Rather uif6euIt TO Please.

| wish to give you few items as to the recep-
ton our new preacher has met IN our circuit,
together with some hints as to the opinions for
med respecting him. He reached here in good
time after Conference, went to work Immediately,
and has continued at his post up to the present.
l have taken some pains to inquire as to what
the brethren think Of him, and now beg leave to
report - in part"
Brother A. thinks he does not read and study
enough.
B. says he reads and studies too much, and
has too little to say in the families where he
stops.
c. is of the opinion that he does not seem suf-
ficiently inclined to visit the different families Of
his charge.
d. is very free to give it as his opinion, that he
is too much disposed to ego about" thereby
neglecting the Scripture injunction, "Go not
from house to house"
Z. rather inclines to the opinion that he is
naughty and reserved.
F. is satisfied that he is too light, and too much
disposed to frivolous conversation.
G. shakes his head significantly, and thinks
he is too particular about his dress, and rather
dandy-like.
H.-who, by the way, has several Every nice"
daughters, and is herself very particular-de-
cares he is too careless about dress, and not suf
ficiently neat and tidy.
I. is too much inclined to think his sermons too
long to be profitable.
J. is sure they are too short for he scarcely
gets sound asleep they are finished, (you need
not tri this Iowe US Brother j. does not like
for people to know that he sleeps in church,
K. believes that he tries to make show Of
| learning and uses too many big words
! L. AYERS that his language is too ''common-pla-
| ced," low, and almost vulgar.
NJ hopes he will do pretty well, but thinks he
does not exhibit quite enough interest in the
Z. temperance reform"
N is satisfied he will get along finely, provided
he will let temperance alone, and preach the
Gospel
| O. is wonderfully put out, because he speak;
SO low that he can scarcely keep awake during
the sermon.
P. says he speaks entirely too loud-in fact h
hoIlers and bawls."
Q. modestly suggests, that if he expects to d
any good this year, he must say nothing abou
money matters, but just go on '' in the old-fash
ioned way" preaching and holding class meet
ings.
r. thinks there is no hope for him, unless h
will say very little about class meetings, and no
be strict in matters of discipline, as was tn
preacher we had last year.
S. i1clines to the opinion that he is too muc
disposed to preach ON eontroverted points sue
as baptism, and the ike, and thereby disturb
the unity that exists among the different sect'

Bonaparte's Poverty in Early Life.

NJ. Thiers IN his history Of the consulate, re-
cites some very strange and previously 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, by his skill and daring at Toulon
he lived for some time in Paris in obscure lodg-
ings, and in such extreme poverty that he was
often without means of paying ten sous (ten
cents) for his dinner, and frequently went with
out any at all. He was under the necessity of
borrowing small sums, and even worn-out clothes,
from his acquaintances! He and his brother
Louis, afterwards King Of Holland, had, at one
time, only coat between them, so that the bro
thers could only go out alternately, time about.
At this crisis, the chief benefactor Of the future
emperor and cenqueror, ''at whose mighty name
the world grew pale, - was the actor Palma, who
often gave him food and money. Napoleon S
face, Afterwards so famed for its classical mould,
was, during that period OF starvation, harsh and
angular in its lineaments, with projecting cheek
bones His meagre form brought unplea-
SAINT and unsightly cutaneous disease, of type
so virulent and maglignant, that it teok all the
skill and assiduty Of his accomplished physician
Corvisart, to expel it, after duration Of more
than ten years.
The squalled beggar then, the splendid empe-
ror afterwards-the thread-bare habiliments and
emperial mantle-the meagre food and gorgeous
banquet-the friendship of poor actor, the ho-
mage and terror of the world-an exile and pri-
soner. Such are the ups and downs Of this
changeful life such are the lights and shadows
of the great and mighty.

Our Country,

In l765, the corner stone Of our present Capt.
tol at Washington, in whose honor the new seat
of government was named, oficiated Sixty
years afterwards, viz on the 4th of July, 1852,
the corner stone of an extension of the buildings
was laid, and the Secretary of State made an ad-
dress, IN the course of which he presented a
sketch of the comparative condition Of our coun-
try ct the two periods:
Then we had fifteen States, now we have thir-
ty-one.
Then our population was three millions, now
it is twenty-three millions.
Then Boston had eighteen thousand people
now it has one hundred and thirty-sx thous-
and.
New York had thirty thousand, now it has five
hundred thousand.
Then our imports were thirty-one millions,
now they are one hundred and seventy-eight mil
lions.
The area of our territory was .then eight hun
dred thousand square miles, now it is three nil
lion, three hundred thousand.
Then we he'd no railroad, now we have four
thousand miles Of it.
Then we had two hundred post Offices, now we
have twenty one thousand.
Our revenue from postage was one hundred
thousand dollars, nov it is five millions, iye hun
dred thousand.
These are only few facts going to show the
rapid growth OF our country: and what we and
our children have to do TO secure the continu-
of it's prosperity, IS to love, fear, and obey
the God Of our fathers TO avoid intemperance,
pride, contention, and greediness of gain, and q
just sense of obligation to those that shall come
after us.
