MEN'S HEARTS FAILING FOR FEAR.

The late attempt on the life of the French emperor, has revealed the weakness of the empire. A revolution is anticipated. From the N. Y. Tribune we gather the following items:
"According to my informants, writes the Vienna Correspondent of the London Times, who have recently arrived from Paris, the general opinion in that city is, that the present dynasty is nodding to its fall."
"An eminent American, now in France, writes in a letter, received by the Africa: 'There is a frightful foreboding in the bosoms of the French themselves. I was talking with a friend the other day, a very devout and clear headed woman, and she told me, sotto voce, that she talked with no one who did not feel a stifling fear of what was coming, of a day of vengeance too black to contemplate.'"
"At a ball in Paris, not long since, a senator, a great friend of the Empress, was congratulating her on her gayety and good spirits. 'Yes,' said she, 'I seek to forget myself; I know that one of these days, we shall all perish together.'"
