SEARS' PICTORIAL FAMILY PUBLICATIONS

ploy their time in supplying to the people of the United

those works are indispensable. They are adapted to the
literary wants of the Christian, the patriot, the statesman,
and the domestic circle, got up in u superior style of art
and workmanship; and are not only such books as will
sell, but are such as an agent of good principle will frul
five to recommend, and willing to see the purchaser again
after they have been bought.
Our Flan.?The plan the publisher has so successfully
cm ried out for several years, is tho obtaining responsible
t-en as agents, who are well known in their own counties,
owns, and villages, and have time and disposition to cir
culate good and instructive books among their neighbors
and friends. Any person wishing to embark in tho enter
prise will risk little in sending $26 or $60, for which he
will receive an assortment as he iuayiliroct, at the Whole

volumes; and all postmasters, clergymen, book pedlars,
and newspaper agents, are respectfully requested to act

Portsmouth, Va., Oct. 9, 1851.
To the Editors of the American Telegraph.
Gentlemen : The U. S. sloop Cyane, Capt.
John Stone Paine, bound to the Gulf of Mexico,
via Havana, left her anchorage off the Navul
Hospital this morning, and proceeded to sea.
The U. S. frigate Savannah, ('apt. Hugh N.
l'age, from the Pacific ocean, arrived in Hamp
ton roads this morning. No particulars of her
passage, &c., have yet been received.
The Seaboard aud Roanoke rail road, termi
nating in this town, is doing much towards giv
ing an impetus to business here. Large freights,
both of produce and passengers, are daily ar
riving, and tho inllux of passengers is so great
that it is with difficulty tho Old Crawford,
though under the indefatigable Charles Ether
edge, can accommodate them. This road has
been in operation but a few months, and judges
1 consider its prospects very encouraging. To
tho company that gave it life and vigor to com
pete with its elder and more experienced rivals,
much is due.
Mons. Adrien, the king of necromancers, has
been among us, to delight and astonish with his
wonderful feats, in Oxford Hall. This hall is,
by the way, a new and spacious building, reared
through the enterprise of Messrs. W. Watts and
others, on High street, and is destined to be a
great auxiliary in relieving our citizens from
the ennui of dull and monotinous evenings.
The races are progressing with a continua
tion of fine spirit. They terminate on Friday.
Yours, &c., Nadir.

which were unanimously adopted :
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, in the
dispensations of his allwise Providence, to re
move from our midst our highly-esteemed citi
zen, Francis 1)oih;e:
Resolved, That we do most heartily sympa

I they with us have sustuined in his death.
I Resolved, That the Secretary request the mas
ters of all vessels now in port to display their
ttugs at half-mast during the day of the funeral.
Resolved, That as a further testimonial of
respect we close our houses of business on Fri
day, the 10th instant; that we atteud the fu
neral as a body, and wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
published in the newspapers of our town and ,

THE 8TUDKNTH.
[Concluded.]
" I do not blame her," continued ITenricb;
I "and when I use the term ignis fatuus 1 don't
mean to apply it to her. The thing was my
; own creation solely. 1 collected her words and i
j looks, and tiuged them with my own hopes; i
like a fellow who sets out with a theory, and
' then hunts for facts to support it, instead of
j first waiting humbly for the fact and placing it
! at the foundation. I have had my theory?
bright and beautiful enough, but now in ruins. I
She, however, may banish uneasiness from her
mind; I shall sec her again, and show her that
her hints have bocn accepted. Beim Himmel,
she has no spauiel at her feet! Fred, my dear
fellow, I bless the gods that I am a worker; this
j fact is my solace at present; my work is my
I medicine; on this fulcrum I know that 1 can
poise myself, and, after a little time, look out
once more upon the world unchagrincd and self
possessed.
A fortnight's struggle set Henrich again in
equilibrium. At the end of a fortnight, he stood
ouce more in the Sonntage-gcsellschaft, and
trod the floor of the ball-room with the assur
ance of a man who feels that he has subdued a
stubborn foe. Helen was there, and so was
Herr Crick, and so was Fred. There is a mys
tio transmission of intelligence between minds,
and this without a word indicated to Helen that
a change had come over Henrich. He neither
sought her nor avoided her; lie spoke to her I
kindly, almost affectionately; in fact, in this re
spect he went farther than hu should have ven
tured in the days of thraldom. Hu did it with
out the second thought, without ulterior object, ?
and, therefore, with dignity and freedom, llerr
Crick joined them once while they conversed
together; after a little time, Henrich walked
away and left Helen and him to continue the
conversation.
The maiden was not prepared for this exhi
bition of character on the part of Henrich. It
was a new quality to her, but one between
which and her own moral constitution there
was the strongest affinity. A kind of spirit
ual gravitation operated between both, which
threatened more aud more the orbit in which
her life had hitherto revolved, and finally
chnnged that orbit. As the earth folds the
moon in its everlasting embrace, and bends her
forward course without an effort, so this strong
man laid hold with silent force upon the maid- |
en's feelings, and held them by an irresistible
attraction.
Henrich had long speculated upon going to
America, and the time drew nenr when the
speculation was to be converted into fact. The
Summer had dawned, periodical land parties
! wero formed, and excursions made through the
| forest. Henrich and Helen often met on such
occasions. The maiden grew paler as the time
of his leaving drew near. About a week before
J his departure, a party was projected to the
| Glasskopf. It was a Whitsuntide, and the sun
j beamed radiant all day. The party met at fce
, fer'8 garden, and Walked thence to the riin of
' the forest. Here, under the primeval beeches,
1 the table-cloths were very gracefully spread,
| fowls were dissected, sausages sliced, and mai- ,
I trank poured out bountefully.
After the repast, little coteries dived into the
forest, 11 enrich and Fred strolled off alone,
mid remained away until the Bound of a distant
horn ut sunset warned thein the party was col
lecting for home. They turned in the direction
of the sound. A long summer's day had just
ended, and the sun teemed his last breaker of
golden light from the crown of tho Franenberg.
The souls of both were interpenetrated with
tho beauty and repose of the scene arouud
them. In this mood they opened the wicket of
a little burial-ground which lay athwart their
path, and which contained one green grave.
At the head of the grave rose a pillar, with
rough rock fragments dumped arouud its baso;
at the foot sprung three tall pines, which spread
their sombre branches, like hearse piumes, over
the dead. The grave was that of an ancient
forester, who had taken up his final lodging
amid the scenes which most delighted him. As
the friends entered, a lady, who appeared to
have been reading tho epitaph, retreated to
wards a gate at the opposite side of tho enclo
sure?both knew that it was Helen.
"Fraulen!" exolaimed Fred, impulsively, you
are surely riot afraid of us.
The maiden stopped nnd turned; the friends
advanced towards her; to Henrich she appeared
tho same trembling snowdrop as when he first
beheld her.
" It is a fitting place to say good-bye," said
Fred. " You will hardly have an opportunity
of seeing each other again?would that I could
have witnessed your union, instead of your sep
aration !"
" Fred !" exclaimed Henrich, "don't talk so;
old memories, though subdued, are not killed."
"What are the memories?" demanded Fred.
" Shall I tell him '!" asked Ilenrich, turning
laughing to Helen.
A low "yes" wan the maiden's reply.
" Well, Helen," said he, taking her hand,
" what he wants me to confess is this: that I
once loved you : that for your sake I have
struggled against that love and subdued it, and
that now 1 stand before you with the heart of a
brother, and pray God to bless you."
A kind of sympathetic motion stirred the
maiden's lips, and she murmured " God bless
you!"
"Nay, Henrich! nay, Helen! not so," ex
claimed Fred. "This infernal delusion must
not blind you. Do not coutravene the manifest
design of heaven who made you for each other.
Go together, in tho name of God!"
A deathlier paleness spread over the maiden's
cheek. The sun had sunk, and the west glowed
like the gates of heaven, beside which, half lost
amid the amber, one bright star stood sentinel.
A million thoughts rushed simultaneously upon
the brain of Henrich, and tho long-quelled fer
vor of his heart now rose swelling to hia lips.
"Fred," he muttered, in a condensed whisper,
as if unconscious of the maiden's presence, "do
you think she would come?"
" Will you go, Helen?" asked Fred. " Come,
my girl, let me answer for you?you will!"
"1 will," replied the maiden.
The arms of a man were around her in an
instant, and the heart of a man throbbed against
her lily cheek, lie kissed it till its roses kindled,
and the fairies danced more joyously
I that night around the grave of the old forester.
The Colored Population of tite North.?
The Buffalo Courier has a valuable article on
the facts disclosed by tho late census in refer
ence to the eolored population of this country.
Their position in the free States has never been
calculated to advance their own interests, or to
elevate them in the estimation of those about
them. They cluBter in the purlieus of our large
cities, living precariously and by the perform
ance of the most menial labor; or if they do dive
into the bush or squat upon the prairie, it is to
live in filth and indolence, content to chop wood
by the cord, or to cxact the means of subsist
ence from the negligent cultivation of four or
five acrcs of land. Partly, no doubt, in consc
quence of these circumstances, partly from
their general unfitness for the climato and pur
suits of northern latitudes, the records show a
rate of progress as to numbers which contrasts
most strangely with that of the whites by whom
they arc 8'irroundcd, and even with that which
prevails amongst their own race in the slave
States.
The Courier shows thrit in New England,
where the Boci'il condition of the negro has the
benefit of a full measure of abolition sympathy,
his race has not increased as in the South.
While the total increase of the whites in New
England has been at the rate of sixty-five per
cent, within the last thirty years, that of tho
blacks has been but six and a half per cent.,
notwithstanding the constant influx of fugitives.
As compared with the census of 1H40, the cen
sus of last year exhibits an absolute decrease.
In New Hampshire, where no attempt has yet
been made to catch a runaway, the decrease
amounts to about two-fifths of the whole.
