ARTHUR., Andrew Marvel was a merchant to whom his neigh bors applied the word "thrifty." Ilfe had been in business fur only arfew years; yet in that tithe, he had made a great deal of money. Mainly, the thrift of Andrew Marvel was the result of great shrewd ness, industry, culla knowledge of trade. It was alsi) dependant, in pall, on his habit of driving close bargains, and gettin, whenever it was possible to do se, some advaotago • in every transaction. Su that he gtiitted, he too rarely stopped to consider who lost—that is, he did not atop to consider while in the warmth and eagerness-of business. •Then, his love of gain ruled his actions. • • Hut, in earlier years, Marvel had-received instruc tion from the lips of one who taught hint to repeat the Golden Rule, and this axed that heavenly pre cept in his memory. It was, therefore, impossible for him to act with dis -, 101041Y, and not, in some af termoment, when his cirpidities were at rest, feel a sense of di,quitude therefor. pe could not gain a worldiradviintage of this kind, without losing so•tie portion of self respect,sand that pea at conscience without which no one can be happy. In the gains of Mr. Marvel, there was, therefore, a lose, and that a serious one—a loss of which he was too often conscience—a loss that troubled him. Strung m the lone of money;and eager fur its accilintilationas a means or rarppineso, our mer chant in acqdiring earthly treasure, was like a man who builds a house, and uses, in its eredOonj a par tion.of bad materials, thus making the whole stric ture defective, and destroying all his pleasure in the ni.e of the bail ling*. lle was getting ;doh fast Lie was investing money year idler year. i And yet ac companying his possessMns was a feeling of disqui etude, a want of self-approval and 4 . ol . ..satisfaction. And there , were times when, thinking over some of his business deeds, he felt positively unhappy., Andrei! Marvel, at the time we have introdneed him to the reader, was writ) over eig:ity thoiniund dollars. Forty thousand ofithis sum was invested in six per cent, paying bonds and mortgages, and the remainder was in his business. -His family con sisted of only himself and wife; and their tvbole ex pense of living did not exefed two thousand dollars per annum. ff 'Now the whole'immint tSf this property acquired by over-reaeliing his business,. did not llceeit, if esery little item of fraudulent gait' had been fairly counted; ten thousand dollars. Had Marvel been strictly honest, man with man, in all his dealings. he would have been worth seventy thousand dollars. But, his selfish desire to have more Than his own share, led him. fur an additional ten thousand, to mar all real enj qment of the seventy thousand. Could he have obliterated from his mind the true precepts he had learned as a child--could he have I husked the whivers of e inscienci?, heard in the si 11efiCe of his heart Ether he had write 1 away froao the busy world, he might have better enj iyed his wealth• nt that was impo4sible. - One day a gontletnin called uprln Mr. Marvel, an said to hint: II ": widow, a friend of min has ten shares of stock that she wishes to sec . The income from this is tot) titian to be of any value to her, and she is forced to part with ii, in order to meet the present and pressing wants of her family. Do you wish to buy?" • %. • "What stock is it?" asked theftierchant. '•`)1 Thn name of the Company was mentioned. tl ' "What - does she ask for ill" ' "She will sell at the market price.' . "What is that?" "I saw a broker josi now, and he said that. It was worth eighty dolja'rs." • \ Eighty was the quotation of the previous day.—, lat o t Marvel knew that an advance had taken place, and the true value of the shares was eighty,-five • dollars.. c .., "very well,',' said lie, with a pleasant feeling at I the t t aught of making fi fty ttoliars by the transac tion i c'onscquence of the gentleman's ignorance of the real value of the stock. ..rn take - the scrip.— r\l When do you want th'e in me yr , "As \ soon as the transfer can be made." "11l ive you a check at any_i_noment," said Mar vel. , So the / transfer was madejithouti delay, and the stock be ame the merchant's. "That much gained," said he to hinrelf, as he placed // he certificates carefully'in his fire-proof.— "I should like to enter, a kransaction,,like this every day. / The stock is worth eighty-five. Sy there are fifty' dollars clear. Howareivas not so wide awake as'usual. notate sf l oCit was none of his. It is the ,poor widow, who has to sufrtr. A nice man, truly, ,to have the widow's interest in charge!" " There was a sudden depression in the thermometer of Andrew Marvel's feelings, at this last mental ex clamation. A poor widow, bad been `wronged—iii plain words, cheated—out of fifty dollars. Who had done this? Who was guilty of so 'mean' an act of dishonesty? Why, Andrew Marvel! The trans action was a mirror, in which the merchant saw him self reflected, and with a -feeling, of shame at his SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 26, 1850. heart, ho tried to turn hislyes away from the Hite ness so little flattering to'tho good opinion of himself the so fondly cherished. t'lt was a fair business transaction," he a Ll to himself; in the struggle fur self-approval. But that Wutsld nut do. - "The fiteek was ofibred rat eighty dollars, and I I I bought it. Was there anything wrong in that! It was a goo bargain for me, I own; but every man is entitled tr thle . best.bargain . he can make.?' Still, tffe merchant felt uncomfortable: lie had wronge4 a widow, whose slender income was insuf ficient.for the Support of her family,''but of fi fty dol lars. That was the plain truth; and gloss It over as he would, he could not make it look any better. Thus stood the account of lose and gain in that matter. . The sleep of Andrew 4larvel was not always sound It too frequently happened, that, ere his senses were locked in sweet furgetfulnees, there would intrud - 3 upon his mind the thought of something that he had done, through the day, while he was absorbed in the sphere of gain, that produced a genie of uneasiness; and, oppressed with this feeling; he would turn upon his luneasy pillow sometimes for, hours. It was SO on the night that foilowePhis purchase of the widow's stock. lie had lost far more than he had gained, and the trouble of this would not let him rest; At length, after many unhappy hours, na ture gave way, and he sunk into a troubled slumber. But, 'the current of hit, thoughts went on, uncontrol led now 'by reason:and the real things aroudd To a certain extent: he lived over very many scenes in his life, and some of the actors I n them were face to face with him again.By this one he was charged with overreaching in a certain transaCtion; by that one convicted of falsehood in some business operation, that he might acquire an advantage; and by another pointetat its specioue' villain. At length his crowd of accisers passed away, and hia was left abine with his own unhappy reflections. Not long alone, how ever, for the door of the room in which he seemed to he setting o opened, and a woman, in widow's weeds, ce?e - slowly in. Though he had never seen the per son from whom he had bought'the stock on the pre vious day, lie knew this to be her, By the hand she held' two little children, pearly clad. They were weeping. The woman ajyroached and stood before him. For a little while she looked at him with a fixed expression. Then she said, in a severe tone. "There were fifty dollars gained. Mr, Marvel—, fifty dollars gained from the small remnant left to The wigmr and or?hans. Bit how ranch was lost. Have you taken that into accunnt I Loss of honesty; toss of self-respect; lose of peace; and, worse than all, so much lost to. heaven. With whom do you expect to live hereafter, Mr. Marvell With the lov ing, unselfish, true-minded angels; or, With the over reaching, dishrinnest, cruel-.hearted spirits who can not enter heaven? It must come to this at last,— There were fifty dollars gained, Mr. Ma • but, how much lost? Can you estimate that?" The merchtint heard no inure in his dream. Shud dering, he awyke . with beads of cramtnyperapiration on his forelmad. On the next day, Marcel enclosed the witliWv fifty i dollars, saying to her, In the note accompanying the stun, that he (wind, mfenquiring, that her stock wills worth just that, much more than he paid -her for it To screen himself from being thought by her what he really was—dishonest at heart—he evaded the 1 truth in los act - of restitution. But; so far as the 1 act went, it was good. The merchant felt !letter, I therefor; and enj eyed the property he had purchas ed far more than if his right to it had been vitiated by the right of another therein. AndreW Marvel weld nut forget his dream; nor help recurring, now and again, to the profit and loss 1 1 account that was posted up in the Book 9f memory. And, whenever he looked at this acco u nt, lie 4.as _ou t tAircly unhappy.

Cut, whatever is written in the Book of Memory, is a permanent a re ird. 113 could nut rattan the past ; ' nor obliterate from his mind the c mscilmsneis,that a portion of the wdrldly wealth he possessed was at the expense of dishonetity and wrong to others. I i several cares, he made secret restitution, thus light ening the pressure that was on him. But a portion of the weight could lint be removed; and thus the abundance of this world's good things that were gathered around him. were hut half enjoyed, because a portion was not justly his own,. Sd much fur loss and gain.—.lrthar's Gazette. Good all Round. Mr. Buckinham, in hieteminiscences states that during the first session of Congress, the la i te John Russell, who bad done so much in the Ceniind wa tJs the adoption of the Federal Constitution in 'Massachusetts, wrote to the Department of State, 901-ring to publish all elle laws and other official, ANctimenta gratuitously—the country being almost, bankrupt. They were acccordingly transmitted to him and published in the C. lumbian Centind "by authority." At the end of several years he was call ed upon for his bill. It was made out and in com pliance with his pledge, was receipted. On 'being informed of the fact, Geo. Washington said: "This must not be. When Mr. Russell ofeered to publish the laws without pay, we were poor, It wos a gen erous ofrer. We are now ablO to pay our debts.— This is n debt of honor and must be discharged."— A few days after, Russell received a check for sev ep thousand dollars—.the full swot of his bill.

The practicability of navigating the air by means of a flying machine has censatisfaetorily demon strated and settled, as he thinks, by Mr. John Tag'- gart, of Charlestown, Mass., who is at present to be seen with his invention, at Dunlap's Hotel, 135 Fulton -street. The flying machine consists of a' car, to the front of which is attached a pair of wings somewhat like the screws used by propellors, and a float or balloon fastened to the car in the ordinary way, at an elevation of _six or eight (Vet. The . wings, whith may be move d i in any direction, so as to assist in the ascent or descent of the machine, are put in motion by turning 'a small axle running through the centre of he car. The machine may be guided in any direction by means of a rudder, the slightest variation in which it obeys with wonderful precision. The float or balloon, which is pearshap cd, is thirty-three feet nine inches in height, having a diameter of some twelve feet; and the whole weight of the machine, when ready fur ascension, is three hundred and fifty pounds, in addition to which it will carry with ease over one thousand pounds. The inventor told us that he had already madeione ascension in it, for the purpose of practi catty testing its powers. The ascent iron] the com mons at Lowell, Mass., in the presence, of a large number of spectators. ,Owing to some fault of in flating the balloon, a quantity of steftin Was allowed to interm4 with the gas, thus greatly diminishing its buoy, aney, so that when the ropes which held it to the ground were cut. the machineascentled only to the height of a few feet, when it fell down, to the imminent peril of the occupant. Aftet twU or three ineffectual attompts, Mr. Taggart el4ated the wings considerably above the line of thelcar, which had the desired effect, and away went the machine, - far above the heads of the spectators, until he had dwindled in their gaze to the size of a swat: low. After attaining a considerable elevation; Mr. Taggart proceeded in the direction of Lawrence, whence he pissed to Andover and Bradford,, over which latter place he struck a current of air which carried him, at a rapid i rate, to Redding. From this again he ,passed to Salem, having crossed a, portion of aid sea In his passage fromßedding,and alighted at a distance of nine miles from Low ellsacco mplishing the whole voyage in an hott and twenty minutes. Mr. Taggart says, that at one time he had abtained an elevation where the air be- Caine so verified that it was with the grAte.t diffi culty he could retain his powers_ of animation; his haudr, and other parts of his body, swelled, and blood spurted from his mouth and nose. The in vention, he tells us, has met with the support and countenance of several of the scientific men in NtoO sachttsetts. It is the intention of slr.Taggart to make an ascent 'from:this city,in the course of two or tkite weeks. He has already invited some of our most, eniment machinists, * arid men of science, to examine his invention.—Euerting Post. while con CiX,tiano." )f hia experi. ing.

A boy bag as much as Ifs can do to p6e up a load of wood; assist him- a few mo ment!s, or speak a pleasant word, and he forgets his toil and works away without minding it—Your op pren ice has broken a mug, or cut the- - vest too &Agr i or slightly inj !red a-piece otwork; say,"You scoul drel" and he feels miserable; but remark "I am s , rry," and he will try to da better. You em ploy e\!,1 31 ,.....pay him cheerfully; and speak a pleas ant word to him, and he leaves jourhouse with a contented heart, to light up his own hearth with smiles and gladness. Pleasure is cheap—who would not bestow it liber ally'', 1f: there are smiles, sunshine, and flowers fur 411 of us, let us nut grasp them with a miser's fist, and lock them up in our hearts. . No! Rather let us take them and scatter them about us in the cot of the Witluw, among the groups of•children, in the crowded mart, where men- of business ;•congre gate,, in our .. families, and everywhere.

Must we not trace all other blessings of civilized , life to,the doors of our private dwellings? Arc not our heCith-stones guarded by the holy forms or conjugal, filial, and parental love, the corner stones of Church and State; more sacred than eith- more necessary than butlh? Let our temples crumble, and our academies decay: let every pub lic edifice, our balls of justice, and our capitals of state, be 'leveled to the dust; but spare our homes. Let no socialist invade them with his wild plans of community. Man did not Invent, and we cannot improve or abrogate them., A private shelter to! cover in two hearts dearer to each other than all the world, high walls to exclude the profane eyes of ev ery human being; seclusion enough for children to' feel that' mother is a holy and peculiar name—this is home; and hero is the birth-place of every virtu ;l ous impulse, of 'every Booed thought.

The mother is worth a thousand friends; one sister truer and dearer than twenty intimate companions. We who have played-on the same hearth, Udder the light of the, same smile ) who date back to the same scenes season of innocence and hope, in whose veins runs the same blood, do we not tint that years only make more sacred and more important the tie that binds us?

The Union—Slavery—California. tl'IT to the Buffalo Daily Courier We have the pleasure this morning of laying be. fore our readers an eloquent and powerful extract, from a volume of Lectures ocoarious topics, by our townsman, theller. Dr.'l.oltD, soon to be published in handsame form by Messrs. G. H. kstanr Co. of this city. This extract is specially pertinentat this time, and is a manly rebuke to\ the spirit of dia. union that has latterly been manifested by the fanat ics and demagogues of the country. We commend it lo the perusal of every individual who cherishes, awi for the harmony and perpetuity of the Union. A doom like that of Uzzah will overtake those who under the pretence of steadying and securing, profanely touch the ark of the union of the Ameri can States. The disunionist is not only a traitor to his country, but to humanity itself, aiming a blow at the land of his birth and the government to which he ows allegiance—he is guilty of high treason agsinst his race ) Who In the several places of their bondage and from every wall of their captivity, have still a hope to cheer them in the permanence of uur Institutions, in the perpetuity of our Union. Shall that flag fail from the sea where stairs and stripes in every bay and - river of the globe are symbols of hope to the Nations? Shall that dominion be bro ken, which is the sole asylum of the unnumbered exiles who flee from political oppression? Shall that Republic be dismembered which throws the .I.lzi of its protection, over the vanquished patriot, of Buroil'e whn'enspe from the axe and the gibbet— Toe et' nt whose bounds Edops and calls Lack her battled hounds?" May Heaven avert such a consummation and writ,* upon the Union of these Stater, "este perpetua." But passing from political considerations and this Calculations of commerce, wealth and population, let us turn to — tbe higher interests of our common hu= mnnity; let us consider the moral influence destined to be exerted by the settlement of this continent; let ua notice the great ends which the )vine Provi dence is about to-accomplish in this rapid movement of our population westward to California—the gold en land. When the northern portions of this new world were first settled, two widely different races of men were brought together by the will of God, to (sect* the territory provided for them—the English Puri tan and the African Negro. The former, after a desperate conflict with political-and ecclesiastical despotism, and a partial triumph over both, was com pelled at last, by the stern hand of persecution, to expatriate himself to the wilderness of North Amer ica;—the latter was stolen from his barbarous home, himself the most stupid of barbarians, and forced by the British Government upon their colonies on this nontinent. The one had been trained and disciplin ed in a severe vchool for many generations, to fit him to found an empire on the basis of civil and re ligious liberty—the other had been a servant of ser vants in Otitis generations. The two extremes of the human family were thus brought together—th e most enlightened and the most ignorant: these whe :had been in training for two centuries for the work of human regeneration, and those who presented the 11 - lowest point of depression of which Our, nature is capable, and were thought by some to occupy a m id die place between animals and men. The purpose for which these two races—the antipodes of human nature—were *driven to this continent—the one .by persecution, the other be piracy—begins already to appear. The one is destined to bear to the most t benighted portion of the earth, to' barbarous Africa, the English language, literature, and taws—the oth er to introduce through the gates of the Pacific the same gifts to semi-civilized and pagan Asia. The African. Christianized and civilized, even in his ser vile condition , is now cOlottizing hack to Africa, and . , proving his natural equal i ty with h is more fortunate 1 brethren, by founding free States in imitation of our ' own on the western coast of that great continent, in which civil and retigions liberty are secured;arid Brder and law prevail as fully as in the land where, from a bondage of nearly swo hundred years, he has I commenced his exodus. Alter the lapse of ages of 1 degradation, it free African State at length appears i —the herald of a brighter day for that benighted and oppressed continent. Along a Coast, haunted but yesterday by the slave-trader and his floating hells, the flag of Liberia waves in the breeze; the thunder of her cannon startles the min-stealer, who, driven from his haunts, is lighted in his flight by the blaze of his burning prisons. The miked. Negro from the interior gazes with wonder upon civilized and Chris tian men of his own color, and asks, as the greatest of fat ors, the privilege of surrendering his tetritory, and being received under the jurisdiction of those wini appear to him as Gods-"the sto , y• of Whose prowess, the history of whose stork of liberation, he Carries back with him -to distant tribes, who receive the message with a joy like that of the shepherds of Galilee, when voices from Heaven proclairnid the advent of Him whose mission was "peace on earth and good will to men." But while the descendants of Ham return to the East fmm the place appointed for them, and front among the people who l 4ere to qualify them for the mission of regeneration to Africa, their Anglo-Seft on Master and teacher is urged westward by provi dential incentives selfish have no parallel in history and which have brought him at last to the Pacific Ocean, the" terminus of western migration. Over the rocky riateintaitis the tide of population has been driven as by the hand of God. What if the remains of the dead strew the way—what if the solemn path of divine cippolntment be batized in blood and tears -.What though the cry of the mourner Is mingling ,with thevoiee of triumph and conquest.—what though with herculean labor, with sufibrings greater than those endured by his progenitors on the Eastern cm's', the Emigrant forces his way over Desert and Mountain, to his heritage in the West; is he not fulfilling his destiny? Are not the ends secured greater than all the sacrifices made? Shall not the solitary plat!) be glad for them and the desert be come as a garden of the bordl ‘Vhen was any great enterprise accomplished without pain and peril? When were the nations col onized without eating the bread of affliction and drinking from the cup of tears? What birth of Em pires without throes that have shaken the eartfi as when a mountain has been upheaved by the fires of a Volnot What great reformation has made its way ,lon g a path of flowers and by rivers of quie tude? What important end has, in, the Divine Prov idence, been aecomelished without heroic sacrifices,
