‘Old Alabama;’ he liked the description of

struck a trade in no time.
“Jerusalem! And here I’ve been trying to

better land than your’n too, and you know
it, Squire. Well, what is ’tis. and cant be no

and baggage, having made up my mind not
to leave such admirable quarters as long ns
the army remained within ten miles of the
Mincio.
“It is all very fine, Donna Lucia,” said I to
myself, ill the spirit of a true campaigner,
opening your house for the night only; but
if there be blarney on the Irishman’s tongue,
or the least taste in life of softness in your
heart, it is neither this week or the next that

I took care, In the first place, not to alarm
Donna Lucia’s housewifery by any demands

terms, after which Don f ietro made me a low

I made believe*to take a final leave;
but it is not every day in the year that wild
Irishmen are seen on the banks of the Min

mo depart without obtaining some informa
tion about foreign parts.
“Where was 1 bom?”
“In Ireland.”
“Os what religion ?”
“A Roman Catholic of course.”
“You are, then, a Christian f”
“An ugly man, but a good Christian.”
“Did you know the great O’Connell ?”.
“Did 1 not? He was my first cousin.”
“h'vero ?”
“ VcriSsimo.”
Oil! what a blessing it is to have a cousin
of the great O’Connell under our roof!”
“A low bow on my part, and a eulogy of
the character of the Agitator, in which 1 ex
hausted my power of rhetoric, and all the Ital

cantinued:
“He was a great man, an honest patriot,
and a true Christian. He died at Genoa.—
it was in Italy he breathed his last sigh.—
How t love his memory! What can we do
to show respect for his great name, or to do
iioiior to his cousin?”
“Our own,” again affecting to bid adieu:
“Adieu, i;onna Lucia; eternal thanks for
your kind hospitality; 1 must look out for a

“No; bignore', no; your bed is here; when
the officer returns we will find him other quar

not leave otu house. Oh! Dijn I‘iet o,” to

Dow Junior on Quarrelling:.
My hearers! Suffer not the sun to go down
upon your wrath.” One of the most perfect
ly foolish things in the world, is to quarrel,
upon any pretence, provocation, or occasion
whatever, especially with skunks, women, lit
tle men and oripples. There is no kind of
necessity in- it, no nmriher of use in it,
and no species of degrees of benefit to he
gained by it; and yet, strange as the fact
may theologians quarrel, aud politicians
lawyers, doctors, and princes quarrel; the
Church quarrels, and the State quarrels, na
tions and tubes, and corporations, men, wo
men, and children, dogs and cats, birds and
beasts, quarrel about all manner of occasions.
If there is anything ia tiro world that will
make a man feel had, except pinching his fin
gers in a crack of a door, it is unquestiona
bly a quarrel. No man ever fails to think
less of himself after than he did before one;
it degrades him in Iris own eyes, and in the
eyes of others, and what is worse, blunts Iris
sensibility to disgrace on one hand, and in
creases the power of passionate irritability on
the other. The truth is, tire,more quietly and
peaceably wo get or. the better; the hotter
for ourselves and better for our neighbors.—
In nine cases out of ten, the wisest course is,
if a man cheats you, quit dealing with him, if
he is ahurive, quit his company ; if he slan
ders, take Ors to live so that no man will be
lieve lim. No matter who he is, or how he
misuses Van, tho widest way is just to let i
him alone, for there i nothing better than I

French Imperialism.
Whatever may be the calibre of Louis Na- ,
polcon’s intellect, be appears, at least, to un- i t
derstand the ‘(maraCtar of his countrymen. —
Each one of the heterogeneous political par
ties into which French society is divided,
seems to regard him either as a positive good
or as a necessary evil. The inip.erialis.ts rev
erence him as the representative of 1 is impe
rial uncle; the republicans, disappointed and
dispirited, see no chance of a change for the
better, anti prefer the rule of a parvenu to a
more aristocratic despotism; the socialists are
flattered into silence, if not into complacency,
by the half-faced encouragmvnt given by
Louis'Napoleon to some of their doctrines j
and demagogues; while the Bourbonists, pow- 1
ci loss for the present’ regard him as a conve
nient warming-pan for legitimacy.
A concatenation of extraordinary circum
stances has contributed quite as much as the I
force of his own character to give Louis Na- i
poleon his present influence and position.— j
He will owe the imperial crown more to the I
mutual repulsion of parties than to any cor
dial desire on the part of the French penile
to have him for their monad:. He is con- ‘
sidered by the majority the least of several !
evils—nothing more. Wealth, commerce,
and intellgent labor prefer the empire to revo
lution—which, in France, is only another
name for ruin. Perhaps they are right. If
113 noitcT inr to hear the* ills we Have,
Thun fly to others that \w know not of,”
it is certainly a stronger proof of \i isdonn to
bear'existing grievances than to enrii ace a
worse alternative, . the horrors of w hich we
know by- experience.
it seems innrvt Ileus to many of r.s that a
great and eitiightcnod nation should stultify
itself by adopting t ; io most despotic form of
ntouaichy so soon after tho inauguration of a ;
republic, to est blish which it had dethroned ,
a very decent specimen of a king. An exam- !

there ij no choice, between’red repudliean- j

The Washuigtvm correspond?! of tho Bui
titnoreNuu remarks.
Since the last monthly statement, the do.
posits in the various sub-treasuries hare risen
to $20,121,G00, but last week they bad de
clined again to $10,701,701. The Laisscs
Faire economists say this is a very good
thing. They think the coin of the country is
in very safe and respectable keeping when
locked up in the strong boxes of the tr easury.
But on the other hand the financiers of the
regulation school say this twenty millions of
coin ought to be scattered among the people
and the banks for the good of trade and gene
ral convenience. According to a New York
writer 011 money affairs, the banks of the Uin
fill now hold about 60,000,000 in gold and
silver. If this government money were put
into those institutions, they would be able to
extend their bonus and discounts, and make
considerable additions to their circulation,
equivalent to one-third of til) accommodations
of that elmrarter now resting upon a specie
basis. But would this result he beneficial?
One thing however is quite* dear; this sur
plus revenue w ill give rise to squabbles and
scrambles which will end in some scheme of
division for tho benefit of outsiders. When
the treasury was swelled by the immense and
unexpected receipts frqin land sales during
Gen. Jackson’s second term, the surplus ran
up to an amount which it was impossible to
hoard in one* or two years, and the sternness
of democratic principle preluded its being;
spent. It was therefore dislirhuted among/***’
States, in instalments of nine iiiilU"'”’

Tlip Binning of Joan of Arc.
On the 10th May, 1112, this brave but un
fortunate young gi:l was taken from her pri
son, under an escort of one hundred and twen
ty mm at arms, and appear and dressed in fe
male apparel, white on her head was placed
a mitre with this inscription : “ A relapsed he
retic, an apostate, an idelator.” Sfiho was
supported by the Dominican fruits; and in
passing through the streets she excWiM,
“Oh! Rouen, Uonen! must thou lie* my last j
abode!” The cardinal of Winchester, the i
Bishop of Teravanne, chancellor of France, i
the bishop of Peanvois, and the other judges
were seated upon the scaffold, waiting the
arrival of Joan of Arc. When she appeared
she* was heavily fettered,*and, as she mount
ed the scaffold, her face appeared bathed in
tears. Her funeral sermon was then preach
ed by Nicholas Midy; a discourse which, had
his conscience not been totally callous, ho j
would have trembled to pronounce in the face
of heaven, as ho stood confronted w ith the j
innocent victim about f ’ o murdered with i
his consent and concuru The infamous |
P Chauchon; bishop of uennvois, then pro- |
nouedd the sentence of condemnation, at the i
end of which he invoked the secular judges,
who were seated on a lower scaffold to mount
1 the fatal pile where she was to la* burned.
Joan turned round to the bishop of Beauvais, J
.and extending Iter fettered hand towards him, f
“ 1 o it.” she exclaimed, “are the cause of my
death ; you promised to restore me to the !
church, and you have delivered me up to nty j
enemies!” Joan then knelt down, and im
plored the mercy of the supreme Being. She
called upon the ecclesiastics and all around
her, solemnly to assist in Her prayers. Nor, j
’ though her list moments were attended with
< iremnstairces peculi.iily awful, was her un
grateful sOvert ign forgotten. No further son- j
lence was pronounced by the secular tiibu- 1
m l except thi* words “take her away.” T lie I
executioner advanced trembling as la* came !
to receive her from the guards. She asked j
for a crucifix, ami an Englishman present j
broke a stick and formed a sort of a cross,
which she took, ami after kissing it pressed it |
to her heart,and ascended the fatal pile. Before
it was lighted they brought a cross from a j
neighboring church, w hich, at.her earnest re. 1
quest, was placed before her. As soon as 1
she felt the fire approach, with her usual Ln- !
manity, she warned tire priests to retire,—
Tho pile was raised very high, sortliat all the
speetitqrs had a full view of her, in order
thpt any doubt of her-death might be proven- 1
fed. The fire was removed as soon as she |
was supposed to be dead, that the poo; le
11 itr? 1 have'an opportunity of Kcing her bods*.
As long .33 she retained tiie power of ulfor
4tbcn’ the sacred name of fesus was heard to ;
issue f:om the flames. The sobs and groans ;
which the violence of her anguish extorted
frem Iter, alone interrupted her ejaculations.
Her hen t was found eniiie, after the rest of
her body w as quite consumed, the cardinal of ‘
Winchester ordered her ashes to be collected j
and thrown into tire Seine. So perished the ‘
unhappy Maid of Orleans at the ago of lib— J

College.
Boston, Wednesday, Oct. 27.—Yesterday
Mr. Webster’s remains were removed from
the room where he died to the library, whert
the funeral services will be perfonncd. Gov.
Bontwell will attend the funeral.
The Webster Executive Committee anti
Ward Delegates were in session last evening
till midnight. A letter was read from J. B.
Wheelock, of Roxbury, for himself and other
Webster men of that city, recommending tho
party to continue their organization for future
action, but that in consequence of the disease
of .Mr. Webster they discontinued further po
litical action during the present campaign.
A Delegate front Cambridge stated that tho
sentiment of the people of Cambridge was ex
pressed in the letter of W lieelock.
Rev. Mr. Winslow advocated the same
