The great number of ships that were equipped for sea were thd means of spread inx ease and proaperityamongsUllclasses of the population. Swarms of vessels, which became famous un der the name of earectrea, swept upand down the Channel, and inflicted serioua injury upon English commerce. The liuiogne fishermen, a brave and hardy set of fellows, displayed trails of courage worthy of being. registered beside those of Jean, Bart, aud other illustrious manners, ana were oiteu rewameu wun me Cross of the Legion of Honor, by the band of the Emperor tnnise I. , . . One fine and fresh morning toward the close of the month of March, an immense p.rnwd was stationed on the iettv. Everv eve was arrxiouDly watching two ships that ap- ntared in the offing, and seemed to be making for the harbor. The look-out man on duty at the ftcatneade soon signaled a cflriairr and her Dcixe. An hour had acsreely elapsed when the "Etoiie," commanded by Jacque Oudart Fourmentin, one of the boldest seamen belong' ing to Bulogne, entered the port, and was 're ceived with energeticcheera. . He was towing behind bun a hsnJsome brig, which he had boarded aud captured (ft Shoreham. The eorsaire bore upon her ringing honorable marks of the enemy's fire. The English ves sel was armed with twen'.y-four nine-pound ers, and was returning from the West Indies with a valuable cargo two iiunureti and sev enty hogsheads of sugar, two hundred and ninety bales of cott6n turn, and other colo nial produce a class of property which, from day to day, laid the foundation of the rising fortunes of Hulogne'n merchant aristocracy, The day following that on which a pnee was brought in, was always kept as a holiday by the crew, who paraded, with a band of music at their head, the trophies of their vic tory through the principal streets. In the evening the conquerors reasseir.Died to noia a grand gala at one ot those housei which en joyed the privilege of rapidly absorbing the rooi ey earned at the risk ot me, ana . which was prodigally spent by bandtulls, without the least regard for the future. The crew of the "Etoiie," faithful to the traditional custom met at the Petit livoli d H'ver, in the Rue du Calvaire, and which stood, upon tha spot now occupied by the houses thst arc numbered 16 and 17. It was a guinguette, or suburban public house, very much in vogue, where privatt- and public balls were given, and which was also made use of for club meetings, un ball days it was throne ed with crowds of dancers, who poured like livine avalanches, both from the camp of the .right and the camp of the left, aud whose num ben wete increased dv a lair proportion oi men belonging to the cotitia The crew, then, of tha "Etoiio" were cele brating their good fortune in the long room at Ihe Petit Ttyoll d' Hiver, which 8.Uyd on thia'occasioiWhe usual character. of such meetings as these. Strong excitement, not difficult to comprehend, reigned throughout the whole course of the feast. ' Wine no wed in ail UirecilOQd. line waicc, mi uunui ui iujiij I ... ..... rm .. -I. ......

He was a young sailor, who had fallen into a doze, with his elbows resting on the table. Almost as soon as the room was empty, i individual stealthily slipped in. He was strong young fellow, with vigorous limbs and an Mthlelic frame, dressed in a great grey-coat buttoned up to the top, and a police cap cock ed ou one side over the ear, after the fashion of awagerers and brawlen. He gave agreedy miwijntinuuuii.rei u6a. .6.; glance atthe remains of the banquet, approach- d the table without ceremony, poured himself out a bum; er, and then threw, the remains his glass into the sleeper's face, shouting out to him .. "Good health, old chap" The sailor, roused by this ispersion, started immediately to fa is feet, and dretf himself up in front of the man who had thus insulted him. "The. devil fetch you, Mr. Footsoldier! What do you v.ean oy shoving against a sailor? Make the best you can of that." He seized bim by the collar, as it he were grappling with an enemy on ship-board, made him spin round, and laid bira flat at the foot the table., ,' "Cursed sea-wolf I" said the soldier, crusti ng the tsnd of his coat; "You shall pay for this. ' I'll give you a pretty severe drilling, piomise you." ... "1 hope you will j and I also beg that you will not put if off later than tomorrow motning.

The sailor appeared to be so determined that the soldier seized the weapon, aud advan ced several paces. . He had fought so many uels in the course of h;s life that he reckon ed, not unreasonably, on displaying his cus tomary dexterity, and on getting out of tins af fair with his usual good fortune. Jean Pierre firm as a rock did not stir an inch. With his at in bond he watched hisailvesary, who mis took his stillness for hesitation, and rushed upon him. The weapons clashed and the sparks flew. The combatants warded each others blows with equal skill aud rapidity. It was a deadly struggle. The young sailor, completely master ol himself, attacked his op ponent not more vigorously than coolly, and would not leave the circle he had marked out as bis post.. The soldier, furious at such a re sistance, foamed with rage, bounded round him: made a leap, and .truck at bis head, Jean Pierre leaned on one aide, raited his ax, and cleft the Moonlighter's skull In twain. An hour after the coraaire "Etoiie" was sail ing out of the harlot, to recommence her pri vateering career. END OF A TENNESSEE FROLICK.

BY AN EYE-WITNESS. to of all hit on me was and o for last fit that is hu is the a the the ever of to but, those Dives to and and maae ' It was a! the close of a stormy dav, In the year 186, when the gallant frigate Conatitu lion, under the command of Captain Elliot, aving on board the late Edward Livingston, then Minister at the Court of France, and family, manned by. near five hundred souls, rew near the 'chop' of the bnglish Channel. For four days ahe had been bi.-ating down from Plymouth,, and on the filth, at evening, ahe made her tack for the French aoast. The watch was setateii'ntP. M. The cap- lain came 011 deck soon after, and having as certained the bearing of Scilly, gave orders to keen the skip 'full and by,' remarking atthe same lime to the nflicerof the deck, that he might make the light on the lee beam; but be slated, he thought it more than probahle that he would pass it without seeing it. He then turned in as did most of the idlers and the starboard watch. At a quarter past nine P. M., the ship headed west by compass, when the call of Light ho !' was hear from ti e foretopsail yard. 'Where sway r asked the orficeror the deck. Three points to the lee bow,, replied the lookout man, which the unprofessional, leader will understand to mean very nearly straight ahead. At this moment the captain appeared and took the trumpet. 'Call ali bands,' was his immediate order. All hands,' whistled the boatswain, with the Jong, shrill summons familiar to the ears of all who have been on a man-of-war. All handa !' screamed the boatswain's mate, and ere the echo died away, dl but the sick were on aeck. The ship was staggering through a heavy swell from the Bay of Biscay; the gale which bad been blowing several dais, had increased to a severity thst was not to be made lightof. The breakers, where Sir Cloudesly Shovel and bis fleet was destroyed in the days of Queen Ann, sang their song of death before, and the Dead Man's Ledge replied in hoarser notes behind us. To go a bead seem to be death, and to go about was sure destruction. The first thing that caught the eye of the cap tain was the luried mainsail, which he bad ordered to be carried throughout the evening the hauling up of which, contrary to the last order be had given on leaving the deck, had caused the ship to fall off to the leeward two point, and thus led her into a pomtion on lee shore upon which a strong gale was blowing her, in which tho chance of safety anucared to the stoutest ntrves almost hope less. ' That sole chance consisted in standing on, to carry us through the breakers f Scilly or by a close graze alone their outer edge. was this destiny to bi the end ot me ganani old shift consecrated by many a prayer and blessing irom me heart 01 a nation 1 'Why.

'Haul aft the main sheet I' shouted the cap tain; and aft it went, like the spreading of sea-bird's wing giving ihe huge sail to gale. ; 'Give her the lee helm when ihe goes into the sea !'. cried the captain. i 'Aye, aye, sir 1 she has it 1' growled out old sea-dog at the binnacle. .

'Steady so returned the captain. 'Steady !' answered the belmesman, and was silent as the grave upon the crowded deck except the howling of the storm, for a space of time that seemed to the imagination almost an age. . : ; It was a trying hour to us; unless we could carry sail to go at the rate of nine knots hour, we must of tiecessily dash upon Scilly; and whoever touched upon those rocks and lived during a alormf . ... .- ' . ; The sea ran very high, the rain fell in sheets the sky was one black curtain, illuminated only by the faint light which' was to mark our deliverance.or stand a monument of our des truction., The wind had got above whistling itcame in puffs that flattened the waves.and made our old frigate settle to her bearing, while eveiything on board seemed to be crack ing into pieces. At this moment the carpenter reported that the left bolt of the fore-shroud had drawn. , , ., A. 'Get on the luffs, and et them all on" weather shrouds I Keep her at small helm, quartei-moster, and ease ber in the sea,' were the orders Of the captain.

THE PRACTICAL JOKER. Arthur M was bright little boy .of ten years, and his pleasant fact and cheerful spirit seemed ike a ray of heaven's own bless ed sunlight in hia mother's otherwise solitary . dwc ltng. But I am sorry to say that Arthur was not loved by hi companions. He was a practical joker, and bis little friends were in constant fear, when in hia company, of having some very unpleasant tiickj played upon them. If tbey went to gainer mils or perries, be did love 1.0 Kill a snaae anu inrow 11 urounu some boy's neck,' just lot the fun of hearing him scream.'. When iney went 10 came, taey 01 ten found a frog in their pockets, or -their shoes filled with sngle worms. And he was sometimes so very cruel aa to use away a boy's dinner, and fill his basket with stones. These things were very annoying) anu at length Arthur was left to play alone, or to go home to play with bis little sister. Dearlittlo Eliza was just beginning to go to school, and Arthur loved her very much. But his love for fun" as he called it, was sometimes so strong, that he would even overturn hu sled, and throw the sweet little girl into the snow. His mother strove in vain to correot this cruel propensity, and she felt some anxiety on hia account, when a new tamer . came to use charge of bis education. His own fsther died when be wasnoaoe, anu 01 course do haa never known a father's love. But' he was very much pleased when a pleasant smiling gentleman came to live with them, and he was told he might can mm miner. One morning, a lew days after Mrs. m was married to Mr. L , Arthur wa told to cut potatoes, ami give them to the cow. Ho obeyed very clieerlully, cut the potatoes, and carried them to the barn, but when he placed them beiore the cow, be turned a peck meas ure over them so that the cow could not est lhm. "My son," said Mr. L. when be re turned, "did you give the potatoes to the cow?" "Yes, sir," he replied, but the merry twinkle of his eye led his father to suspect something wrong, and he Very soon went to the barn himself. Arthur was frightened when he saw him go out, for he expected a whipping But 110 notice was taken f the joke as he called it. Soon, there came a snow slorm, and when it passed away, the snow lay piled in deep drifts 011 both aides of the road. Arthur start ed to school, the next mornine, drawing his little aiv.er on his sled ; but when he came near the deep drifts, suddenly the sled waa overturned, und buried in the snow. Arthur sprang to take her up, and very tenderly led her back to the house. But his father stood at the window, and saw the whole transac tion. Next morning Mr. L. said pleasantly, "I'll draw you to school this morning if you like." Arthur was delighted. He thought bis father was very kind indeed. But when they came to the drift, suddenly the sled waa overturned and was buried in the snow. ' "You must learn to hold on better than thin," said Mr. L., "if you rrean I shall draw you." And be quietly returned to the house, leaving Arthur to get out aa he could. " "Oh, chickea for dinner 1 chicken for din ner !' shouted Arthur, as he returned from school and saw his favorite dish on the table. They were 'soon seated, and Mr, L. helped Arthur to a large plate-full. But just as he waa taking up his knife and fork, his father took a large bowl that stood by his plate, and turned it over Arthur's dinner, At first ho looked up in surprise; but he immediately un derstood it. He was very hungry, but he did not dare to remove the bowl.. The rest of the family began 10 eat, and he sat looking very red and unhappy. At length he burst into tears. , , i "Father' said he, "I never will put . the peck measure over the cow's dinner again, and I'll never turn sissy into the snow again, if you'll let me eat my dinner." "Very well, my ou," said Mr. L. removing the bowl; "you'lf'find practical jokes are not verv pleasant when playe-i on yourself. Al ways remember if you would be loveil and respected, you must do by others as you wish- others to do by you." ( 0I t is a curious fact in science that glass resists the action of all acida except the fluoric; it loses nothing in weight by use or age; it is more capable than all other substances of re ceiving the highest degree of polish, if melt ed several times over, and properly cooled irk the furnace, receiving a polish almost rivai- me the diamond in brilliancy.
