MISCELLANY._ Adventures of a Female Sailor. Fifteen years ago a fair and ardent girl of fourteen, residing in a certain part of New York State, became so fractious under a pa rental discipline that accorded ill with her Irrepressible nature, that her maternal un dertook to bring her to reason by the aid of that presentment of leather which little boys regard as capable of communicating rather more temporary warmth to the system than an ordinary cooking-stove. The maiden bore the infliction with commendable heroism, but improved the flrst opportunity thereafter to elope from the scene of her sufferings. Go ing to Boston, she there purchased and donned a complete outfit of masculine attire, cut off her hair, and sauntered to the wharves with a marine determination. It was not long before she found a captain of a China-bound ship, who willingly agreed to take her a voyage with him as a cabin-boy; and to the Celestial Kingdom she went, with out betraying her sex or her ship. The voy age was a long one, lasting no less than five years; and when the vessel re-ap|>earcd in Boston harbor it was as mate that our distin guished heroine trod the decks. Her good conduct had won promotion for her, through all the intermediate grades. Upon receiving her appointment she could no longer keep her secret, but with true womanly confidence in formed the good-looking next-highest officer of her womanhood. Like a sensible man ami sailor, this officer at once fell in love with her. and the twain were privately married, having previously determined, however, that the dis guise should still be kept up. The happy couple occupied the same state room, on the next outward passage, without exciting suspicion. The voyage was a long one; and on the arrival of the vessel at Mar seilles, the youug mate, having been prompt in her sailor-duties, as before, received permission from the captain to go ashore for two weeks. At the expiration of this leave, she came aboard again; but not until she had committed w uic vcwc ui uii iiom-M r ivriivii I’oupu: a wet bit of humanity in her own image. The ship sailed again for America, and once more furled her sails at the wharves of the City of Notions. During the absence of the craft, the owners had built a new and larger vessel, the command of which they conferred upon our heroine’s husband. He accepted the position gratefully, and at once appointed his still disguised wife first mate of the vessel.— The new ship made a prosperous trip around Cane Horn to Sail Francisco, where a contract was made for her to go out to the Sandwich Islands lor a cargo, and back. She made the trip, and then, after cruising about from one port to another, started once more for home. Half the passage was accomplished, when the captain died, and his wife took command, and brought the vessel safely to Boston, when the owners oflered her half-ownership, and the ca[> taincy of the ship. Wishing to visit her child at Marseilles, she was obliged to decline this handsome offer, and took passage immediately in a steamer for Europe. Arriving at Marseilles, she visited the spot where she left her babe; but, to her horror, the house even was gone, and she could get no in telligence of her missing babe. As a last re source, she enlisted the aid of the police, who finally succeeded in discovering that, some three years before, the husband of the woman to whom she had entrusted the child, had died, leaving his wife without means of support.— She had relatives living at Belcastro, in Na ples, and thither she bar! gone for help, taking her youthful charge with her, using for her travelling expenses the money that had been forwarded, just previous to the death of her husband, by the mother of the child. To Bel castre, accordingly, the anxious mother took her way, and on her arrival there, learned that the woman and child had been there, but that the relatives of the former would give her no aid, and that she was obliged to go elsewhere in search of employment; where she had gone and what had become of her none could tell. Our heroine still refused to be discouraged, and continued the search perseveringly and vainly for two years. At last she was repaid for her labor of love. One day, while passing through a ward in a hospital at Florence, her attention was attract'd by the groans of a poor woman who lay dying in one of the rooms, with a handsome boy weeping over her. She approached and heard her own name murmur ed by the sufferer. In another moment she was on her knees beside the bed, clasping the sick one's hands in her own, and asking her the question she almost dreaded to hear an swered. The answer was in the affirmative, and with her last breath the dying woman re stored to the mother the child she had been so long looking for. Scarcely was the laithfu! creature dead when the impatient mother un did the jacket of the weeping boy, and discov ered about his neck a little trinket her own hands had placed there years before. Mother and son immediately proceeded to Havre, lrom whence they sailed for this country, and arc now residing in the city of Detroit. A Candid Deacon.—^Deacon H. was an honest old codger, a kind, obliging neighbor, and a good church-going Christian believing, in the Presbyterian creed to the fullest extent; aiackaday! thitf pillar of the church was. at times, a little “shaky”—in fact, the deacon would, occasionally,get exceedingly “mellow;” and almost every Sunday at dinner he would indulge in his favorite cider-brandy to such an extent that it was with some difficulty he reached his pew, which was in the broad aisle, near the pulpit, and between the minister’s and the village squire’s. One Sunday morn ing the parson told his flock that lie should preach a sermon to them in the afternoon, touching many glaring sins that he grieved to see so conspicuous among them: and that he hoped they would listen attentively, and not flinch if he should happen to be severe. The afternoon came, and the house was full; every body turned out to hear their neighbors “dres sed down” by the minister, who. after well opening his sermon, commenced upon the transgressors in loud voice, with the ques tion—“Where is the drunkard?” A solemn pause succeeded this inquiry; when up rose Deacon li., with his face radiant from copious draughts of his favorite drink at his noontide meal, and steadying himself as well as he could by the pcw-rail. looked up to the parson and replied, in a piping ami tremulous voice— “Here I am.” Of course, u consternation amongst the congregation was the result of UUIIWK OU1I1 a I , UUWfVtT, IIU parson went on with his remarks as lie had written them, commenting severely upon the drunkard, and winding up by warning him to forsake at once such evil habits if he would seek salvation and flee the coming wrath.— The deacon then made a liow and seated him self again. “And now,” out spoke the preach ertnan in bis loudest tones, “where is the hyp ocrite?” A pause—but no one responded.— Eyes were turned upon this and that man; but the most glanres seemed directed to tlit ’squire’s pew, and indeed the parson seemed to squint hard in that direction. The deacon saw where the shaft was leveled, or where it should be aimed, and rising once more leaned over ills pew-rail to the ’squire, whom he tapped on the shoulder, and thus addressed: “Come, ’squire, why don’t you get up? I did when he called on me.” Borrowers.—I detest a man or woman who is forever iiorrowing from his or her neigh bor; but of ali borrowers I despise newspaper borrowers the most. There are hundreds of men who like to read the papers, but are too mean to pay for them, and depend entirely up on their neighbors for their reading-matter. There are men and women who ran well af ford to furnish their kitchens with every nec essary article, yet who, week after week, month after month, txirrow some article for cooking purposes from their lieighliors. There are men and women who borrow ev ery book they read, and return them to their owners, oftentimes,soiled and dilapidated.witli out a blush of shame. There are men who are constantly Iiorrowing money, and sometimes foiget to pav it back. For my part, I consider an habitual borrow er little better than a thief. rtf- a fellow, one of the volunteers to the j 16th Regiment, lieing under medical examina tion at Augusta, was refused because of a rup ture. He was a stout double-listed fellow, and terribly anxious to enlist. Unable to contain himself, when the sad news of his rejection was announced, lie strode blubberinglv across tin* rotunda articulating as well as his grief would rTmit him: “Marin told the recruiting officer was BREACHY as the d-1, and she knew they wouldn’t take me, Ob dear. Oh dear,’’and the agonized accents of the tearful patriot died away on the ears of the dumbfounded officials. “Stonewall” Jackson.—In view of the facility with which this famous Rebel moves himself from Held to Held, it is suggested that his Hohriqurt be changed from “Stonewall” to “Portable Fence Jackson."—[Vanity Fair.

PROSPECTUS OF TUB PORTLAND DAILY PRESS: edited by JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Times, and JOSEPH IL HALL, of the Aroostook Hkrald. The Portland Daily Press is Intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a large, well-filled, carefully edited, and neatly printed weekly paper, intended specially for general circulation throughout the State. Both of the above named papers will labor to inculcate, in no dictatorial spirit, sound political prin ciples and to promote the material interests of the State, and of the City of Portland as it* interests twine with, and arc inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Press will give an earnest, cordial, and generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has indelliblv impressed himself upon the nation’s heart as an incorruptible patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag istrate, and an honest man; the ability of whose ad ministration is most signally exhibited, not'only in the matchless operations of our army and navy, but in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this gigantic rebellion, our Government securities arc selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit aiul defend sound Republican principles, and, inasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as .the Republican party which, in the brief chapter of its history already written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its enemies mm jis designs ana tendencies were sec tional, and triumphantly vindicated its claim to a just and liberal Nationality, lias remained steadfast in its devotion to the Union while other organizations have so generally become iufected with a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at pioseut seems competent to conserve the great prin ciples underlying all free Governments, the Press will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foster a mere partizan spirit, but in the full coniciousness that it embodies the true principles upon which our government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imjierativoly demands. It will neither seek nor endorse any com prom ise* with men in rebellion against the laws of the land, but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of all true democracy—that the majority must govern. Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, it may lie pro|»er to say, that while the Press will sanc tion no interference with the constitutional or legal rights of loyal pen, it will neither apologize for an evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that worn* destined to swoop from existence an institution which is the greatest anomaly in a free government. The emancipation of slavery in the federal Capital, the co-operation of the Federal with the loyal State governments, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful removal of our greatest “moral, political and social evil,” will find in the Press a generous and hearty support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course proposed for the Press, and intending that, alike in war and in peace—in our country's peril and in its triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, we do not lose sight of the fact that true men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now find themselves travelling parallel roads; and, instead of seeking to widen the differences be tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the Press will labor hopefully to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act ion amoug all loyal men. nKiuv It*1 U' liamiiriii, me I keph Will be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart ment will in no case be neglected. Particular atten tion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge nial and welcome visitor in every work-shop, count ing-house, and family circle. The Editors, not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies to the work before them, and labor to make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, and the exigencies of the times demand one that shall be true to tlie popular instincts. The Portland Daily Pukas is printed with en tirely new type, on a short as large as that of any daily in Maine, and issued every morning, (Sun days excepted,) at £5 per annum. Subscriptions for less than six months, 50 cents per month. The Maine State Press, large, neatly printed, and well tilled with the news of the week, and orig inal and selected Political. Agricultural, Literary and Miscellaneous reading, making it specially adapted to the Family Circle, will be issued weekly, at £1.50 per year, idvariably in advance. To any person sending the names of Jire new tubteribrri, cash iu advance, an extra copy will be sent gratis. N. A. Foster, i J. T. Gilman, J X. A Foster & Co., Publishers. J. B.
