I have stoo l beside the mother when tlie terrifying intelligence of her infant's death was announced to her, diid she bent over its iifeles form und wipe i away th cold Jcth dnno af fection as she gaZed ujun its glassy, m tiouless eye sunk beneath its hilf closed lid mnl its graceful limbs Imd and stiffened by the touch of death. I have listened to her stifled shriek, and seen her turn awiiy from this lust rem nant of mortality, a ione, desolate, and heart-stricken being. From the first moment of that infant's existence her heart strings had been twining around it. until every holy feel ing thai a mothers' love knows every cherished idea of purity and virtue and innocence were centered upon it, so that in its death she heard tlie knell of all her hopes, of all her bright visions of the future. The hope that he was to soothe her sorrow in after years by his filial love, was crushed, the cherished expectation that he would watch by her bed-side ai the hour of her departure to close her achiug eyes, to whisper her farewell. "To breathe a deep s.gh to winds that mur mur low, And think on a.l htr love and all her wo," ws swept away, and she was left, bereft of solace, and sadly convinced that her hopes were 'as the baseless fabric of a vision.' Oh! who can measure the extent of a mother's deep and sacred love for her offspring! It cannot know change! j It gushes forth in its holy power as she watches the couch, of slumbering inno cence; it lives ia freshness and beautv when her child has assumed tlie stations and duties of manhood; au I when lime wrinkles the features and palsies the hand, it ebbs not! her last prayer is lhat ?i:!J-45,'TeIstM!; her last look 0f cuderrie.s is for him aloue! x Starting in the World. jinjran unwise parent labors hard and liver5 PJ,,Jkly all his life, for the pur p0f? of leaving enough to give his chil (r(n a start in the world, as it is culled.

' In tlie war o 1812, the volunteers of the St.te of Awnsvlvania nrornotlv oh y 'l tl;e authorities, vKr a .aiV av,;s nsn upon tlpm for tlieir setvices t a ln I our shores from invasion. The sane spirit lht urg-d every true-hearted Am ric dii to abandon his domestic cir de and Iiis daily business, and girdle on the sword or shoulder the musket, still onim tes the bosoms of the present gen eration. At the first tan of the drum a thousands started up. ready and anxious for any emergency, either to repel an ag gression, or to chastise an insolent fe. Many sacrifices, no doubt, would be willingly made of personal comfort and of pecuniary profit; but if in the hour ol need, personal sacrifices weigh not a leather with the American, as the nast and the present strongly exemplifies. Anmng the many companies in this city, whose services were accepted du ring the last war, there was one com nos ed entirely of gentlenen and merchants of Philadelphia, under the command of Captain J!o-c a fine spirited gentleman, wnose memory is cherished by a larae circle of former companions in arms and hssooiales in business. It was a ircop of horse, called the Fist Citv Troop a corps established, during the revolution, an I winch still preserves tfce flag borne upon the fields of Princeton and Trenton. The writer of this sketch was a member of that troop many years. and he well remembers the sensation of pride when gazing upon that war-worn trophy; and no doubt the same sentations throb the breasts of the youthful mem bers, when tlie sacred banner is unfurled. During the war, this fine corps, ad mirably equipped and well mounted, act ed as videttes between the Chesapeake Pay, and the scene of strife, and the trooj'sof Gen. Cadwallader. They were posted at the head of E'.k, at a place called Mount Ball, a very exposed sta tion, wirhin a view of the British fleet which then infested the waters of the Chesapeake. Upon one occasion, on Saturday, after the troop had been mustered and gone through th"ir drill the. horses wre picketed an I the regular oiler of mili tary drill was being performed a stran ger in the garb of a countryman, was seated nn a rail, knocking his heels against the fence, apparently a careless spectator of the various scenes before him., when, being observed by Rose, he addressed him with the inquiry, 'who he was, and what be wanted. The stranger, with a remarkable tone, and many ex- . pressions peculiar to the genuine Yan- ii r . r - . , ; " , kee nül. oft so far uth replied , that he lived hard by; and wanted to see the surgeon of the trocp.as he had a black boy with him, who he was fearful hud the small pox, and before he took him among his other hands, he wanted to b certain of it. Capt. Rose, after scruti nizing the man for a moment or 60, re plied that th. re was no surgeon attached to his troop, but plenty of first rate doc tors, whose patients were suffering in Philadelphia for the want of their ser vices, and pointed out one of these gen tlemen, at that moment busily engaged in cleaning off his charger. Doctor, drop your curry-comb, unl come here a moment here's a patient for you.' The doctor promptly obeyed the sum mons, and in company with Mr. S , commenced making a professional exam ination of the boy, which resulted in a very satisfactory declaration that there was no symptoms of the fatal dis.-asc spoken of, it being a common rash o v ing to the. season. The farmer appear' highly delighted, all sorts of remunera tion in the shape of chickens, ducks, geese, &c, were offered if they would visit him. The sun was at that moment sinking behind the horizon, and the long shailows indicated the near approach of night. After gazing a moment at the waters of the bay and his little punt or dug out 'See here, gentlemen it's a long row to my place, with the iJ against me I suppose I must stay here till morning. Oh certainly, old fellow, replied the Doctor, and Mr. S., come to our quar ters we are going to tap a small basket of champaigne, sent to us by our friends in Philadelphia, and if you never tasted that beverage, you have the chance of a first rate liquid, which by Jupiter and the roaring boys, was called Nectar." The far-nr followed them, aud they were soon, at work, popping off corks, and imbibing the sparkling liquid, which he of the punt declared to be the real stuff, and no mistake. A dead set was made upon the man of the chickens, but his head appeared tobe proof against the most violent assaults.drawing forth, how ever some qualities of which his figure had given no evidence. He sung admi- I rable songs, in which sailors and saucy tars were the heroes, whieh so captivated our troopers, that th?y made him repeat them over and thus passed convivially the better parr of the night, when they fell to sleep without any preparations of the toilet, except doffing the belt and casque. In the morning, the stranger, now be come familiar with his friends of the last j nights convivial party, loitered about the .out, iiTiojt wtii.tii.ifi-ji7..fcfr.1' ed the parade, and after drill even assist ed the doctor and his friend Mr. S. to rub and curry their horses. Towards night-fall he departed with his negro, and after a time his little boat slowly re ceded upon the waters, turned a point, and was lost to view. Som? time after the troops were recalled to Philadelphia, and were there discharged. The enemy after their attack on Baltimore, with drew all tlieir forces from the waters of the Chesepeake, to concentrate upon New Orleans, where they received a ter rible chastisement for their robberies up on the defenceless inhabitants of the bays and creeks of Maryland and Virgin ia. Dr. II . and Mr. S , th" two gents spoken of as the entertainers of the Susquehanna farmer, in ide a voy age to Gibralter in a fine vessel, as su percargoej, and upon their return to the United States with fair prospects of real izing a handsome profit, were overhaul ed by the Southampton frigate, and cap tured. They were both transferred to the decks of the British man-of-war, and whilst seate I apart upon a gun carriage, bemoaning their ill luck and wondering what would be done with them, thtir at tention was drawn to the officer of the deck, who had stopped before them once or twice anil examined them with great attention. As he passed them again he was heard to mutter some words which were very familiar to our ftiends. "Threes about, troop right dress wheel in line, march.' 'Why, II ,' said Mr. S . do you hear that fellow curse me if he is not going through a troop drill. He must be a horse marine.' At that moment, the officer stepped up to them, and after gazing at them a few moments with a comical expression, said: 'Gents, you have got into a fix.' 'Yes, Sir,' replied the Doctor 'your assertion is very self-evident, and what is worse, we see no way of getting out of it. You are from Philadelphia, hey? you have a fine troop of horses, called the 'First City Troop,' par excellence com manded byCharles Boss.' Our friends made, no reply to tliis, wondering the while how a lieutenant on board His Majesty's ship should know anything about these old troops. And further he continued, you have some good fellows in that troop, who know how to crack a bot'le of charnpigne, and tell whether a black boy has got the small pox or not.' The last observation quickly recalled to both of them th in cident above narrated, and starting to their feet, they asked him how he knew anything about this troop and that inci dent of the black boy and champaigne. The officer then coming up close to them said, smilingly. 'Gentlemen. I knew your faces the moment I Ret eyes upon you; I was a spy in your camp for ' two days; I was second officer on board the Endymon, under the command of Ad miral Cockburn; disguised as you saw me with that black boy, hired for the occa sion, I visited your out posts, and it was ! I who spent such a jovial night with you ' on the shores of the Chesepeake. Now le.'sseeifl cannot return the compli ment. Come to my mess, and though I have no champaigne, yet there is some- thing in the locker to treat a clever fel low with.' They were treated whilst on board ! with the greatest kindness, and through tht intercession of this officer were re leased and shortly after returned to the United States. HARD OF Hi: AIUJtG. A LOVE STOKY. A Young Jonathan once courted tlie daughter of an old man that lived down east, who professed to deaf but for sooth; was more captious than limited in hearing as the sequel will show. It was a stormy night in the id's of March, if I mistake not. when lightning, and loud peals of thunder answered thun der that Jonathan sat by the old man's fireside, discussing with the old lady, (his intended mother-in-law,) on the ex pediency of asking the old man's permis sion to marry Sal.' Jonathan resolved to 'pop it' to the old man the next day. Night passed, and by the dawn of anoth er day, the old man was found in bis barn-lot, feeding his pigs. Jonathan rose from his bed early in the morning, spied tlie old man feeding his pigs, and resolved to ask him for Sal. Scarce had a minute elapsed, after Jonathan made his resolution, ere he bid the old man 'good morning.' Now Jon athan's heart beat; now he. scratched his head, and ever and anon gave birth to a pensive yawn. Jonathan declared he'd, as lief take thirty-nine 'stripes' as to ask the old man; 'but, said he aloud to him self, 'however, here goes it, a faint heart never won a fair girl,' and addressed the old man thus: I say, old man, I want to marry your daughter Old Man 'You want to borrow rry halter. 1 would loan it to?you, Jona than but my sou has Uken ilnnd poxjevC to the mill.' Jonathan Putting his month close to the old man's ear, and speaking in a deaf ening tone 'I've got five hundred pounds of money!' Old man Stepping bck as if greatly alarmed, and exclaiming in a voice of snrprise 'You have got five hundred pounds of honey Jouathan? Vhy, it is more than all the neighborhood has use for.' Jonathan not yet the victim of des pair, and putting his mouth to the old man's ear bawled out I've got gold. Old Man 'So have I. Jonathan, and ii is the worst cold I ever had in my life.1 So saying, he sneezed a 'wash up. By this time the old lady came up, and having observed Jonathan's unfortu i.ate luck, she put her mouth close to the fild man's ear, and screamed like a woun--'d Yahoo- 'Daddy, I say Daddy you don't un derstand; he wait's to marry our daugh ter.' Old Man 'I told him our calf haller was gone.' Old Lady 'Why daddy, you don't un derstand he's got gold he's rich! Old Man 'He's got a cold and the itch eh! What's he doing here with the itch eh! So saying the old man aimed a blow at Jonathan's head with a walk ing cane but happily for Jonathan,- he dodged it. Nor did the rage of the old men stop at this, but with angry coun tenance, he made 'after Jonathan, who took to his heels: nor did Jonathan's luck stop here, he had i.3t got out of the barn yard, nor far from the old man, who run him a close race, ere Jonathan stumped hi toe and fell to the ground, and before the old man could 'take up,' he stumbled over Jonathan, and fell sprawling in a mud hole. Jonathan sprung to his heels and with the speed of John Gilpin, clear ed himself. And poor Sal! she died a ;iun. Aevcr had 710 husband. Tut Wild Woman. The Houston Telegraph notices the capture of the wild 1 " - - I woman of the Navida, relating to whom so much has been published. It says: A party of hunters who were out hun ting deer accidentally came upon the camp of this singular creature and captu red her. She is an African negress who fled to those wilds when the settlements were deserted just after Fanuing's de feat, and she has been wandering like an ourang outang for a period of about fif iein years. Her food during that period has con sisted of acorns, nuts, and other wild fruits, with sue. 1 other food as she could occasionally steal from the neighboring settlements. She cannot poak English, but converses freely with the Africans on the neighboring plantations. Thus is solved the mystery that has hitherto giv en a romantic interest to the story of the From Oregon.

So that, in fact, though there is a sort of monyed rank, it is not hereditary; it is accessible to all; three good seasons of cotton will send a generation of men up; a score of years will bring them all down, and send their children again to labor. The father grubs and grows rich; his children strut, and use the moner: their children inherit their pride, and go to shiftless poverty, their children re-in vigorated by fresh, plebian blood, and by ! fhe smell of the clod, come up again.
