This evening, before the battle of Ulm, when Napoleon the First in company with Marshal Beniner, was walking incomitio through the camp, and listening to the talk of his soldiers, he saw in a group not far off a grenadier of the Guard, who was roasting some potatoes in the ashes. 'I should like a roast potatoe, above all thing said the Emperor to the Marshal. Ask the owner of them if ho will sell one' In obedience to the order, Jlertliicr ad-! va:iced t the group, and asked to whom : the potatoe- bck'nged.

The wife, fahc who busied herelf so unwoariedly for the precious ones around her, bitter the tears that fall upon her cold clay! Vou stand beside her coffin and think of the past. It seems an amber-colored pathway, heiv the sun hhone on beautiful flowers, or the stars glittered overhead. Fain would the soul linger there. No thorns aro remembered Rive perhaps thoe your own hands have planted. Her noble, tender heart is open to your utmost sight. You think of her vow as all gentleness, all beauty, all puritv and truth. But hh U dead! The dear head that has so oben lam upon your bosom, rests in the still darkness, upon a pillow of clay. The hands that have ministered so until -inglv, are folded white and cold beneath the gloomy portal. The breast whose every beat measured an eternity of affection, lies under your feet. The flowers she bent over with smiles, bend down above her in tears, shaking the dew from their jH)tals, that the verdure around her may be kept, green and beautiful. There is a strange hush, a 'breathing siWiee in every room: no light footstep is moving around. No smile greets the poor mourner at nightfall. The old clock ticks, strikes and ticks: it was mu.ic when could hear it; but now it seems the knell of the hours through which you watched the shadows of death gather upon her sweet f:ice. And every day that old clock repeats the story. Many another tale it telleth, too, X beautiful words and deeds that aro registered above. You feel, ah! how often, thxt the grave cannot keep her! Ax Eii rut ix a Phial. to accom plish this seeming incredible act, it requires the following preparation; Take an egg and soak it in strong vinegar; and in process of time its shell will become quite boft, so that it may be extended lengthways without breaking, then insert it into the neck of a small bottle, and by pouring cold crater upon it, it will resume its former figure and hardness. This is really .1 complete curiocity, and baffles those who are not in tho secret to find out how it is accompli ihed.

. , A Fusionest Silenced. We heard a "good one," a fcw days since, in the way of a talk between an ironsided Democratic fanner, and one of the sputtering Fusionists of the day, whoso brains Were so hot that his good sense, if he ever had any, had gone away off somewhere into the Etheriel regions of nisTer-

"And on he trudged, not knowing what he sought, But whistled as he went, for want of thought.'' A whistler is - a nuisance; we have one nearby, whom we advise to "save his breath to cool his porridge." Hail Columbia is his favorite tune, and he does not even break the monotony by whistling the variations. A happy man never whistles; a bu3y man never whistles; a thoughtful

Iman never whistles; a musical man never whistles, lie sings. Hut lind a lazy, indolent, empty-headed fellow, whose sole employment is doing nothing, and you will find a whistler; in him what should be substance is wind, and a constant stream issues from his mouth. A man whistles when ho is mad; when he has the horrors; when ho is drunk; when he is out of money; out of friends; out the elbows; out of patience; out of work, and out of courage. Whistling is a narrow, contracted, puckering business; you whistle out bad feelings, but sing out good ones; therefore, never whistle, always sing. Cleveland Hcrcdd. i m "Small Potatoes." A correspondent of the Marysvillo Herald, furnishes the following definition of the universal term, "small potatoes." We give them so that our readers may know them if they see them: It is small potatoes for young men to talk about young ladies in barrooms and promiscuous assemblages. It is small potatoes to envy your neihj bor because lives in a finer house than you. Ws ' when ro toomC!tJlo take one yourself. It is small potatoes for a rich merchant to higgle about advertising. It is small potatoes for a rieh lawyer to beat down a washerwoman in her regular charges. It is small potatoes for men to stand on (he corners of the street and discuss the size and shape of the ladies' ankles as they wade through the mud. It is small potatoes to assign fourteen lovers to one lady, in the course of a furtI lli'rlit In the days of our boyhood, the then National Republican, afterwards the Whig party, claimed that thov were the true dis ciples of Jefferson, and that the Democratic ... r - 4 . We now see the same men who abused Gen. Jackson violently, and opposed every measure of his administration claiming to be the true followers and disciples of Jackson, genuine Democrats, and insisting upon it that the present Democratic party is the bogus party. If we live, ten years hence we expect to find the same wide mouthed men who are now so abusive of Pierce's administration, and the principles of the Nebraska bill, contending that they were the true supporters of the'Democratic doctrines of this day. The party opposed to the Democratic, under every name it has assumed, has been following the wake of the Democratic parly, about ten years in its rear.

The present time is particularly auspicious for the commencement of subscriptions. A session of congress which promises to be one ofthe most important as well as one of the most stormy that has ever assembled, is now convened at Washington, and ita action and debates will be looked for w ith the most intense interest. Purins the ' oniin year, also, the people of Indiana w ill be called upon to vote for a President and to electa State ticket, Legislature and Congressmen. The canvass promises to he an exciting one, and the result one ofthe highest importance to the StAte and Nation. In this canvass the SENTINEL will as heretofore, he found battling manfully and with nil the power it can command, in the raiiks ofthe National Di mocracv. In addition to iiolitic, the SENTINEL will conlain the latest news, foreign and domestic, by telegraph, express and mails up to the hour of going to press. Especial attention w ill be paid to the local news of our own State a fact which f-hould commend it to every citizen of Indiana. The latest reports, of our own and foreign markets w ill also be given. The new proprietors ofthe SENTINEL are not entirely unknown to the Democracy of Indiana one of them bavin? been formerly connected with the SENTINEL, ami the other having for ccier.il years occupied a prominent position before the people ofthe State. The paper has never had that pupjiort from the Democrats of Indiana which it should have had to render it as ctlicient for the party as it w as intended that it should lie. And all w e now ask of them in to give it a trial prove itand aid us to make such a battle as shall tell ujon the Fusion, Know-Nothing, Ulack Republican forces. We respectfully ask our Democracy friends, and especially Democratic jostmasters, throughout the State, to aid us in increasing the subscriptions of the SENTINEL, and thereby extending its usefulness.
