INFLUENCE OF SYLVAN SCENERY.
BY PROFESSOR LoNGFELLow.

I love the city and its busy bum; love
that glad excitement of the crowd, which
makes the pulse beat quick-the freedom
from restraint--the absence of those curious
|eyes and idle tongues which prosecute you
in villages and provincial towns. love the
country, too, in its season; and there is no
scene over which my eye roves with more
delight than the face of summer landscape
dimpled with soft, sunny holIows, and smi-
ling in all the freshness and luxuriance of
June. There is no book in which l read
sweeter lessons of virtue, or find the beauty
Of quiet life more legibly recorded. My
heart drinks in the tranquility of the scene;
| and never hear the sweet MARBLE of bird
| from its native wood without silent wish
that such cheerful voice and peaceful
shade were mine. There is beautiful
moral feeling connected with every thingin
rural life, which is not dreamed of in the
philosophy of the city: the voice Of the brook
and the language Of the winds and woods
are no poetic fiction. What an impressive
lesson is there in the opening bud of spring!
Il What an eloquent homily in the fall Of the
lautumnai leaf! How well does the song OF
la passing bird represent the glad but transit
TORY days of youth! and in the hollow troo
and hooting owl what melancholy image
of the decay and imbecility of old agel la

Your voiceless lips, flowers, are living preanh-

days were passed in resolves and counter
resolves--and then the link that bound him
to fortune was broken. Josephine was di-
vorced; and as be said himself at 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
ard when he went prisoner to Elba, she
begged she might share his prison, and re-
lieve his woes. Every article that he had
used at his residence, remained as he left it
she would not leta chair be removed. The
book that he had been last reading 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 correction. She died
before his return from Elba: but her last
thoughts were of him and France, and hel
last words expressed the hope and belief
" that she had never caused single tear to
flow.' She was buried in the village church
yard Of Ruel, and her body was followed to
the grave not alone by Princes aud Generals
but by two thousand poor, whose hearts had
been made glad by her bounty.
He's marble monument bears only this
inscription:
EUGENE AND HoRTENsE TO JOSEPHINE.
What fund for future writer's is her cha
racter and fate. and what a lesson to all o
US, whether IN prosperity or adversely.

Can alter decree established;
ST will be recorded as precedent;
And many an error, by the sa me example,
Will creep into the State. 1t cannot be.''
All government is an evil-but It is an
evil necessary for the convenience and sup
port of society; and that government is the
best which sits lightest on the people; which
is administered in the most economical man.
ner, and which is the least likely to become
oppressive. The form of government is,
undoubtedly, the happiest and the best, for
a virtuous and intelligent community, which
is based on the selfevident principle, that
all power should originate with the people.
But ambition is a passion deeply engraft-
ed in the human mind lit calls forth all that
is great and noble and much that is debasing
and wicked-"by that sin, angels fell"
Every man is DESTROYS Of gaining distinction
among his fellow men. Every man is ma
turally despotic-and will exercise what
ever power and influence he may possess,
to do good or to do evil, to the full extent
and not urfreqnently he will assume pow
er to which he has no claim. Instances of
this may be seen every day among all class
es of citizens, from the boatswain Of a mer-
chant ship to the Commodore of seventy
four-from the peace officer of a country
village to the President of the United States.
Men in Offices should be closely watched
They are the servants of the people, and
should be regarded by them with jealous
eye. If they exercise prerogative which
does not belong to them, precedent is es
J tablished, of which their successors viii
] eagerly avail themsclves-and which may
; lead to ruin. How many liberal monarch
} les have in this way gradually been CONVEX

Republics have been enslaved, by suffering
the Chief Magistrate gradually, almost in
!: perceptibly, to add to the power vested i
him by the laws!
Machlavel, whose authority on this subjec

MILITARY WoMEN.-Bulwer assures US
that women have been in al! the conflicts

Dumourier had at one time for his aids-de-
camp, two delicate and accomplished wo-
men, who delighted in the bloody scenes of
war. Often in the most desperate crisis of
the battle, said general, have heard their
slender but animated voice reproducing
flight, and urging to the charge; and you
might have seen their waving plumes amid
the thickest of the fight. After the battle
of Waterloo, there were found among the
dead bodies several Partisan girls, who hae
gone forth with their paramours, and actual
ly fought in their company. Nor was thi:
an uncommon event. "One morning." say!
Mr.. Scott, "when passing through the Pa
lais Royal at Paris, saw one Of these wo
men dressed in military costume, with boots
spurs and sabre. No Frenchman assumed

which gives full satisfaction TO It's purchasers
Dr. Hunt has the satisfaction Of knowing, that
his Pills are not ouly recommended and pre-

IN their daily practice, but also taken by those
gentlemen themselves. whenever they feel the
symptoms Of those diseases IN which they well
know them to be efficacious. He knows thi:

an important discovery, the introduction Of Sa-
60 in the manufacture Of bread. Ii was first
introduced in Edinburgh, where il seem, il met
with most favorable reception. both on ac-
count OF its good qualities and its cheapness,
and afterwards in London.
II appears that the bread in question is COM
posed Of three-fourths Of wheaton -four, and
one fourth of fine sago. and which enables the
baker TO make much better loaf as cheaper
rate. The baker who first introduced this
bread, after its quality had borne the test OF
public opinion, had upwards of five thousand
applicants in one day, and the Edinburgh pa
pers are now tecming with adverisenents from
all the respectable bakers, Of "Sago Bread"

Audubon, whose noble work Oh American
Ornilhology does so much honor to our
country, is about to undertake a work on
the Quadrupeds of America. In this de-
pnrtnent of zoology less has been done, we
believe, than M thai in which Mr.. Audubon
has acquired so much regulations; for his la
bors in ornithoogy had been preceded by
the very mcritorIous researches and collec-
tions of Wilson. But in regard 10 our
Guahrupeds, nothing at all complete or sa-
tlsIactory has been done. Godnan's work
is u very hagty and imperfect compilation.
Mr.. Audubon has entered upon his new
project with all the Ordor of his character,
He will set out in few days for the north
western regions of the union, to study and
observe the habits Of animals in their native
forests, and to make collections for his
work, which, judging by what has already
come ! rom his hands, will prove magni-
licent one.
