"The house in which Napoleon Bonaparte resi-
ded a, ST. Helena, has been converted into Sta
ble.''
On reading the above sentence, generous mind
will find fic ult to suppress certain feelings, of
pity, contempt, or Indignation but these emotions
arise mt much from consideration of the re.
pros, h vi fact herein contained as from that natu
al tram Of reflections which aight review OF the
events OF the last twenty years is calculated to in
spi'e.
The exile, sufferIngs, and death OF Napoleon
upon desert rock at the worlds extremity, have
fixed all immortal stigma upon the allied despots
OF Europe. Under the government of that extra
ordinary character, while in the zenith of his pros
pc nv and ~plendor the condition Of France might
be compared with that Of Rome under Augustus.
He held it is true, the liberties of the people with
in his grasp; but that power, with regard to the
nation was never abused--and however extensive
unjust may have been his projects of aggrandize
ment his ambitious views in relation 20 other
powers, was manifest that his ultimate object
was the glory of F ance. AS patriot, the French
must always revere his memory--and as a terror
to the legitimate fools by whom he was besct, their
minions will not cease to execrate his name, so
long as desposm shall maintain its present ascen-
deEcy.
What European monarch of modern times, nay
of any former PERIOD has evinced either the talent
or the love of country which distinguished Napo
leon? Who. among those crowned imbeciles, ever
encountered personal peris, exercised undaunted
verse verance in the of his subjects, like Ma
poIeon? And yet after lille Of such toll and devo
ton, after series Of achievements unparalleled in
the annals Of herosm, the accidents OF war placed
him in he hands of noble enemy, and he is mag
unanimously condemned to linger out his few remain
ing days in solitude upon barren speck, standing
amidst the waste OF waters, like HIMSELF alone and
objectionable!
But, as if human vengeance we're utterly insatia-
BILE, his kidnappers-for they were never his con-
querors in fair conflict adjudged also that he should
endure every variety Of mental and bodily anguish
thar could be produced by the most contemptuous
insolence and deprivation of the comforts of life
They therefore selected for his gaoler pitifu
wretch, whose sense Of honor had never developed
itself; and whose obsequious servility TO his EN-
pIoyers, was equalled only by his ingenious mean
mesa in The continuance of insults too detesable
for Biliingsgate candidate for Botany Bay. Thus
he died-was buried--and his last residence has
become stable Nantucket Inquirer.

A PEEP AT THE INDIANS OF a

History is the grand spy glass which enables US
to take view of variety of interesting objects Of
antiquity at once, and generally, the more distant
the object. the more wonderful and interesting they
appear when brought within the field view of intel
ligence. Hence it is, that while the ingenuity Of
historians has been employed in prying into The
most rare foreign productions, on the catalogue of
human exploits, many equally worthy the attention
OF the patriot and philanhropist, in c. own neigh
borhood, slumbcr in the tomb of oblivion unnoticed
and unknown. Some of our fore fathers, whose
bones quietly repose beneath the sods of our own
vallies, and whose achievements live only in the
memories Of their children, can boast of deeds that
will be the theme of admiration to historians some
thousand years hence. Their hardships their suf-
ferings their preservation, and prosperity in viii

high terms of Swaim's Panacea. He remarked that ne

almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with very little if any effect, but who, after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state Of the most miserable
weakness and Infection wherein repeated salvations
had produced only the mischief incident the of
mercury. He spoke likewise of Mr. Swaim personal
ly, acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor and in
the support even ofwhoe families until cure ef
fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing the Panacea Of Swaim but that he thought duty
which he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold
the expression of his opinion and experience ofts eff
caeious character. STUDENT.
N. B. We think it our duty to say, that are sur.
