During: the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, there dwelt in the city of Brest an aged man, named Dubois. and his son Charles. They oc- cupied a rather dilapidated inn on the out- skirts of the city, into which (public rumor said) many persons were seen to enter, who never came out alive. Downward they fly, o'er rugged heights; In terror in that mighty tide They wildly plunge. The Indian’s WllOOp ls heard, and tells how they have died. fiiisccflanwus Reading ’Tis well!

The authorities, however, not having any? substantial proofs did not trouble themselves about the matter; and if the innkeeper and his son were really as guilty as they were re- presented to be, their secrets were so carefully veil:d, that justice could not penetrate them. So they lived on as usual, seeming not to no- tice the aspersions thrown on their good name; and whatever their private life might be, in public they were always friendly to the neighbours; nor would their outward appear- ance denote the murderer and assassin. These peaceful fieldsâ€"this plan? 1 stream To-day presents another sggh : The sun has shed its golden rays-â€" The happy scene is bathed in light. Napoleon’s career was now drawing to a close. From every quarter of Europe, im- mense armies were hastening to overrun the fertile plains of France, even as the Goths and Huns, led by Atilla, rushed to the conquest of ancient Gaul. Every man in France capable of bearing arms was summoned to the rescue of his country, and from the most distant pron Vinces in the empire, bands of determined re-‘ cruits hastened tojoin the grand army, anx- ious for the success and glory of the “ Little Corporal.” Among those who started from Brest was Charles Dubois. Perhaps'it would 1 have been more consonant to his wish to have remained at home, but the father knew it would seem strange if his son rested in his native city while his companions hurried to . battle for their homes and liberties. Tne heroes of the past are here, And side by side in gallant file Are those who saved their countr} then, And those who only waita trial. That. noble heart, the Man of Karsâ€" A fitting piace for him to sfundâ€" Has graced the Spot where British blood Was shed to save our forest land. Now began Napoleon’s last campagin. Like a torrent he rushed upon the Prussians under Blucher, and in two successive engagements, drove them across the Rhine. But the sun of his glory was fast sinking; and near the little village of Waterloo, it disappeared, leaving the victor of Marengo, Lodi, and Austerlitz, a fugitive without an army. The allies entered Paris. Louis. the Eighteenth, was restored, and the French, with their usual fluctuating disposition, were content under the sway of the Bourbons, whom, a few months previous. they had shed their blood to overthrow. The scattered host of Napoleon journeyed slowly :towud their homes, where relatives 'téjoioed Long may he live.

The light was still burning on the table, but the heavy breathing of the sleeper was also distinctly audible.â€" The door was silently opened~ the murderer enteredâ€"the bloody work was soon completed. But. as the victim threw up his arms with a convulsive shudder, a mark on one of them caught the old man’s attention. Bending down, he scanned it eagerly, and with horror recognized a burn received by his son Charles in his youth. His brain whirledâ€"animation deserted his tottering limbs, and, with a éIâ€"lfiek that roused die whole nelghberhood from slumber. fell lifeless .on the oaken floor. It seems that Charles, anxious to give his father an agreeable surprise, resolved to con- ceal his identity till the morning, when he would gladden the old man’s heart with the .mowledge of his return. and with the money in his possession enable him to retire from business. But Providence intervened. In- stead of awaking to the enjoyment of life, he was cut off in the prime of manhood by the hand‘of his father. The old man was so hor- rified at his mistake that he immediately gave himielf up to the authorities, co11fesseii the murder, and his head fell under the guilâ€" lotine. From [Moore’s Rural Newâ€" Yorker. Much has been said and written upon this subject, yet how few of our educators seem to understand anything of the real and proper method of imparting instruction. Generally speaking, some youth. just emanicipate’d from the confinement of the district school, Where he has, perhaps, “ been through the Arithmetic,” and obtained a slight smatter- ing of English Grammar, Geography, Ste}, imagines himself fully prepared to teach “young ideas how to sheet,” and 'thusl equipped he starts forth in quest of employâ€" ment. Thisobtained, he commences the usual routine of hearing recitations, solving problems, and the thousand-and-oue duties ‘ which present themselves with each revolv- ing day. The children measure his capabili- ty to teach by the readiness with which he answers their arthmetical puzzles,â€"â€"and the parents judge of his proficiency and soccess by the rapid strides with which their offspring march through their text books,â€"-the num- ber of times they have been through their read- er: ,â€"â€"and the favorable account the children b 11g home of their Wonderful proficiency in fair various branches of study. ‘ dare, it appears to me, is one cause of the man imp ertect teachers.
