'Dick,' said his mother can't. you let the lobster-pots go ?' ,'Couldn't possibly,' smiled the boy. 'Could you have' the heart to ask me? Will you cast me oil, mother P he called a' second later. 'Wait a minute,' :exclaimed' Mrs. Swing. 'Fetch your boat close Op. I wan't to speak to you Dick,' The boat received the , necessary impetus, and touched the side of the pier. Mrs. Swing had seated her self on the topmost layer - of logs iorming the wharf, and - leaned over as though - to speak "confidentially to her son. . _ 'Pick,' said his mother, 'hold fast,l I'm coming,' and into the boat she dropped before •Capiaiti Ros e on the .Dock or Captain--Richard in the boat had knowledge of her intention.. 'What under the., sun, mother,' cried the bby, 'do you mean ?,. . 'l'm going with yOn, Dick, to keep you fronitumbling .overboard when.. you haul in,' and . she seated herself in the stern. calling back as the title floated the boat out, 'We'depend on you Captain Rose, to send after us if we—if it gets too rough,' she gait!). - ed . with a dash of spray in her lace. 'Ay, ay I' ci ied the Captain, and he took off his hat and swung it, he toncely knew why. • • .Of all the women in Dell Haven, from the eldest to the youngest, Mrs. Swing most'feared the sea. To live beside it, to watch its every. mood• delighted her, but to l yenture out on it for pleasure, she was never known to do. • • A moment's peace she never knew when Richard, her only son, was ex posed to the treachery of the waters, hilt rather than mar his wild delight iti L the wind and waves this unselfish mother concealed as much as possiole her anxiety for him. :Richard was not selfish, and had he imagined what his mother was at that moment suffering wonld have put the boat 'about and tied it for ever at the stake rather than cause her'this agony.. Just as the bOat got well into the toil of the waves the sun arose shed ding such brilliance on the waters that Mrs. Swing, who sat facing it was , dazz'ed and well nigh failed, to see in time a gill net in which the boat was running. 'See. any boat ahead. mother ?' questioned Richard. 'You must keep a good lookout for me. I've got my ranges right and can fetch the lobster grounds every time.' 'ls it far ?' questioned his mother shudderingly. 'Not very ; just outside the Dull Head. I reckon we'll fetch it; said the lad, dipping'his oars for a -full stroke and then letting, the boat slide up to the summit of a rolling 'wave, a trick he had caught from Captain Hezekian Danforth, the master boatman of Dell Haven. The 'Wind grew strongar and the waves every , moment increased in size. Even Richard glanced side ways more than once with ill' con cealed anxiety as the long billows came tumbling on, and just then getting a glimpse of his mother's face beheld it so blanched with ter ror of the sea that it seemed to him Mit his mother was no longer in the , boat with him. 6 'Dick,' she gasped as his oar mis- Red stroke and sent the spray over the boat, 'Dick, I'm afraid to go on.' Dick glanced backward. He had pulled about a mile from Shore and was midway between the two head lands familiarly spoken of as the horns. Dull Head was surrounded by an even accumulating 'mass of breakers, and Bright Head caught, the sea on its precipitious sides,, t rending it backward in fountains of ' foam, and all the four miles that lay between the two points were roiling miles of billows. Sitting with his face landward Richard had, not fully felt the dan• ger. Now the lad could not repress a shudder as he said : 'I don't:believe , I could find the buoys in such a sea, and nobody could haul in the pots. I heliev e I'll put about.' 'O, do! 0, Richard; there comes an awful one !' and Mrs. Swing BHP ped dowd, from her seat into the bottom ()lithe boat and hid her face from the.oncoming wave: Richard gave a mighty pull at the oars to keep the boat head on; and it rode that wave in safety only to meet new ones, into whose depth the shell rolled, to be complete ly hidden from the sight of two men .who were standing outon the Dell Haven - pier. 'lf there was only a, tug in sight to- help them,' groaned Captain Rose. 'Why didn't you dun a little com mon sense in the woinzas if she didn't take any naturally,' scolded Captain Da:sfcrth, =shut her and the boy up Jsomewheres. -1 told her, but I 'declare when I we, young I , could have brought doWn them oars in half the time it takes Jim to fetch 'em. I say,'Kiah Danforth, ain't that boat trying to put about?' 'lt acts like it, John, biit it will get swamped just as sure as guns if —no, it's going on. There's nothing else to do. I never in all my life saw a time when there' was a sail in'sight; . . The boat's - gone!

'Every second tells ' It's a race for life l' called nut Captain Danfor th. "Jim; - you'd better get in. You're strong ; if one of us tuckers out you can take hold.

With breallleis haste they watched the surf txit, as , its two rowers stood at the oar urging it onward. . • 'lt's down the harbor now. They're catching it: It's eh awful wind for June. Do you think they're gain ing on 'em ? That mite of a boat will never live till they get there;' were some of the remarks heard as they passed on. As for Captain Rose, he went panting up the bill into town s climb ed into. the belfly of Dell Raven cherth,i as ihr as he could go, and watched shrongh a spy-glass the pro gress of the mere speck in the die. tance and the toiling helpers so fir . behind. Afters few minutes be realized that Captain Danforth, although do ing his utmost; could not reach the periled ones in time to save them and he said to himself : 'The boy is doing well, but hi can't hold out.

She could only smile and bow het head and try to get out the message, which she did at last, Captain Rose's eye was on the speck. fleidared not take it off lest never to And it again. Meanwhile the news got abroad - that , Captain Rose had telegraphed to Cornwall for a tug, and the burden of fear grew lighter. in the little boat again and again had Richard tried to turn its bead toward the land, but with each trial it took in so much water that he was forced to give, up the attempt. Nothink could be done but keep off and fade the boiling sea. Very few words Were spoken. Mrs. Swing kept bailing 'as fast as possible, with only the t obeli of a home-shoe crab to work , with. At length came - . a wave like a small Jill!, 'up which the boat rode gallantly, and then suddenly Rich. ard'shouted : 'They're coming for• us, mother. I - see a boat just outside the' harbor.' 'Then the tears sprang to Mrs. SWing's eyes. She stopped bailing for a moment to look, toward the shore. All she could see was a wall of water shutting' out the land. 'Courage, mother,' Dick said. Every rise and fall of the oar was a prayer ; every dip of the poor old crab shell was a petition for life. Out from Cromwell Harbor, seven miles tp the eastward, and hidden from sight by_Bright Head, . steamed the tug [Good Hearr — Never haa the Captain} stood watching the sea with' more , earnest gaze. Never was steam applied with more generous hand. 'Twas ,the woman and boy in the boat out at sea that lived in the gaze, in the steam and in the fuel, and Goo 4 Heart bore away with cor dial speed till Bright Head was won and weathered. 'I itee shouted the Captain, 'though how in thunder it's lived to get there's more'n I know,' and he gave direitions to steam outside. Richard's attention was divided between the billows and the land and the friendly boat, and Mrs. Swing was so intent on bailing, that neither of them saw the Lug until it was upon them, and a bailing voice shouted : 'Hold on till we pick yon up.' It seemed as a voice from Heaven bad spoken. Even the' bluff old Captain Rose,- up in the belfry of the church, ejaculated, 'Thank God!' as he saw the tug come to. The shock of the ball, the of the black throbbing tug, friendly as they seemed yet came near swamp• ing the boat, for Richard let it turn, and the last strength he bad was put forth in holding ft up to the wind until a line was cast off, and -ven then he had no power to make it fast. It was Mrs. Sling who tried to obey-the commands that came but could not. - Finally the tag's boat was lowered.

There his wife was attacked by an illness which ultimately proved fatal. It so happened however, that some time afterwards there came to the same romantic plate a young lady of considerable personal attractions. The poet's heart was touched—he lyvaine attached to her i but the beauty of sixteen did not sympathise with_the_ixiet of six-and-thirty ; and Longfellow returned to America, having lost his heart as well as his wife. The young lady, also an Am erican, returned home shortly after wards. Their residences, it turned out were contiguous, and the poet availed himself of the opportunity of prosecuting his addresses, which lie did foris considerable time with no bettei success than at first. Thus foiled, he set li'mself resolutely downs and instead, like Petrarcli,. of laying siege to the heart of . his tress through the medium of sonnets, he resolved to write a whole hook— a book which would achieve the dou ble ohject,of gaining her affections andlestablishing his own fame. "Hy perion " was the result. His labor and his constancy were . not thrown away—they. met their due 'reward. The lady gave him her hand as well as here heart, and they resideed to gether at Cambridge, in the same house which Washington made his headquarters when he' was first ap pointed to the command of the Amer ican al mies. Religion. But, sir, political eminence and pro fessional fame fade away and die with. all things earthly. Nothing of char acter is really permanent but virtue and personal worth. These remain. Whatever of excellence is wrought into the soul itself belongs to both worlds. Real goodness does not. at tach itself merely to this life:; it points to another world. Political or professional reputation cannot last forever; -but a conscience void of offence before God and•man is an in heritance for eternity. Religion, therefore, is a necessary and India pensible element in any great human character. There is,no living with out it. Religion is the tie that con nects man with his Creator, and holds him to His throne. If that tie be all sundered, all broken, he floats away, a worthless atom in the uni verse; its proper attractions all : gone, its destiny thwarted, and its whole future nothing but darkness, desola tion, and death. A man with no sense of religious duty is he whom the Scriptures describe, in such terse but terrific language, as living "with out God in the world." Such a - man is out of:his proper being, out of the circle of bis duties, out of the circle of all,his bappin.ess and away, far, far aWay,, from the l purposes of his creation.—Daniel Webster. GEORGE ELIOT'S GOODMEN--NOt a few of keep in our memories. a sacred place forsome whom we have known long ago, and who were not wholly unlike these p: ctures; men who were un learned in the wisdom of this world, and yet knew how . to guide an-infant's steps - with'precepts which would help him in after life more than the books of the - philosophers - or the counsels of the worldly wise; men so pure in their unselfishness, so simple in truthfulness, so patient in their persistent d iligene,e in the performance of duty so unambitious in their ex pectations of reward so bravely straight forward and kind in the face of a lying and cruel world, that we keep the memory of their lives as refresh ing thought in the midst of the hid eous careers -and and almost as hid eous precepts which ,are not uncom mon in society, to-day and always. Such of us who have reason to cher ish these sacred memories hold it not, the least of George Eliot's claims to our gratitude that she has known bow to depict to r us, not 'unworthily.- this simple and excellent, this 'un- learned but wholly incorruptible type of buman nature.

A np3PERAts and exciting race for life was made across a part of San Franoisco Bay, on March 23d, by the oceansteamship Columbia. In ap proaching the city in .1 dense fog the ship grOunded in the straits, but in a few thonients glided off into deep wa ter. Suddenly it was discovered that the vessel was leaking badly, and the captain determined to steer for a safe beaching ground. Under a full head of steam, and , followed 'by a fleet of tugs, which endeavored to keep near her, to render help if it were needed, the ship rushed toward the mud _fiats. Her firemen stood waist deep in water, end she was slowly sinking, but there was just time to save her, and amid a chorus of shrieks from hundred steam whistles she ran high upon the soft shore near her. wharf. . low * 4. lawyers are said to - be .notor ious among.their brethren of the bar for the-length or their arguments, and it is even charged that this ha bit has assumed the dimensions of a public calamity.

WElie Calhoun, Webster and Benton. atom a leeture by the Hon. Sohn Wentworth have a vivill'recollectron of Mr. Calhoun's last apeeeh; the whole of which I beard. He came - into - the senate Chamber supported by friends. Every one -saw that his; hours were numbered. He feebly addressed the presiding officer, and asked that Sen ator. James.M. Mason, of Virginia, be permitted to real his speech. He lingered through.the whole . reading, although consuming quite, two hours, his eyes moving about his audience to notice its effect. Here is one - of the closing passages : "If you who represent,the- strongest portion can ! not agree to settle this question up= on the broad principles of. justice and duty; say so, and let the States we both represent - agree to, separate and part in peace. If you are un willing we should part in pence, tell -us. so and we will know'what to do." It a min of Mr. Calhoun'shigh posi tion and age, standing upon Tthe brink of l eternity, could thus speak,' it is easy to conjecture what would be the effect upon the younger mem bers from the South' .Senator Ma son read the speecKin a very 'defiant tone, well calculated to engender the bitterest feelings. I saw him - atter ward when he was rot . so defiant: It wak upon one cold day in November when he, with John Slidell, was ex cezcising himself in the open . air at Fort Warren, in Massachusetts, reap ing.' at T 5 years : of age, the fruits of Mr. Calhoun's doc trines. It is believed 'by many that, had a man like James Buchanan bten President, instead Of .Zachary Taylor, the South would have tested its strength at that time, when the passions of the people were so much excited respecting - the ;admission of California as a free State.' I heard this speech upon 4th of March, ls:;0, and upon the ‘2(l of April thereafter I - attended his.Tuneral in the same chamber. Clay, Webster and others made the .customary eulogistic speeches. But Benton was as silent as Mr. Calhoun was when John Qain cy Adams died. The great -Webster made an appeal to his -magnanimity in the hour of his death, but Benton replied : "He is not dead, sir—he is not dead. There may be no ;vitality in his body, but there is in .his • doc trines. The last thing I did' before leaving home was to denounce him - and his treasonable sentiments, and' I shall do the same .when return hoine. My people cannot distinguish between a man and his principles— .between a traitor and treason. They cannot eulogize the... One and de nonnce the other. Calhoun died with treason in his heart and on his lips, and they knOW it. While I am dis charging my duty here :his disciples are disseminating his poison all over the State." The foresight of Cola nel Benton is made apparent by re membeting that at the next election, after he had been re-nominated by a large majority, the . Callionn men bolted the Democratic' Convention and secured the election of the Whig candidate. But for these Calhoun men, all elected as members of the same. political organiiation as Colo nel Benton, he would have had-an 'other term, and in all probability the honor of dying at his post. '• Lower Canada. There are two species of loup garou in Lower Canada ; one that kills and eats children, and, another that, like the feax-folletts, seeks the destruction of souls:. The former is never:seen except by children, whose evidence is not worthy of credence, inasmuch as the loop-garou appears to, wicked children only, but the ex istence of the latter has been vouched for by thougands of good. inhabitants. A habitant.deep. in the backwoods of the St. Maurice of Lac St. Jean, has said his prayers and is preparing to turn in - for I the night, when he hears a shout Outside, ani going to the door-is told by a belated teamster bound .for the shanties, that his neighbor at the "clearing," ten miles -away, is lying at the point of, death, and that there is • •no priest • within fifty.miles: The habitant harnesses his horse and starts, without delay, taking with him the bottle of holy water.he brought from his native . parish at Easter, his beads, and•pe. tit Albert, a collection of prayers. The wind is moaning in the forest, and trees throw gaunt shadows upon the snoW. Suddenly he hesrs - the sound. of rushing feet, and, looking over his shoulder as he plies. the horse with his whip; discovers to his horror that be is being pursued by a loup.garou. .The? fiend resembles a huge wolf, but italcry is human, and its eyes are like : the lights of the feux-follets. The habitant mutters a prayer, and drives furiously. It is a hard race through the . woods and over the froien streams, but, thanks to the good St. Anne, the patronne of Lower Canada and the kind pro ' Lector of backwoodsmen and seafar ing men, the habitant_ reached . the house first, and, placing the-oven prayer-book on the table, defies the louplarou to cross the threshold. Ile is in time to sprinkle the dying Wan with holy water, receive his -last words, and close his eys. Then fastening his beads ; upon the lintel to preserve the *widow - and children from the loup•garou, he sets . out to call the neighbors . and fetch the priest, that the body may receive Christian burial. It is.proper to add that in the good old times, when the' habitant was blessed with abundant harvests from a virgin soil, and hard drinking was the rule,--// east soul comme ,dans les bonnes annex's is a proverb,-lOupgarous were =more numerous than they are now. . • Don't be Alarmed at Bright's Disease, Diabetes,-or any dis ease ortho_kidneys, liver or urinary or gans, as Hop Bitters will certainly and lastingly cure you, and it is the only thing that will. —Love is a . severe• critic.

The time fixed in the bill,name ly, twenty years, is "unreasonable." The' language of article one, that ''laborers" shall not be absolutely prohibited from coming to the United States, and' that the "suspension shall be reasonable" as well as the .nego tiations, indicate that a brief period was intended. The total piohibition of the immigratiOn of Chinese labor. era into the,United States for twenty years - Would in my opinion be unrea sonable and:a violation of the mean ing aed intent of the treaty. 2. The inclusion of "skilled labor" in the bill is an addition to the wordi and intent Of tbe treaty. ,It will op erate with harshbess_upon a class of Chinese merchants entitled to admits sion to the United States under the terms of thd treaty. The - shoe mer chants and cigar merchants of China manufacture the goods they sell at their places of business, and to shut out the - "skilled labor" they need would p,iiictically shut them out as well, since it. would prevent them from carrying on their business in this country. The laundryman who keeps his shop arid has a small capi tal' with which to prosecute his trade cannot in any Just sense be included in the class of, "laborers," and the me - echant tailor comes in the same category. - 4. The clauses of the bill relating to registration and passports are ' a vexatious discrimination against Chinese -residents and immigrants,- when article 2 _ provides explicitly that they shall be entitled to alt the privileges conceded to the subjects of the 'most favored nation. The ei ecutiou of these pi ovisions of the bill will cause- irritation, and in case of loss of the passport or certificate of registration, Chinese residents en- _ titled to remain may be forcibly ex pelled from the country. 4. If the bill becOmes a law, it will leave the impression in-China that its government strangely misunder stood the character of the treaty, or that the Congress has violated some of its provisions, and that will tend _to prejodice the intelligent clasizig against the United States goTern- Ment and people, whom they now greatly' dmire and respect. 5. There - is fo provision in the'bill for the transit across the United 'Statesiit Chinese subjects now resid ing in foreign countries. Large num- • hers of Chinese live-in Cuba, Peru,_ and other countries, who. cannot turn home without crossing the ter ritory of the United Statept betouch ing at Safi - Francise. . To deny_this privilege ; it seems to me, is in viola tion of international law and the comity of nations, and if the bill be comes a law, it will in this respect result in great hardship to many thousands of innocent 'Chinese_ foreign countries.
