Louis NAPOLEON.

We recently conyersed with an American gen
tleman who had just returned to this country,
after residence of several years in Paris. He
says that the French people generally, while
they regard the comp d'etat of Louis Napoleon,
as bold, high handed and unprncipled mea-
sure are nevertheless indisposed at the present
tine, to venture upon any ehange-apprehen-
sive that q new revolution would place the Red
Republicans, in power, and would plunge France
into fearful condition Of chaos, confusion and
civil war. They hope that the Prince President,
now that he has been sustained by so large a
portion of the population, will gradually relax
all measures of rigor, permit the return of all
the leading political exiles, exert himself to the
utmost to promote the arts of industry and
peace, and really and earnestly strive to soften
the prejudice which exists against him, in the
minds of the most of the leaders. The other
parties, moreover, the 0rleanists the Leeiti-
mists and the Moderate Republicans, are not
prepared for any new struggle, and hence would
rather have Louis Napoleon wher he is-each
believing that time viii come when a blow
may be struck with safety, for the success of
their particular principles and favorites. A
very large CLASS, Lciuu4nts llle SAophSepeTS, IHe
manufacturers, and the dourgeOtsie generally, are
anxious for repOse, almost at any price. They
are not satisfied with Louis Napoleon, and re-
gard his recent conduct as monstrously tyran-
nical. But they contend, better this than
worse. Better strong government than q
feeble. Better a usurper with the popular en-
thusiasm to sustain him, than feeble dynasty
with constant scenes of rapine and bloodshed
With reference to the opinions of the English
| and the Americans, they smile, shrug their
shoulders philosOphically, and beg to be permit
ted to manage their affairs. They say that
! they fully understand the disease, they know
the character, the whims and caprices of the
patient, and they are therefore better qualified
/ to treat him than one who lacks this knowledge.
and does not the facts as they are but who
judges from imperfect information and at dis
tant point We confess that there is something
in all this, and we may add that our friend an

regarded on all sides as by no means improba-

Mystery ofthe American Lakes.

Lake Erie is only 60 or 20 feet, deep, but the
bottom Of Lake Ontario which is 562 feet deep,
is 23O feet below the tide level of the ocean, or
as low as most parts of the Gulf of st. Lawrence;
and the bottoms of Lakes Huron, Michigan and
Superior, although their surface is so much high
err are all, from their vast depth, on level with
the bottom of Lake Ontario. Now, as the dis
charge through the river Detroit, after allowing
for the full probable portion carried off by eva
PoTation, does not appear by any means equal
to the quantity of water which the three upper
great lakes receive, it has been conjectured that
a subterranean river may run from Lake Supe-
rior to Huron, and from Huron to Lake Onta-
rio. This conjecture is by no means im7roba-
BILE, and accounts for the singular fact that sal
mon and herring caught in all thelakes COM
municating with the St Lawrence, but in no 9TH
ers. As the Falls of Niagara must have always
existed it would puzzle the naturalists to say
how these fish got into the upper lakes without
some such subterranean river; moreover any
periodical obstruction of the river would furnish
a not improbable solution of the mysterious fux
and refiux of the lakes
Upon this the editor of the Scientific Ameri-
can remarks;
''Are salmon and herring found in the lakes
and rivers above the Falls of Niagara? If so.
1t affords strong grounds for supposing there is
a subterranean communication between Onta-
rio and the upper lakes, if not, we can see nc
grounds for such a conclusion"

Negro Sentiments.

There is nothing more amusing than the cor
ruscatiOns of wit and humor which character
ize the sable children of Africa-''those images
of God cut in ebony ~ No matter where YOU
find thenl-it is all the same s'nigger will be
nigger"-whether in groups on the corners of
the streets, ''where darheYs most do congregate''
around the hearth in Sam Jonsing's cellar, or
in the sacred desk. It is rich-so unique and
so peculiar to hear genuine sable divine hold
forth ana give out his notions of things tempo
raj and spiritual.
Father s., who whilom did the expounding to
the colored Methodists in our good city, was
some of em'-and of ''most excellent fancy -
1t was rich to hear the old saint ''do up the
preachments in his quaint style. '.My bred

hortations, "lub an charity go togedder like a
yoke of oxen /; and jest you hitch on religion
too, make a spike team ont an dey will pull too

when you glib up de ghost, jest as slick as lie

Touching amusements, he told his flock that

he said, ''they might sing, but not the debil S

what dey were about, de fiddle would be brought

The quaintest thing of all, is this old father

From Ireland,

The tide of emigration continues to roll on
ward towards this country. The advices by the
last steamer states that hundreds, if not thous-
ands, are preparing to set out from the Old World
for the New. The Galway Mercury states that
so great is the anxiety felt by the poor laboring
classes in that part of Connaught to escape from
the Gland that bore them that such of them as
have been fortunate enough to obtain employ
ment on drainage work. have adopted the fol-
lowing novel and extraordinary mode ofenabling
themselves to emigrate: 1t appears they are
paid fOrtnightly, and when the pay night arrives,
about $50 of them assemble and pay sixpence
each into a general fund.
a lumber of tickets, corresponding with the
number of persons present, are then placed in a
hat, and on one of these the word America is
written all the rest being blank. A ballot then
takes place, and the lucky drawer of the prize
ticket has his passage TO America paid for him.
and receives small sum to subsist him for
some time after his landing there. During the
week just closed, no less than six vessels have
set sail for Queenstown, laden with emigrants
bound respectively for Boston, Quebec, New
York, and St. Johns. The gross number a
| mounted to 81 souls.

the efforts of the men of both nations, succeed
ed in giving the Immortal a tremendous lick
ing. So that the day that commenced so glori-
ously most ngloriously ended.
For many years after the Surrender" there
was coldness between the Deacon and the
Squire, but as time rolled on and their locks
became frosted DER with white, they learned to
call it '.joke." Both are living now, and
whenever they meet they smoke their pipes and
talk about ''that 'are scrape'' like couple of
good jolly old men, as they are.

A Broken Home.

short time since, we left the cherished idol
of our hearth-circle in the full promise fhealth
and life, and returned but to see him die I! Our
home is desolate, for its purest light has faded
out Willie is dead
OGod how we loved the boy. He was a
child of more than rare promise-a brave, beau
tiful, noble hearted being, and all manhood in
every pulse. His mind was almost masculine,
aud he wrestled with death, with the calm pa
tence and Judgment of maturer years.
Wonld that in the spring time he had gone to
and the leaf and tiny blade were bursting out
from their earth sleep to clothe the fields in
beauty. Bat it matters not. He wandered not
alone through the dark valley, sfor of such is
the kingdom of Heaven" The warm sunbeam
and rain drop of spring time, will deck the res
ing place of the little sleeper in smiles. Little
WILL he heed however, either sunbeam or cloud
on earth for there is no winter shadow in the
eternal summer sky of bliss.
Blessed hope that death is not an ''eternal
0eep. The beautiful tenement of a soul OF
'"o summers, will mingle with its pillow of
earth but in the silence of nighttime, we shall
"s'en to the tripping of little feet, and the low
nnlsperlng of silyery voice-to the sweet rus
'lhg OF two little angel wings, and feel the pure
touch Of tiny palm upon the feverish check

Aen out to bind us the closer to Heaven. Gods

n Graveyard and its Contents.
There lie Jewellers levelled, duns done up in

There are booksellers finally laid on their

Horizontally there lie upright politicians
Dos-a-dos with their patients sleep faultless
physicians;
There are slave-drivers quietly whipped under

There bOOk-binders, done up in boards, are fast

There the babe that's unborn IS supplied with

There men without legs get their six feet of

There lawyers repose, each wrapt up in his case;

There shoe-makers quietly stick to their last;
There brokers at length become silent as stocks:
There stage-drivers sleep without quitting their

About the world I've journeyed much,
I've travelled far and near,
And my experience is such
As YOU shall shortly hear.
I've seen the worst-rve seen the best,
OF $50 called human kind,)
Where all are busily in quest
Of what they never find
I've known o man who robbed the poor,
And yet was rich himself,
Who drove the beggar from the door,
With silver on his shelf
I've seen a Judge who justice sold,
Have heard gamester pray,
And knew O wife who did not scold
Upon washing day
A lass I've seen Just turned fifteen,
"a blossom partly blown,
Who really did not care L ween,
To be a woman grown.
Again. I've seen n Seedy maid,
fOh Godfrey be it sung J
Who did not seem the least afraid
At being reckoned young.
I've known a lawyer plead cause,
Who never sent a bill,
And known doctor (not of laws
Take his preScrlplloiI pliIs
Pye known tradesman speak the truth,
I've heard parsOn swear,
And knew haekman once, in sooth,
Who charged but lawful fare.
I've known a parson play at whist,
Who would not play at loo;
And knew an abolitiOnist
Who did slave pursue;
To lavish on his offspring wild,
miser hoard his gold,
And see a mother leave her child
For stranger hands to hold.
I've seen maiden who had slid,
Who had modest air,
And seen a belle who (seemlng) did
Not know that she was fair;
Once on a railroad twas my lot
To get passage ''free,
And on q steamer once L got
A decent cup of tea
and have seen once in my life,
A husband, be it known,
Who did not treat his neighbor's wife
Some better than his own;
And also seen-Ill be (don't wink
AS gentle as can
Some time ago, it was-I think
saw an honest man.

and correspondent of the Hnicker6ocker,) which
amused me. An old lady said
'When my father moved into the new count

between us.

you may be sure that will know at some day

''Weeks passed on, and nothing more was said
on the subject My father lived in log g-house,
which contained one room below and one above.
The children slept in the chamber One night
tremendous wind arose, and at midnight blew
off the entire roof of the house. My mother, a
Harmed at the crash, ran up the ladder and

SPITfING.-Ihe NeW 1ork Mlrror says the
following:
Splitting is vile American popularity. We
are q nation of spitters. If the man in the moon
were to visit us, he would think that we had all
been tasting something very offensive, or that
we were all affected by some loathsome disease
of the salivary glands. On our ferryboats one
is sickened by the condition of the floor Many
men spit about SO often, at any rate; ifany spe-
cial excitement embarrassment arises, they
increase the frequency. The splitting along the
streets is ludicrous and disgusting What if ev
cry third man was seen occasionally vomiting,
at the curb-stone! This would be but a step
further in the progress of indecency,
