VARIETY.

A British Traveller relates that on
visit to Milan, he saw a portrait of Ma
poleon, which had attracted the atIen-
ton Of the Italian Police, as well as that
ofthe artists. The painter had exhib.
tied it the day after Napolean war
crowned king of Italy. The Conquer
or was represented with the iron crown,
and all the attributes Of royalty. The
picture was an excellent likeness, but
what excited the keenest curiosity, was
the four letters, at the bottom, /. N. R.
|. the monogram Of the crucifix, lesu.
Nazaranus Rex Judeorum, (Jesus Of
Nazareth King Of the Jews.) Some saw
IN il a singing satire, and an allusion,
in the iron crown of thorns which en-
circled the brow of the saviour. What
impudence!" said the courtiers. "What
a grand truth" said others, who reflcc-
ted on the new enemies which the iron
crown would draw on Bonaparte. The
police sought the painter, and demau.
ded of him with what intention he had
affixed these four letters, and what he
meant by them. "Why," said he with
smile, "the four letters which excite
SO much curiosity and rumor, desig,
nate the man l have painted and his
new thrown,
IxPERAToR NAPoLEoN, REX TALE"
(The Emperor Napoleon, King Of Italy,
There is certainly singular and ex-
traordinary coincidence in the initial
letters.

CHARITY.
saw a man, child of wo,
Approach, with hating step and slow,
A fellow mortaps door:
In health saw him 60 away,
With manly step and visage gay,--
His sorrowS were no mole.
1 saw man in prison bound,
With iron walls and chains around,
The child of misery
Iquickly saw the moving bar,
The bolt recede, the door ajar,
The prisoner was free.
] saw the sick man in his bed,
With no hand to press his head
Death seem'd around to stalk;
saw the monster yield his prey,
As some sweet voice was heard to say,
Stake up thy bed and ,catk,"
Iheard the sland'rous tale goforth;
And faint the gale from south to north;
I saw the maiden pine;
I saw reverted every ear
saw the maid without tear,
The hlly-wreath entwine,
i saw the simple go astray,
And fallto vice an easy prey
Tn. sword began to draw;
=, heard a voice the victim cheer
As some sweet angel dropt tear,
And blotted out the law,
saw erroneous nature go
Blind fold into the paths of wo -
To frown the world began;
heard a voice Of sweetness say,
"'Tis natures doom to go astray,"
"Show INC the perfect man."
These words, blest Charity, were thine,
Thou daughter of the skies Benign
To whom the task is given,
On earth to wipe our tears away,
To set them right who go astray,
And lead the way to Heaven.

The Paris Correspondent of the Lon

led on gentleman the other day who
was shaving with bad razor, SO that
he was obliged to put his chin into a
scrape half dozen Of times before he
could get the beard of. We asked
him why he used bad French razor
when good English ones were to be had
easily? He triumphantly exclaimed,
with the tears streaming from his eyes
because, Sir, l am Frenchman and
a Patriot, and will never encourage
the introduction Of foreign manufac-
lures"

rejoice to have it in our power TO lay before our
