That of Napoleon we ,.hnve hever seen alluded to, except so far as tti describe his lost moments, without nay reference to-his views of the futur*'. ? We find in Campbell's Foreign Monthly Magazine, a short article from the (Br.) 1 ' Evangelical Magazine, which contains many interesting observations of the ma. kcr of Empires on religious subjects. The article concludes aa follows : 14ft may even be said that he 'confer ! - add Christ before men.' In a familiar but solemn conversation ho exclaimed, with i the oxpressive accent and r~ph?tic brevity which had an electric effect, I know men ; and I tell you that Jesus was not a man. His religion is a self-existent mystoffy j and it proceeds from a mind not human. There is in it a deep peculiarity of chnraeter which has produced a succession of doctrines and maxims till then un known. Jesus borrowed nothing from human knowledge. Only i:i himself fa found completely the example or the imitation of his life. Neither was he a phi* 4 losopher; for his proofs wcro miracles and his desciples from the very first a* dored him. In fact, science and philosophy are powerless to salvation; atid the sole object of Jesus, in coming into the world, was to unveil tho mysteries of heaven and tho laws of mind. Alexander, Cesar, Charlemagne, and I, have founded empires; but on what have we rested the creations of our genius ? Upon force. ^)nly Jesus has founded nn empire upon love; and, at this moment, millions of men would die for him. It was not a day or a battle that won the Victory over the world for tho Christian religion? No; it was a long war, a fight of three centuries, begun hy the apostles, I and cnneliifinrl hv thnir atireniisnia. nnil ? "J ------ ? ?I ? the flow of (he Christian generations that followed. In that war all tho kings and powers of the earth on one side; on the other side I see no army, but a mysterious force, and a few men scattered here and there through all parts of the world, and who had no rallying point but their faith in the mysteries of tho cross. I die be. fore my time, and my body will ho put in the ground to become the food of worms.' Such is the fate of the great Napoleon! What an abyss between my deep wrechednessand Christ's eternal kingdom, pro. claimed, loved, adored, and spreading through the world! Was that dying? waa it not rather to five ? The death of Christ is the death of God.' M With these words Napoleon coascd; but General Bcrtrand making no roply, he added 'If you do not understand that Jesus Christ is God, I have been wrong in calling you General,"' DABBY AND TUB BAH. < Twat one of thoso days when the sun in its perpendicular altitudo looks at two aides of the hedge at once?-a lovely mid. summer day?when nature was laughing till kef sides ached, and mother earth, in her gayeat mood, was lavishing her prom, ises and her umiles to her often ungrate, ful children, the lambs were skipping to and fro in their enclosed pastures, and the cows, with grave and matron aspoctr, were lolling in the sun, and ruminating their already gathered repast?every. thing teemed happy except the shepherd Darby. Poor fellow! "A green nnd yellow melancholy." had settled on his family cheek; hit grief ho revealed not, bullet "concealment, like a worm i' the bud," pray upon hit spirits; he stalked about the held liko a ghost, or leaned upon his crook in silent despair. Lord Ampleficld and Squire Buckthorn were riding pnst to dinner. "I wonder," said his lordship to the quire "what can be the matter with my hephcrd Darby. lie seems in n galloping consumption, and were I to lose him 1 would not see his like again for many a long day. He is the most honest, steady, careful crraturo in the world, and never told a lie in his life." "Good I Why my lord do you really believe such nonsense?" "Decidedly I do. I know your opinion ie not very favorable as to tho moral character of our dependents, yet there ure some among them not unworthy of trust." They now advanced nearer, and his lordship held up his whip as a signal, and over bounded Darby. "Well, Darby, that shower wo had last night served the pastures." " It did my lord, and the cows will give a larger menl, and require milking earlier this ?vsninor. through m?.n. ?fi. ? " Darby, bring over iny favorite ram, that thia gentleman may s?e it." Yea, my lord, Hallo, Sweeper, away for Baltface." In a few minutes the dog hunted tho ram up from the flock. That's a clever turn iny worthy, aaid the squiro; there's half a crown to drink." Thanks to yoor honor," said Darby, but the worth of that in strong drink will serve me a year, and yet I'll spend it in drink all on one night." ^Explain this riddle Dorhy." * WhV. sir. when I feel inv??.lf mnrrtf V "V ' J enough without it, whore a the uac in (r. king it? Th?t stream can alack my t&irat aa wcill. Yot I'll not apeak for others -?many a one there ore, who must hnro strong drink to give them faUe spirits, on them will I spend it to open their hearta, and make them forget their day's toil. You arc n worthy fellow, nnd n philosopher, said Lord Amplefield, with a look of triumph aa ho nnd the squire rode off. Whataay you to my shepherd now?" MA mighty plausible follow, indeed! Yet proud aa you are of hiin, my lord, I'll bet a SfO#c of sheepthit before two d.ivs I make him led yoti .t bare fated lie, out anJout." ~ pi| i n in inn "Done!" said hi* lordship, and tho squiro set out on-hie its-making expedition. He eoon ascertained the cause of Darby's melancholly. There had been a quarrel hetwi en him and the girl of bis heart, the lovely Caulhleen. Pride prevented a reconciliation, > though both would have given the world to be in each other's arms. To her the Squire bent Ids steps, succeeded in drawing out the secret i that she loved Darby with a heart and a half, and then artfully upbrading her unkindness in neglecting the " worthy young fellow," who was dying for her, contrived to inveigtoher, by a scries of falsehoods, into a plan to get reconsiled to Darby, and while in tho height of his happiness, to coax the rani from htm. It succeeded next to admiration, and tho hiughing girl tripped home, leading the animat with a kerchief taken from her snowy bosom. Darby was left now to his solitary reflections. Tho hour was rapidly approaching when his lordship usually took his round, and he would infallibly miss his favourite ram. What was to bo done1 To tell a LIE appeared to his honest mind the very essence of degradation ?to equivocate wav meanness execrable? yet an excuse must be had I A sudden thought sci/.ed him?ho resolved to see how a lie would look before he told it; and planted his crook in the field, and placing h?s hat on it, in order to personate himself, he retired a short distance and in tho character of his lordship, hailed the cfligy as follows: "Good morrow, Darby." "Good morrow, my lord." "How arc the flocks today, Darby." "Pretty fair, my lord." "Darby, I don't ace my favorite ram?where is he 1" 'Oh, my lord, he - he ho" 'He what, Darby 1" "lie was droWnd-ed?my?tny lord." "D-irby if I did not know your general character for carefulness, I should feel exceedingly annoyed, but I presume it was an accident. Send iho fat and hide up to the castle." 'That won't do I" murmured Darby, slowly turning away. Unresolved to try again. ' Good morrow, Darby." "Good morrow, my lord." "Are the flocks well to day, Darby." Bravely, rny lord." And my ram Darby, whero is he." 'My Lord, he he? " Is there any thing wrong? tell mcatoncc." He was sto-len,my lord." "Stolen ! stolen ! I saw him this morning as I was riding past. When was he 6tolen 1" "That won't do either," exclaimed the poor shepherd, as he turned away the second time. ?Cruel, cruel Cauih !" Something whispered to him, ' Try if perhaps tho TRUTH will do?" Fresh courage seemed to animate his desponding mind, and wheeling about, he commenced the colloquy, i and coming to the usual interrogation "where's the ram," he dropped on his knees and exclaimed, "Oh! my lord. 1 had a falling out with my sweetheart, and she would not make it up with me unless I made her a present of your lordships favourite ram. Discharge me my lord ; do with me what you please, but I could not bring myself to tell vuur lordship a LIE!" "That w II do!" shouted Darby, springing from his knees, and walking up and down with a feeling of honest exultation. He had scarcely time to compose himself when his lordship and the squire appeared. Darby on the usual interrogation being put, dropped on his knees, and told "the truth and nothing but thi truth," and instead of seeing a frown f gather on his lordships coantenance, he behold him turn with a look of triumph towards tho squire whilo he exclaimed. 'An honest man's the noblest work of God." The ladies are informed, in conclusion, that the squire's forfeited sheep were given to Cauthlcen as a dower, and in taking the hand of her shepherd, she promised never again to j put his truth and constancy to so severe a j trial. I WASTS IN A BALL ROOM. j On Tuesday evening the 20lh ult. aa two ! young men who had been taking a wasps' nest, | were returning to Chesterfield, on approachj inj the town they were attracted to a house by the sounds of music and rejoicing, it prov* ! od to be a dwelling where festivities in celebraI tion of a marriage was taking placo ; and, i claiming some acquaintance with the inmates the young incn joined the festive throng. The wasps' nest, which was folded in a handker- \ chief, was placed in a corner of the room, un- I known to the company, and the dance pro. ! cecded. After a time, the two young men alluded to, took their departure, leaving (whether intentionally or not, docs not appear) tho nest in tho room. The dance continued, when lo! one of the females made an equivocal sort of movement, &nd a precipitate retreat | from the house, her husband following close I at her heels, anxious to learn the cause of his wife's extraordinary conduct. Scarcely had I the party left the house, when a second and I a third, and a fourth of the female guests, I exhibited similar equivocal symptoms, follow. : ed by suppressed shrieks and bewildered looks The male members of the company looked anxiously and enquiringly at the ladies, who in return skipped about the room with wonderful agility, giving sundry indications that their mysterious movements could not be satisfactorily explained. Suddenly tho men became afflicted, thaugli not exactly after the : game fashion as (ho ladies, and a very exciting, but at the same liino very comical scene ensued, to attempt to depict which would bo a hopeless task: it may bo imagined, but certainly cannot be described. The cause of this derangement of the festive circlo was, | however, soon apparent. The fidler, who j I was sightless, feeling something very sharp enter his cheek, dropped his instrument, and { applied his hands with great force to his face, bringing to the earth one of the monsters that had been a source of annoyance. Suffice it to say, somo of the wasps had escaped from confinement, and in revenge for the punish* merit that they had endured, crept up the legs of the dancers, and inflicted their sling. As many as three and four watfs were found i upon one of the females.? Derbyshire Chron. icle. Tin: U. 8. DISTRICT COURT, District of South Carolina. IN IUNKHUPTCY. WHEREAS, Charles W.

THE Chcraw Ac identical Society is now in debt about $1600. Since its establishment has expended, for lots, buildings, and rrpaifs, about $5000; besides lame sums of monev in making up to teachers from time to time deficiencies in their salaries, arising from inade. quale receipts for tuition. Though tie Society lias heretofore received considerable aid from citizens and others not members ; yet the principal burden and the whole responsi. bility (previous to last year) has always rested on those who tcere. The Society now ronsists of few in number ; and at a meeting convened this day, it was resolved to sell the Academical lx>ts and Buildings for the purpose of paying the above debt; unless some measures aro promptly adopted by the community to discharge the name. Most, perhaps all, the members of the Society are understood to be willing to co-operate with their fellow citizens in this matter; but they are not disposed to do it without their assistance.
