IIEAUTIFIK    LEGEND,
N. P. Willis writes from Idlcwild :—""When
Copway, our Ojibbcway friend, was here, a day or
two ago, he told the children an Indian l.gend
of the water-lily, bow it came to earth-—heavenly
ftower that it is. One of our lair neighbors, who
happened to be a listener, thus rendered the beautiful storj in verse."
A star looked down from its glowing throne
In the aztire-vaulled sky,
And said—'' I am weary here nil alone,
Do'iug nought but throb and sigh.
Far down in the vallies of earth I sec
The red men's children at play ;
The innocent sound of their careless glee,
Rises faint ou the air all day.
I will speak to the braves at their council Arc,
And ask them to 1- t me dwell
Where earthly love may warm my heart
With its human, holy spell!'-'
So they told the star she at night might come
When the wood and wigwam were still.
And sit on the mountain aud throw her light
Through the vale and along the hill.
She came all trembling, but when the morn
Woke tlie birds and ihe childien again,
The star sat grieving and all   forlorn,
For she knew Unit her hope was vain.
" _**.ot near enough yet! I can hear and see
Tbe red man's children at play,
But they waste neither wish nor thought on me
From the morn till  the clu.e of day."
Then they bade her alight on the tree top old,
Tliey lulled them asleep with its song;
And she rock'd and wail'd and shtvcr'd with
cold.
Impatient the whole night long.
At length the children awoke once more,
And she heard the pine-tree sigh,
But took no heed of the watching star,
Between them and the sky.
She saw them skimming in a light canoe,
O'er the lorely lake below,
But tae longing that hourly tenderer grew,
How could she make them know.
She pondered another night away,
And at length when the morning broke,
She dropped from her height with fearful plunge
And sank in the silver lake.
The star was shivered ! but every ray
Was caught by a faithful wave!
Each scintillaut beam grew a mow (lower,
Where she thought to fiud a grave I
And when the red maiden in her light canoe,
Seeks lilies for bosom and brow,
The star is content, for she softly says,—
"I have conquered.     I'hcy love me now."

The scene ofthe greatest interest at the Hospice of the St. Bernard—a solemn extraordinaiy interest, indeed—is that of the Morgue, or building whore the dead
bodies of lost travellers aro deposited. There thoy are, some of them
as when the breath of lift- departed
and the death angel, with his instruments of frost and snow, stiffened and embalmed them for ages.
Tlie floor is thick with nameless
skulls and bones, and human dust
heaped in confusion. But around
the walls are groups of poor sufferers in the very poiiiion in which
they were found, as rigid as marble,
and, in this air, by tho preserving-
elements of an eternal frost, almost
as uncrumhling. There is a mother
and her child a most affecting image
of suffering and-love. __e face ofh__t a plot has been discovered,
the little one remains pressed to __-„_£ for its object the placing of
tho mother's bosom, only the back Canada under the banner of the
part of the skull being visible the stars and, stripea, and that a number
"Naw," said she, they aro nut; for,]
sitho, aw've blioylt 'em ahoon an
heawer, un thir no softer yet." Now
he did not care much about this ;
but when he saw her take the child's
nightcap off its head to boil his
dumpling in ono morning, he declared that " he could nt ston it.''
■Sketches on Lancashire Life.
Rogers' Table Talk.
We take the following extracts
from a notice of this entertaining
work:
One of the Duke of Wellington's most perfect coolness on the
most trying occasions, Col. Garwood gave me this instance :—He
was once in great danger of being
drowned at sea. It was bedtime,
when the captain ofthe vessel came
to him and said; 'It will soon be
all over with us.' 'Very well.' answered the duke, ' then I shall not
have to take off my boots.' "
To the recollection of Wellington
let us add one of Nelson. "I have
seen him," said Mr. Rogers,   "spin
teetotum with his one hand a
whole evening, for the amusement
ot some children."
A friend of mine in Portland
Place has a wife who inflicts upoi,
him every season two or thiee immense evening parties. At one ol
those parties he was standing in a
very forlorn condition leaning upon
the chimney piece, when a gentleman, coming up to him, said:—
" Sir, as neither of us is acquainted
with any ofthe people here, I think
no had best go boil e."
We close the miscellany of brief
extracts with some sayings of Sydney Smith, not to bu found recorded, we think, in his memoirs.
" He said that was so fond
of contradiction that he would
throw up the window in the mid
die ol the night, and contradict the
watchman who was calling the
hour.
* When his physician advised
him to take a walk upon an empty
stomach, Smith asked, " Upon
whose ?"
" Lady Cork," said Smith, " was
once so moved by a charity sermon that she begged me to lend
her a guinea for her cents ibution.
I did so. She never repaid me,
and spent it on herself."
Treason in Canada.—A Toronto correspondent of the New York-
Times writes as follows : A porten-
tious story is at the present mo
mint passing from mouth to mouth
and meets with some degree of
credence.    It is confidently stated
body enfolded in her careful arms
affectionate in vain, to shk-ld her
offspring from the elemental wrath
of the tempest.
Tho snow toll fast and thick, and
the hurricane wound them both ap
in one white shroud and buried
them. There is also a tall, strong
man, standing alone, tho face dried
and black, but the white unbroken
teeth firmly set and closed, grinning from the fleshless jaws; it is
a most awful spectacle. The face
seems to look at you, from the recess ofthe sepulchre, as if it would
tell you the story of a death struggle in the storm. There are other
groups more indistinct, but these
two are never to be foi gotten ; and
the whole of these dried and frozen
remnants of humanity are a terrific
demonstration of the tearfulness of
the mountain pass, when the cle
monts let loose in fury, encounter
the unhappy traveller. You look
at all this through tho grated window ; there is light enough to make
it solemnly and distinctly visible,
and to read in it a powerful record
of mental and physical agony and
of maternal love and death. That
little child hiding its face in its
mother's bosom and both frozen to
death!—one can never forget the
group, nor the memento mori, nor
the token of deathless love.—Wanderings of a Pilgrim.
Untaught Wives.—A country
lass, not long married, was told by
her husband to boil him some eggs.
and to " bhoyle 'em soft." He went
out a while, and on his return they
were boiling, but not ready. He
Waited long, and then shouted,
"Are those eggs noan ready yet ?"
of men holding high offices in this
country are implicated in it. It i-
y-aid that when Mr. Seward, sometime ago in the United States Senate, spoke of the probable conduct
of Canada, in the event of a war
with England, he proceeded notoi
a vague estimate on the state ol
public feeling, but on tangible doc:
mnentary evidence in the shape of
letters from influential parties on
this side, then actually in his hands
And it is added that the conspiracy
has been blown upon, and that the
Governor General is now in-possession of the names of eight members of the Canadian Parliament,
and of a number of Canadian Magistrates, who have been engagsd
in treasonable correspondence with
Mr. Seward.
Onf evening, not long since,
Judge Conrad, Mayor of Philadelphia, was waited upon at his residence by two gentlemen, who stated that a carriage was at tlie door,
and asked him if he was ready to
accompany them and " deliver that
lecture." The Judge was surprised, as he had made no arrangement
of the kind; but his visitors showed him a paper in which he was
advertised to deliver a lecture on
" Women's Influence," and stated
that the audience had already assembled. The Judge finally concluded to accompany the committee
who had taken such a liberty with
his name, and although the subject
was one he had never before discussed in public, yet he delivered
a lecture which afforded unmingled
satisfaction to a large audience.
This beats the modern "surprise
parties."
ADVERTISING.
It is difficult to persuade some
men of the value of advertising, although the immense fortunes that
have been made by it in this country and in England, within the last
ten or filteen years, aro evidenced
by the palatial structures which
have been erected hy the shrewd
and fortunate advertisers in Phila-
lelphia, New York, London, and
other cities. It is said that the average weekly receipts of the London
Times, for advertising alone, amount
to $30,000, and they have frequently gone up to $40,000. This shows
ihat a just appreciation of advertising is possessed hy tho Londoners.
The New York Tribune in an arti-
■ le on this subject said, that nowhere is advertising carried on to
so great an extent as in England.
"Professor" Holloway's Pills are
advertised to the amount of $150,-
000 annually; Moses & Son pay
$60,000; $50,000 is also paid by
Rowland for liis Macassar Oil, &c. ;
$50,000 hy Dr. De Jough for liis
1 od Liver Oil; Heal & Sons pay
$30,000 per year for adverti-ing
their bedsteads and bed furniture,
sunt Fben Nicholls, a tailor, advertises to the extent of $20,000.
Large sums are paid in this country, also, for advertising; some houses in New York set aside ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-five thousand dollars annually fr advertis-
ing,and this is continued every yeai
because it pays. We know of instances ot large sums being made
during the past year, within a few
weeks, hy advertising, when without the aid of the press nothing
could have been done. We lay it
down as an axiom, that the money
spent in judicious advertising by a
business man, invariably yields him
four-fold, sooner or later, and in
numerous instances one hundred
or one thousand fold
Some men advertise for a short
time after they commence business,
and think that is sufficient, and
others intermit advertising after
they have established a flourishing
business by its aid. This is a great
mistake. From the moment a house
ceases to advertise, however large
its reputation and standing, it begins to decline. The changes are
so rapid in this country, and the
public mind is so constantly occulted by new applicants for its favors sind its attention, that to be out
of the papers, where every one
seeks for information on every subject, is to be forgotten. The press
is daily more and more becoming
a necessity, and its usefulness as an
advertising medium is const mtly
increasing. No man is wise, or just
to himself, who undertakes to do
business without availing himself of
its advantages.
Tiicse Camels and Dromeda' ies
—The Washington Star ssiys that
the camels and dromedaries purchased and otherwise proem ed by
Major Wayne and Capt. Porter,
under the appropriation made for
the purpose at the iast session ol
Congress, in Asia Minor, (Feb. 11,
1856,) embarked, and tho vessel
ssii'ed with the first fair wind fo
the United St„tes. The number of
animals procured is 33, viz : 9 male
and 15 female camels, 4 male and
5 female dioin-claries
The vessel was expected to arrive at Indianola, Texas, about the
last of April, at which phi.ee they
were to be landed and suffered to
recruit before being employed for
army transportation purposes. Several of the animals are a present
from the Viceroy of Egypt to our
Government.
Louts Napoleon, we are credibly
informed, has a board hill unpaid
to this day in the hands of an ex-
andlord residing in Hoboken, N
J. The story is this :—When " the
nephew of his uncle" was last in
fhis country, he spent several day;
in luxurious living at an inn, then
kept hy one of his own countrymen over there, but the obligations
incurred at tho time have never yet
been discharged, though the Emperor, we are assured, has frequently
had his memory refreshed as to th,
fact. The apartments occupied h\
his defaulting majesty arc still
slown, with the imperial initials
" L. N." hacked out on the panel of
the door by a jack-knive,  that  (it
ay be added) the distinguished
stranger borrowed from a son ofthe
andlord, which he likewise forgot
to return to the owner.—N. Y. Express.

Leap Year.—A correspondent of
the London Dispatch has endeavored to show the connection between
the scarlet and leap year. He says
that by ancient custom, a maiden
wearing a scarlet petticoat, in leap
year, may propose to a bachelor to
marry her; and if he declines to do
so, and she shows him a part of her
red petticoat, he is hound to present
to her a new silk dress to cover it.
and assuage her wounded feelings,
And he avers that un-ier garment:
of this beautiful color have just
been brought into fashion with
view to carrying out the law in the
course ofthe year. Bachelors must
be exceeding cautious, therefore,
:iow tbey give the least encouragement to the "popping the question" by smiles or compliments.

The Ocean of Life.
We aro Toyngers all towards the silent Land,
Pilgrims cro-smif Life's restless mala ;
When first we embark on the mighty deep,
The car catches nought but the ripples soft
si rain.
Some steer on with a .killful hand.
Day after day -ncath a cloudless pky ;
No angry billows ever toss their bark,
But sol., gentle zephyrs around them fly.
Tliey quietly cross the trackless sea,
And drop anchor on reaching eternity.
And others will stem the surging tide,
While the huge wares roar and tempests keen,
In maddened fury around them play,
And they look in vain for a sky serene.
Slowly tliey guide their trembling hark.
As it plunges and strains 'midst the foaming
spray,
And with hands all weary, and hearts all sad,
They heavily pass on thdr weary way,
Till Faith's bright star sheds its brilliant light,
On an anchorage safe, which they crat-p with
delight.

Floating down a silver river,
Fringed with ilowcrs fascinating,
And their rich perfumes exhaling,
Adding fragrance to the music
Of the bird, along the river—
A bright canoe that's freighted
With tho hopes of gladsome readers,
With the praises of the people
As thoy glide along the river,
With the lovely Min-ne-b._-_.a_

The Emperor of the French.
New York, April 4, 185G.
To the Editors ofthe National Intelligencer :
G_N_-_pME8: My attention has been called to
an article in your journal of the 28th ultimo, in
which my name is in'roduced in connection with
the sojourn in this city, in 1S37, of the present
Emperor of the French, and statements and opinions of mine in regard to the character be sustained here placed in antagonism to a prevailing
inuiression on' the Bubjcct. The publicity thus
given to me as a defender of the reputation of
this gentleman at that period must be my apology
for this communication, and fcr the request that,
in justice to the personage most concerned, the
Actional Intelligencer may become the channel
of a brief rehearsal of the opportunities I had of
correct knowledge in the case, and ot the belief,
based upon them, wbich I entertain.
Louis Napoleon, after having been a prisoner of
state for some months ou board of a French man-
of-war, was set at liberty on our shores at Norfolk in the early Spruig of 1837. He came immediately to New "York, as the poiut at which he
could be put most speedily incommunication with
his friends in Europe. Either on tbe day or the
day but one after bis arrival I was led to call npon
him, not as tbe bearer of an illustrious name or
tbe inheritor of an imperial title, but as a stronger and an exile without a personal friend in the
country or a letter of introduction. I was the
more readily induced to this from representations
made to me by a near relative, in whose family be
bad already passed an evening, of the deep interest bis appearance and whole manner had excited
in those who then had met him. The call was
reciprocated witb a promptness and cordiality I
had not anticipated, and in a very brief period led
to aa intercourse which was almost daily for
some two months, and which ended only when we
parted from each other off Sandy Hook, on board
tbe packet which returned him to Europe.
The association was not tbat of liours only, but
of days, and on one occasion at least of days in
succession, and was characterized by a freedom of
conversation on a great variety of topics that
could scarcely fail, under the ingenuousness and
frankness of bis manner, to put me in possession of
his views, principles, aud feelings upon most points
that give insight-to character. I never heard a
sentiment from him and never observed a feeling
that could detract from his honor and purity as a
man or bis dignity as a prince ; on the contrary,
I often had occasion to admire the lofty thoughts
and exalted conceptions which seemed most to occupy his mind.
Hisfavoriic topics when we were alone were bis
uncle, the Emperor, his mother, and others of bis
immediate family, in whom he had been deeply
interested; his own relations to France by birtli
and imperial registry ; tbe inducements which led
to the attempted revolution at Strasburg, the causes of its failure, and his chief support under the
mortification of the result—" the will of God," (to
use his own words,) " through a direct interposition of his Providence f the time had not yet
come.'"
lie seemed ever to feel that his personal destiny
was indissolubly linked with France; or, as his
mother Hortense expressed it in her will, "to
know his position;" and the enthusiasm with
which at times he gave utterance to his aspirations
for the prosperity, the happiness, and the honor of
his country, and to the high purposes which he
designed to accomplish for her as a ruler, amounted in words, voice and manner, to positive eloquence. Had I taken notes of some of these conversations they would be considered now, when
his visions of power and earthly glory are realized, scarcely less epigrammatic and elevated in
thought, or, as related to himself, less prophetic,
than many which have been recorded from the lips
of the exile of St. Helena.
He was winning in the invariableness of his
amiability, often playful in spirits and manner, and
warm in bis affections. He was a most fondly attached son, and seemed to idolize his mother.
When speaking of her the intonations of his voice
and his whole manner were often as gentle and
feminine as those of a woman. It had been his
purpose to spend a year in making the tour of the
United States, that he might hayc abetter know-J
ledge of our institutions and observe for himself
the practical workings of onr political system.
With this expectation, he consulted me and others
as to tbe arrangement ofthe route of travel, so as
to visit the different sections of the Union at the
most desirable seasons. But bis plans were suddenly changed by intelligence of the smhli-n illness of Queen Hortense, or, as then styled the
Duchess ofSt Leu. art her castle in Switzerland
I was dining with him the day the letter convey
ing the information was received, liecognizing
tho writing on the envelope, as it was handed fo
him at table, he hastily broke tbe seal, and had
scarce glanced over half a page before he exclaimed, ■' My mother is ill | I must see ber. Instead
of a tour of the States I shall take the next, packet
for England. I will apply lor passports for the
continent at every embassy in London, and, if
unsuccessful, will make my way to her williiuil
them." This he did, and reached Arenenborg in
time to console by bis presence the dying bourn of
the ex-Queen and to receive in his bosom her last
Bigh.
After such opportunities of knowing much of
the mind and heart and general character of Louis
Napoleon, it was with great surprise that ] for the
first time read, in a distant part ofthe world when
he had become an Emperor, representations in the
public journals of his life in New York (ami in
New Orleans too, though be never was there,)
which would induce a belief tliat he had been when
here little better than a vagabond—low in his associations, intemperate in bis indulgences, and
dissipated in bis habits. Iu both eating and drinking ho was, so far as I observed, abstemious rather
tban sclf-indul_;ent. I repeatedly breakfasted.
dined, and supped in his company, and never
knew bim to partake of any thing stronger in
drink tban the light wines of France aud Germany, and of these in great moderation. I have
been with bim early and late, unexpectedly as
well as by appointment, and never saw reason for
the slightest suspicion of any irregularity in his
habits.
It has been said, notwithstanding, that bis character was so notorious tbat he was not received in
society and made no respectable acquaintances. If
during his brief stay in this city, at a period ofthe
year when general entertainments are net usual,
be was not met in the self-constituted beau-mondc
of tho metropolis, it was from his own choice.
Within the week of his arrival cards and invitations wore left for him at his hotel. As a reason
for declining to aocept tbe last, be bad no wish to
appear in what is called society, but added :
"There are however, individuals resident in
New Yoik whose acquaintance I should be happy
to make. Mr. Washington Irving is one. I have
read bis works, and admire him both as a writer
and a man, and would take great pleasure in meeting him. Chancellor Kent is another. I have
studied his Commentaries, think highly ot them
and regard him as tbe first of your jurists. I
would be happy to kuow bim personally."
He did make tbe acquaintance both of Mr. Irving and the Chancellor, and enjoyed the hospitality of one at Sunnysidc and of the other at bis
residence iu town. He saw some ofthe best French
society in tho city ; and familiar with the historic
names of New York, availed himself of the civilities of such families as tbe Hamiltons, the Clintons,
the Livingstons, aud others of like positions. It
is not true therefore, that ho was not received in
society and had no acquaintances of respectability.
Ho visited in some of our best families in social
position, aud was entertained by some of our most
distinguished citizens.
It is said that he was without means, and lived
on loans which he never repaid. This is simply
absurd.
I am under the impression that his private fortune was then unimpaired, and beyond the reach
of the French Goyernment; but, if this were not
the case, his mother's wealth was ample, and his
drafts upon her for any amount would have been
promptly honored. I doubt uot that funds were
waiting his arrival, or, if not, were really at his
command.
Louis Napoleon may have had some associations in New York of which I was ignorant : and
he, like Dickens and other distinguished foreigners, may have carried his observations, under the
protection ofthe police, to scenes in which I would
not have accompanied htm. If he did I never
heard of it, and bave now no reason to suppose
such was the fact. But that he was an habitue, as
has been publicly reported, of drinking saloons
and oyster cellars, gambling houses and places of
worse repute, I do not believe. I can recall to
my recollection no young man of the world whom
I have ever met who, in what seemed an habitual
elevation of mind and an invaiiable dignity of
bearing, would bave been less at home than he in
such associations.
There was, however, in New York at the same
time, and for about the same period, a Prince
Bonaparte who was, I have reason to think, of a
very different character. His antecedents in Europe had not been favorable, and bis reputation
here had not been good. He, too, was in exile,
hut not for a political offence. He may not have
been received in society and may have had low
associations. I met him, but from thisimprcssion,
formed no acquaintance with him. For the same
reason the intercourse between him and his cousin
was infrequent and formal. All that has been
said of the one may be true of the other ; and, in
search of reminiscences of the sojourn in New
York of Louis Napoleon, on his elevation to a
throne fifteen years afterwards, it is not difficult
to believe that those ignorant of the presence here
of two persons of the same name and same title
may have confounded tbe acts and character of
tho one with the other. This I doubt not is tbe
fact, and that, however general and firmly established the impression to the contrary may he, the
reproach of a disreputable life here does not justly attach itself to him, who ia now confessedly the
most able, the most fortunate, and the most remarkable sovereign in Europe.

Much activity, says tbe N. Y. correspondent of
the S. F. Globe, exists in tbe agricultural branch
of the Patent Office at Washington, under the direction of Mr. J. D. Brown. A number of gentlemen iu various parts of the country are engaged
in making experiments In agricultural chemistry,
and several interesting reports have been reec-iv-
ed. Oae from Dr. Charles T. Jackson, of Boston,
Who bu -analysed the coin cob, acquaints the Bureau that it contains fo:ir and a half parts of nutritive matter, consisting of gum, starch, and dix-
trine. Another report from tho same gentleman,
furnishes the result of chemical researches on the
seed of the cotton plant, made during geological
excursions through the States of North Carolina.
South Carolina, and Georgia. The report says
lhat cotton seed may be profitably employed in tho
production of rich oil ■ and that the woolly fibre
adhering to the hulls may bo used inthe manu-
laciureoij-aper, while the substance ofthe seed
is sitilsilib- fur feeding animals, or may be employed
as au excellent fertilizer. This analysis justifies
tho use ofthe cotton seed as a manure for Indian
corn, which draws so largely on the oil for phosphates. The Bureau bas been distributing tubers
of tbe Chinese yam, which was recently introduced into France Irom the north o( China, and
which bids fair to serve as a substitute for the
potato.
Commkrctat, STATiSTic*t.—Iii  the   remarks   of
Senator James, of Rhode Island, prefatory to the
bill nvoiitly introduced by him in the Senate, wo
find tbe following interesting statistical views :
By tho census of LSilO, it appears that tbe amount
Of Capita] io vested ia the manufacture of cotton,
wool, and iron, only was but a fraction less than
$166,000-000. The raw materials consumed by
Hiise three, cost over $87,000,001. per annum.
Their combined product is estimated at $160,000,-
000. Thus we have nearly $75,000,000 by means
of those three branches alone, added, mostly by
labor, to the wealth cf the country, even though
tho proprietors should gain nothing by tbeir business. Again, these three branches alone employ
nearly two hundred thousand persons. The entire amount of capital employed in all the various
branches is set down at S.ri30.000,000 ; while the
number of persons employed exceeds a million.
The raw materials consumed are estimated at
$530,000,000 per annum, and the value of the
annual product at more than $1,000,000,000. This
exhibit shows an annual absolute creation of
wealth io our country from these sources of moro
thau $150,000,000.
The British German legion, which bas been
