deeply afflicted by the consciousness that iu the

he dwelt apart from the sympathies OF his

Virginia estate. His correspondence abounIs
in illusions to the inevitable extinction Of the

than republican citizen Of the United States,
he looked up,n his Inc as one who had come

Female Ptety.

Why is it that women is more piOus in her be-
havior and actions than that sex who arrogate to
themselves the title of lords nd masters? OF the
fact that she is So there ample prooft. In the
churches ofevery city, we find the greater pro-
portion of the dvout worshippers to consist ofthe
female sex. The enterprise ofwoman has erected
houses of devotion, when the hand fuan was pal
sled towards the deed. Her persuasive voice, and
her interested demeanour, have prevsed upon
worldly minded husbands to contribute their mite
towards the erection of houses cousecrated to the
purposes of salvation The truth of it is, that true
religion consists more of love and affection than of
proud demonstration or naughty argument The
constitution of the female heart is turned towards
the gentlest Affection aud when the object is presen
ted to her she principally consults that faithful
monitor 10 good, generous and piOus deeds-a 10
mans beast.

Napoleon's Attempt to Pass the Red Sea

The author Of Eothen, or Traces of Travel, after
mentioning several specuatons rs to the point t
which the Irs elites passed the Red Sea, one of the
supposiuons being that they had traversed only
small creek at the northern extremity, near Suez
proceeds follows
'NapoIenn, when at Suez made an attempt to follow
the supposed steps of Moses, by passing the creek at
this point but it s,nccordipG TO the testimony Of
the people Sucz that he and his horsemen managed
the mater in a way more resembling tue failure of
the Egyptians tina. the success of the Israeles.-
According 20 the French account, NaFoleon got
out of the difficulty by that wsrrorlikC presence of
mind which served him well when the fate of ma
tions depended on the decision OF the moment. He
ordered his horsemcn to dsperse themselves in all
directions, in order to multiply the chances otfnd-
ing sha How water, and thus enabled to dis
cover line by which lie and his people were extri-
Gated The story tod by the people of Sucz is very
different. They declare that Napoleon parted f:om
his horse, got thoroughly submerged, and was only
fshed out by the people ou shore. bathed twice at
the point assigned to the lsraelites and the second
time that did so, choose the time of low water,
and tried to wade across, but soon found myself
out ofmy depth, nt least in water SO deep that
could only advance by swimming
