevolent feel
,gs of the community; and it cannot be doubt
d, will induce a generous contribution for
ne relief (at least Of the most dcstltute) of
ne sufferers. Il
