PADDY WELCn, Mr. Editor : Original chtmctere are sometime sent into the world ones in a century, as if for the special purpose of shedding an occasional lustre, da our fallen planftt to beautifgr ant adorn the earth. Among the fllu8tnou8geniuaes of this des- think I hear it sneerinirlir asked Vyfnanv. We have dipped into Iloinan history, intQ the annals and archives ol Lgypt, the Unr thageniuns, the Greeks, and even into Scy thian and Scandinavian literature, down to Luropean history of modern d ay crossed the itilantic, searched the records of Mexi co and Peru. " Rich Mexico ve had psssod thro' " And sacked the annatt of Peru," And ended with a thorough examination of the hiHtory of these Untied States, both be fore and Bince the Revolution, without be ing" able to satisfy our. inquiries. And so you have found nothing at all, at all in your investigations touching Paddy Welch? I pity yuur ignoruncc, that's all, and shall proceed forthwith to enlighten your under standings. It was in the month; of July, near half a century ago, u report got circulated about town that a ship, full of passengers, was stranded on Bald Head beach, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Douts aud light ers were immediately despatched to tfiol relief, which soon returned, freighted wm! the most forlorn crew that ever greeted tn eyesight. It appeared it was a passenger ship from Ireland, bound to' New York, which had encountered a-storm at sea, and was drifted and driven ashore on the beach near the mouth of the Cap Fear. Almost naked, half starved, and bait drowned, the remnant of tho passengers, for many had expired before fliey reached shore, present ed a most awfurand forlorn appearance. n'he hospitable inhabitants (for Wi Wilmington to its everlastin honor be k said, has ever given evidences or more aisinferesiea acts of benevolence and charity, than any place to its size, eft the face of the glob,) re ceivedthe helpless immigrants and dispo sed of item in eocafortabte quarters, ad- 4enttMte40 lUsin ttecMsitieaiMVU 4bet could be aDle to cnaKr some shin for tnern seftes. Kind hearted souls I You have ever been "read j to perform charitable acts, and many and ofrs the time you haTe been called upon for similar acts of benincence, and which you have ever discharged with christinn promptness and zeal, pleasant in the eyes of our heavenly father, who has held up to us in the gospel, the beacon light of the good Samaritan, and taught us to lovo our neighbor as ourselves. When you were suffering, under intense privations, involved in debts and difficulties, and barely uble toauitain your families, often, have I 6een you receive and reheve the distressed and shipwrecked mariners, scaring with them your hard earned pittance, healing their wounds, speaking comfort to the de jected, and soothing and cheering them on j their war noble souls I hospitable mor tals I Whatever sins are registered against you in heaven, like my uncle Toby, may the commissioned angel, in consideration-of the abundant exercise of this chief of vir tues, touched with sympathetic feeling, let fall one tear of pity 90 the record, and blot it out fereter I One of the families, consisting of the fa ther with "his leg fractured, a irife and "ten children, were quartered in my father's neighborhood; his name was Paddy Welch, a uncainyer oy iraae, ana ms wne an in dustrious stirring woman. After Paddy's leg was healed, which caused hirrt to limp ever after ; he was employed occasionally as a Journeyman bricklayer, and sometimes received separate jobs for himself ; his wife betook her to washing and fortune-telling for a livelihood, so that they made a shift JU get along in the world,. and to keep the younguna chops in exercise, masticating bread and occasionally a bit ol butcners meat. To shew you the simplicity of the man, he had put up a brick building for a miserly old fellow, who, to get an advan tage of htm in tne settlement, pretended ice building was not agreeable to contract and refused payment, faddy consulted a tnend on the occasion," but says he, say nothing abont it, for I mane to be up to hitor, 1 in tend pulling the whole down again, which woni cost me half the labor of putting it up, and so be a gainer in the end, and have full satisfaction ; he was reluctantly over ruled by his friend, who thought U the wi ser course to settle even is he received half the value ; but Paddy still had a strong preference for his original plan. In a few months they seemed to have forgotten their sorrows and hardships sod wars a very happy family the nuie ones gamboiun; in the yard, Mrs. Welch at the'washtu durine the day ; but towards night fall she was seen taking ia fce cjjih,ea, rather, a hurried manner, raootiun down her )r sleeves and Adjusting her hsjr . a. title daughter having anaounced thai pair of young Inl-hji were in the rarly4waUuig to hav their fortune told ftntfrsd lJb"" ing home the regular proceeds w hie la-bor-but ftlaaf I every long road bat iu fSort -turn, erery level road ite IndepUlione, occ asional tillocke and brokea rjrface LThings went oft!

About day light tho little urchins and wife would re turn, peeping through the cracks to see if he was asleep or had got sober; for when recovered from his drunken fit, no mart was more harmless, and all his affection for his family returned.
