All readers of French history aye aeijuainicd with lire character of the Dane of B trgu.idy, gi*i.n,!so:t-«l' Lotus \I V. and pupil of tlio celehrated r'eti- clon. His consort was a princess oi many amiable qualities, and one who had been carefully educated with a vie.v of filing her for the exalted sta tion site was destined to fill. She was however much indulged in ' infamy and girlhood, so that her subsequent conduct evinced many of those trails which are generally supposed to arise from injudi-. ions indulgence. bin- was frank, generous and intelligent, with a degree of sprightlim-ss sum, - times bordering upon levity, ilei husband and herself loved ea, h owtei with a tenderness and devoiemie^s rarely to he found in such exalted stations. But Adelaide had often oc casion to lumen: th * quickness of her temper, which made her prone to sudden and brief excesses of an s er. For this site was, sometim s reproved gently by her husband, wimse own dis position had' be< n skilfully trained to perfect equanimity. The princess vas parti, ulariy sensitive to the dis- npproh.itioii of her husband, and was observed to slum those persons who possessed the virtue she had not been able to acquire, lest the prime should he led to contrast her own hastiness aid im latisue.e with more happily constituted tempers. It happened that Adelaide, had con tracted almost in infau y, au in imate f-‘tends ip with an indigent young wo rn vi of quality, who was chosen as & s litahle companion for her ThU la dy married before the Prin'esS; and, left France wilh her husltan/, wlto was a native of Germany. Adelaide s'ill maintained an inl imut/ corre spondence with Iter, and tyi hearing hat site was lert a widen/ with two children in indigent cireuupturn.cs.slte obtained permission from /lie Duke to summons her to the court of France, and give her a posl about her person. Tile lady, whose name was Marlo- mtte. gladly oh >yed the summons, ‘ltd returned to her, native country, vith her two portionless( hildren. 'But he court of the French King was not a place for a young, lovely anil tin- •irotpcted widow. Madam Mnrto- v*tte prudently declined the post of-' ered her liv her friend, and retired loan hunihle and romantic countn s *at, on the borders of the Si ine "here she wns often visited by the ’’tincess wlto frequently prevailed on her to visit those scenes, in which she would consent to take an active part. Madam 'Tartonctte was a wo man of distinguished talents, and al most rivalled Madam de Seviguo ip t,h«> tvilliancv of her literary ermposi tions. Ilcr suiuuue was favorable to the culture of those talents, andrtn a lillte white she came toil.aid as ui.i ol the first tomale wrnc.s ot the day.

Aieatntmc*, the temper of Adelaide seemed inttier to heei.m. riioit inipu- tumt, than to improve m equanimity. She sullered severe moililit auons Irom this circumstance, aim could not impose on lie.sell snilicient lestric- lions to cut h iter unruly spirit. One nigi.t, after having encounleied ;i se vere l O.illi, t with herself, she dream ed that an angel stood bcfo:e her m a tlooil of radnui. e. After gazing'at her in motionless silence, for a moment, (lie angelic visitor suddenly laid his bends upon her eyes, and temoved .hem instantly. At hist she thought k iself struck with blindness, for site mild dis ern no object before her. •:>iit she prcsciilly became sensil.de 'hel tile angel had taken out her eyes, • uid was holding them opposite her own bosom through which she was en abled to see as through a transparent sheet of ciystul. In a little lime she scanned with minute vision all the most secret contents of her breast. Mas! there was little in the spec-ta le to gratify self-love, fehe saw wha' sin took for a personification of angc:’, grinning fiuiosisly, and gi stiec- liig horribly. But to her surprise tliisevil spirit seemed to he exasper ate in all its excesses by a little ser pent which wound itself in many ton- x ol'itions tlnough the secret i hamhcis of : 'iiageiy, and stung almost to mad ness the persomlication of wrath, tvh ch had become so cot spit, ions an object to her view. This semblance was indescribable in words, hut its aspect, sufficed to make itself intelligi ble to the dreamer, through all its rnyStery, that her besetting sin -of i in iui ienco was the .thing exemplified. Adelaide wept in her sleep, and at letiilh started in terror, from her per turbed slumbers. It was already day, and her maid of honor w.s in attendance to infuim her, that an ecclesiastic waitt.u for iic-r high.less to perform the catholi sacrament of c onfession. 1 his cere mony was indispe. sid le etenlo those oi the in st exalted station, and the Frill e^s had been educated in strict reverence for the taith of her country and ,if her ancestors. Adelaide pre- parcij in much perturbation to icteive the visit of her confessor. As she elite rid the closet uheic the ec.le- si .s-itjwaiied her presence, she per- ceiveilnot her usual tonlcssoi hula monk uf'grcat sanctity who had come to supply his place, as sic kness prevent ed his ^ttendau, e. Adelaide prepai- ed w'ithjmore than usual awe to pour foftli (lift secrets of her heart, under the seal of confession. J n the course of Ibis exercise she revealed her dream and concluded by asking her oiifcssor, u if she was to disregard it as chimera of her sleeping fa:uy? ’— •not if it conveys a useful lesson, my daughter,’' said (he monk. “A truly wise person is always on the w t. h /or instruction, whether it come in the customary or uncustomary course of events. ‘‘Have you no secret sin that can be compared to the serpent in your dream?” “Father,” said the Frio ess, “i have one sin which 1 am awfully conseiot s, but my dream seemed to iudi. ate that sin, under a different personification from- that of a serpent.” Slit* then ex plained herself more fully. “Daugh ter,” said the ecclesiastic, “a ser pent is an apt representation of the vite of envy, have you ever been assailed by that foe?” “who, I!— Father!” said Adelaide, with some thing like indignation. . “My situation places me above envy! There are none hit,her than myself for me to look oir.with that evil feeling: besides it is the the vice of little minds.” “It is the vi< e of human injure.” said the monk gravely—“high as well as low minds and statiiua4inve felt it What was it that enrai^ the exalted Human a- gaiust the humble and despised He brew servant?” Adelaide blushed and her confessor went on. “You say, my daughter that you have prayed to he delivered from this vice of imna- ’ienee which besets you, and yet you have been of late more than usually to> mented by it.

Her temper also improved with her heart, until it became a pro verb in the French court “to he as good tempered as Adelaide of Bui- gundy.“ FEMALE CONSTANCY. Tile following anecdote of Huber, the celebrated naturalist, appears in lite Mi moires stir Josephine. IVi. iiuber’s work on the natural history oi bees .s well known in this country r but we believe it is little known that his observations relative to the habits ol tins insect were made through the. medium of his i\ ife, at a time when he was totally blind. “YVe frequent ly visited,” says the authoress ‘ an in teresting ami remarkable man, M. lluber, nephew oi the friend of Y ol- taire. lie had been blind since the ago of seventeen. At that period lie fell in love with a rich young Indy, who returned his affections, but their parents opposed their union and they' were separated. A few months after he was a fil it: ted with gutta sereua, which deprived him entirely of sight, which he regretted the more be cause he was unable to see the ob ject, of his affection. Ue was sent to Paris with the hope that a cure might be effected, but he obtained no re lief, and returned in despair to Gene va. Mademoiselle Lnllin having been made acquainted with his misfor-' tune, declared to her parents, that al though she would really submit to their will if the m m of her choice could have done without Iter, yet, a* ho now required a person to he nl ways with him, nothing should pre rent her being united to him Hei parents becam * more obstinate than C’'<'r in withholding ihcir consent; hut when she became of age, elm, after having reftised several Brilliant offers married the peison for whom nau formed a disinterested tdl'ection and their imiludl conduct soon ob tained for them pardon for their dis- obeuience. “'I his excellent woman discovered a thousand means of assuaging Hie sad position of her husband. During li e war she composed whole armies witfi pins of various sizes, anu thus enabled iiim to distinguish the position of the different corps. blie’also invenud a plan by w hit h he was enabled u w rite, ami also formed plans en rehef of their residence: in a word, she Ik d but one occupation—that of makin«- the life of her husband happy. To suth a point did this amiable woman curry her attentions, that M. Huber asserted that a restoration to sight wa s no longer desirable. ‘J should not know, said he, ‘to what extent a per son could be beloved; besides, to me my wife is always young-, fresh,, and pretty.’ M. lluber had a great taste for natural history. He had read to him a great number of works on this subject, and particularly rela tive to bees, of which ho was very fond. ilo discovered that all tfio works which treated on that subject were very impeifect. He requested Madame Huber to provide hers* If with a glass, and to examine carefully fbo formation and habits ofthebee.-^ VYitli her assistance he made several discoveries, which he" published un der the title of licdurclus sur ks A-' bellies, a work wlii< h is very highly spoken of.” ” PROSPERITY.
