NAPoLEoN's ADVICE TO AYoNNG AMERI-
CAN. You soon depart for the Western, and
for the Eastern hemisphere. A new ca.
rcer of action is now opened before me, and
hope to unite my name with new and great
events, and with the unrIvalled greatness of
the republic: you go 10 unite yourself once
more with people among whom behold
at once The simple manners of the first ages
of Rome, and the luxury of her decline !;
where see the taste, the seasibility and sci
ence of Athens, with her factions; and the
vaor Of Sparta, without her discipline. As
a citizen of the world, l would address your
country in the following language; Every
man and every nation is ambitious, and am
btion grows with power, as the blaze of
vertical sun is the most fierce. Cherish,
therefore, national strength-strengthe
your political nstirutions-Iemcmber that
armies and navies are of the same service in
the world as the police in London or Paris,
and soldiers are not made like potters' ves-
sells, in minue-cuhirate union, or your
Empire tciH be like a colossus Of gold. fallen on
the earth, broken in pieces, and the prey Of for
eign and domestic Sdrdcens. If you are wise,
your republic will be permanent; and, per-

THE CRoCUs' soLILoQUY.
BY MISS H. F. GOULD.

Down in my solitude, under the snow,
Where nothing cheering can reach me-
Here, without light to see how should grow,
trust to nature to teach me.
I'll not despair, nor be idle, nor frown;
Though locked III so gloomy dwelling!
My leaves shall shoot up, while my root S run
ming down,
And the bud in my bosom is swelling.
Soon as the frost shall get off my bed,
From this cold dungeon to free me,
will peer up with my bright little head;
All will be joyful to see me!
Then from my heart will young petals diverge,
Like rays of the sun from their focus;
When from the darkness of earth shall emerge,
All complete as beautiful CRocUs!
Gaily arrayed in gold, crimson and green,
When to their view have risen,
Will they not wonder how one SO serene
Came from so dismal prison:
Many. perhaps, from so simple flower
A wise little lesson may borrow:
If patient to-day through the dreariest hour,
We shall come out the brighter tomorrow !!

A little boy named Frank, was standing

This is the way that great many boys

The boy that was brought before the

other nice things that were put away.
Next he began to take things from his
companions at school. He gotagoing and

CAUTION TO COUNTRY PEOPLE. Don't
send your money to New York TO buy lot
terry tickets. you do, you will surely be
cheated. Every lottery ticket seller in this
city, is beyond question a cheat. All the
tickets sold are Of so mysterious character,
that no considerable prizes are ever drawn.
In word, these tickets are made to sell, and
not 10 draw prizes. We have repeatedly
cautioned our readers against these disgrace
ful swinders, and yet we hear every day Of
new victims. The pick-pockets and mock
auctioneers of our city, are saints by the side
of these lottery fellows. The former may
take good swad of your money but the
latter will leave you utterly bare, without
the remotest chance to retrieve your fortune
For the 2lst time we say, beware of all lot
lery ticket sellers in New York.
In explanation of the above, we would re-
mark that tickets are frequently sold here,
purportng TO be some particular Delaware
or Virginia lottery, when in fact no such
lottery as the one announced has an exs-
tence-all being a pure invention of the
maker and seller of the tickets Wilson'S

BIBLES. At the period of the American
Revolution, it is estimated there were but
four hundred millions of Bibles in the world,
though, at the same time, this country had
population of three millions, and Great Rri-
tain of fifteen. In the French Revolution it
is said that not a Bible could be found in the
bookstores of Paris, and their sale was pro-
hbited in Rome. Now that same book has
been translated into nearly all the languages
of the world, and is being rapidly scattered
everywhere. TIE American Bible Society,
since its incorporation, has received in dona-
tons, nearly four millions Of dollars, has is
sued six millions Of copies of the Bible and
Testament, and has made translations into
one hundred and thirteen different languag-
es and dialects. The British and Foreign
Bible Society has done far more than this.
