him. No sobs escaped him, but silent and mo.
tionless he sat, his psllid face buried in his
hands, and his noble heart wrung with agony.
Darkness drew her curtain over tho scene, and
the Stars came out one after another upon tho
sky, and, at length the moon rose above the
hills, bathing in her soft beams the tented host
while the flames from burning villages in the
distance, shed lurd light through the gloom
and all was cad, n,ournful, yet sublime There
was dark cottage, with the sentnels at the
door, in which Duroc 10y dying, and there, too,
was the solitary tent of Napoleon, and within
the eowed form of the Emperor. Around it,
at distance, stood the squares of the old Guard
and nearer by, silent group of chiettans, and
over all lay the moonlight. Those brave SOL
diers filed with grief to see their beloved chief
borne down with such sorrow, stood for a long
time silent and fearful. At length to break the
mou,uful silence. and to express the sympathy
they might not speak, the bands struck up a
requiem for the dying marshal The melan-
cioly strains arose and fell in prolonged echoes
over the field. and swept in soNcned cadences
on the car Of the fainting warrior-but still
Napoleon moved not. They then changed the
measure to n triumphant strain, and the thrill
ling Humpe,s brea,hed forth the most joyful
notes, till the heavens rung with the melody.
Such bursts of music had welcomed Napoleon
as he returned flushed with victory till his eyes
knded in exultaton but now they fell on u
dull and listless ear. 1t ceased, and again the
mournful requiem filed all the air. But no.
thing could arouse him from his agonizing re.
1ec,icns--his friend lay dying, and the heart be
loved more than his life, was throbbiug its last
pulsation..
what theme for a painter. and what eu.
logy on Napoleon was that scepe. That noble
heart, which the enmity Of the world could net
shake-nor the terrors Of a battlefield move
from its calm repose--nor even the hatred and
insults Of his, at last victorious, enemies hum.
be here sunk in the moment Of victory be.

NEysP POSTAGE.

The Union of Saturday night publishes an
official certified copy of the law of the last SEES
sion of Congress- regulating the postage on news
papers. An error had been made in the pubIi-
cation of the law. in the punctuation, SO that u
read as if all newspapers not cent from the Office
OF publication wers to be carried free Of postage
in the mall willis: those seat from the Office Of
publication were to be cLargsi postage. As the
from the Office of publication must pay three
cents each. and the postage must be prepaid. or
the postmaster will not send them.
Another important correction has been made
by the Po,,n ,ster ,ner al in g,rl to the con-
struction put by him on this llw. He issued.
after the law passed, circular requir-
ing all ptpers to be prepaid ,hit were not sent
from the oil OF pabiic s,ion to su5seribers. Tho
words to subscribers was an interpolation OF his
own, there being such worl in the law. He
has now issued another circular, directing post
masters to forwarl in the nail all newspapers
sent from the of;c Of puiica.i7a with out reference
to tn. preparing Of postage.
The reasonabIeness of this distinction between
transient papers sent by in ivijuais and single
papers sent from tho oil .e Of publication, will
be understood by every one who has ever had
any thing to do with newspaper publishing, where
cases continually arising requiring that single
papers should be sen, to particular, iniiviiua!s--
in the of distant advertisers, to let them
that their advertisements have been published.
