But our curiosity was too much excited to allow this, and amid loud cheers, we escorted him to a room where he was furnished 1 with water and good clothes, and the bar ber! art was put in requisition, and after ' van incredibly short time, he re-appeared upon the collegosteps, amillng and bowing " gracefully, a man of ' as fine appearance and noble bearing a evereyea beheld The delight of the crowd at this transfor- mation was inte-nse, and repeated shouts -rentthe air, "Give ua La Parisienna," : : echoed from all sides, and as soon as si lence could be obtained, again that clear riob voice uttered those inspiring words; NO 49 People Francala, ponple do brore. ' LaLlberte foareaeabra..n He was conducted to the spacious chap el, and there for two hours he held an au dience f one thousand people spellbound, by one of the most interesting autobiogra phies that it. was ever our lot to hear. Born in Paris, of wealthy parents, he had in early life been thoroughly educated at the university of Wittemberg, and receiv ed the Master's decree. He soon after joined the fortunes of. Napoleon and with the rank of Lieut, was witn Dim during all his campaigns iu Egypt, in Italy, in Aus tria, in Russia and ki Waterloo. II is ac count of scenes in these battles, and his description of places and cities were ex pressed in choice and graphic terms, and on being compared -with history, were fount! to correspond in every particular. He i elated many unwritten and curious in cidents in the life of Napoleon, which has come undir his observation, and finally closed with a touching account of Lis own. career after the battle of Waterloo. In the terrible route that followed that memora ble event, his detachment was chased by a body of Prussian hussars, and becoming scattered in the night, he wandered for three days in the woods and by places without food or drink. The chase being at length given over, the poor Frenchman sank down weary and sick with hit; wounds, and ready to die by the road side. A Dutch girl, discovered him in this situation, brought him re freshments and cordmis, and among the latter a flask of brandy. "Here," said the old soldier, '"was tho beginning of my woes. 1 hat angel of mercy, with the best of nio'ives, brought me in that flask, a deadly foe, which was to prove more po- lent to r evil to me man an me uurning toils of the Egyptian campaign, or the in tolerable frosts and snows ot the Russins, more fatal than the cannon of seventy bat tles, which kindled in me a thirst more in satiable than that which forced mo to open my veins on the desert sands of the Last. Till that day I had never tasted strong drink. ' I had uttered a vow in my youth to abstain ftoni it, and to that vow 1 owed my life, for not one of all my comrades who indulged in the use of it, survived the hor ror of the Egyptian campaign. "But as 1 "lay in anguish, longing for death, and momentarily expecting his ap proach, a sweet fac appealed to me wear ing an expression of deep pity and sympa thy for my sufferings, and 1 could but ac cept without injury whatever slio gave.

It revived me 1 looked around, my a a IV courage, my love oi me rcturnea.- i ponreu'.forth my gratitudeinburningwords, and culled down the blessings of Heaven. Ignorant of what it was that, so suddenly inspired me, as soon as my spirit flagged I called for more. 1 drank again and again for three weeks her loved voice soothed me, apd her kind hand administered to my wants.. As soon as my strength was sufficiently recovered, fearing that some enemy might still be lurking near, I bade her adieu with many thanks and teals, 6ought the sea side, and embarked as a common sailor on the first vessel that offered, and have fol lowed the sea ever since. My fatal thirst has ever accompanied and cursed mt, in port and on deck this foe has debased me, and kept me from all cliam o of promotion. Oh. how often have I, in the depth of my heart, wished I bad died on the field of Waterloo, or breathed out my life in the arms of my gentleprcserver. Six weeks ago I . was wrecked on the packet ship Clyde, off tho coast of of Now Brunswick. I have wandered on foot through Canada andNi Hampshire, singing fora few pennies, or begging n.y bread, till I met your sympa thy to-day. How do these college halls, and this noble band of students recall to recollection the scenes of former years." The emotions of the stranger for a mo ment, overcame his voice, when he resura ed.tlie tears still coursing each other down, his cheeks; "I know not why God should direct my steps hither; but gentlemen, this shall be the beginning of a new life in me, and here in His presence, and in. that of these witnesses, 1 swear as l hope to meet you in Heaven, never to taste a drop of at cohol in any form airain." Prolonged and deafening cheers followed these words, and I noticed many a moist eye-. A collection was immediately made, and more than fifty dollars were put into his hands. As he ascended the coach to take his departure, he turned to the excited multitude who surrounded him, and said: "It is but jus4 lice that you should know ror name am Lieutenant Lannes, a nephew of the great Marshal Lannes. May Gpd bless you all fare welll" As these youths thoughtfully returned to their accustomed pursuits, not, a few resolved in their deepest souls, that temperance and virtue should ever mark their character, and that the soldier's row should be theirs.

Dropping the weapon she wrung her bands in despair. Suddenly an idea struck her she seized one of the bullets, placed it between her teeth, and by a tre mendous exertion bit it in two.. Dashing a charge of powder into (he barrcll, she rammed down one of the fragments, pri med and cocked the piece, and the next moment its muzzle protruded through the aperture, and covered . the body of the chief, sow advancing at the head of the parly towards the house. The quick eye of the savage caught the glimmer of the sight as the sun fell upon it, and he stop ped, ana Deiore lie had time to make a rush Miriam's finger pressed the trigger. When the puff of smoke from the distance' had cleared away, she saw him clutching in the air in the effort to recover himself. Before the other Indians, who seemed par' alyzed by the unexpected catastrophe, could afford him any assistance, he threw his hands above his bead, and whirling quickly around, fell upon his face. A shout of triumph burst from the lips of Miriam, as she saw the effect of the avenging shot, and then withdrawing from the loop hole, she commenced reloading the ritle. The Indianf remained motionless for a few seconds, transfixed with astonishment, and lifting the body of their chief, with drew to a respectful distance from the cabin, and the inmates half believed their peiil was over. But they were deceived. After getting out of gun-shot the sava ges clustered together and appeared for several minutes to bo in close conversa tion. At the expiration of their powwow, having apparently agreed upon their plan of action, the whole gang took open order, and dashed at full run, with wild yells to ward me dwelling. As the foremost came up Miriam Cook, who was now stationed at another loop hole, again discharged her rifle, and the unlucky Wyandott shot through both legs, dropped in his tracks with an involuntary snrieK oi agony. J. no outers Kept on, ana reaching the cabin, six of them clambered on the roof, and the other fire commenced tiring on the doors and cutting openings in (he logs. Those on the roof quickly kindled a lire on the shingles, which were soon in a blaze. The destruction of the cabin and its inmates now seemed inevita ble. There was a hogshead half full of wa ter in the house, Miriam, bucket in hand, mounted to the loft, and Hope anl Alice supplied her with water from below, by which she contrived to extinguish the flames as fast as they broke out, while she herself, enveloped, and almost suffocated by steam ami smoke, was invisible to the assailants. At length the water was exhausted, and one of the Indians observing that the ef forts of the besieged party wero slacken ing, venturea to poke his head through one of ll.e holes that had been burning in tho roof, to see how the land lay. Tho undaunted Miriam was standing within a few feet of the opening, and that instant she whirled the empty bucket around her head, and whirling it with a swing of her arm, struck him directly in the tort-fiend with the sharp edge of the staves. She heard the bones crush and the victim groan, and a moment after which, he was drawn away by his companions, three of whom descended Ironi tho roof, .bearing him in their arms. ' . Miriam now thought 6he heard the two remaining savages tearing the upper logs off the chimney, and presumed they in tended to attempt an entrance that way, she ran down stairs to prepare for them. "The feather bed,! the feather bed I" she shouted, and she reached the lower room, and this prized article in a frontier- man s inventory of household chatties was quickly brought forth and thrown into the huge faro place. By this time one of the Indians had fairly got in the chimney; and the other one about to follow. - - "Thrust the lighted brands into it quiek I" ' said Alice, and iu a . moment clouds of smoke from the burning feath ers, were descending the chimney. . The savage made an effort to scramble up a gain, but the pungent effluvia of the feath ers overcame him; and he fell heavily on the hearth-stone. In the meantime, Mi riam grasped the rifle and held it ready for bis reception. Scarcely had he reached the floor, when the iron bound point of the breech crashed through bis scull. . The other, who had caught a whiff of the va por in time to avoid a like fate, hastily descended from the roof.. Four of the thirteen Indians were now killed, but these casualties only added new fury to the remainder. Tbey well knew that the cabin was occupied by wo men only, and nothing could be more de grading in the eyes of these swarthy war riors vhan to be baffled by a parcel of squaws. .s ' ' They now roriousiy . aseauea. me aoor with tomahawks. To this proceeding the inmates could offoi no resistance. In striking the savage who had fell down the chimney, Miriam bad broken the lock of 'her husband's rifle, the only one they bad, and now handing the weapon to her sister- in-law, she armed herself with the axe of the young McAndre, which stood in the corner, and prepared herself for the last extremity. Alice betook herself to a very formidable weapon, the slaughter kr.ifu of the establishment, and thus armed, the three women ranged themselves on either side of the door, determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible. , In half an hour the Indians had nearly eut two planks out of the door, beneath the bar, a space just sufficient for a man to force his body through in a stooping pos ture, . They 'brought heavy pieces from the adjacent pile, and using them as bat tering rams, soon, beat in the weakened portion of the door, and at the same time driving the articles which had been piled against the door into the middle of the room. Taught cuution by the losses they had sustained, - they did not immediately attempt to enter through the eperture, but thrusting in and crossing their rifles, dis charged them into thj house. In this they had a double design that of killing or maiming some of the occupants, and get ting in under cover of the smoke. Before tho deafening sound had ceased, the feather-crested htad of the Wyaudott warrior parted the smoke-cloud that had obscured the interior; but as he rose from a stooping posture on entering, Miriam's axe descended with tremendous force, cutting through tho shoulder and collar bone into the chest. Ho dropped with a wild cry, half defiance, half agony. An other savage followed, and each to sink in turn undor the axe of the courageous ma tron. The fifth she missed, but instantly she grappled with him, and held him pow erless in her arms, -while Alice plunged the knife in hie bosom. Of the next two Unit entered, one was disabled by a severe blow-on the head from Hope's riflo, and the other very nearly decapitated by Mi riam's well directed axe. ' Of the thirteen bronzed warriors who had left their tribe for tho war path a few days before, only two returned un wound ed, and capable of service, and they, seiz ed with a janic at the havoc made "anion" their companions by the "long knife squaws," abandoned the design, and fled back to the village. To tho wounded left 1. . t I .... ni oetiinu no quarter was given. io have spared them would have been treason to the dead.

The next day a hundred mounted fron tiersmen assembled, and afier bringing in tho bodies of tho Cooks and McAndre, started for the nearest Wyandott village to take a wholesome revenge English Newspapers. The London "Times,' it is stated, circulates more than 60,000 copies. The "Morning Advertiser circulates 7,975, and no other British newspaper ; more than 4,500, except the "Times." The London "Times" was es tablished January 1, 1785, by John Wal ter; in 1 803, his son, John Walter 2d, succeeded to the management, and in 1837 he in turn was - followed by his son John Waller, 3d, the present publisher. The Times has secured its influence by literary merit, accuracy and enterprise, aud chiefly, by faithfully fMovting instead of leading, public sentiment. ' ' - v Every English, newspaper must have every sheet olhcmlly; stamped with its name, and be taxed two cents for each stamp; (hen every payer having to pay a heavy exercise duty on each pound made, the impost on each copy of a newspaper is aboutour cents; the Times is sold at ton cents, of which the publisher get but six cents.
