She is one of the few remarkable women of the Revolution, who took part in the occurrences of the struggle for American Independence. Iler hnsband, Gilbert Martin, was a sergeant in the army of Gates, and was engaged in the battlo of Saratoga. Mrs. Martin, then a very young woman, was on the on the field/during both struggles constituting this battle, and terminating in the defeat of the splendid army which Burgoyne had transported with such immense labor and expense from Canada, confidently anticipating that he would be able with it to divide the army of the patriots, and secure Sir llenrv Clinton in possession of the Southern line of defences. "Lot's take a horn" is a phrase frequently uttered. The blast of that horn is often a signal for the opening of the gato of Death. —i m —i D C. K. GORMAN, M.

SJ, JfM Mrs. Sigourncy, in her book, 'Past Medium,' gives the following charming picture of contented and virtuous old age: "I once knew an aged couple, who for more than aixty years bad dwelt in one heart- Wealth was not theirs, nor tho appliances of luxury, yet the plain house in which they had so long lived was their own. Humble in every appointment, that they might be free from debt, they were respected by people in the highest positions, for it was fett that they set a right example in all things. Every little gift orltoken of remembrance from fnonds— and all who knew theia were friends—awakened the fresh warmth at gratitude. Though their portion tvaa small, benevoienoe being inherent in their nature, found frequent expression. Always they had by them some book of slight expense, but of intrinsic value, to be given as a guide to the young, tbe ignorant or the tcmpteu. Cordials nlso, and simple medicines for debility or incipunt disoose, they distributed to the poor—for tliey were skBlful in extracting tho spirit ef health from herbs and a part of the gardes caltivated by their own hands, was a dispensary.. Kind Utving words had they for all—the fullness of their hearts' content brimming okt in bright drops to refresh thoso around. You take snuff, do you?

A MOST TERRIBLE SCENE. The last China advices givo tho particulars of a terrible affair at Macau. July II, a Dutch ship, the Ronoa sailed from M., with some 400 coolies for the Cuban market. Encountering a storm, tho cargo shifted, she sprung a leak, aud was forced to pnt back to Macao about the 20th of July. There she remained repairing, her officers preventing the coolies going ashore, for fear that they should cscape. For three weeks, no fear of an outbreak was entertained, until a Chinese doctor warned the captain that mischeif was brewing. In preparing for a rising of the coolies, the small arms were placed on tho noop, and two guns loaded with grape. About 9 o'clock rtf the night «f Aug. Htii, the disturbance commenced, and the crcw tookrofugeon the poop. The Captain fired a shot or two overhead, but as that had mo effect, and the coolies advanced yelling armed with belaying pins bricks torn from tho cooking places, Ac., t!ie Caota'n gavo orders to bis men to firet, and a vollej was poured into the infuriated mass from the two guns, and also from the small arms. This put down the riot, and the coolies were driven below, but thev sought revenge by setting fire to the ship and in a few minutes the flames issued from the fore hatch. The coolies rushed on deck, and murdered all the officers. The ship was soon in a blaze, fore andaft. Id about an hour the mainmast All with a crash, then the fore and mizen, and about midnight the magazine blew up with a tremendous e* plosion.
