THE OLD SOLDIER’S STORY A few days since: I stopped at a public house in Culrain; while;mv horse was eat ing, I Sat.down in the bar room and heard a sensible old man relate tlie substance of the enclosed account;. ‘.‘During the revolutionary war, there was .a point.ot land on the Jersey aide of the Hudson, and not far distant from N. York, ' which -was-the scene of a bloody conflict.— There were about three hundred, ncresnext to the river, from which the wood and tim ber had been cleared off; bac.k.of this was a heavy forest. On this cleared point, a large number of .fat cattle, destined to supply the American army, were placed. Four or five distant, in NeW Jersey, there were three, thousand light infantry, under the command of .Lafayette. , 1 was one of that detachment: Our business was to see that the cattle were not taken from the point by the,enemy. • One morning, intelligence was brought into camp; that several vessels had approach ed the point, ond that a large body of .Brit ish soldiers were landing'. My regiment was ordered to raarcji immediately fur the ■ point. ' Rufus Putnam, a nephew of the old General, was our Colonel. He was a brave officer. 1 could never discern that he was not just as self-possessed when going into battle as when sitting inhistent, Wo,made a hurried inarch and upon approaching tlie edge of the woods, the Colonel ordered tlie Adjutant to go forward and see where the troops were, and what was their number. — The Adjutant soon returned, and reported they were forming upon the shore- in three columns, and he should think, the columns contained I 'about one thousand each. ‘Then’,’ said the Colonel, ‘ride back to the camp as .soon as possible, and tell Lafayette to. copie on.’ When the.Adjutaht had gone. Colonel Putnam rode up to my Captain, .Daniel Shays,>and said shall we beplayingwith them until the General comes?’ ‘That-must be as you please,’ replied Captain Shays.’Or-. ders.were given to advance to the open lanij upon the point. We ndw stood face to'facc toour foes. Firing soon commenced. Cannon from the shipping in the river poured forth their vollies; and small arms-.did -fatal exe- Colonel Putnam rode back and forth'in front of; his regintent. as calm.as a man at-home, though the balls, wjere whist ’ling past him in everydirection. We had worked very fast, and for one regiment, made a great noise. The corporal at my right had' received a ball through the body, and tell dying; 1 was young, and a dying man at my,feet, blbeding and gasping, might cause ’ iny color to fade alittle; Captain Shays step-' ped forward, ‘George,? said lie, ‘never miiid it; I wjll take his place;’ and he was as good ■as his'.word, he took the corporal’s gun and used it.' Shays was the best Captain I,ever ’ served ’under.. Hewas hold and kind. I was loading my gun the twenty-second time, when General; Lafayette with the main body of the' fight'infantry issued*from the wood. , Nevcrshal 1-I.forget, the-feelingsoftliat ano nicnt. Welljligton was hardly more pleus cd..to see Blucherin the battle of'Waterloo, 'llian we were to see: our brothers in arms; The' main body formed at once; upon bur left.-s Lafayette rode forward, (an excellent officer; and never did he fill my eye so en tirely as at that moment,) though a stripling in appearance, in- action he was a man; and, had Cornwallis seen him as we then saw him, he would not have called him"We boy.’ As he approached? ‘Col. Putnam,’ said he, ‘how dared you fire before I'arrived?’ -‘Oh!’ said the Col, ‘1 thought I-would be playing with them a.littlei’ Lafayette at that mo ment seemed full of energy and life; turning tow&rds the. line, and with a-loud, distinct voice, markedly his French accent,‘-said he 'We fire no more—the whole line, charge Bayonet, rush onward and drive them where the: devil drove the hogs ' The efforts of his presence, and his words were astonishing) every heart beat quick and full. We did rush bn, and such a scene of carnage my eyes never saw.-; At first the British force charged to mieet us, but they could not stand - against us, and flcd. from the shbre; we tbl luwed them and’ilrove'tbem into the water; of the three thousand about fifteen hundred gutabpard the vessels. The rest, of them were slain, and most of them at tire point of the bayonet. _ . , • ■ . ‘ ..1 have described to you the most,painful ly interesting andjmrrid sceneT had ever witnessed. 1 never enjoyed killing men.—; 1 fought because 1 thought it to be my du ty.”— Greenfield Mercury. ■ The Escape of Mary. Queen of Scots, from Ziochleven Castle. - Since her interview with Murray,'the cap tive Queen had exerted all the powers of fascination which she so remarkably-posses'*' sed, to gain upon her keepers. The severe temper ,of the regent’s mother, the lady of •the castlc.lmd.yielded to their influence,, nnd her eon", George Douglas, the younger brother of Lochleven, being smitten by iher beauty, and flattered- by her. caresses, enthu siastically devoted Jii nisei f to'her interest. It Was even assertecUthat he had aspired to her hand, that his mother talked of. a divorce from Botliwell; ami, that Mary .never insen sible to admiration, and sul'icitpus to secure her services, did -.not cheek his hopes.' How ever, this may be,;. Douglas for some, time IwiTbent hjs. whole .mihu tg the: enterprise, and.on one occasion a little before this,' had nearly succeeded; but the Queen, who had assumed the address of a laundress, was de tected by the exlraordinary .whiteness of her hands, and carried back in’ the, boat, which; she .had entered, toiler prison. This disebv •ery had nearly ruined all, for Douglas was dismissed from Qie and Mary more strictly watched; but nothing could discour age her ow n enterprise, or live' zeal of her servant. He communicated wUh'iiord Sea ton'and Hie. Hamiltons; he carried on a se cret correspondence with the Queen; he se cured , the services of a page waited Upon his mother, called .litlle_ Duuglas. ; nnd by Jus, assistance at lengtlrellccted his pur pose, I; On the evening of the 2d ofiMa'y,’ t lis. youth, in placing a plate before the casr tellan, contrived todrbp Ills napkin dyer the Key of the gate of‘the castle, and carried it olf unperceivetl, He hastened to tile Queen, and hurrying down the outer gate,.they threw tliemaeives into the liuleboat.wliicli Jay’there fur the. service of the. garrison.— At that moment Bold Seating and some of her friends ,jy,ere iutcnUy.observingthe cas tle from their concealment un a neighboring, hill: a party waited . in . the village below, while nearer Bliira f nran;iay watching on. the briukpf.n They cbuld see a female figure with .two .glide 'swiftly from theouter gate. It was Mary herself, who, breathless with-delight and anxiety' sprang into the boat, holding a little girl (one of her maidens) by. the hand, while the page, locking the gate behind tlienvprevent ed immediate pursuit. . In a moment her white veil, with its broad red fringe, (tlie concerted signal of success,) was seen glanc ing in the sun, the. sign was recogliized and communicated, the little boat, rowed.by the -page and the Queen herself, touched the shore,’ and . Mary, springing out with - the lightness of ncovered freedom, was received first by George Douglas, and almost instant ly after by Lord Seaton - and his friends.— Throwing herself on horseback, she.rode at full speed to the ferry, crossed the Frith, and galloped to Nildry, haying been met on the road by Lord Claude Hamilton, with fifty horse. Here slid took a few hours rest, wrote a .hurried (despatch to France, des patched Hepburh oif Riccarto, to Dunbar, with the hope that the castle-would be livered to her, and commanded them to pro,- cecd afterwards to Denwark, and carry to his master (Bothwell) the news of her de liverance. Then again taking horse, she galloped to Hamilton, where she deemed herself in' safety.-—( Tyler's History of Scot land. A NEW WAY We' met the other day witli a friend from the-country,—who said that-the temperance cause had made but little progress of late in liis village, chiefly because none .could feel the moral obligation to adopt the total absti nence principle; but, added he, “we have found out a new way, and now, -I believe we shall go ahead. We see that for the good of others we arc called to abstain from all that intoxicates, and feci generally willing to do so.” We remarked that we were glad they had discovered it; but believed it was an old way, as yld as Christianity.' It certainly‘was not a new way:witli us,-:for wejiad;:pujnted ; -it out'for a considerable period and endeav ored to \valk in*it. .We parted, biddipghim and bis neighbors God-speed in it. But, in reflecting upon the subject, we could not but enquire whether there was not a material de fect Jn the views of these temperance friends. They feel’it a_ duty, to abstain from ,all that intoxicates for the good of others, from “the jaw of love,” -but seem to have little or no idea that they are called to it- for their own sakes. And we were strengthened in pur apprehension by a letter which we found on onr table,'of a somewhat cpnlrdversial char 'acter,*' in which we read the "NdCa few .of the best friends of-total absti hence are persuaded that the only scriptural reason for such abstinence was suggestedhy the ApostleTaul, when he wine make my brother to offend,T will djjnk. no wine.” ...But is it so? Is there nothing in the nature of-intoxicating tlrinks—noth ing in the iyarnings .and declarations of the respecting them, which make it oblig atory, upon a man to abstain forhis own sake. Did the voice of inspiration say, Wineis a mocker, let it alone lest if injure your neigh bor? J- Look not, upon the wine, lest it bite another? . Suppose men could drink in se cret, and no eye but the eye of God see it— no: mortal on earth be injured by their exam ple—would that make.it, right? Can the wisest, and holiest man on earth’trifle with the ppipon.and not be injured;—take fire in his bosom and not be burncd?"F6rourselves we.feel that We are under.mural' obligation tp abstain totally and forever from all; that intoxicates,- both for our own.sake and tlie good of others. And we bless God that a double cordon is thus cast around us. * .4, Singular Mventur'e.— Once , upon a time a traveller stepped into a post-coach. He was a young man, just starting in life. He found six passengers about him, all grey headed, and extremely aged men. The youngest "have _seen at least eighty winters. Our, young traveller was sltuck with the singularly'mild and happy aspect which distinguished Ids fellow-pas sengers and determined to ascertain, the se cret of long life, and’ the art of making old age comfortable. He first addressed the one who was apparently the oldest, who said lhat he had always led a regular and abstemious life, •eating vegetables, and drinking water. The young man was rather daunted at ’tliis, inasmuch'as.he liked the good things of this life. He addressed the second, who nstoh .ished him by sayihg he had eaten roast beef and gonetobed regularly drunk for seventy years—adding, that all ■ depended on regu larity. .The ;third haiLprolonged his days, by never seeking or'accepting * oflicc-r-iW fourth by .resolutely abstaining from politi cal or religious controyersies;uand> the fifth by going to bed at suhset'nml rising at dawn. The sixth, was apparently much younger, than the other five—his.hair was less grey," and there was more of it, a placid snide, de noting a perfectly upright conscience—man-: tied his face, and his voice,was jocund.and. strong. They were all surprised ,tb;.learh that he was by ten ycarSithe bldcst maa ln the Qoach. ‘‘HowlM, exclaimed our young traveller, 'liow is-ityou liavethus preserved the freshness of-lifc?—where there is one wrinkle on your: brow, there are fifteen oh that ,of each of your jun iorS—teU me, I pray,- your secret bf. long life!” “I-liave drunk water and tme; i have eaten meat, and have eaten iveget aides; I have held a public ciflice;' I have dabbled in politics. jind written re ligious pamphlets; 1 have gone tob'ed at sun set, and sometimes at midnight; got up at sunrise and at noon; but-r-1 always paid promptly for my newspapers.’’ ' ' - HoKRiBtE.SDiciDE.-T-We have just heard of one of the most melancholy .suicides'withr ill our memory,.committed on. Friday .week, near : Ches.ter, in this State. TheyiqtinVvvas a young and beautiful, girl, about 18 or. l 9 years of age-—she had been for some'time af' ilicfed with a religious monomania, and a bout .two months since attempted" for thg first time to destroy herself By taking laud anum; but some members of the faniily per ceiving the piiial, labelled, lying oh a table near her, medical aid suin nn)ned, :.ahd tlte.liqui(l extracted. ‘A short time after she.made a king.arhqq,|.G ! j. 81 m.teci i'' er parchts then set a watcn upon )ier, and had every possible tneahs'. sueli as knives, razors, &c.. placed.beypnd'her reach;-blit so detef mined .was she tq .-shuffle oir this mortal cod,” that She by somtatratagem obtained ah old razor,; Wtiicb hajd been used in, the .stable'.for . repairing d-c., and >ylth' it she' : co ( mmil >^,.tliefaib's{qt;< whileinthe.sittihgrqo'mof'thehouse.^ahd when there were none of the family present. The first intimation her friends had of the melancholy event, was by it girl employed to work about the house,, who, when about preparing dinner, went to the store room, •which was immediately under the sitting room, for the'purpose of taking same meat from' n barrel where it had been packed, when to her great-horror and astonishment, she bchqld the, top„bf-.thc_ barrel clotted with blood, and a trickling stream , falling'ffbm the ceiling. The affrighted, girl immediate ly communicatad the fact of the appearance Id the family, when they repaired •to the room, Itnd.roUnd the suicide lying on the floor, with the carpet upturned,' weltering,in her blood, and life almost extinct. She ex isted but a quarter of an hour -afterwards, when'the vital spark of the loved one fled. The most singuhii part of the wh&le'rfransac tion, is-the fact, that nothing save the fit-of , monomania-could liave temptcd her to cbm- , mit the rash act.

THInhiMAINS.OF NAPOLEON. By the ship Tafquin, from Manilla via St. Helena,‘we have received the following letter: ,'St. Helena, ’Oct. IS, 1840. The French frigate .“Belle Poule,” com-' mantled by the Prince de Joinyillc, & sloop “Favorite.” both from France, are.now here fur the purpose of taking to France the mor tal remains of the Emperor.Napbleon. The remains are to.be taken on bonrd'the “Belle Poule” on the 15th October, that her ing the day oh which Bonaparte arrived at St. Helena (25 years ago.). In the retinue from France for this purpose, (with the Prince,) are. Counts dc Chabot, Las Casas, and Marcliand, and Gehefals Bertrand aitid Gomgand, four.of.Napob;un’s former domes tics at St Helena. Thebe is a -Sarcophagus of ebony by the “Belle Poule,” for the purpose of holding the .coffin of Napoleon. On board the “Bel le Poule” is a Chapel fitted far its reception, lined with black,Velvet, in*mall -panels, sprinkled all over with silver cur.d and tas sels. . There is an altar, with a crucifix over it, at one end of the chapel.. This sarcho~ phagus is supported at the corners by four eagles. On the top of it is to pfe placed an embroidered -black . vel votcushion v .aml on pi6~cushion a to lhe ceil ing immediately above the crown. a ball with a cross on the top of it, and undcr>. thc ball the Emblem of Justice. In’ the chapel are also four, pyramids to hold candles; suspend ed to the ceiling are four vessels to burn in cense; there is also a rich velvet pall,’which is said to have cost 25,000 francs, to cover the Sarcophagus. The above mentioned ships arrived on the Stli inst. and probably will sail for France on .theJXth_or_lBth.,-.The.BclleJEoule has.bccn open for the reception pfjhe public evetsin’ce her arrival. There is a splendid band-on board; which has . been frequently ashore; performing for the inhabitants. The Prince on landing was received by the authorities and a guard of honor, with salutes from .the Battery and a British vessel of -War then lying in (he Roads. He and his retinue im mediately after landing proceeded to the Gov ernment House;, and after Remaining there about half ah hour, they proceeded to Napo leonic Tomb, and returned to,the town in a bout five hours. The fallowing day-the Prince was met at the Government House by the principal people at a dinner. ■ The gro.und in which- Napoleon was bu ried at that time belonged 1 to a Mr. Richard Torbett, merchant. Napoleon having frequently visited that ground during his life time, in which was a beautiful spring of water (witlLwhich-,watcr he was daily supplied) and a cluster of weep ing willows, had frequently expressed a wish to be interred under .those trees in case he should.dieat St. Helena, which request was immediately, and with great pleasure, gran ted by Mr. Torbctt when made known to him. Mr. Torbctt Having received but a trifling sum from the British, government, after much trouble, time, and expense, as part compensation, for- this -grant for .so sa cred a purpose; and this fact being made known to (he Prince dc Joinville by tire wi dow of Mr. Torbctt who was left in a state of .poverty .by .her deceased husband, the Prince has-most gcncrously'promised her to make her distressed case known to his Roy-..; al father,.with"a.view to His Most.Cliristiah Majesty’s granting her a pension (or life as a just compensation for so sacred a grant.

Gov. Porter entered upon the execution of his trusts at ntimewhen ■the credit of commonwealth had been' almost ruined*by the profligate administra tion of his predecessor. He braved the fam ous'buckshot war—he stood forth in front to put down the conspirators'and to sustain the constitution ami laws—and amidst conflict ing interests of friends, varied differences of opinion upon public policy, and the opposi foa of a leagued band of enemies in the state senate', he came out unscathed for pot litical integrity and by his acts retrieved the character of the commonwealth.' ■ Shall we then drop one who hao suWerediiiuchTor lhe cause, of detnocracy—whose qUalifications u nsuspected, and whose mlministratioti has rendered io much Batisfactibntothe citizens of the state?

We copy the following interesting article from the St. Louis Gazette of the 21st ult.; The two cities of the United States which are progressing most rapidly in population and wealth, at the present time, in propor tion to tjieir si?e, arc undoubtedly Boston and St. Louisi one .in the Eastern,,and the other in the Western section of the Union. For many years—from 1800'to 1830—Bos ton was losing ground, in the race for great ness with New York, Philadelphia,and Balti- but about the year 1830, anew era dawned, on that city, through the instru mentality of its enterprising capitalists, which has turned the tide strongly in its favor. . At tlmt time, the first rail road was constructcd on one side of the city, and the first steam-power loom establishment erect ed on the other. From that time to (he Lowell has increased in population" from 200 to 20,000, and in wealth from $lOO,OOO to 20,000,000. . The cotton manu factures of Lowell, and the hundred other .manufacturing villages in' New-England, have.given a stability to the tradc (if Uoston unknown to any other city in the Union. Massachusetts, formerly exporting, it was said, nothing but granite and ice, now pro duces manufactures, valued at ninety mil-' lions-'of dollars,per annum, a large part of which cen tres at Boston, ns a place of distri bution to all palls of the Union. - : At a later, period than that first mention ed, her far-seeing citizens became convinced that al though she had no fiver like the Hud son, the Delaware, or the Susquehanna, to bring to her-wharves the products of the boundless and-fertile West, yet that an iron pathway might be laid along hpr. mountain gorges, over which a steam-engine with a train of cars could move at the'rate of thirty miles per hour, taking the produce of the lakes at the outlet of the New York-Canal; and landing i(-at Boston in less time than.it can be delivered at New York.■*. Aboutone half of thisi-oad is" completed, and (the whole will be finished within twelve: months from this time! ■ ■ ■ This road will cost not far from seven millions of dollars. It is calculated to sup port an engine of fourteen tons weight, and to carry ),000^barrels of flour in-,a single train'of cars ten miles anliouf. It;is esti mated that when finished, flour can be trans ported from Albany to Boston, 201 miles lor SO cents per'barrcl. ■ Two thousand men are now at work on this road, in some sec tions,-both night and day. The capitalists of.'Buston have plsoi contributed Jargcly-to the funds re'quired for laying down railways from Albdny to Buffalo, between which places there will soon be a continuous.line completed. The same enterprise and capi tal will, ere 'many.ycars' shall have elapsed, continue the same line across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to St. Louis, in case the funds required for the work .are" not finished by the Slates on the rou(,e. '*■ St. Louis owes its''present prosperity to neither .manufactories nor railroads, for it lias' scarce a'dollar expended in cither. Its,progress has been accieeratcd mainly by the.hundreds of thousands of immigrants "'ho have overspread the prairies of Missou ri, Illinois, Wisconsin and lowa—who have come here for the sale of their agricultural and niiningpruductions, and fur the purchase of merchandise. The increase of this city in wealth and population, within the N past ten years, is scarcely .paralleled. In 1831,' the population of (he city.and suburbs ' was estimated at G,OOO. It is* now.not far from 30,000, and rapidly, increasing. The num ber of buildings recently commenced is very, great, and the value of those in course of completion will exceed a million and a half of dollars.
