Miss Simper appeared at Saratoga in nn olekap.t suit'of able: She.was aid to be in mourning lor lien latiicr, an opulent Hroker in iialiimbrej lerently det-eased. G'ief hadtvnsted heV health, and vveepinc. had washe'daway her Toses, and she fns come to -recover hr appetitf, 'and reani mate her blushes. MUs Simper, ol couise was an heiress, and attracted great atten tion. The gentlemen caUel her a beau tr and talked a great deal of her real estate, bank tock and securities. Some of the Indies thought her complexion too salfoo?, ami some objected to the style of her dress. Mrs. Highflyer sa'ul she had not the air of a woman of fashion, while Captain Halliard pronounced Jier a sus picious sail, and declared his belief that she was a privateer in disguise. The fair atcanger, however, walked daily to the fountain, modestly cast down her e cs xwhen srazed at, aud seemed unconscious of all but her own horrors. 'About this time Major Fitzconn ell ap peared Aipon the busy gceue He was a tall, handsome man, of easy address and polished njannets, who seemed 1o regard all'around him with an air of very polite unconcern. ; lie was announced as an of ficer in Jis Britannic Majesty's service, and brother to Earl Somebody in England. It was reported that he had large landed possessions in the west. He did not ap pear to seek society, but was too well bred to repel any civilities which were ottered to him. The gentlemen were well jdeas rd with his good snse, his knowledge of the world, and the suavity of his. man neri, butasjie seemed toavoid tne lad e-, they had9 little opportunity of .estimating his "qualities. Majoi Fitzronne.ll and Miss Simper met by acciden? at th fountain. The officer wlio had just filled his glass at her approach, presented it to th- lady, wh, in sipping the transparent element, drop ped her hai.dkei chief. The gentleman very gallantly picked up the cambric and restored it to the fair hand of us owner ,but the blushing damsel abashed by the easy attentions of an elegant stranger, in her confusion losjt her reticule, .which the soldier. gracefully replaced upon her wrisi, with a most respectful bow. A courtesy on the onetside, and another bow on the other; terminated the civilities of this nieetie-. The . irenlleman pursued his Walk, and the I. idy returned to her cliam ber. That Miss Simper felt duly sensi ble of the honor of having elicited three 'graceful congees from the brother of an Enslish Earl cannot be doubted ; nor can we suppose, without injustice to that gen tleman's taste, that he saw "villi inditt'er ence the mantling blushes which those attentions had drawn forth ; certain it is, however, tha4 as they separated in oppo . Mte direct inrs, neither ol them was seen to cast one longing .lingering look be liind.'

They met :;gain by aendent a the propifiwus well ; ;! the attenldan!, who is usually posted iheie to iil the glasses ol the invalids, had ir()t yeti laken his station, the Major had not only the happiness of performing that office, tut ol replenishing ihe exhaus ted vessel, until the lady had quaffed the 3 all measure prescribed by the lutdical dictator ot this little community.' I am i ut able to say how often they pledged 4 otuer in the ealubrious beverage: but when the reader "is infor med that ihef quftnfmn prescribe! to a delicate female varies from four t6 eight glasses, accord ing to the nature jot her complaint, mid that a lady cannot decorously sip more '.han i onemuuthlul Without drawing breath, t will be een thnt ample time was aft r led on thjs occasion for a tele-a -lete.

At ten 'o'clock trhe lady 'issued forth from her; chamber adorned with new charms, by the repent labors of the toilet, and strolling pensively, book in hand, to the farthest corner of the great piazza, commenced her studies. It happened, atl the same moment, that uic itnjor, nesii sroni ins vaiei nanus, hied himself to thie same cool retreat, to breathe forth the melancholy musings of his soul, jupon his! flute. Sejeing the lady he hesitated, begged pardon for his Intru sion, and was about Us retire -hut the lady assured him jit was no intrusion at all, and laid aidk? her book. The sen- I i tlemanAvas soon featfxl beside her. He begged to know the subject of her research ts, and iwas (le)ij:hted with the taste dipl,yed in the Choice of her author : )e earnestly. solicited a display of his musical talents, ar.d was enraptured with i -i.i - . . . every note ; ami when the same nnruM ti ne tit bell which had curiaileil their morn, ir.jr Wfilk,' aaiu jsoand.d in their ears, they were surprised to find how suiftlv time had llown, (and chagrined that the common -place operation of eating was so often allowed tojiuterrupt the least of reason and the flbw of soul. At four o'clock the military stranger handed Miss Simper into an elegant gig, and drove to th neighboring village ; where rumor subn proclaimed that this interesting pair jwere united in the holy band of matrimony, tor once the many tongues of fame spoke truly and when the happy Major returned with his blush ing bride all coulcl see that the embarrass ment of the lover, was exchanged for the tnumpant smile jof,the delighted bride- irroom- it is hardly necessary to add that such vyas the salutary effect of this pleasing event, that the 'young couple' found thetjnselvesjrestor'd to perfect health and on the following morning they bade atneu to Saratoga springs.

As they "vcre drawing near the end of their jouriiey, the Major thought it ad visabie, to, broach this delicate matter to his bride.! It was upon a fine summer evening, ais they sat by a window, at an inn, enjoying the beauties of an extensive landscape,! tnat this memorable conversa tion occurred. They had been amusing themselves with that kind of small talk which 'Hew married folks so easi ly invent I as how iriuch they love one another, and how happy they intended to be, and wlljat a fine thing it is for two fond hearts to be dissolved and melted down into one, &c.

When she heard the stage diive up lo the door of the inn, she hastily rose, and having previously. made up her bundle, without w hich a lady never steals a march, hastened down stairs. Upon the way she met the landlord, who inquir ed if her husband was awake. 'He is no'.' said the lady, 'and need not be distuibed.' ' The seat was taken for ynii then,' in quired the inn-keeper.

Races Last day Knowing ones taken in, -Since the great race between Eclipse and Htfnry, there never has been known to exisi so much excitement as at present among the sporting circle, occasioned by the defeat of Black Maria by Alice Grey, in a race for 8 1000, whico came on on Saturday at the Union Race Course, Long Island. The day was propitious, but the number on the Course was far less thau expected. The opinion generally prevail ed that no sport would lake place, as -from character of the favorite" animal, her the competitors could stand no chance, con sequently bets ran very high, 5 to 2 being freely offered. At the starting Maria took the lead, pushed by Jackson, who not bein able to run her hard enough, Alice Grey was brought up to ihe ncrulch, and succeeded iu beating this heat by about two lengths. Time, Tin. 50s. Jackson distanced ! " The second heaL was again led off by Maria, but in the second quarter ol the fourth mile a desperate pusn for tiie lean was made by Alice, in which she sue ceeded, and beat tin beat by about lour lengths.

Peace be with them, gentle and well-tried : friends! They were a lovely pair of ! rights and lefts in their lives, and in their deaths they were not divided, for their straps were tied together, and they were thiown out of the back dour in company.

METHOD OF PRODUCING HEAT. An English paper received by the last arrival, gives the following account of a singular method of producing tnjt from the element hy which it is Commonly ex tinguished : - "Mr. Rutner, of Lvmingfon, already known as the author of a li eaiise on Ga- Lighting, -has nb'aioed. a patent for a new method o! jiroducing heat, 'which is cer tainly one of the mot useful discoveries of modern science. In huge furnaces and manufactories it will almost entirely su persede the use of coal. But its greatest advantage will be found in its applicabil ity to sieam navigation. Tne -principal ingredient employed for fupl iu this new process is wafer .' The only material re quired besides, is spuiethiug iu a liquid form which contains a huge portion of carbon ; w hale oiJ, tar or almost any thing of a similar kind, will answer (he purpose. As these -materials are introduced into tne furnace simultaneous ajnd in-conoiua tion with each other, the "one "yield.- its carbon while the other gives out its hy drogen, and a small portion of at oiosperic air is the only thing that is thd. required to kee,) them in a state of per feet combustion. The whiteness ci. inten sity of the llame thus produced can hard ly be imagined by any one who has not seen it. and yet it is so completely under management that in one second' it can be i educed or augmented as: the occasion may require. It is almost unnecessary lo add 'i hat it yields no smoke, and con 1 seipuently the htdeoui fuiiuel now used i:. 1-,.. t .;.i ,.n it . in sieam packets may be laid aside.
