His Generals, rutiBcd by his ex ample,dashed into the thickest of ihe fight, and at the head of their respective divisions fell like so many rocks on ine head of Lan nes’ column. Those brave officers almost to a man, sunk liefore the destructive fire that opened upon them, but that dreadful column was clu-ckcd for the first lime in its advance, nnd stood like a living rock amid its foes. Til Austrians were throw n into squares nnd stood like so many check ers on the field. Into the verv heart ol these, Lannes had penetrated and stepped. The empire stopped with him, and Napo leon saw nt once the peril of his chief.— The brave rtiirassinurs that had broken the host infantry of the world were immediate ly ordered to the rescue. Shaking the ground over which they galloped—their glittering armor rattling’ os they came— they hurst into the midst of the e’n- my and charged the now steady battalions with nppnling fury. Round and round the firm s--iinres they rode, spurring their steeds against the very points of the bayonet, hut in vntn.

Peing in snuarcs, the Austrians could fire to ad vantage, while Lnnnes mold only return il from ihe edge of his column. Seeing ihni he dare nnl deploy his men, the Arch duke had the cannon’ wheeled <o within five rods of iliotii, nnd there played on life dense masses. Every discharge open d huge gaps, and men seemed like mist before the destruc tive storm. Still the shivering columns stood as rooted lo the ground, while Lan nes surveyed with flashing eye the disas trous field from wliirli he saw there was no relief. Added 'o this the ammunition ba- gnn to fail, nnd his ow n cannon were less hotly worked. This completed the disas- r; while, to render his situation sfillmnrr- desper le, a region ni had dashed in be tween his lines, which being immediately followed hy others, cut them in twain.— Added to all, the news began to fly over the field that the bridges over the Danube had been carried away hy the heavy boats that had been floated’ down against them. Still Lnnnes nnd his column disdained to fly, nnd seemed lo resolve lo perish in their footsteps. The brave Marshal knew he could not win the battle, but he knew he could die on Ihe spot where he struggled for a continent. Bonn|iarle, ns he looked over the disordered field from his position saw ai oner tlini ihe Iwtilc wns lost. Still in jliis dreadful crisis he showed no ngiiniion or excitement. Calm and collected, as if on a mere review, he surveyed the min n- boiit him, and by his firm bearing steadied the soldiers nnd officers nlnid whom he moved. Seeing that no time wns to be lost, if he would »nve the regiments of his army, for ihe bridges were fast yielding.to the swollen stream, he oidered n general retreat.

The hp that had seemed made of iron during the day, now- quivered with emotion, and the eye that had never blenched in the wildest of bat tle, now flowed with tear*. The voire of affection spoke louder than the thunder of artillery; the marble hearted monarch wept and well he might. For there, be fore him, torn and mangled, lay the friend of his youth, and *he companion of his ear ly career—he who charged by his side at Lodi and Areola—saved his army at Mon- ticello, and Italy at Mnrdeno—who opened Raiisbon to bis victorious army—ney, the right hand of his pow er—broken and 'fallen forever. REAL GREATNESS. He wbo possesses the divine powers nf the soul, is a great being, lie his plaee where it may. You may elnlbe him with rags, chain him to slavish tasks—but he is still great. You may shut him out of your houses, but God opens to him hea venly mansions. He makes no show- in deed in the streets of a splendid eily, hut a clear thought—a pure afli-ction, a reso lute art, ol a virtuous life, will have a dignity of quite another kind nnd fat higher than m-eutnulutinns, of liriek ami granite, ul' plaster and stuceo, however cunningly put together, or though stieu fl ing far beyond nur sight. Nor is this all. Real greatness has nothing lo do with a man’s sphere- It does not lie in the mag nitude ul his own outward agency in the extent of the effects which it produces. Perhaps the greatest men in our cily, at this moment, are buried in obscurity. Grandeur of character is wholly in the ton e of thought, moral prineip'e and love, ami this tnay be liiutul in the humblest condition nl' lile. A man brought up to an obscure trade, and hemmed in hy the wants ol a growing family, may in this uairnw sphere perceive more clearly, discriminate mnn- keenly, weigh evidence more wisely, seize oil the right means more de< isively, have more presence of mind in difficulty than another who has accumulated vast stoics of knowledge by laborious study, and lie has more of in tellectual greatness. Many a man who has gone hut a few miles from home, un derstands human iiatute better, detects motives ami weighs character more saga ciously, than another who has tiuvi lied over the known world, and makes a name l.y his reports of different countries. It is the force of thought which measures in- lelleituol, and so il is the time of princi ple that measures moral great .ess, >hat highest of human endowment, that bright est manifesto of the divinity. The great est man is he w ho chooses the right with invincible resolution, who resists the sore le inplatioiis Irmn within and without, wh< bears the most heavy burdens i heerfully, who is calmest in storms and most fear less under meiiute and frowns, who re liance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most unfaltering—ami is this n greatness which is apt to make a show, or which 1ft most likely to alaiund in conspicuous station.— fi m.

Seldom if ever, in our beloved country have a single winter’s record’s been stained with so many horrid narratives of the mischiefs of the false and cruel code, as has that of the winter just closed. We were going to write, six or eight, hut the present mail tortures us with accounts of sundry zithers of these disgraeful butche ries. 'Whether il is because a taste for such things is becoming more common, or liecause accident has grouped together at this unfortunate period, concurrent influ ences producing an increase of this spe cies ot crime, we know not: the thing is certain. We offer no apology for the duellist, or hisaheimr; but we do assert, thill of ev ery such cilia strophe, society itself, is parti, eps erimiiiis. The whole commu nity brands as a coward, the mail who pockets an insult, or w bo refuses to fight when clndleiiged. And ninety-nine youth in a hundred would prefer being pounded to death in a mortar, to being thus dis graced. If ever this evil is eradicated, it most be, not by law, hut by a change in public opinion. Men otherwise, virtuous, and even religious, must cease to speak and think contemptuously of those who refuse to fight aduel.ni who when insult ed seek some other means <>f redress. In thul heart-rending case of Pleasants and Ritche, the published documents show, that this feeling of public opinion, exerted its full influence t a difficulty of a similar natutre with one of the parties, having been amicably, but honorably settled, anil then alluded to, in the discussion that led to the rencontre. We repeat it, this as well as other evils, of a social kind as well as moral, must he suppressed by an en lightened and virtuous public sentiment. On this subject, the public feeling, what ever the tongue may say, is not opposed to this vanda like practice. . H. K. Christian Index. A FARMER’S LIFE. I wish I could read in all our farmers a disposition to magnify theie calling; but 1 have been grieved in many a I’aim house to listen to lamentations over what they term their “hard lot.” I have been the resident upon a noble farm, all paid for, talk about drudgery, aud never having their work done, and I have especially been sorry to hear the females lament over the hard late of some promising youth of seventeen or eighteen, who was admira bly filling up his duties, and training him- self liu extensive usefulness and influence. They have made comparison between his situation, o atsely dad, and working hard, ft coming in fatigued, with a college rnusin oryonng man who has clerked it in a store, till at length the boy has become dissatisfied, and begged off from bis true interest and happiness, I am conversant with no ttuer scenes nf enjovraent than 1 have witnessed in American farm houses, and even in log cabins, where the father, under the inflo- encenfenlightened Christianity, and sound views nflifr, has gone with his family, as the world have termed it, into the woods. The land is his own, and he has every in ducement to improve it; he finds a healthy employment for himself and family, and is never at a loss for material* to occupy bis mind. I do not think the physician has more occasion for research than ihe farmer; the proper fimd of vegetables and animals will alone constitute a wide and ellers; rivalling in this respect the most aristocratic French' and English ladies.
