Tho-F wer-Girl of St. Helena. At St. Helena,.whei the weather was favoral-Ie, Na-polean always rode out, eithe iinihis carriae oroi horseback, but as soon--as hie had became familiar 'with tie confmed space allotted t hii t-re, he often preferred exploring the eideded grounds, After havitig finished his daily.task or dietation, (for one of his-favorite occupations was the dictation of his.memoirs,) and spent hours-in read inglie dressed about three, o'cloek, and vent -out, accompanied by General Bertritd, MVonsieur Las Casas, or Gen era IGorgaud. . t t . . its rides were.all lirected to the neigh horing village, which lie took imuch plea. sure in exploring, and wivherethe foixi&d lhimselr free fronv observatio6 Nlyhi the r'oadir were in some placis ai impassable, his taste forexploring seenie to increase, rather than dinlinish even to am a specites ot erty. Ine oil thing to which lie had an unconmion i aversion was meeting the English senti iels, who were constantly stationed to watch him. In one of these rides he found a sequestered spot in the valley, which afterwards became a daily retreat for meditation. One day he discovered a neat cottage amongst the rocks of the valley, and en tred the garden attached to it, whic-h ,:as.radiant with flowers and geraiums, which a young girl was watching. lhis young girl was a hurnette, and as fresh as the flowers; she had large blue eves, of a most pleasant expression, and Na poleon, always an admirer of the fair sex, was much struck with her beatuty. " Pray, what is your name !" he in quired. Henrietta," she replicd. You seem very fond of flowers." "They are all iny lrtune, sir." " low is that?" Every day I take my geraniums to the town, where I get a iew sous for my bouquets. " And your father and mother what do they do ?" "Alas! sir, I have neither," replied tihe yonig girl with much emotion. "No parents?" " Not one ; I am quite a stranger in this island. - Three years ago, my father, an English soldier, left London with me for the Indies; but, alas! my father died on the voyage, anid when the vessel reached this island, my poor mother w-as so ill, that she could not proceed further, and so we w'.ere left here. She was ill for a long time, and hav'ing no resources for our support, I was advised to sell flowers. A gentleman in tihe town, who mtade inquiries as to our prospects, took pity on us, and gave us this cottage, where mother's health improved, and where she lived nearly two years, during which time w~e w'.ere supported by the sale of flowers. Ahout a year ago, my poor mother had a relapse, and obtained a release from all her oarthly suf'erings. On her death bed--she recommieinded me to trust in Providence, and I feel a plea sure in obeying her laist wish." The young girl having thtus spoken, * burst into tears. During this short reci tal Napoleon was very much affected, and when she burst into tears he sobbed loudly. At lenigth he said: "Poor child ! what sin could you have committed that y-ou should have b)ein ex ied here so. mniscralbly?. Like mue, she has ino countryv, no fatmil-she has no mother, and I-I have no child !'' Aftei- pronouniciing these words the Empe.ror again sobhed auidibly, and his tears flo~wed freely. Yes, this great man, - whom the loss of the most brilliant~ throne in the wvorld affccted not-wno was calm amid dIesolr.tioni itself, wept at thie-recital of this poor girl. After a few moments he assumed his customary firm ness, and he said to lier: "I wish to take home with-me a souve nir of my first visit to your cottage. Gather, some of your best flowers,, and manke'a grand bouquet." - Hourietia quickly niade -his beuquet and when Napoleon gave. .her five. lou d'ors for it, cried, ith astoraishmen -' Ah! grand dieu! why did you n come sooner? My poor mother wiou not then have died!" " Well, well, my child, these are ver good sentinients. 'I iiU come and s< You again." . 'hen blushidjrand regarding-the fh pieces of gold, Henri&ttd repliid, ,B1 sir, I can never give you flowers eu'oug for all this",ioitn0ey." "Do noflet.Vhat bother you,"' answe ed Napoleon, smiling, "you will con and feteli them.' He thein left -her. ,When he gahie his copiln ions lie informfled then of hi discovery. Heseemned happy in..havin one.as uifortunite a.s himself to- cd'nsole and on the spot the vouni-lenritta aug niented the- special nomenclature e Lopgnwood. He called her ".the nymp of St. helena," for amongst.'his friends Napoleon habitually biiptised .l4, _hab surrounded him. by a familiar cognoier Thus trie part of the island. wichlh" most frequented was "cilli the "V alle. -of Silence ;" Mr. Balcnib, with, who!n he staed on iise first arrival at St. Hele na,i Amphton; his cousin, tlh Maijrvbo-*was about six' feet high' wat called the " Giant;" Sir George Cock born eas^ designated as" Mr. Admiral when the- Emperor was pleased, biu when -he had cause for compla tint, hi only title was" the Shark." Some days After his visit to the cottage 'Napoleou said, when dressing, that- hi should return to his Oitipil, and perforn his promie. He found the young girl a home. She had ibarned -since his ab. scence The name 07T her benefactor; int much moved, not so much by his past grandeur as by his recent- calamities, en treated him to accept the hospitality o her hunible cottage. She thpi .brough figs, and water from the spring of dR river valler. "Sire,"'she said to Napoleon, "I have wvaited omlb -fdr.you since you were .e eand have consequently not been to procure -wine for. you, as your O nty wilLn % iVU nable rme to do." "nd i iror I come to see you 1I vish nothing better than this water, which is excellent. On this condition, I am but an old soldier, as vour father was, and the old soldier who is not satisfied with figs and water is no soldier at. all." From that day Napoleon did not visit the valley without calling at the cottage of Henrietta. On these occasions she presented him with a magnificent bou (uet, especially for him, and after a frienudly chat with her, lie would con tinue his ride, familiarly discoursing with those who accompanied him, on the great and excellent qualities which this young English girl possessed. In the following year, Napoleon began to sufier from the attacks of the malady which afterwards proved fatal. Henrietta, not receiving visits ironi her benefactor, went to in quire after his health; and having left the customary botignet with one of his attendants, returned home very disconso late. One fine day, shortly afterwards, as she was sitting in her garden, she heard the sound of an approaching car riage, and running quickly at the gate, she found herse-lf in the presence of Na. poleon. As soon as she beheld him, her face assumed an expression of great sad "You find mo much chaniged, do you not, my child ?" said he, in a fatint voicM "Yes, sire, I do indeed; but I hope~ that you will soon be restored to health.' "I much doubt it," he said, shirugging his shouldlers with an air of incredulity " Nevertheless, I much wished to pay yot a visit to-day, to you and your flower! again.". He then slowly descended from th<i carriage, and leaning on the arm of Ber trand, he reached the cottage. When he was seated, lie ob)servd-. " Give me a cup .of water from thi spring, my dear I iettat; that will per haps cool the fever wh-lich consumes ma here," (laying his hand on his side.) The young girl hastened to fete& sonme. When Napoleon had partakeni a it, his countenance, till then conitracted became serene. " Thaniks! thanks! my dear friend, said he-" this water has eased my sui ferings a little, If I had taken it soonel perihps I--" added he, raising his eyt to heaven; " but now it's too late." "Alih!" replied Henrietta,. aftfecting .gaiety of manner, " I am so happy thz this water- does you good. I will brin you' smevery day ; it will peorhlaps cur " No, my~ dear child, it iih be uselen now-all is over. I fear this will be tli Last isiit i shall' make here. Th~ere' is settled grief' here, which is consumnin me, (the Emperor touched his- side,) an as!I may never see you 'againi, .1 wish I leave you a souveniir of me. What sha I give y-ou?" At these words the, young girl -com:1 contain herself no longer, but burstin into heartfelt tears, fell at the feet of .th Emperor, crying. "-Your blessing,-sire !" Napoleon rose and -blessed ,.ber wi bkcomung .ramty; fo ho abrss had r it, w owed Himself.

Highly in cenR&ed at Jack's want of veracity, the nobleman demanded in a rage how lie dare persist in an untruth ? My lord," replied lie, "I certainly do not know the ineaning of a card; the bundle in my pocket is my Almanac '" "Your Alinauae, indeed! then I de sire you will prove it." " Well sir, I will begin. There are four suits in the pack, that intimate the four quarters in the year; as there are thirteen cards in a suit, so there are thirteen weeks in a quarter. There is also the same number of lunations: the twelve signs of zodiac, through which the sun steers his diernal course in one year. There are fifty-two cards in a pack: that directly answers the nuimher of weeks in a year. Examine them more minutely ; and you will find three hundred and sixty-five spots, as there are days in the year; these multiplied by twenty-four and sixty, and you have the exact number of hours and muinutes in a year. Thus sir, I hope I have convinced you it is miy Almanac ; and by your lord. ships normission, I will prove it my Pray. er Boiok also. I look npon the four suits as represenitinig the four prevailing religions; Christianiity, J1udaismn, Ma. homnatism, and Paganism; the twelve cearit cards remind me of the twelve Patriarchs, from whm .sprunig the Itwelve apostles, the twelve articles of the Christian faith.

ARREST OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN BY THE FR ENcH GovERNMENT.-A Paris letter says: Among the very numerous arrests made, one of an American genleman, under the following circumstances. Ile was in the cr.owd on Wednesday. A friend of his was cruelly beaten, but not allowed to be arrest ed, as he bravely desired to be. The other was also needlessly and severely struck by the policemen who had him fully in their i power. Ile was taken to the Conciergerie, locked up for the first night in a dungeon, i and afterwards in a room known as the I Salles des Girondins. This room was ' crowded part of the time with nearly five I hundred prisoners-ome well dressed and 1 well-mannered, others the lowest of the I dangerous population of Paris, escaped or 4 released from the galleys of prisons. The I only bedding was straw, spread on the stone 4 floor; some were fortunate to have a blanket; I but by no means all. The food was ordina- i ry prisoners' fare. The crime for which this I gentleinan was imprisoned, and his compan. ion heaten, was crying Vire la Republique, t and being in a crowd. Severe orders against gathering in the streets were not issued un- I til Thursday morning. Through the active interference of our truly American Consul, Mr. Goodrich, their prisoner obtained his release on Tuesday. PRAYER IS THE MEASURE OF LovE.-It is a striking remark, ascribed to St. Augustine, that prayer is the measure of love. A re mark which implies that those who love much, will pray much, and those who pray much love much. This remark is not more scrip' c urally than philosophically true. It is the nature of love to lead the person who exer cise.4this passion, as it were, out of himself. His heart is continually attracted towards the beloved object. Ile naturally and nece.P arily exercises, in connection with the ob. ject of love, the communion of the affections. And this, it will be readily seen-viz: the oninunion of the affec:iouns-is the essen ial characteristic, and perhaps it may be said, the essence and sum of prPyer, In accepta- c ble prayer, the soul goes forth to God in various acts of adoration, supplication and hanksgiving; all of which imply feelings of b trust and confidence, and particu'larly love to h Him who is the object of prayer. According. ly he who loves much, cannot help prayin? P much. And, on the other hand, when the treams of holy communion with God fail in C my considerable degree, it is a sure sign hat there is a shallowness and draught in '~~~~ . - --- i h tehave FLORIDA LAND SALEs.-An eXtW nro 7 ,f lands belonging to the State of Florida, P is to take place in April and Mlay next. Of hese lands the Tallahassee Sentinel ays: 'I'lc largest and most important sale of se leeted lands ever proposed in Florida, is ad vertised in the Sentinel of to-day. These lnds comprise some 300,000 of the 500,000 Ai ecres granted to the State for Internal Im provements, and constitute all which have been thus far selected and approved under the provisions of this grant. A large portion >f them were selected immediately after the United States surveys had been completed, n nd before the lands were in market, and the t< reneral character of all is supposed to be far g bove average. Ranging from latitude 27 to s4 31, they are susceptible of a great variety of w production, and offer a wide range of choice t to all who may contemplate embarking in ai gricultural pursuils in Florida.

JoKE.-At Mrs. Ilanna's Fe- " nale Seminary in Washington, Pa., a fewh ights since, somec of the young ladies rigged r. mt one of their number with an immense, room above her head, and covered it wvith rapery to represent a gigantie apparation'. )ne of the 'oung ladies whom they- under ook to frighten by the sight of it, wvent aving mad, and, though better at the last ~ acounts, was not yet restored to reason. DAVID HlUME once said that all the do- a vent persons he had ever met with were-ex eedingly melancholy. WVhereupon, Bishop E-one remarked, that this assertion is proba-e ly correct, for in the first place, he seldom e et with pious. people, his- friends and Ac uaintances being of another sort; and so ondly, th'e sight of him .would make a de out man look melancholy at any time. EMstn1rATnoN FROM NORTir CAnOr.INA TO i ALIFoNIA.-We understand that a consi erablel emigration of slave owners with their a slaves is a going forward to California from e North Catrolina, who are versed in the busi- J uss of geld digging. A party of twenty t three~ North Carhinians arrived here yesterday. t in thre cars, with twenty nine slaves, who are c about to take paissage in the Isabel for IHa- ( vana, purposing to take the overland route.c STE AM CAR RIAG ES ON COMON ~RoADs -Mr J. K. Fisher, of New York eity. has succeeded, it is said, in constructing steam carriages to run on- common .roads; and it is proposed to get up a company with a capital of $100,000 for the manufacture of such carriages.. A WmITE Owl measuring over four feet from tip to tip, was shot on the farm of Thomas Comly, in New Jersey opposite Yardleyville, last week. This is the first1 specimen gf the kind ever killed in that neighborhood, and had probably been lured from his native haunts-by curiosity. ~AN IroUR's Indnstry will do mo're to1 produce cheerfulness, suppress evil humors, and retrieve your affairs than a month's 1 mournling.

TiE MEN WITH TAILs.-A year or two since French travellers in Africaoported the existence of a negro tribe with tails. Lately Count de Castelnau, the explorer of South America, well known in the United States, ommuicated to the Geographical Society of Paris the result of some personal inquires at Bahin, which seem t6 confirm in a measure ho direct report: "I found myself there,", he says, "in the nidst of a host of negro slaves, and thought t possible to obtain from them information >f the unknown parts of the African conti ient. I soon discovered that the Moham nedan natives of Soudan were much further idvanced in mind than the idolatrous inhabi ants of the coast. Several blacks of Hious. a and Adamawah related to me that they ind taken part in expeditions against a nation alled Niam-Niams, who had tails. They raced their route, on which they encounter d tigers, giraffes, elephants, and camels. fine days were consumed in traversing an mmense forest. They reached at length a umerous people of the same complexion nd frame as themselves, but with tails from welve to fifteen inches long. This organ or xcreseenee they described as smooth and motionless. The Houssas massacred the preater part of the tribe; among the bodies rere some females with the same appendage. loth sexes went entirely naked. Some lived a straw hovels, but the greater part lived in aves. The only article of furniture seen mong them was a wooden bench, piereed rith a hole for the accommodation of the This last circumstance is comical enough; ie witnesses were seven or eight, who de lared that they had handled the excrescence, ut it, and so forth. The Count does not unrantee the statements; he intends to tiblish separately the interrogations and an. vers, along with the mips, vocabularies, and ortraits of distinct tribes, which he procured I his researches in Brazil. CArT. TALCOTT, who recently surveyed ie route for the Richmond and Danville Rail oad, discovered, while surveying in the vi nity of Milton, N. C., that the territory on hich that town stands belongs to the State f Virginia, according to the true line of Dundary between Virginia and North Cain nia, which, it is maintained, runs East and Vest in a straight line. If the line runs,as re rted by Capt. T.,:it not only gives Virginia lilton, but four miles of the territory now )mposing a part of the county of Cassville. is thought that if an accurate survey thrown lilton, N. C. into Virginia. Danville in that tate will be thrown into North'Carolina. hristiana treason triala up""TI~leimm.m. annaway's acquittal, is said to be $75,000. Vhen it is remembered, that under the pre mnt revenue system of the goveinment. the ave-holding $tates will have to contribute bout three-fourths of the money to pay esie xpenses, it will' not be* hard to eypher p what the South gains by the Fugitive lave law, to say nothing of the los of the aves escaping. - GRATi STORM AT BATONX Roer -'-There as a severe storm of wind and ralh at Ba In Rouge on the the 30th ult., says a tel aphie dispatch to the N. 0.

M. Kossuth interrupted these remarks saying, " No, my dear sir; anything more sub tantial you cannot give. This is the most gratifying presentation you could nake; but yet I thankful'y accept your romise and acknowledge its kindness; )ut we must not apply the word 'more :mbstantial' to it, because more substan :ial aid you c.nnot give me. I declare 'rankly and openly, my conviction to be, hat here are the principles, not only of he salvation of men, but of the liberty of nankind also; that those virtues which tre taizuht as the great moral principles >f Christianity in this holy book, are the >rinciples which must be carried out, not inly in private life, but in national inter ourse between different members of the reat family of humanity, and only on hat foundation can mankind be happy, ontented and free. Therefore, once ore I declare my conviction, that you ave bestowed on me the highest gratifi. ation, by thus honoring me with this gift, which will, during the years which, with he blessing of God I may yet have, be 3 me a continual source, not only of ontentment, reflection and consolation in -hatever fate of life, but a treasure which, rith your inemory, gentlemen, I shall lways prize as one of my chief posses ils.

'Blackbirds!' says e, ' why, the man is mad! you amaze g, and am unable to distinguish between blackbird and a thrush!'" "If you had been fowling your whole fe, I am as good a judge of birds as you, nd I vow they are thrushes." H-e de. lared they were blackbirds; and, finally, e became so completely angered. that lie ras ruffian enough to use a cane to her. he rain out of the house to a neighbor's )r the night.

He do lared again they were blackbirds; site owed again they were thrushes ; and the >rnier scene was renewed and terminated s before.
