Another pause in our. proceedings, during which a company of ragged, boys who had been blackberry ing came up, and planted themselves with every symptom of vulgar curiosity,around the carriage, Miss Norman bad notf no single glass through wltioh she could look without encountering a ; group of low-life faces staring at her with all their might. Still the pride of the Normans sustained her. She sat more rigidly erect than ever, occasionally favoring the circle with a most awful threatening look, accompanied ever by the same five words— ‘l choose to be alone.’ It is easy to say choose, but more difficult to have one’s choice. The blackberry boys chose to remain. . I confess I took pity of the pangs eve# of unwarrantable pride, and urged my proposal again with some warmth, but it was repelled with absolute scorn. , ‘Fellow, you arc insolent!’ After a tedious interval, in which her mind had doubtless looked abroad as well os inward, the fresh tapping at the window summoned the obsequious Humphreys to receive orders. ‘Present my compliments at the Grove—-and the loan of a chariot will be esteemed a tavor.* ‘By your leave, ma’am, if I may speak—’ • i‘You may not.* Humphreys dosed the door, hut remained a minute gating on the panel. If he meditated any expostulation he gave it up, and proceeded to drive away the boys, one of whbm was trido of the dead Plantnganct, a second peering through bla collar, and two more preparing to play horses with the reins. Then away Humphreys went, and I found the time grow tedious in - his absence. I had almost niadoup my mind to follow his example, when hope revived at thp sound of wheels, and up came a taxed cart, carrying four inside, namely, two well grown porkers, Master‘Bur dell. the pig butcher, and his foreman, Samuel Siaric, or, as he was commonly called. Sab,the Sticker. They inquired and I explained, in a few words, the lady Vdilemma, taking care to forewarn them, by relating the issue of niy own attempts in her behalf. ‘Mayhap you wanTfc quite polite enough,’ observed cam; with a*sid*»wiok at his master. • ‘lt ain’t a bit of a scrape and a civil word, ns will get a strange lady up into a strange gen tleman’s gig; Tt wants a warmth-liko, and making on her feel at homo. Only let me alone with her, for a purspadcr, and I’ll have her up in our cart—my master’s, that is to Say—afore you can sco whether she bos feet or hoofs.” In a moment the speaker was at the carriage door, smoothing down his sleek forelocks, bow ing, and using his utmost eloquence, even to the repeating of most of bis arguments twice over. lt was quite unnecessary for Miss Norman to &ay she had never ridden in a cart with two pigs and two butchers; and she did not say it. She merely turned her head away from tho man, to ko addi’cssed by the master, at tho other window, the gloss of which sho had just let down for a Utile air. •A taxed-cart, madam,* ho said, 'mayn’t bo exactly the wehiolc accustomed to,and so forth, but thereby considering respective ranks of hves, why the more honor done to your hum bles, winch,as 1 paid afore, will take every care, and observe tho respectful; likewise in dis tancing tho two pigs.* * _ 0 The sudden drawing up of the window, so violently ,os to shiver the gloss, showed suffi ciently in what light Miss Norman viewed blas ter Burdell’s behavior. It was on‘unlucky smash, for it afforded jrhat tbo tradesmen would have called “an advantageous opening,’* for pouring in a fresh stream of eloquence; and the Sticker, who shrewdly estimated tho con venience of tho breach, came round tho back of tho carriage, and, ns iuninor counsel, followed on the same side. The Indy was invincible. • Tho blackberry boys hod now departed, tho evening began to close in. and no Humphreys made his appearance. The butcher’s horse was on his feet, and tho swine grumbled nt the de lay. The master and man fell into consulta tion, and afterwards favored with the re sult, tho Sticker being tho orator. •It was a man’s duty/ ho said, to look after women, pretty or ugly, young or old; it was what wo all came in the world to do,” namely, to make ourselves comfortable and agreeable to tho fair sex. As for himself, protecting fe males was his naturq, and ho should never be easy again, if so bo ho left the lady on tbo road, and providing a female wouldn’t bo pcrtcctcd with her own free will, sho ought to bo com pelled to, like any otfier wild betist unscnsiblo to lus own good. Them was his sentiments, and his master followed ’em up/ I attempted to reason withihem, but tny consent had only been asked os a compliment. The lady herself hastened tho catastrophe.- Whether sho had overheard tho debate, or tho amount of long pent up’emotion bccamo t,oo over dowing for its barriers, I know not ; but Pride gave way lo Nature, and a short hysteri cal scream proceeded from tho carriage... Miss Norman was in fits. We contrived lo get her seated on tho step of Die vehicle, where the butchers supported ncr fanning her with their hats, whilst I ran off to a little pool near at baud for some cold water. It was the errand only of some four or five minutes,'hut when 1 returned, the lody, only half conscious, had been caught up, ahd there she sat in tho cart between the two butchers. ' I jumped into my own gig, and put my horse to his speed; hut I had lost my stort, and when I enmo up with them, they were already galloping into W- . Unlortunalcly, her residence was at tho further end of the town, and thither I saw her conveyed, screaming in concert with the two pigs, and answered by thoshoulsof lliowholo rubbleineutof the place, who know Miss Nonnim quite as well by sight as ‘(‘her own carriage !** C 7” A queer genius being asked why he did not go to the funeral of his wife, replied ho could not leave his shop, and that it is always best to attend to buslnesaboforo pleasure.

JONES THE SCOCBGeWTIjE OCEIN. The subject of this sketch, John Paul Jones, occupies a position iri the history of the Ameri can marine, shared by few others. Ilis exploits were always marked by a daring confidence in his hltiraato success, and ho achieved ends In many eases’ yrith. remarkably inadequate means; ■ ■ ‘ lie; was bom July 6,1747, Arhgland, in the pariah of Klrkbeau, Scotland. His fath er’s namc.was, John Paul. The name of Jones was assumed in addition at a latter date. His father was a .gardener, and continued, during his life, in the employ of MnrCraik, of Arbig land., ■ • The early education of Paul Jones waa limit ed, but thorough as for ns'it went.* At tho early age of twelve ho was regularly appren ticed to follow tins sen. Ilia master waa a Mr. Younger, a merchant In the American trade,—, Uis first voyage was to America. t On arriving .at his destination he found his brother William who had hem a resident herb for a number of years. _ .With this brother hti remained during the time he was in port. Jones manifested apt ness for the profession, and miulc’at this penod several very successful voyages. Ini 1707, while reluming to Scotland in Hie John, as a passenger, the master and matedied of the yellow* fever, and Jones assumed thodi j rcction of the vessel, which ho carried .safely [ into port. Ho received the command of the ves sel ho had rescued, as his reword. Thus , we find Jones, at the ago of-twenty, or at most twenty-owujn Tull command of a merchant vessel, an instance of promotion, which, with the obscure and unpatroniied, never occurs without the existence of great merit. In the employ of the' owners of this vessel, Jones sailed two years, at the end of which lime the firm dissolved. From this date, up to tils de parture for Amcrica fi hc followed the sea in va rious capacitics, going twice, to the coast of Africa, oh slaving expeditions. Tii 1773 bis brother William died in Virgin ia, leaving him heir to bis estate. In order to attend to his property ha came to America,and | it was shortly after lus amvhl-that he assumed l the name of Jones. Tho’feaaOns for the adap- 1 tion of this name has never been definitely giv en. - __ 4 ,nary con}mchccd"s6motTrhc in ITTS. Ho was ordered to the Alfred} 24 huns, as first lieutenant. On board this vessel, at Finland pbia, on thc 10th of December, 1770, he hoist ed, for the first time, the adopted flag of the United Colonies. This Uaghoro the represen tation of a pine tree and a rattlesnake with’ i this motto—‘Don’t Tread on Me.’ ' 'While attached’ to tho Alfred ho came first under fire of an engagement with the Glasgow, twenty-four guns, otf Newport The Alfred was badly cut up in this affair, which resulted in the escape of the Glasgow into Newport.— In a variety of commands wliich Jones under took about this time, ho.- particularly disting uished himself by his pro’rahtness of.action,and thb ability with which ho ’displayed in seizing at oneb on tho best modetjjextricating himself from impending danger.: V * It was under Uio'pommand of .John Paul Jones that tho American Vessel, tho Bon Hom me Richard, fough^lgcfEnglish battleship Scrapis, on FlainbonWjhCHcad.‘"This action was particularly noted loriho fury, with which it was conducted oabqth sides. . Before noting any of the incidents of thU engagement, it will lie wclj to mention tho strength of the two ves sels engaged. ’ ' •’ Thdßon Homme Richard was formerly an Indiaman belonging to . the French,'and was called tho Due do DurfttJj' She was fourteen yctrrs old, and although bought fpr a fastsnil cr npda sound hull, prorefito bq dull under sail and. rotten in tinjWr..’ Sho-wa* a long singlo-dcckcd ship. Uor: r 'nrmaincnt, all told, was forty-two guns. The Scropis Was a new ship, carrying 44 gunsf and about three hun dred and fifty inpn* . Tho engagement toofy,saco on the 23d of I September, 17711.' At, Jnn early* hoqr tho shins became each, other and continued lashed side'by Hide during tho whole action- They were soejoso together tliat the gunners wore obliged to pass the rammers into tho mouths of tho hostile ports to get them In to their guns. Of course tho execution done at this short range was terrific, Kverywhere resounded with intermingled cheers and groans. Tho dead were strewn about in every direction, and the mo«t awful confusion prevailed. The Richard was frequently on fire, and at tho I close of tho action was in a sinking condition. Her sides were almost destroyed by the guns of tho Scrapis, and nothing prevented the quar. ter and mam deck from Utterly falling down npou tho lower deck but a few ton timbers that fortunately remained standing. This left Jones and his companions flghtibeon a sort of stage, upheld by the stanchions that were liable at any moment to give way. The loss on both aides was fearfully great. — Full ono hundred ami fifty of tho Richard’s men were killed and tho lost one hun dred and seventeen. ’ Tho Scrapis finally struck Iter colors, and tho bloody carnngo ceas ed, and .upon tho heaving waves floated tho two ! shattered hulls#'freightcd with the maimed, tho. dying and tho dead. - Great efforts were made to keen tho Bon Hommo Richard alloat, but af ter, toiling a whole day ami night, it became evident that she had ‘fought her lost battle,’ Her men, ami such articles ns it was desirable or possible to save, were transferred to tho Sc rnpis, and at ten o'clock tho old Duo Du Duraa settled majestically into thu bosom of tho sea. •'Paul Jones arrived at tho Texcl, Holland, With his prize.' Hero ho was blockaded by a British fleet from tho Downs. This fleet con sisted of twenty-one linc-of-battlo uhlps, which were disposed m such a manner ns to threaten complete destruction to Jones should ho altc tupt to leave his anchorage. An reward of ten thoulami guineas was offered for tho head of tho famous John Paul Jones. This much sought-after Individual determined to run tho gauntlet ami escape if possible, Having fully .instructed Ids men, ho* availed of a day when t|io wind was blowing ft' galo oil’ shore, and weighing anchor, cijmo down under easy sail towards tho centre of tho British fleet. ’ He directed his course.so ns to como under tho ko of, tho battle ship fvpip which the admi ral’s flag.was flying.

Congress yo ted him a gold medal in honor to. his services. Jones quitted America, in November,’ 1787. and never again'visited its shores.’ Ho was after wards engaged in the Russian 1 service, being sent to the Black Sea by the Empress Catha rine, as rear admiral, immediately, after his ar rival in St.' Petersburg, April 22, 1788,- ho joined Prince Potemkin, who had command of the Russian forces in the Black ,Sca. His con nection with the Russian service is complex history of disappointment and intrigue. , While, in this service be was in many severe engagements, and showed great pcrsbnol cour age,though the opportunity never seemed to 1 present itsclf.for the exhibition of any remar kable exploit, or a quality worthy of bis previ ous career. ‘ lie resided forsomc time preceding his death in Paris, where lie died on the. 18th of July, 1792, at the age of forty-five. A distinguished writer, himself a sailor, in 1 speakingtJ Paul Jones, sums up his qualities in the following manner : ‘ln battle, Paul Jones was bravo; in enter prise, hardy and original: in victory, mild and generous; in motives, much disposed to disin ' tcrcatcdness,- though ambitious of renown, and covetous of distinction. Ip his pecuniary rela tions ho was liberal; in'bis affections, natural ' and sincere; and in, his temper, just and for -1 bearing.’ Tie love ol a true Woman.

From the Literary .Casket, EMBLEMATIC COLOBS. ■ In very early art, wo find colors used In a symbolical or mystic sonso; and, until the an cient principles and traditions were wholly wonf out of memory, or sot aside by the later paint ers, certain colors were appropriate to-certain subjects and personages; and could not Arbitra rily bo applied, or misapplied. In the old spe cimens of stained glass, ,wo find these significa tions scrupulously attended to, thus: ■White, represented,by the diamond orsllvcr, was the emblem of light, religions purity, fnno conco, virginity, .faith, joy, and life. Our Sa vior wears white after his resurrection. In tho judge, It indicates Integrity; in the' sick man, humility ; ln the Woman, chastity. It was tho color consecrated to tho Virgin, who, however, never wears white, except in pictures of tho As sumption. r Red, tho ruby, signified Qro, divine love, tho Holy Spirit, heat, or the creative power, and royolly. White and,rod roses express lovo’and, wisdom, as in the garland with which tho angola crowned St. Cecilia. In'S bad sense, rod signi fies blood, war, hatred, and punishment. Red and black combined were tho colors of purgatory and tho dovtl. Birr, or tho sapphire, expressed heaven, the firmament, truth, constancy, fidelity. Christ tho Virgin wear tho red tunic and tho blue mantle as signifying heavenly lore and heaven ly truth. Tho somo colors were given to St. John tho .Evangelist, with tills difference, that ho wore tho bluo tunic and tho red mantlo in Inter pictures, tho colors oro sometimes red and green. . . Yxllow, or gold, was.tho symbol of tho sun i of tho goodness of God, initiation, or marriage, faith or frultfUlnoM, In pictures of tho apos tles, St. Peter wears a yellow mantlo over a bluo tnnic. In a bad sense, yellow signifies in constancy, Jealousy, deceit; In tills sense it )| given to tlto traitor Judas, who is generally ha bited in dirty yellow. Greek, the emerald, is tho color of springs of hope particular hope in immortality { and of victory, as tho color of palm pftrl laurel. Violet, the amethyst, signified love and truth; or, passion and suffering, lienee it is the color often worn by the martyrs. In some instances onr Saviour, after his resurrection, is habited in a violet instead of a blue mantle. The Vlr. gin Magdalene, who as patron saint wears tho red robe, m penitent wears violet and blue, the colors of sorrow and constancy. In the devo tional representation of her by Timoteo della Vita, site wears red and green, the colors of loro and hope. Black, expressed thoearth—darkness,mourn ing, wickedness, negatioi^eath—and was ap propriate to tho Prince ln some old Illuminated MSS., Jesus, In the temptation, wears a black robo. White and black together signify purity of life, and mourning or humilia tion ; hence adopted by the Dominicans and the Carmelites.' How To Prosper In Business.

This wav the first time he had been entrusted to super intend the execution of this work; ho made his arrangement over night, spoke to the men about carta and horses, and resolved to begin very early in the morning, ho instructed the laborers to bo there at half past four o’clock. So they set to work, and the thing was done.
