The frirls went into IVO - dressing room, where they found the newiicholer. She was a mild, intellirrent , lookiog child, but very poorly though :tidily clad. The girls went around her,—,Whisperittg and liughing with each other, -while she stood trembling and hlushintr in, one corner of ,the rootn,,witb ,,ut even venturing to raise 14ef eyes from the When they entered school, they found that the little girl was far in advance of those of her age to her Studies, and was placed in clsea with-those two or three year's her sen ior. This seemed, en the whole, to - make those 'girls wbo were disposed "to treat her unkindly dislike her more; and she, being of a retiring disposition, through their influence had no friends, but went " - and returned• from school alone.

Al though 'Lizzie had been a member cif tithe school but one terra, yet she gained the in - dal, and it was worn -from the Academy b neath the despised garment. Weeks, months and years glided away t the students of the Bridgeville Academy, and the little 'Calico Cloak` wasforgot ten.

' Twelve years after, Mrs. Lee and her daughter left town, a Mr. Maynard, a youn clergyman, came into Bridgeville, and we settled as pastor of the village church. f i t was reportedat the sewing circle, the wre' . following his ordination, that it was expectefl he would bring hit bride into town in a feW weeks.- There was a great' curiosity to self her, and especially, after it was reported that she was a talented young authoress.- A few weeks after, Mr. Maynard gratifl4 their curiosity by walking into church with his yoting-wife leaning on his arm. She was, a lady of great intellectual beauty, and ever body (as they always are at first,) wan deeply interested in the young minister am, his wife. The following week the ladies flocked t. see her, and r t he promised to meet them at th next gathering of the sewing circle. The day arrived, and although it was quit storiny,Mrs. Deacon Brown' parlor was fillc( with smiling faces. The deacon's carting was sent to the parsonage after Mrs. Maynard and indue time arrived, bringing the lad With it.

I=ll=l My most intimate acquaintance at Scanset was a Nantucket "skipper" who had once been chewed up by a whale—his surviving to tell the story, of course, being simply be• cause the dainty leviathan, not liking the taste of him, had dropped the unwilling mouthful out again npon the clean table cloth of the ocean. This was forty years ago, and it is a rare instance, yon will allow, of a motilel proring pleasant company so long after being rejected by a reluctant stomach at sea. should ask pardon, however, for speaking thus familiarly of one of the best specimens of manhood that 'I" have ever had the happi ness to meet—a sea captain now in his see.- enty-third year, -as tall, stittight, vigorous and cheerful, at this advanced age, as when a mate of. twenty-five—one of the most res pectable citizens of New _Bedford, at present, and enjoying a comfortable independence, from the capture of the whale that wouldn't eat him, and of other whales who similarly left him unswallowed. But I must give you the particulars of the half mastication of Capt. Gardner, who, by the way, in addition to his singular experience as a moutlifel, has the 'peculiarity of being the son of the first white male child born on Nantucket. "Newly arrived at the honors.of captaincy, our Nantucket skipper was cruising along the coast of south America justoff Peru— when there was a.cry from the mast head, "a whale ho 1" The direction was. given, the sails trimmed for the overtaking of the monster, and When, within - 11 mile,, the boats were lowered, each with its crew of six. Quietly afloat lay the amphibious Shylock of the sea, and as the swift hat came within harpooning distance, the _inevitable iron, hurled by the strong arm, penetrated his vi tals. Not as usual, however, did the struck monster go out of sight; turning and taking straight for his enemies, he rolled over his huge bulk to get a fairer grip, and brought his jaws together upon the boat's prow— the forward half of that slight structure, cap tain and all disappearing like the best part of an apple tart in the munch of a hungry school boy. The remaindei of the crew had jumped ortrborud, and as the whale, with another roll, dived- down Is die out of sight, be threw up the unsWallowed cap tain—the relief boitt pulling instantly to -the spot, and taking the crushed morsel and the five swimmers safely from- the water. It was the chewed up tight hand of the captain. as he sat by me at the table, which had at first excited my curicsity—stimulating the inquiries which :drew front hint, at last this thrilling story—the stump, or wl a' is 'visible below the coat sleeve, looking like a twisted, rope's end, but still retaining clutch enough to carry the chowder spoon to his mouth. Four of the whale's teeth were driv en into him, one entering his skull, a second breaking his collar hone. mi arm, and the fiurth crushing his-hand— the remainder -of his body • being limply squeezed into a jelly. The healing of the wound in the bead left a cavity like the side of an egg shell ; and though the hair has still grown over it, it after forty years the size of The tooth that did it.— I laid the ends of my three fingers very com fortably-in the hollow. Capt. Wrdner, providentially, though so nearly eaten up, retained lull of his senses. His first mate was,yoatig, but a very smart lad,-and possessed fortunately of Yens kee aptitude--good at everything; and with the aid of the sufferer's directions he did the work of a surgeon. The captain ordered him first to make splints and then to set his broken arm—the collar - bone being left to heal itself, unset as it remains this day, with out perceptibly affecting his erect shape, or the action of his chest, and the other wounds being bandaged in the usual way. He was then laid on the cabin floor, and with a bed 'made of some of the lw.v,s of an old log-book, he was ktipt as cool as was any way possible —for it was the hottest of South Sea. Feel ing, however, that his life depended on the exercise of his strong will, he gave • orders that he should_ by no possibility be allowed to seep over five minutes at si time. And with this vigilant watch kept up for five days, the ship navigatftl, by his directions, as he lay on the cabin floor, entered the port of Peru. A boat sent immediately cat shore, brought on troald the Emperor's physician, who, on looking at the prostrate man and examining hiri wounds, advised only that they should send for a confessor. Othey prescriptions the medical man thought would be useless, as death was ',evidently close at hand. But the captain was of a different - opinion. " A physician for the soul is very well at the proper time and place," said he, "but at present I want one-for the body—and I hap pen to know of one who will-cute me!" It so happened that in a previous touch at the same port, Capt. Gardner had heard of the sick mate of an-American vessel who had been left - behind by his shipmates, and to whom as a charity to a suffering countryman, he then °tiered 'a passage home. The man's Message of- reply was that he fortunately stood in no need of kindness, as lie was under the care of a Spanish doctor who lived at Von, a village back in the mountains, and who had taken him to his house and treated him like Lis own child. And for this kind old doctor Capt. Gardner now sent with all convenient haste—dispensing at once with 4ny further attendance by the physician of the Emperor. Early on the second morning' arrived the "good Samaritan," and theses comfort in his first took and encouragement in his first words. lie could cure the crushed man if he had him at his house in the-mountains. But how to get him there? There.-was no road —only a mule path along the edges of preei pices, climbin g wild cliffs, and scrambling through tangled ravines—forty miles of foot path penetianng the depths of wilderness. But the'Captain's Yankee ingenuity sec onded the good will of the doctor. lie con- Gloated a new vehicle as be biy—in the.oth- Or physician's opinion—dying on, the door.-- A couple of -king, light spars were brought by his orders,ited a hammock was rigged to awing suspended from the centre. His friend had two mules, and with the spars fastened to their aides, they were to walk like the bearers of 'a, palanquin, one., before and the other &Mild ; tantlenr hammock, in which he could-ride, he was sure, quite, as comfortable as men could carry him. And of the two day's journey thiii - made over the meentains, Capt. Gardner's descrip tion was one of. glowing remembrance. By the elasticity of the spats vidiiett supported him; he was borne without jolting, and part of the time he slept most refreshingly. But the path Was a giddy one to a sailor's eye along the edge of cliffs, where a simile falae step would have dashed him and his males " into a grease spot,' and-now and then turn ing where his 'two spars formed. a bridge from mule to -mule ' .ofer chasm—hundreds 'of feet of jagged rocks, nearly perpendicular, stretching away below, as he looked occasion ally over the side of his mattress. They arrived safely at the mountain .home of the old Spaniard, however, and here all - was coot - tint and. kind care. They-only dif fared on one point. The doctor thought the broken collar-bone should lie set ; but the captain resisted. He had felt the bi'oken ends knit where they were, he said, and Na ture's mending would do for him, and he was right, for, after forty Nears, be opened his shirt bosom and showed me•the ridgy projec. lion of the broken bone, strong and healthy, and doing as good service as a whole one that very day at,Scrinset. It took two weeks of kind nursing to pia him on his legs again, and then with a grate ful farewell to the kind oid doctor of Pura, Captain Gardner 'returned to his ship, taking command, and once more pursuing. the object of li:s voyage. And soon harpooning the requisite number of whales, lie Lcturned pros perously home. • For an instrurce of indomitable energy this can hardly be outdone, I should think ; and to see the eiect,loble-looking and , hearty oid man of seventy-three, as I saw him an hour :or two ago, walking home to his dinner, with a light step and good appetite at New-Bed ford, forty years after being eaten up by' a whale in • the. South Sea-, is to get-a fine idea of the stuff of a Nantucket whale man I Voyage around a Pudding. Dr. Bushwhacker folded his napkin, drew it through the silver ring, laid it on the ta ble, folded his arms, and leaned back in his chair, by which we knew there was somethig at work in his knowledge box. "My dear madam," said-he, with an aboriginal shake of the head, there are a great many things to be said about that pudding." Now, such a remark at a •serFon of the year m hen eggs, are five for a shilling, and not always fresh at that, is enough to discom fort anybody. The doctor perceived it at once, and instantly added, "in a geographical point of view, there am ro>oy things tO be said about that pudding. My .flear madam," lie continued, " take tapioca itself; what is it, • and %%here does it come from ?" Our eldest boy just emerging from chick-, en hood, answered, " 85 Chambers street, tio doors below the Irving llouse. "True, my dear Young friend," responded the doctor, with a friendly fat on the head ; " true, but that is not what•l mean. Where." h . mi „.,, c „ d „ Tonnt;nts;ner lArlk through his spectacles, and a bushwhackian nod, " does tapioca come from I" de Janeiro and Para ?" " Yeq, sir ; from Rio de Janeiro in the southern anal Parain the northern part of the lirazils, do we get bur tapioca; from the roots of a plant called the Mandioca, botan ically the Jafropha Muniliot, or, as - they say, Cassava. The roots are long and round, like a - sweet potato; generally a foot or more in length. Every joint of the plant will pro duce its roots like the cuttings of a grape vine. The tubers are.dug up from the ground, peeled, scraped, or grated, then put in long sacks of flexible rated—sacks,s'x feet long. or mom; and at the bottom of the sack they suspend a large.stone, by which the flexible sides are contracted, awl then out pours the' cassava juice in a pan placed below to - receive it. This juice is poisonous, sir, highly poi• sonous, and very volatile. Then, my dear madam, it is macerated in water, and the residumni, after the I.lritile part, the poison, is evaporated, is the innocuous farina, which lOoks like small crumbs of bread, and whiCh we call tapioca. The • best kind of tapioca comes from Rio, which ie, I believe, abotit five thousand five hundred miles from New York; so we mist put down that as a little more than one-fifth of our voyage around the . puddirig." - This made our eldest open his eyes. - , • "Eggs and milk," continued Dr. Bush whacker, "are home productions ; but sugar, relined sugar, is made partly of the moist and sweet yellow sugar of .Louisiana, partly of the hard and dry sugar of thirs West-Indies. I will not go intoth - e`process of refining su gar now, but I may observe here, that the aim gar we get from Louisiana, if refined arid made into a loaf, would be quite soft, with large loose chrystals; while Havana sutras, Rubjectedio the same treatment, would make a white cone almost as compact and hard as granite. lint we have mad 6 a trip to the Antilles for our sugar, and so you may add Meet) hundred miles moreLfor the saccharnzu. "That is , equal to nearly one-third Qf the circumference of tire pudding we lire upcin, doctor." . .. . " Vanilla," continued the doctor, " with which this pudding cs so delightfully llsvored, is the bean of a vine that grows wild in the multitudinous forests of Venezuela, - New 1 Granada, Guiana ' and in fact, throughoht South America.

No, sir.

Alt t there are a great many such bobs haughig.at the tail of- some ancestral kite, even in this great city, My dear learned friend."

That, air, is the history of the flavoring, and you will have to allow a stretch across the Carribbean, say, twenty-five hundred miles,for the vanilla." " We are getting pretty well round, don tor." Then- we have Ranee here, wine-sauce— Tenetiffe, 1 should.say, by the flavor. from beneath the cliff Of sunny-sided Teneriffe And ripened in the blink Of India's sun." We must take four thousand miles at least for the wine, my learned friend, and say nothing of the rest of the settee.' 'Except the nutmeg, doctor.' 'Thank you my dear young friend ; thank you. The nutmeg I To the Spice Islands in the Indian Ocean we are indebted for our nutmegs. ' Our old original, Knickerbockers, the web-footed Dufolimen,have the monopoly of this trade.

We have already traveled twenty-five thousand five hundred miles a round it, and wow let us re-circumnavigate, an t i come back by the way of Mexico, so that we can get a silver spoon, and penetrate into the interior." Foolish Virgins. In olden -times there were "five foolish virgins." We are afraid that. there ate fully aunany as that at the present day. Some of them were horn fogliell by the example of their weak-minded mothers; and some of them have made themselves foolish. See that dashing belle, flounced from her heels to her arm pits, and bedizened with jewelry„, pearls, gents and precious stones. Her mother thinks her an angel ; and she. thinkilleisellan archangel; but she is a 'fool ish virgin'—that is all she is.

Ihri. all the adorning that this foolish virgin has is She has no solid education, no mental cultu.„ and nO noble and generous heart. She is not rpralified for any u-efuliress in the world, ti4e fulness except as a frame on which to exhibit dry goo& and the dressmaker's skill. And when she shall appear before her Maker,strip ped of her 'outward adorning,' and without that precious 'ornament of the heart,' what a miserable figure that foolish wirgin will cut. It is awful, to. think of the future of these mere butterflies.of fashion. What is she good forl She could not make. a -loaf of bread, nor roast a turkey, nor bake a pudding. Ste could not knit a tidy, though she often knits her brow. She could not darn a stonking, though she could darn everything else. The most simple article of dress that adorns her body she could net make. 'She . toils not, neither does she spin, yet Solomo n, in alihis glory, is not arrayed like her.' she has eery little mind. Her head is hollow. She can only talk of theatres,balls, fashion and beaux. Her moral nature is wholly uncultivated. She spends more time in examining fashion plata,tlian in examining her poor-little heart; more, time in reading lot& stories than in reading the blessed Bible. What on earth is she good for I She is a bill of useless ex pense to her father, and It barren fig tree in the moral vineyard.
