That of the fair German princess was gentle, mild and pensive as (he poetio dreams of her native land. She had lailen from the sieps of an ancient throne ; he had mounted upon his by the force of arms, and by trampling hereditary right under foot. Her early prejudices and education had taught tier to consider Napoleon oh the scourge of God, the Attila of modern kingdoms, the oppressor of Germany, the murderer of princes, the ravager of nations", the incendiary of capital* ; in a word, the enemy against whom her prayers had been raised to heaven from her cradle in the palace of her ancestors. She regarded herself as the hostage conceded through fear to the conqueror, after the ungrateful and tolerated repudiation of a wife who had been the vejy instrument of his fortunes. She fell that she had been sold, not given. She looked upon herself as the cruel ransom of her father and her country. She had resigned to her fate as an immolation. The splendor of an imperial throne were to her as the flowers decking a victim for the sacrifice. Cist alone, and without a friend into n court composed of parvenu soldiers, revolutionary courtiers, and bantering women, whose names, manners and language were unknown to her, bet youth was consumed in silent eteqnette. Even her husband's first addresses were not calculated to inspire confidence. There was something disrespectful and violent in his affection ; he wounded even when he sought to please. His very love was rough and imperious : terror interposed between him the heart ol his young wile, even the birth of an ardently loved sod could not unite such opposite natures. Marie Louise felt that to Napoleon she was only a medium of posterity—not a wife and mother, but merely the root of a hereditary dynasty. This master of the world could not boasl even the inherent virtues of love —faith and constancy to the one woman; his attachments were transient and numer ous. Fie respected not the jealousies natural to the bosom of a wile ; and '.hough he did not openly proclaim his amours like Louis XIV, neither did he possess that monarch's courtesy and refinement. The most noted beauties of his own and foreign courts were not to him objects of passionate love, but of iriesistable transient desire; thus even mingling his contempt with his love. Napoleon with his long and frequent absences ; his severe and minute ordt.-ts so strictly observed by a household of spies instead of frieuds, chosen to control lather than to execute the will of the Empres.*—his pettisliness of temper on his Ircquent abrupt returns—morose and mel. aneholv after experiencing reverses (her only recreation being ostentatious, tiresome und frivolous ceremonies)—nothing of such a life, of such a character, of such a man, was calculated to inspire Maiio Louise with love. Her heart and her imagination expatriated in France, and remained be. vond the Rhine. The splendors of the Empire might have consoled another—but Marie LouUe was better formed for the tender attachment of private life, und ihe simple plcn'uresot a German home.—Lamarline's Rrstnrnltnn. A Publio Meeting of National Interest. might becomc such by calling at the offioe of the Secretary, Dr. YVm. H. Freeman.— A collection was then ,taken up in aid ol the enterprise, thanks returned to the officers of the meeting, arDd ihen the incidents of this vary interesting evening at Sonsom street Hall wero'brought to a close by the retiring of the audience. Marie Louise was little known to the Parisians, and but little beloved in France. Borne away from Vienna as a trophy o' viotory conquered more than courted, succeeding in the hero's couch, the still living Empress Josephine whose Creole graces, apparent goodness, and light hearted disposition, made her, even with these very defects, more popular with so light and superficial a people ; u stranger in the midst of Franc?, speaking its language with timidity, studying its manners with embarrassment. Marie Louise lived in seclusion, like a captive amidst the official circles with which the emperor surrounded her. That court of beautiful women newly tilled, anxious to repress every attraction except that of their own rank and high favor, allowed nothing to be known of the new Empress, cxcept the simplicity and the awkwardness natural to one who was almost a child, and which was calculatcd to render her unpopular in her own court.—Tliut court was the haughty slanderer of the young empress. Marie Louise took refuge in couit ceremony—in solitude and in silence against the malevolence that acted as a spy on her every word and action. Intimidated by the fame, by the impetuous tenderness of the ravisher, whom she dared not contemplate as a hus. band, it is unknown whether her timidity permitted her tolovo him with unrestrained affection. Napoleon loved her with feel ings nf superiority and pride. She was the blazon of his affiliation w'th great dynasties ; she was the mother of his son, and the establishment of his ambition. Hut though he exalted no favorites, less from virtue than constitutional disdain, he was known to havo had passing predilections for some of the beautiful women by whom he was surrounded. Jealously, therefore, though she darn not accuse her rivals, might have chilled Ihe heart ot M Brie Louise. From the PKila. North American, 'Oct. 25. Last evening a meeting took plaoe at Sansom sfrHall, worthy of attention throughout ilio nation. It was callcd by the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association, in aid o( their great enterprise, the purchase of the home of Washington, in order to preserve it as a Mecca for the friends of lilierty throughout the world. The platform was festooned with national flig9 and adorned wiih artificial groves, among which fresh flowers were seen blooming. On one side of the platform tho French national standard was inter, twined with the flag of the United States, in compliment to the French residents of Now York, who have labored zealously to aid the Mount Vernon Association in the purchase of the home of him who was the bosom friend of Lafayette.

B li YANT HOUSE, Great Bend, Pa. ADDISON 13 R Y A N T, Pito prietor September 1st, 1851.—ly. On taking the chair, Mr. Montgomery stated the object of the meeting, and alluded to the thrilling associations that attended this noble enterprise. Fie spoke of the universality of the fame of Washington, and mentioned that he had found even among the peasantry of the old world, a knowledge of Washington and a love for his character that had surprised him. lie spoke at length, and with much eloquenoe, appealing to all those who possessed the true American feeling, to sustain this movement and secure the home and burial piece of Washington from desecration. Mr. Montgomery was frequently iterrupted by applause, and his remarks were very felicitously adapted to the occasion. Upon taking his seat, the Hon. Jos. R. Chandler was introduced to the audience. Mr. Chandler spoke at great length and with rare eloquence. He said the object of the enterprise was to prevent Mount Vernon from falling into the hands of spec ulators, of which at present there were well grounded fears. But Barnum had not yet succeeded in obtaining the home and resting place of Washington for a model farm—an onion patch, a menagerie or a baby show, and he thoucht the efforts of the ladies were destined to prevent that consummation. Mount Vernon was wanted not for the purpose of building a monument, but because it is every inoh of it, a monument. There are the fiolds that were cultivated under the eye of Washington— there is the garden he tended—there is still shown the bed in which he died—and there rest the remains—all that could be mortal of the illustrious patriot ond his noble wif\ Mount Vernon is the country's great inheritance. We want it not merely to perpctunte a nntne, but to keep it as a place where we may renew our principle of patriot i«m, our love for the land for which Washington struggled with unexampled glorj. Washington needs no monument to perpetuate his fame—that monument is found deeply based in the hearts of the people. But ft is said there is nr» use in thi«i movement. Why not convert the soil to the purpose of utilitv 1 Why divert the brnad acres from yiolding the production of the soil 1 The man who would use that argument would seleot the smallest plot of ground for his mother's gravn, and instead of planting roaes on the mound, would harrow it for potatoes. (Applause.) Again it was asked why should ladies meddle in this movement T Why should they leave their nurseries and the cares of home to engaee in such a public enterprise would answer that, as the men had decide ed that this purchase ought to be made/ and the women had resolved that It should be made, the propriety of the act was settled by the dictum of the sterner sex.— It may fail. In his opinion, the movement would hot fail. A French critio had once decided that a young and ambitious author had failed in writing a certain book. But he qualified his assertion by saying that the young man might consider it an honor to fail in such an attempt. So, he would say that even if this movement tailed, the grandeur of the'aim would forever glorify the efforts of the efforts of the ladies engaged in the work. Ila knew something of the influenoc of the women at Washington, and he was satisfied thay could accomplish a great deal more at the national capital than most people suppose. We could not think too much of Mount Vernon. Who knows bul that its sacred precincts, so filled with the associations of patriotic glory, will not yet become a common ground for the meeting of those who have been divided by local and sectional feeling ? He then eloquently alluded to the peculiar reason for this movement re.; ceiving a cordial eupport in Philadelphia, in the revolutionary eyents that had here occurred, nod concluded his truly admirable address with an earnest appeal for united action, until the grand end was attained.Mv second love now whispered me That I was wondmtie fair ; Thai Cupid wanton'd in my eyes, And revelled in my hair; Fm straight we vowed our little hearts Should own no other guest, And then—why, th.-n, f had na doubt That eecond love wns best.

These were the last words of Thomas I'atne ; the man who had in his heart dethroned Omnipotent, and set up nn idol, Human Ileason, in His stead ; tho man who, through life, had feifintid for his Idlow travelers to eternity the sympathy he did not (eel, that he might eMrap thein in the snares of infidelity, and work their final ruin ; that he might appear with a retinue but second in importance to his Satanic mastep'fi at the gates of woe. Why «lid he call upon "the crucified," in that last dread struggle of mortality with death ? he who had been to God and man a liar; he who had existed as a stray atom, repulsed from its native planet ; as a drop cast olf from the ocean, r.ever to be gathered ; riding and whirling upon the winds, and asking in vain for fellowship with each passing storm, as a sad alterna live to loneliness. Acknowledging no fu. tore, wretched in the present, unsatisfied with the past ; his ambition hot as a lava tide consuming his very heart strings ; he broke the hearts of all that loved him, and died with fcurce n friend. Why did he call on "Jesus." O, limvg Thomas Painy f who lift your foreheads proudly before men and utter what you know to be a lie—"No cunning logician forgft his own craftiness, when the damps of death lay heavy on his brow, and oalled upon that Name in earnest which he Itnd blasphemed before.

W ET H Kit BY, TEACHER OF VOCAL 8 INSTRUMENTAL Whore do men usnally'discnver the women who afterwards become their wives, is a question we have frequently heard discusscd, and the custom tins invariably become of value to young Indy readers.— Charily has much to do in the affair; but then there are important governing cir. cumstances. It is certain that few men moke a selection from ball rooms or any other place of public gaiety ; and nearly as few ore influenced by what may be called showing off in the streets, or by any allurements of dress. Our conviotlon is, that ninety, nine hundreths of all the finery with which women decorate or load their persons, go for nothing as far as husband catching is concerned. Where, and how then, do men find their wives f In the quiol homes of their parents or guardians — at the fireside, where the domestic graces and feelings are alone demonstrated. These are the charms which surely attraot the high ns well as the humble.— Against these, all the finery qnd airs in the world sink into insignificance. We shall illustrato this by an anecdote, nil ho' not new, it will not be the worse for being again told. "In the year 17T3. Peter Bur. roll. Esq., of Beokenham, in Kent, whose health was rapidly declining, was advised by his phvsicions to go to Spa for the recovery of hi* heal'h. Mis daughters feared that those who had onlv motives entirely mercenary would not pay him the attention which he might expect from those who, from duty and affection united, would feel the greatest pleasure in ministering to his ease and comfort. They proved that it was not a spirit of dU«ffp»'t;0n gayety that led ihem to Spa, for they were not to V" seen in cny {D• thfe g#y and fashionable circles—they were never to be been out of their father's company, and never stirred from home, except to attend him either to take air or drink'the waters—in a word, thev lived a most recluse life In the midst of a town then the resort of the mast illustrious and fashionable personages ot Europe. This exemplary attention to their father procured these three amiable sisters the admiration of all the English at Spa, and was the cause of their elevation to that rank In life to which their merits gave jlhem so just a title.

PITTSTON, PA. Office with James Helm, Esq., in Upper PitUton W YO M IN a HO USE' Scranton, Pa. J. R. LYNCH 8 Co., The moment she returned to her private aparments, or to the solitude of her gardens, she again beeame essentially Germnn. She cultivated the arts of poetry, painting and music. In these accomplishments education had rendered her perfect, as if to console her when far from her native land, for the absence and the sorrows to wjiiub she would ono day bo exposed. In these acquirements she excelled; bnj they were confined *.o herself alone. She read and repealed from memory the poetry of l(«r native bards. By nature she was simple but pleasing, and absorbed within herself; exiernally silent but full of inter, nal feelings ; formed her domestic love in an obscure destiny ; but, dazzled on a throne she felt herself exposed to the gaze of the world ai the conquest of pride, not the love of a hero. She could dissemble nothing,, either during her grandeur or after the reverses of her lord ; and this was her crime. The theatrical world, into which she had been thrown looked for the picture of conjugal passion in a captive of victory. She was loo unsophisticated to affect love, when she only felt obedience, timidity and resignation. Nature will pity, though history may accuse her. This is a true portraiture of Marie Louise. I wrote it presence ten years afterwards. She had develci?.f^ -Jtrhd, .':;r;ng her liberty and her widowhood, all the bidden traces of her youth.— They wished her to play a part—the ac tress was wanting, but the woman remained. History should award her—w hat the partial verdiut of Napoleon's courtier has refused—pity, tenderness and graae. She has been oondemned for not having been the theatrical heroine of affection she never felt. Overlooking the feelings of a woman, her accusers forgot jhat the heart will make itself beard even in the drama of such an unparallelled destiny, and if the heart is not always a justification, it is at least an excuse. Justice should weigh such excuses, even when she condemns. Marie Louise never lovfd Napoleon.— How could she love him 1 He had (rrown old in camps, and amidst the tolls of ambition ; she wm onlr nineteen.
