VEVAY TIMES AND SWITZERLAND COUNTY DEMOCRAT.

The old man.shook his head mournfully.

“I had placed gicat confidence in you,” cold lie, —“your military genius inspired me—you seemed to hate been cut from iho unique—one of Plutarch’s men. With your aid our country might be free—as it is, she must fight her battles without you,—Faoli will not desert her in her hour ol peril.”

It was enough, the artillery men crowded around the fatal spot, and when after three days lighting, the bugle of rest sounded—many an artillcryman had gone up on tho breath of the death-dealing cannon, to the muster of the God of Hatties.

As a means of enabling Ibe public to guard, in! some measure, against losses by depreciated Hank paper, we have made out (ho following table, giving the rates of discount at Cincinnati and Louisville on the notes of the various.banks. It wlll.be corrected weekly, from the papers of those cities:

II.VNK NOTE TABLE.

WISCONSIN.

On the nMil of the eighteenth of December, when all was still but the warring elements of Nature, the whole army attacked Little Gibraltcr. Tho representatives of the people called a council for deliberation. The general and his gallant artilleryman laughed thorn (6 scorn; a scaffold awaited, them in casa of failure—immortality in caeo they succeeded. Onward rushed the columns —Dugommierlcd tho main bbdy. Napoleon headed tho reserve—seeing Dugommior fall back, he sent the gallant Captain'Muiren with a batiallion of light infantry by a private way lo'surpriseibcfort, Jluiron was successful. He fell himself upon a English pike, but Littlo Gibraltar was taken* Toulon immediately surrendered to tho French. The cpwardly representatives of the people now, with swords in their hands, rushed in to eulogise tho; troops. Every thing was : burnt. -Nine French line of battle ships were blazing, at one. moment; and the explosion of two vessels of powder finished a Feu de Joi in honor of the victory. Tim ekilo now became a general. The CorslcUn was a leader in the armies of France. Napoleon reposed upon his laurels in a'garret in Pans.

POETICAL.

“Uhl man,”—said the young officer, fiercely—“I am no traitor to my country, no enthusiast, to build up the theories to he blown away by the first breath of wind. England cannot save Cor* pica,—France shall. Lei the ball of the Revolution, roll on. the time for our little island will soon come—1 must go.lo. Paris—farewell.” “Go, unworthy eon of a suffering counfry,*' answered the stern old man, waving him away* It was now night, deep night, and the .wind wailed sadly amid thc.couvcnt turrets whilo tho deep mouthed thunder echoed along the straits of Ajaccio.

OUR COUNTRY’S FLAG.

Fliko out, fling out our meteor flag— Give forth its stripes and stars; The pennon of a blood-bought land; Tha idol of each free-born band-

ar JJE.*cnY D. HIRST.

Won bravely, may its glories stand, Throughout a thousand wars.

For it—our fathers—fought and died, In freedom’s holy cause; O’er mountain top, and mountain glen; O’er rushing stream, and shaded fen, The symbol of her free-born men, The banner of-our laws.

A I) OPTION. L'llUTtR TWO.

“Land ho!”—sang tho dreamy loolc-oul man from the mast head of a Tuscan Polacrc, as tho coast of franco hove in night. A family of noble exiles stood upon tho quarterdeck. It was the family of Houaparlc—banished from Corsica. They sought refuge in Enure, and now tho harbor of Marseilles ro. ccivcd them. It was a lucky lime—Marseilles was besieged, and the army-of tho -Republic hovered along iu bastions—wide, then, wero tho portals of France (lung to the young Lieutenant ami his relatives.

The breeze shall boar its rustic past; Through whirlwind, and o’er flood: Unstained by storm—upon the blast— Oh! let our meteor flag ho cast, Throughout eternity, to last; Pear to our heart’s best blood.

I pily the unbeliever —one who can gazo upon the grandeur, (he glory, aiid tho beauty of the natural universe, aud behold not the touches of ilia linger, who is over and with, and above all —from my very heart 1 do commiserate bisconditiom The unbeliever, on wlioiao intellect the light of reason never penetrated*—who can gaze upon the sun and moon and stars, and upon the unlading and imperishable sky; spread pul so magnificently above him, and say all this is the work of chance. Tho heart of such a being ia a dull andchcerless void. In him, mind—the Godlike gift of intellect, is debased, destroyed; all is dark—a cheerful chaotic labyrinth—raylees, cheerless, hopeless. No gleam of light from Heaven penetrates tho blackness of. thc-horrible delusion—no voice from tho-Eternal bids the desponding heart rejoice. No fancied tones from the harps of seraphim arouse the dull spirit from Us Icthargyor.allay the consuming fever of tho brain. The wreck of mind isuttorly remediless, reason is prostrate, and passion,, prejudice am) superstition have reared their temple on the ruins of his intellect.. 1 pity tho unbeliever. What to him is tho revelation from on high but a sealed book! Ho sees nothing above, or around, or beneath him that evinces tho axis: teoce of God—and ho denies—yea, while standing on tho foot-stool of Omnipotence, and gazing on the dazzling throne of Jehovah, bo shuts his intellect to the light of reason, and denies' there is a God.— Chalmert,

The Unbeliever.

And he— who would its lustre dim, Be traitor to our sod; His ashes lo the whirlwind given; Himself from home and kindred driven; His soul, unshriven, unfrrgiren; Accursed, by man and Hod,

In one hour after landing, tlio young Napoleon had offered his services to the lender of the French forces, and had been accepted,- lie was now an adopted sun of the Republic. His race was around him. The cannon woko him at morning light, and (ho enemy’s bugles eaoghrci; to sleep at evening, Marseilles having surrendered to (icril Cartaux, the army-moved on-to Toulon. There was a fortress on the mole called Little Gibraltar. The eye of Napoleon, who had now been promoted to commander of artillery, saw tint whoever held (hat fortress would hold Toulon.—He sought the music master. General Cartaux, who after throwing a thousand impediments in his way, was foe) enough to give his opinion® in writing.—Napoleon immdialcly made marginal comments, and sent thciiuging Bulletin oft’ to Paris by a special courier. The consequence was (ho sudden recall of the singer, and the appointment of a doctor of simples to command. IIis name was Doppet, and though ho could let blood from others without fainting, he sounded a retreat the moment astray bullet interfered with the breath pipes of his aide-do-camp —a barber’* boy of no mean pedigree—and left tho field at a time when victory was certain to ensue. Doctor Doppet was now sent back to his pcsilo and morter, and General Dugommier, a vetenn soldier, succeeded to the command of iho army before Toulou, Tho French Directory in its dream of omnipotence and immortality, had ordered that "Toulon should bo taken, and the allied squadrons burnt in three days”—poor tools! well was it for human nature that the God of French reason was not the Jehovah of Eternity. Well was it for the bruto that a week of eleven days was not suffered to become a period of time. Tbo siege of Little Gibraltar now commenced in sober earnest; Dugommier was no doctor of cinipl** .. r—y—, .ftci Ow maunm uf a jack-ass. ilo knew his duty, but he never was tool enough to givo an inferior his reasons in writing. This giving of reasons in black and while is no business for an ignorant man, however brave he may bo. Lord Mansfield onco was wailed upon by an admiral, who bad been made governor of the Leeward or Windward Isles in tho West Indies —and I neither know or caro which—for a code of laws suitable tar the people over which ho was to rule; and & chart for his particular guidance. "You are a good common senso individual, whoso only aim is to do about right," said bis lordship, to the old bruiser.

BANISHMENT. ClIAPTEB ONE.

Evesiso was slowly creeping over the rugged mountain peaks of Corsica, in tho year I71W, as a young man in the uniform drew near to the convent ofKostino.

There was something in the expression of the Btrangerie lace that repulsed all impertinent curiosity, while his form, short and crooked, seemed to. give the'lie to hie martial bearing. He rode a mettled steed, and as ho passed by the cotfagedoor of the rustic beau and hisstrapping lass, the one exclaimed, involuntarily,—“what a bold rider,"—while the ’ other, instinctively shrinking from tho stranger’s approach, quaintly replied; "the form of a do’il, and the look of a God." .

Tbe / poDderoas bell from tho convent tower, was slowly diming to vespers, os the rider reined up bis steed'beneath tho moss-clad walls ol the garden, and entered tho wicket gate. An'aged man, dressed in cassock and cowl, received the visiter in tbs refectory, and after a •canty meal had been offered and refused, hastily led bim to.a little chapel, in a remote part of the building, where penitents of the highest order—"made a clean breast," —as they say at sea, by telling over (heir crimes to an image forgetful, that the true God, is conscious of guilt at . the luimuieeiun; ana mat m: m-*o m.;, ' never can be.

"Aye, aye, your honor,” said the old call in swabs, endavonog to look over a shirt collar os large as the foresail of a clipper. "Well, then,” said Ids lordship, with a smile —"you want no written laws; neither do you want a guide for your judgment; decide all casts by your own ideas of right and wrong, and bo a law unto yourself: but never give a reason—for as sure as you do—the lawyers will pick you all to pieces.” The admiral bowed himself out of the chief Justice’s presence, and went to his station.

Not a law had ho, and during acommand of a dozen years, there was no place in the colonies of Britain so well regulated as tho Islands of the Ocean, that owned tho power of the jolly old admiral* So much for a digression— let us on to the siego of Tnulon. Batteries were raised against the walls and the guns of tho French army were mounted in silence. Napoleon elept in his military cloak beside, his cannon. The foolish Directory finding that their orders were not executed, sent a deputation to the besieging, army. They inspected Napoleon's secret battery, and finding that it had been finished for eight days without having discovered itself by its fire, they ordered tho commandant to open his artillery at once. He was a little way off—ihe cunnonicrs eager to shew their love for tho reptiles in power, obeyed tho ridiculous order and fired away. Napoleon cursed them aloud; but before ho could reach tho spot, the English had sallied out tod spiked the guns, while tho Directory men maJo strait coat tails for Paris, A sharp skirmish now took place, and by a skilful manccuver, the commandant of artillery, at the expense of a bayonet wound in bis thigh, captured tho English commander, General OTiarra, and raised tho old Harry with tho besieged. Had it sot have been forihis,NapoIeon would have been dismissed from the army—as it was, ho received the praises of tho Directory, and the shouts of applause of tbs fish women and butchers of Paris.

BOOT AND SHOE MANUFACTORY,

Long and fiercely did the disguised general watch the countenance of the youthful soldier. Three times be looked as though be would penetrate his very soul, and three times the young man returned his searching gazo with a cold, calculating, grey eye. !‘Li«utenant, I will trust you—Corsica must be free, and you must aid in her liberation.” "Paoli”— said the young man, firmly,—"she shall be free, hut not until the work of destruction in France, has ceased.”

"What mean jfoul” said the old patriot, rising, —"will you not join our expedition!” "Never, until 1 have seen the end of the dream of France. The great drama which you rehearsed in your younger days, in an obscure corner of the world, has now a kingdom for a stage, and nations to behold the swelling act. Old man, let the little island of Corsica rest.in quiet, and come with me to Paris.”
