In the year 18377 a young woman of docent pi
ren'ogc, engaged in ilio service of a clergyman in lire
weal country, became acquainted with, and formed
an attachment, to a young man in tiro noighorhood.
A child, the result of the attachment, was ultimately.
from the inability of either of the parents to support
it, consigned lo the caro of the grandmother on the
(uttioi’spido. Tiio mcilhcr had frequent opportunities 1
of seeing and hearing of her boy while sti« i om.in.a
in that part of the country, bat some time af.erwards
she left the neighborhood and removed la a distance.
Afterwards the father left the same district also, and
removed to Ireland, taking the boy with him. Some
years passed away, and being mutually ignorant of
each other's placo of residence, the mother, after
using means lo discover whither her child had boon
removed, gave up all hopes of obtaining tho much I
desired Intelligence. She conducted herself well in ■
the gentleman's family in which she served, and in
a few years after an odor of marriage was made her
by a respectable tradesman, which, after candidly
relating lo him the eircumstonccs of her previous
life, lie was, by reason of his attachment to her, in
duccd (o repeat, and she gratefully accepted the
oiler. In (lie prosecution of Ins business ho soon
after removed to Glasgow,whore ho commenced bus
iness as an engineer. The father of the boy, in the
meantime, had also married, and by him the youth,
when he grew up, was sent io and completed his
apprenticeship with an engineer in Ireland. Subse
quently the lad went to Glasgow in search of, and
obtained employment, by a singular coincidence, and
without a knowledge on either side of the relation
ship, from the engineer who hod martied tho boy’s
mother; and* from Uio fad of Iter not having seen
indeed 1 could not possibly have" rccogoiiod him as
her long lost boy.
It appears that a brother of the tad's father hap.
pened to keep a booking offico for parcels, &.C., in
tho city, and lo him, oniong others, tho father had
sometimes, in his letters, alluded to the mother of
his boy, and hi» natural curiosity to know what had
I become of her. Tho young man was occasionally
in tho habit of calling ou his father’s brother, and
rooding or talking over any mutual letters they might
receive from his father in Ireland. It chooced one
day that a well dressed and even lady like woman
entered the office lo hook a pored; tho man fixed
his eyes upon her, end said ho hud some distant re
collection of having seen her before, and begged,
with all civility, to inquire whether. In her youth, she 1
had been in omplnymcnl as a servant at o monso in j
the west country, which he named. The hdy ro- 1
plied that she had ; end ever anxious regarding her
boy, and having no reason for concealment, eagerly
inquired if he could give her any tidings of her son,
or if ho know pnything concerning him 7 Tho man
told her thulffßo was himself tho brother of the boy’s
father; that having seen her In former years, ho re
membered and recognised her countenance, and if
she could call ol his office the succeeding evening,
at seven o’clock,ho would make arrangements whore,
by her eon should bo In attendance, ond she might
see him. Tho Interest dnd anxiety, it rosy bo^ms-

a singular accident, when sirs least expected it, she
was on tho following evening lo see and converse
with him. She immediately wont homo and told
the circumstance to her husband, arid deep was the
interest he also look in the matter which hud so
much concerned her; for she had been to him a
most faithful wifo, and if she had erred, she had
ishcd it away with long sorrow and repentance

and a palpitating heart she entered the office ibe
succeeding evening, a foW minotoa before the tp
pointed hour. The man informed her that tho lud
hud not yet arrived, but wduld bo there Boon, and
handing her a teat, told her that ho would cluio a
half shutter of Iho aido window when hi' camo in,
by which algo #bo would know that it was her #on
who entered. People come and wont for a consider*
able Umo, and Iho mother's feelings and oniioty
were every moment increasing, when one of her
husband's workmen entered llio office. She instinct
ively turned away her head, for aho liked not that
one in her husband's service should observe tier at
Buoh an anxious Umo, but at that instant tho half
shatter woo hastily closed, for it was indeed her rod
who had entered. She gated at him as ho stood in
his prime, and her wonder was great that aho should
1 recognise in ono ofhof husband's workmen her long
I lost son ; but the proceeding anxiety and the shook
wore too much, and as aho looked she became pale
and fainted away. Restoratives wore immediately
procured, and on her being completely recovered, an
explanation of tho extraordinary circumstances was
communicated to tho son. Although ho had had
I frequent ocpaslon to speak to hU mistress, jot there
' had not been Iho least suspicion on either aide of tho
close relationship. .
They wont homo to her husband a house one

to find that his wife’s aon woa doing so well t for, of
course, ua his master, ho know him ; and shortly af
terwards having used his Influence with Ins friends
on his behalf, and knowing the lad's ability, ho pro
cured for him a situation «b engineer on one of the
English railways, which ho stilt holds. Only about
ton months ago, the lad Interceded and obtained for
his father a subordinate situation on ih« same Une ot
railway. Tho subdued and grateful thoughts of the |
mother may well be Imagined. An absence of nearly ,
twenty yepra fould not In any degree abate the foot-

often deplored the error of l>or youth, it wee with

BASHFUL. MEN.
BY MRS. MARY A. DENNISON.
Wo never yet saw a genuinely bashful man who
was not the soul of honor. Though such may blush
and slammer, and shrug their shoulders awkwardly,
unable to throw forth with ease, the thoughts that
they would express, yet commend them to us for
friends.
There are fine touches in their chactora that Imo
will mellow and bring out; perceptions as dclicatoas
(ho faintest tint is to the unfolding rose; and ill
thoughts are none tho loss refined and beautiful tUt
they do not flow with tho impetuosity of the shallow
stcamlel.
Wo oro astonished that such men arc nolapprccit.

Tho man who is bashful in tho presence of ladies,
is their defender when tho loose longue of the slan
derer would defamo them : it is not ho who boasts of
conquests, or dares to talk glibly of failings that ox*
islin Ills imagination alone: his check will flush
with resentment, his oyo flash with anger, to hoar
(ho name of woman coupled with a coarse oath ; and
yet ho who would die to defend them, is least honor'

Who ever hoard of a bashful libertine? The
anomaly was never scon. Ease and elegance uro

piny court alike to blue eyes and black ; lie is never
non-plimcd, ho never blushes, Fora glance ho is
in raptures; fur a word, ho would professedly lay
down liia life. Yet it is ho who fills our vito city
dens, with wrecks of female purity , it is ho who
profanes the holy name of mother, desolates the shrino
where domestic happiness is throned ; ruina the heart
that trusts in him ; pollutes (ho very air ho breathes,
and all under the mask nf a polished gentleman.
Ladies, a word in your car; have you lovers, and
would you possess a worthy husband 1 Choose him

around you. If ho blushes* summers oven at your
approach, consider thorn so many signs 6r

let not a thousand fortunes weigh him down in tho
balance, for depend upon it, with him your life will
bo happier with poverty, than with many another

The First American Martyr.
Early in February, 1770, the females of Boston
ado a public movement on the subject ofnorj-lmpor
(ion, and the mistresses of 300 families subscribed
their names to a league, binding themselves not to
drink any lea until the revenue act was repealed.-
Three days after the example of the matrons, multi
tudes signed a document to (lie same purport. All
:s wore thoroughly imbued with patriotism,and
even children were sturdy asset tors of national rights.
Disregarding these expressions of public sentiment,
a few merchants ir Boston continued to sell the pro
scribed article. Among them were Thebphilos
Liilio and (our others, who wore particularly bold to
their unpopular conduct. To designate his store as
one to bo shunned, a mob, consisting chiefly of
half grown boys, raised a rude wooden boo d upon a
polo near to Lillie's door, having upon U the names
of other Importers. A hand was attached to it, with

it down himself. The mob pelted him with dirt and
stones, and drove him Into Lillic-'s house. Greatly
exasperated, Richardson brought out a musket, and
discharged U with aim into the crowd.
A lad named Christopher Gore,afterwards Govor

another. Chislophei'Snyder, a son of a poor widow,
was instantly killed. The mob seized Richardson,

panucll Hall, where they wore examined and com
mitted for trial. Richardson was found guilty of
murder, but Lieutenant Governor Hutchinson re
fused to sign ills death warrant. After two years*
imprisonment, ho was pardoned out by the King.—
The murder of the boy produced a groat sensation
throughout the country i and in Boston it was made
the occasion of a most solemn pageant. His coffin
was covered with inscripiions,auch as “Innocence is
not safe,” and others of like tenfar ; and was taken

Cast-Iron Buildings*
Cast iron Tor building purpose, la coming Ouch day
more into ÜBO.aa its capabilities arc more manifested
by experience, and its superiority over other material,
for strength and durability, is most evident by trial.
Since publics attention has been turned to its excellent
qualities, iron buildings are being erected in ell the
principal cities. A writer m the Boston Transcript
points out many of llio|advantsgca presented by iron
for building purposes, to say nothing of tho proof i
against conflagration which such buildings would
afford. Frames for building can bo cast, according
to any style of architecture or taste. Frames of iron 1
will bo of much loss dimensions,for buildings of sim
liar sixes. They can bo cast so as to bo firmly united
and jointed throughout tho whole structure. And
the parts and portions exposed to view may bo highly
ornamented by the Tim connecting and
or straight, making angles or squares, or other forms’, 1
or bo variously ramified in these structures. Within j
the frame work, panels of caat iron may bo sot, there
being an outward and inward groove, for tho rccep.
tion ofo n outward and inward panel or finish. Tito 1
panels can be cast after patterns of (ho greatest
beauty and taste. Between these panels but little
space will bo necessary ; therefore, upon a given lot,
more in dour roam will bo obtained (herewith than
by any other building materials, The sleepers and
flooring being of iron, more height of story wiil be
afforded, with the same height of building, then with
tho materials now in use. Roofs should bo double,
so as to allow a current of air to pats between them
in tho sultry season of the year. Thoiough ventila
tion may bo maintained throughout the edified, and
a more equable temperature. Such building also
would be a thorough protection Bgaintltbo destruct

A New Fish Basltteiia
During llio pail winter, Uio controversy respecting
iho resuscitation of frozen fish was effectually set
lied through our columns, a now fact to many waa
also brought to light, namely, the supplying the
ponds with new kinds of hah brought from distant
waters in a frozen state. Wo have also noticed in
the Scientific American llio mode of cultivating carp
in Iho marshy ponds of France; but perhaps the
most extraordinary discovery of the present day, in
(ho fish hoc, is (hat by which they can bo produced
to an incalculable extent, in streamlets, rivers, ponds,
iand lakes, by artificial moane. This process, within
the last three years has been employed on a grand
scale, with considerable success in various parts of
France. Two fishermen in the Department of
Vosges, having noticed that the lino trout In (ho
streams wore tsst declining in numbers, made it their
business to investigate iho cause. They discovered
I that npt nna nro JJbu-Wl..*.
\,rtay or devoured by other (fab. jfc struck t/iem th*t i
if llioy wore to collect iho eggs and protect them
from the largo fish, they would in a few fears obtain
a plentiful supply. They according, in Imitolion of'
I fish, placed the eggs on a bed of gravel, pul them in-
ft box filled with holes, and sank it into llio bed of
tivor. In duo lime they hod abundance of small |
iroat, which they koplln clean woler, out of danger,
and supplied with filling food. Applying this process
fur a few years, they have slocked a great number
□f the streams and rivers of Franco with millions of
fine trout. This is a subject which should arrest the
attention of people In our country.
