HYMN.
Faint not, poor traveller, though thy way
Be rough like that thy Saviour trod ;
Though cold and stormy low’r the day;
Thu path or suffering leads to God.
Nay, sink not: though from every limb
Are starting drops of toils and pain ;
Thou dost hut share the let of him,
With whom his followers are to reign.
Thy friends are gone, and thou, alone.
Must bear the sorrows that assail:
Look upward to the Eternal Throne,
And bear a Friend who cannot fail.
Bear firmly, yet a few more days,
And thy hard trial will be past:
Then wrapt in glory’s opening blaze,
Tby feet will rest on heaven at last.
Christian! thy Friend, thy Master pray’d
While dread and anguish shook his frame;
Then met his suffering undismayed;
Wilt thou not try to do the same ?
Go, sufferer, calmly meet the woes,
Which God's own mercy bids the bear,
Then, rising as thy Saviour rose,
Go, his eternal victory share.
Oh why should the heart of the Christian be sad,
Or his evening be shrouded in gloom ?
Say, why should he sigh when hi* fortunes are
clad
hi night clouds ? There’s light on the tomb !
And when from its thraldom his spirit shall burst
Like the sun from the shades that surround it,
It shall soar to yon heaven as pure as at first
The dawn of the morning beam found it.
Say, why should he weep that the visions of bliss,
Have down at his coming untasted.
Or grieve that the hopes of a world such as this
In the tempests were scattered and blasted—
His home is the light of yon fathomless clime,
And sorrow will but make it sweeter,
To fly to eternity’s boson: from time
On wings by misfortune made fleeter.

NAPOLEON.
From a late English Jiccictc of “ A Voice from
Si. Helena ‘-’
Napoleon did not content himself with
merely retorting on the motives of his tra
ducers. Wherever there appeared any
colour for the accusation he went at length
into the real facts, stating what took place
and what he had to sav in his vindication.
Thus the three great accusations against
him, the poisoning of the soldiers, the mas
sacre of the Turks, and the death of the
Duke D’Enghien, he minutely enters into.
He stales the circumstances which gave
rise to the report of the first, which he as
serts never happened at all, and adds that
there is no person iu England now more
convinced of its falsehood than the person
who gave it tie greatest circulation here,
Sir Robert Wilson. If this be the fact,
Sir R. Wilson is called upon by every feel
ing which ought to actuate an honourable
man to come forward manfully and confess
his misinformation. The destruction of
I£oo Turks he avows and justifies; ap
pealing to ever/ military mao for his jus
tification : hut war, we are afraid, has lit
tle connexion with morality. Alluding to
the death f li.e Duke D’Eoghien, he savs
he was rleoilv implicated in the conspira
cy of Picbegru and Moreau. We take at
random ooe passage on this subject; which
is, however, frequency discussed by Napo
leon at much greater length. We must
premise that he uniformly imputes the de
nouement to the persevering instigation of
Talleyrand.
“ It was found out,” continued Napoleon,
“by the confess! • of some of the coin-pi
rators, that the Due D’Enghien was an ac
complice. and that he was ouly wailing on
the frontiers of France for the news of my
assassin. Mion, upon receiving which he was
to have entered France as the king’s lieu
tenant. Was l to suffer that the Couut
J’Artcis should send a parcel of miscreants
to murdi r me, and that a prince of his house
should hover on the borders of the country
I .governed, in order to profit by my assas
sination? According to the laws of nature,
l was authorized to cause him to be assassi
nated in retaliation for the numerous at
tempts of the kind that he had before caus
ed to te made against me. I gave order*
to have him seized. He was tried and
condemned by a law made long before I
had any power in France. He was tried
fcy a military commission formed of all the
colonels of the regiments then at Pari- 1 ,
lie was accused of having’ borne arms
against (lie repnblick, which he did not de
ny. When the tribunal, he behav
rd with great bravery. When he arrived
nt Strabnrg, he wrote a letter to me, in
which he offered to discover every thiDg
if pardon were granted to him, said that his
family had lost tneir claims for a long time,
and concluded by offering bis services to
me. This letter was delivered to Talley
rand, whn conceal] it until after his exe
cution. Had the Count d’Artois been in j
his place, ha would hare suffered the same i
fate; and were I now placed under similar l
circumstances, I would act in a similar man- i
nor. As the police,” added Napoleon,;
“did not like to trust to the evidence ofi
Mehee dels Touche alone, they sent Cap-’
tain Rosey, a man in whose integrity they
had every confidence, to Drake at Munich,
with a letter frotn Mehee, which procured
hiui an inter iew, the w'lilt of which con
firmed Mehee** statement, that he was con
cerned in a plot to terraster le premier con
sul, no matter by what means.”*
* While the Due D’Enghien was on his trial,
Madame la Marechale Bessiere said to Colonel j
Ordener, who had arrested him, “Are there no 1
possible means to save that malheureuxt Has]
his guilt been established beyond a doubt >”
“Madame,” replied Colonel O.dener, “l found
in his house sacks of papers sufficient to compro
mise the ldf of France.” The Duke was exe
cuted in the morning, and not by torch light as
has been represented. i
lieutenant manning.
Gen. Greece having expressed a desire
to learn the strength and position of the
British forces, who were encamped at no
great distance from our aroiy, Lieut. Man
ning offered to undertake the hazardous
service. He left the camp, and the neil
morning arrived at a poor farmer’s house;
he had been there before, the family knew
him, and he readily obtained the loan of a
shabby suit of clothes, and an old slouch
hat of one of the #on, and borrowing an
old gun, the barrel of which was tied on
with cotton strings, he set out apparently
on a funning trip, and in a few days came
in sight of the British Camp; the sentinel
hailed, ‘* Who’s there ?” he answered,
“ Me !” Several questions and answers pas
sed ; the sentinel demanded what he was
’ after * he replied, “ Why, I am looking for
j a turkey—law, what pretty while linen
houses you have got there;’’ cooling to
wards the tents; the sentinel then stopped
him and look his gun from him, when a
disturbance arose between them; an offi
cer came up, ordered the sentinel to take
hire to the general, where Manning sus
tained his assumed character, stating that
his daddy had gone olf with the tones, as
our neighbours call tuem, and we had noth
ing to eat at home, so mammy bad sent me
out to shoot a wild turkey, hut coming
along here 1 was only lookiugat them little
linen houses, when that fellow began to
quarrel with me, and took my gun away—
and now mammy will scold like all the
world because I staid so long, and hav’nt
killed a turkey yet; so give me my gun
and let me go. as I dareseot go home with
out it.*’ Then noticing the epaulet on the
general’s shoulder, he pointed at it, and
Slid, ‘‘o law, what a pretty thing you’ve
got oa your coat there, I guess it must have
cost five shil.ing—lf 1 had only some of
them guns out (here, maybe I couldn't
9hoot a whole sight o*’ them turkeys,” with
! many oilier clownish expressions. The
youug were amused, and all de
ceived-too, while Manning’s mind and eve
were busy. The general ordered them to
dismiss him—he is nothing but an ignorant
country boy. Manning was soon back to
the house, returned his disguise, and hast
ened to camp, with a full account to Gen.
Greene.
REMARKABLE CANDOR.
From the Madison {lndiana) Republican.
TO THE PUBLICK.
In Ihe presence of the all wise God, my crea
tor, I declare that I have neither haired uur ili
will against any man living ; but have an aversion
to certain acts and practices, and yet am my set f
exposed to some of those failings, and have tried
by all the resolution that 1 am capable of, to rid
myself of oDe particular one, and iind it unavail
ing; and being yet desirous to be freed from it, !
solicit the aid of my friends by prayer to God fur
me, that I may be delivered from intoxication by
liquor, which appears to be entailed on me greatly
to my injury, and averse to my intention, .howev
er strange it mnj appear. Tticu ic ovitlemly aj
difference in the nature of mtu, and as I am die-i
posed to be friendly, I am by this means caused j
to drink, and when I have once tasted, 1 covet \
more, as much as a man would the fire when J
exposed to the severe s * weather in winter, till l
entirely lose my reason, and am driven about
like a salamander, by the spirit of liquor within
me; and it is my earnest wish that, whenever any
civil oificer, or friend of mine shall hereafter see
rne in that way, that they would have me confin
ed either in the common jail, or in some room or j
place, till mv reason returns again ; as it may be j
some guard for me against touching the stuff. 1
do not think that an act by our legislature to that
effect would be a bad one in general, as others
might be benefited by it.

November 14 1822.
CROtiP.
Dr. Reddelin, of Wismar, has communicated
to die Royal Society of Gottingen, through Pro
fe-sor Blnmenbach, the following successful
treatment of Croup, after the usual remedies had
been tried without effect:—The patient was a fe
male, aged 19, who, on the third day after being
seized with the croup, was unable to swallow,
hart begun (o rattle in the throat, and seemed ap
proaching rapidly her dissolution. Dr. Rcdde
lin insinuated, by means of a quit!, a mixture of
Spanish snuff and marocco into her nostrils; and
after repeating this mixture a second time, it ex
cited sneezing and vomiting: this occasioned the
discharge of two long membranous cylinders from
the trachea (windpipe) upon which the rattling
immediately ceased, and the patient was rescued
from instantaneous mffoc.vim. One of the tubes,
when slit open, measured nine French lines iii
breadth; they were quite white, and bore a
strong extension without injury to their fibrous
texture.
To make a Pickle or Brine fur Beef.
To eight gallons of water add half a pound of
saltpetre, one pound of brown sugar, and one
quart of molasses, with as much fine salt as will
make it float r.n egg light, taking care tiiat the
salt dissolve*, lest it be too strong—skim it well
and it is fit for use.
Your beef or tongues should be put in cold wa
ter and remain twenty-four hours, then drained
for an hour or two previous to its being put into
the pickle.
Beef fonguesj veal, or mutton for smoking,
should not remain longer in pickle than ten days.
This pickle need not he boiled, (which ope’ra-
I tion teuds to harden the meat) but will remain
I perfectly sweet till spring, when after your beef
l is used or taken out, it will be found the very best
1 in which to cure shad, giving them a delicious
flavour, and fine red colour throughout.
! This receipt is effered with confidence to the
! Editor of the Farmer, as one of the very best
■ ever adopted. And-it is the opinion of the writer,
will answer fully as well for pork, with the ex
ception that the latter should not be soaked in
water.— Amer. Farmer.
i Horses are frequently burnt to death when
barns or stables are on fire, owing to the impossi
bility of leading or driving them out of the build
ing, while their eyes are dazzled by the blaze.
But we arc assured that by simply covering their
eyes with a blanket, a coat, or a pocket handker
■ chief, they may be led out of danger without
I trouble or difficulty.—JV". K. Farmer.
I Duelling. A nobleman, during his life, had
; fought fourteen duels, to prove that Dante was a
i greater poet than Ariosto; but on his death-bed,
he declared to his confessor he had never read a
I line in either. From causes equally trivial, many
| modern duellists have risked or lost their fives.
A Bau4y of the lit witter, at Brighton, was
last week applied to by an urchin, to read for
him the inscription written on the collar of a
stray dog which he had found, in order that he
might get something by restoring it to its owner.
More good natural tlmp many of his class, be
complied, and read (tolerably well considering)
the following lines
Sltal me no/mystlf and collar
Hath art barely worth a dollar ;
Puppies should befriend each oilier :
See me home, then, dearest brother !
He put down the dog, and departed in high dud
geon.—London payer.
Another Glass. —ln former times an hour was
allowed to the English Divines for the delivery
of their Sermons ; and to be more exact in its
computation, an hour-glass was placed near the
Preacher. Ur, Barrows, being once very much
engaged in hi: subject, which was intemperance,
found his glasi run out before he had said all lie
wished j-on Which he observed, “ My brethren,
the time for conclusion ha* come, but, as the sub
ject is so interesting, we will take another glass,”
and, turning it up, proceeded.

and are disposed, it is believed, to appreciate its

whose reputation and labours have been identifi
ed with itsexistenre and prosperity, that a great
er number of classical scholars have been instruc
ted during that period, within its walls, than for
the same length of time in any < tht-r Academy in
(he State. For the correctness aj:d value of the
instruction communicated, the pubiick are refer
red to those young gentlemen who have, received
their education either wholly or in part at this in
stitution. Many ©f them have already entered
upon the active professions in life, who do credit
to (he place of their education, and who cannot
fail, in process of time, to sustain an honourable
rank among the prominent characters of our
State. The acquirements and reputation of
scholars , furnish the best testimony of the compe
tence and fidelity of teachers.
It has been the aim of the Instructed in this
Institution, to make thorough scholars, ratlirr
than ‘a acquire an ephemeral reputation hy
teaching “ a mass of things, but nothing distinet
ly”—and thus leaving the pupil to become a mere
smalterer at last. Those who would form a cor.
rect opinion as to the manner in which Che La in
and Greek Classioks are taught, are requested ti
consult the literary gentlemen who have from
time to time attended the pubiick examinations in
these branches of a liberal education. In the
common branches of an English education—in
the higher departments of literature andscienet—
in composition and elocution, the examinations
9peak for themselves.
Mount Zion certainly present many advanta
ges as a place for the education of yoJth ; and
tiiese advantages cannot be overlooked by those
parents who intend to send their children abroad
for this purpose. The expenses are as moderate
as in any other part of the country—it is a place
of unusual health—special attention is paid to
the conduct and morals of the students ; and there
are now in the Institution a number of young
gentlemen, who have made considerable advances
in science, and whose example cannot fail to ex
ert a favourable influence over the minds and
habits of those who are in the incipient stages cf
their education.
To parents and guardians the subscriber will
hold himself responsible so, the correct deport
ment and honourable progress of those who are
committed to bis care.
