DEVOTION TO MARS.
The subjoined outburst of devotional enthu-
siasm, according to the Monitew dePAymee, pro-
Ceeded from the lips of Lieutenant PanOndu
Hazier, commander Of the transport LicOrne, at
the head of pi grimage made by his crew to the
temporary tomb of Napoleon |, at st. Helena, on
the anniversary of the birth Of that benefactor OF
Europe and mankind -
This God Of Battles had his agony aud his Calvary
terrible ma ss wasn none of GS cam
while recollectng that this God Of Battles has had his
resurrection"
The resurrection of Lieutenant Hazier's God of
Battles was one such as, before the Anatomy Act,
used to be accomplished by our resuuectonists.
Il consisted in the removal of his remains to
FIance-a sufficient paradise for such divinity
The pious Leutenants Christianity is evidently
that of the War Christians. He seems TO con-
found the God of Battles with the Prince Of
Peace. Apparently, he considers the God of b IT.
ties TO have been embodied in the form Of Napo-
leon l. and he makes the mistake Of worshipping
that God of Battles Let us hope that he will fad
out his mistake in time.
sHAKEsPEARE's LIBRARY.
"Shakespeares books, it seems, are being dis
covered in various directions. His Prayer
Book is reported to have turned up somewhere
In Wales, and II is probable that he took It with
while on the journey be took TO get up facts about
the Welsh lady In Henry ". He was very par
ticular about going 10 church, as must be clear tC
all students Of his history and writings. Tbt
Dramatic Authors Society have good hopes oil
discovering his Boyer's French Dictionary one
of these days. We trust also TO hear of the re
coVeTy Of his Book Of Cab-fares' which, as il
well known, suggested to him the line in Macbeth

last bradshaw is destroyed, az least we have NJ
evidence that the poet initiated the one careful
man of our own time, who binds his old Brad
shaws' but his Euclid from which he drew thu
beautiful image in the Winters Tale, about 'tht
Angle that plucks our son thither, may yet b.
heard Of and we shall rejoice with unfeigned JOY
TO learn that his Book of Etiquette has reap

Lord Palmerston and Mr.. Gladstone may boil
