LOUISIANA PENITENTIARY.-We called at the Peni-
Tertiary on Tuesday evening and were conducted
through all its apartments by Capt Hayden who has
long been connected with the institution and who is
retained as Captain Of the Police by the present
lessees The square was cleared Of all the rubbish
and had the appearance of being swept daily. The
eating arrangements have been entirely changed,
Formerly the prisoners cup was placed upon small
table in the cell room where they marched in single
fle-each one taking his food and proceeding to his
cell, where alone he ate. Now the old hemp factory
is converted into dining room, and long rows Of
tables set, with comfortable seats for each The
table is supplied with plates and dishes, knives and
forks, soup tureens ETC. The prisoners are marched
to their seats, where enough are detailed to act as
walters. Here they are allowed to sit and eat as long
as they WISH to rise until the triangle sounded
then all march out to their work. unless it be supper
then to their cells The negro convicts are similarly
provided for in another building. The tables furni-
ture ETC.. looked very neat. To our mind this is the
Hayden s.ys since this change has been made by
the lesses the prisoners are much more cheerful,
work better, and keep better order than he ever be
fore knew them to do. He s of the opinion it will
be attended with the greatest blessings, morally and
physically t0tliem

and well arranged. -Four sentry stands of brick arr

NAPoLEoN's CONSEQUENTLY French EN-
peror has long had particular literary project in
petto which Qke everything else that he is concerned
n) is to be worked out at the public expense. This
is the collection and publication under proper editor
ship, of the entire correspondence of the First Napo
leon Including private as well as public epistles,
there said to be between 10000 and 10000 IN.
doubted Napoleon letters scattered over the world
Nearly all of these can beobtained or certified copies
of them, and the whole collection, strongly marked,
nearly every separate letter is, with the writer's
characteristics cannot fail to be full Of interest as
Importance. Competent persons have been engaged
since January2ls52, in hunting up, deciphering, ar
ranging transcribing and annotating this vast
Of public and private correspondence. Already nearly
Is 900 separate letters have been fairly copied out,
and this is Justly considered breaking the back
of the undertaking. For writing bad hand at the
commencement, Napoleons became nearly illegible
as he advanced in years. He had so much to do
that he scarcely formed his words sometimes making
syllable or two represent entire word, and some
times leaving sentences unfinished The whole col
lection, which will be published, is likely to fill
about fifty octave volumes, sOlidly printed. To pro-
vide for the expense though there be little doubt
that the sale will be remunerative, there has lately
been granted out of the public treasury of France,
the sum of 100000 francs $50 ,O00) and it is prom
ised that the first five volumes will contain Napoeonc

God made the heart with every chord
Responsive to His love;
To cheer, to bless, and keep His word
Like angel hearts above!
Twas made to feel for others woe,
Life's sorrows to beguile;
To soothe the tears the wretched know,
And bid the mourner smile.
Twas made to be the charm Of earth,
Where all affections meet;
Where every human bliss hath birth,
And every hope is sweet.
Twas formed the weak aud sad to aid,
To bid misfortune flee
