ANECDoTE OF NAPOLEON
THE IMPERIAL PRESENT..
| The Emperor liked to have all who were
CONNECTED with him near ai hand, aud nl-
ways dslked extremely ever to be made To
wait. After working some length of time
with M. Real, he said,
Real, have you IA country seatr

Il cannot sire without selling nine aud
ono cannot sell piece Of property in u

Il ,lo not tell you to sell that, bur to buy
another. We must reconcile every thing.

You INNS, iuhale il a league from Paris; il

do honour to the bounty Of your gracious
majesty

chasers are wantiug.'
Examine we'll examine WELL

Who knows
J That evening NJ. Real received a presen
; Of five hundred thousand francs for the
purchase. II was in this way that he be
came the owner Of the handsome mansion
of Boulofine, now IN possession Of Baron
Rolhscbild.
PRornEcIEs.--W Within five years from the
date of this paper, there will not bs one
steamboat on the North and East Rivers,
and few, if any vessels, will be propelled by
steam power, either in this country or in
Europe. Within the same period, steam
power will be discarded from almost, if not
every kind Of machinery, to which it is now
applied. And yet the electro magnetic ma.
chimes Of Messrs. Davenport aud Cook
will not be those that will take the place of
steam engines. The new mechanical power
TO which we refer, will propel ships Of the
largest class, with as much speed as heir
structure can bear, or ut any intermediate
rate that may be desired.
Within the same period, navigators will be
enabled to ascertain their true latitude aud
loDgituded, on any part of the ocean, and
the distance aud direction of their daily
course, tn the G0lh part of n mile, without
leaving the cabin of their ships.
| Within the same period, new and extra
ordinary opinions will rapidly spread and
extensively prevail, respecting the primary
causes Of all the pbenomena Of mn,ter and
mind, and will reyolutionizc the present
system of instruction in most of the arts
ard sciences.
| Within ten years n mighty revolution will
occur in religious instruction., and new
views Of doctrines and facis recorded IN the
scriptures will be in notorious progress
throughout the Christian world. Men,
women aid childred, will possess, aud open
ly exercise many remarkable gifts now
deemed supernatural and seeming mira
clcs, but in reality, mere scientific opera
tions, will commonly be performed.
Within this period new aud chanting
light will be thrown upon the mysterious
events aud occurrences mentioned IN histo-
4 ry. The oracles delivered to the ancient
temples Of Apollo. Jupiter, and the other
heather deities, will be understood aud be-
lieved as will also that mysterious oracle
Of the Mosnic dispensatioo, the Urim and
4 Thumnim. The profound science Of re-
mote antiquity will revive, as will also pure
religion aud phlaahrophy. The civilized
world is ou the tbresb-hoIJ of q new era Of
knowledge, and consequently Of virtue and
happincss.-[N y. Era.
Starting Children in the World. Many
an unwise parent Iabors hard and lives
spariugIy all his life for the purpose of leuv-
ing enough to give his children start Ia
the world, as it is called. Setting young
man sfioat with nnnev left him by his rcla-
tives is like tying bIadJers under the arms
Of one who canno, swim--teu chances To
one he will lose his bladders aud go to the
bot,on.-Teach him to swim, aud then he
will never need the bladders. Give your
child n sound education, and you have done
enough for him. See to II that his morals
are pure, and his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made suI,servisnt to the laws
which govern msn, snd you have given him
