WOMAN’S £O.VE.
BT A SISTER OF MRS. HEMAN’S.
Men cannot lore as women do; they may
Be all devotedness, and seem to five
And breathe but in the idol’s sight; may look
things she has touched as sanctified;
slay thrnk'offfier all day—dream all the night
Of her fair facel^d her remembered voice;
Be feverish—maaOT^l into jealousy,
If she have but a smile that is not tlteir’s;
May be lured back to tenderness again
By a kind word; may linger on her'steps—
Hang on her smiles—but still they caunot love
As women da. Their love is ^>ut a dream,
A witchery—an enchantment—anti it dies.
Leaving, perchance, come ^ : ,t;le lingering ligh{
tyl the horuon of their thoughts, but not
The glory and the beauty ofits dawn 1—
Butter’s/, if it be dreamy, never dream •
jjTcd aucji rcqlity. ft doth imbue
The very essenceofher life—doth tinge
Her heart, hersoul, her deeds, iter words—doth^Ti
Its object with all radiance, and then worship
The glory it hath made; it doth endure
Asa fixed star, that sets not. ’Tis her World:
Time cannotchange it—it defieth time;
Sorrow doth fail to dim it—like the fire,'
That burns the brighter for some spri nkled drops.
Tears do but feed its flame. Neglect, unkindness—
They only prove its troth. Would die smooth cheek
Be pale and withered—the rich hair tarn grey—
Tbe lip be parched an j fevered—tbe eye dim.

embracing the infinite varieties uf human inter
ests, caprices, passions, anil purposes, nothing
could seem more improbable. But it has al
ways been the coqrjse of things. Without Chtpr-
ienjagne, the little principalities of Gothic Eu
rope would neyer Iiaye been systematised into
an empire ;—without Luther, what could have
been the progresss of the Reformation?—with
out ^Tapolefln, jlie JFrench Revolution would
have burnt it?elf out, vanjshed iqtq air, or sunk
int,pashes. He alone collected its materials,
combined them into a new and powerful shape,
crowned this being of his’own forma ion with
the imperial robe, erected it in the centre of
Europb, an/J ,cajled the nations to bow down
before a new idol, like )he gptjs pf the ^ndiat)
known otdy by its mysterious frown, the start
ling splendor ofits diadem, and the swords and
serpents grasped in its hand.
Thjjt the character pf Napplpon was a singu
lar cop j pound of tjje highest inteilectuul powers
with the lowest qioral qualities, is evidently tlio
true description of tins' extraordinary being.—
TJiis combination fjonp accounts fof the rapid
ity, the splendor pf big career, and tlio sgdoeo
and terrible completeness of his fall. Nothing
less than pre-eminept capacity co.ul.d hgye sjfo}
hinrpp through the clouds und tempests of the
Revolution into the highest pl^ce of power. 4
mixture of this force of mind and desperate sel
fishness of heart coultjl alonp haye suggested
apd sustained t|jo system of the Imperial wars,
policy, ant) nm^tiap f and the discovery of pis
utter faithlessness could alopc have rendered
all tlnones hopeless of binding him by the com
mon bonds of sovereign to sovereign, and com
pelled them to find their .only .security fpr thp
peace pf Europe in consigning him to a dungeon.
He jyas tlto.pply jpstance ip mpderp histpry of
a monarch dethroned by a universal conviction:
warred agamst by mankind, as the sole object
pflhe war ; delivered over into cnp.tiyity by tjie
unanimous judgment of na.tioqs ; and lipid in
the same unrelaxing apd judicial fetters untijho
died.
It is another strjkipg feature of ihis .cptaslyo-
phe, that the whale family of Napoleon sank
a'png syith him. 'jfhey pejthey possessed his
faculties, rtor wete guilty of his otfences. But
as they had risen sbleay by him, Jtii.ey perislted
entirely with him. Future history will con
stantly hoyer pv,er this period of our annals, as
the otic which most resembles some of those fab
ricatious of the Oriental geuius, in which )ju-
man events are continually under the guidance
and many articles under co«t. Any dry goods or shoes. 0 f SD i r j ls of the air ; in which fantastic palaces
end tiller irucles of tlte present stock will be sold for good u °r , . r .1
are erected by a spell, and the treasures of th,e
earth ^pvejQjipd by the \vqyo of a wand—in
which the mendicant of this hour is exlialtcd
into the prjncp of the next ; and while the
wonder still glitters before the eye, another sign
of the necromancer dissolves the whole pageant
into air pgaiu- Human recollection has no re
cord of so much power so widely distributed,
and apr-orenljy so fixed above all ihe ordinary
casus lilies of the world, so instantly pnd so ii-
retrievabiy ovetthrown. The kings of earth
rnvv are not undone at a blow ; kingdoms do not
p.p‘ JEfb. change ijieir tilers without a struggle. Qreai
passions and groat havoc have always preceded
tind followed the fall of monarchies. But the
four diadems of the Napoleon race fell frotn
their wearers’ brows with scarcely a (ouch frorr}
the hand of man. The surrender of the crown
by Napoleon extinguished the crowns actually,
ruling over millions, nnd virtually influencing
the whole Continent. They were extinguish
ed, too, at the moment when tlte Imperial crown
disappeared. It '^ad no sooner been crushed at
Waterloo, than they all fell in(o fragments, of
themselves:—the yvholc' dynasty went down
\vith I^apolep^ j'^tq the dungeon, ant} poj pep
of them has since returned to 'the wot Id.
T-hp nnjne of General Count Mdhtholon is
well known to this country, as that of a bravo
ofljeer, who, after acquiring.! distinguished rank,
in the French army by his sword, followed Na
poleon to St. Helena ; remained with him du
ring his captivity: and upon his death was
made the depositary ofiiis papers, and his ex
ecutor. But his own language, in a letter da
ted from the Castle ofHam in June, 1844, gives
the best account of his authority and his pro
ceedings.
“ A soldier of the Republic, a brigadicr-gcn-
.eral at twenty years of age, and minister-pleni
potentiary in Germany |n 1812 and 1813, I
could, Idee others, have left memoirs concerning
(ho things which I sqw : but the whole is efflt-
ce’cj from my tnind in presence of a single thing,
a single event, and a single man. The thing is
XVatcrloo; the event, the fall of the Empire ;
and the mnn, Napoleon.’-
He then proceeds to' tpjl ps, that he shared
|bp St. Helena captivity for six years ; that for
forty-(wo nights he watched the dying bed of
(he ex-tfloparch I nni * ifrafi by Napoleon’s ex
press desire, he closed his eyes. But to those
flmifinof |— : —*~ r ~\—*rl ir wpi-ft nffitpi] official
service?, tyhiph Ip.ftkqd giucli more like tyranny
than the trjhqte of personal regard, and which
we should think ipdst have worn out the pa
tience, and tried the constitution of the most de
voted follower ofthis most extraordinary caplive.
Napoleon, though apparently contemptuous
of the opinions of mankind, evidently felt tho
strongpst anxiety to make out a favorable} $(atp-
meqt lor himself. And all his hours, except the
few devotpd to exercise on horseback, and lo
sleep, and tq meals, were employed in comple-
ting jbe n^j-rafiye whicli was to clear up bis
character to mankind.
During the last years passed in St. Helena,
Napoleon sent for tht?pount eyery night at 11
o’clock, and continued dictating )o him until 6
in tl)p mornjng, when he went into the bath,
dismissing the count witJj—“Come, jpy son,
go and repose,and conic to me agajn atflo’cjock. .
We shall havq breakfast, and resume lire Jabofs
of the night.’’ At ninp ho returned and re
mained with him till one, when Napoleon went
to bed. Between four and five, he sent for the
pouqt qgain, qnd at nine o’clock left liinj, fo rp-
furq at eleven.
The world little knew the d> edgery to u/luclt
these unfortunate followups of the Ex-Emperor
were thus exposed, and (hey must all have re
joiced at any termination uf a foil so remorse
less and uriclieepiqg.
Napoleqn.vyas fond of the Turkish doctrine
of fatality. Whether so acute a mind was ca
pable of believing a doctrine so palpably con
tradicted by the ponjmon circumstances of life,
and so repugnant to reason, cap scarcely he a
question ; but with him, as with the Turks, it
was a capital doctrine for the mighty machine
vyhjch he called qn army. But the count seems
to have beep a true believer, He, too pro.
nounces that “destiny js wrifteq.” and regards
himself a$ being umier the pecufiar influence of
a mnfigntint $tar, or, jn h/spwn words: “In
fiipt, vyiflioqt haying sought it, my destiny bro’t
me into contact with (foe j^ m peror in the Elysee
Bourbon, conducted me, jyjljjogt piy Rowing
it, to the $horps pf fjoulogpe, whpre honor im-
posed up#an me the necessity of not abandoning
the nephew of the Emperor in presence of the
d ingers by which he was surrounded. Irrevo
cably bopnd tptlie misfortunes of a family, l
am now perishing in IJajq; t|ip c.qptiyify com-
nteqced }n §t. [feleqa.”
Of Count Montholon, it iqusf acknowledg
ed, that lie was unstained by cither the vices or
the violences which scandalised Europe so fre
quently by the leaders of the French armies.—
He appears to have been at all times a tnau of
honorable habits, a§ hp ceriajidy i? of striking
piteiligence. But we have ho faith in his doc
trine of the star, and think that he would have
acted much nporc \visely if he had lpft the stars
to take c#re of themsejves, ayoided thp blunder
of mistaking the nephew of Napoleon for a he
ro and a genius, and stayed quietly in London,
instead of risking himself witty an invasion of
valets to take the diadem oiT the mpst sagacious
head in Europe.
The narrative commences with thp return of
Napoleon to Paris ofifif his reqown, hjs throne,
and hjs dynasty were alike crushed by the Brit
ish charge at Waterloo. He reached Paris pj,
six in the morning of the 21st. It is now
clear that the greatest blunder of this extraor
dinary man was his flight from the army. If
lip ftnid remained at its head, let its styailpretj
jCOtiditimi be what it might, lie would liavp been
powerful, have awp.d the growing hostility of the
c apitai, and have probably beep atyle to rq a ke
peace alike for himself and his nation. But by
UujTying to Paris, all was lost : he stripped
himself of his strength ; he threw himself op
flfo mprev of his enemies ; and palpajbly ,cap ;
inflated to the men who, but the day bcfyfe,
were trembling under the fear of his vengeance.
