Ronanarte,

Count Montholon's book on Bonaparte
has lately been republished. We are in
debted to the good taste of the editor of
the Boston Post, for an extract from it,
which he has lately spread before the read
ers of that paper, and which cannot fail
TO awaken feelings that all ought to cher
ish. The extract we refer to, is one of
those conversations In which Bonaparte
not unfrequently INDUCED, we'll calculated
to open the window to his heart, and in
which we may feel we'll assured, he spoke
with the utmost sincerity.
What recollections," said he, :" crowd
upon my memory when my thoughts are
no longer occupied here (St. Helena) with
political topics ana iocal Vacations am
carried back TO my first impressions of the
life of man. 1t seems to me always, in
been the happiest man in the world, with
$4,000 francs a year, living as the father
of a family, with my wife and son, at our
old house at Ajaccio. You remember it,
beautiful situation. Happy hours = the
native soil has infinite charms. Memory
embellishes it with all its powers, even to
the odor of the ground, which one can so
far realize TO the senses as to be able, with
the eyes shut, TO tell the spots first trod
den by the foot of childhood Come and
place your hand upon my bosom - See
how it beats ~ And true it did beat with
great rapidity.) sit is like the sound of
hell" added he "There ie mono hero,
(St. Helena) i am no longer accustom-
ed to hear it. The sound of a bell never
strikes my ear without carrying back
thoughts of my youth. The Angelus bell
led me back to pleasant reyeries. when in
the midst of earnest thought and burden
ed with the weight of an imperial crown,
| heard its first sound under the shady
woods of st. Cloud; and often have |
been supposed to be revolving the plan of
"a campaign or digesting an imperial law,
when my thoughts were wholly involved
in dwelling upon the first impressions of
my youth.

WHAT TEMPERANCE CAN d

WHAT TEMPERANCE CAN DO.
In Mrs Halls book on Ireland, occurs
the following passage, which a person
will hardly read without emotion:
1--WE entered one day cottage in the
suburbs of Cork; young woman was knit
ting stocking ut the door. 1t was as
neat and comfortable as any in the most
prosperous district of England. We tell
her brief story In her own words as nearly
as we can recall them. NV husband is
a wheel-wright and always earned his
guinea a week; he was good workman,
bat the love for drink was strong in him
and it was not often that he brought me
home more than five shilIings out of his
one pound on a Saturday night, and 1t
broke my heart to see the poor children too
ragged TO 20 to school, to say nothing
of the starved lool; they had out of the
little could give them. Well, God be
praised, he took the pledge, and the next
Saturday he laid twentvone shillings upon
the chair YOU sit upon Oh didn't give
thanks upon my Bonded knees that night?
Still was fearful 1t wouldn't last. and |
spent no more than the five shillings |
used to. saying 20 myself. that the money
will be more wanted than it is now. Well
the next week brought me the same. and
the next, and the next, until eight weeks
had passed: and, glory to God there was
no change for the bad in my husband; and
all the while he never asked me why there
was nothing better for him out of his ear
/ nlngS, 50 felt there was no fear for him.
and the ninth week when he came home
. 10 me, | had this table bought. and these
SIX cilairS, one for himself, four for the chill
T dren, and one for myself; and the chill
/ dren all had new clothes and shoes and
stockings, and upon his chair put a bran
new suit, anduPon his plate put the bill
aud receipt for them all, Just the eight
sixteen shllllngs, the cost that | saved out
OF his wages, not knowing what might
happen, and that always went for drink.
And he cried, good lady and good gentle
man, he cried like baby, but twas thanks
TO God and now where's a healthier man
than my husband in the whole county of
Cork, or happier wife than myself. OF
decenter OF better fed children than our
own.

CHEAP POSTAGE.

Much has been said = much has been
written, upon the subject of cheap post
age; and yet we fear there is~altogether
too much apathy upon the subject the
public mind has not yet become sufficient
ly alive to the Importance of this question.
1t is true, much has been gained by the
advocates of this reform many points
have been conceded; but yet our law
makers have doled out the changes only
after many years continued and perseve-
ring agitation, and then very stintedly
so that, though they may have taken some
forward steps in this reform, they have
been so measured, that when properly
considered, they amount to but mere
commencement. We are by no means
disposed, so far as we are concerned, to let
the matter rest where it now is, without
raising our voice, and throwing whatever
of influence we possess, in the scale Of
progress, the scale Of right. We are well
satisfied that the reform we are advocat-
ing is entirely feasible; it is one that
would benefit Government, as we'll as the
individual citizen; and we are among
those who believe that Government is
bound, as far as possible, by its acts, to
m eliorate. the condition of all It's subjects
- to tighten - not increase their burdens
and when respectful petition is present
ed, involving civil rights, that petition
should be respectfully considered all the
arguments presented in its favor should
be treated fairly and candidly, and if the
desired aid can be given consistently, then
we maintain our rulers have no alterna-
tive but to grant the boon sought. We
would not have 1t considered that we enter
upon this discussion with partisan spirit.
Far, very far from It, We seek solely
the public good and in speaking of the
opponents of this reform, we mean TO in
clude all, of whatever section or party
We well remember h ow this question was
treated when first presented to our aciSe
SOlons at Washington = how ungraciOus-
" 1t was received, how unceTemoniously
they treated the respectful prayers of their
constituents. When the people asked
and had perfect right to expect their CO.
operation, they were repeatedly treated
most cavalierly, and that too by men who
made loud professions of regard for the
rights of the people. We know these men
Il ]
ture viii properly appreciate their Uer1
I disinterested professions
We said much has been gained, and II
/ one sense this is very true and On the
+ principle that " revelations never go back
ward" we may well say something Ia

see why Congress IN its wisdom saw f
