NAPOLEON AT Sr. HELESA.-The 81.
James Magazine contains nm interesting
description Of Napolecn's life at ST. He
lena. The personal appearance Of the
great man is described as follows -
Napoleon was niddle-sized man,
about fve feet, seven inches high. very
but we'll proportioncd to tbr
neck. He possessed q great flow of
spirits, and, when be thought proper,
had wonderful command over bis tenn
per, though by nature he was hasty and
violent His neck was as thick as q
small horses, his head very large, and
covered with thin. black hair. He
shaved clean to his ears. His complex
ion was very yellow, and bis ewes sharp
and penetrating. In short, had he dis
guised himself in any dress, you coulI
have told by his look that he was above
other men," Napoleon was pleased
with his residence at 81. Helena. "The
climate" said he, ''is delightful, and [
never tasted such wholesome water as
We get here" From hill near his
residence. where he loved to stand alone,
he had a full view of every person 60
ing to or coming from town, and he
wcuid often walk down 10 the corner Of
the wall (Which was ahout thre. hun.
dred yards from the house), stand there
10y himself. and whenever any working
mel passed. stop them aud ask many
Questions; but Of officers or gentlemen
passing he would not take the smallest
notice. If he stopped any person he
thought in distress, he always gave
them little money.

DEBr.-Of all masters that a man
ever had to serve, debt can use the
lash the most dexterously. In the
morning comes the Lash, doubled in the
smarts at noon, and the long weary
day is closed beneath the smartinp
strokes of this tyranic whip. When
the dark curtain of night shuts us ou,
from the world, aud sleep whispers
sweet music around our pillow, and
softly bears US OH towards the dreamy
land Of forgetfulness, up rushes our
master, lash in hand, and the green
fields spread out before us vanish
for the night. The slave, that. tolls
all day long like beast Of bur.
den. rejoices when sleep locks hin,
up from the masters eye, and lie basks
in the brightness Of his dreams. The
toll worn soldier makes the hard march
with his bleeding feet and aching limbs,
trembling at every step, when he hears
the harsh voice of his tyranical com.
mander, but the bivouac gives him rest,
aud the campfres light him to sweet
slumber. No such peace is found for
the poor slave to debt. His troubled
sleep gives him no rest, and foreetful-
ness never browns his misery. Poor
man, debt has forged its iron chains on
him-chains that never cease to cut to
the bone, chains that bind the soul and
drive out his manhood. ''1
The slave of debt may seek solitude
go away from his fellow man and wan.
der on hills and traverse deep valleys
still his thoughts are Of his masters
lash. The green leaf is whispering to
biz, Of debt, the song Of the wild bird
has no music. and his heated brow is
not cooled BY the gentle zephyfs. He
returns to the baunts Of men, and the
greeting is PAY me that thou owest." /"
He becomes a moral poltroon, craven
hearted, and is unable to look his fel.
low man in the face. His eyes bent to
the ground, he walks the streets and
loaths himself, and at last goes down to
. premature grave unmonrned, with no
stone to mark his last resting place
Nov he is out Of the tyrant. He has
paid his last debt q Cshivasor.
