Napoleon ia Battle.
FROM LAMAErISEs HISTORY OF THE REsToRA1

FROM LAMAHrINES HISTORY OF THE RESTORATION.
At the first rumor of the Empcrors return to
Champagne, the Austrian army, as if seized
with panic at n single name. had retreateo by
every roan from the walls Of Paris, as far as
Troyes and Dion The Emperor of Austria
fearful of being surrounded. even in the midst
of his troops, took refuge at Dion. Alexander
and the King of Prussia had got beyond Troyes
These sovcrigns, magniying the danger by the
memory of so many former defeats, and fearful
Of snare in the very heart of France, which
had fallen with such apparent facility into
their Lands, agreed to send to their respective
plen'T,'ientaries, at the Congress of Chatilon,
the most pressing instructions to effect al peace.
Had the Emperor had timely notice of these err
rors, he cou d have signed peace on European
basis, at the moment that his own empire was
fading beneath his feet but he wa, ignorant OF
these terrors. Alarmed on his own part at the
masses crowding down upon him, he retreated
towards Arci>sur. Aube, where he unexpectedly
came in contact with the army of Schwartzen-
burg. sanguinary battle ensued, unexpect-
edly by both generals, Det"een the french anu
Austrians. Napoleon fought at hazard. with
out any other plan than the necessity Of fight
ing, and the resolution to conquer or die He
renewed in this action the miracles of bravery
and sang jroid of Lodi and Rivoli; and the
young soldiers blushed at the idea of deserving
a chief who hazardrd his own life with such
invincible courage. He was repeatedly seen
squirting his horse to gallop against the en-
emy's cannon, and re-appearing as if inaccessi-
be to death, after the smoke had evaporated.
A live shell having fallen in front of one of his
young battalions. which recoiled and wavered
IN expectation of the explosion, Napoleon. to
eassurc them, spurred his charger towards
the instrument of destruction. made him smell
the burning match. waited mistaken for the
explosion. and was blown up. Rolling in the
dust with his mutilated stccd. and without a
wound amidst the paudits of his soldiers. he
calmly demanded another horse, and continued
to brave the grape shot, and to fly into the
thckest of the battle. His guard at length ar
rived, and restored the fortune Of the day.

Kelsey's Alternating Bee Hive.
Patented Man 9Th. lS46.

LIVERY family should be in possession of
IL these hives; the only hive ever constructed
wherein success is certain in cultiyating bees,
and obtaining a rich reward of honey for little
trouble Over 10000 bee culturists have them
now in use, and every one that has adhered to
the directions which accompany the hive, never
have failed of success; the hive can be placed
in small yards in towns and even be PLACED in
the windows Of houses and the bees can work
just as well as if they We're in an open field
the alternating principles of these hives are
such that honey can be taken away without
disturbing the bees. The young sw arm can be
taken away with their nursing bees aud placed
in the centre of new hives which prevents that
much dreaded trouble of swarming in the old
way; swarms can be wintered on s or 3 lbs OF
honey as well as 30 or 40 lbs of honey in the old
way. The Bee-moth and other insects are pre-
vented from disturbing the swarms, the exami
nation of these hives at once will convince any
man of experience in the culture of bees, thai
they are the very ones that have been needed
for years, as they work with the nature Of thu
bee,
J. 8. NEGBY, having purchased the right o
johnson county, is prepared to furnish all wh'
shall! want an article Of this kind. A model o
the hive can be seen at Swans Hotel,

The MaelstrOlll.

The melstrom is current or motion of the
sea of Norway, the effects of which are no less
singular than dangerous. Between Locoden
and Moskoe the depth of water is between
thirty six and forty fathoms when it is flood ;
the stream runs up the country with bolster
Gus rapdity, and the roar of its impctuous ebb
towards the sea is scarcely equalled by the
loudest cataracts, the noise being heard seve-
raj leagues off, and the vortex SO powerful as
to absorb every ship that comes within its at
fractions. 1t is then beaten TO pieces against
the bottom and when the water is smoother,
its fragments are thrown up again. But these
intervals of tranquility happen only at the
turn Of the ebb and flow, and last but a quar-
ter of an hour. Whales frequently come too
near the stream, and are overpowered by its
violence. 1t is then impossible to describe
their howlings and bellowings in their fruit
less attemps to discourage themselves. A bear
once attempting to swim from Lofoden to
Mo,koe, to prey upon the sheep in that Island
was caught by the stream and borne down
whilst lie roarcd so terribly as to be heard on
shore. In the year l645, the stream roared
with such noise and impetuosity, that on the
island of Moskoe, the very stones Of the houses
fell to the ground.

Only a Trine.

That's right" said to my friend Simp-
kins, the baker, as the sickly looking widow OF
Harry Watkins went OUT Of his shop door with
a loaf of bread which he had given her-"that's
right Simpkins: am glad you are helping the
poor creature, for she has a hard time Of it
since Harry died, and her own health failed
her"
Hard enough, sir, hard enough; and / am
glad to help her, though what give her don't
cost much-only a trife"
"How often does she Gomez"
"Only three times week. l told her to
come oftener, if she needed to, but she says
three loaves are plenty for her and her little
one with what she gets by sewing.
"And have you any more such customers,
Simpkins?"
"Only two or three, SIR
.'Only two or three; why, it must be quite a
tax upon your proftsT

or it amounts to only ahiae.
could not but smile as my friend repeated
these words; but after left him, fell to think
ing how much good he is doing with "oniiy a
trHe." He supplies .nrec or four families with
the bread they eat from day to day; and though
the actual cost for year shows but small
sum IN dollars and cents, the benefit conferred
is by no means small one. A sixpence to a
man who has plenty to "eat and dirk, and
wherewithal to be clothed" is nothing, but:.i
something to one OH the verge of starvation =
And We know not how much good we do

AccrOss tlae River.

About six years ago, says clergyman Of
New York city, was travelling on the borders
of the Hudson, and on the most beautiful por-
ton Of that noble stream, where its waters seem
to rest against the Highlands Of Fishkill, and
from the Ncwburg Bay. was riding on the
western shore. dotted with elegant country
seats, and SO elevated as to command a fine
view Of the opposite country of Duchess. Pas
sing substantial mansion, observed carri-
ages standing around the entrance, and a
hcarse, that plainly indicated the occasion OF
the gathering. 1t was something more than
curiosity-it was the dictate Of natural sym
pathy, that induced me to stop and minglc
with the multitude. r- gu. s..
1t was easy to learn from the first whom
addressed that young man, the son of parents
now advanced in life, was to be buried. The
clergyman in attendance was just closing his
remarks when stopped at the door; after
short but eloquent pause in the services-foi
silence is always eloquent in the house OF
moarning-the afflicted father rose, and over
coming the emotion with which he struggled
spoke few words to the friends that surroun
ded him. Said ne
ga few months ago, one Of my sons remov
ed to the other side Of the river and resides on
the shore in view Of the spot where we are as
sembled And now find that my thoughts
are over there more frequently than they wer'
before. have long had friends there whom
loved, and had an interest in the people, bu
l had no son there but since that child ha
been resident beyond the river, my heart
there often, and love to be there. So it ha
been with me during few days that have pas
scd since this other son crossed the river @
death, and as trust, has entered heaven. NJ
thoughts are often there now. True, | has
friends there before-a father there-but ha'
no chi d. Now have an interest in heaven
such as never felt till one of my children wen
there to live.'
