Lfut since Una dreadful detent at Camden, I feel that every man is wanted for our country. Go then, dearest, and may God be with you. My prayers shall attend you night and day." David pressed the weeping girl to his bosom, snatched a hasty kiss at the sound of approaching footsteps, wrung her hand, and was gone. The next day he left the neighborhood of his house, armed with a musket and mounted on a sturdy horse. His destination was the American camp, then far northward ; but as the intervening country was filled with the enemy, lie knew thtsre would be considerable address required to effect his purpose, lie (ore his departure he saw a few of his old play, mates, who promised to follow him as soon as possible. Night found him near a lonely (arm house, to which he proceeded boldly in pursuit ol lodging. At first the occupant received him coldly, but a chance expression convincing David that his host was n lory, he affeeled the same polilical creed, and tvaa immediately warmly" welcomed. The rovnlist produced his cider afler supper, and insisted that David should join .him in his potations. This the young man di'l. taking care not to indulge too freely, while the tanner, overjoyed to find what ho supposed lo be a new recruit for his party, drunk wilhout stint, and becamo more and more communicative. 1 o his horror, David soon learned that a party ot royalists, led by Major Wilson, celebrated for his loryism and ruthlessness, were to start early on the ensuing day, on nn expedition to seize and hang the two Bunkers, who had made themselves particularly obnoxious lo llio royalist leaders. David knew enough of this pariizan warefare to be assured that no mercy would be shown to his friends.—He al-o knew enough of the charaeler o( the Major, to lead him to suspect that some strange personal motive had led to the planning of so distant an expedition when '.hero were others nearer home. Me accordingly set himself lo di-»- cover from his half inebriated companion thn truth. Nor was it long belore success crowned his adroit cross-exnmniation. "Now, men," .whispered llie leader of I he lories, 'when I give ihe word, fire a volley at the house by way of introduction; we will then surround the house and enter it." these two obaervations differ materially Irom those given to the public by Col.

In an insians the lights in the house were extinguished, end tho violin as quickly ceased, and a noise was heard at the door. The tories immediately made a rush at it. But it waa already barred, and being nude of siout oak (dank, resisted ail ilieir efforts. A rifle cracked from one of the windows, and a tory fell desperately wounded. Another report succeeded, and another tory felt.— Major Wilson was now fully aware that both Bunkers were at home, and wide awake. A shed turned the rain from the front of the house, and beneath the tories, shielded from the (ire of the Bunkers, went to work at the door. Suspecting resistance perhaps from his knowledge of their char, acter—one of his nu n had brought an axe, with which he commenced hewing at the door, and soon (5ut it lo pieces. Here a desperate battle ensued. The brothers were powerful, and courageous as they were strong ; and now with clubbed rifles they disputed the whole lory force. The door being small, they stood their ground for half an hour, felling, during that time, some of those w ho had the temerity to enter first, but finally numbers overcamo tliern, and they were flung upon the ffior and bound. The lories, inflamed lo madness, at the resistunce-that had been made and at their own looses, now seized the mother and sister, and made preparation.-- lo hang the two brothers lifloie their eyes. The ropes wero alteady tied around the necks of their victims, when the Major addressed his men : When the reign of winter is broken, spring comet to gladden nnd bless, When the flocks in the meadow are sporting, Ami the ruhin is building her nest. The limner walks forth to bis labor, And manly and firm is his tread, As he Bca'ters the seed for the hnrvest That yields to the nations their bread. Although my observations make the mean level ol the Pacific from 0,14 to 0,75 higher than the mean level of the Atlantic, this is probably owing to local circumstances alone. We may therefore decide thot there is no difference in tl.e mean levels of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans." '■Great complaints of the scarcity of hands como from all quarters of the country. The continuance of the exodus and the embodiment of the militia have combined to narrow the labor market to a most inconvenient limit. Some idea of the demand for agricultural laborers may be learned from the fact, that in one district (Limerick) the farmers are paying 12» fid per week (wet or dry weather) and diet, and on Monday morning, when fine weather set in, hands were eagerly picked up at 'Js fid per day and board." The reader will, no doubt be surprised at this low rate of wages in view of an aotual scarcity of laborere; which has now existed about a year or more, and continues to increase; but it is really b considerable advance upon what the pay of the agricultural laborers of Ireland formerly was. Twelve shillings, English ourrenoy, would be about two dollars sixty four els., for a whole week's hard toil. The ilubsis. tence mentioned is oniy the food of thfe laborer, and if he has a family he must maintain it in food and clothing out of two dollars and ehty.four csnis, besides pay. States Carts.

I nm one of (hat persecuted class denominated ''old maids" By going quietly about the world, taking care not to jostle my neighbors or hit against any of their rough angles, I manage to be cheerful and happy. In my travels 1 once became an inmate of a crowded boarding house. My little room had alrcudy began to look quite home like. The cheerful sun had expanded the fragrant flowers I love so well to nurture. My canary thrilled his satisfac tjon in a gayer song than ever ; and my picture*, books and guitar drove "dull care away" and beguiled many a pleasant hour and now my heart had found a few objects interest. ! had noticed on the stair-case and in the lobby a lovely child who seemed wandoting abouf at his own sweet will ; sometimes sitting wearily on the stairs almost asleep, then loitcrine at the kitchen door watching the operations of the cook; then peeping into I he half open doors of the different apartments. As by a rule of the house no children were permitted at the table it was some time before I could ascer. tnin who claimed the little stray waif.— One morning attracted by the caroll of my canary, he ventured to put his head inside my door. He needed little urging to enter, for he read with a child's instinct his welcome in my face. An animated conversation ensued about birds and flowers, bis large blue eyes growing bright and his cheek flushed with pleasure as story followed story as he sat on my knee. At length I said to him "Charlie, won't mamma be anxious if you slay so long ?" "Oh no" sakl he "Lizzie don't care." "Who is Lizzie ?" "Why she ia my mamma.— She don't care if I'm only out of her way. Lizzie made me this new frock," said he holding up his pretty embroidered dress, but sho don't know any pretty stories, and she says I'm a bore. What is a bore 1" said the sweet child looking trustingly into my face. "Never mind now," said I tear fully, "you may stay with me whenever you like, and we shall be very good friends." The dinner bell sounding, a gaily dressed lady vociferated in a voice anything but sivect " Charlie ! Charlie ! " When I apologized for keeping him so long she said carelessly. "Oil, it don't signify If you can have patien'ce with him ; he is so tiresome1* with his questions. I've bought liiin heaps of toys but he never wants to play and is forever asking me such old fashioned questions. Keep him when you like, but lake my word for it you'll repent your bargain," and she tripped gaily down to dinner. From that time Charlie and 1 were inseperable. Poor little Charlie!— Time in plenty to adjust those silken ringlet.' ; time in plenty to embroider all those liule gay dresses, but tor the soul that looked forth from those deep blue eyes, no time to sow the good seed—no time to watch lest the enemy should sow tares.— The thoughtless mother well content to pass her time devouring all sorts of trashy literature, or in idle gossip with her drawing-room companions. The young father weary with business troubles contented himself with n quiet "Good night," and closing the day wiih a visit to the theatre room. Poor Charlie, put to bed lor safe keeping, would lie for hours tossing restlessly from side to side " with nothing but his head," as she innocently said tamo.— What a joy to sit by his side and beguile the lonely hours, 1 told him of heaven and of the Savior who came into the world to save sinners. In his clear silvery voice he would repeat after ine "Our Father," asking the meaning of every petition ; then he would say "Why don't you tell Lizzie T Lizzie don't know any prayers."

He arose, therefore, and shook the Major's hand warmly ; pledged him immediately jn a pumper, and so contrived to make the royalist believn that he was anxious to join a troop, and lake part against (he rebels.

Totien, the Chief Engineer of thi Panama Railroad, has by his surveys as ceriained (he levels ol the Atlantio ant Paoifio Oceans to be the same. Th( result* ol his observation are published by the New York Post, from which we learn that they were taken in Navy Hay, on the Atlantic side, which, from its unobstructed opening into the ocean, probably afford* a correct oceanic level; and from the deop bend of the Bay of Panama, on the Pacific side, which probably does not give a perfectly correct oceanic level. On the Atlantic side a set of thirty-two consecutive observations were taken, in the month's ol August and September, the season of calms. On the Pacific two sets of obser. vation« were taken ; one in Mav »nd June, of fifty-lour consecutive tides, in a season of calms ; the other in November and December, of fifty-two consecutive tides, in,* reason of light winds. From these we learn that the mean tide of the Pacifio is above the mean tide of the Atlantio 0,750 feet, occording to the May utd June ob»ervation», or 0,140 according o those of November and December. 3ol.
