Having every desire satisfied, Adeline nee erexperienced a sadmoinenti only as she beheld it in others. ; During the spring of IS—, her parents remov ed from the Scene of her childhood, in the State of Connecticut, to the city of New York. Here, mingling with the higher classes, she soon obtain ed many admirers and many there were Mao laid claim to her dearest affections, but none were' as 'successful as Edward Edward Was bore-6f honorable and respected parents in tile cityXof New York. They introtlu ced him into that society :of which he even at on early age become a happy ornament. With a disposition naturally reserved, he mingled little a mid the livelier sports of his more cheerful swa n s, but rather sough; tho society of men eminent in litektary attainments, and consequently, in the pursuit of literature obtained a high reputation. Shortly after _completing his collegiate studies, he conceived the idea of visiting Europe, and view ing scenes of which he wad ignorant except by reputation. His father -favoring his design, ho relinguished the view which is had previously en tertained, of commencing some professional pui ; suit, and left his native country at thane of twen ty -p ve. After art absence of a few yeara ho terossed the Atlantic. Dating this period his searching, eye had wandered with an admiring gaze over almost every portion of the ancient world. Visiting Ita ly, he acquired a knowledge of the fine arts, wept user the ruins of Imperial Rtinae, and conversed. with ths spims:of the lofty great ; those who once swayed the sceptre of a now fallen world. Jour neying through Greece, he summoned to his im agination and communed with the fathers of lit erature. lie explored the dark and silent regions of the catacombs of Egipt, mounted the. cloud cup'd pyramid, and sighed over the fallen column, that proud memorial ,of former grandeur. With the hand of an experienced aMiquarian, be treas ured up relies of Scythian and\fersian grandeur ; and, visiting Jerusalem, partici a commemorative of Holy antiquity ; and with e lofty ambition of; a hardy adventurer, he left is name deep engra- Yee in the highest peak of the towering Alps, and impressed his , footsteps In the lonely sandy des ert. • If learning, acquired by travel end experience if honor, and an undissembled love of virtue form ed the man, Edward stood high in the, stale of 11,e ing. Thus did ho return,to his native country. Renewing views which he' had previously aban doned on his departure, he commenced A profes sional career and looked forward with high expec tations of the future. 'The day was just closing, when I look my as seat on the Battery. The sun, yet ling ering in the golden west,. sent forth his soft and gilded beam, tinging the fleecy clouds that floated high in the ether air, the playful , wave supported on the mirror bay, and the distant bill, whose base was already obscured by a rising mist that floated lazily around them, with his parting ray. Many and varied were the scenes that attracted my attention. The smiling female, as she prom enaded the circling paths, basking in the sunshine of youth, resting on the willing arm of the equal ly cheerful, and no less happy beau.—The accom plished wife, who, having thrown off the playful ness of youth, now walked with the stately step and all the lultiness,of womanhood. While the little prattling, artless child, played with his favor im lop-dog an the entan4led grass: The little „bark, rocked by the gentle curling billow, and the huge White-winged Messenger," destined soon to rest on the Wide bosom of a trackless ocean, and more subservient to its mighty heave, were under the - influence- of the evening air, moving, off and on the beautiful harbor that spread far and wide a • before my eyes. The music of the playful warbler of the dial ant wood, the , still murmur of the frelfel wave, end the harnia'ny of the 'gentle zephyr, m it sighed throughlhe branches that moved majestically a bove myktiead, lulled my imagination into a balmy slumber; and the whispering.star of 'fancy, that had heretofore held its reveries, was about sinking into rest, then a gentle pressure on the shoulder brought me to recollection—it was the hand of Edward-4 deep' blush covered his face, as be made me acquainted with Adeline, who stood at his side, as his wife! ' Yes ! Edward was now the happiest man the world contained ; fur in the possesstons of Adeline all his earthly hcpeamere realized ; all that mem ory could reflect with pleasure on, was his. For a while they were happy. But alas ! how veiled are the scenes of life ! To day, we bask within the golden biam of jay one hopo that lights Ws transitory. hour—Ls-morrow are our feelings tent by the whirlwindlof despair, or we become dwellers within the deep shadow of oblivion,— The. gilded page of existenat,* which is eihibi- Mil 'the golden imprint of futuritymisily lobe read, as at an unwanted hour, rendered. imperceptible by a withering doubt, or blemished by ridark and barthcncil cloud: against which the wind of time may beat, but never move! Soon, alas too soon, did Adeline feel the:chilling hand of misfortune press heavy, and kith a cold, relentless power control her existence !—Soon did a veil of - iiorrow enshroud her being, and the deep abyss of misery yawn fur its victim! Scarce had the cop of bliss : reached her lips,.ere it was Joked aside, and replaCed by one filled to the very brim with the bitter gall of pothiry ! A change indeed ! The thread of existence is but frail, and the hope that binds us toll transitory world, is but a mist that lingers round the imagination, subject to the controlling inflonme of despair Distance severs the chain of intimacy, however welt cemented. . For many years were the virtues and the charms of Adeline and Edward lost to re collection; hut a return to my native place, after a protracted atisence,lagairt revived my former so licitude, and they were the finst objecie of my in-' quity. Bat they were gone, and apparently lost to me forever ! ' • It was a dark, cheerless, melancholy night in the month of January, when I threw myself upon a sofa in my fathers drawing room. The murmur. ing,,frettitig wind blowing and whistling fearfully around; the bail rattling against the casement. and the chill that crept through nay frame, in des. plte ,of a large and cheetful fue, brought to my im agination all the horrors of a winter's night. • ' The elements without continued their ceaseless the 'blaze Which hid. preciously Woman' Ole .riaitu,avu cast dying aWay eyery object was deepehadoweon the will ,oht; Gaining rolled rapidly away; aid the time-pie,."in &dean -1 • . eichoi , ,told the hour of ten = - external objects bat in fancy, ea resizning inyeels to the;balmy•ehadowis of [mein:di:tem, when a gen' ES= EMEII MI SATURDAY MORNING, "MAY 14, 1842. ~V4N.P, A L::- : ._:Ap,,,_,,:',,.:-....!),: T 15ER, tie tap at , the outer tloor, awakening the reigning qaietude Within, yet sounding above. the elements witlout, aroused me from rot reverie: . I arose genly from my reclining posture, and to my 43. tothishasent, a woman, habited in weeds of black, stood' before me! An involuntary' ehtnlder crept over me, as her dejected' countenauce,%e r f orm , her 'feature, and above all, the ease and graceful. nese of her movements, revived in my mind indis tinct recollections of former days, and convinced me that the fair sufferer was one wham I had once known. Her head was partially covered by the remains of an old crape hood, beneath pinch her hair hung ni dark and tangled clusters, from whence water continued to drop,. es the frost it had collected in the outer air met the influence of the, fire. • She held by the hand a little buy, a pp. retiOy about three years old, dressed in dilapidated garments, which, like those of the wretched moth er, !gave indications of a once happier state to the uutt , rtitnaie wearer. or a while she stool with her face buried in n soiled white handkerchief; then, giving a pierc ing agonizing sigh, she raised her head and rho codered 4 tear trickling down her pale and emaci ateil cheek, on which was discovered the deep im print of sorrow. She sent forth a long and bewil derCd gaze around the apartment; then, moving with a feeble,. tottering pace towards me, with a trembling voice she begged ea trifle for the widow and the fatherless." The charm was broken---I no llonzer lingered in uncertainty--I knew the voice—it was Adeline's! Yes, it was Adeline that stood before, dressed in the tattered robei of penury, begging a trifle for the unfortunate orphan boy, the son of Edward Macy ! It man Adeline stood before me, a suppliant widow! Alas, how changed. The ruthless hand of illllO and roister tunet had committed their depredations with a pit_ Iles; cruelty. .he recognized me, fell upon my bosom, and wept long and bitterly. la the morning she renewed her lonely wan. derings, and a few days after, soot me a not; ac counting for her misfortunes in the following MEE • You have expressed yotiriclf. the early friend and lassociate . of my deceased husband, Edward MacY. Ad such, you will doubtless listen to his melancholy history. • II cannot but think ho was, at least during the earlMr•period of our intimacy, worthy of your at- tacbruent; although his subsequent life rendered him tin object of miserable degradation. Bring ktud4 generous, liberal and uninfluenced by mean er pdrposes, with a aline polished fly literary pur suits; and views disinterested and honorable in the lest extreme, he acquired the confidence and esteem of a little world formed by his own lofty excellence, whoseiniriates revelled : around him, as if his breast was the home of their sympathies, as if he alone was the oracle they worshipped, and that presided with a magiq influence over their affections. Edward sincerely loved and—he Boated on me ; but my heart bleeds when I tell you that Ad eline was the only object ho wSrshipped—for ho indeed denied the existence of a Deity ! He spoiled at the efforts made by our common Fa ther in behalf of fallen, degenerate man. He wee an apostate from the christiao creed, and teed with en adamantine heart the holy word of inspi ration, emanating from . a,source divine. Oh ! had I been aware of his infidelity to the claistia.i cause, ere I became linked to him in the bands. of wedlock could I have imagined that one, seeming so pure, could have denied the au thority of a God ; how different would have been my present situation! I never should have been his—l should have have spurned him from my presence; for this was indeed to me the haibinger of every woe, to him of—death. Had I have been aware of his infidelity to God, I should not now exist with views humbled to the very dust, beg ging a miserable pittance from the hand of cold, unfeeling man; nor rest subject to the frown, the scorn; and the contumely of those who once ad mired me for my natural beauty. my varied en dooments ; of Those who, but a few years since, bent•to me the humble knee of adoration—l should not now exist an unwilling dweller upon the earth, subject toe most contemptuous blast, that revels round my being. and in hollow mur tours tells me of my despondency, my deplorable and fallen state—l should not now float a melan choly speck on life's wide sea, whose mighty bil k :Vs can bat waft me to the throne of grace.— False to his God, how could he,be true to his Ade line! - This was for a long time his only fault, and Heaven only knows how hard I strove to wean him from his purpose; my efforts were in vain; yet not a sigh, 4seaped me, and I only felt truly happy when in his presence, or within tire hear ing, of his voice. We mutually doated on each other; time Yvtare happily away, and the scene perhaps had never have been interrupted, had not Edward at a dark hour abandoned the paths of . virtue, revelled with guilty associates, and, as if to make destruction sure, raised the intoxicating wine-cup to his and with, its Polluted con tents drank deep the draft of. iniquity ! It was then he left forever the gilded paths throug,h which- he revelled in hia hours, - of ,youth,. and wandered a guilty one, in the deep and gloomy shades of insupportable • despair. Then did he throw off the spotless garb of virtue, and trample it in the very dust, calling upon demons to bless the unholy, sacrifice ! Then did the spirit of sor row and despair stamp upon. his soul a curse; and upon his brow, perdition's dark unalteratial boon ! Then did the sport in the midnight of misery and want, and writhe in the agony of re morse, while despondency broke over him in all it s horrors. - ' •To describe the scene that followed would break the heart, already seared by melancholy re collections- Edward, abandoned by his former friends, fallen far into. the depths of vice, sought not the.society of his once loved and adored, but now abandoned and fonpitten Adeline ;le became an irreclaimable exile from that society, which was once proud to claim him a s its bri g hte s t orna ment ; he revelled in sickaineal and met the con sequence: „, - Rendering : himself destitute of every IP IIII virtue, beccaning a stringer to e ver y ipmerous sytirpathy of our nature be soon 'changed my once happy existence. and made life itself an insup portable Then was the eye, 'once a stranger to - a. tear but ePeellieg with dimmed by Weer" lug; the &mask cheek Hitichedli:sairreis; the form, which was ouce.imgerie., tamed ,trinsulY cans; and the heart, which once beet s higti l , 94th . expretation, brokeri'raiid derailed by cruel alio.. pointinent. . • . .; His profligacy led to our separatien. „; ~=_: I .

Eser —A New svzimorr.—The Rich mond Enquirer states that Mr. Espy has just re turned from Norfolk, which he was requested by the Secretary of-the Nevi , to visit for the purpose of patting into practice o e of his simple yet use ful inventions. It is in nded to clear the ships of the United States front their foul air. The re sult is stated in the following expose u hich we copy from the Enquirer:' Eset's Co NIC•L VENIIILATOTI.—This is a con trivance which effects tie following highly im portant purposes :—lt pre,vents all chimneys from smoking, which smoke only when the wind blows. It draws out all foul air from the hold of ships, when the wind blows, evS.n to the amount of sev eral hundred thousand gallons an hour, when there is a fresh breeze. It ventilates haXpitals, coal mines, and all places subject to foul air,"and keeps them entirely pure.' It increases the draft of locomotives and steamboats, especially with a head wind. , It has lately been put on one of the chimneys of the U. 8. Senate Chamber, and it appears when all the other chimneys puff down smoke awl ashes into th Chamber, as they do sometimes when the win dblows, the one furnish ed with the ventilator Frances a draft upward, stronger as the wind increases in force. When put on the ship f war Pennsylvania, at Norfolk, it drew up balls of cotton from the hold, and passed them through fi canvass bag two feet in diameter and thirty (let long to the deck in five seconds, thus proving that the whole of the' air in the ship would,. With a fine breeze, be changed many times a day.. We ha . ve seen a cer tificate pf the Commodoie of the station, Shu brick, speaking of the "great importance of this discovery to ships of war lin - preserving .the tim bers from decay, and the crews from disease?' Mr. Espy also inventedla means for extracting foul air from ships and mines, and in time of calm ; and it was found that even a stronger cur. rent of air could be made to run up the canvass bag by the power of a single man, than existed in the former case with a breeze, such a current as would carry up silk handkerchiefs, and even hats. We have not seen d!scripti'on of this ma chine, but we understand it will only cost a fear dollars. TO inls Tussal..—The o contract for the erec tion of the circular staircasz for foot passengers, and also the carriage way has been taken, and will be commenced forthwith. The labors of Sir 1: Brunel, as regards the tunnel itself, are com pleted ; the key-brick of thi) last arch on the Mid dlesex side; was inserted lijr the King of Prnisia, on his Majesty's visit lasteek, and the workmen have, for the last month, assed under the rive from Rotherhithe to Wap • g. and vice versa, as i mn well as many visiters, by !pecial orders from the directors and secretary, is thout the least incon venience: but it is short! intended to close' the tunnel for a few weeks, to prevent any interrup tions to the operations of the workmen while for ming the circular staircasLls, and about sacond or third week in April, the Tames Tunnel wiU be finally opened to the public, who will be enabled to pass frOm one aide of the river. to the other. on payment of a small toll, which has not yet been fixed. The shield has besn removed in compart ments, and is now lying en the wharf adjoining the shaft on the Middlesx aide. About 3,000 passengers cross the ferry tiaily, between Wapping and Rotherhithe, in the suliall - boati. and the num ber of piracies who will qeail themselves of the new line of communicatiog wader water, when the tunnel is opened, will prob6bly be trebled. The arches appear to be reioartly dry ; and now be& ends of the tunnel are ope ed; end the workmen arc enabled to enter both audis, the ventilation has been greatly improved, and the comforts of the fishers, who were formerly ; inconvenienced by, the confined atmosphere of the , place, mach incre.ried.

Shall we compare and place in the same scale the free, in tellectual, industnous mechanics and working men of country, with those half paid, half starved, parish-fed people of Europe? tio, sir, my indignation is when I hear it said that the reason why we cannot compete with the old coun tries in manufactures and mechanic arts, is be cause our labor is too high—we must bring down the labor, it is said, to the European standard, and AtmLnsz." thea we shall go on very well.. Btr, I Jo not de sire to compete with foreign labor. I hope never to see the time then labor can be obtained at the price it is now to Great Britain. A fair hand loon weaver obtains but from $1 75 to $ 2 per week. Farmers may be hired for 20 to 25 cents per day, and most kind's of mechanics in propnr- ion; paid, of course, according to their Skill and employ mints. Most articles of subsistence, too, you must remember, are double the price they are with us. Upon tho continent of Europe labor is still lower. ' Can • We, shall We throw open our great country to the production of all the world, and maintain free trade, which is all on one side Nut a country in Europe will take au article from this country, that they are not obliged to receive either fur revenue or their manufactures. Cotton they cannot at present do without, although an ef fort is making, and I fear a successful one by Great Britain, to supply herself with the common qualities from India. Tobacco is taken for reve. nue, with a duty from 3to 800 per cent. Flour, pork. beef, in short, all our great staples, with the exception of cotton, tobacco, and rice, are prohib. ited, and erery article that competes in the slight est degree with their own Libor. And yet they have the assurance in England to write books and pamphlets, and to make speeches, and rend out repine from the British House of Commons upon the sublimated beauties of Free Trade. We have seen their plans from the time of Mr. Huskisson, and have bad an abundance of theories Up to' the last report of Mr. Hume—and it has all ended in promises. Not a step has been taken to-ametio rate the ruat:ictive system of Great Britain—nor do I believe that there is any prospect of a change that will be of the smallest benefit to us. The `Corn Laws, it has been often said, for the la,t fif teen years, would be repealed, Has it been dune! No. Nor will they be repealed, or modified, au as to admit foreign corn, without the price reach es about $2 per bushel with the duty: lam tired of this everlasting speculation upon free trade. It means nothing. It is ideal, a mere phantom, and not.to be entertained by practical men. It is a transcendental, Utopian doctrine, that has no prac tical result. My friends, we have in this country but one course it) pursue, and that is to look to our own country, and to the 'special care of our own labor—let us protect it—and with the pro tection that a paternal government is bound to ex tend to this all.important interest, I have no fears for the prosperity of our glorious republic. I have very much at heart the success of this question, which is soon I think to agitate the, whole nation —and I feel its importance to such an extent, that I sincerely behave that nothing now will save the country from almost fatal bankruptcy but a tariff, embracing the principle of discrimination and'spe - ciffc duties—and unwilling as I always have been to appear in public, lain ready-to spend and be spent in this cause, which I believe to be that of the country's best goad—ind would willingly, if it should (be found necessary ; huckle'on the ar mor, and canvass our good old Bay -State, from the shores of Cape Cod to the hills of D , OtAire. am encouraged, however, in looking to the fu ture, from the far that there are indic.itions, that the people are taking ibis muter_ in their own herr& I was highly gratified to learn a few days ago—after an eclipse of five and twenty yeara--, that a bright spot could be ,seen in New Hamp shire, where on influential gentleman, long in the publics service, who baster late been devoting him self to agriculture, and editing a Mast excellent agricultural paper, has; changed gonad, and has Weil urged that the best way to - encourage agri. culture, is to give its products a home market, by protecting home manufactures.
