It was bright spring morning, and as be sat on hi steed in tho clear sunlight, his eyes rest<*( on a scene in tho vale below, which wa sublime and appalling enough to quickei the pulsations of the calmest heart. Tha form was Napoleon Bonaparte, and th scene below him the tierce and terribl "Battle of Mount Tabor." From N.a/.c reth, where the Saviour once trod, Klcbc marched out with three thousand Freud soldiers forth into the plain, when lo, at th \ f x l ii V i m njiH in .ijuuih liiuur nu pnw uie wuoie 1 in kisli ariny, drawn up in order of battle.? Fifteen thousand infantry and twelve thouf and nplcndid cavalry moved down in inn jcstie strength on this band of three thouf and French. Kleber had ucarccly tiino t throw hi.s handful of men into nquaros, wit! the cannou at angles, before those twolv thousand horse, making the earth amok and thunder aB they came, burst in a Head long gallop upon them, J Jut round thos steady squares rolled a fierce devouring firr oinpt viug the saddles of those wild horse men with frightful rapidity, and fitrewinj tho earth with tho bodies of riders am steeds together. Againand again did thos splendid squadrons wheel,reform and ehfirg with deafening shouts while their ?ipIift?M and flashing Bcimitars gleamed like a fores of steel through the smoke of battle ; hu that aarae wasting fire recoived thera: til those squares seemed bound by a t/irdle o flame, so rapid anfLeonstaut wore tiio die ohargcu, certain hnd deadly aim, nn}htymlnn fighting for existence the charging sqnadrotis foil no fast tiiat ? * | rain pa ft .of dead bodies was soou formed r around them. lb-hind this embankment of dead men and hornet thin band of warriors stood and fought for six dreadful hours, and I was still steftdily thinning the ranks of the enemy, when Napoleon descended from .Mt. Tabor with bis little baud, while a single twelve-pounder, fired from the heights, told the wearied Kleberlhat be was rushing to the rescue. Then, for tho first time, he took tho offensive, and pouring his enthusiastic followers on the foe, carried death and terror over the field.

Nazareth, Jnrdan and Mount Tabor ! what spots for battlc-iicldti! lioll back twenty centuries and again = view that hill. The day is bright and beautiful as then, and the same rich oriental - landscape is smiling in the same sun.? There is Nazareth with its busy population ?the same Nazareth from which Kleber j. marched his army; and there is Jordan rolling its bright waters alone?the same i on which ..onaparte stood with his cannon; (| ! and tho same beautiful plain where rolled (j the smoke of battle, and struggled thirty thousand men in mortal combat, lint how 0 different is the scene that is passing there. r The Sou of Ciod stands on that height, and casts his eye over the quiet valley through ( which Jordan winds its silver current.? Three friends are beside Iliui; they have p walked together up the toilsome way, and | ? now tho lour stand, mere specks on thedis1 taut summit. Faraway to the northwest 1 shines the blue Mediterranean?all around is the great plains of Ksdraelon d Galileo ?eastward the lake of Tiberias dots tho ' landscape, while Mount Carinol lifts Us naked summit in the distance. But the glorious hu.ducape at their feet is forgotten in , a sublimcr scone that is passing before I tlieni. The son of Mary?the carpenter of j i Nazareth?the wanderer with whom they have ato and drank and travelled on foot [ many a weary league, in all the intimacy of . companions and friends, begins to change ' | before their eves. Over bis soiled and j coarse gar in cuts is spreading a strange , light, steadily briahtoniuc into intenser ' i heanty, till that form "lows with such splendor that it r>eems to waver to and fro and ' dissolve in the still radiance. " The three astonished friends gaze on it % in speoehless admiration, then turn to that familiar face. l>ut lo, a greater chango has I passed over it. The man has put on the J j God, and that sad and solemn countenanco ! w1lic.1l nftrm ennn of Annlnnr ntmr ' " vt' "v" "VW,J ] ^ luo coucu of the dying, and entering tlie f door of tho hut of po erty ; and passing _ through the streets of Jerusalem, and pans- ] , by tho weary waysida?aye, bedewed j P with the tears of pity?now burns like the ^ sun in his midday splendor. Meekness has given way to majesty?sadness to dazzling glory- the look of pity to the grandeur of i ^ a God. Tho still radiance of heaven sits i on that serene brow, and all around that ] ' divine form flows an atmosphere of strange i and wondrous beauty. Heaven has pourI ed its brightness over that conseerated *pot, ' and on the beams of light which glitter j thcro, Moses and Elias have descended; and i .,1 wrapped in tho samo shining vestiments, ! stand beside him. Wonder follows wonder, ( fui lliose ihico glittering fortes arc talking j j. with each other and amid tho thrilling ac- i j cents aro heard tho words "Mount Olivet," i " Cavalry," tho agony and the death of the i ' crucifixion, i'etcr, awestruck and overcome, feeling also the influonoo ofthat heavenly atmosphere, and carried away by a sudden impulse, says to Jesus, in low and tremulous acccnts: " It is good to l>c here; ' let us build tbruo tabernacles; one for thee, ono for Moses, and ono for Klias." Confused oy the scene and dazzled by the splcn1 dor, ho was ignorant what ho was saying. ' lie knew not tho moaning of this sudden ,l appearance, but he knew that heaven wa9 j near and God revealing himsolf, and hctV.lt that somo sacred ceremony would bo apK propriate to tho scene ; and while his be| wildcred gaze was fixed on tho three forms ! before him, his unconscious lip? murmured forth tho feelings of his heart. No wonder 0 a sudden fear oamo over him, that paralyzed bis tongue and crushed him to the earth, r when in tho midst of his speech he saw a i cloud fall like a f:dliunr slur frriili linflvm f! i and bright nnd dazzling, balance itself over " | those forms of light. Perhaps his indis~ : creel interruption had brought this now !* ! messenger down, and from its bosom tho l"! thunder nnd flame of Sinai were to burst ; j and he fell on his face in silent terror. 1 Jut I ! that cloud was only .1 canopy for its (rod, 1 and from ila bright foldings enmo a voice, C ' ?aying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom 1 I am wyll pleased, hear yc Him." | Ilow long tho vision ln?ted wo cannot c j tell, but all that night did Jesus, with his '? j friends stay on that lonely mountain. Of 1 tho conversation which passed between ^ 1 them thorfl wo knniv nrtthinry? Imt ISiiIa * i sloop, we imagine, visited their vyes that 0 night; and as they sat on tho high summit '' : and watched the stars, as they rose ono af' , tor another above tho horizon, and gazed on 1 , tho moon as sho poured her light over the ' dim and darkened landscape, words were '!spoken that seemed born of heaven, and ' truths novor to bo forgotten were uttered ' in tho cars of tho subdued and reverent dis7 j oiples. i! Oh, how different is heaven and earth ! 1 Can there be a stranger contrast than tho t m. Battle nnd Transfiguration of Mount Tabori Ono shudders to think of Bonaparte ami the Son of Ood on the same mountain : i with his wasting cannon by his siile, and tho other with Moses and Elias just from heaven. But no after desecration enn destroy the first consecration of Mount Tabor; for baj?tized with tho glory of heaven, and honor ed with tho wondrous sceno of tho Transfiguration, it stands a Sacred Mountain on tho earth.

Wk believe we have got hold of an original anecdote, that never was printed before. A student of one of our State colleges had a barrel of ale deposited in his room?contrary, of course, to rule ami usage, lit- received a summons to appear before the President, who said : " Sir, 1 aui informed that von have a barrel of ale in your room." " Yes, sir." " Well, sir, what explanation can you make ?" " Why, the faet is, sir, my physician advises me to try a little each day as a tonic, and, not wishing to stop at the various places where the beverage Ls retailed, T concluded to have n barrel taken to my room." ''Indeed; and have you derived any benelit from the use of it " Ah, yes, sir; when the barrel was first taken to my room, two days sinee, I could scarcely lift it?now 1 can carry it with the greatest ease." We believe the witty student was discharged without special reprimand. Tub Fkmale Tkmi'er.?No (rait of character is rnoro valuable in a femalo than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never bo liappy without it, it is like the flowers that spring up in our pathway, reviving and cherishing us. Let a man go home, at night wearied and worn by the toils of day, and how soothing is a word dictated by a good disposition ! It is sunshine falling on his heart, lie is happy, and tho cares of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has a soothing influence over tho mi rids of a whole family. Where it is found iu tho wife and mother, you observe kindness and love predominating over tho natural feelings of a bad heart. Smiles, kind words and looks characterized the children, nnd peace and lovo have their dwellings lliere. Study, then to acquiro and retain rjood temper, and it captivates more than beauty, and lo the closc of life it retails nil its freshness and power. How Fast tiiky Died.?The eminent Hr. Uandcns, in an able report on liis official mission to the Crimea, affirms that, for wmetimc, two hundred French soldiers expired daily between that region and Constantinople, and that the official bulletins convey no adequate idea of the. Bufferings r nd privations of the troops, and the extent and horrors of the mortality.
