BATTLE OF MOUNTITABOR.
Nztpoleonrs Canssptaign in Egypt.
BY‘ J. T. IIISADLY.
Forty-seven years ago,this month,a form
was seen standing on Mount Tabor, with
which the world has since become familiar.
It was a bright morning, and as he sat on
his steed in the clear suulight,his cye rested
on :1 scene in the va'e below, which was
sublime and appalling enough to quicken
the pulsations of the calmest heart. That
form was Napoleon l3onap.'trte,:1nd the scant.-
before him the fierce and terrible “Battle
of Mount Tabor.” From Nazareth, where
the Savior once trod, Klcber had marched
forth with three thousand French soldiers
into the plain,wliere, at the foot of Mount
Tabor, he saw the whole 'l'urkish army
drawn up in order of battle. Fifteen thou-
sand infantry and twelve thousand splendid
cavalry moved down in majestic strciigtli
on this band of three thousand French.
Kleber had scarcely time to threw his hand-
ful of men into squares, with the cannon at
the angles, before those twelve thousand
horse, tnal<iug the earth smoke and thun-
der as they came, l)lll’:<l’. into a headlong
gallop upon them. But round those steady
fsquares rolled a fierce devouring fire, emp-
‘tviug the saddles of those, wild horsemen
with. frightful rapidity. and strewing the
earth with the bodies of riders and steeds
together. Again and again did these splen-
did squadrons wheel, re-form, and charge
:with deafening shouts, while their uplifted
[and flashing scimetars gleamcd like a forest
‘of steel through the smoke of battle ; but
,that same wasting fire received. Those
isqu-ares seemed bound by a girdle of flame,
‘so rapid and constant were the discharges.
-
l showed where the disciplin was contend-
numbers. The constant flashes from -"be
hind that ‘rampart of dead bodies were lilfe
spots of flame on the tumultuous and
chaotic field. Napolean descended from
Mount Tabor with his little band, while a
single twelve pounder, fired from the
heights, told the wearied Kleber that be
was rushing to the rescue. Thrown into
confusion and trampled unrler foot, that
mighty army roll--tl turbulently back to
ward the Jordan, where Mttritt was anx-
iously waiting to mingle in tlie,?"_glit.—--
='.7ashing with his cavalry among the dis-
ordered ranks, he sabred them down with-
out mercy, and raged like a lion amid the
prey. »Tbis chivalric and romantic war-
rior declared the remembrance of the
scenes that once transpired on Mount Ta-
bo: and on these thrice consecrated spots,
came to him in the hottest of the fight,
and nerved him with ten fold courage.
As the sun went down over the plains of
Petlcstine, and twilight shed its dim rays
over the rent and trodden and dead cover-
ed field, a sulphurous cloul hung around
the summit of Mount Tabor. The smoke
of battle had settled there where once the
cloud of glory rested, while groans and
shrieks rent the air. Nazareth, Jordan
and Moutit Tabor! What spotsfor battle
fields! A
Bell buck twenty centuries, and again
View that hill. The day is bright and
beautiful as then, and the some rich orien-
tal landscape is similing in the same sun.
'l'here is Nazareth with its busy population
——and the same Nazareth from which
Kleber marched his army: and there is
Jordan rolling its bright waters along——the
same Jordan along whose banks charged
the glittering squadrons of Mtxt'at’s caval-
ry: and there is Mount Tabor—the same
on which Buonaparte stood with his can-
non, aud the some beautiful plain where
rolled the smoke of battle, and struggled
thirty thousand men in mortal. combat.
But how different is the scene that is
passing there! The Son of God stands on
that height and casts his eye over the quiet;
valley through which Jordan winds its
silver current. Three friends are beside
Him. They have walked together up the
toilsome way, and now the four stand,
mere specks on the distant summit. But
the glorious landscape at their feet is
forgotten in a sublimer scene that is pass-
ing before them. The son of Mary—the
carpenter of Nazureth—the wanderer with
,whom they have ate and drank and travel-
[led on foot many a weary league, in all the
lintimacy ofeompani-ons and friends, began
to change before their eyes. Over his
soiled and course garments is spread a
strange light steatfbly brigtening into
intenser beauty, till that form glows with
such splendor that it seems to waver to
and fro and dissolve in the sti.l radiance.
The three astonished friends gaze in breath-
less admiration, and turn to that familiar
face. ' But lo! a greater change has passed
over it. The man has put on the God,
and that sad and solemn face that has been
poverty, in the streets of Jerusalem, and
by the weary wayside——aye, betlewed with
the tears of pity, new burns like the sun
in mid day splendor. t‘i.'eekness has giv-
en way to ll;l:.:_iesty—sa(lness to dazzling
a God. The still radiance of Heaven
has poured its brightness over that conse-
crated spot, and on the beams of light
that glitter there, Moses and Elias have
descended, and wrapt in the same shinin
vestmcnts stand beside him. Wonder
follows wonder, for those glittering forms
are talking with each other, and amid the
thrilling accents are heard the wor_rls——-
Mount ‘Olivet,’ ‘Calvary,’ the agony and
the death of the crucifixion. Peter, awe
struck and overc‘om’e, feeling also the
ing with the wild valor of overpo‘w'e’rin.g-*
so often stooping over the couch of the a
dying, and entering the door of the but of]
glory—-the look of pity to the grandeur of

truths never to be forgotten were uttered?
in the ears of the subdued and reverent‘
Hisciples. ‘ ,
Oh, how different is heaven and earth‘!
Can there be, a stranger contrast than the’
Battle and Tr-ansti'g'urati‘on on Mount Ta-'
bor? One shudders to think of Buonaparte‘
and the Son of God on the same’ mountain :
one with his wasting c'a'n'no‘n by‘ his side,
and the other with Moses and Elias just»
from Heaven. It is li~.e seeing the devil
and the angels‘ in the same Eden ga’rde'n.-‘
But no dcsccratin can destroy the first
consecration of Mount Tabor; for-baptiz-j
ed with the glory of Heaven, and honored
with the wondrous scene of the Transfig-
uration, it stands the fifth sacred mountain
on theearth.
THE TONGUE.
There are but ten precepts of the law of
God, says Leighton, and two of them, are
bestowed upon the tongue, one in the first
table, and the other in the se‘-cond—asi'
though it were ready to fly out both against
God and man if not thus bridled; I ,
Pythagoras used to say thgt; a woundi’
from the sword, for the latter,‘ affects only
the body, the former the spiri-t—-the’ soul.‘
It was a remark of Ancharsis, that the’
tongue was at the same time the best part
of man and his worst; that with good Gov’-'
ernment, nonc is more useful,-and without‘
it, none more mischievous.
Booerliave, says Dr. Johnson, was n'eve'r'
soured by calumnyanddetraction; nor even
thougltt it nei:essar'-' to confute them ; “For
tbey are sparks, which if you do not blow
them, will go out t. cmselves.” . _
We cannot, says Cato, control the evil
tongues of others, but a good life enables
us to despise them. - _
Slander, says Lacon, cannot maké'tlié'
subjects of it either better or worse It‘
may represent us in a false light, or place
a likeness of us in a bad one. But we are’
the same. Not so the slanderer, the slain-
der that he utters makes him worse, the
sland-cred never. * _
No one, says Jerome, loves to tell a tale‘
of scandal except to him that loves to hear
it. Learn then to rebuke and check the
detracting tongue, by showing that yod do
,not listen to it with pleaure. “ '

- With cliaractcristic duplicity the Loco-'
foco papers, by publishing detached or-
tions of Mr. Cl-ay’s tariffspeech, (delivered~
in 18-L2,) have labored to make it appear
that he was then in favor of the ad valor-
em principle as applied by McKay’s bill——'

How long the vision lasted we cannot
