One beautiful Indian summer day, in ' the au'utnn of 1811, a stranger «| peared in the streets of Hanover, N. H., whose garb besp'ke the utmost poverty and* desti ution As be staggered ale-ng bo* was surrounded by a crowd of villag; boy«, who amused thc-ireelv s by insult j ing him with course gests and personal iudignitie.-. lie bore their abuse with exemplary pa'ieucc, and begged them t). wait till be felt a little bit toe, and be * would s tig them a fino song. His voice was thick with unna'ural excess; and be was too week to protect himself from the rude jus ling of the crowd; yet bn siniltei at his tormenters, and ex hibited no other sense of bis helpless and fori >rn condition thau a look of grief and shame, whi:h, despite bis es- '< forts and smiles, would occasion illy overspread bis countenace. Lite in the ; afternoon, the writer, then a student, passed him in company with a friend, when our a'tention was attraitcei by a voice of unusual power and beauty, singing that favotite na'ioual ?o'ig of j France, ‘La Parisienne.” As be pro ceeded, a great number of the students from the college gathered around him, and at the conclusion an involuntary ex pression of delight broke from the en tire mass, He was enthusiastically en- ! cored, and afterward, the Mats dlltise ; was called for Tbe same rich, clear voice, rang out that wild melody in tbe very words which are wart to arouse tbe spirit of tbe French soldier to fret zy The admiration of the poor inchria e’s auditory was now raised to the highest p'tcb. D spite bis tat:ercd and filthy garments, bis squalid b ard ami brim less hat, now that tbe fumes of liqu r bad sub ided, bis form appeared sy a;- medical und manly, and bis face glow ed with the suiiimnts of the patriotic song and flushed with excitement at the unexpected praise be was winning, as suming an cx, cession of intelligence and j .y that bcauiifudy set - ffbis really flue features*. “What and who is the stanger ?’ was tbe universal inquiry. “Hu singing is incomparable, and his French and Eng li. h are both faultless. 5 ’ “Yes,” said be, dropping bis eyes, “I can give you German, or Spanish, or Italian, as well, or La in or Greek ci ther,” be addid carelessly, in reply to tbe maty questions that were showered up u h in, with the coin he -o much seemed to t c and, be at length said in a sad tone, and slowly endeavoring t> pus his way thri ugh the crowd : “Gentle man i um a poor vagabond, entirely un w\ any y ur kind eymjatby. L ave me to my rags und wiembeduess, and 1 will go i u my way , 5 ’ Hut iur euriesi'y was too much tx eiod to allow thi-, ate! ua ii hi'i-l cheers we escorted him t> a room, where be was furnished with water and entire suit of g i clothes; the b-übers art was brought intoreej lisition, and slier an incredible short tune h; r< appeared upon the c lieges'cps, sndling and bow mg gracefully, a man of flue appsarauee and noble bearing as ever eyes beheld. The delight of the crowd at tLis trans formation was intense, and repeateO lion's rent tbe air. “(jive us La Pari ticuric,” echoed from ali sides and a.- s it ti as silence could be obtained, again that clear, ri-b voice uttered those in spiring words : ‘Tenple Franoaise, people de braves, La Libcrte, touvie ses bras.’’ He was conducted to a tpaeious chap el, and there for two hours he held an audu-Dce spell bound, by one of tie most interesting autobyograpbs that it ever was our lot to hear. Born iu Par is, of weal’hy parents, he had in early life, been thoroughly educated at the University of Wiuembcrg, and received the master’s degree He soon aft< r j dried the fortunes of N ipolcon, and, with the rank es Lieutenant, was with him during all tbe campaign of Egypt, in Italy, iu Russia, and at Waterloo. He had been engaged ill more than sev euty battles, and bn description of pla ces and cities, were expressed iu choice, graphic terms, aud on being compared with history, were found to correspond in eveiy particular. He related many unwritten and curious incidents in the life of Napu con, which had eome undtr bis observation, and fiually closed with a louehing account of his own career af ter the t attic ot Waterloo In the ter riblc rout that foil iw and that memorable event, his detachment was chased by a body of Prussian hussars, and besom ing seatered iu the night, he wandered about three days in the woods and by places without food or diink. The chase at kiigih being given over, tho poor Franc; nun sauk down, sick aud weary wi*b his wounds, and ready to die by the roadside. A Lumane Dutch girl discovered him, brought him re- Ircshmtnts and cordiais, and among th sea ttisk of brandy. ‘•Here,” sud the soldier,'was the begirning of my woes. That angel ot mercy, with the best of motives, brought me in that fl uk a deadly foe, which was tome more potent Dr evil thau all the burnir g tuils of tho Egyptian cam paign, or the intolerable frosts and snows of the Russian : more fatal thao the esnunn of soveuty battles, whieii created in me a (hirst more insatiable titan (hue which forced me to opeu my veins on the desert Funds of the H s.— i'llt tlia.duy 1 never had tasted s’roug drink. 1 hud uttered a vow in my youth to abstain from if, and to that vow I owed my life, for net one of ntv comrades who indulged in the U3C ot it, survived the Kgypnan campaign. •But as 1 lay iu anguish, longing for death, and luoiuei.tai tally exp-.eung us approach, a sweet f»oe apprurtd tome, 1 Wearing au expression ot deep piety and deep sy mpathy for my sufferings, and 1 ceuld but acc.pt without enquiry what- 1 ever she gave me. Bho gently r.ti ed my head, and wiped with her handker chief the dampness Ir on my brow, and administered the cordial to my lips. It revived me, I looked around , my cour age, my 1 ve of life returned. 1 poured forth my grr/itude m burning word-, and call down the blessing* of H aveu up' r* her. Ignorant < f what, it was that so suddenly inspire] me, os soon ns my spin's (1 igged, I called for mi re, I drank again and ag 'ui. For three wciks her loved voice siothed me, and her kiud hands adminis’cd to mv wants. As soon as strength was sufficiently re covedjfearing that some enemy still be lurking near, l had i her adieu with many thanks and feirs, sought the seaside, and embarked ns a common sailor on tho first vessel that (ffered, and have followed the sea ever since 'My fata! thirst has ever aceompaoi and ! me ; in port tnd on deck this foe lias de based me, and kept me from ail ehut.ee of pr motion. Oh, how often h ive I, in the deptos of my heart, wished 1 had died at the. fall ol Waterloo, or breathed out my life in the arms of my gentle preserver Six weeks ago I was wreck ed on the steam packet ship Clyde, of New Brunswick 1 have waudered through Canada and New Hampshire, singing for f few ponies, or begging my bread, till I met your sympathy tn-day llow do these college halls and this no j Lie hand of noble students recall to my | recollections the sc> nes of former years.’ j The emotion of dies ranger for a mo . mont ovi reimo his vo-ce ; when he ri sumed, the tears still coursing each o:hi r down his cheek : ‘I know not why G and should direct my steps hithei; but gentlemen, this shall be the beginning of anew life to me ; aud here in his presence, and that of these witne.-se.-, i swear, as I hope to meet you in heaven, never to tas'e a drop of alcohol in ativ f rm, again.” Pr olonged and deafening c'>eers fol lowed these words, and 1 uutioed many a moist eye A coder; ion was immedately taken, and m re than fifty dollars were put iu to his hand".

Oae dull day in eutumn, just aft r tioop, a balloon r'se into the air at the f ml of Gleet Hills, on the wsstrin edge of the great central j 1 .in of E gland.

E r.ergiug f;o;n thi", the sun shore brightly on the air-ship ; the sl y overhead was of tho clearest and deepest blue ; and below lav cloudland—an immeasurable ex pat.re of cloud, whose surface lotted as solid as that of the caitb, now wholly lost to view. Lofty mountains and d> cpi dark ravines appeared below ; the peaks aud sides of there cloud mountains next to the mio glittering like snow, hut east iug shad 'ws as black as it they were edit] ro:k. Up rose the balloon with tremendous velocity. Four miles above earth! A pigeon was let. loiße; it dropped down through the air as if it had been a stone. ’J he air was too thin to enable it to 11 ■. It was as if a hark laden ti the deck were to pa«s from ihe heavy waters of the open sea into an in land urisalioe Lke—the hail; would sink at orcein the thinner water. “Up, up, still higher ! 'I be spectrum when opposed to the sun, showid mar velously clear ; lines appeared whieh are invisible in the denser atmospberv ori the earth’s surface ; but as the ear swung round in its gyrating upward flight, tlu moment the air. ct riys of the sun pa‘Std off the prism, there was no spec'rum at ill.

Notwiilm'nnding the rain on Tues day, and the inclement chi.racte: of the day itself, the meeting olTiuif growtrs at Stone Mourn an on Wednesday last was a succ'ss. Owing to the charac ter of the weether, and the holding of the Eatontori Fait on the same day, the attendance of those living on ti e line of the Georgia Railroad was not as large as desired, but what it lacked in quantity it made upi in quality. The material was good. '1 he convi ntion was composed of men deeply interest ed in tlie objects of the meeting, and who, unlike the jioliticial, do not wait to catch die tide, but seek to set it in motion.
