One fine morning in the summer, of 1833, & handsome but poorly dressed boy, called at the door of a rich mansion in L—-- —c square, in New York city, offered some boskets of straw berries for sale. .Having disposed of the fruit, ho was about to depart, when his attention was or res ted by the appearance of a beautiful girl some twelve years old, who crossed the hall \ near the door/ She was the daughter of the • \gentlemon of th&house.

THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA. In the little town of Marienburg lived a Lu theran Minister, Skovronski, who was remarka ble for bis piety, benevolence, and unwearied cflortsin doinggood. . On returning to his hum ble dwelling one evening, -his attention was at tracted by the cries of a child. His horse showed an.unwillingness to proceed; he dis mounted, and on a short distance in the snow he discovered the object of distress. There lay a half frozen child. Wrapping it ia his cloak, he remounted his horse, and in a short time was at the parsonage. The child was a beautiful little girl, not a year old. It was ht once adopted by tba pastor, and {ilaccd in the care of bis faithful servant, an old ady who had long Resided in the family. She was named Catharine, from the circumstance that she was found on St. Catharine’s day, the twenty-fifth of November. Shown? nursed with great core and tenderness, and treated by the fondly as an only child. Her beauty, docility and sweet temper, attracted the attention of all who saw her. A more lovely creature could hardly bo imagined. - As she grew up, she interested herself in tho management of the household affairs, and was always ready to assist as occasion required.— Tho venerable Skovronski was growing old, Un der the excessive labors for the good of his flock, and his naturally robust constitution was evi dently giving way. This deeply affected Catha rine. for she loved the good old man as her beat earthly friend. Sho respected bira as a parent, but she could never forget that it was he who saved her life. When ho became ill. she would do all fotium in.;hcr power, rind often cheered h\a lonly hours by singing some beautiful hyms. She would often say, father, what can Tdo for you ? Can I not'render you some assistance 1 Can Ido too much for one who saved my life V* On the 12th of’A»gtist» J l7O2 1 Marienburg many bfewW" habitants slain.

This part of the'story innst be described by another. Though a slight thread of fiction may be seen. ,in the description, it will give a Ufa like air to the facts presented. A horse suddenly stopped at the door of tlio cottage, and a young man hastily dismounted. ‘The Russians are at Marienburg!’ exclaimed he. rushing into (he department.

Gene ral Sohcrctnctief, with tho oimy, is bombard ing Marienburg. Oh, it is a cruel sight to bo hold !* *My father, my benefactor I* cried Catharine sobbing. . . Such was her anxiety to sea her best earthly friend, that she immediately started for Maritn burg; but on reaching the town sho was met by ono of the guard, with, ‘Where arc you go ing V ‘ , ' *W|iat is that to yotf ?* replied tho young girl. Tam in haste.and pray you let mo pass.' *Yon of course are not aware, then, that the town is in tho hands of the Hussions,’ said the man. .‘Well, what then I* interrupted tyrihnrino. ‘That all tho inhabitants arc prisoners, and if you persuo your route,you will bo taken pris oner yourself.* ‘Thank you for your advice: but my father and benefactor is in town, and I am determined to share Wa fate, whatever it may be.* ‘Go, then, and God preserve you !’ answered tho man.* Rho had not proceeded far before an officer demanded her name. ‘Catharine,’she quickly replied; ‘lam the adopted child of pastor SKovronuki,* •Thou art a Livonian,’ replied .the officer. — ‘Livonian belongs now to our Czar, Peter I. ol Russia; you ore, therefore, a prisoner. 1 - ‘Touch mo not,* said Catharine, her boauli ffil dark eyes flashing. ‘I returned to Maricn burg to find my adopted father. Conduct me, then, to him—in his house—in a dungeon—no matter that I may find him.’ As tho officer did not seem disposed to-com ply with her request, she Inquired, ‘Who is your General ?’ , •Gen. SchdrcmcUcf,* was the reply. • ‘I wish, then, to speak, to your General.' In a few moments, as the Cossack’s officer was i nquiring where the General could be found, on.pjd woman, perceiving her, uttered a cry of dcajpttir. ‘Ob,my dear child, you will seoybur protector no moro!' Ho died on battle field by a Russian bullet, white in the act of binding up the'wounds ofa poor soldier. ■ He Is dead—my poor master !* This old lady was tho servant ofSkovronakl. , ' Catharine turned pale at this sad intelligence, and Inquired, ‘Hare you then left him there without help V 'Tho officer bode her follow him, and soon in troduced her into the General’s tent.

Jfcro closes the thread of fiction in our story. After their marriage, the Emperor placed her m a private dwelling in the city of Moscow, whore she received crery attention becoming her posi tion. Sho loved to do good, and to', make oth .ere happy around her. She was intelligent, cheerful, amiable and benevolent. No doubt Peter the Great saw that - she,was precisely the woman who could share his en thusiasm and sympathise in hia plans. Tho obscurity of her birth was no obstacle to him; ho had absolute power to raise her to tho loft iest condition in his empire. Though surrounded with tho honors of royal ty, she did not forget tho pastor of Mnrlcnbnrg. £>he loved him still, and did what sho could to cheer his last lie never recovered from his wounds, and survived but a short time.— Ills end wo* peace. Catharine mourned over his departure, and sighed thatonoshobad loved moat of all on earth was now no more. • She often accompanied tho Emperor 6fi his journeys through his empire, and frequently attended him In military campaigns; In 1711, when Peter was at war with the Turks, by her extraordinary skill and superior judgment, sho saved the life of tho Emperor, and saved tho army from being destroyed or taken prisoners. Peter caused tho event to be commemorated by * display of magnificence unusual for him and, in tho declaration ho issued, wJffhd these words: ‘Shehas been of tho greatest assist ance to us In all Cur dangers, and particularly in the battle of Pruth.’’ she was blessed with two children, one of which—a son—died when a child.;. The other a daughter—became Empress of Russia. On tho 18th of May. 1723. Polcr.tfm Great placed the crown,with great pomp, .upon tho head of Catharine.

Mr. Jacob Short, on his way homo from a lecture, in which he had been much interested, fell in with a well dressed gentleman who ad dressed a casual inquiry to . him. From this inquiry proceeded on animated conversation, in which Mr. Snort became so much interested that ho parted from his new acquaintance with regret. '^ v A moment afterwards,*being desirous of learning tie time, ho felt for his watch. To his consternation ho found it was gone.

Luckily he was In sight. lie ran after h ; m with a hasty step, and suc ceeded in overtaking him. ‘Surrender that watch!’ said he in a deter mined tone, ‘or tho consequence be upon your own head.’ The gentleman, or pickpocket, turned pale, and looked for a moment as if ho were inclined to resistance, but tho resolute tone and bearing of Mr. Short Intimidated him, and ha yielded to tho requisition. ‘ Mr. Short went home congratulating himsdf on the courage ho had displayed. Ho related the adventuro to hia wife, who in. stead of praising him, a& ho anticipated she would, exclaimed: ‘ . ‘Why, Jacob, what bavo you done! Your ; own watch is lying on the table, where you left , U before going to the lecture. That I should , live to sco my dear husband ft piokpooket.* ( Jacob sat down in trepidation. It was all true. , He had actually committed at highway robbery, when,'aft ho imagined, ho woa only recovering his stolen property. Ho slept but little that night. Visions of Imnd-culra and, prison bare floated before his troubled mind, and ho rose from a sleepless bed the next morning to read thcfoUowingaatftUQcei mentln tho morning papers: . • "Outiuoh.—We learn that tho Bov.
