NAPoLEoN's BED ROOM.

After Josephine had been divorced from Napoleon, it is stated, in volume, of me- mors just published, that "the Empress, retaining for the Emperor an attachment approaching to adoration, would not allow even chair to be disturbed in his apart ment: and instead of occupying it herself, preferred being very indifferently lodged above stairs. Every thing remained in cx- actly the state as when the Emperor quit ted his cabinet "a book of history, plac- ed on his bureau, with the page marked at which he had left off; the pen with which he had been writing, retaining the ink that a moment later, might have dictated laws to Europe; a map of the world, on which he had been pointing out to his con6dants his projects respecting the countries the in- vasion of which he meditated, and which bore marks of his impatience occasioned probably by some silly comment. Jose phine alone undertook the office of dusting what she called 'his relics ; and she sell dom gave any permission to enter the sane tuOry. NapoleOn's Roman bed was with out curtains his arms were hung on the walls of the chamber and various parts of male dress were scattered over the lHrni- ture. 1t seemed us The were just about to re-onter place from which he had ban ishod himself (oreV0r."

Sec her as seldom as possible. If she is warm and cheerful tn temper; or if,after days or weeks absence, she meets you with a smiling face, and in an affectionate manner-be sure to look coldly upon her, and answer her with mOnosyllables. Ii she force back her tears and is resolved to look cheerful, sit down, and gape in her presence,til she is fully convinced of your indifference. Never think you have any thing to do to make her happy; but that her happiness is to flow from gratifying your capriceS; and when she has done all a woman can do, be sure you do not ap- pear gratifed. Never take an interest in any of her pursuits; and if she asks your advice, make her think that she is saucy and impertinent. If she attempts to rally you good humoredly, on any of your pe- culiAri,ies, never join in the laugh, but frown on her in silence. lfshe has faults, which without doubt she will have, and perhaps be ignorant of, never attempt with kindness to correct them, but continually obtrude upon her ears, What good wife Mir - has, How happy Mir. - is with his wife, 'That any man would be happy with such a wife. In company never seem to know you have wife, treat all her remarks with indifference, and be Very affable and cemplaisant to every olh- CT lady. If you follow these directions you may be sure of an obedient and-a heart broken wife.

STEALING.

Don't be alarmed, gen,les, though there is nothing very fascinating in the title of these lucubrations, still we are determined with your permission, to discuss the theme, hoping thereby to give that word a more extensive definition than the fashionables may be disposed to allow it. For instance: a gentleman sees handsome pen knife on the desk of his friend he admires it! 'tis exactly the thing he wants: one blade is a keener for quill another an exquisite pairer of the nails; in short, he must have it; and why not :! "penknives are publck property" and so it glides into his vest pocket, and makes itself " at home." Now this is steaIing---downrght stealing yet, Brutus is an honorable man." Your lit- erary friend visits you in your library and
 uxuriates in the field of literature before him with keen relish of an epcure at a feast, knocks down Virgil in grasping at Byron, and pops Cervantes under the Wa verlies. After ageneral survey ofaIl your literary bill of fare, he for she honors you by borrowing the first volume of one set :; the second of another, and so on: now as it is 'an old fashioned whim' even to think of returning borrowed books, prepare to sigh your last farewell to these. And what is this but stealing? yea, most vexatious & abominable larceny! When wishing,per- haps on some important occasion to refer to particular book, you hasten to your Ii- brary and find that volume, the most valu- able of the sett, the. only one missing. If you are resolved to regain it, after dili- aLna :A be restored to you in the course ofthe year after having accomplished the tour of the city upon the lending principle, yet cover- less and soded as it probably will be, you are glad to receive it. A liberal feeling sometimes visits us on viewing the vacas- ces of our shelves, and could we but re- member the names of such borrowers, we should be happy to forward to them the re- maining volumes ofthe sett as being use less to us. We had rather be compelled to cut with halfa pair of scissors than lose one volume of an interesting work.

TRUTH AND FALsEHoOD.

It is most dangerous to deviate from truth, even on the most triaing occasion. However guileless may be our intentions, the habit, if indulged, may take root, and gain on us under the cover of various pre- tences till it usurps a leading influence on our conduct. Truth is born with us and we must do violence to nature to shake off our veracity. Plutarch calls lying the vice of slave. Flatterers-those who contin- ually praise themselves, and speak i'll of O. ,hers; and those who affect to depreciale the advantage they enjoy, and to exagger- ate those of others, ought never to be be- lieved on their word. Wegan nothing by falsehood but the disadvantage of not being credited when we speak the truth.

 MARRIAGE.

With exceeding few exceptions, it is or has been the desire of every individual to become covenanted for life to select one' of the opposite sex. We believe it to be the duty of every man to marry, pro- vided his circumstances admit ot such an accession to his expenses. Marriage, as Some one has already observed, enlarees inc sphere of our worldly feicities, attach es to us more rank and dignity in society,
 and is proper and necessary restraint up-
 on the improper exercise of the passions.
 Nevertheless, no earthly covenant requires go much fore-thought and deliberation as
 this, and if the importance ots the latter
 were duly weighed and considered by all
 who enter into its engagements, incalcula-
 ble priyations and misfortunes would te
 spared large portion of the human fami- lv.-Perhaps two thirds of the marriage
 covenants which are formed, arc entered into by young persons, when the judgment is entirely absorbed in the feelings, and when no provisions for future exigences ol sickness and misfortune are considered. 1t is impossible to point out rules for the regulation of this matter.-One moment of phrenzied emotisn will counteract all the philosophy of Hume. Again, we have heard it alledgcd when a case ofprecipi- tate marriage was recently entered into, that the individual had been waiting some favorable revolution for the space of five years, and at the expiration of that period, was precisely in the same situation with re- gard to worldly affairs as at its commence ment. Hope delayed is indeed the worst of tortures; but, would it not be far pref erable in such cases-cases where coup le are fondly attached to each other, yet
 whose circumstances are so depressed as to forestaM any present determination Of marriage would it not be far better for two thus situated to hold no intercourse with each other, beyond that of common acquaintance, until more suspicious mo-
 ment arrived for consumating marriage To this question prudence would have a ready reply, but how differently would love respond. Was there ever woman truly
 attached to one of the opposite sex who was not willing to undergo any privation, rather than forego tha society of that ob- '.jecl Never! yet while this confession is made, experience will teach the most of mankind that absence will soon erase the glowing image from the youthful brain,
 and oblivion roll its dusky tide even over the first fond dream of young idolatry
 The most important considerations which man should make previous to entering { into the responsibilities of husband, and z perhaps involving to them those of fa- fher, are these :-Am I capable, whilst take this young creature from her paternal prOtection--from the fire side of her kind red, and from the gentle felicities of theil

HINTS TO PARENTS,

The early instruction imbbed from a parents life, has the strongest influence in forming the future character. Before the mind is mature enough to think for itself, we look to those whom nature has consti- tuted our guardians, to correct and sanc- lion our opinions. In this way parental au- thority gains q hold upon the mind of child ren, that never can be annihilated. And happy indeed would it be if the result were always the formation of noble and man. y character. Intelligent and well educa- ted parents exert glorious and beneficial power; but those who are darkened by ig- norance, and chained by prejudice, trans- init their intellectual qualities as well as personal features, to their unfortunate des- cendants. When an instructor has to deal with the children of such parents, he has a double difficulty to encounter. He must meet the ignorance and obstinacy of the one, and give a right direction to the per- verted powers of the other. And after he has laboured with all the assiduty of an al- most self-sacrifcing zeal, he must consider il an instance of rare felicity to escape a torrent of bitter inventive. How many worthy instructors have had their peace assailed by the unjust reproaches ofdiscon- tented parents ? How many parents have seen cause of deep and hearty regret that they ever lent credulous ear to the com. plainis of boyish pettishness Have You son? Beware how you make the idle elfusions ofan irrt; ted temper, the ground of serious accusation against his intellectual guide. As you value the consciousness o having discharged your duty,as you regare inc future responsibility of your child; a' you would have him improve the preciou: hours ofyouth in gaining those acquisitions that are to make him worthy and usetu member of society; beware of giving yonl parental counienance to his frivolous com. pIaints. Are you a mother!-As 70, wish your son to fulfil the bright hopes O maternal affection, as you wish him to be- come the boast and support of your life ,tht pride of your family, the ornament of soci ety, beware of suffering your solicitude it betray you into unjust censures on the ap' parent severity of an instructor, whose du' ty leads him to apply wholesome disci' pline to your darling child.
