OE mile to the Westward of the town, there is an old burying ground, which is a favorite resort of the St, Thomas idlers. One Sunday afternoon, about four weeks af ter -wo had seen the schooner - Sarah Ford alongsid6 the wharf in Bangor, :von mimht lave discovered her comman er. Capt. Josh, lying his fall length . on a black marble slab that covered a grave - under a large tamarind tree in the old burying ground: Captain Josh was figuring away, with a biz pier e of chalk in. his 'lingers, and the marble slab for a slate, calculating the expenses of the voyage and the actual profits to himself, after having - paid for his cargo, which he had bought in Bangor on credit. After a while he gut through with his calcu lations, and drawing forth his handker,chief. he- irefully wiped the chalk - marks fro in the polished marble, and lazily rolled. off the slab into a perfeet little thicket of lilies and honey suckles, which _grew, up in wild _luxuriance alongside of the tomb. His intention was to t a k e a c omlor l able afternoon nap: hut, ust ai he was about to close his eyes, the sound o - r voices near by, and approaching, still nearer; aroused him; and a moment after, two indi vithials, whom he had often seen since his Iv rival, seated themselves on the very slab which , he had so' recently occupied. These two persons were—one, his exeellen-. ev Governor Yan Sholtonberg, ()ISt. Thomas, and the other the captain of a beautiful aym ed schooner under the New Granarlian flag% which had for a week past been lying in the harbor, well out towards' Prince itupe i rt's Iloeks. For several years past, the Governor of St. Thomas had been suspected of: being,connect ed with the slave trade. lima twice he had - been called home to . Copenhagen to answer charges preferred against him. But he had each time been able to prove his immcence, or the Gov ernment had been unable to 'prove his guilt,- which amounted to the same thing, and the Baron Van Sholtonberg still retained the office of Governor of St. Thomas. Capt. Josh Was perfectly - concealed under the friendly - shade of the henry-stickle and lilies, and lying Very toilet, he soon le:true:l from the, conversation of the two gentlemen seated on the tomb, that his excelleney was not only engaged in the Africatt slave trade, but that he .was :Xo connected with a still freer trade, in which the cruisers wore tlie 6/ac/,..f10y at the main pi yak.. lie also leartn.d that the pretended captain of-the New Gra nadian schooner was no less a personage than Charles Mitchell, the celebrated Piruk I.lw 011/1: Captain Forbes, heard a great many thing that aqonished him: and when the two wor thies left the ohl graveyard, lie crept out of his place of concealment with a much poorer opinion of the world's honesty than he had when he rolled off the marble slab an hour previously. • The Oranadian schooner went to sea on the following morning, firing a salute us she got under way, whin IA as returned by the outer fort.

JAI, Forbes, for. onee in his life, was in a quandary. •He couldn't get (tut to sea atrah , , for the wind was blowing tc pare into the'creek. and lie knew that lief; tre the land Lreeze would set in at night, the gentlemen from the `4 elov,lll- er altove would pay him a visit ; and then good bye to all hopes of marrying, his little schooner's namesake, for all that lie was worth in the world, and cons.iderahly more, was in the . ye, , sel. lie lied with hint the vt-hole pro ceeds of the cargo which lie Intd, Thumas, aull which he was . )Lt in debt for at Bangor. Pyr rive minutes the Yankee captain was lost in a -deep study, when all at once a bright idea seemed to ,(Tike him, for he brightened ult and • r. 7 ' • „ addre , sed himself particularly to the young man who acted as mate in. the schooner, Ingi arren, do you think von can take then .arali Ford home to Bangor?" eap'n.

In two minat , .s the Sarah Ford was deserted by-all hands. Capt. Josh took the compass from Warren, and le , / hi; little crow back from the crifek about a quarter of a mile, when he shaped 14i; course by compass, so as t4o kt:p a oaf: dp:iihout parafFF,fith - flie Junk.

About the time that Forbes' and- his crew came in sight of. the schooner, the pirate had mustered all hands and just started off down the bank of the creek to overhaul the Sarah Ford. As soon as _their were out of sight in the bushes, Forbes whispered to his men: "2s;ow's our chance—out knives and cut her fasts. Then jump aboard and shove off, and then put sail on her." The captain's orders were promptly obeyed, and in less than ten minutes. the Nev Grana (llan armed schooner Brandy-.-Ther favorite cruiser of Mitchell, the pirate—was under all sail, and passing rapidly down the Western ehanni‘l. At the moment that the pirates reached the lon siqmoner, they saw their own ve;=sel under way and going to Ica. Instantly comprehendimy, the Yankee trick, tijid. boiling with rage, they immediately got the Sarah Ford under way and followed her: In half an hour, both vessels were outside. Forbes, with his new command, was running away to the We:-tward, about it point free, and keoping the lair of his sails lightening. s' that she shouldn't no too fast through the wa:or. The pirate was standing right on in his Ivalm, crowding on all sail to overhaul him. leading them (4f ahout ten miles. rapt. Follies sullenly tacked ship and stoofl back on the other tack tor,ards the pirates, and, passing them to windward, just out of pistol shot, he hailed them: "Now, gentlemen,.you will please keep on as you are going. It you attempt to haul us I'll sink von." A yoll of mingled rage and despair rang out from the pirates' detd:. atlinnuediately the schooner's hilio was put hard down, in order to go in stays. Ana they diAtoO. 111 an instant the Fichoon er%3 hehav,•ns put up, and .ire was kept off on her course. eapttiin Josh reefed his fore and aft sails, so his vessel would just hold way with the other schoOner, and then he kept on after her, just within Hecht Maroc range; all through the night—wl mu' ciel.r anti heauticul— t wii on ever the pirates appt‘ared to forget their nrders, tuld hegan toleen off, ~r intuit° off their course, a gentle hint front Forbes' long pivot gun brou,dittliein to their senses tlirectly.

There are few persons, no matter how many or how few the duties which devolve upon them, who would not gain much by adopting some systemof s:s.‘steunitiealt: - ranging their duties, and properly distributing their time. We believe the number of those whose greatest anxiety is how they can' most easily= "kill time," is fast passing away, and we would gladly see the last of such a race. While there are so many hungry to. feed, fallen to raise up, ignorant to instruct, and out-cast to redeem, there can surely be no reason why time should hang heavily upon the hands, even of those whom affluent cir cumstances release from all care of providing for their own wants. The most careless ob servers - cannot but be struck with the vast dif ference hi the households of their friends where there seems to be - an equal .amount of labor to lie perthrmed and care ,to.bn exorcised. We aro no friends ,of that precision which would sacrifice the comfort of all around, rather than leave a certain piece of work un performed, yet we think sonic general system as closely conformed to as circumstances will permit, would greatly diminish the care, and equally enhance the enjoyment of many fami ly circles—while many young ladies who now accomplish little beyond the general routine of HOCiety—might in this wayfind time - for the performance of ninny duties now left undone. ,--Ladies!
