MISC ELLATTY AN ADVENTURE THE AGENTS STRATAGEM. M. Augustine Lafont was the confidential agent of a heavy banking house in Paris. Early in the Spring of 1832 he set out from Paris with bills, notes, drafts, &c., to the nraount of over a million of francs, for a house in Cbaumont, and much seeresy bad beeu observed in the preparations for his journey, as the kingdom was at that time infested by n secret organization of thieves. Lafont had the notes concealed in the various parts of his dress, and taking the heavy diligence as his best mode of conveyance, he set out on his mission. Nothing worthv of note occured to arrest Lnfont's attention, until lie had passed nearly through the department of the Seine and Marne, when, just at nightfall, two well dressed gentlemen hailed the diligence, and claimed passago to Chaumont. It was already too dark for the ogent to clearly distinguish the features of the new comers; but yet, from what little he could see, he at once made up his mind that their countenances were not unfamiliar to him, and, having come to this conclusion he determined to watch their movement?, for a vague suspicion that tKey had by tame means become possesse'd of the secret of his business, took possession of his mind. The deligehce crossed the Seine at Nogent, on/1 llintfa ramn!nb/l Pr*?* 'lin rnnrKfr A a en An VUVIIV ?UU4UIIIV\? ?v?

A million francs I was a large sum, and if the two Parisian u robbcis had set their hearts upon its possession, ho had yet some work to perform ere j( he would he entirely free from them.

V ly folded tliem in an euvelope, which he ^ strongly scealud and bound with a blue rib- q bon. ? At three o'clock in the morning, while it |( was yet very dark, and before any one else ^ was stirring, Lafont quietly descended from his room and went to the stable. The ^ garcon was easily aroused, and in a few moments the ngent was on his way to Chauraont. For two hours ho rode on his way, but instead of pursuing the high road to Troves, he again crossed the Seine and kept -r along by the banks of the Aube. Daylight was just beginning to streak the enstern p heavens, when T.afont thought he heard the ^ sound of horses behind him, and it was not ( long ere he knew be was being pursued, and in ten minutes, he was assured that tho two n robbers were after him. In a moment the agent leaped from his saddle, and seizing a heavy stone, be inflictcd a severe bruise upon one of bis horse's fore legs. The animal j( reared and plunged, but Lafont managed to .1 ? ?' LI hold liim, and again mounting, lie drove on, w but the horse limped and staggered beueath the effects of the blow ho had received, and in a short time the other two travellers j, came up. p( 'Ah! good morning, gentlemen,'said the agent as lie reined in his lame steed, at the same lime raiding liis hat vitli affable politeness. 'So it seems, you, loo, aro tired of the lumbering diligence.' P 'Yes,' replied the foremost of the two men, 'the diligence did not exactlv suit our 11 finnVftnionw? cr? wo Ati?- 1 1 'Are you bound to Chauuiont?' asked j ^ Lafont." l< 'Yes?that is?probabty.' 'On business?' 'Yes, important business.' 'That is fortunate,' said Lafont, with tho Ll utmost earnestness, 'for you may, if you see fit, do me a great favor. I, too, have ira- ? portant business at Cliaumont, but I fear n tbat without assistance I shall not be able to a accomplish it. I havo gentlemen, in my c possession, a vast amount of valuable papers, ? and intended to havo continued on my way P in tlio diligence, but at Nogent, I received 16 tlie intelligence that there wa9 a plan on c fuot to rob ce.

Dying Man Turning to tho Days of their Youth. Mr. Benton's death, says the Episcopal tecorder, presents two striking, though not incommon lessons. The first of these is lis letter to two of his old. Tennessee col- ( jagiies, requesting that there should bo no ction of Congress in connexion with his uncral. That in obedience to those priniples of economy, the strict construction of rhicli he had been so conspicuous an exlonent, he should have made such a re- ( uest, was nothing more than a natural rogress of reason. But that he should avo sent such a request through two of his ovisli Tennessee associates, was something lore than a mere reasoning progress. With lissouri his political history had been as aciated. In tho Missouri delegation lie ould still find attached adherents and dooted friends. But Tennessee was the :ene of his youthful memories ; and to 'ennessee, therefore, his dying thoughts, in bedienco to that law which establishes the erpetuity of mind, wore turned?"Caelum ue adspirit, et dulces moriens reminisci' !/? Argos" The phenomenon 19 common, though ot insignificant. Dr. Johnson, when ho ame to die, forgot those conorous Latin limits which had delighted him in his raajrer years, and was heard uttering a child's yiun which he had learned 011 his moler's knee. Dr. Rush tells of old Swedes ho, on their death-beds in the hospital, ' joke Swedish, though they had dropped 1 io use of it for sometimes fifty years, [ant, in the shadows of his dreary death, I jund no consolation in the speculation? to ' rhich he had given 60 many years of powrful thought, but waa molested bv the jund of martial music, which he had heard hen a boy in the streets of Regensburg. 1 ?i? ? nioi?u, nireu uyu'g, ' Babbled of green fields," bough llie old debauchee had for years >und his residence and his delight in the >wn. There is au important- induction to he ( rawn from these phenomena. It is that lie human mind rises above corporeal and ; imporal conditions. Time disconnects not le subtlo links that bind its processes to- ( ether. As if to prove this, memory is , lade to bring in union the associations of 11 others the most remote?those of infan- 1 y and old age. The human frame chanea once every seven years. None of the articles of either of us, as existing now, exited seven years ago. The mind, however, UIIVIIIUUO WtlU onutCf JJIC30I Y Jllg 119 IUU1V1UU- ] lily entire. The inference is clear. Di6- | Dlution of tbe body in one shape affects it , ot; neither will the dissolution of the < ody in any other shape. The changes . om childhood'to old age destroy not its loraory, neither will tbe change from old , go to death. What an awful conscious- | ess to awaken to, that all tho memories of ie sinner's life, with their consequent re- ' lorse, are to be his companion . forever. | IIo'x.

From a condensed report in the Hartford papers we select the following admirable closing paragraphs : ' But there is something worth living for besides money. That is very good, but it' is not all.

Wore it possible Com being wlio line] resided upou our globe to visit the inhabitants of a planet where reason governed, and to tell them that a vile weed was in general us'o among the inhabitants of tho globe it had loft, which aHbrdod no nourishment; that this weed was cultivated with immense caro; that it was an important article of commerce; that tho want of it produced real misery ; that its ta?te was extremely nauseous ; that it was unfriendly to health and morals; and that its use attended with a considerable loss of time and property ; the account would be thought incredible, and the author of it' would probably be excluded from society for relating a story of so improbable a nature. In no one | view is it possible to contemplate tho crea | ture man in a more absurd nnd ridiculous j liglit than in his attachment to Tobacco. The progress of habit in the use of tobacco is exactly the same as in the use spirituous liqii' r Tlie slaves of it begin by using j it only after dinner; tben, during the whole | afternoon nnd evenings; afterwards before i dinner, then, before breakfast, ^and, finally, during ihe whole night. I Knew a lady who had parsed through all these stages, who used to wake regularly two or three times every night to composo her system with fresh closes of snuff. The appetite for tobacco is wholly arti' fic.ial. No person was. ever born with arelj fell for it; even in those persona who are inuuh attached to it nature frequently re! covers her disrelish to it. It ceases to be 1 agreeable in every febrile indisposition.? This is so invariably true, that a disrelish to it i3 often a sic;nofan approaching, and a return of the appetite for it, a sign of a departing fever. I proceed now to mention some oftho iufluences of the habitual use of tobacco upon morals. /\ I ir i o 7 i woo oi uic usual enecis or smoKing ana chewing is thirst. This thirst cannot be allayed l>}- water, for no sedative or even insipid liquor will be relished after llie mouth and throat have been exposed to the stimulus of tli? smoke or juice of tobacco. A desire, of course, is excited forstrotig drinks, and these, when taken between meals, soon lead to intemperance aud drunkenness. The use of tobacco, more especially in smoking, disposes to idleness, and idleness has been considered as the root of all evil. "An idle man's brains," says the celebrated and original Mr. Bunyan,_"is tho devil's ,nn.l.ol.,.n ? ??vi u.auujs. Tlie use of tobacco is necessarily connected with the neglect of cleanliness. Tobacco, mora especially when used in smoking, is generally offensive to those people who do not use it. To smoke in company, under such circumstances, is a breach of good manners; now, manners have an influence upon morals. They may bo considered as the outpost3 of virture. A habit of offending the senses of friends or stran. gers by the use of tobacco cannot therefore, be indulged with innocence. It produces a want Of respect for our fellow-creatures, and this always disposes to unkind and unjust behavior towards them. Who ever knew a rude man completely or uniformily mor HI t ^ In reviewing the account that lias been given of the disagreeable and miselieivous effects of tobaoco, we are led to inquire, what aro its uses upon our globe, for wo are assured that nothing exists in vain.? Poison is a re! i tivo term, and the most noxious plants have been discovered to.afford sustenance to certain nnimals. Jiut what animal besides man will take tobacco into its mouth ? Horses, cows, sheep, cats, dogs, and even hog", refuse to tasle it. Flies, mosquitoes, and the moth are chased from our clothes bv the smell of it. liut let us not arraign the wisdom and economy of nature injllio production of this plaDt. Modern travellers have at last discovered that it con slilutcs the food of a solitary and filthy wild boast, well known in tlie deserts of Africa, by the name of the ltock Goat. I shall conclndo those observations by relating am anecdote of the late Dr. Franklin, A few months before his death, he declared to one of his friends that h(Fhad n?*er used tobacco in any way. in the coufseo?his long life, and that be was di*pdfe& to believe there,was not much advantage^} be from it, for that Ue'bad never met with a mnn who used it-who advjaed hira to follow his example.?

This is the lesson which is taught in the charter of our independence; this is . the lesson which our example is Jo teach the world. The epic poet of Rome?the faithful subject of an absolute prince?-in unfolding the duties and destinies of his countrymen, bids them look flown with disdain on the polished and intellectual arts of Greece, and i .i.?: i... i utv.ui LIIVJII aiio tw uc To rule the nations with imperial sway; ' To spare the tribes that yield; light down the proud; And force the mood of p'caee upon the world. A nobler counsel breathes from the charter of our independence ; a happier province belongs to our freo republic. Peace we would extend, but by persuasion and exflmpl%?tho moral force, by which alone it can prevail among the nations. Wars we may encounter, but it is in the sacred character of the injured and wronged ; to raise the trampled rights of humanity from the dust; to rescue the mild form of Liberty from her abode among the prisons aud the scaffolds of the elder world, and to seat her in the chair of stnte among her adoring children; to give her beauty for ashes; a healthful action for her cruel agony ; to , put at last a period to hor'war on earth ; to tear her star spangled banner from the perilous ridges of battle, and plant it on the rock of ages. There be it fixed forever? the power of a free people slumbering in its folds, their peace reposing in its shade. jcj veren. j Recreation.?Speaking of the difference between sport and dissipation, dancing and old-fashioned playing, Edward Everett lias remarked, "that the , Americans, as a people?at least the professional and mercantile classes?have too little considered the importance of healthful, generous recreation. They have not learned the lesson coutained in the very word, which teaches that the worn-out man is recreated, made over again, by the reasonable relaxation of the strained fap.ultips.
