Thdnr ii'lier simple, story is' smobtbed in ther:mre `rilliahit oine of her busband, yet it .mai well knori, long before,Napo. leoa's admirers clanimed for him the treat' dTetihiy ho flntilly'decotmplished; it was a:cdtninon story in Paris, what ,we we are about to tell. ' It wis wvh le almpst a ebitid'that Jose pihink, ifd sole• of her wanderings with ieischonl-mattes, c~ame across a vagrant gipsy fortsuie-teller. The wOman, at tracted in soine why toward the beauti fal child fiisfsted bpon telling her for. tune, eiren against lier will and without reiward.' She told her that,she would ver3' soon be a wife, a widow,' aid after waitds "Queein f T'rance. The predic, tion. iiin itself is common enough, but simple qs it was, it had its eff'ect upon Josephine, who immediately embraced it as a .iet, and could for a long time think of noithino else. When 'the lilfllment came to the first part of the predictiont, of cornse it strengthened her in the belief of the rest, and even when in piison under sentence of keatl, and her bed was taken from her lit liight because she was to die in the morning, she bade her friends liave'cobrage that it wonld not be so, and that she would sit upon that throne then beneath the bloody feet of Robes pierre. and when the jailors in derision called upon her to name her maids of hoiior, that they might be ready when slip was queen, she did so, arid her nomn ination was finally fulfilled to the letter. On that very night Rohespiorre fell. Had his dowznfall occurred one week earlier, Josegplfaie's husband would not have. been one of his victims; had lie livCd one day longer she mould have been another of them. There was but little lapse of time be tween her liberation from prison and hlermarriage to Napoleon, aad it was by the influence she exerted that he was appointed to tle' command of the army in Italy, after which the path that led them upward was clear and open, until the destiny she insisted upon was ac complished, and the crown was placed upon her head. But there was one thing more that Josephine had foretold for herself, which was the uitter loss of, and rank to, which sihe had been so wonderfully elevated, and still while she brooded over this, Napuoleon, who wais her lonl, gathered new power and yielded to new ambi tions; she tried to crush it, and to point out what should be his true aims; but he was an Emperor, and desired to be the founder of a new Empire. How well her instincts tcld her that the time was rapidly approaching wh'en that ambition would put her away. Then came the, close of the campaign of 1809, and she saw that the hour was ap pro aohuag still nearer that was to seal both their fates. There was no longer the confidence of the past between them -no longer'.the seeking of sympathy and advice. It was on the 20th of November 1809, and the court was especially gay in hon or of the King of Saxony. Josephine sat at the windtlow of her oudoir, look ing out upon the river, when she heard ia step at the door, and rose to meet Na poleon, who caught her in his arms with more of the olden time embraces than she had-known for months. She led him to the sofa on which she had been sit ting, and seated herself by his side. For a few moments there was silence, and hlie spoke: "Josephine, you have been weeping. Are you unhappy?" ,"No, sire! not with you." ,"Nonsense! Josephine, who do you call sire?" Of late you are making these forms overshadow all our htPli ness." "Then why should they not be forgot tena by both? You have now reached tlhait point of ambition that shonuld con tent you. Will you turn the miqniet godi fr'om your bosom or our own hap pinessl" "You misnnderstand me, lady," lie said, qnickly rising from his sent. and leaning against the window, said, "I'm seeking nothing for myself, but every thing for France." "It is for France, Napoleon," she said drawing close to his side and taking his handl in hers, "that you would put away froam you, not only a true wife, but a true friend! Think not that I have bceu blind, sire, to this. My alarmed heart has told me all, and believe me that I am offering no protest to your will; .bhnt oh, sire, examine well your heart before you act." He stood silent while she was peak ing, and tben( with a face tnned full upon the streaming umnnonliht, be drew away his hand~ds. She eontiaued : '"And, oh, sire, bhelevetme that thonugh I am to leave your throne and your side, I shall never cease tolove yon too deep ly for any peace. Thetefore it is that I p!.ead that yon will look well into youear heart before Son yield your thture to had eopues." . He drew qnickly from the w;ndow and w.alked forward to the centre of the room. "'You sympatlhize with me, madam; 1 act only with reason. The good of thl izdividual must. yield to the good o France. Farewell!" *"Stop!" said she, and Josephine ste p ped quickly across the room and caught his arm, drawing him as she did so againi to the window. "Do you sea that start and bl~b pointed at .one, that shone with marked brightness. This is any destiny .Iy it you . hare risen. To me it hani promise.d a..tJhroue, . Through me you have accomplished it; part from me and you fall. Yes, fall, to die in sorrow, neglect and exile! Rememember this, Na poleon, and remember. these words when it is not too late to recall the act that Ino words of unine anti prevent." SNapoleon gazed almost in terror at 3her who stood like a phrophetoss gazing out wit:h eyes like fire upon the heavens, cand then with a hear talmost of sick ness, he turned away and left the room without a word. . Ten dugys passed before hlie ad the nerve to strike the blow which broke the golden chain that bound them, and from that moment, as he afterwards confessed at St. Helena, the tall of Na poleon. began, till he died a broken hiearted exile upon an island in mid ocean. tEATH OF AN EvDIToI.---James I Barnley,. for twenty-four years editor in chief of the Louisville Denimorat, died recently, at Louisville, Ky. Prof. Har ney, prior to the starting of the Demo crat in 1844, was principal of one of tidh leading colleges in Louisville, and dln ring his presidency of that institution gave to the world a work on algebra, which, though it met with little success as a standard work, gave- the author much reputation as a mathematician. Mr. Harney was a Democrat of the old school, and his writings, terse and poin. ted, showed him opposed to what is termed progressiveness in'politins. He died full of years and full of honors. Ileaco to his dust. A GIEA&T f NDEU.ITAKIiNG.- The Mor mons have projected a. temple so nast in its dimensions that it is estimated a century or-two will be required for its colmpletion. It is to be built of granite. The blocks are so large that ten or twelve oxein can only draw one of them. The distaunce from the quarry to the temple is eighteen miles and it takes three days for one trip by an ex team. Brigham says the completion of this temple will be the signal for the end of his power and the com ntencement of the seceond advent. Brigham will be turned to dust long before that time. But af ter all, lie has only, in this enterprise, afforded an expansive, example of the vanity of mankind, exhibited every day and everywhere. Brigham, if not more wise, has at least pronud boast that he has conceived a prQject that eclipses the generality of wordly follies, and renders them, by contrast, of such insignificance as to make their projectors ashamed of them.--[liichmond Dispatch. WrIo wAS SANTA CLA'S.-Santa Clans was one of the oldest. ideas of the Celtic West in Pagan times, as he was of the Pagan East before. In Christian tines lie was still regarded with religio.u reverence, sitting, as hel had sat for ages in Egypt and elsewhere, in the arms of his another. Santa Claus was, in fact, the child Jesus in the middle ages; and throughout that period the festive creed of Germany and all Celtic Europe was that he visited all family dwellihngs of good Cihristinas on the eve of his anni versary, and brought with him gifts and blessings for the children. This beanti ful tradition is still to be found lingering in G.ermany, though Sata Clanus does not seem to be Slpcially connected with it by name. Tihe truth of this original belief is plainly enoughl' indicated by the word "Claus," which, in the Gothic or Ancient German, mIeanias "-Child" ani "Son." "Santa Claus" formerly meant the "Holy Child." A petition to Congress has been got ten up by some Radical G:rmans of Boston, asking for an amendment to the Coustitution to provide for the abroga tion of the office of President. and for the apIpointme't t by Congress from amtnng its own members of an execuntive committee, or other capable citizens. Tire idea is that the Presidency is a sort of remnarnt of royalty that should not be eonntenanced in a republic. 'lre Radical mind at Washington is in good condition to receive tihe Anggestion of this petition favorable. The Exective is considered an obstrnc tion to the proper development of the popular will, and therefore, as nnneces sary as it is mnischlievous, and shouild therefore be abolished. The scheme cnoutemplates that the people shall have thepower to remove their representa tives in Congress at any timne during the term for which they were elected. As we are in thie mildst of a revolution, we shall not be sunrprised if this scheme should be one of its nsuccessfull fruits. STRIKING IN THE DASK.--Rob Flynn, anegro blacksmith of Franklin, Ky-., aIntely sentin his bill to Washington for $497 50, for Government work In the war.

"There is uany a slip betwixt the cup t and the lip"-especially in politics. Twou weeks ago, it Qc~emed to be regarded as a conceded ainil settled thing that General Grnut would be the Republican candi, date for President. We do not under take to say that this blossom is already bhlasted, for the action by which Gen. Grant Ihas, impaired his chances is yet too recent to allow its fiull. effects. The Stiln must shine for a while on iulds nippe) hby spring frosts before the extent of ,the blight is manifest;. Bat'we opiane that Gen. Grant is not i. as fair. a way to get the Republican nomination ias he waus bethere he committed lilinsel'f the th Radicals by the part he has acted in the reiustatement of Stanton. It may look, at first blush, like a fthu cifll paradox to ·ay that a candidate diminaisnhes his chances of a nomninaatioa by giving in to the policy of the party fron which he expects it. B. ut in OGen. Grant s ease there are good retsoiis flor reerding this apprrent orthodox as the simple truth. Grant's srtength with the Repulblicans has grown out of their fears that hlie would be run by the Damal ocrats. Had it not been for these fears, he probably would never have been, thought of as the Republican candidate. It was known that he had been bred a I)emocrat; that lie gare liberal termsof snrrender to Lee and his army; that he was an original supporter of President .olhnson's reconstrnction polic3 ; that he had protested against the prosecution for treason of rebelsoldiers if they kept their pa roles; that he hand endorsed many applications for pardon by promineiit rebels; that he had stood at President Johnson's right hand when lhe received the committee of the Philadelphia Con vention; that he ecomnpanied the Presi dent od his Western tour; that he made what Senator Sumner denounced as a "white-w:shing" report on the loyalty of the Sonth. and its fitness for inmmle diate restoration; and that he had utter ed stron" opinions against negro suf frage. These antecedents were consis rent enough with a l)emocratic nomina tion, and it is not strange that, previous to the great reaction in the fall elec tions, hi;s popularity as a soldier caused some discouraged Democrats to look wistfully toward himi. As soon as this half-formed design was discovered, as tite Replhlicans undertook to head it off hy holding ont to Grant the lure of the Repuiblican nomination. Grant was at first shy! he then wavered; then en vcloped himself in thick mysrery; anda 'at last he has changed his politics. ant in this step his ambition has got the bet ter of his discretion as well as of hisl principles. By rendering it impossible for the ])emocrats to run him, lie has restored to the Repuhblican party its full freedom of choice. They are no longer under the necessity of trying to put his prestige into their scale, lest the DIemo crate should have the advlantage of it. In times so tunrlhlent and changeful as those on which we are entering, it is not safe far anybody to turn phropliet; but as we cast Gaant's horoscope at this plresent itmomalent, his prospects aare 1verg ing toward an eclipse.-[iN.

His present role is that of a martyr, and he will dounatless play it to the end. lie wants the Democratic nomination for the PresidenCy, and lie thinks that by standling as the persecuted and pa tient representative of that party for a while e he may get it. Hence no iolent demonstrations, nlor even aany loud speeches, are to be looked for from him for some time to co(me. It looks, too, somewhat as though his game might win. 1I'.

The territory of this State is only forty miles in circmanftrence, and its ipopulation about 7,000. The republic: was foiunded more than 1,400 years ago, on mnoral priniciples, industr-y and equity, and has ldreserved its liierty lalndl independencce amiid all the wars and discords which have ragted alrounal it.

There has been considerable talk inl regard to the circular No. 1 rccetitly is sted fron the Freedmen's Bureau, rela ting to advances of corn meal and Ineat to planters. It is rather too coUnplex, too restrictive in its provlisions to lie of any great benefit. It will not, tend ,to prodnce fifty thousand bthalt cotton.. It is as stringent in its rebqirements.as sitnlilfr olders heretofore issued. By article:hird it will be6' s:en the planter mnef hind himself to refuntud the costs of supplies (merley c'ot'nuual aPdc ineat), Ibfioe the expiration'of the year.

I)DecemIber next. This is rather too stringent. Ilundredsof plan ter~ cannot forward their crtops to market beforet thae ;months of Jauuaury, and Febhrary. and many in remote Isections not till March, as the situntion and low stae ofl'the riversa and bayous inl our St.ate co;firm tit this time. .Another most palpable proposal of in instice is that he Bureaun is to st'lect andl designate the morchanlts or factors in our city, who shall receivo and have the selling of the crops. The question is asked, does the (iovcrnmient, through the Bureau nia agents intend to open a ogeneral foeterago and commission business? Another important view is to be considered. How are the prices and" vnlne of the supplies to be furuishedt liVho is to furnish them? By contraet tors, or the regular. commissary depart mnent of the GoSvernmentmc It will be observed that those desi'roan of availing themselves of the provisions of this order, must make affidavit that they are actually in a state of starvation; must give bond and security for every twent:v freedmen for whom Supplies are wanted. The next important qnestion is who is to determine the prices for the supplies. Government con traetors are generally disposed to take advantage if possible. WVo do not find any provision made for bagging, rope or iron-ties, nor for iinplenients for working the laud carts, muoles or horses. A planter may be in a situation to furnish bagging and rope. Is the freedman to have at first lien, or rather Government, on the cotton, irrespective of the bagging and ties? The cotton canot hI sent to market without being bailed, nor can sugar and molasses he shlipped without hlhds. and barrels. Tht-re will also be other necessaries required. The circul:ar is t-onflned to merely corn timeal, hard bread and meat. If there should be at large iulnbher avail themselves of tihe tender of the (Gove'rnl meat, we shall expect next anutumn to have a large increase of new 'cotton houses. There dose not nppear to I)e any provision made whereby the freedmen can be comnpellea to perform their contraets. Circular No. 2 is about as complex regarding transfer or mnoving from one parish to another. The fact is simply, the planting and rasing is beyond the abil.ty of the Government. There will of course le some planters, who will avail themnselves of the propos:ls. 'We hope they may succeed. VWe, however, believe there will not be fifty tlhousand bales of cotton, at this port, added to the crop through the nction of the Government Bureau niid agents.
