NapOleOn's C1sar.

The following is an extract from Empe.
ror Napoleon's life of Cesar, which has
just been published. The author in speak.
ing Of Caesar, says:
His lofty stature and his finely moulded
and well proportional limbs impaired to
his person a grace which distinguished
him from all others. His eyes were dark,
his glance penetrating, his complexion
colorless, and his nose straight and some
what thick. His mouth was small and
regular, and the lips, rather full, gave to
the lower part of his face an expression Of
kndlneas; while his breadth of forehead
indicated the development of the intellec-
tual faculties. His face was full, at least
in his youth; but in the busts which were
made toward the close of his life his feat
ures are thinner, and bear the trace Of
fatigue. His voice was sonorous and vi
brating, his gesture noble, and an air of
dignity pervaded his whole person. His
constitution, which at first was delicate,
grew robust by sober living, and by his
habit OF exposing himself to the iEcrmcn.
cy of the seasons. Accustomed from his
youth to manly exercise, he was bold
horseman; and he supported with case
privations and fatigucs. Habtually alb
stemious. his health was not weakened by
excess of labor, nor by excess Of pleasure.
Nevertheless, on two occasions once at
Cordova, and then at ThapsuS-he had a
nervous attack, which was enormously
thought to be epilepsy. lie paid particu-
lar attention to his person, shaved with
care, or had the hairs plucked out he
brought forward artistically his hair to the
front Of his head, and this in his more ad-
vanced age served to conceal his badness.
lie was reproached with the affectation Of
scratching his head with only one finger
for fear of deranging his hair. His dress
was arranged with exquisite taste. His
gown was generally bordertd with laticiam
ornamcnted with fringcS to the hands,
and was bound round the loins by sash
loosely knotted-a fashion which diStn,
guished the elegant and cheminatc youth
of the period. But Sy liza was not deceived
by this show of (rivolity, and he was wont
to recommend that people should have an
eye on that young man with the flowing
sash. He had taste for pictures statues,
and gems; and he always wore on his fin.

ENCoURAGING PROSPECTS. Mr.. Amasa
Walker, Of Massachusetts,, wiseacre
among the abolitionists, has given to the
world his vieEs on "Peace, Prices and
Prospects" He considers the prospects
for the future briliant'T To show the
brilliancy to which he cxuitantly points,
we extract the following
The nation is involved to an enormous
amount. Every State, every county and
every town has accumulated debt to an
extent before unheard Of
This fact must greatly influence the
future. Taxation will be heavy, contin-
uous and pressing. 1t will bear with
great force on the masses Of the people.
Their consumption of wealth, and ofcounse
their trade, must be restricted. What a
man pays in taxes he cannot expend for
clothes. Every expenditure must be cur
tailed to meet the demands of the ineyita-
BILE tax.gatherer. The result will be that
ordinary consumption will be less aBd
extraordinary consumption more. Those
who pay the taxes must buy less; those
who receive the public dividends will be
able to buy more. There will be lees
low-priced and mere high.prieed goods
sold; more luXures and fewer necessaries,
proportionally, than before the war.
The Crisis through which we are now
passing is destined, whether fortunately
or unfortunately, to assimilate the nation
to European civilization. The great debt
which we shall create will probably never
be paid, nor ever xepudiated The ma
tioRs of Europe do not pay debts-thsy
pay interest. They cannot pay the prin-
cipal because their current revenues are
required to meet the interest, carry on
government and prepare for war in time

Such is our destiny so faras Al present

FIGHT YoUR WAY Up.-The many who
have to take the world rough and tumble
are prone TO envy the Few who roll
through 1t unjOlted, in cushioned vehicles
on patent springs. The toiler as he STUN.
bles through its thorny thckets, and
limps over its foot blistering gravel, is apt
to curse the i'll luck that placed him on
such hard road and to sigh for seat in
one of the splendid equipages that glide
so smoothly over Fortunes macadamized
turnpike Born with a pewter spoon in
his mouth, he covets the silver one which
was the birth gift Of his do nothing neigh
Dor. The more fool he. Occupation is
the immediate jewel of life. 1t is true
that riches arc no bar to eXertion. Quite
the reverse, when their uses are properly
understood. But the discontentcd work
cr, who pines for wealth without being
willing to labor for it, regards the idleness
in which it would enable him to live as
the acme of temporal happiness.
lie has no idea of money as 3 great mo-
tive power, to be applied in enterprise
that give healthful employment to mind
and body. All that he desires is to live
feather bed life to loaf luxuriously.-
We have no sympathy with such sensuous
longings, People who indulge in them
never acquire wealth. They lack the en-.
crgy to break their way to the worldly
independence of which they yearn and
whine. They don't know how much
more glorious it is to tear affluence from
opposing fate by main strength Cf will |
and inilexibility of purpose, than to re-
ceive it as q windfall. There is infinitely
more satisfaction in conquering fortune
with brain and muscle, than was ever ex-
perienced by "lucky heir" in obtaining
the golden store that some thrifter hand
had accumulated. Your accidental Croe.
sus knows nothing Of the pride of success
of the honest eXultation with which the
self.made man looks back upon the i'm
pediments he has overcome, and forward
into the far future which he has earned
the right to enjoy.

NEGROES ALLOWED To VoTE.-We learn
from our Atlantic exchanges that leading
Abolitonists are in favor of granting the
right Of suffrage to negroes. They ig-
more the fact that the one or two hundred
thousand of them residing in and about
the towns and cities in the North, are not
a safe standard by which to judge the
other three or four millions. The house
servants and those brought up in the
towns and cities are, to some extent, cul.
tivated, enlightened by example and
precept. These are apt to learn and
quick to adopt the feelings and customs
Of the whites; but we must not deceive
ourselves by Judging the masses by these.
The greater proportion of the three or
four millions of plantation negroes are
naturally indolent and have no aspiration
higher than the qualification of their ami
NAL appetites, and it would he dangerous
to bestow upon them the elective fran
chise. AS c general thing they are not
quick to learn the mechanic arts, and to
think that they could vote intelligently
on questions of national policy is simply
absurd. They could be made power for
mischief in the hands of ambitious dema-
gogues, and ambitious demagogues would
be apt to cultivate their friendship and
control their votes. From the tone OF
leading Republican papers we are satisfied
that the question will be presented to the
people for their discussion and decision
at no distant day, and we notice it now to
prepare them for the discussion. 1t must
come, for the men who are in favor of the
measure are talented, influential and re-
solved to carry their point; they are
leaders Of the party in power and under
stand how to secure the success Of their
measures,no matter how,odious they may
be to the people.

HARD UP FOR CAPITAL. - 1t is said there
are men so hardened and debased as to
coin the tears of the widow and orphan
into gold-so lost to humanity as to spec
slate upon the blood and anguish of their
w-men--but the creature who seeks
in this hour of national bereavement to
profit by the murder Of the President in
making political capital out of the fearful
crime, is thousand fold morS malignant
and unSerupulous.

WORTH REMEMBERING In these days
of conquest and surrender, it may be
worth while to remember with what dis
gust much of the civilized world looked
upon the British incarceration and treat
ment of Napoleon on the island of st.
Helena. That dark spot in which fallen
giant threw himself voluntarily on the
generosity Of an enemy, and received i'm
prisonment and persecution as a reward.
will ever remain as lasting disgrace to
the British name.

\ BLUE ROSE. A famous horticultnrSt
had roses Of all sorts in his gardens, from
the pearleSt white TO the deepest garnet !;
from the faintest cream to the brightest
canary; rose that passed for purple, and
another called out of courtesy a black
rose; but all their exquisite fragrance and
beauty were wasted on the gardener, who
was absorbed in one idea; that was, to
produce blue rose. So all possible ex-
pedients were tried. Chemistry and bot
any were besieged to try and get upon
Natures blind side, and induce her to
bring forth this anomaly. Now this gar
dener was not alone in his discontent.-
There are host of people IN the world
searching after blue roses. They have
enough to spare Of others far more benuti-
ful, but all of them profit nothing as long
as the coveted one is still beyond their
reach. 1t was not by any means because
the blue rose was the prettiest that it was
desired, but because it could not be had.
Do not imagine you would be at all salts
fled if you did get the object you most
covct. Just as soon as the gardener got
his blue rose he would be just as uneasy
as every until he got a blue tulip or
blue dahlia. The only surety you have
that you would be satisfied with future
possessions, is that you are happy over
those you now possess. Contentment
with godliness, is great gain"
