HAPPINESS. Can happiness oh earth be found? Ho ask the iich and gay , They'll tell you sorrow dwells around, Their dark and stormy way, Qo aek the man Whose feeble steps Are tottering ivnd slow; His long deep sigh and furrowed cheek, Bespeaks a heart of wo. Go ask the pxr a nd needy ms n , Who? lock are thinned with care; He'll tell yu life is hut a epan. And he not happy here. Go ask the youth whose dimpled check With rosy health s adorned; Her down cast look at once will speak, - Her path is strewed with thorns Go aek the child of tender years Whose heart ia light and free 'Twill quickly answer though in tears, It cannot fee happy here. So ak the gay and thoughtleet crowd Of vanity and sin; And on their brow will hang a cloud Tkey have no peace within. Hut go and ask ihe Christian, where ' True happiness is found; He'll poirxt you to that heavenly star, Which is with glory crowned. He'll tell you there's his only hope ; Hi trust when life shall end; And there's pure happiness and lore, Can never never end.

From the New York Constellation. FAREWELL. Adieu, dieu, the signal's heard, It sounds far o'er the lee ; The gale is fair, the anchor' weighed Far well, farewell to thee. Farewell, fate well, the barque's unmoor 'd, Aivd proudly ploughs the main; Weep sot, weep not, my only love, We'll meet, we'U tnttt ajain. The land recedes the silver moot Is ri6icgfrom ths sea; The gale propitious wails on us, Acd wafts me far from thee. Still, still my heart ia with thss, love, Then grieve no more for me; For ! am thine, yes only thine, And ever true to thee. While gazing on the orbs of eight, And glittering gems above; Fll think how oft by their pale light We've viewd unchanging love. When tempests howl along the deep, And while from thee I roam; Fll ne'er forget, no, not forget The plersures of sweet home. A TOUCH AT THE TIMES. What,' honor's proud and crusty creed, I't him who 6tands of cash in need, Or him in search of place! Ml'hat'6 independence to a mind To wise eervilitv inclined. And fearless of disgrace! What virtus dwells in mr.pty tame? And what's the value cf a name, To any but a novice, What's reputation, friendship, pride, Compared With fortune's flowing tide Wilh party," power and Uffice. The pliant, patriot, trimming tribe, Who wisely talce the official bribe. To better their condition; Now sweeping for the popular gale, AH former friends and creeds sail. And curpe the opposition. From ths Memoirs cf the Fmpress Life of Josephine. "Affair of the Inferrul Machine. Ve copy the following for the noble exhibition of character which is made in Josephine's letter to thecbiefj of the Folicc. She deserved her exalted station if this were her only claim. The close of the y ear 1800 was racked by cne ot the most attrocious Attempts occurring in history the con. spiracy of the infernal machine. The details of thss execrable affair, so far as concerns our present subject, are Interesting. On the 3d Nivose, year 9 (2lst December, 1S00,) a splendid representation was to he given, by order, at the opera; the First Consul "5'n-! previously announced lhat he y.ild.Ue present with the membersbf tui lamily. This nrohablr yitoil & plot, and certainly aflbfded no

time far Btaiut ifig H. On thfc aay tn j

question Bonaparte dined with Ins wife, Hortensey and uenerats, Kapp, Lauristos, Laftnes, and1 llerthier. About 7 o'clock, the three last named, entered the carriage and drove off with the First Consul. On arriving near the middle of the street St. Nicsis, a narrow lane leading from the Tuileries, the piquet of the escort, which Immediately preceded, found the way blockaded up by acart. Thi? Was drawn aside, and the coachman impatient at the delay, having been ordered to drive fast, pushed forward at tull speed. About two or three -seconds after the consular carriage had passed a violent explosion followed, bv which twenty persons were killed, more than sixty persons wounded, and one or two of the adjacet houses thrown down. Of the sufferers, only a few belonged to the retinue of the First Consul; the others were passengers, but h there been a carriage behind, it must have been blown to atoms. 1 he mer est chance seems to have saved Joseph ine from this horrid fate, for as she was always very punctual, Knowing r pt?.r j husband's impatience of being do'amtd J - i . i icr carriage would in all probability have followed close ia the tear. Gen. Rapp, as we havo seen, remained to accompany the ladies; Madame Bona parte s shawl being presented to her, the General began in a gay mood to remark on the pattern anu color, urg ing another more becoming choice. Josephine, in a similar tone o pleas antry, called the general a very bold man for venturing to criticise her toilet adding, "In return I shall take an opportunity of giving you a lesson how to attack a redoubt: meanwhile, since you insist,' addressing one of her attendants, "bring me the general's favorite," indicating the shawl which Rapp had mentioned. In this way a delay of a few minutes ensued and the carriage, containing Madame Bonaparte, llortense, and Madame Mura!,had just passed from the. square of the Carrcwsal when the explosion took place. The glasses, even at that distance was shattered to pieces. llortense was slightly cut in the face, by a fragment, and Madame Caroline, then near her time of the present Prince Achilles Mural. was seized with so violent a nervous af fection that Ehe could not proceed. Josephine all pale and trembling, arrived at4lhe opera, where her appearance of extreme apprehension contras ted strongly wilh the perfect calmness of the consul. The latter remained, however, but a short time, and on. re turning to the Tuileries, as is. well known, broke out in a violent invect ive against Fouche (or 1ms and the Jacobines for their contrivance of the plot. The minister of Felice maintained that the royalists were the conspirators, an asseition which, un happily lit the honor of that party subsequent events confirmed. The fol lowing Utter, written by Josephine to l ouche, as minister ot police, shows. (hat no sooner had her fears for the safety el those she loved ceased, than pitty for the guilty, and a desiro to sof- j ten the consequences, took poessicni of ihe heart ''Citizen Minister AVhile yet 1 am trembling at the frightful event which has just occurred, i am disquieted and distressed, through fear of t lie punish mcnt necessaiily to be inflicted on the guilty, who belong, it is said, to families wilh whom I once lived in habits of intercourse. I shall be solicited by mothers, sister j:.1 disconsolate wives and my heart vil hc broken through, my inability to obtain ?dl the mercy for which I ould plead. I know that tho chvnency of the first Consul is great, his attachm ent to me extreme; but the cume is too dreadful hat terrible examples should not be necessary. The chief of the government has not been done exposed; and it is that which will render him severe inflexible. I conjure yen therefore, citizen minister, to do all that lies in your power to pi evci t inquiries being pushed too far. Io not detect all those persons who may have been accomplices in these odious transactions. Let not France so long overwhelmed in consternation by public, executions, groan anew beneath such inflictions. It is ever better to endeavor to soothe the public mind, than exasperate men by tresh terrors. In 6hort, when the ringleaders in this abominable attempt shall have been ecred, let severiv give way to pity for inferior agents se duced, as they have been, by, danger ous laiseuooas, or exaggerated opin ion.? When just invented with mip-cme power, tht Frst Consul, a seome to me, ought rather to gin heart tban beexhibited ft ruling daves. Soften by your counsels whatever may be too violent in his junt resentment. Punish alas! that you must certainly tlo but pafUoa still mors.

Having myself narrowly escaped perish ing in me Revolution, yet must resard a Quite natural y inferrence in behalf of those wh can b saved without involving in now

danger the life of my husband, precious to me and to France. On this account, do, I entreat you, raake a wide distinction be-

een the authors ot the crime, and the who through weakness or tear, have consented to tako a part therein. Asa woman, a wife, and a mother, I must feel the heart rendingrs of those that will apply to me. Act, citizen minister, in such a manner, that the number of these may b lessenmed. This wf3I spare me much grief. Never will I turn away from the supplication ofmisfor tune; but, in the present instance, you Can 00 infinitely more than I, and will, n this aocohnt, excuse my importunity. Hely on my gratitude and esteem." o::::::::oFrom the Cincinnati Miror. A SKETCH. A mother was knneeltng in the deep hush of evening, at the couch of two infants, whose rosy arms were twined id mutual embrace A slumber, Soft as the moonlight, thai fell through (he lattice over them like a silver veil, lav on their delicate lids--the toll briglii curb, that clustered on their pillow, were slightly stirred by their geUlcand healthful breathings ar:d that smile, xvbich bs-nmi from the rmre denths of . . - r t:3 fresh glad spirit, yet rested on their red lips. The mother looked upon their exceeding beauty wilh amomen arv pride and then as she continued to raze on the lovely sulberers, her dark eye depended with an intense and unutterable fondness", and a cold shud dering fear came over her, lest those buds cf life, so fair, so glowing, might be touched with sudded decay and gathered back in their brightness to the dust. And 6he lifted her voice in prayer, solemnly, passionately earnest. that the Giver of Life would still spare to her, those blcsoms of loyc, over whom her soul thus yearcd. Ar.d as the low breathed accent rose the still air, a deepened thought came over her and ber spirit went out with her lovod and pure ones into the strage wild paths ot lite; and a strong horror chil led her frame as she beheld mildew and blight settling on the fair and lovely of the earth, and high and rich hearts scatchrd with desolating and guilty passions. -Ar.d the prayer she was ureabnr.g crew yet more fcrvant o ven to agony that He, who was the ountairt of all purity, would preserve these vchom He had ujven hr in their perfect irroccnec, permitting neither name, nor crime, nor ioliv to cat a slain on the brightness with which she had received them inuestcd from His hand as with a mantle. As the prayer died away in the weak ness of the spent spirit, a pale shadowy form stood beside the mlant sleepers "I am Death," said the spectre, "and I come for these thv babes I am com missioned to hear them where the per ils von deprecate unknown; where nei ther stain, nor dust, nor shadow can reach the rejoicing spirit It, is only h k ft . . by yielding them to mo you can prcserv them tor ever from contamination and dcca-.M A wild conflict a etnifj. gle as of the soul parting in strong a onv shook the mother's frame: bu faith and the love which hath a purer I Trent than lint of earthward passion,triumphedand she yielded up to the specfro. hcr babes "Behold!" said Death a he touched ihe fair form, and the beauty of life gave place to a holier and yet deeper loveliness, "behold, the smile of imiocence is now forever sealed, l ncy i m r-s will waken were inerc is neither bligh nor tempest." And the hening Power whom we rail the Spoiler, bore away the now perfected blossoms of immor tahty to the farou sky. J. L. I).

ON THE RAFiDFLlGlrfcoF INSECTS. ' In pasing along the Manchester and Liverpool railway, at a 6peed of abont twenty-four miles an hour, ascertained by n stop watch, I observed one of the smaller bumble-bees, I think the Apis snbintcrntpta. flying for aconsiderable distance and keeping pace with the

train apparently without the slightest ellbrt; in fact, the little traveller was going at a rate more rapid than ours, for its nccompniament was not in a straight line but in lhat well-known zigzag mode of flight observable when thesf insects are hovering from flower to llo:vcr in search of food. Several house, bluebottle, and horse flics were also repeated visitors: our rapid motion seemed to have no manner of cllect upon them.for when it suited their pur pose they darted onwards, for a few lector yards or balanced themselves steadily r.vcr aud given point, though nn instant, whenever either their efforts relaxed, or they thought it expedient to part company, they were far away to our rear. I should observ, moreover, that the wind at the time was blowing obliqdy against us with a current of such strength, that I occasionally had some difficulty in keeping my baton. Under all .circumstances therefore, of the wind's opposition and their irregular motion, 1 considered that the locomotive powers of these insects could not be well less than from, thirty to fovtv miles an hour. Com pared with the beautiful arranged muscular powers of these minute beings in he creation, how insignificant arc those which scincc, with ail its advantages las hitherto been able to accomplish by mechaienl means.
