Bonaparte,s Early Poverty.

M. Timers, in his history Of the Con-
sulate, recites some very strange and pre-
viously unknown particulars respecting
the early life and penury Of Napoleon Bo-
naparle:
Ii appears that after he had obtained a
subaItern's commission in tie French ser
vice by his skill and daring al Toulon, he
lived some time in Paris, in obscure lodg-
ings and in such extreme poverty, that
he was often without The means OF paying
ten sous-ten cenls-lor his dinner, and
frequently went without anything at all.
He was under the necessity Of borrowing
sums and even worn out clothes, from his
acuuainiances He and his brother Louis,
afterwards King of Holland, had at one
time only coat between them, so that
the brothers could only go out alternately,
time and time about. AT this crisis, the
chief benefactor of the future emperor and
conqueror, "at whose mighty name tie
world grew pale" was the actor Talms,
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 lis lin-
esmenls, with projecting cheek bones.
His meagre fare brought on an UnPIeas-
ant and unsighily cutaDeous disease Of
type so vruIent and malignant, that it took
all the skill and sssiduity OF his accom-.
pishsd physician, Coruisart, TO expel il,
after duration of more than Ten years.

ments and imperial manlle--lhe hovel and
The palsce-the meagre fare and the gor-
geous banquet--lhe friendship Of a poor
actor. the homage and terror OF the world
= an exile and a prisoner. Such are the
ups and downs Of this changeful life, such
are the lights and shadows Of tie great
and mighty.

prevail upon her to take another article as
preferable, because not poisonous ; but
she declined, stating that All old woman
had informed her that what she wanted
was the best for the purpose. Subse-
QueNlly, when ii was ascertained that she
had taken the poison, and that her recov-
cry vas beyond hope, she made State
men, Of the reasons leading her TO the
act. She said she had been deceived,
under promise Of marriage, by a young
man named Wm. Sampson. She asser-
ted her ignorance of The fact that corro-
sive sublimale was deadly poisOn-said
she had not taken it TO commit suicide,
bot that she had done so at the instance
ami repeated persuasion Of Sampson, with
The object of producing an abortion. 10
making this confession she expressed her
willingness to die, and said she did not
wish her seducer disturbed. The de-
ceased was pretty girl, and was regar-
ded as Of an amiable character and dispo-
silon. The disclosure of her misfortune
produced The greatest surprise, and excl
ted the deepest sympathy for her bereav-
ed parents, who are in needy circumstan-
ces At The time of this deplorable oc-
currence, with which Sampson seems 10
be in grea, degree chargeable, he was in
| Leesburg. 1t was said that lie had
agreed on his return to marry his unlorIu-
nate victim. IL he had any reason 10 be-
lieve that she would administer 10 herself
the fatal poison, and knew its deadly ei-
fec,s, Of course he never expected TO fulfil
that promise. And strange indeed was
his return here on Tuesday last, after be-
ing advised of this calamity. AS soon as
his return became known warrant was
issued for his arrest. ard he was taken
into custody and lodged in Jail. Having
intima,ed an intention TO take his own
lie, he was searched, and the. necessary
precaution taken to foil the design if real
| ly entertained. By a called Court he will
have a preliminary Trial or examination,
on the charge Of felony, on Monday

Never speak Of child's faults or fol-
bes, or remarks before him; it is sure
way 10 spoil child.
Never reprove a child when excited,
nor let your voice be raised when correc-

Life.

Life is what we make it.. We can
bring up joyous images and indulge in
happy thoughts, or, on the contrary, make
every one around Ls unhappy and missra-
bile by our constant replning and lngrail-
tude. 1t is only in the proper use Of life
which has been given US, tina, We can hope
TO receive the blessing of the Lord. The
benehcenl Creator who formed the uni
verse, and made every thing in nature
subservIent to the use and delight OF man,
meant not that his gifts should be only
abused and perverted 10 crafty our evil
natures.
If the hear, is young and in lis youth
ful freshness, every object is pleasing and
delightful ; the earth trials have not yet
come upon the spirit 10 dsmPen lis ardOr
and check lis flow of happiness, but, with
advancing years, new responsibilities and
increasing cares devoIve upon US. and
deeper, purer resources of JOY must come
to satisfy our restless and aspiring ma
lures.
Then begin those ernest life-stfuggIes,
those ,empesls OF passion which, at times.
seem to rend the soul, but which strength
en- and nerve us TO endure the. changes
which must inevitably come upon US, II
permitted 10 remain long in this border

Oh why can we not keep The fresh
ness, the purity, tile artless innocence oi
our childhood, and not let increasing
cares and perPlexing trials corode he
heart, and close up those fountains Of liV-
ing truth and virtue. Life is real, and
every endeavor should be earnest, every
duty be performed in love and lailhfrl-
ness. Thus ouly can We attain TO that
heavenly kingdom, where ""brelhren

Execution OF Johnson.

Ihe execution oil James IL. Johnson,
for the murder Of his wife, at Rappahan-
mock Court House, Va, on Friday week,
has been already announced. The mis-
cradle man died ali awful death. as will
be seen by the following, taken Gom the
correspondence of the Wilmington ( n.
C.) Herald -
SAT o'clock, P. NJ, the prisoner was
brought from the jail under guard, accom-
panied by the Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff, and
Mr.. Carter, his guard while in Jail, the
prisoner on foot, i! being his desire 10
walk.
AI20 minutes past one they arrived al
the place of execution, and after adjust
ing the rope, the Sheriff asked the prison
Ter if he had anything TO say. With a
firm voice he asserted his innocence; said
he believed his wife was poisoned, bot
The deed was committed by one of dar-
ker race. (alluding to his woman servanl:)
that several of the witnesses had sworn
falsely, (mennoning their names, among
them LADY, and that all The evidence
had been vanished; that he was tried by
an honorable jury, condemned by an i'm
partial Judge; that the young lady impli-
Gated was not guilty of all Of which she
was accused. The Rev. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
then made quite an affecting prayer, and
bidding the prisoner farewell with a sol
emn benediclion, retired from the scene.
Up to his time, Johnson had appeared
perfectly calous to the proceedings, but
now when Miller was adjusting the cap
he irembed in every JOINT, and the Depu-
Iy Sheriff supported him until the cap
was properly fixed. As soon as the Off
GERS let bin 90 he threw himself immedi'
arely backwards as if trying 10 lie down
on the scaffold, but the rope being 100
short drew the moose around under bis
chin. The Deputy Sheriff turned back
10 place the rope in lis proper position, al
the same time telling him 10 stand up,
that il would be mpch better for him.
But he asked Miller to leave him. NJ.
then descended from the scaffold, and
touching the spring, let the door down al
IL o'clock. The position in which
Johnson had fixed himself, having drawn
he rope straight, he received no jar
whatever. bot jus, eased him down.
He could be heard breathing further off
han he could be heard while spesking
His respiration was audible for full FIVE
and he struggled violently for
ha, lenglh of time, when he appeared
more quiet. After hanging 90 minutes,
he physicians, Amiss and AlsoP, exam
ned him and found life not extinct, ow-
ing, as was supposed, 10 his having slip
ped the moose around next to his throat,
and his dying so hard is conjectured TO
have proceeded from The same cause. AZ
Ter hanging 80 minutes he was lowered !
some, and left hanging 10 minutes Ion
ger, making 40 in all, when he was low
cred into his coffin, and submitted TO the
are of his nephew, who took him to his
ormer residence, kept him "a honrs in
ropes of his revival, and finally buried

Yes, brother, we have missed thee. Oft
Since thou hastIefl our home.
The room and chair are vacant now,
We used TO call your own.
Your laugh so ligh. aud gladstone falls,

Upon the evening air,
We sigh, dear absent one

When night her stable mantle hath

Then oft we speak, and wonder if
You're found in duty'S way,

Who daily for you pray
And brother when you're tempted from

Say doth a whisper greet your ear!
"a mother dear would mourn"

At morn and night she ne'er forgets
For me, her son to pray
Her eyes alas are growing dim,

And soon they'll pierce thy inmost soul

And prayed that God might bless his sol

Health of Women.

No LADY ever lived who was not fond
of being admired, and proud of being
thought handsome. What OF that, they
have a right TO be so; and, indeed, we
think itno sin, should they themselves
have an.intuilive knowledge of the Tact.
An erroneous idea exists with many
young ladies', that beauty can exist with
out health, and TO become paie and det1'
cate is a condition to be desired; the
thought Of wearing the Stout, robust aP'
pearance of health is SHARPLY ridiculous
Such foolish notions are almost invariably
productive of premature wrinkles, grey
hairs, decayed teeth, dull eyes, and bad
complications. Does the pale and deli
cate hue of the fading rose compared IN
lovellness and beauty 10 the pure. rich
blush Of the full blown rose, .baskIng IN
the suns warm rays, and slipping the
mornings early dew !
Health TO all things gives beany-l'
gives brightness to the eye, clearness 10
the voice, beauty's color TO the cheek,
elasticity to the step, activity to the mind
and smoolhness to the temper. Ii brings
a happy, merry laugh, and heart fall OF
ioy and love. Instead, then, OF pickles,
candies, cosmetics, pomalums, etc., etc.
exercise in the sun and the open air, hunt
wild flowers, and drink the sweets OF ma
lures music-lbe ruslIings Of the forest
leaves and the melody of myraids Of birds
walk in thick shoes, rise early, take a
bath, and walk a mile ,eat moderately, and
neither exercise or read for all hour after
wards, but laugh and talk Then read, laugh,
waltz, or sew.-Med. g. Lit Ueekly.
