When Autumn's hue shall tinge the golden grain,
But who shall teach us when to look for thee?

Is it when roses in our paths grow pale?
They have one season?all are ours to die!
Thou -art where the billows foam.
Thou art where music melts upon the air;
Thou art round us in our peaceful home,
And the world calls us forth, and thou art there*
Thou art where friend meets friend,

A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SI ORY. v
A few we-ka since, in coming down the
North River, I was seated in the cabin of the
magnificent steamer Isaac Newton, in conver.
sation with some friends, ft was becoming
late in the evening, and one after another,
seeking repose from the cares and toils of the
day, madp preparations to retire to their berths.
Some, pulling off boots and coats, lay themselves
down to rest; others, in attempts to make
it seem as much like home as possible, threw
off more of their clothing?each one as his
comfort or apprehension ofdanger dictated.

chesnuf hair, in thick clustering curls.
After walking about the cabin for a time
the father and son stopped within a few feet of
where we were seated, and began preparations
forgoing to bed. I watched them. He adjusted
and arranged the bed the child was to occupy,
which was an upper berth, while the little
fellow was undressing himself. Having
finished this, his father tied a handkerchief
around his head to protect his curls, which looked
as if the Min'ight from his young happy heart
always reacted there. This done, I looked
for him to ?eek his resting place; but instend

ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON. .
i
During one of tbe campaign! in Germany,
the Emperor, in his celebrated grey great coil, 1
was riding about in the environs of Munich, at- |
tended only hy two orderly officers. He mpt i
on the road a very pretty looking female, who,
u? i? a ?;^nttv ? au. .
ijj lira iiiro?| ??o vhu^ii\*j ? uuuitit* uu? j
wan weeping, and wa? leading by (be band a
litlJe hoy about five years of age. Struck by j
the beauty of the woman, and her distress, the j
Emperor pulled up his horse, by the road side
and said: j
'What is the matter with you, my dear?*
'The woman, not knowing the individual by <
whom she was addressed, and being much dis* I
composed by grief, made no reply. The little j
boy, however, was more communicative, and i
he frankly answered": ' j
'.My mother is crying, sir, because my father 4
heat hetr.' j
'Where is your father?' i
'Close hy here. He is one of the sentinels j
on duty with the haggage.'
The Emperor again addressed himself to the I
woman, and inquired tbe name of her husband, i
hut Rhe refused to tell, being afraid the Captain, <
as she supposed the Emperor to he, would cause i
her husband to' Ire punished. Napoleon, I am
sorry to say, had but little confidence in the |
fair sex. On this occasion, Iris habitual suspicions
returned to his mind, and be said:
'Malpeste ! your husband has been beating
you; you are weeping, and yet you are so afraid
of getting him into trouble, that you will not
even tell me his name. Thin is very inconsistent.
May it not be that you are a little in the
fault yourself?'
Ala?, Captain! he hasa thousand good qua I.
ities, though he has one very bad one ; be is j
jealous, terribly jealous, and when be gets into
a passion, cannot restrain his violence.' |
But that is rather serious ; in one of his fit's
of jealous} be may inflict on you some very se- |
vere iniurv. nerhaps kill rou.' i
'And even if In* did, I should not wish any J
harm to come to him, for I am Mire he would ,
not do it willingly. He loves ine too well for
that.'
'And ifl guess rightly, you love him/
'That is very natural, Captain; be isiny law.
tul husband, and the father of my dear boy.'
So saying, she fondly kissed ber child, who,
by the war he returned ber caresses, proved his
affection for his mother. Napoleon was moved
by this touching picture in spite of the heart
of iron, of marble or of adamant, which has so
often been allotted to him.
Well,' said he again, turning to the woman,
'whether you and your husband love each other
or not, f do not choose that he should beat you
?I am one of the Emperor's nides-de camp,
Rnd I will mention the affair to his Majesty?
tell me your husband's name.'
If you were the Emperor himself, I would
not tell you, for I know he would be punished/
'Sillv woman t all I want is to teach him to
behave well to you, and lo treat you with the
respect you deserve.'
4Tha? would make me very happy, Captain,
hut though he ill treats, I will nut get him pun*
inked.'
The Emperor shrugged up his shoulders and |
made some remark upun female modesty, and f
galloped off.
When h? was out of the woman's hearing, (
he said to the officers who accompanied him: j
Well, gentlemen,, what do you think of that (
affectionate creature? There are not many
such women at the Tuillcries. A wife like that (
is a treasure lo her husband.' .
I -? . / - r .1 l '
in me course 01 a lew mmuies im f
of which the boy had spoken, came up. It was
escorted by a company of the Fifty-Second.? |
Napoleon despatched one of the officers who (
was riding with him, to desire the commander ?
of the escort to come to liirn.
Have you a vivan tiere in your company?" (
'Yes, Sire,' replied the Captain.
Has she not a child V {
Yes, litilo Gentil, whom we are all so fond
of.'
Has not this woman been beaten by her r
husband?'
*1 was not aware of the circumstance till some
time after the occurrence. 1 have reprimand- *
ed the man.' x
'Is he generally well conducted ?'
'He is the best behaved man in the company. |{
He is very jealous of bis wile but wiihout rea (
son. The woman's conduct is irreproachable.' |
'Dues he know me by night V "
'I cannot say, Si.e, hit aa he ha? just arrived ^
ftoin Spain, I think it ia probable he doea not.' n
Try ami ascertain whether he has ever seen ^
me, and il he has not, bring him hither. Say j
you wish to conduct him Iteibre the General of f
the division.'
On inquiry, it appeared that Napoleon had
never been seen by the grenadier, who was a
very fine looking man of about five and twenty.
When he Was conducted to Napoleon, the latter
said in a familiar tone ;
'What is the reason, my lad, that you beat j|
your wife ? She is a young and pretty woman,
. - -/v L..-I 1 111
and a neuer wire man you ?rr ? iiubifuuu. uuvm
conduct is disgraceful in a French grenadier.'
Bah. General! if women are to he believed, 8
they are never in the wrong. I have forbidden f,
tny wife to talk to any man whatever, and yet, {|
hi spite of my commands, I find her constantly n
gossipping with one or other of my eoir).rades.' 'j
. v i | ?
4iNow, there is your mistaKe. iou nam u> p
prevent a woman from talking?you might as h
well try to turn the course of the Danube.? a
Take my Advice ; do not be jealous. Let your II
wife gossip and be merry. If she were doing d
wrong, it is likely she would be sad instead of
guy. Your comrades are not absolutely capu.
chins, but I am much mistaken if they will not
respect another man's wife. I desire that you *
do not strike your wife again ; and if my order I

what would you say then ?'
'Ma Tor! General, my wife is mine and I may
vat her iff choose. 1 should say to the Em*
>ernr. Sire, you look to the enemy, and lease
ne to manage ray wife.'
Napoleon laughed and said, 'My good fellow,
pu are now speaking to the Emperor.'
The word produced its magical effect. The
grenadier looked confused, held down bis head,
owered his voice, and said:
'Oh, Sire! that quite alters the case.. Since
