THE SPY; A SKETCH OF THE WAR Or  1812.
The Wer of 1812 wae at its height. The tonea of the thundering cannon had already nn- noanced anoiher brilliant riciory for tbe lion hearted eons of freedom—and the bloody field of Chippeway wbb atrewn with the wounded and dying. Terrible, indeed, had been the conflict between the opposing forces; for the Ameri^ cana. under (he command ot General Brown* had battled with an equal number of the choeen veterans of Wellington. Notwithstanding, how¬ ever, they labored et sucti a disadvantage, their efiortswero crowned with 6ucces8,and the Brit. i»h retired Irora the field with a loss of near five hundred killed, wounded and taken prisoners, while that of the Americana scarcely numbered three hundred. But the conflict waa not yet over; the forcea of tbe enemy were drawn off in tbe direction of Fort George, whiiher they were immediately followed by General Brown- After considerable Bkirmiahing on both eidea, without having met in any regular engagement, the forces of each were drawn up on the field of Bridgewater, where tbe British had preEumod an advantage by occapying an eminence well fortified by thrice the number mustered by the Americana. The assault was regularly com¬ menced fay the latter, on the morning of the 25ih of July, and raged with untired fury during the day, when the Americana, finding that auch an unequal combat would not serve thom to nny advantage, decided upon a coup de main, by which they might become posaeaaed of the ene¬ my's adventogeous position. Thia determina¬ tion was, however, abandoned, aud the British made a desperate attack upon the left wing of the Americans, who wiihatood it eo firmly, that General Riall, tha English commander, waa forced into the belief thai the numbers of hia opponents were much greater than what ihey really were. Acting under this impression, he diapatched a messenger to General Drummond (or rc-'iaforcemcnta. According to the hiatori. an, " uo awful pause ensued bctvcen ih» tm^ armica, nd for a time no mmnd broke upon tbe atillnesa of the night, but tho groans of the woun¬ ded, mingled with the diaiant din of the caia- fact of Niagara." Both eidea, it seemed, had paused for a time to rest from the bloody conflict. During thie pause, each party eilently watched the actions of the other witha suspicious eye. determined to allow no advantage to be takon.
Tbe shades of evening had long fallen upon tbe earth, and hidden from mortal view ih^ bloody scene that was being enacted on the field of Bridgewater, The camp fires of the two'an mies threw a dim and feeble light over the hag¬ gard forma of the combatantsi who had paused only to renew the work of deitmction.
At this time, General Brown determined t send ouc a spy to reconnoitre the poshion and numbers of the enemy, so that he might better be prepared to lead an attack, when the light be¬ came sufficient. To carry out this design, he gene for Colonel Miller, one of his most experi¬ enced and tried ofiicera, and desired to know if he knew of a person who would undertake to enter the linee of the enemy and ebtain the re¬ quired information. After musing for a moment, the Colonel replied that there was a yonng raan in his regiment, by tho narafof Walter Maraton, who he thought posiessed the requisite qualifi- •ationi forthe enterprise, being both brave and eautiouB.
"Send the youngman tome, Colonel,'*«aid: Brown ; and in a short time a youth, scarcely twenty years of age, was uehered into the pres¬ ence of the American . commander. General Brown started up from hii seat with surpriBe, upon beholding him, and exclaimed: " Can it bs poacible, sir, tbat you are the person selecied by Colonel Miller, to perform this hazardous mission J"
" I feel greatly flattered thai such is the case, lir." replied the young eoldier, touching his cap and smiling at the astonishment manifested by his superior.
" Why, air." said Brown, quickly, " yon are t boy,Bir—merely a beardless and inexperUoced boy, sir!"
" That may all be true, General,'* quietly re¬ sponded young Marston, *• but what I lack in age and experience, I trust I may replace by courage and a:n ardent desire to serve my coun¬ try."
" Right, young man—right," eaid the com¬ mander, evidently much pleased with ib« oih- er'aanswef, ''I seo that you here the trueprin ciples within you, «o,I will at once entrust this important matter with you, hoping thai you may mako it of much eervico to your country, as well u to your fellow soldiers."
Wiih this, the General procsedad to Uy be- fore the young soldier hia instructione in regard to the required information; and after ehaking him heartily by the hand, bade him hasten upon hifl enterprisu. Young Marston immediately assumed the garb of a British soldier,so as to belter avoid detection wbile in the ranks oi the enemy, and set out from the American linee.
Walter Maraton was the only child of Major Maraton, a brave and much lamented officer, who periehed at the hard fought battle of the Thames, while fighting valiantly for the rights of bis coantry.
Shortly after this sad event, hia wife followed him 10 the grave, leaving iheir only child with¬ out a kind proiedor or guardian inthe world.— Thus it was, atthe early age of filteen years, young Waller, burning with adesire to dlstin guish himaelf as his noble father had done be-' fore hira, entered the army,' and consequently .   became inured to the perils and hardshipe o* war, ere he waa barely nble to shoulder a mui- kei.   His father, aa was the case with most sol¬ diers and officers   at the period of wfaJoh we write, was in rather hmiied circumstances in a pecuniary point of view J and conttqugnUf the' son's education coneisied more in the endow menifl of nature, than that derived from the' teachings of others.   Yet such was hia inclina¬ tion ior Uterary puiBuits, that bia leifiure mo¬ ments were mostly spent in tho improvement ofl his naturally brilliant mind j and what he lacked in asaistance, was more than cancelled by ener¬ gy and an unwavering determination to triumph over all obstacles.   Another canse that urged young Marston onward, was his desire to make himself the equal in point of educaiion anti men¬ ial acquirements, of one Alice   Barton, with whom he was desperately m lova; and that his affectiona were ae warmly rficiproci^t«d, he had not the least doabt.
Alice Barton was the only child of wealthy parente, andi as a matter of course, was mdcfa petted and caressed by them. Yet we deem it bat sn act of jmiice to state, that althoogh ih» WM trwi AiiM Vii &r from b»U» whsK.Uie
world ia common parlance terms a "*j»tW child:* O, no, sho waa a giri of too much sense to be deceived by such trifling fainily com¬ pliments. That sbe bore a handsome,face, was admitted by every one of her acqnainuntse, end many a disappointed loversighed insecret, as he was forced to gaze upon charms that fortune had placed beyond hia reach.
The father of Alice had served in the ranks of Itis conntry, dnringtfae long and doubtful struggle for mdependence, and it was perhaps owing to this fact, and the iestimaiion in wbich he held the ohunpions of liberty and justice, that ha had often been heard to eay that hia daughter shoald peV8r,"wiih bis consent, " wed any man but a soldieir,- and that one should hold a rank not inferior to a lieutenant!" For this rea¬ son, then, in part, did WaUorMflraton enter the army at so early an age, and undergo the many dangers and htrdships to which the life of a' sol¬ dier is etpoaed a He was well assured that if he did not strictly comply with the will of her fath¬ er, however agreeable be might be in other re- apecte, he could never expect lo receive the band of Alice in wedlock. With auch an object be¬ fore him, it ie no wonder that heshould embrace J every favorable opportunity to bring his action into the notice of bis superiors. It was in this way, that in a abort lime, he began to be looked upon as a. person ol aome importance in the rel ^iment, to which ha was attached- It was not long until he attracted the notice of the brave Colonel Miller, who being greatly pleased with his soldier-like bearing, and gentlemanly de- portmem, gave him themost of a sergeant in hie regimiant. Thus it seemed that our hero was in a fair Vay of realizing bia brightest pros- pecu, for he had so far gained the confidence of Colonel Miller, that whenever the latter deaired to have an especial action performed, he was: sure to require the valuable serv^weof Waller Marston. So, as befora related, when -.called. upon oy General Brown to find a suitable person; 10 act as spy uponthe movements of the enemyi; he was at no lues to secure a person suited in; every respect to perform the service required.
After leavmg the American tines, the young epy. Walter Marston, walked rapidly," but cau- tioocly around the western wing ofthe enemy, who were drawn np in one solid column of near-, ly a half mile in length; and crossing behind the main body, aucceeding in reaching in-safe-: ly, an old dilapidated building, which had once been used ase barn or an outhouse, where he could with ease, observe what was taking place in the British camp, without beingeeenhlmself. He could observe that there was considerable; confusion in the ranks of the enemy, and thst an important movement waa being made, in regard to the location of The heavy pieces of artillery upon the summit of the hill, where it would command the whole field, which would render ad hope ofsuccesR vain with the Americans, unless they could effect a capture of this post. He had just arrired at the conclusion to endeav¬ or to return with this important intelligence to his friends, when he was startled by the ap¬ proach of footsteps. Nor was his dismay les¬ sened, when two peraons, who,by their bagusge, he judged lo be British officers, paused beside the building in which our young spy was secre¬ ted.
" What time may we expect the reinforce¬ ments from General Drummond, Colonel Ka* sen T" aaked one ofthe officers, in an undertone, of hia companion.
" In a few hours, at least, Capiain, replied the oiher, provided we can manage to hold out against these infernal Yankees for that length of time."
** Then do you really think that the forces ol our enemy so far exceed our own, as General Riall supposes T" asked the Captain.
" No, I do noithink so ; and were I the com¬ manding oflcer of our force, I'd d -d quick
show these presumptuous Yankees that their ragged vagabonds could not repulse the chosen
troops ol England  with impunity!    By !''
added the enraged officer, Btaropiog hia foot up- _ on the earth " il makes me feeHike cutting my own throat, when I think that we are to be beat¬ en, in every engagement, by a set of half-starv¬ ed, half.naked rascals, not worth the amunition required lo blow thera to Davy Jones' locker !" Thia angry and haughty speech had come I^^ify *tt^ *»eii»sr tho- lact- wTwr-trttoroa- Dy XU9 haughty Briton, as it was rather more than tbd fiery blood of Walter Marston could bear—for leaping forth from his place of concealment, be madly attempted to stab the officer with his sword, in which inlention he would undoubted¬ ly have succeeded, had not the companion ol the Colonelturned aside the weapon ero it took ef¬ fect- He was instantly disarmed, and having his arms closely pinioned behind his back, was led into the camp, where he was speedily ar¬ raigned before the British General as a apy.— After asking several questions in regard to the numbers and situation of the American forces, to all of which the prisoner managed to answer evasively, the General offered the young spy a free pardon and a magnificent reward besides if he would consent to betray his companions. To this the prisoner replied:
" Sir, if you think that bribes or love of life will induce me to turn traitor, you havo raisia-1 ken your man. If you would know more than ' I chooso to tell you, you must seek an answer of | General Brown at the cannon's mouth <*'
" Then your doora is sealed—cursed spy!" shouted Riall, foamiug with rage and disappoint¬ ment. Immediately calling a corporal's guard, he commanded that he be instantly shot as a spy.
Alas ! it seems that poor Waltar Meraton's brightest hopes for the future were blasted!— Who can imagine tho thoughts and feelings of this noble yonth, just entered upon a brilliant career^wbose sky so clear and transparent a moment before, now suddenly overcast witb & dark cloud, tbat threatened to shut out the sun¬ light of his existence forever. Though the grim visage of death was staring him in the face, Waller Marston was firm and composed ; ond with the exception of a certain quivering about his lips, snd that his festures were somewhat paler, no one could have told that he was doom¬ ed to suffer an ignominious death. Alas ! eo young, so noble and brave—it wore a pity to see thee die, yet fate hss so willed it! Arrived at' laat upon tho spot designed for the execution, the officer of the guard informed the prisoner that ha must prepare for death.
*' Sir,*' exclaimed the other, proudly drawing bis beauiiful form to its full height, " en Amer¬ ican, and an honest man, is always prepared for deaih. Yon bave received your orders—I om ready for their execution."
" Then you shall not have long to wait," re¬ plied the other in a aavsge tone. " Attention! Present arms!"
" Hold -"' cried the spy, at this moment tear¬ ing off tho British nuiform, which he had before forgotten, and stamping it beneath his feet ; "J would not die ih the disgraceful garb of an Eng¬ lish hireling !"
"Fire!" roared the officer, burating with passion, and forgetting to give the preceding or¬ ders. That moment moro than a dozen wea-^ pons were leveled at the breast ofthe unEortn- nate soldier, and the next would have witnessed the close of his mortal career, had not a body^f American troops, beaded by the gallant veteran Colonel Miller, dashed among them at tbia.in- stent, and rescued onr hero from the very jaws of death.

" Thank God, my boy !" exclaimed Miller, dismounting and graiping; Walter warmly by the hand, while the tears rolled down his sun¬ burned cheeks,!' I never expected to see you alive again.*'
The cause of the sadden assault of the Amer icana, was this: Alter wailing a anfficient length of time for the return of Walter Mawlonj and at last coming to the conclusion that hehad either been killed or taken prisoner. General Brown determined to assault the enemy, and by & coup de main gain posspssion of the British batteries that he had been informed wera abont being located bn the heights. It was on this oc< canon that General Ripley addressed Colonel Miller* and inquired if ho could storm the bat- teries at the bead of hia regiment (the 21st). if properly aappon^d by another under the com. mand of Ripley.

A Tale of £oVe and Stratagem'   .
" The critter loves ma ! I know she lovee me!" aaid Jonathan Pobkins, as he sat on the , corn field fence, meditating the course of true love, that was rnnning—as Mr. Shakaposre said it did—rather roughly. " If Suke Eeabody has; taken a shine to that gawky long-shanked, stammerin', shy critter, Gusset, just because' he's a city feller, ahe aint the gall took her for, that's sartoin. No. it's the old folks, dom. their ugly pictures. Old Mrs. Peabody was allers a dreadful highfalutin' critter, full of stuck-up no¬ tions; aud the old man's a regular soft head, driven by his wife just as our old rooster is driv-_ en about by onr cautankereus five-toed Dorken hen. But if I donU spile his fun, my name ain't Jonathan. I'm going to the city by railroad next week, and v;hen I come back I'll wake snakes—that's all."
The above eoliloquy may serve to give the reader some idea of the land in the pleasant rus¬ tic village where the speaker resided.
Mr. Jonathan Dobkins was a young farmer well to do in the world, and looking oui for a wife, and bad been paying bia address to iUiss Sosan Peabody. One ^r. Cornelius Gusset, who kept a dry goods shop on Hanover street, Boston, suddenly made hia appearance in the field and began the cutting out game.
Dazzled with the prospsct ol becoming a mer- ohant's wife, and peaiered with the importunity of her aspiring mamma, the villags beauty begari to waver, when her old tover^deiermined one last and bold stroke to foil his arrival. He went 10 the ciiy and returned ; ofbis businesa he said nothing—not even toa pumping old maiden nuni, who kepi houae for him. He wont not near the Peabody's but labored in hie corn-field awaiting the resultof his' machine, tiana.
The next day, Mr.'Gusset was seated with the old folks end theJr daughter, in the beat room of Peabody's mansion, chatting as pleasantly as poMiDle, whi-n the door opened, and in rushed a verj dirty Irishwoman.
"Is it ihere ye sit. Mr. Cornelius Guesti?— Come out of that before 1 loicb ye, ye spalpeen ! U iha: what ye promisKd me before the prasie. ye hathen, ye nagurl Running away trom me aod the childer—foraakeo* yer lawful wedded wife, and runnin'g after tho Yankee girls, ye infidel."
" >Voman there must bs some mistake here, *' stammered Gusset, taken all aback by this charge.
"Pivilabit of a mitJtako, ye aorpent! Oh, wirra, wirra, waa it for the likes of ye I sacked little Dennis McCarty, who loved the very ground I trod on, and all bekase ye promised to make a lady of me, ye black, diny Ibafe of the world I Will ye come on to the railroad station, where I left little Patrick, bekase he waa too aick with the emall-pox to come any further, or will ye wait till I drag ye ?" ¦' "Go, go along; go, and I'll follow you," gaaped Gusaet. He thought it best to tempor¬ ize.
"I'll give you ten minuteSf" said the viragp, " if ye ain't there, it's me cousin Thaddy Mag- ruddy will be after ye, ye thafe !" And away went the unbidden guest. Mr. Gusset waa then engaged in stammering out a denial of all knowledge ofthe virago,when the parlor door again opened, and a little black- eyed hatchet-faced woman, in a flashy eilk grown, and a cap of many ribbons parebiBed on the top of her head, invaded the sanctity ofthe paHor.
"Is he here ?>*  she cried   in a very   decided
French accent.
Then she added with a groan,
•*'. Ah ! mon Dieu ! zare he ia !   Trailore.mon-
Btori    Vat for you runs away from me?   Dis
l-two.. three yoara, I  never see ¦ yon—nevair, and
my heart DToke very "SStf^Bntfrery."    "	
" Who are yoa!" cried Gusset, hia eyes ate- ring out of his head, and shivering from head to loot.
"He asks me  who I am?    Oh! you area
very respectable old gentleman—yon hear what
he asks!   "Who am I ? perfide, I am your vifo !"
" I never saw you before, so help me God !"
cried Gusset energetically.
" Don't you swear!" said old Mr. Peabody ; " if you do I'll kick you into fite. I won't have any profane swearing in my houae.
"Oh, hIesB yon, blesa you, respectable old gentleman ! Tell him he must come wiz me ; tell bim I have spoke to'ze conaiable; tell him —" here eobs interrupted her utterance.
" It's a pesky bad fausinees," said the deacon . chafing with unwonted ire. "Gusset, you area raacal!"
' Take care, Deacon Peabody, take care,8ir," said tbe unfortunate shopkeeper.
I remarked that you were a rascal, Gusset. You have gone and married two wives, aod that are's flat burglary, ef I know anything about the Revised Statoote,'»
Two vita !" shrieked tha little French wo¬ man.
"Half-a-dozen, for aught I know to the con¬ trary 1" 6aid_the deacon. ** Noow you get eout of my house; go away to the station and clear out to Boston, I want nothing mots to do witb you." "But deacon, hear me." •' I don't want to.hear you,you sarpint," cried the deacon, stopping his ears with hia hands J "you marryin' two wives, and comin' a qortin' a third !   Go 'long; clear out.''
Even Mrs. Peabody, who waa inclined to put io e word for the culprit, was fiileiiced.   Susan turned from him in despair; he fled to the rail¬ road  depot, hotly  pursued by  the clamorous j French woman; i
Thai afternoon, as Miss Susan Peabody was j walking towards the village, she was overtaken by Mr. Jonathan Dobkins, dreesed in his best, and driving a fast-going hone before bis Sun' dsy-go.to-meetmg gig. He reigned up and thua accosted her: " Hello, Suke ; get. in and take a little ride." "Don't keer efl do, Jonathan," replied the young lady, accepting the proffered seat.
*' I aay, you," said Jonathan, grinning, "that ere city fellar'a turned out poorly, ain't he 1" " It's dreadful, if it's true," repiid Susan. " You had a narrow escape, didn't ye ?" pur¬ sued her lover.   " But he warn't any  account, no how.   What do the old folks think of it V
"They hain't said a word aince ho cleared out."
" Forgot the night I carried you home from singing school?" aaked Jonathan, suddenly branching off.
" No, X hain't'' replied the lady, blushing and smiling at the same time. " Rpmember them apples I gin yet" **'0h, yes.''
" Well they waa good, wasn't they f " FuBtrate, Jonathan." ," Got ahull orchard full ofsuch kind of fruit,'* eaid Jonathan, suggestively. "Susan was silent. I

"As the good man alwaya dies. He called hia family aboat him atthe gray dawn of thie Sabbath morning, and they came, some from tearful watching, some from deep^stumber after last night'a tears; and he spoke to them words of anblime ond holy import, and when his voice grew feeble he looked at thero, and they aaid his face waa radiant with the.light he saw but thiy saw not, only as thua reflected; and at length, as the first aun rays came across tbe hill, and through his window, and lit the room with Sab- bath luster,, he broke out in a hymn, and sang with broken voice, but not unmusical.
' Oh bappy harbor of God's saints '— and then died." " What, said nothing after tho hymn f" " Nothing.bnl he looked steadfastly into heav- en, as i( he eaw Stephen's vision; and his while hand beat time to aome unheard music, long after be had ceased to sing.   Suean asked me, in her aimpIe way, if I did not think he was list¬ ening to the angels singing; and I smiled ot her idea, but told her I thought they did not meas^ ura their songs by tune, in the choir that be was then ready to join."
It waa Sunday morning. I had but just roused myself from long and profound sleep, and turn. ing to ihe window near my bed, bad reached out my hand to throw back the white curiain, when I heard tho conversation which I have given. It was between Joe Willis and the Doctor. Joe was on horseback, having retticned from an early ride over lo the house of which I spoke in my lasi letter, es ihot in which an old man was dy¬ ing; and tho fact that the good old farmer was going to brooder and greener fields than these, waa thus communicated to me.
It somewhat solemnized me, that while I res¬ ted so calmly on this side of the hill, he ahould have gone from the world; that ii the old man could have looked back ae he went away, he would have seen his neighbors sleeping, forget¬ ful of bim, while he was going through such a wondrous change.
I dressed slowly, and came down to breakfast which was now ready, and with which we were admoniehed to hasten, as we must soon aiort for church, over on the hill.
After a breakfast which was unusually etill, even for Sunday morning, the horses were a' the door, before the carriage aitd the long wagon, and wo all went to the Church together, in the good old country fashion.
The wagon haaa spring box, and the seals were cushioned, only the back one had a buffalo robe thrown over it, and six persons, two on a seat, rode comfortably and pleasantly in it.
Willis and myself bad the back seat. Mr. and Mrs. —-, our worthy hosts, had the middle eeai, and Sam drove with Peter, (the blackest and beat of negroes) on the aeai beside him. The ladies were in the carriage, being less accustom¬ ed to long rides in the sunahine than we were.
It was paat fourmilcsandahalftjihe Church up hill end down, yet mostly by s shaded roadi through foreata. The horaea ""jogged on slowly, for they are never hurried on a Sunday; and after something more than an hour's riding, we came up the hill toward the cross roads, where the old Church standg, as it etood when the old man now dead, was a boy. As we approached, oiher wagooa, very tike^ ours, were coming in from all directions; and driving up to the Church door they deposited their loada, and the men took them to the shed, or to the grove of irees back of the Church, and made the horees fast, to await the close of morning service.
We diBmoudted olthe stone step, and entered the gate in front of the Church together, walking through a crowd of men who congregate at the door, and wait the close ofthe first prayer before they enter. The custom is heathenish, but is as reverently observed as is the going to Church at all; and no preaching or lecturing avails to maiH.ii.oai.oo«^-i«.anaTaJre their5aat«;6*foA*-i- the service commonces.
This- asaembly ia tbe weekly interchange of news; and the crops, weather, and genera^ prospects of the season are-freely diacuaaed at the church door. This morning the death of tbe old farmer was the chief topic of conversation, and a gloom fell on all, lor all loved him. It seemed as if death had come into a family, so deep was the feeling manifested by those who now firat heard the news. And in the church I saw many old persons weeping all the morning; and why sbould they not weep t For he woe eighty-three years their companion and friend, and if eighty years of living together, in tbe same world, the same county, .the same congre¬ gation ; if eighty yeors of worship together in the same church, at the same altar,—be not enough to make people iQve one another, I am afraid that an eternity in the same heaven would not suffice.
Blessings, again say I, on the warm country heart. There were tears shed that afternoon in the old church, that honored the old eyes that shed them; and the pastor himself spoke with broken voice and imperfect utterance, when he told ihem that, on Tuesday alternoon, the old man wonld bo brought once again, and for the last lime, into the church, and then carried out to sleep whh the dead of the country in the old hill side grave yard.
The service was simple ond beautiful. The firat prayer was but an invocation of bIesBing» and after it followed the stampede of the men and boys who had congregated at the door.
Then followed a hymn. The sound of that hymn going up peacefully to God, tbe voices of tbe old men. broken but pleasant, ju.iniiig in the song of praise; the pleasant voices (oui of time and out of tune, but in unison of heart) of the old ladies, here and there about the church, the oc- casionol high note ol an unpraciieed child, the olear rich melody ofa bird-like voice that ia al¬ ways heard somewhere in every country congre* gaiion,—all these sounds are eo fGimiliar and so holy lo us, that there is no place on earth known to ua so near lo heaven, as a seat in a country church on such a morning.
" Joe Willis, my friend," said I, as we drove homeward, " lell me frankly what you thought this morning, when the choir came near breaking down.?" 1 had seen him smile a Bort of a triumphant smile, and it puzzled me.
"I will tell you. I remembered a Sunday j morning in the long gone years, and a church not altogether unlike this in which we have been . this morning. And I remembered jubi such a morning, when the air was full of heaven. And. moreover, I remembered one day when the pris- ceptor was absent, and wa had a poor aubstitute, how the congregation were singing a psalin, and they broke down in tbe midst of it just as to-day. Shalt I forgex it, think you 1 As every voice grew faint, and hesitated and expired in the mid¬ dle of the line, one clear and rapturous voice took up the song, and swept through the glorions words of promise and hope, with a triumph that thrilled my whole soul; and one by one joined her, iintil the whole congregation broke ont in ihe sublime anthem ;—only hor voice, clear rich and heavenly, led them all, and when the psalm was finished, I heard that voice floatieg away into the deep far sky. It went before her unto God. Pure as her own-soul, which I some • times think was won to heaven by tbe retoraing melody of her own songs! There ia no angel there with holier voice. I heard it thia mora- i ing."
There is a memory of the aid church in. which we worshippped yesterday, connected witb the old man i who will be buried to.-morrow that seemed to me very touching when I heard it related last ntght* Sixty years ago, there was a voice in the choir that thrilled his heart every Sunday morning, so Uiat he listened to it more than to the words of the song. He was a stout, atrong man, and yet he was a child in the prea- ence of that conntry maiden, and he loved her with exceeding love. He serred her father, not ao long as Jacob for Leah, yet with no less de¬ votion, and for awhile with bo more success.-^ One day the'farmer'a family had gone to visit a friend, some ten milea distant, and not having room in theirwagon, they had relumed leavihsp Lucy to be aent for;; And toward evening-, the old man, the'yodhg''maii. t'ahould say-^how strange this t^e oi hijj youth seema lo me who have alwaye known him jaspld-—the yonng man was aent for. her,' fthdhaving taken 'her into the wagon with hun, atartedtdretarh.' _ Five miles ofthe road wereaecomplish^drWhan thetfloom of a tempoireiuTOnQde^ end k

He had never told her of his love, and now wasafair opportunity. In the wild fiaahes of the lightning,' ihe little Chtirelt gleamed ont- on the vallies thai it overiosked^like a l^lent, calin mother, to keep aUnafe; in the war ofthe ele-' ments. No one who canghl.sight -of it that night, dreamed that U-was occnpied; but.there were.t.wo hearts in it that cpmmenced to beat in unison that-night, at thcf altar-ivhete they pledg¬ ed their love to. each.p^er." They were not afraid, not terrified, though the tempest was fearful, and.though every wmdow gleamed lu¬ ridly ili the constant flaahes ofthe lightning.—r With arms folded arottnd eaeh other, they knelt at the altar of theoldehurch, and spoke to each fither of the future. The storm passed on, and they knelt there still. It was a holy night, to which in after years their aonls recurred with never-ceasing pleasure.  .   .    ¦
Yea—Booer—laugh, blaspheme that holy love, J poor miserable dog of tbe world's whipping, who have never felt the blesaediiesB of pare, warm,! woman love, but know that lor sixty years of Sshbaibs that that man woaibi^ed God at that same altar, he never forgot Itfiethlght, npr failed to thank God fo^t^ai tempest.   ^
And, to morrow; when they carry him into the chnrchagain, and lay him down prone al the altar foot, whereby he knelt with the maiden he loved so long ago, if histoid bones revive not at the blessed touch, if hie oUhean thriU sot with the remembered love, if his old cheek grow not warm with the balmy breath, if his old eyes smile not with the old, old love, if he bis there still, calm, dead, nowI tell you there is en altar, a Cburob, aland, where they two will be kneeling together to-morrow, where their eyes^ will be radiant with love, where their lips .will be elo¬ quent with rapturouff. song!

A Hooaier in aeanh of Jmtioa-
»I T.  B. THORM.
About one hundred end twenty miles from New Orleens, reposes, in all rural heppiness, one of the ptessantest little towns in the south, that reflects itself in the mystericus waters of the Mississippi.
Tothe exireme right ofthe town, looking at It fromthe river, may bs seen a comfortable Ipoking building, aurrounded^byC hina trees; just such a place as sentimental missee dreim of when they think of •'aettling in the world."
The little "suburban bandbox," however is not occupied by the airs ot love, nor the airs of¬ the lute, hut by a strong limb of the law, a gnar¬ led one, too, who knoeklea down to business, and digs out ofthe "uncertainties of his profes¬ sion," decisions and reasons, and causes and effects, no where to be met with, except inthe science, called par excellence, the "perfection of human reoBon."
Around the interior walls of tbia romantic looking place may bo found an extensive library where all tbe "statutes," from Moses' time down to the present day, are ranged side by aide; in thoae muaty books tbe owner revels day ond night, digesting "digests," and growing the while sallow with indigestion.
On the eveDing.;of a fine summer's doy, tbe aage lawyer mighl have been seen walled in with books and mannscripis, his eyes full Of thought, and hie bald, high forehead sparkling with the rays ofthe setting sun, as if his gentua was making itself visible to the senses ; page after page he searched, rusty parchments were scanned, on expression of care and anxiety inden ted itself on the stern features ofbis. face, and with a sigh of despair he desisted from his labors uttering aloud hia feelings, that he feared his case waa a hopeless one.
Then he renewed ogain his mental labor with tenfold vigor, making the very silence with which he pursued his thoughts omenous, as if a spirit were in his ppptti^ce. -^«-a^i^^of A«"Iia^rs'Cfflce'opened, ihe^ pressed forward the-fcii,,—»£«.«* .i . „on. . perfect apeciroen ofphyaical power and endu¬ rance of a wealern flalboatman.   The   lawyer heeded not his presence, and started aa if from a dream, as the harsh tones of inquiry grated upon hifl ear. "'Does a 'Sqairelive here"?" "They call meeo," was the reply, as soon as he had recovered from bis astonishment.
"Well, 'Squire,'' continued thejntruder, "^ have got a case for you, and I want jestess, if i costs the best load of produce that eror come from In di-ana." Tbe mon of law asked what wod the difficulty, "It is this, 'Squire i I em bound for Orleans. and put in here for cofihe and other tittle fixins ; a chap witb a face whiskered up like a prarirte dog, saya, says he—
"Stranger, I see you've got cocks on board of your boat; bring one ashore, and I'll pit one against him that will lick his lega'offin leia time than you can gaff him."        .       *
"Well, 'Squire, I never l^ke a dar. Says I, "Stranger, I'm thor at wunco ;" and in twenty ' minutes tha cocks wore on the levee, like parfect saints,'
"Wo chucked them together, and my bird, •Squire—now mind 'Squire—my bird never fitruck a lick, not a single blow, but tuck to his heels and run; end-by thunder, throw up bis feed—sctewally vomited. The stakeholder gave up the money again me, and now'I want jestess; as sure as frogs, my bird was physicked, or he'd tiood up to hia business like a wild cat.
The lawyer heard thestory with patience, but flatly refused to bave atiything to do with the matter.
"Perhaps," said the boatman, drawing outa corpulent pocket book,"'perhaps yon think I can't pay; heres the money, help youreelf;—give me ths jestess, and draw on my pone Uke an ox team.
To the astonishment oftho flalboatman, the lawyer still refused; but, unlike many of bia profession, he gave hia would be client, without charge, some general advice about going on board his host, shoving off for New Orleans, and abandoning his case altogether.
The flalboatman stared with profound aston- iBhment, and asked the lawyer "If he was a euro enough 'Squire."
Receiving an affirmative reply, he preeaed ev. ery argument he could use to have htm under¬ take his case and get him"jestess;" but when he found that bia efforts were unavailing, be quietly seated himselt tor the first time, put hi' hat aside, crossed bis legs, and then looking up to the ceiling with an expreMlpn of vary great patience he reqnested the'Sqalre'. to read to him the Louifliana lawa en cook fighting.*'
Theiawyer said he didnot know ofa single statue in the State upon the atibjcot. The boat¬ man started np as if hehad been shot exclaim^' ing—
"No laws in the State on cock fighting! No, no,'Sqnire, yon can't possum me; give us ibe law.
The refusal again followed; the astonishment ofthe boatman increased; and throwing.him¬ self into a mock heroic attitude, he waved hia long fingers aronnd tbe aides ofthe room, and asked—
. "What are all them thar books about V "All about the law.»'
"Well then,'Squire,am I to nnderatand that not one of them thar hooks contain a aingle Idw on cock fighting?" "You are."
"And Squire, am I to nndantand that thar ain't no laws in Louisiana on enck fishting f* "Yoa are."
"And I am to DDderstand 4h8C yon oall your self a 'Squire, and tbat yoa doh'l know anything about cock fighting v* "You are.".
Theastonwhmempfihe boatmen at this re-- ply. for B moment was unboonded, and then sud¬ denly ceased; the awo with ^fhitOi he looked npon the 'Sqnirealao ceased, and "resainiug bia natnfally awkward end familiu carriage, he took aphis hat, and walking .tothe door/wiih a broad grin of stipreme contempt in his faee, he observed— '
"Thata'fiqioire who did not knost'the laws of cock fighting, in his opinion, waa distuiotly an infernal chnckel -headed old fool.'»       '

The reporter of the San Frionciaco News fur* nnhee that paper with the following report of a ¦pebchniadeby a Celifaroia Anctiopeer: ? ". I*8dieB and gentlemen, I now have the hon- or-oCpntting up a fine pocket handkerchief; a yard wide, Biyard long, and almoat a yard thick • onefaslf cbttoni'and t'other half cotton, too; .toaatifally.primed with atara aiid stripes on one ilije,aiid the.stripeeatid stars on t'other; it will wipe dufltfrom tbe eyes so coinplcitely, aa tobe death 10 demagogues, and make politics as bod a business as printing papers; its dark color will enable it to hide dirt and never need washing; going at one dollar? twenty-five centsf one bit? Nobody wants it f Oh ! thank youi air f
'VNexi, gentlemen, (for the ladies won't be permitted to bid on this article,) is a real, simon pure, tempered, highly polished, keen-edged Sheffield razor; branspankin new, never be¬ fore opened to the sun-light, moou'light, slar- light, day-light, or gas-hght; sharp eiiough to shave a lawyer, or-cut a disagreeable^ acquain¬ tance, or poor relation, handle a buck-born; wjth all tbe rivets bnt the two at the ends, of pure gold: who will give two dollars; one dollar t half a dollar ? Why, ye long bearded, dirty faoed reprobates, with not room enough on your phiz- zea for a Chiness woman to kiss, I'm ofi'ring you a bargain at half a dollar! Well, I will throw in.tbis strap at a half dollar l-^razor and atrap—a recent patent; two rubs upon it will sharpen tho city attorney; all for lour bits; and a piece of soap, sweeter than roses; lathers bet¬ ter than a school master; and strong enough to wash out all the siaina from a California politi cvm'a connlonance, all for fonr bits!—why, you have Pnly tp put this razor, atrop, and soap, un¬ der yonr pillow at night, to wake op in the morning clean shaved; won't any body give two bits then, fbr the lot ? I knew I would aell »em.
" Next, ladies and gentlemen, I offer three pair eocka, hose, stocking or balf hose, just as yoa'Jre a mind to call thera. Knit by a machine mado on purpose, out of cotton wool; tbe man that buys these will be enabled to walk till he gels tuad; and, provided his boots are high enough, need'nt have any corns; the lege are as long as bills against the corporation, and as thick aa the heads of ihe members of the Le* gislature ; who wants 'em at one balf dollar 7^— thankee, medam, dollar 1
" Next, I offer you a pair of boots; made es- peelally for San Francisco, with beeln long enough to raise a man u^i to the Hoadley grades and nails to iuBure against being carried off by a land slide ; legs wide enoogh to carry two re volvers and bowie knife, and the uppers of the very best horse leather. A man in these boots con move about as easy os the State Capital; who ssys twenty dollars f All (ho tax payers oug}it to buy o pair, to kick the Council with ; everybody ought to have a pair, to kick ihe La. giBlature with—and they will be found of assis¬ tance in kicking the bucket, especially if aome- body should kick at being kicked—ten dollars for legs,, uppers, and soles! while souls, and miserable souls at that, ore bringing twenty thousand dollars in Sacramento! ten dollars! ten dollars!—gone at ten dollars!
" Next is something that you ought to have, gentlemen ; a lot of good gallowses—sometimee called suspenders. I know that some of yoa will, after a while, be furniahed at the State's expense, but yon can't tell which one, ao buy where they're cheap; all that deserve hanging are not supplied a gallows, if so, there would be nobody to make laws, condemn crimiiialB.or hang cutpritB, until a new election; made o^ pure gum elastic—stretch like a judge's con science—and last as long as a California oflice holder will eteal; buckles of pure iron, and warranted to hold bo tight that no man's wife ean rob him of the breeches ; are, in short, as strong, as good, as perfect, as effectual, and as bonajidees the ordinance against Chinese shop, on Dupont atreet—gone at twenty-five cents."
HoKiHT,—In point of economy, aa human food, one buahel of beans or hominy is eqal to ten of potatoes. Hominy, too, is a- dish almost as universally liked as potatoes, and at the South about as freely eoien, while at the North it is sel- dom seen. In fact it is an unknown food, except to a fewpersona in cities. By hominy, we do nbt mean a sort of coarse meol. but grainrf-oi

has been removed, by moiatoning and pounding in 0 wooden mortar, leaving the grains almost whole, and composed of little: else but starch. It has often been said that not one cook in ten knows bow to boil a potato. We may odd an¬ other cipher when speaking of the very simple procees of cooking hominy. We give the for¬ mula from our own ezperiece and instructions received ina land where •'hog and hominy'' ore well understood. Wash slightly in cold water, and soak twelve hours in tepid, soft water; then boil slowly from threo to six hours in tbe same water, with plenty more added from time to time, with great care to prevent burning.— Do not salt while cooking, a^iliat or hard water will harden the corn. So it will peas or bfans, green or dry, and rice also. When done, add butter and salt; or a better way is to let each season to suit the uste. It maybe eaten with meat in lieu of vegetable, or with sugar or syr¬ up. It IS good hot or cold,and the more frequent¬ ly it is warmed over, like the old-fashioned pot of
"Bean.potrldge hot, or bean-porridge cold, Bean-porridgo host at nine daja old,"
So is hominy—it is good always, ond very wholesome, and like tomatoes, only requires to be eaten once or twice to fix the taste in ita la¬ vor.—Journal of Health.
Bbup.—The Rhode Island Society for the promotion of Industry, gave thefirst premium on domestic bread to Mrs. Hiram Hill, of Prov¬ idence. The following is Mrs. Hill's recipe for making the bread exhibited by heri
For two loaves of theordinory aizp take two potatoes, pare tbem, elica very thin, and boil quiok until quite poft, then maah to a fine pulp, aad add, little by little two qts. of boiling wa¬ ter, stirring until a starch is formed; let this cool, aud then add one third ofa cup of yeast.— Thie forms the " sponge," which should remain in a moderately warm place for ten or twelve hours, or "over night,"., tiniil it becomes very light and frothy, even if a:-rittte sour is no son- sequence. When the " ¦ponge" is ready, sdd fiour. and work it in until you have formed a stiff, firm mass. The longer and more firmly this is knesded, the better the bread.
Let the kneaded moea remain say from a half to three^'quariers of an hour lorifae. then divide into pane, where it abould remain say fifteen minutes, care being taken that it doea hot rise too much and crack, ihen pdt the loaves into a quick oven and bake, ssy three quarters of an hour. If the oven is not hot enough the bread will rise and crack, if too hot the surface will harden too rapily and confined iho loaf.

" We have known Mr. Thomas for twelve years. Our acquaintance commenced withthe great equiuoxial etorm which blew down our grandfather's born. At this time he wae a young man in the prime of life, and we think raised the best marrowfat peas we ever eat. He was a good mathematician,-kind to the poor and troubled with fits. In all the relations of a hus¬ band, father, ancle, and trustee of common lands, he has followed tho direct standard of du¬ ty. Mr. Thomas is at this time forty three years of age, sUghtljr marked with the amall pox, OQ estimable citizen, a church member, and a man of known integrity, for ten yeara.— And as to sheep-stealing, that he would have done it if he conld get an opportunity, is without foondationin point of fact. Mr. T. could have stolen par lead pencil several times but he didn't do it." ^

The injurious consequences so frcqaently flow¬ ing froiri thie practice do not aeem to aecuro any very serious attention^ else the foolish practice would be less common than it is.   It is a modern- ate estimate that  more than & half of those 'eft rich by their parents bave become ruined and bankrupt both in business and in moral char¬ acter.
