I cannot stain this snowy leaf
VVitbout a sigh of pensive grief!
As musing on my days 8'°n° bl’:
And those that still before me he,
I read a mournfiil emblem here,
That few could read without a tear !
For as my musing eyes least,
Upon the pages that are past, A _
I search them all, but search in vain
To find even one without a stain !
But what has been. l5 {Wt t° l’°>"‘
The happy future yet is free :
Far as my forward eye can go.
The future still is white as snow ;
So free from stains, so free from cares,
The tainted past it halfrepairs !
It is "a goodly sigh ! but oh !
Too well within this heart. I know
That this fair future, at the last,
Shall be itself the tainted past.

A FRENCH AND AN AMERICAN
GENERAL.
Napoleon was still at Strasbourgli, says
Bourieune, when the exigency ofa particu-
. or occasion made it necessary for him to scpk
uf}‘u.v.::- .in tho oorprc of.’ listl-
gineers to whom he could confide a mission
of great delicacy and importance. “ He
must be prudent and w_cll informed, he must,
observed the Emperor, be able to push a re-
conuoissance to the utmost extent." This
was at the outcast ofthat famous campaign
of 1805, which ended in the defeat of Mack
and the capture of V'ienna. _ Marescot, the
eneralrto whom he applied, immediately de-
tached fer the particular service a young cap-
tain, who received his instructions and execu-
ted them with promptness and fidelity. He
pushed his way almost to Vienna, and was
back again atthe imperial head quarters a-
bout the time when the unfortunate Mack
was compelled to surrender. Napoleon per-
sonally interrogated the young oflicer, who
in addition to his verbal answers, was ready
with a written report of his observations, and
took the liberty to advise adirect march on
the Austrian capital without reference to the
fortified towns. If we may believe Bourrien-5
ne, whose narrative, although a delightful
work, has lately been most seriously charged
with inaccuracy and misrepresentation, the:
Emperorwas highly offended with the young
captain. He asked him how he dared to trace
plans ofa campaign for him ? Begone, said
he, and await my orders 1 Rapp, who was
present at this scene, relates that when the
young man went out, the Emperor instantly
changed his tone, and remarked of him that
he was a verymeritorioiis cfiicer, that he was
too valuable to be exposed to the stroke ofa
bullet, and that Berthiei must send him into
11]).-ria without delay. This affected the
young Captain deeply ; with almost a broken
heat, be obeyed the order, which he consider-
ed no other than punishment for his presump-
tion. At the close ofthe canipaign,and when
the list of promotions to the rank of Colonel
was made out by Berthier, the name ofthe
young man did not appear. This looked like
astill further disgrace until it was explained
by its insertion, at‘ the head of all the others
on the list, in the hand W riting of the Empe-
ror himself. This temporary eclat was not
followed up however by any further notice on
the part of Napoleon for a number of years.
The varying incidents in the life of the great
Captain necessarily drove from his mind the
con:-ideration of many less important subjects.
In :1-812, however, some particular inforina-
tion was required in relation to Illyria and
Ragusa. Marmot was applied to, and his au-
swer were far from being satisfactory to the
‘Emperor. Several other general oflicers
were examined, and to as little purpose.--
luspector of Engineers was then called on to
designate some oflicer who would be able
-to-give the requisite information.--- After a
little reflection, the Colonel to whom we have
-alluded, was narnnd as being perfectly famil-
“ Ali!” said the Ein-

iar with the subject.
peror, " I lmow him——Where is he ?"
Anvers, employed upon the fortifications
“ A telegraphic deapaLcli——lct the Colonel
mount and be here without drawing bridle,”
said Napoleon. These messages were always
executed and obeyed like magic. The per-
son to whom they were addressed, felt it an
honor to receive them. In a few days. the
Colonel ivasin the Emperor’s Cabinet, and
after communicating what he knew, was com-
plimented with the remark,_ “ now I know
Ragusa E" The conversation then turned
upon the works of Anvers. The Emperor
stated in what manner he would turn his po-
sitions and carry his batteries. The Colonel
growing bold in the familiarity ofthe moment,
declared in what manner he would foil the
attacks. Enchanted with his readiness and
struck with his ability, the Emperor actually
took him with him to attend a sitting of
the Council of State, and asked his opiii-
ions upon the matters in discussion. VVhen
the Council broke up, the Emperor turned to
him and said, “ you are my aid-dc-camp !"_
After the ensuing campaign, he was made a
Brigadier, and then a General of division.—-
Upon the downfall of Napoleon, to whom he
was ardcntly attached, he rejected the most
brilliant offers made him by several European
Governments, and came to the United States
ofAmerica. Our readers will hardly require
us, after this sketch of his remotcst career,
any panegyric on Gen. Bsnxxnn !
Fortunately for this country, he was im-
-meditely taken into its service, and his plans
and executed works are considered master-
ipieces, ofskill and talent. He is certainly
one of the greatest engineers of the day, and
since his return to France has been taken in.
to active employment, and has assumed his
old rank in the armv.——ln the approaching
contest between the friends ofliherty and the
despots who oppress Europe, we have no
doubt that his defences will be admirable and
his skill of the highest importance to the suc-
cess of the French arms. Since the days of
the great Captain, until now, there has been
little field for the display of military talent,
and the man who has ranked as the ablest a-
mong his generals, and yet has lived amongst
us almost unknown, will doubtless leave new
mementos behind him of his superior genius
and ability intbe profound science of engin-
eering. A

A LESSON FOR J URORS.
A judge, who lately travelled the _norl.h_WeS1
circuit of Ireland came to the trial of the
cause in which most of the local consequen-
ces of certain demagogues in the neighborhood
were concc-rnc_d ; it was the case of a.land-
lord's prosecution against 8. poor man, his ten-
ant, for assault and battery committed on the
person ofthe prosecutonhythe dcfendant,in the
preservation of his only ciiild, an innocent and
beautiful girl from ravisliment. When the
poor man was brought. into the court, the
prosecutor, appeared and swore most men-
fully to every article in the indictment. He
was cross-examined by the Jurors, who were
composed of honest tradesmen and farmers.-
Tlie poor man had no lawyers to tell his story;
he pleaded his own cause, he pleaded not to
the fancy but to the heart. The jury found
him not guilty. The court was enraged; but
the surrouiiding spectators, gladdened to ex-
ultation, uttered shouts of applause. The
Judge told the Jury they must go back to
thcirjury room and reconsider the matter;
adding, “ho was surprised they could presume
to return so infamous a verdict.” The Jury
bowed, went back, and in a quarter of an
- hour returned, when the foreman, a venera-
ble old man, thus addressed the bench; “ My
Lord, in compliance with your desire, we
went back to ourjury room ; but as we found
uo reason to alter our verdict, we return in
the same words as before, not guilty.--We
hoard your lordsbip’s extraordinary language
of reproof, but wedo not accept it as properly
or warrantauly applying to us. It is true, my
lord, that we ourselves, individually cousidcrd
in our private capacities, may be poor, insig-
nificantincn therefore, in thatlight, we claim
nothing out of this box above the common re-
regards of our humble but honest stations; but,
my lord, assembled here as ajury, we cannot
be insensiblr-. to the great and constitu ional
importance of the department we now fill; we
feel, my lord, that we are appointed, as you
are, by the law and constitution, not only as
an impartial tribunal to judge between the
king and his subjects, the offended and offen-
der, but we act in a situation of still greater
confidence ; for v. 0 form, as a jury the barrier
of the pedplc against the possible influence,
prejudice, passion, or corruption of the bench.
To you, my lord, mcetieg you within these
walls, I, for my own part, might possibly meas-
ure my respects by your private virtues; but
the momentl am enclosed in this place, your
private character is invisible ; for it is, in my
eyes, veiled in your official one, and to open
conduct in that only can we look.
This jury, my lord, does not, in this busi-
ness, presume to offerto tliatbencli the_small-
est degree ofdisrcspect, much less ofinsult ;
we pay it the respect 1 tribunal should pay to
another, for the comiuon honor of both. This
jury. my lord, did not arraigntbat bench with
partiality, prejudice, infamous decision, nor
yet with influence, passion. C0l'rUpt1oni OP‘
prcssion or tyra.noy;—-no, we looked to it as
the mercy seat of royalty, as the sanctuary Ol
truth and justice. Still,'my lord. We cannul
blot from our minds the records of our old
school hooks, nor erase the inscriptions writ-
ten on our intellects and memories. Hence
we must. be mindful that monarchs and jutlg'-
es are but fallible mortals, that tyrants have
sat on throncs,aud that the mercy seat of roy-
alty, and the sanctuary of justice, have been
polluted by a Ticesillian, a Scraggs, aid a
Jeffries. [Here was a frown from the bench.]
Nay, my lord, I am a poor man, but I am
,1. free born subject of the kingdom oflreland,
.jl mernber of the constitution , nay, I am new
higher, for I am the representative thereof.
I therefore claim for my self and fellow ju-
yors, the liberty ofspeecli ; and ifl am refu-
sed it here, I shall resume it at the door of
this court house, and tell them why I -deliver-
ed my mind there instead of delivering it in
this place. [Here the bench assumed com-
placenry.]
I say, my lord, we have nothing to do with
your private character; we know you are
here only in that of ajudge; and as such we
would respect you ;-—you know nothing of us
but as a jury ; and in that. situation we should
look to you for reciprocal respect, because we
know of no man, however high his title or his
rank, in whom the law or the constitution
would warrant an unprovoked insult towards
the tribunal in whom the people have vested
the dearest and most valuable privilege they
possess. I before said, my lord, that we are
here met, not individually, nor do we assume
pre-eminence ; but in the sacred character of
ajury, we should be wanting in reverence to
the constitution itself, if we did not look for
the respect of every man who regards it. We
sit here, my lord, sworn to give a verdict ac-
cording to our consciences, and the best of
our opinions, on ‘the evidence before us. We
have in our minds, acquitted our duty as hon-
est inen. If we have erred, we are answera-.
ble, not to your lordship. nor to that bench,
nor to the king who placed you there, but to
a higher power, the KING OF KINGS!"
The bench was dumb, the box silent ; but
approbation was murmured throughout the
crowd; and the poor man was discharged.
To illustrate the extraordinary virtues and
indepeneence displayed by the above jury,
would require more than ordinary talents;
suffice it to say, that it ought to be instilled in-
to the mind, and the lesson engraven on the
heart of every man, that he may be prepared
for that exalted station.
Is THIS KlDNAl’PING ?—In hopes of stum-
bling on it reward, B. arrests an Ethiopian,
and commits him to prison on suspicion of his
being a slave. No evidence is offered of his
being such,but circumstances prevent his pro-
ving his fiedom. No one claims him, and he
must. now be sold for his jail fees. C. pur-
chases him at the jailor’s sale for one dollar
and sells him to a trader for four hundred dol-
lars, and the unfortunate finds himself trans-
ferred from the Washington to the Alexan-
dria jail for safe keeping, till an opportunity
is offered of sending him to the souiliern mar-
ket. This case happened it few days since in
this city. Wliai should society award to the
wretch who could buy a fellow-creature for
one dollar, and sell him into hopeless bonbage
for four hundred? Noble speculation ll We
wish our distant readers to bear in;mind that
these things are done under the sanction of
laws passed by their representatives. They
should therefore look to it. ‘Hail Columbia !!
