I say late Napoleon, my boy, because our Napoleon is apt to be behind time. As far back as I can remember, I have been fully aware tbat this movement was about to lake place, but would uot, like too many other correspondents, betray tho confidence reposed in me.— This bosom, my boy, Ibis manly and truthful bosom, is about tbe right shop for confidence. Nor is it like the bosoms of those who canj.ruthfully say that they never give important information lo the enemy, though everybody knows that they sell it. On arriving in Paris, I saw at once that preparations lor outgeneraling lhe deceived Confederacy had already commenced ; ior the dowu-troddeu General of the Mackerel Brigade had assembled the reliable contrabands whom he had used for inme weeks past, aud was taking leave of them in a heartful manner. Mounted on a small keg, Irom the bung-hole of jich came the aroma of pleaaant rye fields, the General softly wiped his lips, and says he : Being members of a race which we regard as a speshees of monkeys, my black children, tho fact that this is a white man's war prevents your taking part in the entirely dilferent race about to come off. Alter the manner of Andrew Jackson at New Orleans, I have called on you to do something for your adopted country ; but as my friend Andrew was particular to make his proclamation read negroes," there can be no parallel between lhe cases further. Therefore, return to your'mastcrs, my children, and tell them that the United States of America war not against them rights ol whicb you are a par.t. Go !

Confederacy, but the illustrious historian is careful not to assert that that circumstance had any effect upon the backward march. : On Monday morn, my boy, while! I was pulling ua a pair of new boots tbat have some music in their soles, ihere arose near my room door a sound as Of one in d're agony, closely followed by a variously modulated moan, as of some deserted woman in distress. Ui.stily discontinuing my toilet, and darting to the threshold, I beheld one of thoso scenes of civil war which impress the sensitive soul wilh horror and meet the just reprobalion of feeling Albion. Kampant between two marrow-bones, my boy, was my frescoed dog, Bologna, eyeing with horrid fury, Sergeant O'Puke's canine friend, known af Jacob Barker, and ever and anon uttering sentences of supernatural wrath. To these the excited Barker responded in a deep bass of great compass his nose curling in uudisguised disdain, and bin oyes assimilating to Lhat insiduous and lieiy i*c[uiiit which betokens inexpressible malignity. * There was something not of earth, my boy, iu the frescoed Bologna's distortion of countenance aB he nt- would make any different; tan over al! nations.

I fouud Captain Villiam Brown expelling two reporters from the lines, lest they should prematurely divulge the movements then going ou to the Confederacy, seated on .n adjacent fence, and says I to him ; " Tell me, my fiery warrior, wherefore is it that the chieftain seeks his solitary tent V Ah 1" says Villiam, reverently, "itis to pray for tbe cause of liberty aud the rights of man, alter tbe manner of George Washington, Mount Vernon Virginia. Come with mc, my cherub," says Villiam, piously, " and you Bhall see martial greatness in a touching aspect.". We went softly to the tent together, my boy, and there beheld the loved General of the Mackerel Brigade, wilh lm face devoutly upturned.

As I gazed upon these two infuriated wonders of natural history, my boy, and recognized the : fact that the existence of two bones of contention prevented an actual battle, because neither combatant was willing to lose sight of either o( them; whilst the presence of but one bone would have simplified the matter, and precipitated a decisive conflict, I could not but think that I saw symbolized before mc the situation of our distracted country. The United States of America, my boy, and the well-known Southern Confederacy, are like two irascible terriers practising defiant strategy between twoJjones, the one being the festive negro question, and the other tbe Union. Now it seemB to mc, my boy—it seems to me, tbat if the gay au- inial with U. S. on his collar would only dispose of tho bone nearest him without further vocalism, there would be a better chance for him to secure the other bone in the combat sure to come. Dogs, my boy, and men, are very much alike in their hostile meetings, neither seeming to know just exactly which is truly their magnum bonum Ascending to the rooi of my architectural steed, Pegasus, on Tuesday, I induced the gothlc anima to adopt £. pace sometimes affected by lbe fleet tortoise, and went dowu to Accomac iu pursuit of knowledge respecting recruiting. Just belore reaching that Arcadian locality, my boy, I met Colonel Wobert Wobinson, ofthe Western Cavalry, who had been down there to induce volunteering and infuse fresh confidence into tho masses. He oflered a bounty of two band red dollars; three dollars to be paid immediately, and lhe rest as soon as the war commences in earnest; and prom ised to each man a horse physically incapacitated Irom running away from anything. ■ We!!, my bold drflgocn," saya I, cordially, uoticing thut Pegaatlfl had already fallen iuto a peaceful doze, " bow gu enlistments?" The Colonel waved away an abstracted crow that was* hovering in deep reverie over my charg er's blow, and said he: "I have enlisted all the people of Accomac.,: 'iI want to know," says I, Bostouiauly. " Ye*-," said he, " I called a meeting and succeeded in enlisting all—their sympathies." As I ga/,ed upon tha equestrian warrior, tny boy, inelhought I saw Hie youngest offspring ofa wink trembling io a corner of hia right cyo, and I felt that ihe world-renowned Snyder was at that me- nearer by looking towards it through a glass ? Here is food for thought, my boy—here is food for thought. And now, Commodore Head having fished his iron-clad fleet from the tempestuous bosom of Duck Lake, and every thing being in readiness, the march of the Mackerel Brigade commenced, with a silence so intense that we could distinctly hear all that anybody said. First came a delegation of political chaps from the Sixth Ward, conversing with each othe: the state of the country, and considering eight hundred and forty excellent plans for saving the Union aud getting up a straight-out ticket. Thou Appeared the well-known promenade band of the Mnckerel Brigade, executiug divers pleasant norceax on his night key bugle, an occasional iturable over a stoue giving tho airs a happy vari ety'of sudden obligati improvements. Noxt appeared the idolized General ofthe Mack, erel Brigade, modestly uprising to receive all the credit of this skillful movement, aud assuring his staffthat he really would not prefer to be President ofthe United States in 1865. Followed by Commodore Head with bis squadron on his shoulders, swearing as usual in his iron plated manner, and vowing to capture Vicksbfrg before he was twenty years older. Then advanced Captain Villiam Brown, Eske- vire, Captain Bob Shorty, and Captain Samyule Sa mith, each iudignautly rejecting the idea that movement was a retreat, and expressing the hope that Wendell Phillips would be immediately hung for it. Then came a train of wagons containing all the provisions that could not be thrown away. Succeeded by the Mackerel Brigade with shovels at a hhouider-arms, and noses suggestive of strawberry patches in the balmy month of June. And was this all the procession? you will ask ■ did nothing come after the Brigade itself? I am not a positive mau, my boy, and care not to assert a thiug unlesg I posisively know it to be truo. It was growing dark when we reached our destination, and I could not seo distinctly toward the rear ; yet I think I did see something coining after the Mackerel Brigade. What was it?

An honest good fellow was he, be sure, And witb beauty uncommonly blest, Ere, From brandy and gin, He began to wax thin, Aud.deeliued like a victim oppressed ; He transgressed Rules of living considered the best, Truly considered the best, Oue morning he wended his wrv to the Inn, To the iHvern went early ono moili, And ihere without blinkiug, Continued hard drinking, The extract of bailey and corn ; " Horn" after " horn ;" 'Till lie looked a poor object forlorn, A poor object forlorn. At length ho fell into a snooze, and slept Far into tiie watches of night, And the reason is plain, Too much juice of the grain Had made him exceedingly '■ tight.'" In ihis plight, lie was sure a deplorable sight, A deplorable sight. He continued his horrible sleep till morn, ?Twaa a, terrible slumber he took, For when he awakes, Ho raves about snakes, And wears a most horrible look, And he shook, As if pierced by the point of a hook, By the point of a hook. The doctor was called to offer relief, To offer relief to the sot; Though apparently dead, He was physicked aod hied, And bolstered np in his cot, Why noi? Though his life wes worth scarce a groat, Was worth scarce a groat. In spite of the doctor—his physic and skill, Thu tippler grew worse—day aud night, Alllieted by tremens, And haunted by demons, The victim of horrible fright ; 'Twas right, A judgment for getting so " tight," For getting so '' tight." He rupidly sunk—he seemingly died, Neither pulse nor breathing in sight ; ln the papers we read, That tlie tippler was dead, That his soul had taken its flight Last night, He sank from effects of his fright, From effects of bis fright. Bnt mercy or physic at length interposed, Tlie tippler awoke from hisyia;, ln spite of the witches, Old Charon and wretches That had ferried him over the "Styx ;" Oh I the tricks That come, of bolting down flips, Of bolting down flips. The tippler now swore he'd never again His silver iu ■' cocktails*1 invest, And lor seven full years, (So the record appear*,) He's been a good temperance guest ; Thus blest, Ho pronounces this practice the best, This practice the best. You've heard of the pnake the travoler found, And warmed into life on his breast, How he stung, in the end, His benevolent friend, And proved an ungenerous guest ; Ab 1 the post Left his friend severely distressed, Severely distressed. Tho tippler, alas! puts the viper inside.' And teeds and nurses him there, Till his snakesbip at length, From his increasing strength, Claims more than & murderer's share.* I declare, Of his snnkeship 'tis well to beware, 'Tis-well to beware. There's several species of vipera, you know, Very few ofa harmless class ; This maxim is clear. The snake most to fear Is the one that lurks in the glass. Alas! 'Tis the snake that coils in the glass. That coils in the glass. And if you are partial to snakes, myfrlend, Thia counsel you'd better abide— Don't put tbem within. And nurse them on gin, But rather locate them outside; Better decide, That communion with snakes be denied, All communion with snakes be denied. •Claims both body and soul. S. B.

Charles Deulin, in the Sprit Public of Pari-, publishes the following intercsiing story concern iug tho Old Guard at Waterloo, drawn out by Vic tor Hugo's account of Cambronne, In lhe teconi part of Les Miserables : Few men had the good fortune of being survivors of the last square of Waterloo, and it has boon doubted whether one remains. I know ono ; his name is An tone Doloan, and he inhabits the village of Vieq. in tho Canton of Comic, in the atron- dissenntnt of Valcncicnnos (Nor), lie is an intolti gent and industrious farmer, who lms been ma-ire of his commune, and is without decoration. Atthe epoch ofthe battlo of Waterloo he was aged from 23 to 24 years, for it must bo remembered that tho Emperor, after his return from the Isle of Elba, had filled up the ranks of lho Old Guard with the soldiers c f .tho Young, so that the grog- nards of 24 years wero to be found turning the bravo men who refused to survive tho last defeat. Antoine Delean counts but few years of service but they have been well failed, and there are few soldiers whoso lot it was to seo so nearly and iu so little time such great things. Ho waa at thirty paces from Poniatowski when that unfortunate Prince disappeared in the Sister, exclaiming, "(JoU confided to mo tho honor ofthe Poles—I will only cive it up to God." Ho was at five paces from Gea, Petit, when Napoleon, on leaving for the Isle ol Elba, made his ailieux to his Guards; finally, he was at ten paces from Cambronne, when he pro r.ounced tho sublime phrase which it is pretended he did not pronounce. Now this is what Antoine Delean has related to mo many limes : "I was in the first rank—an advantage which I owed to my being tall. The Eng lish artillery was thundering upon us, and we replied to each discbarge by a fusillade which was kept up with diminishing volleys. " Betwoen two discharges the English general cried out to us, 'Grenadiers, surrender!" Then Gen. Cambronne replied, and I heard hm_ peifectly well, 'La garde muert et se tend pas? 'Fire,'cried the English geueral. "Wo repaired the square, and we replied with our muskets. 'Grenadiers, surrender ? you shall be treated liko the first soldiers of the world !' the English general began again with a sorrowful voice- 'La garde muert et se rend pas: replied Cambronne; and along tho whole liue tho officers and soldiers repeated, lLa garde muert et se rend pas? I did liko tho rest. " A fresh volley then was poured upon us ; and wo replied as well as we could. 'Surrender, Grenadiers, surrender !' cried tlie mass of English who surrounded us on all sides- Then it was that Cambronne, mad with impatience and anger, let fly the oath you havo heard of. It was the last word that I heard, for I received a shot in my eotback which Stretched me sensoless on a heap of dead bodies." I regret; adds M. Deulin, -'that this recital spoils somewhat the Buperb description ot Victor Hugo; but I have no reason to suspect the good faith of my old friend. He is a brave fellow, who never speaks of hi,s campaigns except when ho is much besought for them, and who puts possible. _________ mself forward as little as tie looked like one forsaken hy God and man. Ho could never forgive himself, for his horrid crime. The visnge of his murdered little John always luuinted bim. It in difficult to determine which was the greater criminal, thepoorpot who bought the rum and made himself drunk with it, nnd while drunk, committed the murder; or the man who found him the rum, with which lo commit the ..ui.dor. They were both responsible for the crime no doubt, bnt which will Inive to bear the greatest share of lho guilt in tho eight of God we canuot say. Tho fqaaeller la certainly highly oensarabje for his conduct, llo is far more dangerous to the community, for while tho drunkard destroys himself and family, lho rumsell l«r destroys man by the wholesale, and yet thero arO those who curse us for our efforts to spupress tho Unlawful traffic. Yea, there aro men in high re- epoubibiiiiy who advise us to let the poor i-umselling outlaw go unrebuked. Wc appeal to the law loving and temperance public, to know whether wo shall bo sustained in lho stand we havai taken against rum and tho violation of tho temperance law. Sutter Ptoaeer testimonial Fund. At a meeting of the Society of California Pioneers, held to celebrate the Twelfth Anniversary of the admission of California into tbe Union— At the conclusion of the address of E. II. Washburn, Esq., Dr. Henry M. Gray remarked that as there was an unusually large number of tho society present, it was a fitting time to consider informally some important suggestions embodiod In the remarks of tho orator of the evening. That portion of ihe address having direct reference to General John A. Sutter, then elicited an interesting discussion.. Mr. Sam, Brannun then gave an account of a recent visit to tha old Pioneer, and others warmly advocated the adoption of immediate measures tor his relief. H. F. Williams offered a series of resolutions to this effect, to which some amendments were proposed. Subsequently the Society appointed Mr. Williams, Dr. Gray, W. B. Farwell aud Rev. Albert Williams, a committee to revise tho same, who reported tho following, which were unanimously adopted : Whbrbas, the Society OfCalifornia Pioneors are desirous of presenting to General John A. Sutter a betantial mark of their gratitude to him for his mauy good aud charitable deeds towards the early settlers of the State, and of the esteem in which ho is held by his fellow citizens at large ; therefore. Resolved, That a committee, consisting of all the Ex-Presidents of our Society, be, and the samo are hereby constituted a committee to take the matter in charge, to appoint sub-committees, and prepare subscription papers, to bo circulated for contributions to a fund to be judiciously invested for the benefit of Gen. John A. Suiter. Resolved, That the President, Secretary, and Treasurer of this Society, aad their successors ia office, be, and the same are hereby, constituted a Board of Trustees, to receive and invest all funds which maybe received iu furtherance of this object. Resolved, That copies of these resolutions bo forwarded to all the newspaper Editors in tha State, with the request that they will publish tho same, and urge upon their readers tho propriety of contributing iu aid of this fund. It is said that printed declarations, with blank forms, are to be used by young ladies "who havo lovers too modest to propose. The ladies themselves fill out the blanks, and, of course, uo sensible man oan refuse signing them. The Arrest of Train,—I underetaod that George Francis Train was rather uncereuouiously prevented from sailing in a late steamer for the United States, and also that he caused a telegram tobe forwarded to the agent of tho associated Press at Liverpool, to the effect that he bad been arrested on the eve of his departure, by order of the British Governmeut, There if, I believe, no doubt that he was thus summarily arrested ; but It is due to the British Government to say it was for oo political offence, and that the place of his present confinement is not one of the State prisons, but oue of those peculiar lodging house in the vicinity of Chancery Lane, made familiar to us by the wri t- iugs of Dickens and similar authors.—Cor. Philadelphia Inquirer. ______ Marriage op Redel Fair Ones.—Miss Margaret Howell, the sistor of Mrs. Jeff. Davis, was married recently to George W. Custis Lee, eldest son of Gen. Leo, and heir to Arlington by the will of his gpaodfalher, Mr. Custis. The marriages of three ladies who were imprisoned in the house of Mrs. Greenhow in Washington last Bummer, are also ro_ ported. Can a man be snid make his blood boil. i a stew when you Who can behold the drunkard's home without sadness. It is a cheerless and comfortless abode ; a wretched hut or miserable hovel. Its very appearance, creates sensations of peculiar sadness in the human heart. That miserable hut is the abode of human beings. Their only home. AU the sweet and endearing associations of th family circle are blighted, by that drunkard husband and father. There is something so appalling >n the thought, that tbis is the home of a man who has plighted his whole vows, to comfort, protect and support the broken hearted wife who here resides. She shares no protection, receives no support, and enjoys no earthly comfort from him now. Her poor starving babes crowd over a few decay- in"-embers, shivering with tbe cold, aud crying fo?the bread, or perhaps are sleeping in their couch ofetraw and rags while the fond mother is toiling hard to Becure the necessaries of life, and keep themselves from nakedness and starvation, dreading the return ofthe husband from his midnight revelry. At length heslaggera home. He raves In mad- :ds,—beats, aud otherwise abuses his wife and babies, and tuniB them out or doors to perish in tbe cold. This is not a vision of romantic fancy, butBober reality, occurring almost every day. nstanoe we are inclined to relate, we have rood authority. There lived in a certain town in New Hampshire, a most abandoned drunkard but his family were oral and worthy of respect. He had a lovely little boy, five years old, whom he loved when sober, as he did his owfl life, aod often boasted of his sprighiliisess aod his manly traits of character. One stormy winter night, this drunkard returned home with a gallon of rum and much intoxicated. Yet his heart was upon his dear little boy. He boasted of his own greatness as drunkards do. and gloried that he had a son juat like himself. To prove it he poured out a tumbler full of rum and commanded his litlle son John to drink it. John refused; his father Bought to compel htm ; the moth- er remonstrated. Enraged at this he dragged her to the door and threw her out into the atorm, and also his infant babe, and fastened the door, were far from neighbours, and did not d tempt to reach them. A cr part of the house, came interfere, saw the inhuman monster pour four tumblers of rum down the throat ol litlle Johu, to pay him for refusing to take the one.—Immediately after this tbe man threw himself down upon his bed and went to sleep. The freezing mother was then let into the house, who made every possible effort to raise the dying lad. but all in vain. Poor little Johu soon died in his mother'B an***** The last we hoard of this man, he wa** living He had reformed from O from Not a Word.—Has the Republican party had fi word to say against Wendell Phillips, who publicly boasted that he has been engaged for nineteen years in the work of destroying the Union.

He waa very successful, and, when scarcely beyond hia majority, became mate ofthe vessel. At Honolulu Forester made the acquaintance of a merchant of Hakoda-ai, and went with him to Japan. Here ho remained two or three years engaged in commercial pursuits. Thence he went to China, where ho was taken into the imperial service, and was finally made second in command to General Ward, in plnoe of Colonel Murgiven, who waa oeverely wounded in some recent engagement. -U one time Forester led a band of two hundred men against the rebels, only nine of them returning, the rest having been all killed.

Nor is it like the bosoms of those who canj.ruthfully say that they never give important information lo the enemy, though everybody knows that they sell it. On arriving in Paris, I saw at once that preparations lor outgeneraling lhe deceived Confederacy had already commenced ; ior the dowu-troddeu General of the Mackerel Brigade had assembled the reliable contrabands whom he had used for inme weeks past, aud was taking leave of them in a heartful manner. Mounted on a small keg, Irom the bung-hole of jich came the aroma of pleaaant rye fields, the General softly wiped his lips, and says he : Being members of a race which we regard as a speshees of monkeys, my black children, tho fact that this is a white man's war prevents your taking part in the entirely dilferent race about to come off.

As I gazed upon these two infuriated wonders of natural history, my boy, and recognized the : fact that the existence of two bones of contention prevented an actual battle, because neither combatant was willing to lose sight of either o( them; whilst the presence of but one bone would have simplified the matter, and precipitated a decisive conflict, I could not but think that I saw symbolized before mc the situation of our distracted country. The United States of America, my boy, and the well-known Southern Confederacy, are like two irascible terriers practising defiant strategy between twoJjones, the one being the festive negro question, and the other tbe Union. Now it seemB to mc, my boy—it seems to me, tbat if the gay au- inial with U. S. on his collar would only dispose of tho bone nearest him without further vocalism, there would be a better chance for him to secure the other bone in the combat sure to come. Dogs, my boy, and men, are very much alike in their hostile meetings, neither seeming to know just exactly which is truly their magnum bonum Ascending to the rooi of my architectural steed, Pegasus, on Tuesday, I induced the gothlc anima to adopt £. pace sometimes affected by lbe fleet tortoise, and went dowu to Accomac iu pursuit of knowledge respecting recruiting. Just belore reaching that Arcadian locality, my boy, I met Colonel Wobert Wobinson, ofthe Western Cavalry, who had been down there to induce volunteering and infuse fresh confidence into tho masses. He oflered a bounty of two band red dollars; three dollars to be paid immediately, and lhe rest as soon as the war commences in earnest; and prom ised to each man a horse physically incapacitated Irom running away from anything. ■ We!!, my bold drflgocn," saya I, cordially, uoticing thut Pegaatlfl had already fallen iuto a peaceful doze, " bow gu enlistments?" The Colonel waved away an abstracted crow that was* hovering in deep reverie over my charg er's blow, and said he: "I have enlisted all the people of Accomac.,: 'iI want to know," says I, Bostouiauly. " Ye*-," said he, " I called a meeting and succeeded in enlisting all—their sympathies." As I ga/,ed upon tha equestrian warrior, tny boy, inelhought I saw Hie youngest offspring ofa wink trembling io a corner of hia right cyo, and I felt that ihe world-renowned Snyder was at that me- nearer by looking towards it through a glass ? Here is food for thought, my boy—here is food for thought. And now, Commodore Head having fished his iron-clad fleet from the tempestuous bosom of Duck Lake, and every thing being in readiness, the march of the Mackerel Brigade commenced, with a silence so intense that we could distinctly hear all that anybody said. First came a delegation of political chaps from the Sixth Ward, conversing with each othe: the state of the country, and considering eight hundred and forty excellent plans for saving the Union aud getting up a straight-out ticket. Thou Appeared the well-known promenade band of the Mnckerel Brigade, executiug divers pleasant norceax on his night key bugle, an occasional iturable over a stoue giving tho airs a happy vari ety'of sudden obligati improvements. Noxt appeared the idolized General ofthe Mack, erel Brigade, modestly uprising to receive all the credit of this skillful movement, aud assuring his staffthat he really would not prefer to be President ofthe United States in 1865. Followed by Commodore Head with bis squadron on his shoulders, swearing as usual in his iron plated manner, and vowing to capture Vicksbfrg before he was twenty years older. Then advanced Captain Villiam Brown, Eske- vire, Captain Bob Shorty, and Captain Samyule Sa mith, each iudignautly rejecting the idea that movement was a retreat, and expressing the hope that Wendell Phillips would be immediately hung for it. Then came a train of wagons containing all the provisions that could not be thrown away. Succeeded by the Mackerel Brigade with shovels at a hhouider-arms, and noses suggestive of strawberry patches in the balmy month of June. And was this all the procession? you will ask ■ did nothing come after the Brigade itself? I am not a positive mau, my boy, and care not to assert a thiug unlesg I posisively know it to be truo. It was growing dark when we reached our destination, and I could not seo distinctly toward the rear ; yet I think I did see something coining after the Mackerel Brigade. What was it?

Come, listen, my neighbor, to me awhile ; l'lease hearken to what I may Bay; Let your sports and your zest Share a moment of rest, As I troll you a Bacchanal lay, And portray How & tippler robbed death of liis prey, Fairly robbed death ot his prey. An honest good fellow was he, be sure, And witb beauty uncommonly blest, Ere, From brandy and gin, He began to wax thin, Aud.deeliued like a victim oppressed ; He transgressed Rules of living considered the best, Truly considered the best, Oue morning he wended his wrv to the Inn, To the iHvern went early ono moili, And ihere without blinkiug, Continued hard drinking, The extract of bailey and corn ; " Horn" after " horn ;" 'Till lie looked a poor object forlorn, A poor object forlorn. At length ho fell into a snooze, and slept Far into tiie watches of night, And the reason is plain, Too much juice of the grain Had made him exceedingly '■ tight.'" In ihis plight, lie was sure a deplorable sight, A deplorable sight. He continued his horrible sleep till morn, ?Twaa a, terrible slumber he took, For when he awakes, Ho raves about snakes, And wears a most horrible look, And he shook, As if pierced by the point of a hook, By the point of a hook. The doctor was called to offer relief, To offer relief to the sot; Though apparently dead, He was physicked aod hied, And bolstered np in his cot, Why noi? Though his life wes worth scarce a groat, Was worth scarce a groat. In spite of the doctor—his physic and skill, Thu tippler grew worse—day aud night, Alllieted by tremens, And haunted by demons, The victim of horrible fright ; 'Twas right, A judgment for getting so " tight," For getting so '' tight." He rupidly sunk—he seemingly died, Neither pulse nor breathing in sight ; ln the papers we read, That tlie tippler was dead, That his soul had taken its flight Last night, He sank from effects of his fright, From effects of bis fright. Bnt mercy or physic at length interposed, Tlie tippler awoke from hisyia;, ln spite of the witches, Old Charon and wretches That had ferried him over the "Styx ;" Oh I the tricks That come, of bolting down flips, Of bolting down flips. The tippler now swore he'd never again His silver iu ■' cocktails*1 invest, And lor seven full years, (So the record appear*,) He's been a good temperance guest ; Thus blest, Ho pronounces this practice the best, This practice the best. You've heard of the pnake the travoler found, And warmed into life on his breast, How he stung, in the end, His benevolent friend, And proved an ungenerous guest ; Ab 1 the post Left his friend severely distressed, Severely distressed. Tho tippler, alas! puts the viper inside.' And teeds and nurses him there, Till his snakesbip at length, From his increasing strength, Claims more than & murderer's share.* I declare, Of his snnkeship 'tis well to beware, 'Tis-well to beware. There's several species of vipera, you know, Very few ofa harmless class ; This maxim is clear. The snake most to fear Is the one that lurks in the glass. Alas! 'Tis the snake that coils in the glass. That coils in the glass. And if you are partial to snakes, myfrlend, Thia counsel you'd better abide— Don't put tbem within. And nurse them on gin, But rather locate them outside; Better decide, That communion with snakes be denied, All communion with snakes be denied. •Claims both body and soul. S. B.

Charles Deulin, in the Sprit Public of Pari-, publishes the following intercsiing story concern iug tho Old Guard at Waterloo, drawn out by Vic tor Hugo's account of Cambronne, In lhe teconi part of Les Miserables : Few men had the good fortune of being survivors of the last square of Waterloo, and it has boon doubted whether one remains. I know ono ; his name is An tone Doloan, and he inhabits the village of Vieq. in tho Canton of Comic, in the atron- dissenntnt of Valcncicnnos (Nor), lie is an intolti gent and industrious farmer, who lms been ma-ire of his commune, and is without decoration. Atthe epoch ofthe battlo of Waterloo he was aged from 23 to 24 years, for it must bo remembered that tho Emperor, after his return from the Isle of Elba, had filled up the ranks of lho Old Guard with the soldiers c f .tho Young, so that the grog- nards of 24 years wero to be found turning the bravo men who refused to survive tho last defeat. Antoine Delean counts but few years of service but they have been well failed, and there are few soldiers whoso lot it was to seo so nearly and iu so little time such great things. Ho waa at thirty paces from Poniatowski when that unfortunate Prince disappeared in the Sister, exclaiming, "(JoU confided to mo tho honor ofthe Poles—I will only cive it up to God." Ho was at five paces from Gea, Petit, when Napoleon, on leaving for the Isle ol Elba, made his ailieux to his Guards; finally, he was at ten paces from Cambronne, when he pro r.ounced tho sublime phrase which it is pretended he did not pronounce. Now this is what Antoine Delean has related to mo many limes : "I was in the first rank—an advantage which I owed to my being tall. The Eng lish artillery was thundering upon us, and we replied to each discbarge by a fusillade which was kept up with diminishing volleys. " Betwoen two discharges the English general cried out to us, 'Grenadiers, surrender!" Then Gen. Cambronne replied, and I heard hm_ peifectly well, 'La garde muert et se tend pas? 'Fire,'cried the English geueral. "Wo repaired the square, and we replied with our muskets. 'Grenadiers, surrender ? you shall be treated liko the first soldiers of the world !' the English general began again with a sorrowful voice- 'La garde muert et se rend pas: replied Cambronne; and along tho whole liue tho officers and soldiers repeated, lLa garde muert et se rend pas? I did liko tho rest. " A fresh volley then was poured upon us ; and wo replied as well as we could. 'Surrender, Grenadiers, surrender !' cried tlie mass of English who surrounded us on all sides- Then it was that Cambronne, mad with impatience and anger, let fly the oath you havo heard of. It was the last word that I heard, for I received a shot in my eotback which Stretched me sensoless on a heap of dead bodies." I regret; adds M. Deulin, -'that this recital spoils somewhat the Buperb description ot Victor Hugo; but I have no reason to suspect the good faith of my old friend. He is a brave fellow, who never speaks of hi,s campaigns except when ho is much besought for them, and who puts possible. _________ mself forward as little as tie looked like one forsaken hy God and man. Ho could never forgive himself, for his horrid crime. The visnge of his murdered little John always luuinted bim. It in difficult to determine which was the greater criminal, thepoorpot who bought the rum and made himself drunk with it, nnd while drunk, committed the murder; or the man who found him the rum, with which lo commit the ..ui.dor. They were both responsible for the crime no doubt, bnt which will Inive to bear the greatest share of lho guilt in tho eight of God we canuot say. Tho fqaaeller la certainly highly oensarabje for his conduct, llo is far more dangerous to the community, for while tho drunkard destroys himself and family, lho rumsell l«r destroys man by the wholesale, and yet thero arO those who curse us for our efforts to spupress tho Unlawful traffic. Yea, there aro men in high re- epoubibiiiiy who advise us to let the poor i-umselling outlaw go unrebuked. Wc appeal to the law loving and temperance public, to know whether wo shall bo sustained in lho stand we havai taken against rum and tho violation of tho temperance law. Sutter Ptoaeer testimonial Fund. At a meeting of the Society of California Pioneers, held to celebrate the Twelfth Anniversary of the admission of California into tbe Union— At the conclusion of the address of E. II. Washburn, Esq., Dr. Henry M. Gray remarked that as there was an unusually large number of tho society present, it was a fitting time to consider informally some important suggestions embodiod In the remarks of tho orator of the evening. That portion of ihe address having direct reference to General John A. Sutter, then elicited an interesting discussion.. Mr. Sam, Brannun then gave an account of a recent visit to tha old Pioneer, and others warmly advocated the adoption of immediate measures tor his relief. H. F. Williams offered a series of resolutions to this effect, to which some amendments were proposed. Subsequently the Society appointed Mr. Williams, Dr. Gray, W. B. Farwell aud Rev. Albert Williams, a committee to revise tho same, who reported tho following, which were unanimously adopted : Whbrbas, the Society OfCalifornia Pioneors are desirous of presenting to General John A. Sutter a betantial mark of their gratitude to him for his mauy good aud charitable deeds towards the early settlers of the State, and of the esteem in which ho is held by his fellow citizens at large ; therefore. Resolved, That a committee, consisting of all the Ex-Presidents of our Society, be, and the samo are hereby constituted a committee to take the matter in charge, to appoint sub-committees, and prepare subscription papers, to bo circulated for contributions to a fund to be judiciously invested for the benefit of Gen. John A. Suiter. Resolved, That the President, Secretary, and Treasurer of this Society, aad their successors ia office, be, and the same are hereby, constituted a Board of Trustees, to receive and invest all funds which maybe received iu furtherance of this object. Resolved, That copies of these resolutions bo forwarded to all the newspaper Editors in tha State, with the request that they will publish tho same, and urge upon their readers tho propriety of contributing iu aid of this fund. It is said that printed declarations, with blank forms, are to be used by young ladies "who havo lovers too modest to propose. The ladies themselves fill out the blanks, and, of course, uo sensible man oan refuse signing them. The Arrest of Train,—I underetaod that George Francis Train was rather uncereuouiously prevented from sailing in a late steamer for the United States, and also that he caused a telegram tobe forwarded to the agent of tho associated Press at Liverpool, to the effect that he bad been arrested on the eve of his departure, by order of the British Governmeut, There if, I believe, no doubt that he was thus summarily arrested ; but It is due to the British Government to say it was for oo political offence, and that the place of his present confinement is not one of the State prisons, but oue of those peculiar lodging house in the vicinity of Chancery Lane, made familiar to us by the wri t- iugs of Dickens and similar authors.—Cor. Philadelphia Inquirer. ______ Marriage op Redel Fair Ones.—Miss Margaret Howell, the sistor of Mrs. Jeff. Davis, was married recently to George W. Custis Lee, eldest son of Gen.

Its very appearance, creates sensations of peculiar sadness in the human heart. That miserable hut is the abode of human beings. Their only home. AU the sweet and endearing associations of th family circle are blighted, by that drunkard husband and father. There is something so appalling >n the thought, that tbis is the home of a man who has plighted his whole vows, to comfort, protect and support the broken hearted wife who here resides. She shares no protection, receives no support, and enjoys no earthly comfort from him now. Her poor starving babes crowd over a few decay- in"-embers, shivering with tbe cold, aud crying fo?the bread, or perhaps are sleeping in their couch ofetraw and rags while the fond mother is toiling hard to Becure the necessaries of life, and keep themselves from nakedness and starvation, dreading the return ofthe husband from his midnight revelry.

He had a lovely little boy, five years old, whom he loved when sober, as he did his owfl life, aod often boasted of his sprighiliisess aod his manly traits of character. One stormy winter night, this drunkard returned home with a gallon of rum and much intoxicated. Yet his heart was upon his dear little boy. He boasted of his own greatness as drunkards do. and gloried that he had a son juat like himself. To prove it he poured out a tumbler full of rum and commanded his litlle son John to drink it. John refused; his father Bought to compel htm ; the moth- er remonstrated. Enraged at this he dragged her to the door and threw her out into the atorm, and also his infant babe, and fastened the door, were far from neighbours, and did not d tempt to reach them. A cr part of the house, came interfere, saw the inhuman monster pour four tumblers of rum down the throat ol litlle Johu, to pay him for refusing to take the one.—Immediately after this tbe man threw himself down upon his bed and went to sleep.
