EAL SR TEE SST ETE {From our Extra of Friday last. Suicide of F. V. Moore. This morning at an early hour the city was thrown into a state of intense excitement by the announcement that F. V. Moore, under sentence of death for the murder of Alex. McClanahan, and about to expiate his crime on the gallows had committed suicide in his cell by poison. The startling news soon surrounded the jail with acrowd of men attracted by an irrepressible curiosity to the spot. Many rumors are afleat relative to the tragic event. We have taken considerable pains to collect the whole particulars as far as they ean be obtained and now present them for the satisfaction of the public mind. The impression has all along prevailed that Moore would not end his career upon the scaffold. So strong has been the idea, and so frequently expressed, that the Sheriff and his officers have exercised the most rigid caution to prevent the possibility of suicide. The prisoner has frequently been removed from one cell into another, leaving everything behind in which it was deemed possible a particle of ppison could be concealed.— wife of the condemned leaving his cell after her Immediately upon the visits to him, he has been removed to other quarters, fearing means might be communicated to him to destroy Jife— But all the unremitting attentions of his keepers were of no avail. The drug was conveyed to the wretched man and he died by his own hand, cheating the gallows, and the people of an awful spectacle. The jail was closely watched last night, four men remaining all night in the hall around the cells. Moore was engaged in the afternoon of yesterday and a part of the evening in dictating his will, by amount of six or seven thousand dollars to his wife, than whom no women could be more faithful to a husband under the . most trying circumstances. Many of the acquaintances of Moore were admitted to see him on yesterday, and Rev. Father Dalton, his confessor, remained with him until about five o’clock this morning, endeavoring to prepare him for the last hour. His wife left him in the evening, bidding him an affecting and eternal fareweil and saying she did not expect to see him again alive. Moore was deeyly heart of the criminal melted and he wept as a ’ehild. The wife went without and remained in moved. The obdurate the jailor’s room, within hearing of the His confessor exhorted him to abstain from liqfate like A bottle of wine was in his cell, and at the earnest exhortations of the Reverend Father to have it removed, the prisoner threw it under the grate of his cell. Shortly after 5 o'clock this morning and after the prisoner, till the final scene. uor and to meet his a sober man and christian. confessor had departed, the prisoner called for a glass of wine which was given him. Buta few moments elapsed when a groan was heard to come from the cell. George Lenhart, the jailor, went to the prisoner and found him in the agonies of death. Taking him by the arm, he asked him what was the matter, to which the prisoner made answer tkat he didnot know, and these were the last words he uttered. Dr. Wickes was called but too late. Deatu soon closed the eyes of F. V. Moore for the last time on earth. Mrs. Moore was heard to say to the unhappy man, several times during the night, “Now Frank dont you forget that”-—-the last time in a chiding manner. What the import of the exhortation might be is not known to a certainty,but the repeated declarations of the woman that her huskand never would die upon the scaffold, leaves room for inference. The stomach of the deceased was taken out and at this writing the contents are undergoing a chemical analysis by Drs. Overton and Rudolph. of the investigation will probably be known during the day, but it is already established beyond dispute that death was caused by strychnine, administered by the prisoner himself. We learn from good authority that the poison was handed into the window, probably on Monday last, and passed to Moore by a fellow prisoner named Kelly, who at the time was confined in the hall of the jail for some minor offense. This man Kelly, itis said, had planned an escape of all the prisoners on Wednesday night last, by killing the jailor and seizing the keys. The plan came to light, anda large butcher knife was discovered in The result the corridor near the cell of Kelly, with which it is supposed he intended to accomplish his horrid purpose. A small open package covered with candle grease, was found in the cell of the condemned with some of the poison still adhering to it. A prisoner in the jail says there is not a cell that has not poison concealed somewhere in it — that they are all prepared for the accommodation However this may be, whither true or not, it would be doing the sheriff and his officers the grossest injustice in return for their sleepless vigilance to suppose that the most rigid scrutiny of the cells has not been preserved by them. of suicides. The body of the deceased was removed this morning at about 10 o’clock to the rear of the jail, where a dense crowd has been pressing for hours to see the corpse. The gallows was taken from the jail this morning at 4 o’clock and erected in the vicinity of Gold Flat, near a mile out of town, where a grave was dug to While the terrible instrument of death was being taken out Madam Moore is said to have told receive the body. the workmen of the uttter uselessness of their labor, as Moore would never die upen that seaffold. It was however treated as braggadocio. Reports of a highly unjust and injurious character to the Rev. Confessor circulation and we fear have obtained credence among the ighave been in There are those who are disposed to believe that he has been instrumental in hastening the death of the Rey. Father Dalton is above suspicion, and incapable of such an act. norant, unhappy criminal. His endeavors haye only been to render religious service to the prisoner. Let no one believe for a momont that a stain rests upon his character in connection with the recent awful event. The full facts will in due time be made known, and will fully declare his innocence to the satisfaction of those who do not know the Rey. gentleman—those who know him need no evidence. There are probably three thousand . people in town, attracted hither from all which he is said toleave property to the . parts of the county, and adjacent territory. Men are to be seen from Rabbit Creek, Seventy Six, Downieville, Auburn and other places remote, The hotels are full. STATEWENT OF MADAME MOORE. Mrs. Moore says she knew her husband had poison at his command, but that she was not instrumental in obtaining it for him, that she has implored him not to die by his own hand, but that when on his way to the gallows to make an effort to eseape and failing in which to die fighting compelling the officers to shoot him, which she deemed an honorable death. his she says is what she meant when she enjoined him not to forget something she had told him, and what she said to those taking the gallows out had reference to the same thing. In proof that poison was not the only instrument at Moore’s command to produce death she offered to show the Sheriff other articles of destruction in the cell of the condemned. Taken at lier word she went to the cell in company with the Sheriff and others, and exhibited a number of proofs of the remarkable ingenuity of Moore, and the fact that poison was not his only On the under side of the bottom of a chair without a back she showeda kind of stiletto, made from the wire resource, from a tin basin, one end coiled for a handle, and the other filed to a sharp point, was hidden by candle grease, smeared over it. Asan instrument of death well-designed, its purpose is beyond doubt. She also showed the manner of the conecalment of the poison. On the bottom of his candle stick was a place where it had been stuck in the paper by candle grease, and entirely The bottom of ‘he chair was also used to conceal poihidden by this means. About a week ago, after his wife had left the cell, he was taken out, stripped and washed, new clothes put on him, and he put in another cell. At that time he said carelessly to the jailor, “Dick, bring my chair.” The apparently harmless article was brought, and at the time had this in the bottom. Mrs. M. also showed asmal! flat file, ingeniously hidden in a crack of the floor, and other contrison in the same way. vances that show the ingenuity of the prisoner was of a remarkable character. The STOMACH EXAMINED The medical gentleman engaged in an examination of the stomach of the deceased, found a high state of inflamation of the organ at its upper extremity, indicating the presence of a powerful poisIn the opinion of the gentlemen strychnine was the agent. The examination is not yet completed, but sufficient facts have been evolved to leave little doubt as to the poison employed. on. Nevava Mines, Oct. 7th, 1857. Mr. Editor :----If you find the enclosed squib worthy of publication, publish it. If not, why, of course deeline the honor offered you, but in either case, for the Lord’s sake do not inflict a critique upon your readers on its account, for. in the first place, it is not worth the trouble ; and in the second, I know that some of the lines are a foot too short, and others a foot too long; and that they are badly put together; and that the language used is not such as a classic mus¢ would greatly affect, and several other things which you could point out. All these things I know as well now, as if you were to use up two or three foolseap sheets in explaining them. The zdeas must sustain the piece, if anything does, for it was thrown together carelessly, and without any intention of making it either compact of elegant.

For a man to be gallant, Must think that with genius his native State’s blest, For if he abuses The swect home-made muses, They'll say “an ill bird atways fouls his own nest.” Should he say our romances Are poor squint-eyed glances Of life, and matters and things in our time, Why, ‘tis obvious at once That the man is a dunce, And knows even less of prose than of rhyme. If he says our newspapers Make beautiful tapers, In a literal (not in a figurative) sense, Tis a two to one bet— A dead open and she t— That he judges them by their advertisements.

A Srar ConGress.---The Administration of Jackson, during its second term particularly, was cotemporary with the most brilliant intellectual Congress we ever had. <A correspondent of the Lowell Journal calls attention to the composition of the twenty-third Congress, which commenced December 2, 1833, and terminated March 3, 1835, and it surprises us by the number of persons who have filled high positions under our Government. Six of them, J. Q. Adams, Tyler, Polk, Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan, have oceupied the Presidential chair. Five members, Messrs. Calhoun, Johnson, Tyler, Fillmore and King, have been Vice Presidents; and no less than eight members, Messrs J. Q. Adams, Henry Clay, John Forsyth, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, James Buchanan, John M. Clayton, and Edward Everett, have filled the office of Secretary of State. Thirty-two members have been Governors of States, and twenty-three members of the House have since served in the Senate; A Worp ror tHe Purirans.---One of the most quoted hits at the Puritans is the remark of Macaulay, that their opposition to bear hating was ‘not on the ground that it gave the bear pain, but beeause it gave the people pleasure.” Now, Mr. Macaulay, (says Brown, who is not a Puritan,) suppose you have judged correctly of the motive of the Puritans’ hostility to bear-bating, were the Puritans in the wrong? ‘To relieve the question of all prejudice, let us take it, “for the purpose of this trial,” out of the Roundhead and Calvalier atmosphere, and inquire about Spanish bull fights: Why do moralists everywhere and of all sects denounce that sort of amusement? Is it in pity of the bull? or even of the half brute who goads on to battle? Is it not that to find pleasure in cruelty to man or beast depraves the mind, and hardens the heart of the spectator? That’s the point, Mr. Macaulay, and the Puritans were right. Never mind the bear—he could bear it (excuse the pun) much better than the people who grew ursine and brutal, while they rejoiced in the agonies of Bruin.— Post. , A New Work.---“Have you,” said an inquiring minded and slightly worldly gentleman recently, to a bookseller, “have you Christ’s Sermon on the Mount 7?” “What! Christ’s Sermon on the Mount ?” exclaimed the bookseller, with not a little surprise. “Yes,” said the other; “it was mentioned yesterday in a very charming discourse at our church as an admirable thing; but perhaps it isn’t out yet!” The anxious inquirer was not correeted, but was permitted to go his way----for he had great possessions.” A Stvent Weppinc.—A marriage took place at Lexington, Ky., in which the bride, bridegroom, assistants and officiating clergyman, were all mutes.— The ceremony was conducted in the “sien language.” The Next Legislature.

Warmeastle, Wuicu HAS THE Best OF IT.---One of our female writers declares that “though a few American ladies live in idleness, or worse than idleness, the majority work themselves into early graves, giving men an opportunity to try two or three in the course of their own vigorous lives.” But the recent census of the State of New York gives 1,606,293 males and 1,714,653 females. ‘The widowers number 35,397; the widows 95,182. Nearly an equal number of males and females, but 60,000 more widows than widowers! An exchange paper says: “This great disparity proves most conclusively and strikingly, after the manner of the fable, that whatever amusement marriage may afford woman, it is death to the men!”’---Lox. Journal. WHOLE NUMBER 386. — REMINISCENCE OF Napo.eon. — In : 810—that memorable year whene ome; Amsterdam, Dantzic, Antwerp nd Paris were cities of the same proud empire—Napoleon had brought his young bride to Brussels, and was recei¥ed with great enthusiasm and pomp. On the morning after his arrival, he reviewed the troops of the garrison in the Allee Verte, and as the different Tegiments defiled before him, remarked a grenadier who bore the chevrons of sergeant major. Tall and erect, his black eyes blazed, like stars, trom a face bronzed by twenty campaigns, while an enormous moustache rendered his appearance still more formidable, or &7zarre. When the line was re-formed, the Emperor rode up to the regiment of grenadiers, and called the sergeant to the front. The heart of the old soldier beat high, and his cheeks glowed. “T have seen you before,” said Napoleon; “your name?” “Noel, sire,” he answered with a faltering voice. “Were you not in the army of Italy?” “Yes sire; drummer at the Bridge of Arcola.” “And you became sergeant major ?” “At Marengo, sire.” «But since (”" “I have taken my share of all the great battles.” The Emperor waved his hand, the grenadier returned to the ranks, and Napoleon spoke rapidly to the Colonel for a few moments—the quick glances of his eyes towards Noel, showed that he was talking of him. He had been distinguished by his bravery in several battles, but his modesty had prevented him from soliciting advancement, and he had been overlooked in the promotions.— The Emperor recalled him to his side. “You have merited the Cross of the Legion of Honot,” said he, giving him the one he wore. “You are a brave man.” The grenadier. who at this moment stood between the Emperor and the Colonel, couid not speak; but his eyes said more than volumes. Napoleon made a sign, the drums beat a roll, there was a dead silence, and the Colonel turnin towards the new knight, who with trembling hands was placing his cross upon his breast, said with a loud yoice— “In the name of the Emperor respect Sergeant Major Noel as sub-lieutenant in your ranks.” The regiment presented arms. Noel seemed in a dream ; and only the stern, immovable features of the Emperor prevented him from falling on his knees. Another sign was made, the drums beat, and again the Colonel spoke : “In the name of the Emperor, respect Sub-Lieutenant Noel as Lieutenant in your ranks.” This new thunder stroke nearly overcame the grenadier; his knees trembled; his eyes, that had not been moist for twenty years, were filled with tears, and he was vainly endeavoring to stammer his thanks, when he heard a third roll of the drums, and the loud voice of his Colonel: “In the name of the Emperor, respect Lieut. Noel as Captain in your ranks.” After this promotion, the Emperor continued his review wiih that calm, majestic air which none who beheld him ever forgot; but Noel, bursting into a flood of tears, fainted in the arms of the Colonel; while from the regiment came a loud, united shout of Vire l’ Empereur. WorkInG AND THINKING.—It is no less fatal error to despise labor, when regulated by intelleet, than to value it for its own sake. We are always in these days trying to separate the two; we want one man to be always thinking, and another to be always working ; and we call one a gentleman and the other an operative. Whereas the workman ought often to be thinking, and the thinker ought often to be working; and both should be gentlemen in the best sense. As itis, we make both ungentle —the one envying. the other despising his brother; and the mass of society is ade up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers. Now it is only by labor = thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labor can be made happy ; and the two cannot be separated with impunity. All professions should be liberal, and there should be less pride felt in peculiarity of employment, and more in excellence of achieyment.---Rushkin. Lorp Byron anv Mr. Curran When Lord Byron rose into fame, Curran constantly objected to his talking of himself, as the great drawback on his poetry. ‘Any subject,” said he, “but that eternal one of self. Iam weary of knowing once a month the state of any man’s hopes and fears, rights or wrongs. I should as soon read a register of the weather. the barometer up so many inches to-day, and down so many inches to-morrow.

EAL SR TEE SST ETE {From our Extra of Friday last. Suicide of F. V. Moore. This morning at an early hour the city was thrown into a state of intense excitement by the announcement that F. V. Moore, under sentence of death for the murder of Alex. McClanahan, and about to expiate his crime on the gallows had committed suicide in his cell by poison. The startling news soon surrounded the jail with acrowd of men attracted by an irrepressible curiosity to the spot. Many rumors are afleat relative to the tragic event. We have taken considerable pains to collect the whole particulars as far as they ean be obtained and now present them for the satisfaction of the public mind. The impression has all along prevailed that Moore would not end his career upon the scaffold. So strong has been the idea, and so frequently expressed, that the Sheriff and his officers have exercised the most rigid caution to prevent the possibility of suicide. The prisoner has frequently been removed from one cell into another, leaving everything behind in which it was deemed possible a particle of ppison could be concealed.— wife of the condemned leaving his cell after her Immediately upon the visits to him, he has been removed to other quarters, fearing means might be communicated to him to destroy Jife— But all the unremitting attentions of his keepers were of no avail. The drug was conveyed to the wretched man and he died by his own hand, cheating the gallows, and the people of an awful spectacle. The jail was closely watched last night, four men remaining all night in the hall around the cells. Moore was engaged in the afternoon of yesterday and a part of the evening in dictating his will, by amount of six or seven thousand dollars to his wife, than whom no women could be more faithful to a husband under the . most trying circumstances. Many of the acquaintances of Moore were admitted to see him on yesterday, and Rev. Father Dalton, his confessor, remained with him until about five o’clock this morning, endeavoring to prepare him for the last hour. His wife left him in the evening, bidding him an affecting and eternal fareweil and saying she did not expect to see him again alive. Moore was deeyly heart of the criminal melted and he wept as a ’ehild. The wife went without and remained in moved. The obdurate the jailor’s room, within hearing of the His confessor exhorted him to abstain from liqfate like A bottle of wine was in his cell, and at the earnest exhortations of the Reverend Father to have it removed, the prisoner threw it under the grate of his cell. Shortly after 5 o'clock this morning and after the prisoner, till the final scene. uor and to meet his a sober man and christian. confessor had departed, the prisoner called for a glass of wine which was given him. Buta few moments elapsed when a groan was heard to come from the cell. George Lenhart, the jailor, went to the prisoner and found him in the agonies of death. Taking him by the arm, he asked him what was the matter, to which the prisoner made answer tkat he didnot know, and these were the last words he uttered. Dr. Wickes was called but too late. Deatu soon closed the eyes of F. V. Moore for the last time on earth. Mrs. Moore was heard to say to the unhappy man, several times during the night, “Now Frank dont you forget that”-—-the last time in a chiding manner. What the import of the exhortation might be is not known to a certainty,but the repeated declarations of the woman that her huskand never would die upon the scaffold, leaves room for inference. The stomach of the deceased was taken out and at this writing the contents are undergoing a chemical analysis by Drs. Overton and Rudolph. of the investigation will probably be known during the day, but it is already established beyond dispute that death was caused by strychnine, administered by the prisoner himself. We learn from good authority that the poison was handed into the window, probably on Monday last, and passed to Moore by a fellow prisoner named Kelly, who at the time was confined in the hall of the jail for some minor offense. This man Kelly, itis said, had planned an escape of all the prisoners on Wednesday night last, by killing the jailor and seizing the keys. The plan came to light, anda large butcher knife was discovered in The result the corridor near the cell of Kelly, with which it is supposed he intended to accomplish his horrid purpose. A small open package covered with candle grease, was found in the cell of the condemned with some of the poison still adhering to it. A prisoner in the jail says there is not a cell that has not poison concealed somewhere in it — that they are all prepared for the accommodation However this may be, whither true or not, it would be doing the sheriff and his officers the grossest injustice in return for their sleepless vigilance to suppose that the most rigid scrutiny of the cells has not been preserved by them. of suicides.

The body of the deceased was removed this morning at about 10 o’clock to the rear of the jail, where a dense crowd has been pressing for hours to see the corpse. The gallows was taken from the jail this morning at 4 o’clock and erected in the vicinity of Gold Flat, near a mile out of town, where a grave was dug to While the terrible instrument of death was being taken out Madam Moore is said to have told receive the body. the workmen of the uttter uselessness of their labor, as Moore would never die upen that seaffold. It was however treated as braggadocio. Reports of a highly unjust and injurious character to the Rev. Confessor circulation and we fear have obtained credence among the ighave been in There are those who are disposed to believe that he has been instrumental in hastening the death of the Rey. Father Dalton is above suspicion, and incapable of such an act. norant, unhappy criminal. His endeavors haye only been to render religious service to the prisoner. Let no one believe for a momont that a stain rests upon his character in connection with the recent awful event. The full facts will in due time be made known, and will fully declare his innocence to the satisfaction of those who do not know the Rey. gentleman—those who know him need no evidence. There are probably three thousand . people in town, attracted hither from all which he is said toleave property to the . parts of the county, and adjacent territory. Men are to be seen from Rabbit Creek, Seventy Six, Downieville, Auburn and other places remote, The hotels are full. STATEWENT OF MADAME MOORE. Mrs. Moore says she knew her husband had poison at his command, but that she was not instrumental in obtaining it for him, that she has implored him not to die by his own hand, but that when on his way to the gallows to make an effort to eseape and failing in which to die fighting compelling the officers to shoot him, which she deemed an honorable death. his she says is what she meant when she enjoined him not to forget something she had told him, and what she said to those taking the gallows out had reference to the same thing. In proof that poison was not the only instrument at Moore’s command to produce death she offered to show the Sheriff other articles of destruction in the cell of the condemned. Taken at lier word she went to the cell in company with the Sheriff and others, and exhibited a number of proofs of the remarkable ingenuity of Moore, and the fact that poison was not his only On the under side of the bottom of a chair without a back she showeda kind of stiletto, made from the wire resource, from a tin basin, one end coiled for a handle, and the other filed to a sharp point, was hidden by candle grease, smeared over it. Asan instrument of death well-designed, its purpose is beyond doubt. She also showed the manner of the conecalment of the poison. On the bottom of his candle stick was a place where it had been stuck in the paper by candle grease, and entirely The bottom of ‘he chair was also used to conceal poihidden by this means. About a week ago, after his wife had left the cell, he was taken out, stripped and washed, new clothes put on him, and he put in another cell. At that time he said carelessly to the jailor, “Dick, bring my chair.” The apparently harmless article was brought, and at the time had this in the bottom. Mrs. M. also showed asmal! flat file, ingeniously hidden in a crack of the floor, and other contrison in the same way. vances that show the ingenuity of the prisoner was of a remarkable character. The STOMACH EXAMINED The medical gentleman engaged in an examination of the stomach of the deceased, found a high state of inflamation of the organ at its upper extremity, indicating the presence of a powerful poisIn the opinion of the gentlemen strychnine was the agent. The examination is not yet completed, but sufficient facts have been evolved to leave little doubt as to the poison employed. on. Nevava Mines, Oct. 7th, 1857.

Thirty-two members have been Governors of States, and twenty-three members of the House have since served in the Senate; A Worp ror tHe Purirans.---One of the most quoted hits at the Puritans is the remark of Macaulay, that their opposition to bear hating was ‘not on the ground that it gave the bear pain, but beeause it gave the people pleasure.” Now, Mr. Macaulay, (says Brown, who is not a Puritan,) suppose you have judged correctly of the motive of the Puritans’ hostility to bear-bating, were the Puritans in the wrong? ‘To relieve the question of all prejudice, let us take it, “for the purpose of this trial,” out of the Roundhead and Calvalier atmosphere, and inquire about Spanish bull fights: Why do moralists everywhere and of all sects denounce that sort of amusement? Is it in pity of the bull? or even of the half brute who goads on to battle? Is it not that to find pleasure in cruelty to man or beast depraves the mind, and hardens the heart of the spectator? That’s the point, Mr. Macaulay, and the Puritans were right. Never mind the bear—he could bear it (excuse the pun) much better than the people who grew ursine and brutal, while they rejoiced in the agonies of Bruin.— Post. , A New Work.---“Have you,” said an inquiring minded and slightly worldly gentleman recently, to a bookseller, “have you Christ’s Sermon on the Mount 7?” “What! Christ’s Sermon on the Mount ?” exclaimed the bookseller, with not a little surprise. “Yes,” said the other; “it was mentioned yesterday in a very charming discourse at our church as an admirable thing; but perhaps it isn’t out yet!” The anxious inquirer was not correeted, but was permitted to go his way----for he had great possessions.” A Stvent Weppinc.—A marriage took place at Lexington, Ky., in which the bride, bridegroom, assistants and officiating clergyman, were all mutes.— The ceremony was conducted in the “sien language.” The Next Legislature.

Warmeastle, Wuicu HAS THE Best OF IT.---One of our female writers declares that “though a few American ladies live in idleness, or worse than idleness, the majority work themselves into early graves, giving men an opportunity to try two or three in the course of their own vigorous lives.” But the recent census of the State of New York gives 1,606,293 males and 1,714,653 females. ‘The widowers number 35,397; the widows 95,182. Nearly an equal number of males and females, but 60,000 more widows than widowers! An exchange paper says: “This great disparity proves most conclusively and strikingly, after the manner of the fable, that whatever amusement marriage may afford woman, it is death to the men!”’---Lox. Journal. WHOLE NUMBER 386. — REMINISCENCE OF Napo.eon. — In : 810—that memorable year whene ome; Amsterdam, Dantzic, Antwerp nd Paris were cities of the same proud empire—Napoleon had brought his young bride to Brussels, and was recei¥ed with great enthusiasm and pomp. On the morning after his arrival, he reviewed the troops of the garrison in the Allee Verte, and as the different Tegiments defiled before him, remarked a grenadier who bore the chevrons of sergeant major. Tall and erect, his black eyes blazed, like stars, trom a face bronzed by twenty campaigns, while an enormous moustache rendered his appearance still more formidable, or &7zarre. When the line was re-formed, the Emperor rode up to the regiment of grenadiers, and called the sergeant to the front. The heart of the old soldier beat high, and his cheeks glowed. “T have seen you before,” said Napoleon; “your name?” “Noel, sire,” he answered with a faltering voice. “Were you not in the army of Italy?” “Yes sire; drummer at the Bridge of Arcola.” “And you became sergeant major ?” “At Marengo, sire.” «But since (”" “I have taken my share of all the great battles.” The Emperor waved his hand, the grenadier returned to the ranks, and Napoleon spoke rapidly to the Colonel for a few moments—the quick glances of his eyes towards Noel, showed that he was talking of him. He had been distinguished by his bravery in several battles, but his modesty had prevented him from soliciting advancement, and he had been overlooked in the promotions.— The Emperor recalled him to his side. “You have merited the Cross of the Legion of Honot,” said he, giving him the one he wore. “You are a brave man.” The grenadier. who at this moment stood between the Emperor and the Colonel, couid not speak; but his eyes said more than volumes. Napoleon made a sign, the drums beat a roll, there was a dead silence, and the Colonel turnin towards the new knight, who with trembling hands was placing his cross upon his breast, said with a loud yoice— “In the name of the Emperor respect Sergeant Major Noel as sub-lieutenant in your ranks.” The regiment presented arms. Noel seemed in a dream ; and only the stern, immovable features of the Emperor prevented him from falling on his knees. Another sign was made, the drums beat, and again the Colonel spoke : “In the name of the Emperor, respect Sub-Lieutenant Noel as Lieutenant in your ranks.” This new thunder stroke nearly overcame the grenadier; his knees trembled; his eyes, that had not been moist for twenty years, were filled with tears, and he was vainly endeavoring to stammer his thanks, when he heard a third roll of the drums, and the loud voice of his Colonel: “In the name of the Emperor, respect Lieut. Noel as Captain in your ranks.” After this promotion, the Emperor continued his review wiih that calm, majestic air which none who beheld him ever forgot; but Noel, bursting into a flood of tears, fainted in the arms of the Colonel; while from the regiment came a loud, united shout of Vire l’ Empereur. WorkInG AND THINKING.—It is no less fatal error to despise labor, when regulated by intelleet, than to value it for its own sake. We are always in these days trying to separate the two; we want one man to be always thinking, and another to be always working ; and we call one a gentleman and the other an operative. Whereas the workman ought often to be thinking, and the thinker ought often to be working; and both should be gentlemen in the best sense. As itis, we make both ungentle —the one envying. the other despising his brother; and the mass of society is ade up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers. Now it is only by labor = thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labor can be made happy ; and the two cannot be separated with impunity. All professions should be liberal, and there should be less pride felt in peculiarity of employment, and more in excellence of achieyment.---Rushkin. Lorp Byron anv Mr. Curran When Lord Byron rose into fame, Curran constantly objected to his talking of himself, as the great drawback on his poetry. ‘Any subject,” said he, “but that eternal one of self. Iam weary of knowing once a month the state of any man’s hopes and fears, rights or wrongs. I should as soon read a register of the weather. the barometer up so many inches to-day, and down so many inches to-morrow. I feel skepticism ail over me at the sight of agonies on paper, things that come as regular and as notorious as the full of the moon. ‘The truth is. his lordship weeps for the press, and wipes his eyes with the public.” t= The St. Pauls Advertiser éstimates the grain crop of Minnesota the present year as follows: Wheat, 1;800,000 bushels; corn, 1,500,000 bushels ; onts 1,700,000 bushels. In addition to these, it puts the yield of potatoes at 800,000 bushels, and other produéts of the farm in proportion-:-“an aggregate,” says the Advertiser, “nearly sufficient to féed the large annual inérease of population-which has heretofore made us depend on the neighboring States to supply the deficit.” {= Poles; and all Russian refugees, who have been held in a state of slavery in Circassia, or have sought an asylum in that country, are set at liberty, by a decree of the Circassian Governent, granting them permission of enrolling in the army, or remaining as private citizens. 1 es pete wn caveat
