OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-

degree of interest hitherto unknown. They

ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises
be furnished by the historian at future day, The
American Publishers, therefore, deem 1t proper TO
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered to
subscribers. The following is their list viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views, mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England--Tory, Wing, and
Radical. .Blackwood'' and the I" London quar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal. The
!" North British Review owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and s not ultra in it's views any one of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his sonin- law, DR.. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. It's literary
character is Of the very highest order The "West-

last there came call, as familiar to their
enemy as themselves, and sliding from the
fence, they silently struck out for the
forest.
As the evening wore on, and darkness
covered the earth, Ogle left his conceal
ment, aud started for the fort. His limbs
were quite rigid from retaining one pos
ture SO long, and his fingers seemed like
sticks.
He reached the fort in safety, just a.
his friends were starting out in force to
search for him.
A few days after his race, he started
for Illinois, which he reached in safety,
and settled in .Ridge Prairie," where he
lived to green old age, and died lament
ed by numerous relatives and friends
Around his memory sre entwined many
pleasing recc1ections.
His remains now rest in the burying
ground of Shiloh- Valley, near the flourish
ing town Of Relleville.
Other names in the history of our coun-
try may be inscribed higher upon the
scroll of fame, but a truer heart never
beat in human breast than that Of Joseph

Temperance Triumphant in the National
Capitol. accidentally met, this morn
ing, Mr. John Fl. w. Hawkins, the we'll
known Baltimore Washingtonian," who
has Just returned from leciuring tour at
theWest and South. He related tous an in
ci,lent which occurred last week at Wash
inston, through his agency-being the en-
tire Punishment of intoxicating liquor from
the Capitol which will commend him
more warmly than ever to the temperance
community; and, in so far as it may have
an effect towards peaceable Legislation, he
deserves the thanks of the whole country.
Mr. Hawkins being satisfied from ap-
pearances that liquor was sold somewhere
in the building. notwithstanding assuran-
ces to the contrary, he on Monday Of last
week searched out the eden of iniquty."
1t was located in the cellar, in place
originally prepared for coal or ashes. and
was kept by man named Butler, from
Texas, who obtained permission from the
Vice President, on application OF certain
honorable Senators, to vend refreshments, 3,
ardent spirits being expressly prohibited.
6tlt Wnen tne veteran teeloidtleT cal
led for "oysters," the keeper unwit-
tipgly set trap for himself by insinnating
in whisper that lie also kept something
else" Brandy was then produced, which
Mr. Hawkins paid for and quietly bottled
up, and with this "evidence in his pocket"
reported the fact TO Mr. Fillmore. On
Wednesday last, the Vice President sent
the Sergeant t-at-Arms 10 summon Butler
before him, when the fellow stoutly denied
that he had at any time violated his con-
tract by keeping liquor--that he was
s'abore the business &c. Mr. Hawkins
now refreshed his memory hy relating the
"oys,ers and brandy" incident in tone
something louder than Whisper, and ex-
hibited the identical liquor purchased OF
him. Butler looked at this, as if he wish
ed he were back in Texas, and the Vice
President kindly gave him "leave TO with
draw" thither, or elsewhere. There is
now no liquor sold in the Capitol--thanks
to the moral courage Of Mr. Hawkins

Early Days OF Napoleon.

Theirs, in his "iIistory oil tho Consul
ate" relates some yer, strange and pre-
yiously unknown particulars respecting
the early life and penury of Napoleon
Bonaparte. 1t appears that after he had
obtained subaltern's commission in the
French service, and after he had done the
State good service by his skill and daring
at Toulon, he lived for some time in Paris
in obscure lodgings, and in such extreme
poverty that he was often without the
means Of paying ten sous 3D. for bis
dinner, and frequently went without any
meal at all. He was under the necessity
Of borrowing small sums, and even worn
out clothes, from his acquaintance! He
and his brother Louis, afterward King of
Holland, had at one time only one coat be-
tween them, so the brothers could only go
out alternately, turn and turn about. At
this crisis the chief benefactor OF the fu-
,ure Emperor and conqueror sat whose
mighty name the world grew pale" was
the actor Talma, who often gave bin food
and money. Napoleon's face, aflerward
so famed for its classic mould, was, dur
ing this period Of starvation, harsh and
angular in its lineaments, with projecting
cheek bones. His meagre fare brought
on all unpleasant and unsightly cutaneous
disease, of type so virulept and malig-
nant, that it took all the skill and assidui-
ty Of his accomplished physician, Cor
visart TO expel it after duration Of more
than ten years. The sqnalid beggar then,
the splendid Emperor afterward-the
tbreadbare habiliment, the imperial mantle
the hovel and the palace-the meagre
food and the gorgeous banquet the friend
ship Of poor actor, the homage and the
terror of the world An exile anda prison
er-such are the ups and downs of this
changeable life, and such the lights and
shadows of the great and mighty.

Wonderful Sagacity Of Dog.


One day, when Dumont, tradesman Of
the Rue St Denis, Paris, was walking in
the Boulevard 81 Antoine with friend,
he offered to lay a wager with the latter,
that if he were to hide six livre piece in
the dust, his dog would discover and
bring it to him. The wager was accepted,
the coin secreted, after being carefully
marked. When the two friends had pro-
ceeded some distance from the spot, NJ
Dumont called to his dog that he had lost
something, and ordered him to seek for it.
Cuniche Immediately yturned back, and his
master and his companion pursued their
walk to the Rue St Denis. Meanwhile,
a traveller, who happened TO be just then
returning in small chaise from Vincen-
nes, perceived the piece of money, which
his horse had kicked from its hiding place.
He alighted, took it up, and drove to his
inn, in the Rue ontaux-Choux. Caniche
had just reached the spot in quest Of the
ecu when the stranger picked it up. He
followed the chaise, went into the inn, and
stuck close to the traveller. Having
scented out the coin which he had been
ordered 10 bring back, in the pocket Of
the latter, he leaped up necessarily at and
about him. The traveller, supposing him
to be some dog that had lost or been left
behind by his master, regarded his differ
ent movements as marks of iondness and,
as the animal was handsome, he deter
mined to keep him. He gave him good
supper, and OH retiring to bed, took him
with him to his sschamber. No sooner had
he pulled off his breeches than they were
seized by the dog. The owner, conceiv-
ing that he wsn,ed TO play with them,
took them away again. The animal be-
gan to bark At the door, which the travel
er opened, under the idea that he wanted
to 90 out. Caniche snstched up the
breeche., and of he flew. The traveller
posted after him with his night-cap on,
and literally sans culoties. Anxiety for
the fate Of a purse full Of Gold Napoleons
Of forty francs each, which was in one OF
his pockets, gave redoubled velocity to
his steps. Caniche ran full speed to his
masters house, where the stranger ar
rived q mo,n-n, afterwards, brea,h'e>s and
enraged. He accused The dog OF robb'ng
hm. ssSir," said the master, "my dog is
very faithful creature and if he has
run away with your breeches, it is be-
cause you have in,hem money which does
not belong TO YOU" The traveller became
still more exasperated. Compose your
self, sir,' rejoined the other, smiling
"wiihout doubt there is in your purse a
six lvre piece, with such and such marks,
which you have picked up in the Boule,
ward St Antoine, and which l threw
dow there with the firm conviction thai
the dog would bring it back again. The
strangers rage now yielded TO astonish'
ment he delivered the six livrs piece
which he had deposited in his purse, ca
ressing the dog which had occasioned him
SO much uneasiuess and such and unpleas'
ant chase.

love my country's pine-clad hills,
Her thousand bright and gushing rills,
Her sunshine and her storm
Her rough and rugged rocks that rear
Their hoary heads high in the air,
In wild fantastic form.
love her rivers deep and wide,
And those bright streams that sea broad glide,
To seek the oceans breast;
Her smiling fields, her fertile wales,
Her shady dells, her pleasant dales,
Her haunts Of peaceful rest.
I love the forest dark and lone,
For there the wild birds merry tone
Is heard from morn till night;
And there are lovelier flowers, ween,
Than e'er in Eastern lands were seen,
In varied colors bright.
Her forests and her valleys fair,
Her flowers that scent the morning air,
Have all their charms for me;
But more love my country's name,
Those words that echo deathless fame,
And sound from sea to sea.

Mans Work shall Follow Him.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
We shape ourselves, the JOY or fear,
Of which the coming life is made, ,
And ill our futures atmosphere
With sunshine or with shade.
The tissue Of the life to be,
We weave with colors all our own,
And in the field Of Destiny
We reap as we have sown.
Still shall the soul around it call
The shadows which it gathered here,
And painted on the eternal wall
The past shall re-appear.
For there we live our life again
Or warmly touched, or coldly dim,
The pictures of the past remain:
Mans work shall follow himl

with cold Indifference by the very men
and the very party which ought to have
been the fore most tosustain and defend it.
With the people, the administration is now
more popular than it was on the day ofits
inauguration; but it appears to have few
defenders in Congress. General Taylor,
in his California message, laid down a
platform, on which the people of the whole
Union could stand with safety and with
honor. And had the party in Congress,
instead of setting up new schemes and in
venting new compromises, rallied upon
the administration platform, the whole of
our difficulties would, ere this, have been
settled. Can it be that miserable jeal-
ousies operated to withdraw from the ad-
ministration the support to which it was
entitled? Were there Aickering hopes Of
the succession still alive, to induce this
personal action, detrimental to the success
Of the administration, and the best hopes
of the Wing party? If SO, those hopes
are doomed to be disappointed. They will
be blasted forever, and the rule thus sur
reptiously sought after, will be from them
"Wrenched by an unlineal hand,
No son of theirs succeeding.o
The true policy of the Wing party from
the beginning, has been to give to the ad
mini>tration Of General Taylor firm and
hearty support, and so far as we have in-
fuence that influence shall be exerted to
sustain the honest and wise policy Of Cen
eral Taylor. There is moral sublimity
in the present position Of the brave old
hero Of Buena Vista. He has sustained
himself in every point of his duty, and
while the elements of wrath rage around
him with all their wildness and fury, he
stands firm and elevated, the only man in
Washington TO whom all interest and all
sections Of the country look with conf
deDce and hope. We have much more TO
say on this subject, and We shall avail our
selves of all early opportunity to urge its
importance upon the country. Amid the
ambitious schemes for the succession, the
merits ofthe administration have been lost
sight of. 1t shall be our duty, as it is our
pleasure, to draw the attention Of our peo-
pie to that which we believe TO be the true
policy, not only of the North, but OF the
whole country. We sound the alarm, in
hopes to draw back the attention of the ma
ton TO the true state of affairs, both as re-
CARDS the miserable action Of Congress
upon the slavery question, and the wise
and conciliatory conduct Of the admins
tratior.
We do not wish our people TO consider
us as aIarmists, nor do we mean TO be un-
derstood that the case is now lost for the
North. We know that there is reason to
fear. Still we have hopes-strong hopes,
Of ultimate success. But our hopes are
based upon the action Of the House. We
have pcwer left there yet. There is moi
I representative from New England of any
party, that would SO far misrepresent the
sentiments of his constituents as to vote
for Territorial bill without the ordinance
Of 1857 being attached to it.
