In the autumn of 1777, whett h Lasei Howe had possession of Philadelphia, the situation of the Americans who could 'not follow.their commander,was trnlidistressing. To obtain the common necessaries of life, particularly :flour, they bad to - go as far as Bristol, a distance of eighteen or twenty miles, and even this indulgence was not granted- them until a pass was procured—from Lord Howe, as' guards were -placed, along Vine Street, extending from the Delaware to the Schuyl kill;forming a s great barrier ; beyond these, through the woods,extending as far as Frank ford; were stationed the-piquet guards, thus rendering k in a manner impossible to reach -Bristol mills until first obtaining one. 's The Commander-in-chietand the American forces went then encaniped at Volley Forge, suffering from cold, hunger and-the season. The British revelled inplenty, and spent their days in feas:ing, their nights in balls, riots -and dissipation.; thus resting-sin supposed security, while the American , Chieftain was planning a mode of final extermination. A poor woman with small childien, whose husband was at Valley Forge. lied made fregueni application fora pass. Engagement made it impossible for her -cruel tormenters -to give her one. Rendered deirerate from disappointment and the cries .of her children, she started alone without a pass,and by' good luck eluded .the guard' and reached Bristol. Among those who fought on the American - side, were six brothers by the name of Doale, who'about this time committed many-acts of heroic bravery, but more in the character of marauders than soldiers. They were men full six feet high, stout and active ; a fearless intrepidity characterized their deede,aod they always succeedel in making their escape. • •Ouradventurond female having procured her flour in a pillow case, holding- about twenty pounds, was- ieturnirg with light heart to hnxious and lonely babies. She'had passed the piquet guard at . Frankford, and was just entering the woods a little this side ' %alma a tall; stoud man stepped from behind a tree,and_putting a letter into her hand, said.: '_!Four husband is well, madam4-and re quitsted me to say that in a short time he will be with you; moneyis a scarce article among ui—l mean them ; but on account of your hnsband'sparliality to the cause 'of liberty, I am willing to become. his banker ."

Incident in an Insane Asylum. - The following narration exhibits something of the craftiness arid cunning , of the insane., but especially the tact and great presence of mind necessary on the part of the conductors, particularly in emergencies, when dwelling with their patients : ' The former excellent matron, Mrs. Reid-, with her attendant, generally called Elizie, had 'gone, as usual in the morning, into the apartments of the most raving female. They were all yet in theirseparate apartinentsleadi ing into the long hall. On some occasions Mts. R. had gone forward to the farther end, and Elizie, contrary to regulations, had open id one of the uartments,where a very strong, insane woman ftt. This woman was some, times very furious,and would not fear to com mit any deed, even to take life, if provoked. She had formerly drank excessively, and was ardently fond of cherry wine; but there wae no difficulty in dealing with her when she .knew that her teenagers were stronger than herself. On. this occasion, as Elizie entered, the bundle of keys were imprudently left io the door, and arrangements were making to bathe this insane women. Watchingcarefelly her opportunity, the woman slipped by Elizie, shut the door and turned the keys ; then, with the bound of a wild beist, her eyes Bashing with excitement:, she sprang forward to Mrs. -Reid, and ex ; :Claimed : "Oh 1 . Mother Reid, I've shut Elizie in my room, leave got the keys, and you areln my power." Mrs. Reid, being a person of only ordinary strength, knew she could do 'nothing with her, but pleasantly replied : "Well, and so what you propose to de 'now f' • The fierce woman_ replied "I'm going to shut you up, too; and open the other doors, and let all the woman otit." "Wll," said Mrs. Reid, "and what then I" "Then I'm going to San Francisco," was the reply. i•Whyl in there clothes you have on I" said Mrs. Reid, "surely every body will laugh , at - "Oh, well," was the; reply, after'a moment's survey of her clothes, "I will go and buy me some new ones in San_Franeisco." "But,:' said Mrs. Reid, "you can't, because eve!) , one will know at onee-hy these clothe* Pal VA fOinutibtar" again." Stopping for a moment for effect, as the raving woman *as looking at her dress, she added : "Noir, I- know 'where all the new -dresses are,imd I can fix you out's() that no one shall deteLt Yon. You don't know the room, but com b s with me and I can show you." So together -they started along the hall. As they were going, the insane woman hold= ing tight the keys, Mrs. Reid observed to her : • ". ow, do you supposelbat for a bottle of sherry wine von could pick out the key to Elizies door'!" "'Yes ;" was the reply, "fori bottle of slier: Ty wine Lcould." "I hardly think you can," said Mrs. Reid. "Yes, I can," was the reply._ "Well, now," said . Mrs. R id, "let. ns see whether you can." The insane woman tamed at once to the door where Elizie was locked in, and tried one key, and it scald not Rawer ; next, an other was tried and failed, and the eagerneis of the woman increased as each key failed, till a little while the right key was reached, tinned with a wrench and the door tbroSn wide open. In, a moment Elul aprasT and Mrs. Reid grasped the insane wornae a- round the waistypinning her arms to her body, and Elizie,ln a like Manner; seized her rolind the kiwer limbs, and stir was quickly home by the two into h mash, and the two, stepping out; turned the, ley, then first to breathe easy since the d'airger waipercerhil.

October Zl, 185 g. Tilt Sortant of POII* A PERSIAN STORY iadallab was a prosperous barber at Sbiraz. He married a-woman of surpassing beauty, but exeessiv s ely vain , so that his whole substance was consumed" in providing her with dresses, trinkets, and the luxuries of a miniature - harem. Above all ether women,the wife - of Hassan, the king's astrologer, was envied by the wife of Abdallab, the nnostentatous barber ; for this lady affected great grandeur, and could afford it, on account of the large salary and handsome presents bestowed upon her bulk head. One day the discontented beauty announc -ed to Abdallah that she would no longer continue to live with him, unless he up the miserable business of" barber and adopt that of astrology. In vain .did be represent to her that trimming beards was bit' habit, while of astrological predictions he knew nothing; she insisted, and the unfortunate man, infatuated by affection, resolved to obey. So, observing the eccentric practices of the astrologers, he took a brass basin and pestle of steel into the bazar, and - smiting his basin, cried albud that be would .calculate nativities, predict the events of the future, detect thieve; and recover lost property. Ilis.beighbors were astonished, and and all said, ‘Abdallab, the barber, is certainly mad.' But tt chanced .that a certain lady returning from the bath walked through the bent with her veil torn ;' she appeared io great distress, and upon bearing the cry of Abdallab, she sent one of her slaves to him with thissmes. sage : "If you aie an impbster, my husband shall cense you to be -bastinaded ; if you are really an astrologer, inform me wherel shall find a nectace of pearls which I have lost this day." Poor Abdallab,bewilderekgazed upon the lady, and gaining time to invent an answer, said "She can will the pearls, when they are oear, for the veil is torn 1" These words were reported to her by the slave, and sbe'uttered a cry of joy. "Admirable - prophet," she exclaimed, "I placed my pearls for safety in 'a rent that is in the batb ; ' and she ordered Abdallah to be presented with forty gold pieces. - Now, it should be known - that in the Per sian baths there MC screens, the name of which is the same as the native word "veil." So A bdallab,by a luck accident of speech,had not only saved himself (torn the basticado, but he gained forty pieces of gold. At length, another lady, the wife of the king's treasurer, made her appearance, and just at that moment a messenger from the treasurer came up to Abdallah, in the bazar, and listened: "Abdallab," ea% the slave, "my master has logt the king's-great ruby ; if thou hast the , wisdom of the star., - thou canst find it ; if not, thou art a pretender, and I will assured ly cause thee to be bastinadoed." This time the unfortunate barber was at his wit's end. "Oh, woman!" he exclaimed, "thou art the author of this." He meant his own wife, but the wife of the treasurer, who - stood by, imagined he referred to her. Guilt is always pale, the poet says. She berselthad stolen the king's, ruby, and believed that the astrologer was aware of her crime. So when the messenger had departed, leaving the barber petrified with perplexity, she approached him, and said, in a soft tone - .• .9, astrologer ! I confess that in an hour of avarice I took the jewel. Restore it,with out sending me to , condemation !" Abdallab sternly replied : • "Woman, I knew thy guilt, Where is the jewel I" . . "Under the fourth cushion frOm the door," she answered, "in the apartment of Kashom, ,my lord's Georgian slave." • Abdallah hastened to the palace, was re warded with a robe of tronor.,s thousand gold piece., and A costly ornament. - -Urged bv b* wife, Abdallab essayed once mtire. The liing t s treasure bad been broken open, and forty chests of thorrev bad been stolen. Toe royal astrologer had tried every sort of divination and failed, and win there fore iidisraie. 'Hut the fame of Abifelhth, which - was now spoken (4 in all Shiraz:, bad reached the ear of the king,Who Slat for him,' and gain hie& andience in the Hall of Kalmet Serponebideb. „ "Abdallab," be said, with a revere rx primion of his face, "art thou truly able, to read the - stars r' !Tut me to-the proof !" answered the barber, who was now prepared for the worst. "Then discover the forty chests of money which had been stolen, as well as the crimi nal. Succeed, and then thou shalt marry a princess, and become my minister ; fail and I will hang thee !". "There csust.have been, forty thieves !" said Abdallab, making a fortunate arid not very &Seek guess. "Grant me forty days !" "Forty days .thou shalt have," said the king, "and thou shalt then' die t -or lire for 1 riches and, Isonce-."• • So die barber rie nt`i'iotrieaod told his wife, and' said, "I'have forty days to live ; I will sit upon my prayer mat end mediate on the evils of life and the blessings of death.

The distinguished , American Poet, never attests' a truer sentiment, nor one to which the world is blinder. Few are aware of the real, solid, substantial good,tbat earnest effort can acquire, the genuine treasures that it can amass. To most persons life is a fiction, a doubtful, shadoiy state, of which they are the aimless, purposeless subjects.. They have perhaps some notion of a good which they at intervals pursue andlancy real,but the slight. Est apprehension of the , deep, firm and rich substratum to existence that vigorous activi ty alone can disclose. Itre ;do s not 'refer to the great 'reality of life, bef ondihr glare, but to that which is intniied in the present state. Numbers not positiirely vicious, and even moral and religious persons, float amid dense mists along the vapory surface of life, un conscious of the world of' beauty and wealth beneath.
