their silence by murdering them. Besides,
might not the girl be the robber's accom.
plica? Several slight causes of suspicion
occurred to her at once, and all these re
flections passed through her mind in less
time than we tako to write them. She de
cided at once what she would do, which
was to send the girl out of the room.

said she, without betraying her alarm by

"I ought to have remembered to have got

We may imagine bow much inclination

he left it and resumed her wat by the fire.
She did not dare leave the room :. it would
arouse the suspicions of the robber, and of

could not bear Jtho thought of leaving
her child, even if it was to purchase her

him with friendly violence to yield to their
invitations to wait till morning. It is atri

we have alluded to, appears to be more and
more probable. Alter two hours of such
agony, the unhappy lady, whose courage
had been kept by the hope of final rescue,
feels her strength and hope foil her. She
soon hears a noise under the window, and
istens doubtfully. 11ns time she is not
mistaken. 1 The heavy out door. creaks on
the hmges, and shuts with clamor; a well
known step is heard on the stairs, and a
man enters a tall, stout man It is he, it
is he I At that moment, if be had been
the worst of husbunds he would have been
perfection in his wife's eyes. He had only
taken off his wet cloak and put away his
pistols, and delighted at seeing what he

brace his wife. She elapsed him, convul
sivoly.but in a moment recovering her self
possession, put her fingers on her lips, and

If M. Aubrey had wanted presence of
mind, he would not have deserved to be the
husband of such a woman. He made a
light gesture to show that he understood
her, and said aloud, " Excuse nW, my dear,

drags by the fee into, the middle of the
room a man of most ill-favored aspect,
crouching low to avoid the pistol which was
held within an inch of his head. -He is
lie eoDJcssed that the girl was his accom
plice, and told him M. Aubrey would bring
large sum borne at night, nothing re
mains now but to give them over to the au
thorities. Madame Aubrey asked her hus
band to pardon them, but tho voice of duty
is larger than that of pity. When Aubrey
heard from his wife all she had gone through,
he could only say, " who .would Jhave

of her courage, she was attacked that night
with a violent nervous -fever . and did . .not

pwards of 40,000 distinct species or

the number of new species which have in

that the entire number, or any thing ap-

those best skilled in plants. The vast num-
ber of flowers producing vegetable is vari

this respect the usual estimate is.that there

were derived from this employment
The respectability of his character, and

The following anecdote is told respecting

sent down an officer to talk with the jailor
on the subject, and in order to find him out

night. Mr. Bunyan was at home but so
restless that he could no: sleep ; he there.

Hope. We cut the following beautiful
and graphic description of hope and its uses
from the Detroit Spirit of T'O: -
Hope is the great mainspring of virtue.
It gives' action to all animate existence. It
is the bread which feeds ambition, the incen
tive to perseverance, the compeer to virtue,
the shield to Christianity', and the only so
lace to death. If itis blighted, the pilgrim
ages of life is like a troubled sea we float
down its dark stream like the tost mariner
on the billowy deck. Aided py its cheering
hpm the immortal mina lobks beyond
time and anticipates the beauty of another
and happier existence. The beauty of the
rainbow vanishes in the storm, the meteor's
flush is but a moment, be guttering gems
of heaven will one day go out ; the sun him
self be extinguished, but the star of Hope
shines bcaotifur forever. L

Thomas Hardy bad been fairly beaten off

that no impression could be made on tlie

the Commodore withdrew his squadron
from their inglorious attack, and moving
up Fisher's Island Sound with bis whole
force, anchored off tOro!n Long Point,"
nearly opposite tho mouth of Mystic river.
and within about a milo of tlie shore.
Gen. Isham, who commanded the force
which had been collected, near Stonington
during tne four days bombardment, immc
diately on hearing that the enemy had an
chored near the mouth "of a river where a
arse amount of property Waa exposed, and
where a defenceless population would be
subjected to the incursions of the enemy,
ordered tho 8th regiment then under the
command of Col. Belcher, to proceed forth
ith from their encampment near stoning
ton, and take a position' at tho mouth of the
Mystic river. The first battalion, consist
ing of five companies, arrived at Mystic
soon after the enemy had anchored. It was
commanded by a gentleman who has since
received testimonies of tbe regard and con
fidence of bis fellow-citizens. Immediate
ly after his arrival at the point to which he
had been ordered, be met with Captain
Simeon Haley and Capt Burrows, the
former of whom had been one of that little
bond who gained immortal honor in defend,
ing tho battery at Stoniugton, and who will
always be kept in grateful remembrance
by such of his fellow-citizens as remember
the war and its incidentstbeTlatTeTx'e be
lieve also to have been oneof that brave
little company ; but of this we are not as
sured. These two gentlemen made an ar
rangement with the Commander of the de
tachment, which resulted in one of the most"
brilliant little affairs of tho war. 7
In order that the arrangement may be
understood by the reader of the present
day, it is necessary to state that during the
period while the British fleet infested the
waters of tlie Sound, all communication by
means of regular coasters was cut off, and
that flour, pork, and other heavy articles
of necessity were conveyed from place to
place along the shore, by means of a kind of
craft called " Vineyard Boats." loose
Were generally very fast sailers were
sharp at both ends like a .whale-boat, with
a great breadth of beam, enabling them to
carry about 25 barrels burthen they were
generally navigated by two men only, and
of course for safety depended on their speed

from time to time during the war, with car-
goes which were very acceptable to the
blockading squadron.
Captains Haley and Burrows had such
a boat in readiness; and it was immediately
arranged between them and the Major com
manding the detachment, that they should
place on board their boat so much" ballast
as should give her tbe appearance of being
deeply laden, and proceed out from the
mouth of the river, as if bound westward ;

and. the boat having started, Captain John
Barber, a brother of the commandant of
the detachment, who had by this time com
municated the plan to Col. Belcher, his com
manding officer, proceeded With thirty vol
unteers down towards the place agreed up
on ; .keeping the movements of his little
band concealed from the enemy, by march
ing through such woods and cornfields as
could be intcqwsed between bis paTtyand
the fleet, which was little more than a mile
from the shore. The ruse succeeded e
actlyas designed. AftcLpassinff out f
the river, Captains Haley and Burrows
kept close in shore, and made all sail to
tbe westward, as if anxious to escape ob
servation ; but , as they expected,' before
they passed Avery's point, a loug black
row-galley, shot out from the lee of one 61
the hips and pulled for them witbevejy
assurance of getting a prize our friends
instantly hauled their wind, and seemed to
make every effort to get back into Mystic'
river, but before they could reach i, they
were cut off by the barge, and were' appa
rently forced to beach 'heir boat, which
they were careful to do at a spot which
Capt Barber had indicated by setting up a
little birchen wand over the brow of a sand
ridge. Scarcely, had our two friends en
sconced themselves behind the ridge, and
the keel of the British , barge grated hard
on the shore in hot pursuit, before thirty
muskets levelled at the surprised crew, and
before it could be prevented by their com
mander, one division had fired. Of sixteen
British, one fell dead pierced by seven bul
lets; two were badly wounded, and the oth
er thirteen, with the exception of their
commander, a lieutenant or sailing mas
ter, were floundering in tbe water into
which they threw themselves to avoid a fire
which came upon them so unexpectedly.
Tbe moment tbe catastrophe was discover
ed from the squadron, boats fully manned,
were seen to put offjo the rescue ; but,
before they could arrive to the help of their
unfortunate comrades, tbe little company
of militiamen had manned tho two boats,
and, with the killed and wounded, bad, un

the beach by scores, to witness and assist

It gives us pleasure to lay before our rca
ders the following interesting mul graphic
account, given by an olticcr of our army
who was present, of a Russian military re
view. '
" Four days of our time in' Russia were
spent at the camp of Krasnoc Sclo, six
teen miles from St Petersburg. Ou our
arrival we were invited to ,assisjfthe ma
noeuvers which would takeplace on the
three following days. Accordingly, next
morning we were presented to his Imperi

batteries being of horse artillery, and two
of those being of twelve pounder guns, and
twenty four howitzers, and drawn by eight

field train was indeed grand and the effect
with round canister and shells, was destruc
tive to tho targets, which we examined at
the closef the manoeuvcrs.
" The next day was a cavalry lav7in-

amounting to fifteen thousand men, four
regiments of cuirassiers, ourof jdiagobns;

false lights which meteors hold out to draw
the tumbling ships upon tbe rocks. .They
lure us on with music and the pattering of
tiny feet and jewelled fingers and false
smiles and false hearts ; and when the vic
tim is caught, like the vicled prophet, they'
display tlieir awful hidcousness. No, no !
Love is found in a gentle heart It dwells"
not amid the riots of pleasure, it dies in tho
glare of splendor and cannot live in a heart
devoted to dress and weak follies ; is mora
matured in quietness than loud applause or
the world's praise. Give me tlie sharply
defined feelings of a young and timid girl,
and I leave you the professions of the gaudy
coquette. Give me the beaming glances of
a liquid eye, and I yield the -bright and
flashing biaze oftltc proud beauty to others.

The Alfie Hobx. The Alpine Horn
is an instrument constructed with tho bark
of the cherry tree, and which, UkC a speak
ing trumpet, is usjmi to convey sounds to a
great distance. When the last rays of' the '
sun gild tlie summit of the Alps, the shep
herd whoklwclls highest on those mountains
fakes his aiorn and cries aloud, ' Praised
be the Lord!" As soon as j he is heard,
tlie neighboring shepherds leave tlieir huts
reneatintr these words. Tbe sounds Inst

tains and grottos of tlie rocks repeat Ian
name of God! How solemn tlie scene !
Imagination cannot picture to itself any
tiling more sublime. The profound sile'icu
that succeeds the sight of those stupen
dous mountains upon which the vault of
heaven seems to rest every thing excites
the mind to enthusiasm. In. the mean while
tbe shepherds bend their knees and pray
in open air, and soon after, retire to their
huts to enjoy the repose of innocence. .

Pobcy is a near neighbor to cheating ;

It is a poor thing indeed to have religion
