bel; the mountains of Ararat, and many Of
the most interesting places in the Holy
Land; but of Sinai there is no doubt This
is the holy mountain; and among all the
stupendous works of Nature, not place
can be selected more fitted for the exhibit
ton ofAlmighty power. ! have stood upon
the summit Of the giant Etna, and looked
over the clouds floating beneath it; upon
the bold scenery Of Sicily, and the distant
mountains of Calabria; upon the top of Yes
uvius, and looked down upon the waves of
lava, and the ruined and half-recovered cit
les at its foot; but they are nothing compa-
red with the terrific solitude and bleak ma
jesty ofSinai. An observing traveller has
well called it ''a perfect sea of desolation."
Not tree, or shrub, or blade of grass, is to
be seen upon The bare and rugged sides of
lnnumerable mountains, heaving their naked
SUBMITS to the skies, while the crumbling
masses of granite all around, and the dis
tant view of the Syrian desert, with its
boundless waste of sands, form the widest
and most dreary; the most terrific and des-
olate picture that imagination can conceive.
The level surface of the very top or pin
nacle is about 16 feet square. At one end
is single rock about 20 feet high, on
which, as said the monk, the spirit of God
descended, while, in the crevice beneath,
his favored servant received the tables of
the law. There, on the same spot where
they were given, l opened the sacred book
in which those laws are recorded, and read
them with deeper feeling of devotion, as
if were standing nearer and receiving then
more directly from the Deity himself.

divorced-and, as he said himself, at St.
Helena, from that hour his fall began.
Josephine was divorced-but her love did
not cease: in her retirement, she joyed in all
his successes, and prayed that he might be
saved from the fruits of his foul ambition.
When his son was born, she only regretted
that she was not near him in his happiness;
and when he went prisoner to Elba, she
begged that she might share his prison, and
relieve his woes. Every article that he had
used at her residence, remained as he left
it; she would not let chair be removed.
The book, in which he had been last read
ing, was there with the page doubled down
and the pen that he had last used was by it,
with the ink dried on its point When her
death drew nigh, she wished to sell all her
jewels, to send the fallen Emperor money;
and her will was submitted to his correc.
tion.-She died before his return from Ell.
ba; but her last thoughts were of him and
France; and her last words expressed the
hope and belief, that she had never caused a
tear to flow She was buried in the village
church of Ruel, and her body was followed
to the grave, not alone by princes and gen.
erals, butby two thousand poor whose hearts
had been made glad by her bounty.
Her marble monument bears only this
inscription:
"EUGESE AND HoRTESsE TO JosEPHINE."

character and fate! and what a lesson to all

what human nature is when left to itself
Here you sit, in an obscure and comfortless
dwelling, sti1ed with snuff and supplied
with brandy;--you, who were once the
companion of Washington, of Jay, and of
Hamilton. Every good man has deserted
you; and even Deists, that have any regard
for decency, cross the street to avoid YOU"
He was then the most disgusting human
being that could any where be met with.
Intemperance had bloated his countenance
beyond descriptiOn.-A few of his disciples
who stuck to him through good report and
bad report, to hide him from the adherence
of mankind, had him conveyed to N. Ro-
chelle, where they supplied him with BRAN
dy until it burned up his liver.-But this
man, beastly as he was in appearance, and
dreadful in principle, still retained some
thing of humanity within the depratity Of
his heart like the gem in the head of the
odious toad. The man who suffered death
in his stead, left widow with two young
children, in poor circumstances. Paine
brought them all with him to N: York,
supplied them while he lived and left them
the most part Of his property when he died.
The widow and children lived in apartments
in the city by themselves. / saw them Of
ten, but never saw Paine in their company
and | am well assured and believe, that his
conduc towards them was dslnterested and
honorable:

THE FARMER.

There is not more independent being in
existence than the farmer.-The real farmer,
he who attends strictly to the duties of his
profession, who keeps every thing around
him snug and tidy, and who seeks every
opportunity to introduce such improvements
of the day as will tend I'd add beauty and
wealth to his farm. Such farmer is always
happy and Independent, and he lives as it
were in a world of his own, with nothing to
trouble him save the cares of his farm,
which by the way are considered rather
pleasure than otherwise. His mind is al
ways at ease, and the duties of his calling
are performed with good degree of plea
sure. When the tolls of the day are over
and ''night cometh," he takes his seat by
the domestic fire side, and whiles away the
evening in sweet converse with his little
family circle. The tolls of the day have
been, perhaps, rather arduous-but what
of that They are drowned and forgotten
in the evening. And then he feels sincere
pleasure on reflection, that while he rests
from his labors, his business continues to
flourish His crops are growing and pre-
pairing for harvest; his cattle, &c. are fatten-
ing ready for market anI every thing pros
pers. With such thoughts as these, he can
calmly resign himself to the nights repose,
and rise on the morrow with the returning
sun, refreshed and prepared for the duties
of another day.

When few centuries shall have thrown
their shadows upon the strange fortunes of
Napoleon, & given to every thing about him
the tinge of romance, the story of his wife
will seem to the studentrather fable; than a
fact; he will look up on her as we look upon
Mary of Scotland, but with deeper interest;
for she, far more truly than her lord, was
from first to last 'the child of destiny
Told, while yet unmarried, that she would
be wife, widow; and the Queen of
France-the entire fulflment of the first
part of the prophecy, gave her courage to
believe in the last part also when under SEN
tence of death. When her bed was taken
from her, because she was to die in the NOR
ming, she told her weeping friends that it
was not so, that size should yet sit upon the
throne on the ruins of which Robespierre
then stood triumphant; and when asked in
mockery, to choose her maids of honor,
since she was to be queen, she did choose
them, and they were her maids of honor,
when halfof Europe lookedu up to her. On
that night which was to have been her last
on earth, Robespierre fell. Had he fallen
a few days earlier, her first husband would
have lived; had his fall been but one day
later, Josephine herself would have been a.
mong the ten thousand victims, whose names
we have never heard:--But he fell on that
night, and her destiny was accomplished.
She married Napoleon, and through her,
and as her husband, he was appointed to
the army of Italy; step by step they rose,
till, at last, the crown rested upon her head:
the second part of the prophecy was pro-
we'd true, and she began to look forward to
that loss OF power and rank, which had also
been foretold, and which was to close the
strange drama of her life.

the prospective enjoyment of my farther

upon the victorious arms of his people,
From the height could see, clearly and

been the witness of that great interview be-

thunder and lightning, and a fearful qua
king ofthe mountains, the Almighty gave to
his chosen people the precious tables of his

TOM PAINE.
Extracted from the Notes of an Observer.

When Paine had fallen into disrepute, g.
was stunned by the most respectable of his
friends on account of his drunken habits,
he boarded in the house of one William G.
-, a farmer. This c. and being
acquainted, l had free access to the house
and frequently called to converse with Tom
Paine. One evening he related the follow
ing anecdote.
During the slaughtery of Robespierre,
when every republican that the monster
could get in his power was beheaded, Paine
was cast into prison, and his name was on
a list with nineteen, who were ordered for
execution next morning. Itwas customary
for the clerk of the tribunal to 90 round the
cells at night, and cross with chalk on the
back of the door of such of the prisoners as
were ordered for the scafold in the morn
ing. When the executioner came with his
guard to remove the victims, whenever a
chalking was found, the inmate of the cell
was taken forth and executed.
In the horrible shahbles there was long
gallery. The passage was secured at each
end, but the doors of the cell were left open,
and somtimes the prisoners stepped into the
rooms ofone another for company. 1t hap
pened, on the night preceding the day appoin-
ted for the doom of Paine, that he had gone
into his neighbor's cell, leaving his door open
with its back to the wall Just then the
chalker came past, and being probably drunk
crossed the inside of the cell door.
Next morning, when the guard came with
an order to bring out the twenty victims,
and finding only nineteen chalks, Paine be-
ing in bed and his door shut, they
took prisoner from the farther end of the
gallery, g. thus made up the requisite num-
ber.
About forty-eight hours after this aroci-
Gus deed, Robespierre was overthrown and
his own head chopped off, so that Paine
was set at liberty, and made the best of his
way to New-York.
l asked him what he thought of his almost
miraculous escape. He said the FATEs had
ordained he was not then to die. Says |,
" Mr.. Paine, I'll tell you what think
you know you have written and spoken
much against what we call the religion of
the bible; you have highly extolled the per-
of human reason when left to its
own guidance, unshackled by priestcraft and
superstition. That God in whom you live,
move, and have your being has spared your
life that you might give to the world living
comment on your doctrines. Your show

To young infdel, who was scofing at
Christianity, because of the misconduct of
its professors, the late DIR. Mason said: "Did
you ever know an uproar to be made because
an infdel went away from the paths of
morality!" "The infdel admitted that he
had not" "Then don't you see," said
Mr.. Mason, "that by erpeeting the profess
sors of Christianity to be holy, you admit
it to be holy religion, and thus pay it the
highest compliment in your power!" The
young man was silent.
