In 1670, Maine had, here and there, scanty settlements along the coast, and on the banks of beautiful rivers, whose sources had never been touched, or tracked by the white man. Near the mouth of one of those streams which flow broad and deep into the sea, was Pema quid. There lived, long ago, a family of the early settlers of New England. It consisted, acoor ding to veritable history, (we refer to Holmes' annals,) of twenty-six children. William, one of the youngest sons, is the hero of our tale. He was a hardy, brave and daring boy. He - had a fair, open countenance, which disclosed among other desirable qualities, energy and a fixed and stubborn will, to accomplish whatever s, he deemed it worth while to undertake. His he manners might seem rude in a brilliant dress party of the present day, and to partake more ;k of the rough run of the woods, than the culture of fashion. 'n At the age of seventeen, he commenced a n trade with a ship carpenter. He quickly ill proved his ready ability and inclination to do his duty. Still he found time to fall in love with his master's daughter-a sweet and gentle girl, yet of strong mind, in whose society he was thrown. He had gained her affection and - confidence before his master knew how great R. an inroad had been made in his daughter's heart. . The mother, was at once notified, and en raged that her "only daughter should throw herself away upon a poor apprentice." Like * all good mothers, who forget they were once . young, Mrs. Mason did not remember that the id more she meddled with such delicate webs the more tangled they become. She had no sooner is satisfied herself that the young couple were in earnest, and that Mary could not be moved ta from her affection by her mother's opposition and anger than she assailed her husband in no : gentle manner. She insisted upon dismissing le William, and thus break the connexion. She d would not suffer such things, and he ought not - to permit them, she enlarged upon the certain disgrace of Mary's marrying one so much rs below her in birth and expectation. She had many hopes that her daughter, so beautiful and fair,would some day form a connexion with one of the wealthy families of Baltimore, where her relatives chiefly resided. Mr. Mason had learned from sad experience, extending over a period of years, that how r- ever much he might order his business out of doors, within the threshhold his dominion ceased. At home Claude reigned with undis puted sway, and so he submitted to lose a good and profitable apprentice, that he might prevent his becoming a son-in-law, although it was diffi °t cult for the father of Mary to see why William " would not make a respectable husband. He was not, however, allowed to rest until he had fairly turned the poor fellow out of doors. William, with a bursting heart, had only the opportunity to clasp Mary to his arms for a s, moment, and as their hearts beat high with the purest affection, they vowed before God, never to marry unless they could be united to each Sother. " I shall leave the country," said he, "I shall brave the storm and the sea, and seek in foreign lands, that fortune, which is necessary for our union, with your mother's consent." Her feelings were calm and deep, and she was as fixed as the mountain in her purposes, and she told him so. "Come back," said Mary, "when you can and you shall find my heart as truly yours as ever, if I live; seek my grave stone if dead, and you shall find the re cord of my maiden name." S, William did not rave and tear his hair, nor did Mary faint, and languish, after the approved style of Bulwer orJames. Hedid not threaten to take her from her home and live on love in a mountain cot upon the wood crowned summits of Maine. He, in fact, (how unsentimental he was,) did not swear to shuffle off this mortal coil, by the direct agency of pining, powder, or poison. But after the first agony of separa - tion and dash of his youthful dreams and early hopes had passed, he determined to be a man, and achieve a victory, by his energy and suc cess, over the daughter by more endearing a qualities. William departed for Boston. Ere long he ascertained that a ship was soon to sail for Lon I don, he engaged as a common sailor before ii the mast and soon acquired aknowledge of his duties. A heavy gale came on as they sighted 5 the coast of Ireland. They struggled for twelve hours to keep the ship from going ashore, having done all that was possible for man to do,in anxiety and despair they awaited the re , sult. They drifted on a lee shore and as she Sstruck, the sea made a breach over her from stem to stern, and carried away almost every , manon her deck. William clungto the rigging dj until her masts had gone and taken with them Sbeneath the surging waves each other sailor. Y As the vessel was breaking up, by the force ofj the waves, and by thumping on the rocks, he e felt that now his hour was come, and his sthoughts, with an intensity which concentrates - within a moment whole years of "memory, flew to the home of his childhood and the haunts of his early love, and as the image of Mary stood out before him-a stifled agony soughtexpres sion and burst in grief fiomn his heart. "Fare well Mary," - he said, but the roaring winds heeded him not, and the rude rocks rent the ship, and the waves danced in wild and crested foam around him. But as the morning broke I and the beach seemed but a little distance,hope revived in his heart, if the ship could but hold Stogtether a little longer. Just then hle heard the ti shriek of a female voice, that appeared to be at the entrance of the cabin, which had burst open by the working of the vessel, and looking in that direction, he saw a beautiful woman a passenger who had spoken kind words to him upon the voyage. The water in the cabin had driven her upon deck, where shehad stood in speechless agony till now. He rushed for ward and grasped her in his arms, for a wave was coming and the ship was breaking up be neath their feet, its heavy timbers were split into fragments, which the seas tossed far and wide, He sprang over the side upon the bo som of the rolling waves which dashed shore ward and cast him almost lifeless upon the beach. The shock recovered him, hestill held his charge firmly in his embrace. Bu another he saw was coming, which might take them back into the boiling abyss. He struggled up the beach, dragging the senseless form of the woman till he was in safety. Then he laid her dowvn on the cold wet sand, and smoothed hdacks, and strove to recall ie i.fe Which see!m a - - h v a1edl from .er sweet pale He bad. scued a daughter of the duke of Alberma Assistance came from the inhabi tants of tJh neighborhood. A country gen tlemen;e, acquainted with the duke, rendered i every a'i which care cduld bestow. With a grat. t known only by those who allrescued fi~dea th, she-strove to induce William to re ceive Some costly jewelry, whichshe preserved about her person, and to go to England, and reeive ime valuable gift from her father. He would venothing bt mi note of introdurc to w h e sever paeset. l AeTegth he fiund his wriirto London, and 1 uarble t- trade toadvantage he r shipped Eoast s Ater afew year thein alw1 is 1 was in London, havingagainbeen wrecked and aty lost. . He had lost also his` captain, who had 2ks promised to aid. him to get a vessel that he ver might command in person., By the second an. wreck, he- also lost his acquisitions in the east, ich and was por as ever,anda strangerin a strange la- land. Worn down by misfortune and almost broken hearted, he was wondering through the ray streets of the metropolis, and revolving whither or- he should direct his course. He had written es' as opportunity occurred, but he had never re me ceived a single line from home, or a word from Lie. Mary. He new not whether she was false or Ile dead, or still true. His dreams of greatness ed and success began to melt away in thin air,one I a by one, as the mist wreaths from the mountain rer summit. As he was listlessly passing along lis the streets, he beheld an elegantly attired lady rss riding in an open carriage. She called to the wre coachman and seized William by the hands, ire and wept upon his shoulder. It was the wife of sir WalterrWorthley, whom he had saved la from the wreck, years before. dy She now insisted upon his going home with do her. She had never ceased to be anxious for ve his fate. She thanked God that she was once tIe more able to testify her gratitude for his servi he ces and noble daring. nd He was received in the most cordial manner ,at by her husband, and the duke,her father, who r's gallantly told him he was indebted to William for his daughter, while sir Walter Worthley n- was equally indebted to him for his wife. )W He was provided with every comfort, as he though 'he were a most distinguished guest, ce instead of a homeless wanderer from whom he success had fled. he At the supper table, the conversation broken or in upon by his appearance,. was resumed by in the duke and sir Walter. It related to the ed wreck of a Spanish vessel which had been on richly ladened with specie and bar gold, and no lost on the Bahamas. The possibility of re "g covering the property was in debate. It attrac he ted the undivided attention of our hero.: At ot length he ventured to make a suggestion-upon Ln the matter, which indicated to the gentleeinn ch his ability and enterprise. And finally he en ad gaged to undertake the hazard of-recovering Id the property. It was accepted, they fitted out ne the expedition which he commanded. His re first voyage was unsuccessful.

And alwa yv id*he exhibit the strong ch and stern elements of tlhe man he promised to be, when a friendless boy he was. working in . the ship-yard of Penaquid. in He became governor of Massachusetts in ry 1692. He had nobly fulfiled his vow never to marry until he could command the respect of he the mother of Mary. He had written to his es, early love, still for many years they had not Lid met. But it had become a general remark and ny matter of speculation how it could happen that ny the governor had so much to call him away re- from the capital to the eastward. However that might be, Penaquid had its share of attention. lor ed Great preparations were going on in the egovernor's mansion. It was splendidly illumi nated. An assemblage of the weahl and honor its and beauty of tri-mountain had collected there he everything had conspired to make the affair a al brilliant one. The halls were beautifully deco r rated and adorned with paintings, among them Swas a fine picture of shipwreck. The windows were shaded with royal purple drapery,curtains lined with silk and trimmed with gold lace and tassels, a present from queen Mary of England, the royal consort of William, who was crowned g in 1684. Rare exotics and beautiful flowers lie from the garden of opulence were exhaling n- their perfumes on the air. Soft and rich music ie burst forth, and the light and merry feet of is dancers responded to the stirring trains. And d the hours went by like a pleasing dream.< But or the chief object of attraction was the charming e, bride of the governor, whose marriage was t then celebrating those vows which had been hallowed in heaven, and were uttered long be Sfore by the youthful hearts at Penaquid, as Stheirgood genius bade them never to despair. Beautiful womanhood added rather than de ry tracted firom the earlyv loveliness of Mary. A g calm and holy joy-a repose of spirit known Sonly to the virtuous and the happy, rested like an angel's smile upon the brow of Mary, then Sthe bride of William Phipps, the colonial gov is ernor of Massachusetts. The Courier des Etats Unis contains an :ac¢ count of the new hotel, on the American plan; now building in Paris. It out-tops any in this country in capacity. It is situated on Rivoli i and St Honore streets, and Coq street, rtnd the Palais Royal-that is about the centre of Paris, a little north of the Seine river, and also of the Tuilleries and Luxembourg palaces, which border that river. The new hotel is 165 feet in length, 156 feet in depth, covering 23,700 square feet. The largest hotel now open is the St. Nicholas, of New York, which covers about 16,200 square feet. The galleries of the Paris hotel are composed of 52 arcades and are faced with shops, occupying about 1,200 feet of the ground plan, with a second story to the same extent, and an entresol or little story be- n tween the shop and second story. The upper stories are occupied by the hotel, and have 436 ! windows. Three iron balconies each extend 1,200 feet around the, edifice. The principal entrance of the hotel, on Rivoli street-the s grandest straight street in Paris-occupies four arcades, two of them for coaches, these lead to the central court, 90 feet long and 80 broad. ] The principal interior gallery is 332 long by about 20 broad. The eating hall is 132, feet lobig anfT:52 broad, and will hold 350 pon. There are large private suites of €s with private entrances. Six hui eronis can be accommodated.

The grocer retained the bill and adver tised it for six months, after which he invested it until 1842. At the last date be paid over to the city register $1,080, beig.gtheamountwith a interest, after deducting theexpensesof adver tising.

From them we t learn that our vrid is made up of but compara tively few subs ce so few, indeed, that we are r struck with all ander and astonisbment,when we consider thei umeraitle variety of form and character into wl thoas elements are capable of being moulded We have all the animate and inanimate creatio> he plants, the animals, we have the rocks, the ~trth, the air, and water, in their endless variety: and yet the substances of which they are comr d do not'exceed sixty. On closer examinati our wonder increases, as we learn thatof these e ents no less than forty six are metals,in the o rary sense of the Word, five are gaseous bodies like the air-which, in deed, consists of two gaes outof these five,and the remainder are substces of an intermediate character,of which surphir and charcoal are the types. Therefore everythli that we can see or touch pertaining to our wi*d is composed of one two or more of these elencts. We know of no one substance that contains more than six of these elements, and in a geaeral way there are rarely more than two or three blended together to produce one result. T hus the white of an egg ismade of six elements a flint stone of only two, apiece of wood consists of three elements. These three materials are .Jietypes of the por tions of the world to which hey belong. Though one stone differs from another stone, andone wood from another wood iand one flesh from another flesh, yet their composition is similar and of nearly the same ,ments. It is the na ture, quality, and property of these several elements that constitute the study of chemis try-not medicine, for aitis but a mere branch of chemistry-the composition of all things, By analogy, the analytical chemist can state with certainty the,priicipal qualities and com t position of everythi placed in his hands,what use to make of it, ad how it is to be applied for the welfare an benefit of his fellow-man. Huferland, in hb treatise on sleep, has some curious as well aorcible ideas on the necessi ty of devoting midnight to rest and sleep. He considers that the period of twenty-four hours, Which is produced by the regular revolution of the earth on its axle, marks its influence most definitely on the physical economy of man. Diseases show this regular influence, in their daily rise and fall. Settled, regular fever ex hibits a twenty-fiur hours' flux and reflux. In the healthful state, there is manifest the same regular influence, and the more habitual our meals, our hougs of exercise or employment, and our hours of sleep, the more power is there in the system totesist disease. In the morning the pulse is slow and the nerves calmer, and the mpind and ,boy better fitted for labor. As we advance towards the evening of the day,the pulse becomes aexelerated, and an almost fever ish state is prod d, which in excitable per sons, it becomes ai absolute evening fever, Rest carries off this fever hy its sleep, and the. re freshing opening of the pores which sleep pro duces. In this nightly respiration, there is an absolute crisis oFthis evening fever, and this periodical crisis is necessary to every one, for it carries off w~atever useless or pernicious particles our b dies may have imbibed. This evenink fever, Huferland thinks, is not entirely owing to the accession of new chyle to the system, kut to the departure of the sun and the light. The crisis of this fever, to be most effective byits regularity, ought to take place at midnighlt:when the sun is in its nadir, and then the body becomes refreshed for the early morning labor. Those who neglect this period either push this diurnal crisis into the morning and thus undermine the importance of its regu larity, or lose it entirely and arise to their labors unrefreshed by sleep. Their bodies will not have been purified by the nightly crisis,and the seeds of disease will have thus been planted. Nervous people are peculiarly subject to the influence of this evening fever, and think they cannot labor ,without its excitement. Hence their mental efforts are performed in theiright alone, the important time for the crisis of their nervous excitezment passes over in wakefulness,' and no refreshing perspiration cleanses the body or strengthens the nerves. Such people will wear out s60o, unless they change their habits and seek rest whenanature and the hu man Eonstitution dictate. These conside?tions ought to be deeply studied and regarded by all who are ir the ruinous habit of turning night into day and of changing the functions of each. A failure of health will soon manifest the truth of these remarks, VIRGINIA.-The gold miningl interest of Vir ginia, it appears, is more extensive than many persons are.aware. The Petersburg Intelli gencer gives the following names, locality, and estimated value of some of the most prominent mines, also by whom they 'are wqrked and owned: Garnett & Moseley, Buchingham county, owned by an English company, $500,000;Buck ingham mines, Buckingham county owned by an American company, $200,000. Ayes' mines Buckinghamcounty, not worked,$2 000. Tel lureum mines, Fluvanna county, owned by com. Stockton, $200,000. Long Island mines, Flu vanna county, owned by Virginia Stockton, $75,000. Snead mines, Fluvanna county, not worked, $25,000. Belzora mines, Goochland county, owned by English, $25,000. Columbia mines, Goochland county, not worked, $15,000. Aigle D'Or mines, Gooehlar"county,owned by English, $100,000. Wallamines, Goochland county, $100,000. Goode mines, Goochland county, not worked, $0t00n0. Whitehall mines, Louisa county, not worked, $20,000. Vancluse mines, Orange county, owned by English, $250,000. Gardiier mines, Orange county, owned by Americans, $50,000. Woodville mines, Orangepeintity, owned by Americans, $100,000. "The above eimprises a large majority of the mines. .ýse 'not worked' are either in dis pute or e lying idle for want of capital. There are mas other mines opened, but not sold,their _wners do not understand operating them, e.iither have they capital." The Boston Traveller says: "Probably the only manlfacture in the northern states which is carried on profitably at the present time is that of rum, and this was never so profitable as at the present time. The distilleries all through the country have orders for many weeks and months ahead, at prices which yield them a hundred per cent. profit. This state of things has been occasioned by the prohibition of the distillation of grain in France and Belgium, which has eautsedilarge orders from these coun tries for rum from the United States. Every packet ship from New York for France and Ger many now carries out all the rum which can be had in the market as part of her cargo. The arl cle sells at 47 @ 48 cents a gallon, and the profit may easily be calculatig when it is known that the molasses costs but little more than 20 cents a gallon, and 100 gallons of molasses willmake 5 gallons rum.

E. 3. Hiart e & Co., 79 Tchoupitoulas street, in whose estab L- lishment the fire originated. e It is proof of the enterprise and energy of n the firm that the ruins of the old establishment d have been cleared away and a new, more e beautiful and more convenient one erected in its d stead, filled with almost every variety of goods e and wares. We called at the new stores, occu n pying the old site, a day or two since, and were )f shown through the different rooms and depart . ments, and had explained to us the particulars s of a trade as varied and extensive as any in New Orleans. Probably an outline of what so , highly interested us- will prove of interest to our readers. d The buildings at present occupied by Messrs. e E. J. Hart & Co., Nos. 77 and 79 Tchoupitou e las street, are four stories high, and are admira 'r bly arranged with reference to the needs of e business, and are stocked from the lower floor o to the roof with an immense assortment of )f different wares. The two buildings open into, e one another on the lower floor, through large r and spacious arches hi the masonry, and are n thrown into one in the second, third and fourth y stories. The ground floors are filled with gro. . ceries in bulk, which convey a very favorable idea of the state of the produce market in this b section of country. In the rear of the lower e part of store No. 77 is a large space appor n tioned for putting up ship and steamboat stores, .r which is occupied by broken packages of every .- thing needed. As much attention is paid to l1 this department of business by Messrs. Hart &- & Co., the orddrs are sometimes exceedingly h heavy. I. The front portion of one of the stores, on the e second floor, is occupied by a huge and com-. - modious counting room, the front of the other Lt is used for a sample room. The sample room d is a miniature of the entire establishment, where purchases can be made without going out. There are -specimen jars of pickles, pre e serves and pastry fruits, jars of butter, jams and oils, bottles of brandies, wines, whisky, e cologne and rum, samples of cigars, candy, tobacco, tea, soap and a thousand other un f named necessities. A large portion of the t second and third stories of No. 77 are devoted 1 to drugs, . essential oils, surgical instruments ,r and other things pertinent to that branch of business. Near the drug department, in the n third story, is an immense stock of all kinds of e wines and liquors, some of it very old, very r valuable, and very excellent. On the fourth t' floor is stored willow ware, straw and other e wrapping paper, with many miscellaneous arti g cles. d The facilities afforded to country merchants s for making almost all their purchases at one e time and place is not equalled in this city and has a nitural consequence of drawing many - there. We trust the energy, industry and en *t terprise of the firm will enable them shortly to " forget the fiery ordeal through which they re - cently passed-and from which they have so n instantly arisen. The firm of E. J. Hart & Co,.. S consists of E. J. Hart, I. N. Marks and B. B. 'r Hart, and gives employment to twenty-two s persons aside from the partners.

SCOTT.-Un der this head the New York Courier and En t quirer says: "a tardy act of justice has at last I been performed by this government, and this country is itself honored by the particular mark of honor which congress has paid to gen. Winfield Scott, by conferring upon him the rank of lieutenant general, never before con s ferred in our service except to gen. Washing - ton, the commander of our revolutionary army. Fully and nobly has gen. Scott won the high honor, and most justly is he entitled to it, by a long career of illustrious and gallant service t which has won for his country an enduring 1 renown, and secured for himself an imperisha ble fame. We long since urged his claim to this honor, ael in common with every right r feeling citizen of the United States, we now heartily rejoice that he has received it. And it is also a subject for greater congratulation that many of those who voted for conferring the honor were bi:ter political opponents of gen. Scott, but who by their act have ac knowledged that there is at least one great na tional sentiment which transcends all party politics-the sentiment of gratitude to a faith ful servant of his country. Long may gen. Scott live to wear the title and enjoy the honor of lieutenant general of the army of the Uni ted States." All acid foods, drink, medicine and tooth. washes and powders, are very injurious to the teeth. If a tooth is put under cider, vinegar, lemon juice, or tartaric acid, in a few hours the enamel will be completely destroyed so that it can be removed with the finger nail as if it were chalk. Most have experienced what is commonly called teeth set on an edge. The explanation of it is, the acid of the fruit that has been eaten has so far softened the enamel of the teeth, that the least pressure is felt by the exceedingly small nerves which pervades the thin membrane which connects the enamel and the bony part of the tooth, Such an ef fect cannot be produced without injuring the enamel. True, it will become hard again, when the acid has been removed by the fluids of the mouth, just as an eggshell that has been softened in this way, becomes hard again by being put in the water. When the effect of sour fruit on teeth subsides, they feel as well as ever, but they are not as well. And the oftener it is repeated, the sooner will the disastrous consequences be manifested, The has appointed the hon. Char, H. Morson, receiver of publicmoneys at Mon roe, Ouachita.
