As Napoleon was riding out, attended by several officers, I was one of the party we rode past a forest where some w’oodmen were cutting timber Observing one of them sing ing, the Emperor, with a smile, turned round to us aud said, “Observe that man, who, though toiling hard fur his daily bread, seems to be quite hap py.” The woodman observing so many persons looking at him, made a respectful bow, and approached us to inquire if we had lost our way. “No,” said the Emperor, ‘‘but tell me, my honest man, what makes you so cheerful ? What may you earn a day ?” “Three francs, your honor ” “Three francs !” said the Emperor ; “does that support you and your family ? Tell me, how do you manage to do so ?” “With pleasure your honor, if yon will step a little this way With three francs I not on ly keep my wife and family, but I also put mo ney out at interest, and pay off my old debts.” “Explain yourself ?” “Willingly, yonr honor. I keep my wife aud children—l place money out at interest by educating the latter at sehool, and pay off my old debts by maintaining my aged father and mother. So you see, your honor, I may well be happy.” “Excellent man,” said Napoleon, “here is a Napoleon for you,” tossing him the money.— “Keep what you have now told me a secret. I am your Emperor, and on pain of my dis pleasure, I enjoin you to tell no one till you have seen my face at least a hundred times.” “Sire, it shall be so ” Napoleon turned his horse’s head, and re joiued us. The same evening, as he appeared thought ful, Gen, Rapp asked him if anything unplea sant had occurred that day. “No,” said the Emperor, “but I met a man this morning, who, with three francs per day, told me lie lcept his family, placed money out at interest, and paid off his old debts.” ‘Gen tlemen,” continued the Emperor, “you will please me much if any of you can tell me the meaning of what he.said.” All of tis were very anxious to please our Monarch, and knowing that, he had spoken to a woodman in the forenoou, we iode off on the following morning, and having found the wood man, asked him if he knew to whom he had spoken on the previous day. The man said, “Yes, I had the honor of talking with the Emperor.” “What did you say to him ?” “Excuse me, gentlemen, chat I must not tell you.” One of the party said, “I will give you fifty Napoteons to tell me.” The man said. “No, I dare not.” “You shall have one hundred if you will ob lige us,” rejoined our companion. The woodman, after pausing a minute or two, said : “Place the money in my hand, and I will tell you.” We placed it in his hand, and, after he had carefully examined every piece, he told us all that had transpired. We rode off, and on our arrival at the pa lace, asked to be admitted to the Empefot 4 , when we expounded his riddle. Napoleon, pale with anger, said : “Bring the woodman before me, dead or alive ” He was soon found, and ushered into the presence of his angry monarch. “Sirrah, how have you dared to break your promise with me ?” “Sire,*’ said the w r oodman, with great com posure, “I have not disobeyed your com mands.” “How t , slave,” said Napoleon, dare you tell me a lie ?” “Sire/’ said the wmodman, “you told me I should tell no one until I had seen your face one hundred times.” Then, putting his hands deliberately into his pockets, he laid the pieces of money, one by one, before the Emperor, with the heads upwards. “ I here, sire,” con tinued he, “have I not seen your face one hun dred times ?” Napoleou burst into a loud fit of laughter, gave him a slap in the face, called him a cle ver fellow', and made him a captain in the ar tillery, where he proved himself deserving o? his good fortune. Ben Franklin’s Toast.— When after the Declaration of Independence, Franklin was Minister from the United States to France, he was invited to dine with a French nobleman'm company with the British Ambassador. Af ter dinner they were taking a glass of wine, and it Mas proposed that each should give a sentiment or toast. The Englishman led the way, aiid gave, “George the Third —Like the sun in his me ridian glory—he is the admiration of the world.” The Frenchman followed next, and gave, “The Queen of France—Like the ilioou in her bright path through the heavens, she en lightens and influences the earth.” Both now turned to Franklin, confident that he was thrown far into the background ; but Franklin, with great composure, took up his glass aud gave, “George Washington—Like Joshua of old, he commands the sun and the moon to stand still, and they obey him.” Give Your Child a Paper —A child begin ning to read becomes delighted with a news paper, because he reads the names of tiling* which are very familiar, and will make progre.4 accordingly A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter’s schooling to a child, and every fa ther must consider that substantial information is connected with advancement. The mother of a family, being one of the heads, and having the more immediate charge of children, should herself be instructed Children amus< and by reading or study,are of course more considerate and more easily governed. How many parents who have not spent tweuty dollars for books or papers for their families, would give hun dreds to reclaim a son or a daughter who had ignorantly or thoughtlpssly fallen into tempta tion. 1 A Court Scene. Here is another of those western court scenes which ‘we read about,” as related by Jenny Nobs. _ It will do : Ju4ge B. of Missouri, was in many respects a remarkable raan. He stood 7. feet 2 inches in his boots, and was as fond of a frolic as the most rattling lad in the country. He conld drink more liquor, ‘lift’ a heavier ‘bag o’raeaF and play a better game of ‘poker’ than any man in his circuit. These admirable qualifica tions of course rendered him the most popular Judge on the bench of his district. Yet he never lost his dignity while on his bench. — 1 here, he w 7 as stern, haughty and dignified.— The least approach to familiarity, when he wms sitting in court, was always resented by a fine, and sometimes by imprisonment. Well, it happened one day, while he wms holding court, ttiat Mr. Jlewzenburv, a rough looking, but lent customer, came into the court room with his hat on his head. This the Judge considered an indignity offered to the court, aud forthwith ordered Mr. D. to take off his hat. To this Mr. Dewzenbury paid no attention, which being observed by his honor, he ordered the Sheriff to “take the man’s hat off.” “Take your hat off,” cried the Sheriff. Mr. D remained motionless, while the Judge proceeded to business. At last raising his eyes, his honor again discovered the incorrigi ble standing with his hat upon his head. “Sheriff !” cried the court, “take that man’s hat off.” The Sheriff approached and repeated the comwwnd of the court. “I’m bald,” said Mr D., “and cannot com ply.” “Yon can’t !” exclaimed the Judge, w'axing angry, “then I fine you five dollars for con tetnjpt of court.” v ’jJfluUY that you say, Judge?” replied Mr. tY.ffilfC walked deliberately up to the Judg£p stand. “1 fine you five dollars, sir, for contempt of court ” “Very well,'’ said Mr. D , as he carefully put his handjnto his pocket, and palled out a fifty cent piece. “Very well, here’s the mo ney,” handing the judge &the half dollar, “this squares us up, Judge You owed me four dollars and a half whea w r e quit playing poker last night, and this makes us even ” The bar roared, the crowd smiled, and the’ Judge pocketed his ‘change’ without uttering a word — — Tlie Grave of President Monroe. The New York Times calls attention to the fact, that the remains of President Monroe are barred in a burial ground in that city, witb -■llNigfiKHiOMKt te~mark his resting pLree He lies Beneath a simple slab, upon which is mere ly the inscription : “James Monrce, Robert Tillotson. Vault No. 14L” There is noth ing to indicate that the James Monroe men tioned is the Monroe who was in the battle of W hUc Plains, and received a ball in his shoul der at the attack on Trenton ; w r ho fotight by the side of LaFayette at Brandy wine ; w r ho was Minister to France in 1794, and afterwards to England ; who was Secre tary of State in 1811, and for two full terms President of these United States. Yet such is the fact, and that weather-stained slab of marble, tw'ofeet square, is all the monument Monroe has. The Times states the following additional facts : As Mr. Monroe was a Virginian, it is the supposition of most people that lie died and within the Old Dominion, but this is jA error. Mr. Monroe in his last days, resided with Samuel Gouverneur, late Post Master of this city, who married his only daughter ; their residence was on the corner of Prince aud Elm Street. The venerable Dr. Francis tells us that he often met Mr. Monroe walking out, when tilt weather was fine, and that on these occasions he was the object of the most affectiouate at tentions. He has often met him, making pur chases for the family at Centre Market, where all the stallmen knew and honored him. He was tall and spare, very modest in his bearing, dignified and gentlemanly. In his address, he was hesitating and diffident, as polite to the poorest and humblest as to any. He w r as one of the most industrious of men, a hard student, and his carts left their mark on his face. The wound that he received at Trenton was felt many years afterwards —indeed, throughout all his life lie occasionally suffered from it. His last illness was a long and tedious one. Tils“uitWaant, sflts his son-in-law’s family phys ician, Dr. Berger. He expired at I()i o’clock on the morning of the 4th of July, 1831 His funeral was a very imposing one—-the largest that at that time .had eves been seen in New’ York. The Military,- under General Jacob Morton, Grand Marshal, filled Broad way from Prince to Broad Street, through which it passed to theCemefry. The day was fine, and the signs of mourning were generally adopted by our citizens The vault in which his dust still lies, is on the east side of the Cemetry, just to the right of the main walk as you look in from th£ f-utrance. . Ihe pas scr-ljy will notice a small pole, on which adov e house is perched. Within a yard of that pole is the sacred spot. Mr Monroe shares even his grave with another man. He had no wealth when ho died, aud in his death, no tomb of his own. Good Shooting. —The South Western Inde pendent published at Fayetteville, Arkansas, •fT'espcmsible for the following : Bep Calaker was describing, the other day, to Tip Onstost, the skill of a sportsman in Mis sissippi, with the short gnu, “Why,” said he, “I have seen him take two patridges and let them both go, one in front and the other behind him, and he would fire and kill the one in front, and then whirl and kill the other 1” “Did he have a double barrel gun ?” enquir ed Tip. “Os course he did !” “Well, but,” said Tip, “I can beat that—l saw a man do the same thing with a single bar rel P Freedom of Speecli. There has been quite a burst of fiery indig nation, ala Burlingame, at freedom ot speech being beaten down by bludgeons, and the vio lence of southern men has been held up at the North as shocking and brutal in the attempt to restrain the expression of free thought in a free country. The following occurance, which lately took place in a Northern hotel, where many Southerners were collected, is worth re cording, both in evidence of the pluck of the bold defenders of Sumner, did omne genus, and the courtesy of Southern men: A loud talking Massachusetts deelairner, un dertook, in a crowd to give vent to a very ve hement denunciation of the course of Southern men in their efforts to put down free discussion and free speech—that every man was entitled to give his opinions freely on any question, with out being attacked with personal violence, Ac., —that he for one would ever uphold the right, be the consequences what they may, &c. A quiet Southerner remarked that he thought there was a limit to such expressions, and that there were many occasions, which it was neith er courteous nor proper to say what one thought. The Northern man was very belligerent, and said he claimed the largest liberty for every one, who should be answered and not beaten. This Southerner quietly said to him: ‘Suppose sir, 1 were to say to you, which I would not for the world be so discourteous to say, you are a low, contemptible, arrogant? loafer— what right have you to come among gentlemen and utter your sentiments on any question in the vestibule of a hotel ? You ought to be kicked out, and I am very much disposed to do it; and if you are not very guarded in what yon say, you will find yourself speedily rolling in the gutter. Suppose, sir, I were to use such free dom of speech which you so boldly defeud, and to express sueh thoughts that mightlpass* thro’ my mind, would you quietly submit to such language as merely an expression of opinion which every man is entitled to make, without personal notice ? Suppose I were so discourte ous as to apply such language to yourself, would you argue the question with me ? Sir, replied Massachusetts, ‘if you Were so ungentlemanly as to speak to me in such a manner, I would not stay to listen to you.’— And he vamoused amidst the roar of the whole crowd.— Ca roleanain. Political Fanaticism. Ou Saturday of last Week, the Black Re publicans had a grand pow-wow in Shelby, Orleans county, New York, during which they raised a pole someone hundred and thirty feet high The Rochester Advertise rsavs—Duriug the night some persons, supposed to be Fillmore men, a large cross and elevated it tq( the top of the pole, where it was fastened in such a manner that it could not be lowered by means of the rope and pulley with which it was raised. Early in the morning (Sunday morning, be it remembered,) the cross was discovered, and an effort was made to lower it, which proved unsuccessful, and during which the rope broke near the top of the pole. By this time a large crowd had assembled, and prominent among those who were advising as to the best method of letting the cross down, were several Elders , Deacons , and Preachers, who deemed it of more importance to resent what they an iudign ity offered to their candidate for Presi dent, than to attend to the duties of their holy calling. After many unsuccessful efforts to climb the pole, these Elders, Deacons and Preachers, advised the procurement of rifles for the pur pose of shooting away the cross, and the advice was followed 1 What u proceeding in a Chris tian community on the Sabbath day 1 A noisy rabble firing at a cross during the hour for church service, while standing by, aiding and abbeting, were men occupying the first positions in the church! The cross was finally brought to the ground and the crowd dispersed. But the finale is not yet. Yesterday morning complaint was made be fore a Justice of the Peace, and a number of those engaged in the Fremont demonstration of the day previous were arrraigned and fined for a desecration of the Sabbath, and among them was one of the preachers who figured most conspicuous in the attack upon the cross J- Great Pedestrian Feat. —[From our sport ing correspondent.]—Paddy Hoofs, the cele brated pedestrian, but better known at Lords’, and the various commons in the neighborhood of London, as the “Hammersmith Antelope”, is still carrying’ on his herculean feat of walking round a lady ih full dress 100 times in 100 con secutive days, He is now in his second week and looks as free as when he first started. There are bets to a considerable amount that Pad dy will never be able to complete his arduous undertaking. What makes it all the more difficult is the fact that a fresh lady is substitu ted every day. It has been observed that the dresses of these various ladies, instead of de creasing, are actually getting bigger and bigger ahrt'osf efefy week. What the size, therefore, will be before the 90th, much less the 100th days is completed, the most elastic imagination snaps, like an over-stretched piece ofindia-iub ber, in its vain efforts to comprehend. It is also feared that there will be no open space enough in the vicinity of the metropolis to admit of the experiment,as soon as it has expan ded to fullest dimentions, being fairly tried. In the meantime, however, Paddy displays un common pluck. His unfailing good humor and cheerfulness under his trying labors, such as would exhaust the oldest and worst paid post man of St. Martin’s-le-Grand, win smiles of approval even from his fairest rampants. We wish the brave fellow every success, and shall from week to week make a point or several points rather, of recording the onward march of his iron-tipped bluckers and undaunted perse verance.—London Punch A Safe Mode of Betting. —A new style of bet has been introduced into the canvass. A gentleman proposes to a lady of different poli tics from his ewn, to bet a kiss that his candi date would win, on these terms : “It Fillmore is chosen, you are to kiss me ; if Bucbanau, I am to kiss you.’’ if*) Correspondence of the North Carolinian. The Gyeen Rose. This Rose presents quite a phenomenon id the history of Roses, and as its existance has been doubted by many who have not seen it, perhaps it would be acceptable to give its ori gin. It was originally a daily red rose, and was set out in the garden of Mr James Smith, (who is now dead) between the years 1806 and 1808. About the year 1821, a Yenitian Sumach was planted from 3to 5 feet distant from the cluster of red roses, and during that, or the next year, one of the stalks commenced bearing the green roses; and has so continued to the present time. Not long after this, it was’ necessary to extirpate the Sumach entirely, in as much as it was putting up sprouts in every direction and becoming ruinous to the gardens, but this removal of the Sumach, produced no change in the bearing of the green rose. Mr. Smith was of opinion that the roots of the Sumach united with those of this particular rose stalk in some way, and the Sumach pre vailing, had changed the color of the rose. This however, was merely an opinion which he assigned because it appeared the most reason able mode of accounting for its production. This rose has been twice removed from its place and without producing any injury. The original rose bush is still alive and and may be seen at the residence of John Smith Esq., in the county of Bladen. . . The history of this rose, as given above, can be sustained by the best proof in the country, and should there be any who feel disposed to controvert the same, the matter can be easily settled by reference to dates, for although it is within the range of posibility, it would certain ly be very improbable that two such acci dental productions should occur about the same time. The cuttings taken from this bush have been numerous, and have been sent in almost every direction; to the South as far as ‘1 exas, and” to the North as far as New York, at least; so that these very cuttings have produced a considerable supply. But upon examination,, it will be found that this original bush was the first and only one in existance at that time, either in this or any other country—-for no mention is made ot any such rose in history, either ancient or modern, so far as we have, been able to ascertain, or by travelers whe have explored every portion of the globe and com mitted to writing every thing they have seen of either interest or curiosity. We therefore claim for the county of Bladen, the production of this rose; by far the greatest curosity id plants (as we think ) now upon record. How do you like the Picture 7 The friends of Fillmore in Georgia, are wil ling to abide by what his newspapers at the North say of him. They admit the testimony is sufficient. Now for tbq evidence. The N. Y. Cornm ercial Advertiser, one of Mr. Fill more’s leading organs, says : “As between Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fre mont, is the matter of prerequisites for the Presidency, no comparisons are admissible.—r? Even on this very slavery question, which the Courier at pi*esent regards as the main and on ly issue, it is unwise of the Republicans to pro voke a comparison. The only vote or public act of Mr. Fillmore that can be perverted in to a seeming favoring of slavery, was the sign ing of the fugitive slave law, which was sign ed because constitutionally passed by the Re presentatives of the people in Congress as sembled. It was an integral part of a grand compromise measure which the Courier & En quirer has often endorsed heartily and une quivocally. Is our contemporary prepared to say that Mr. Fremont ever expressed his dis approval of that compromise, fugitive slave in cluded ? Or that he would not have, signed it, in the same circumstances ? We imagine it is not prepared to make any stand upon equal ground. The reader has only to look at the votes of each gentleman when respec tively in public life, to find that Mr. Fillmore is immeasurably a belter anti-slavery extension man than John C. Fremont .” Now for the N. Y. Express, the Editor of which paper is a near and dear friend of Mr. Fillmore'. Hear it. It says : “Why ask this question ? What reason af fords Mr. Fillmore’s life for the asking ? Look, at his votes in Congress, when representing the Erie District, New York. Contrast them with Fremont’s when only IT working days in the United States Senate. Mr. Fillmore is the only President under whose administra tion free Territory has been annexed to the Union. Louisiana. Texas, Florida were slave Territories—but California, under Fillmore, came into tbo Union ‘free.’ Why doubt ?” If Mr. Fillmore refuses tospeak put his sen timents, when asked for them, his organs are pretty candid. They don’t mince the matter. We say with the Express, “Why doubt ?” — Nobody doubts, Mr. Express ; all are agreed as to Fillmore’s opposition to slavery and it* extension. He hates it so bad that when the barrier was removed which gave a Southern man the right (o carry slaves North of 36-30, he, Fillmore, cried out, it’s a Pandora’s Box, worse than a Pandora’s Box. dcd. Inion. Editorship.— ln the early days of journalism iu this country, a single individual performed all the duties of editor and publisher, to which were sometimes added those of foreman, clerk and collector. In these latter days, labor is divided and sub-divided. None but periodicals devoted to a single topic, such as Agriculture, Temperance, Odd Fellowsh p, &c. can now be conducted with decent efficiency by a single editor. In tht leading journals of England aud our great cities, there are Political, Financial, Foreign, Classical, Critical, Agricultural, The atrical, Musical and other departments suppli ed by as many different editors. An able con temporary expressed a doubt whether, any living man knows enough, or one liftime is lorrg enough, to master the various knowledge de manded in the editorship of a good newspaper Rich mond Dispatch.
