A farmer's daughter, I will call Mary Miller, was permitted to take a walk in the fields one Saturday evening. Sho' had been to school all the week, and this privi. lege delighted her very much. She soon kit the dusty road, and rambled from hil lock, to hillock gathering the flowers which pleased ber fancy. Sometimes she watch, ed the glassy brook, and listened to the merry birds. , Sometimes she bounded after the gay" butterfly, , and then ran., to pick some flower whose gnudy colors attracted her eye. In short wherever her light heart prompted, her nimble feet carried her, r- She was near the road-side, when ahe saw a clittenne coach pass slowly by. There was no one in it but a little girl about Mary's age. A driver sat in front, guiding the sleek horses, which trotted in their rich harnesses. When, the girl wished to stop, he instantly cliecked themwhenshe wished to go forward , they started at his word. A footman was on -hiajstand' behind. If the little girl saw a ''flower Tn i the ficld7br by the road side, she had only to speak and the carriage stopped while the footman ran to fetch it In short she seemed to have no wish uncrratificd. As Marv looked unon Wcoach.TicrtcaWiu lightness, and her spirits their gaiety, and her face its smiles She; walked gloomily I along, and with sour looks and pouting hps, she entered her mother's humble dwelling. "Have you not had a delightful walk, mv child I" said she. - ., ' 'lh nrt anirl Manr iuH oh if n T I . . . . . -1 came along in ber carriage, and when I saw how happy she appeared, with her coachman and footman to wait j upon her, and remembered that I was a "poor girl, and must always go afoot and wait upon myself, I could hardly help crying. If she wanted any thing, she had only to speak, or point to it, and the footman in. stantly brought it to her. . But when I saw something I wanted, if it was ever so far off", I must go and get it myself. I don't mean to walk out by that road any more." Her fretful voice was scarcely hushed, when Mrs. Parks came in. " How did your daughter enjoy her ride this afternoon 1". said Mrs." Miller, when her wealthy guest had thrown herself lan guidly upon an uncushioned chair. Here the reader should know that Helen was lameTsothat she had notrwalkedfbr several years. .. , ' " She would haye enjoyed it pretty well," said the lady in a tone of condescension, "but just as she came to where she had the finest prospect, she saw" a little girl skip, ping about the fields; She watched her nappy movements as she ran wherever her fancy led her, and when she remembered that she could never enjoy herself thus, she said she could scarcely , restrain her tears." "You cannot "think said she " how sad it was to feel that I must be lifted Into the carriage whenever I wish" to take the air ; and when I see a pretty flower, I can never pick it myself, but .must wait till some one who works for money, can go and fetch it to me." " I watched the hap. py girl," said she, "for a few minutes, as she danced so gaily among the birds and flowers, and then ordered the footman to bring rheli few daises which grew by the road side; but I soon threw them away," she added ; for I could not bear to look at them. She directed the coachman to drive home, that her feelings might no longer be aggravated by the sighfof pleasure which she could not share. When the footman brought her in, and placed her carefully upon the sofa, she laid her, face upon my lap, and wept profusely. " Mother," said she; " I will never- ride out, by those fields again." ,-.

Singular case of Somnambulism. A man, very respectable in his station as a working jeweller, lived with an only child, a daughter, in quiet and comfort, putting aside all his earnings beyond that which was applied to household expense, in order to supply her cot when she would bo mar- ried to a man in her own station : but for some lenjgth of time, he had observed that he was robbed, that articles entrusted to him to alter; that gOkl given toJiinT fof tlie purpose of rnanufactureing into jewel- jery, vanished betweenthe night and the morning The poor jnan. borelhiafor some months; but alter having disbursed all that which he had laid aside for his daughter's portion, in replacing articles of which he became convinced that child had robbed him, he steeled his heart against all her protestation of innocence, and diove her from his presence. On the following day he again missed an object of value, which she could not have purloined. 1 he second night he broke a wine glass on the table of his bed-room, and having; gathered the large fragments . retired to hed. To ward daybreak he woke up .tormented by a pain in his foot, when he found he had in it apiece of broken ghfss. This proved that he must have been standing upon the table, he then remounted it. and was con victed that he was himself a sleep-walker, and that be had judged his child unjustly as he found hid behind a cornice in the roof, just above the table, all the jewels and trink ets which he had lost It is needless to add with what affection be again sought his child, or with what tenderness he restored her to that place in his bosom which she bad never forfeited.

M, A Mother's love. While on an excur sion among the islands of Penobscot Bay, during the. geological survey of 1837, we passed, in the (Jastma revenue cutter, over the spot where the ill-fated steamer Royal Tar was burned a year or two before. It will be recollected that it was the Castine cutter under the command of Cant Dyer that came to the relief of tlie passt.ngcr of the Royal Tar. Among other incidents of the melancholy day, Capt Dyer related to me the following , There was among others, a young moth. cr with a child at her breast. As sue was standing on the deck, the elephant, for it will be recollcted there was a caravan on board, maddened with fright and pain, struck the child, while clasped at its moth er's bosom uch-a blow; as to sever the greater part of its head'from the body. The sailors wrenched the. mutilated babe from its mother's armsj andthrew it into the sea and thrust the mother irita the boat. For many days afterwards the poor mother was frantic, constantly calling for her child. To appeisehcr, the family in whose care she Was, made an image oi a child out pi a pillow and some children's clothes. This in her bewildered state,4 the mother Would rock, and tend, and sing lullaby to, and talk to, as if it had been her owirdear babe, until she recovered from the derangement brc"UghiUmJby her sufferings, and awoke to the full consciousness of "the bereavemeinV Weslqan Journal. - ' -?H Yocng Sucxebs.

POLITICS OF THE DAY. From th Madiaonian, VAN BURENfSM RESPONDED TO BY THE BRITISH BANKERS. Attention Working Classes!! ' Mr. Buchanan's speech on the Sub-Trca-8ury seems to have been read and appre ciatcd by the Bankers in England. It will be recollected that Mr. Buchanan "cited the following cases : "It was but the other day I saw an ex. tract from an English paper, w hich stated that whilst the cutlery manufactured in, Germany was equal in quality to the Eng. lish, it was so reduced in price that the lat. ter would have to abandon the manufacture altogether." p. 14. It has wen repeatedly shown that the cause of this low price of tho German ware, was that tlie cost of production was less labor being but about seven fence a'day. - . . ; . ,J. Again, Mr. Buchanan said ! 2. " In Germany, where the currency is purely metallic, and the cost of every thing is reduced to a hard money ttandnrd, a piece of broabcloth can be manufactured for fif ty dollars, the manufacture of which, in our country, from the expansion of our paper currency would cost one hundred dollars.'!. .. . -Well, again, wages are low, living is cheap and poor, farmers get less than ours for their wool, and active capital is more abundantjn Germany Aanhere.- Ameri can States frequently go to Holland to bor row money to establish fixtures here. But, said Mr. Buchanan i " reduce our nominal to the real standard of prices throughout the world, and you cover, our country with trfesstngs aiidbenents;11- .", Well, the method of doing this was the th " requiring specie in all receipts and expenditures of the Government,'' which would diminish imports, lock surpluses, if any, in the vaults of the depositaries, cramp the banks, diminish the currency, reduce labor and prices to tho Standard of prices in hard money countries. To say nothing of other effects, one would be tho accom plishment of that condition for the laboring man, who, in Saxony, with his loom, and his wife and daughters to assist him, could not in 1831 possibly earn overdone dollar per week. That, we should think , was a reduction of wages down to the lowest point of human sustenance, affording a clue tcr the plan by which Mr. Buchanan would have us compete with foreign coun tries. . - ' " ' According to the London Bankers' cir- - cular of June lost, brought out by the Great Western, Mr. Van Burcn's policy has done something towards accomplishing the o.b- ject desired by Mr. BiichfrnaflTauof we sup. pose of course, by all. the advocates or the Sub-Treasury scheme which Mr. Van Bu ren has concocted out of the joint wisdom of twenty-two foreign governments. The London Bankers have proclaimed that " the price of manufacturing labor in the United States has fallen more than one. third from the scale of 1830-7," and as " capitalists lower profits on stock when laborersink thcirwages7a some kinds of American cotton goods have undersold sim ilar goods made imLancashire. The same is said of " hatchets" made in the U. S.- But- we cannot undersell the British in oilier articlesjbecause as the Bankers af firm, taking Mr. Buchanan's argument, wages in the U Sr;JjAye not y been- .. pressed down jo THffojTfts 007' :thelh-fi ftia&nccV't Locofoco-Fedcralists, . re-echoed by thcix British friends; viz : that America can nev. er be prosperous until laborers and their families can work from fifty cents to one I dollar per week or, until poor men can work all day for a sheep's head and pluck, and sleep under a cart at night We call tho attention 1t tho working classes pf-the U-Stelie following ex tract: i v-' ' From the Bankers' Circular, London, Juno 26. - There are, however, other circumstan ces arising out of the 'pcrplclfed monetary affairs Of b -litw1 Stntra-whirh tha Hrrt.-r: ish manufacturers should consider .however disagreeable it may be to us to be the means of calling their attention to them. The price of manufacturing labor in the U. States has fallen, we believe, more Uian one4nird from the scale of 1836-7. Ons consequence of tlu is tc reduce the cost of production', for capitalists lower profits on stock, when laborers sink their wages, we are credi- , bly informed that some kind of cotton goods manufactured in the Northern States of the Republic can be brought to England, pay the import duties and other charges, and be sold in the Manchester market at ten per cent under the present low prices of similar goods made in Lancashire. . From the samo authority we learn that hatchets made in the United State can bo sold in Birmingham, so as to pay a much higher profit to the importers than the 'piece-goods from the same country would afford when sold in Manchester. We havo heard of nothing which threatens to en trench upon the woollen and worsted, silk, pottery i-s linen and hosiery branches uf British manufactures; but the foregoing facts we consider to be ominous and unto, ward indications of forthcoming rivalry which cannot fail, in the course of a brief space of time, to affect some of the mog flouninngtsf oar manufacturing jntertsuj.. t. ,We believtitffie Cftryperjavj of se-" t-ere prestu?P the fattsrics- of th9 United M m y ; It f.h i ! 4 .
