selfish channel. Well may we pause in
profound thought when we come to con-
template that wonderful man, and scOurge
of nations, Napoleon Bonaparte. The
most careful review of his life as given to
us by history, from the time he enters upon
the public stage, in so far as noble impulses
and aspirations are concerned, is as barren
as the Sahara Desert. Can we be suffi-
GENTLY charitable as to suppose that had he
attained the end he sOught-that of the SUBJ
jugatOil of all the nations of the eastern
hemisphere would have so ruled it as
to have called forth the plaudits of civiliza-
ton. No. it is left entirely to the magma
ton. and his actions are antagonistic to
the thought
What benefit is civilization to the human
race if it does not call forth higher aspra-
tiOnS, nObler impulses, purer thought and a
more Just appreciation of duty to God and
the rights of mankind? The greater the
opportunities of man. the greater are his
| responsibilities. We can obtain no more
satisfactory evidence of what a mans fut-
ure actions will be, than to know what
his past general life has been. and the
strongest evidence of well-grOunded prnci
piles is to have all his actions accord with
just and pure emotions. A suitable Illus
tratOn of this we have in the life and char

ern. has no parallel character with his.
And yet he was only human like all others
in so far as physical strength goes; en-
dOwed with like passions. His military
abilities were not superior to Napoleon's,
and it is questionable if his administrative
qualities were superior to many of his con-
temporarieS but certainly beyond many of
the present generation. No. his grand
and beautiful virtues lay in the purity of
his soul. Every movement he made in
public or private life was actuated by the
sole desire to benefit others. There was
no thought of self. Ambition he had to
superlative degree. like Alexander, Peter,
and Napoleon. but with mighty differ
ence. That difference was blessing to his
people and to posterity, and will cause his
memory to be revered. as it is now. beyond
the computation of time. While the others
may live in memory as wonders of genius
and intelligence misapplied, he will live as
a bright example of what steadfast prObity,
high resolves conscientious motives with
faith in ones self and the justice of God.

Intelligence is the finger of reason, and is
a very important factor in all the actions of
man. 1t is developed to a greater or less
degree according to species. of which man
takes precedence. and in him only, because
of his likeness to the Divinity. and is de-
velOped by a careful application of the rea-
soning powers, to which must be added
the willing assistance of conscience. 1t is
the beacon light and guide of humanity.
and is instructive in the brute creation. In
the one it is the preservative of soul and
body; and in the other of body only; hence
all actions of man incompatible with his
Gown good are termed a perversity of will or
poor Judgment. The most comprehensive
study of the leading actors in the political
history of the ancients forces us to the con-
cluSiOn that the nineteenth century inhabit-
ants of the globe have not advanced to any
remarkable degree above them in one mat
ter, and that is, self-government. The
only difference noticeable in this respect
between ancient and modern times is that
the latter can in a more refined manner
disguise ultimate aims.
