When the aid of a priest was offered him, he declined the offer. “I need no priest,’ said he, ‘to teach me how to die; I have learnt it in the school of battle.’ He was shot in the garden of Luxembourg; and when an attempt was made to blindfold him, he indignantly tore away the bandage, saying, ‘Have you forgotten that for twenty-six years 1 have lived among bullets ?’ After having.sol emnly delarctlhis innocence of any trea sonable design against his country, belaid his hand upon his heart and cried out ivith the most entire fearlessness arid self pos session, ‘Aim true! France forever! Fire!’ MAGNIFICENT SCHEME. Whitney’s scheme of a Railroad from Lake Michigan to the Pacific Ocean, seems to be attracting a great deal of at-, tendon. He asks of Congress a grant of thirty miles of land on each side of the toad, making altogether a breadth of six ty miles for its whole length: with the condition that the land shall be disposed of only as the road progresses. The ad ditional valge imparted to the poblic lands in its vicinity, it is thought, will quite reimburse the government, so that, as the Baltimore American remarks, bv a BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN VA-1 GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES AT RIOUS NATIONS. The Chaldeans’ and Egyptians’ year were dated from the autumnal equinox. The ecclesiastical year of the Jews be gan in the spring; but in civil affairs they retain the epoch of the Egyptian year.— The ancient Chinese reckoned from the new moon nearest the midble of Aquarius. The year of Romulus commenced in March, and that of Numa. in January.— The Turks and Arabs date their year from the 16th of July. Dremschild, or Gems- ehild, king of Persia, observed, on the GIBRALTAR. We learn from Gibraltar, that a very ahdousand somewhat dangerous experi ment has been recently undertaken by a Mr* Risk, a mate in tbe Royal Navy, be longing to her Majesty’s steamer Locust io exploring an immense cavern in Gibal- tar called St. Micheal; which, from the foal air and accidents occurring to per sons entering it, was considered unsafe From the Christian Renew. LAST DAYS OF EMINENT MEN. Many persons have a great desire for posthumous fame; and the character of their last days is moulded by this passion. They are anxious that, after they have be come insensible to the voice of human censure or human applause, their names should still be honored among men. Mov ed by this principle, several liteary men have risen from their death-bed to destroy their manuscripts. Colardeau, when at the point of death, “as if animated by an honorable action, dragged himself along, and with trembling hands seized bis pa pers. and consumed them in one sacri fice.” Another,an English writerofgreat sensitiveness, who had promised to leave his labors to prosterily, changed his pur pose at the approach of death ; and hav ing ordered his manuscrips to he brought to him, “he raised his feeble hands by an efibit of firm resolve, burnt his papers, and smiled as the. greedy Vulcan licked up every page. The task exhausted his remaining strength, and he soon afterwards expired.” They judged that undiscrim inating friendsip might publish that which being unfinished, wonlil do them no hnn or. The opposite of this occurred in the case of the spruce young divine, who was one day found copying his journal of “frames and feelings,*, in a fair hand, thar on bis demise it might be ready for the printer. When Erostiatus, who set fire to the temple of Diana at Ephesus, was examined by torture respecting his mo tive, he affirmed that “his only object was to gain a name among posterity.” Mr. Everett, in his exquisite piece—“Dirge of Alaric the Visgntb,” represents the* bar barian chieftain as anticipating the feelings with which his name would be recalled by the nation whose capital he had plun dered ; “And Roman hearts shall long be sick, Before the name of Alaric.” It is interesting to observe with what power some master principle of the soul often seems to survive all others—exhibi ting the “ruling passion strong in death.” ‘He who has but a moment remaining,’ says the author of the paper cited at the head of this article, ‘is released from tire common motives for dissimulation; and time that lays his hand on every thing else, destroying beauty, understanding, health, and wasting the power of life, spares the ruling passion, which is con nected with the soul itself. That pass ion “ sticks to our last eand, Consistent in our frolics and oar sins; Her honest nature ends as she begins.' Many striking instances might be ad duced in illustration of this principle.— Almost innumerable are the persons, whose ruling characteristic, having sur vived the wreck and decay of nature, has given proof of its power evert to the last. Sometimes in the tranquility of uncloud ed reason, sometimes in the incoherent ravings of delirium, expressions fell from the lips of the dying, in harmony with the chief impulses of their life. The mental constitution has a keynote whose echoes are heard in death; certain sounds have been ever recurring to the ear; and while the harp is breathing its latest symphon ies,those sounds still linger in expiring cadence. A selection of cases might be drawn from almost every department of human life. Napoleon died in the midst of a violent tempest. ‘The fifth of May,’ says Sir Walter Scott, 'came amid wind and rain. Napoleon's passing spirit was delirously engaged in. a strife more terri- -blc than that of the elements around.— Tpe words tete /farmer, the last which es caped his lips, intimated that his thoughts i.were watching the current of a heavy fight.” Alexander Adam, the' gramma rian, imagined himself in that solemn hour - at hi» old employment of keeping school; 'When the mists of apprachingdeath galh- erpd around him, he took their shadows for the' coming of -evening after-a short ’/Winter’s afternoon: and, as if dismissing 3 liis class, said aloud, “It grows dark ; boys, you may grf.” Sir William Pitt, who, flourished in the troublous times of England’s history, died exclaiming. ‘‘O, my country!” The last words of Quin- cey, animated by a kindred spirit, were, ‘O that I might live to render my country one last service.’ Lawrence passed into the lands and the lands wilf build the road. The American further says: “ The road is not to be built to accom modate a trade spriuging up along its route, but to connect two immense vol- A HEBREW WEDDING umes of trade existingyetforcerl intocir- Major Noalr gives the following account cui, °"! c“"en|s for the want of the pro of a Hebrew wedding in New-York: ' P° ietJ co '”‘e<mon., .™ e elements ol the A few days ago, a Hebrew wedding! va3t eo.r.merce which is to roll along this reciprocity of action,_ tbe road will selljdny of bisT public entry into PersepoHs, tjrat the sun entered into Aries; and in commemoration of this fort unate event he ordained the beginning of the year to be removed from the autumnal to the vernal equinox. The Brachmun begin their year with the new moon in April. The Mexicans begin in February, when the leaves begin to grow green. Their year look place in this city between tw o young couple, who had been engaged some year and a half to each oilier. In order to give all their triends apd companions an opportunity of being present on the occa sion, the Minerva Rooms, in Broadway, were engaged—a practice generally pre vailing in Europe, and worthy of imi tation in this country, as our houses are so small that few beyond the family cir cle can be accommodated at a marriage festival. The ceremony was to take place in the afternoon, and t,he carriages continued to arrive with the Indies and gentlemen until 3 o’clock. The gentle men repaired to the large saloon, which was brilliantly illuminated with gas- In the afternoon prayers were said by the officiating priest, and the ceremony of signing and witnessing the contract then took place, the bridegroom only signing the various obligations in use since the Babylonish captivity. This concluded, a canopy of crimson damask was open ed, and held by four young gentlemen, wearing the ensignia of groomsmen, and from an opposite door the bride entered, dressed richly in white sattin, her head ornamented with white fllowers, from which was suspenped a rich veil, which covered her feco A "r l '’ 1nrr - maids, dressed m white, followed in her train, togother with her mother and a large number of ladies, dressed for the occasion. The parlies were placed fa cing each other sustained at each side by parents and friends, the priest holding a glass of wine in his hand, read the mar riage ceremony with becoming solemnity —when the bridegroom taking a ring from a waistcoat pocket, exhibited it to those around him, to satisfy them of its genuine character, saying in Hebrew, as he placed it on the fore finger of Iris bride, “ Lo! with this ring do I wed ihee, according to the laws, of Moses and Isra el.” Then each tasting the wine over which the blessing had been said, the bridegroom dashed the glass to pieces, in proof of the instability and insecurity of all earthly blessings, and the usual con gratulations and embracing of parents relatives and friends took place. The whole party then retired to one of thesa- loons to parlake of the various refresh:- rnents. About 7, dinner was announced, and the tables, spread with every thing choice and substantial, with all the luxu- iron avenue are the surplus products of two hemispheres—the Atlantic on the one side, and the Pacific on the other are to be its basins. “ The importance then of such a high way of traffic, is not a thing dependent on iiiture contingencies—not a thing which the local wants of the Mississippi and the Oregon vallies may hereafter re quire for their own particular and spe cial convenience. Such a work would not have been premature in point of time if it had been made upon the first discov ery of the North American continent— provided the use of steam anil other fa cilities now existing had been in familiar use. “ If the road is constructed, as propos ed by Mr. Whitney, it will be, when completed the property of the Govern ment. Could the reqiiirerk portion of the public land be disposed of to a better ad vantage?' Nay, if the whole public do main were exchanged for a magnificent work like this, it would be better for thp country than lo have the lands frittered away, year after year, with productive results to squatters mainly. “ As a consequence of the entire pos session n ( \—*- fouto would be no need of dividends— no demand lor profits. The charges for travel and transportation, therefore, would be no higher than would be requir ed to keep the road in repair and to pay the expenses of its operations. In this view it will be seen that great facilities must lie presented lor trade. By the use of steamers on the Pacific, a trip from NevV-York to Canton might be done, say, in forty days. What a contrast to the long voyages round the Cape of Good Hope! Europe, as well as America, would carrv on her commerce with Chi na and the East Indies across the territo ry of the United Slates. “ It is presumed that Mr. Whitney’s undertaking will receive the definite con sideration of Congress at its present ses sion. If postponed, the rapid sales of the public lands ft Green Bay may lake from the Government the power of offer ing a continuous line Westward through its own domain. The project now prac ticable will not long remain so, if the pre sent occasion is let slip. When the pub lic lands for any distance on tbe propos ed route shall have passed into private hands, the work which might now be car- consists of eight months^ having twenty days each, the last five are spent in mirth and no business is suffered lo be done, nor even any service in the temples.— The Abysinians have five idle days at the end of their year, which commences on the 26th ol August. The American In dians reckon from the first appearance of the moon at the vernal equinox. The Mahometans begin their year the minute in which the sun enters Aries. The Ven- itiuns, Florentines, and the Pisans in Ita ly, began the year at the vernal equinox. The French year during the reign of the Merovingian race, began on the day on which the troops were reviewed, which was the 1st of March. Under the Car- lovingians it began on Christmas day, and tinder the Cnpetians on Easter-day The ecclesiastical begins on the first Sun day in Advent, , Charles IX appointed, in 1564, that for the future the civil year should commence on the 1st of January.

A SPANISH 3AEUTY. The Duke of Mootpesier’s bride, Don na Louisa, is thus described in a French journal : “ Never did a more delicate or _ t . finer flower bloom under the rays of a ments living amply served in the course of Castillian sun.

Don na Louisa’s large eyes sparkle like two rubies enclosed in two topazes, beneath the slight arch of her ebon eyebrows.-— Her air nnd demeanor are noble.- In a word, the young Infanta, who has seen but fifteen spring-times, is thoroughly French and Parisian in all that pertains to grace and sparkling wit.” Knowledge.—It was a cruel speech of tbe Frenchman, but a true one, neverthe less, when he said—“ Your • Englishman’ knows all about Tirabucloo, or Hindus tan, or the frozen neighborhood of the North Pole, but ask him about Ireland, the country lying, tiext bis own, and he is perfectly innocent of any information on the subject,” Africa be investigates— Ireland be neglects.

Headaches disordered stomachs, and many other ai lacks are caused often by violating the rules of health, and in consequence some part of the system was overloaded some of the organs are clogged. Omit ting one, two or three meals, as the Case may be, gives the system a chance to rest, and allows the clogged organs lo dispose of their burdens. The practice of giving drugs to ‘clear the stomach,’ though it may afford the needed temporary relief weakens the system, while abstinence se cures the good result without doing any injury.

This gr'eat vulture of the Andes, has been deprived of numerous fictitious at tributes, by the learned Humboldt, hut its natural history is nevertheless, full of in terest. A most remarkable characteris tic of this bird is, its ability to sustain it self in the intensely cold and rarified air, higher than the summits of the highest Andes, from whence it watches for prey. It prefers lo dwell habitually aboye that IhJseen'us'" 31 oThe plains when prompted By the demands ofappetite. These birds do not feed upon dead or piitrified flesh alone, but ofieh attack live animals, com mencing their assault On the eyes, Hum- bodt who remained a yepr and a half a- mong, or near the retreats of these birds, never heard of an instance of their attack ing young children, as has been so often lleged; not could he discover among the Alps, a single case, in spile of all the romantic stories of the kind, in which a child had been carried off by the Lammer- gever, or bearded Vulture of ihe Alpine regions, which in size, strength, and other qualities, bears a close resemblance to the Condor. The tales about the prodig ious size of the Condor,-must also be re garded as fictitious. Humboldt never saw one measuring more than between 9 and 10 feet from the tip of one extended wing to that of the other. Credible inhabitants of the country informed him, however, that they had often seen them having this development nearly 12 feet in length, and he puts down 14 or 16 feet as the greatest 5robahle length. Indeed one Condor lias seen described, in which this dimension was 14 feet.—Sot- Rqm'dicnn. of misfortune come upon you in trpde, retrench—-work harder, .but never fly the track; confront difficulties with unflinch ing perseverance, and they wilt disappear at last; though you should even fail in the struggle, you will be honored ; but shrink ftom the task and you will. be diss * pised.—Christian Citadel. THE HAPPY GIRL. r We find the following in tbe Boston Post i . ■ Ay, she is a happy girl i we know jby her fresh looks and buoyant spirits.

G)ve us tbe indus trious and happy girl, and we care not who worships fashionable and idle simple- tons. War—not Peace.—Reports say that the first business transacted by the Mexican Congress, was to lay on the table the A- merican overture for peace. They then passed a resolution declaring tbeir deter mination to prosecute the war to the last extremities—in the words of nur inform- ant, to make it a war to the hilt. An act was also passed to raise half a million of dollars a month, as required hy the Exec utive estimates for the support of the ar my— thqugh bow the money was to be raised does not yet appear. There is little doubt,- we think, (says the Uuion) that in the capital and Us vi cinity a very exasperated state of feeling prevails among the Mexican population.

There is a great deal of art in selecting those which are best suited to the complexion and gener al style of the wearer, and if ladies would consider this when making tlieif purcha ses,- we should not witness so many glar ing instances of inconsistencies in this respect. We find the following in one of our exchanges, which we copy for the benefit of those whom it may concern. N. Y. Minor. For feir haired or dark haired-ladies, those colors which produce the greatest contrast are best! Thus for feir hair sky blue is very becoming. Yellow and or- tange, tinted by red, are becomiftg to la dies with black hair, and violet and blue- ish green harmonise with the blackness of hair.
