REMARKABLE ADJUSTMENT In the conspicu-
GUS position now occupied by the Sultan of Tur-
key and the Emperor of the French, some of
the public journals have directed the attention
of the community to the fact that both these
personages are grandsons of American creole
ladies. from the island of Martinique. One of
these ladies was Josephine, widow of Beauhar-
nais, by whom she had two children, Eugene
and Hortense. Napolean Bonaparte made jose
phine Empress of the French, but afterwards
divorced her, because he feared he would have
no successor to his name and empire. Now it
has struck lis as being one of those remarkable
adjustments often brought about in the drama
of life, that the grandson of this very divorced
Josephine now occupies the throne of France ;
and what is still more remarkable, that he in
herits the name and is striving to perpetuate
the glory of his uncle. Hortense married the
great Napoleons brother, and their son is the
present Louis Napoleon. Thus the great wrong
done to Josephine is partially adjusted and, in
spite of the policy which the uncle adopted,
there has been secured a successor of his name
in the splendid empire for which he fought,
lived, and died. In the way he did not intend
is France ruled by Napoleon, and that mis-
guided spirit which went wailing out of the
world at St. Helena, is doubtless now convinced
of that short-sighted policy and that stupend-
GUS and unfeeling wickedness which divorced
the lovely Josephine.-N. Y. Organ. FELIX.

DEFINITIONS OF A GENTLEMAN.--The late la.
mented Judge Tallourd, in a case tried at the
Bristol (England) Assizes, shortly before mis-
sudden death, thus defined the character of a
gentleman:
"The evidence proved that the defendant,
while in the theatre, had said to the plaintiff,
-'' Do not speak to me; | am gentleman,
and you are tradesman." Gentleman, p"
said the learned Judge, is a term which does
not apply to any station. The man of rank who
deports himself with dignity and candor, and
the tradesman who discharges the duties of life
with honor and integrity, are alike entitled to
it; nay, the humblest artizan, who fulflls the
obligations cast upon him with virtue and with
honor, is more entitled to the name of gentle
man than the man who could indulge in often
sive and ribald remarks, however big his sta.
tion.'' .......I ...

MORALS IN JAPAN.-The China Friend, in
speaking of Commodore Perry's negotiations
with the Japanese, remarks, that it has been
referred to, OBJ matter of surprise, that the
Japanese should have understood the policy of
the United States in regard to Mexico and the
Mexican war. This circumstance surprised the
Japanese, that after the Americans had con-
quered the country they then surrendered it,
even purchasing portion from the conquered
people, and paying for the same large amount
of money. This was not the usual method pur-
sued by conquerers !" We hope the Japanese
may never have occasion to entertain a different
idea of American policy and American magma
nimity. Would that no Americans, or foreign
ers of other nations, should ever visit Japan for
other purposes than lawful and honorable com.
merce, or some object of genuine philanthropy
then we might reasonably hope that the Japa-
nese would become an enlightened psople. II
the Japanese could be persuaded to pass the
&C Maine Law" and an " Anti-Opium Law, "
what incslculable evils it would prevent. We
hope the frown and indignation of the civilized
world will be invested upon the first Yankee
who carries thither intoxicating liquors. Let
the mark of Cain be stamped upon him. ie'
him be treated as an outlaw among the nations,
let him be classed among pirases---for ne woaio
deserve no other punishment than saaeo' :
murderer of the Japanese!

A PARABLE.-A venerable old man toiled
through the burden and heat of the day in cul-
tivating his field with his own hand, and in

Suddenly there stood a divine vision. The old
man was struck with amazemcnt. ~ am Sol

over the pulselcss shrine, lest it should melt the
frozen urn, and wither the precious and still
beautiful rose. Clustering vines twined their
fond tendrils around the loving heart-the whis-
pers of green leaves, and the sweet breath of
fragrant blossoms won it from sorrow g maze !;
and as the dark cloud slowly vanished sad MEM
ory wove leaf and bud and blossom in dense
imperyious veil above her sacred trust.
Spring flowers drooped apd died. Summer
came with her deeper green and richer dyes
with all her glorious dover Of sweet odors and
golden fruit; and her warm breath famed the
grateful heart, and her iantsunshine CLEANED
through the foliage-but not ray could reach
the ice-cntombed Spring flower.
The expanding heart grew light and cheerful,
and strong as it felt the summers genial glow
and listened to joyous biri-notcs but ever, in
its warmest throbbngs, one cold, puls'less spot
lay hidden in its depths. Many flower of
brilliant beauty and royal grace, looked on.the
scentless blossom in its crystal vase with an en-
vious sigh-for the dead rosc was still more
priced than the living, however beautiful and
rare.
Summer is waning-her loaded boughs glisten
with the pendant fruit, and larger and warmer
still grows the full heart, but its fondlyguartled
treasure never droops in the MONDAY sun, or
withers in the scorching breath. Autumn will
blanch the lovely tints and scatter the pale
leaves, when it has robbed their beauty; but
the mourning heart will not be wholly desolate.
One slender stem the Frost King cannot break,
and its dazzling crown he cannot .take away.
And when chill winter shall still the hearts
warm beating pulscs, proud and graceful as in
its sunnest day of living glory, shall bend that
beauteous rose and when the faithful heart
shall have reached the SUMMER cline its fi.dcless
flower will waken again to life and fragrance.

OLD PUTS DUEL.

How many anecdotes rife of the humor of

ted to those for whose freedom he fought with
such lion power and single-hearted purpose
Linked with many incidents in his heroic
life, are traits marking the cool self possession
the quiet humor, and love Of the ludicrous,
which seem to have been inherent with his
courageous daring. Could any one have looked
into the breast of the brave old soldier as he
galloped 50 fearlessly down the dangerous pass
at Horse Neck, swapping lis fingers at the dis
comfted loe-ten to one it would be found his
sense of the ludcrous at the moment overcame

Yet the pilot may reach port, at last,
Sheltered from storm and from every blast.

Boasts the human heart IL flower whose beauty
and fragrance will not perish in the winter of
life ia leaf that will not scar in the autumn
blast! Spring comes but once-its flowers bloom
not again; and well may we sigh when the first
young howeret droops and dies-it is the harbin-
ger of many lnore--it is often the dearest and
loyeliest of all. ed #
In the carly Spring-timc of life, in sunny
recess of warm young heart, sprang forth a
tender bud, which the Spring showers watered,
and the sunshine warmed, till it expanded into
beautiful blushing rose. Fondly the young
heart cherished its newly-io,nd treasure, and
nursed it with the tenderest care. "No wild
rose of summer ever shed sweeter per-
fume than did this solitary flower OF the heart,
80 kindly guarded from storm and tempest. And
tho young heart grew larger and warmer, and
the rich rose felt its glow, and its crimson petals
deepsned in their dazzling hue. Every ray OF
sunshine gave glossier green, and deeper flush,
and drew forth the sweetest fragrance from the
glorious flower.
But chill breath swept over the gladstone
heart, and with the dew drops yet trembling on
Its leaves, the sweet rose bowed to the storm,
and became rigid and cold Vainly the cloud
OF grief showered its heart-rain on the tender
blossom-ths clear drops mingled and formed a
crystal tomb for the precious treasure they could
not save.
Longer and brighter grew the days, and other
buds uniolded to the sunshine, and the young
heart learned to love and cherish them, but still
turned, with miser care to the lifeless Howe,
in its cold, cold grave. Not sunbeam was al
lowed to pierce the sable cloud which hovered

The Price Of WOO,.

The price of wool is quoted much lower now
than it sold for last year, and the report is indus
riousy circulated that the demand for wool and
the price, will be much reduced this year. No
one, however, can name any good reason for so
great reduction as is predicted. We believe
wool growers would do we'll to mold on while
before accepting the greatly reduced prices offer.
cd The wool buyers are comparatively few in
number, and can easily combine to circulate false
reports in relation to the demand for wool.
Our manufacturers need II ,00O, 900 pounds Of
wool to supply their machinery every year. OF
this seventy one million pounds, only about fifty
three million pounds are grown in this country.
Only three-tourths Of the wool manufactured in
this country is grown here; and only about one
third of the wool consumed in this country is
grown here. The rest is imported in the shape of
cloth or the raw material. There is deficiency
IN the wool crop of the whole world Tho sup
ply does not equal the demand, and never has
equalied it.
In the face Of those facts 10 one can believe
that there can be any very material reduction in
the price OF wool this season. There is no rea-
son Tor II. VA Vae contrary, there are some rea.
sons in favor or an increase of price. We nd
wise farmers not to be in hurry to dispose of
their stocks at the preseOt low fgures.--Pitts.

CLEAN UP.--Have we Board of Health among
US! lfso, how are they discharsing their duties.
One of the principal objects in procuring the in
corporation of this Village was that we might
have the means of promoting its health by thor
ough cleaning up each year, and yet this most
important business has been entirely neglected
ever since the corporation went into effect while
the immense taxes that have been levied, have
been, to say the least, devoted to less important
objects. Before we had a corporation and corpo-
ration officers, whose duty 1t is to attend to these
matters, the people used to feel interested in them
and sec to it that the work was done, and they
have been conscious of the advantage they derv-
ed therefrom.
The sickly season is just upon us, and the choI.
era is making its appearance in different locali-
ties through the country There should bO no
delay in providing against this terrible destroyer,
as we'll as other diseases incident to tho season,
BY thorough renovation OF the town. If we
have Board Of health let them go to work and
do their duty.
