NAPOLEON AND THE RUSSIAN
SLAVES-A LESSON FROM HISTORY
FOR THE PRESENT DAY,

Early in the Summer of 1872, Napoleon
Bonaparte commenced the invasion of the
Russian Empire. His army was furnish
ed by France and his Italian and German
allies and consisted of 100000 men,
Many of these were veterans who had fol-
lowed the great chieftain through the VIC
torious campaigns Of former years. The
different corps of the Grand Army were
commanded by the most celebrated Mar
shals of Franco-Ney, Murat, Macdonald,
Prince Eugene, St. Cyr, Victor, Regnier,
Davoust, Augereau, Poniatowski, Mortier,
&c., &c. There were over 10000 cavalry,
l,400 pieces of artillery, over 10000 car
riages and baggage wagons, and innumera-
Bile herds of cattle. There were scores of
kings and princes and mobiles attached to
the army. Napoleon placed himself at
the head of this vast and magnificent host,
and commenced the march over the inhos-
pitable wastes that stretched, for thous-
and miles, between him and the ancient
capital Of the Russian Cars. The CAM
reign involved the fate of France and her
emperor. Napoleon entered on it with
eAtr.n'e reluctance, although he appears
never to have doubted a successful and
happy result. At no period Of his event.
full. and wonderful career, had he occupied
a position of such amazing power and
grandeur. His fame filled the world
His unrivalled genius commanded the
homage of all nations. He had succeeded
in breaking up the grand alliance against
France. The Italian States together with
Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and the
confederation of the Rhine were now his
Jealous allies and friends. The last blow
was now to be struck at the power of i'm
placable England; and Russia, whose
alarming encroachments menaced the
peace of Europe, and the safety of France,
was to feel the weight of that arm whose
vengeance she had provoked. All Europe
gazed with amazement and awe at these
prodigious movements. The fate of
France and Napoleon depended on the re-
suit. If successful, the repose of Europe,
the safety of France and the integrity Of
the Empire were assured; if unsuccess-
full; France was at the mercy OF the
crowned despots, who had deluged the

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-In the noun
tains of Tyrol, it is the custom for the
women and children to come out when it
is bedtime and sing their national songs
until they hear their husbands, fathers
and brothers answer them from the hills
On their return home. On the shores of
the Adriatic such custom prevails
There the wives of the fishermen come
down about sunset and sing melody
After singing the first stanza, they listen
awhile for an answering melody from off
the water and continue to sing and listen
till the well-known voice borne on the wa
tiers, telling that the loved one is almost
home. How sweet to the weary fisher
man, as the shadows gather around him,
must be the songs Of the loved ones at
home, that sing to cheer him; aud how
they must strengthen and tighten the
links that bind together those humble
jewellers by the sea

g. A military officer being at sea, in
dreadful storm, his lady, who was sit
ting near him, and filed with alarm for
the safety of the vessel, was so surprised
at his composure and serenity, that she
cried out; "My dear, are you not afraid
How is it possible you can be so calm in
such storm ~ He arose from chair
dashed to the deck, and supporting him
self by pillar of bed place, he drew
his sword and pointing it to the breast of
his wife, he exclaimed, care you not
afraid p She instantly replied, ''No, GER
tainly not" "Why?' said the officer.
Because" rejoined his lady, 81 know

aarA good deacon, away up in Maine,
recently, in addressing Sabbath school,
made point by the following anecdote
"Children," continued the deacon, "you
all know that l went to the, Legislature
last year. Well, the first day l got to
Augusta, took dinner at the tavern
right beside me at the table, sat member
from one of the back towns, that had new

fore his plate was dish of peppers, and
he kept looking and looking at them; and
finally, as the walters were mighty slow
in bringing on things, he up with his
fork, and in less than no time he bounced
down on one. The big tears came into
his eyes, and he seemed hardly to know
what to do. At last, splitting the pepper
into his hands, he laid it down by the side
of his plate, and with voice that set the
whole table in a roar, exclaimed, "Just
lie thar and COOL"
