The Emperor Nap be would be off
On a summer excursion lo Moscow;
The fields were green ami the sky was blue,
Morbleu, Parblen !
What a pleasant exclusion it is to Moscow.
Four hundred thousand men and more
Mu*t. go witb liim to Moscow ;
There were Marshals by dozens
Aod Dukes hy the score ;
While lbe fields were green, and the sky was blue,
Morbleu! Parbleu!
What a pleasant excursion to Moscow '.
There was Junot and Angereau !
Heigh ho for Moscow !
Dombrowsky and Poniatowsky,
General Rapp and Emperor Nap ;
Nothing would do,
While tho fields were so green, and the sky so blue
Morbleu ! Parbleu !
Rut they must be marching to Moscow !
But the Russians tbey stoutly turned to
Upon the road to Moi-cow.
Nap had to light his way all through "
They could fight, tho' Ihey could not parlezvouz,
But the fields were green, and the sky was blue,
Morbleu! Parbleu!
And so he got to Moscow.
He found the place too dot I'or him,
For tbey set fire to Moscow,
There was Tonnazow aud Jemalow,
And all tho rest that end in ow j
Milracodovitch and Jalodovitcb,
And Kractehowktiteh.
And all the rest that end in titcb ;
SchainsceholY Soueosauoff.
And Schepaluff,
Aod all the rest that end in off.
Wasilichkofi; Kostoiqaloff,
And all the others that end iu olf;
llajensky, Noverelbky,
And Rieffsky,
Aud all the others that end in eflsky ;
Coharoflsky and I ios I off-ky,
And all the others that end iu ofl-ky ;
And Platofl he played ihem olf.
And Shouvalofi hu shoveled them off.
And MarkofT he rnarKcd Ihem olf,
And Krossnoff he crossed them off,
And Tuchkoff he touched tliem off;
And Boroskoff he bored them off,
And Kutonkoff he cut them off,
And ParSDZoff he pared ihem off,
Aud Woronzoff he worried them off,
And Doetoroff he doctored them off,
And Rodionoff lie floffued Ihem oft;
And, last of all, an Admiral came,
A terrible man wilh a ternble name,
A name which you all know by sight very well,
But which no one can speak ai.d uo one can spell :
They stuck close lo Nap with all tlieir mignt,
They were on the left aud on the right,
Behind and before, and by day aad by night,
He would ralher parlez vous than light;
But parlezvous no more would do,
For they remember Moscow.
And then came on (ho frost and snow,
All on the road from Moscow,
.   Tbe fields were so white, and the sky ao blue,
■Sacrebleu! Ventreblcu!
What a terrible journey from Moscow.
The devil takes the hindmost, quoth Nap,
All on the road from Moscow!
For he thought it small delight
To light all day and Ireeze all night,
And so, not knowing what else to do,
When the fields were so white,and the sky so blue,
Marbleu! Parbleu!
He stole away, I tell you true,
All ou the WHy from Moscow.
It wan much loo cold upon fhe road
As it watt too hot in Moscow!
But there is a place winch he must go to.
Where the lire is red and the brimstone blue
Morbleu! Parbleu !
He'll find it hotter than Moscow !

Dickens, tt would seem, at some period in bin
educational training, ascertained that the " 'am

American readers apparently look it for granted
that so great a man ns Dickens could not be wrong
to so simple a mutter, and that therefore Uriah,
and not Dickens was tne ignoramus in (he premises. Willi this impression on their minds, they
quietly made all possible haste onto! Uriahs company, and perhaps took occasion to " lug ia" the

The following beautiful lines are the production
of an American lady, Blanche d'Artois, wbo certainly possesses a very high  degree of geniua :—
Work :
While blight daylight on thy path is beaming.
Work while 'tis day :
Despair not ttiou. although thy task is seeming
To last alway.
Trust! when the dusky shadows o'er thee flying
Obscure the sun.
Though duty's task is ended but by dying,
Let it be done!
Work!
While bright daylight on thy path is beaming,
Though not lor gold—
Fame proves a phantom, and our idle dreaming
Is a tale that's told ;
But cherish ever with a grand emotion,
A zest for strife!
Onr earthly birthright in this wild commotion,
This threefold lift.
tr-ji-h (
While bright daylight on thy path is beaming,
For night palls down.
Work ! while the lustre in the eye ih g'eaming,
To win the crown.
Work with thy hand, and with thy many talents,
Ay. with thy soul;
Thy threefold life weighed in the eternal balance,
Demands the whole.
My little maiden oi four years old
(No myth, but a genuine child is she,
Willi her bronze brown eyes and her curls of gold)
Came, quite in disgust, one day, to me.
Rubbing her shoulder with rosy p:dm—
As the loathsome touch seemed yet to thrill her,
She cried—"Oh, mother, I fouud on my aim
A horrible, crawling caterpillar !"
And with mischievous smile she could scarcely
smother,
Yet a glance in its daring, half awed and shy,
She added—"While they were about it, mother.
I wish they'd just finished the butterfly !"
They were words to the thought of the bou! that
turns
From the coarser form of a partial growth,
Reproncbing the Infinite patience tbat yearns
With an uaknown glory to crown them both.
Ah, look thou largely, with lenient eyes,
Ou what so beside thee may creep and cling,
For the possible beauty that underlies
The passing phase of the meanest thing !
What, if God's great angels, whose waiting love
Beholdeth our pitiful life below,
From the holy height of their heaven above,
Couldn't hear with the worm till the wings should
grow? —Atlantic Monthly.
Sax Pewio, Feb. U, 1860.
Friend II.—Looking over some old documents
the other day, I came across the following rather
t-picy reply of a brother officer, to an official com
tnunieatiou, which is as g-ood as most things we
see in print nowadays. It is at your service.
Your friend, The Major.
We thank our gallant friend, the courteous Major, for his remembrance of ue. and  gladlv s-ivi*
place to the correspondence    It ie new to us, although it may not be so to some of our readers :
Treasurv Department,        )
Second Auditor's Office, July 31, 1846. f
Sir—You are charged on the books of this office
with $1,525, the value of the clothing and lilauk-
ets furnished for the use of your company, and for
which you will be held accountable. In order to
relieve yourself Irom this accountability, you will
enter on your first muster roll ail articles of clothing aud blankets issued tothe men uuder your
command, and request the paymaster to deduct
the several amounts from their first payment.
You are also held responsible for the camp and
garrison equipage received for your company, until turned over to a United States Quartermaster.
J.vo. M. McCalla, Second Auditor.
Capt.G. H.Tobin, Washington Regiment Louisiana
Volunteers.
Treasury Department, )
Second Auditor's Office, Aug 8, 1846. J
Sir: By a decision of the honorable the Secretary
of War, each soldier under your command is entitled to six months' clothing, to tbe amount of $21;
all over that they are to be charged with. There
will be other charges,of which you will be informed by this oflice. You will please consider this
letter your guide, in addition to the one you received from me of the Hist ultimo.
Very respectfully,
Jno, M. McCalla. Second Auditor.
Capt. G. II. Tobiu, Louisiana Volunteers.
New Orleans, Sept. 17. 1846.
Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of two favors from you, oue dated Slst July,
"he other Sth August. I can ouly answer by a
yarn.
A countryman of mine was once indulging in
the very intellectual occupation of sucking raw
eggs and reading a newspaper. By some mischance
he contrived to bolt a live chicken The poor bird
chirruped as it went down his throat, aud he very
politely observed, "Be the powers, my friend, you
spoke too late !''
I can only say. sir, that your lavors have reached me too late. They have been chasing me through
the Mexican post offices ; that is, to express myself
more clearly, when I received them, tbey (the letters) were down in Mexico and I was up here ; aud
when I didn't receive thera, they were uo here and
i was clown tbere.
The fact is, the most of my men have been paid
off, and are scattered to lhe four quarters of the
globe. They were mostly sailors, as I was myself
Fiom them, if there be charges, nothing can be
expected. Tbe camp and garrison equipage has
been turned over to tbe proper officers, with the
exception of sundry axes smashed and placed hars
de combat in chopping down those amiable chup-
peralB on tbe banks of the Rio Grande. I except
also, the camp kettles and pans, many of which
were used up in roastiug, boiling, stewing, and frying our pork and beans, bacou. and fresh beef, not
to speak of the slow venison, which some were ill-
uatured enough to call Mexican beef.
For my own responsibility in tbe matter. I regret
more on Uncle Sam's account than on my own,
that I am not worth a continental damn. I have
been not only paid, but I believe overpaid by about
$40. My conscience compelled me to remonstrate
with the paymasters, but they assured me that they
mule no mistakes : bank tellers sometimes say the
same. I considered their feelings, and indulged
them. However, I made a good use of the money.
I gave it to the a'ck and unpaid soldiers.
Most of the other captains are in the eame fix
with myself (barring the overpay) about responsibility, and refer to my epistle as an answer.
If you have any further communications for me
please direct them to the care of Major Gen. John
L. Lewis, New Orleans. I seldom go to the post
office, because I have nobody to cm-respond with ;
and yet I am not the man who never had father
nor mother, but was "won in a raffle."
Very respectfully,

The aercnaders proceeded to the residence of

They then proceeded, about 1 o'clock, to the residence of Mr. Grow, and called him out of his bed,
wUo made a short speech.
The Hon. William Pennin'oton,—The N. Y.
Tribune sayB : Mr. Pennington was elected to
Congress by the People's party ot New Jersey.—
His antecedents are Whig. He is a warm friend
of protection to American industry, and holds
with tenacity to the old fashioned doctrines of
Jefferson. Marshall, Tompkins, and Webster, upon
the power and duty of Congress to inhibit slavery
in the Territories. Though he has held high public positions, having been Chancellor and Governor of New Jersey for six years, yet, doubtless, he
has had less experience in legislative bodies than
any man ever chosen to the Speaker's chair. Many years ago he was a member, for a single year,
ol the Lower House of the New Jersey Legislature ; and, as Governor, he was ex officio President of tbe Senate. Excepting, of course, Mr.
Muhlenberg, the Speaker of the First Congress,
ud also Mr. Clay, he is the firsfgentleman of the
twenty-six that have occupied the chair, who had
been called to it on his first appearance In that
body. Though Clay was chosen Speaker of the
Xlllh Congress without having previously held a
seat in the House, yet he had often been a member
of the General Assembly of Kentucky, had been
its presiding officer, and had served three sessions
in the Uuited States Senate.
Mr. Pennicgton brings lo the responsible posi-
tua ba .><."• io»«pi...- « pwimmmcnng presence;,
equanimity of temper, a genial spirit, undoubted
integrity, fidelity to friends, liberality to opponents, a clear and spacious mind, aud extensive
legal attainment**.
The Canidates.—During the contest Mr. Pennington wn» exceedingly restless, an;1, remarked
that he would willingly give his whole salary to
have the cup pass from him.
Mr. Sherman, having announced tbe withdrawal
of his name, seemed altogether a changed mac.—
Sis countenance was free from that rigid expression which had characterized it Ior eight long
weeks, and he laughed nnd talked as other men.
He looked as if relieved from some great .md trying responsibility.
Mr. Smith remained remarkably calm and self-
possessed throughout the co:.test, expressing his
surprise at being thus suddenly and unexpectedly
placed in a position 80 embarrassing.— Cor. A".

Wasiuxoton, Feb. I.—A number ot Democrats
who are here from Kansas, have conferred with
the Southern Democrats in Congress, and propose
to advocate the admission of Kunsasinto the Union
with the Wyandotte Constitution, changing the
boundaries so as to include Pike's Peak and a portion of Nebraska, south of the I'lalte river. The
change to be submitted to the vote of the people
of Kansas, and when ratilied, to be admitted as a
State by proclamation of the President.
Hon. Marcus J. Parrolt, Gen. Pomeroy. Judge
Amy and other Republicans are here from Kansas
to insist upon the admission of Kansas under the
Wyandotte Constitution, without any alteration—
that constitution being already ratified by two-
thirds of the citizens ot the Territory. The question of population will not be argued, as Judge
Petit, of Kansas,haa said that he is confident there
are 100,000 inhabitants, wmcli come up fully !o
the requirements of tho English bill.
It is also proposed by the Democratic Senators,
to resist the organization of any new Territories,
They want to attach Dacotah, and the region
round about it to Nebraska, while Utah and the
territories south of Kansas, are to be annexed to
New Mexico aud follow its fortunes. To this il is
objected, that having secured slavery in New Mexico by law, this immense Territory should not be
brought under the Bame enactment, which might
secure it to slavery forever.

Stamped Paper and Envelopes Comhinkd.—Tu is
new patent Is now iu the hands of the Post Office
Department, with a view to examine into iia merits and practicability, It consists of a sheet of
paper ot auy size, the oulsid ■ half sheet being
shaped like the liap of an envelope, and wheu
folded has the appearance ofan ordinary envelope.
The United' States postage stamp is printed on
the right-hand corner. It frequently happens that
iu the hurry of business the moal envelope is tora
off and thrown away, when, if the correspondent
fails to postmark it on the inside, great inconvenience is experienced. This new style is especially
adapted fo the convenience of business men geuer-
ally.

ExHOOTlON.—Friday afternoon, says the Republican, Thomas Crawford and William Orasson suf-
lered the death penalty in tbejail yard ol San Joaquin county, the former I'or the murder of John B.
Lewis, on the 4th oi July. 1859, and Ihe latter Ior
the murder of JohnlV. Ford on the 8th of September, 1859. Lewis was killed near tho Mokclumne
river, and Ford near the San Joaquin, within a
short distance of the City of Stockton.

Imposition by Hackmen.—We hear frequent
complaints of hackmen exacting exhorbilant (area
from newly arrived persona, who are unable to obtain redress, or know not to whom to apply. We
also learn that policemen knowing to this fact
have not interfered, aave where violence is used—
urging as a reason that when a stipulated price is
bargained Ior, the hackiuan cannot be held accountable for overcharge. Now, an ordinance is
certainly in existence relative to thia matter. Tho
rates which hack and coachmen can charge are
precisely fixed by law, and the penalties of an infraction of it are specified. How is it, tben, that
the law is so constantly evaded ? It is simply ridiculous to assert that these men cannot be held
accountable. If there beany way inj which the
law can be dodged (which we doubt) it is incumbent upon lbe Board of Suporviaors to so amend
their order that the guilty party may bfl brought
to justice.— S. F.A/ta.
