Barlow had been an ad¬ the mirer relentless of Napoleon, despotism but wfyen he saw and the ; nsa¬ tiable love of war which marked his sway his opinion was soon changed- He beheld the Emperor make his grand mistake in (he invasion of |lassia, and he was in Paris when the reports of the horrors of the retreat reached the .French capital.

A Feat of Memory. One of the most remarkable feats of memory is not recorded in the book*, though it came before the public in f ular manner in January, 1847. At ney, Australia, a prisoner set up as his defense on trial an alibi, claiming to have been, at the time the complain¬ ant was robbed, at home in his own hut listening to the recital of Horace Walpole’s which novel, “The Old Baron," a man named Lane had, with Other novels, committed to memory, th« declaration matter of time that being disposed of by the Lane’s recitation took two hour* and a half. The Attorney General declared that this was incredi¬ ble, whereupon Lane,clearing his throat began,“In the good the time of King Henry when Duke Humphrey returned from the wars in the Holy Land, where he had been sojourning for a number of years, there lived”—aud had recited several pages when the Attorney Gen¬ eral told aim to stop—he was quite satisfied. But the counsel for the de¬ fense was not, and insisted as the vera¬ city of his witness had been questioned the witness should be allowed to set himself right, also to prove the allega¬ tion novel. as to “Do time by reciting the whole down evidence?” you expect me to take it as stammered the Chief Justice, in great dismay, and and finally Lane a compromise was arrived at, middle the gave a and chapter from the of story its conclusion. The prisoner waa acquitted. BEACONS.

An old story has it that the young him lady betrothed to Isaac Newton left day. a the life-long absent-minded bachelor because, one took her little finger punch philosopher to down the ashes in his pipe. Tha careless Western man here mentioned earned pretty nearly the same fate: An absent-minded gentleman in St. Paul. Minn., reoently applied to the county clerk for a marriage license. ‘‘What’s the l.inde’s name ?’’ asked the official. The bridegroom paused, cough¬ ed, stuttered, sneezed, blew his nose, scratched his head, and finally stam¬ mered,— "“I can’t recall it, but I’ll go and ask Her.” Having obtained the desired infor¬ mation, he returned and paid the fees for the license. A few days afterwards he took his bride to a minister’s house and procliimed his anxiety to be mar¬ ried on the spot. The minister said he would marry them if they had pro¬ cured a license. The groom rummaged in his pockets, and found it not. He had forgotten to bring it with him. “I must have the warrant," said the minister, solemnly. The bride handed her prospe ective lord the keys of his trunk, and h e set out for his house to fetch the document. The marriage ceremony was finally per¬ formed, but the lady was ill at ease. “What comfort can I have,” she mused, “if he can’t remember any¬ thing ?” She forsook him that very af¬ ternoon, and hastened home to her mother.
