lie.
It was on a warm =Sod sultry afternoon
in ,the tropics, that a clean built rakish look
ing brig, of the Baltimore model, was slow
ly
foaming her way. over the bosom of. the
broad Atlantic on her homeward bound voy
age.
The sun was just abourquenching its fiery
beat beneath the waves of the ocean, throw
ing one last bright glare over the immense
expanse of water.
All was quiet on board the White Cloud,
the bands had knocked off from their work,
every sail was set that could catch a breath
of wind, and the long tapering of the yards
were trimmed with a beautiful precision that
gave'evidence of skill and judgment, in the
man who commanded her, whom we;shall
take by the hand .and introduce 'to the rea
der, by the name of Capt. Ben Bobstay.
Capt.:Bobstay was a very large muscular
man of fifty years of age, and was cool, de
termined, powerful and experienced.
His mate was a young man, a native of
Maine hut who, in . addition to the natural
enterpriSe and go-ahead-ativeness of the
Yankee character, had received the advanta--
ges of illiberal collegiate education, at a time
when his family were in wealthy circum
stances; a position which• they had lost by
the fraud and machinations of those who
professed the most disinterested 'friendship
for them. At the age of twenty-one Robert
Renshaw found hinitelf penniless, the only
support of 'his widowed, affectionate and al
most heart-broken mother.

-IUP"
Disgusted at the duplicity and faithlessness
of his former companions, the proud and
sensitive youth, nova proud because of his
poverty - beeame almost a misanthrope ; he
visited nowhere, shunned society, and felt
alone in the world. In this mood of mind,
he suddenly formed the intention of "follow
ing the sea' , as it is called, and. shipped on
board of a vessel bound for the East Indies.
At the time that our story opens, Robert
Renshaw was twenty-six years of age ; he
had travelled much, and had stored his mind
with a variety of practical and useful know
ledge, which be every day found of immense
utility to him. By a judicious disposition'of
various adventures which he had made from
time to time on his voyages, he had acquired,
sufficient property to place his beloved par
ent in comfortable circumstance beyond the
reach of want.
As we before stated, the sun was just set
ting,-brightening the horizon with its last
rays, when all hands . on board the brig we
have just visited, were - roused by the cry of
sail ho ! from the mast head.'
" Where away ?" said the captain.
" Four points to the weather bow, sir,"
replied the man.
" I can't see clearly sir ; but should judge
she was a large two topsail schooner, very
'rakish and with a great spread of canvass. "
" Mr. Renshaw ! take this glass, jump up
in the rigging, and see what you can make
of , her sir !" •
" Aye, aye, sir!" and away . went the
mate up the rigging to the main-top-mast
cross trees. After a long and steady look he
confirmed the report of the " look-out," and
gave it as his opinion that she wasan armed
craft.
" She must bayous-sir," said the mate,
" for she has turned her course and is stand
ing for us."
Very well !" replied the Captain, "with
no more wind than there is now, he could
not come to us before 12 o'clock ; there is no
moon to-eight ; and I do not think that it
will breeze up any ; so we have plenty of
time to prepare, if it should prove to be our
enemy."
" Yes sir, said Renshaw ; but she may
have sweeps !"
" True ! I did not think of that ; but then
these Mexican Mezicans would be too lazy to use
them if) she has, uuless it is to tun away
with."
Night fell, and a thick mackerel sky grad
ually overspread the whole heavens, shut
ting out every star and betokening a lively
breeze for the next day : ,
".I have a proposition to make if you
please, sir," said Rehshaw, addressing the
Captain,
" Out with it, sir."
"It is this :—we have no craft of that
build in our navy, neither have the English
or French ; she must then be a Mexican or ,
a pirate; in . either case she is well worth
taking: the night is dark ; let me take the
boat and eight men well armed ; you will
have the second grate, cook, steward and
two men on board the brig. I will board
the schooner in the dark, they will not sus
pect such a thing, and I hope to carry her by
surprise,"
Captain Bobstay pondered a few moments,
and finally replied :.4‘ Well, this brig and
cargo are mine; I am responsible to no
one. Go ahead."
In a few minutes Renshaw followed by

According to a preconcerted arrangement,
the bowman put his boat hook to the gunnel
of the Mexican boat hanging to the other dat

er, while Renshaw's men carefully and st-,
lently deposited their oars on the thwarts o
of their boat. Luckily the schooner like
most others of her clash; had no cabin ;win
dows in the stern. ReashaWhimselfquietly
climbed up the staff of the boat-hook the
man was holding into the small boat above
him, taking the painter of his own in his
teeth. He arrived safely without creating
alarm, being sheltered 'from observation by
the taffinil and round-house - of the schooner,
made fast the end of his painter, and in a
few moments was joined by his men. He
then raised his head above <the taffrail and
saw the than at ;the wheel awl two officers
leaning over the weather-side of the quarter
rail. Silently he advaniied'followed by his
men, one of whom stunned the helmsman
by a blow delivered in true nautical Style,
under his ear: In a minute more, the. two
officers found themselves at the bottom of
the cabin_ stairs, having . performed, sundry
evolutitiiii - and convolutions in arriving at
this terminus; half stunned, bruised, and in
no way able.to account for the manner of
their getting'.there. The first impulse was
to rush on 'deck ; but their progress was
suddenly stopped by' the companion hatch
which was hauled over and barred_doWn.
In the meantime, our hero,,ak-the head of
his 'daring little crew pushed bOldly - .fiirward

their surprise, add Would dOubtless have
succeeded in carrying the schooner by this
coup de mein, as bold as it was well conceiv

schooner was, boarded.
Hastily summoning his crew which was
now dithinished to some twenty-five men,
since ten of them had been thrown overboard
by the impetuous Americans, and five offi

of egress; he made a lurious charge and the
intrepid little band, now presented a small
but solid front to their assailants: ,
The Yankees fought like tigersonaking
sad havoc with their enemies, whom nothing
but their immense numerical superiority and
the courage of their leader kept to their work.
But overborne with numbers they gradually
gave ground.
The Mexican officer with some of his men
had dragged one of the bow chasers from its
pcirt loading it with grape and cannister, and
was about pointing it on our little band of
heroes, when with a yell,that,made all ring,
a gigantic form was seen coming over the
bows followed by several others.
With one sweep of his herculean arm the
head of the cannoneer, who was about to
apply the match, rolled on the deck. another

while the men who followed him, attacked
like furies in the tear of the astonished 'and

hatches were hauled over them and secured.
In half an hour more Captain Bobstay who

A SCAFFOLD SCENE.
Joseph Moncharmont, who was convicted
of a double murder during the April term of
the Assizes Boucles de Rhone, France, was
on the llth May beheaded in the great mar
ket-place, of Chalons. The Gazette des Tri
bunaus gives the following account of Mon
charmont's last hours :
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the chaplain
of the. prison entered the convict's cell and
informed him that his appeal to the Supreme
Court had been rejected ; he must therefore
prepare to die within a few hours: Mont-
charmont, who, to say the least, had enter
tained the most sanguine hope of mercy being
shown to him, seemed stupefied by the dread
ful news, but he soon rallied, and, uttering
dreadful cries and
. impreeations, swore that
he would not submit to being dragged to the
scaffold. The jailors tried to overcome his
fear of death by allowing hint a larger quan
tity of Wine, but he refused to take it, and
when the executioners arrived, he had barri
caded his door, and refused to surrender.—
Coercivelmeasures were then adopted, and
the convict was at last.secured ; he cried and
wept while they were pinioning himi, and
sometimes he would break out in such un
controllable fury, that although bound, his
guards stood away from him. He was car
ried to the wagon, and -slowly conveyed, to
the scaffold. - After being lifted from the cart,
the guards attempted to make him mount the
few steps leading to the scaffold, and for this
purpose loosened the ropes which confined
his legs. This had scarcelylvertaccomplished
when Montcharmont turned upon them, - and
with the strength of despair tried to force his
way through their midst. Shouting the name
of his father and mother, and calling upon
the surrounding crowd to assist him, he'
threw himself headlong into the midst of the
guards after having, by a sudden jerk of his
powerful shotildersOreed himself of the last
remaining bonds. He etas repulsed, and
obliged to fly to the top of the scaffold, which,
from its: height, seemed to afford him better
protection against the guards and execution- I
,ers. Mazoyer, a. venerable priest, was
the only person on the scaffold beside Mont
charmont. He had been summoned there to
cheer the convict's last moments with the
comforts of religion. To him the wretched,
culprit turned and after fervently kissing the
crucifix, asked for and obtained the old meet
blessing. The struggle then commend
once more: the cries of Montcharmont
rescue by the surrounding crowd, became'
rqore and more frantic, but not a finger moved
in his behalf, not a single-voice was raised
for him. The struggle on the scaffold lasted
for nearly one hour,, at the.end of which the
convict still held, possession of his stand,
whence he was not to be driven without the
application of firearms which the command
er refused to do. - Stones were hurled in large
numbers and the convict seemed feckless of
his life for he heedekthem not, andbled from
many a wound thus received. °gem twice
he himself called upon the soldiers to shoot
him, ifoir.he did not fear death, but would not
meet , ii through the guillotine. When there
seemed at last to be no prosrieet of making
hirti submit to his fate,- the executioners were
very glad to capitulate with him, promising
that they'would take hiM back to the prison,

vict and-in another nioment he was tightly ;
bound. His excitement, however, being,
great, he was allowed to lay in the prisons
yard until six o'clock in the afternoon, when'
the mournful train once more set out for the
market place. The executioners, this time'
being -fully prepared for their, task, carried
the culprit up;the steps of the scaffold, and
in another instant the dull sound of the fall

vindicated.

him, and itris the more extraordinary, that a
man Who never had• the least pity or emotion
at the sufferings and death agonies of his vic.;
rims should have so great a dread of the guil
lotine. his fear, it is said, originated from
a dream, which he had when yet a boy, and
since then the dreadful image of a scaffold
has remained uppermost in his thoughts.—
When spoken to and consoled by others, he
would say "but this dreadful knife and the
• bloodstained plank, which rconstantly see,"
thereby alluding to the guillotine, and during
his captivity he often awoke from the dreams
he had on the same subject, and called loudly
for help to rescue hint from the hands of the
executioner.
We have 'already stated that the Russian
Government has decided that the thousandth
anniversary of the Russian Empire shall be
celebrated next year with the greatest pomp
in all the cities and large towns of Russia.—
The foundation of that empire• was laid by
Ruric and his, followers, from Scandinavia.
Previously, the whole of that region was
traversed by tribes of barbarians, called by
the Romans,- Sarmatians. Ruric was of
Nornaan stock, and from him and his adhe
rents have descended in great part, the .pie
sent nobility of Russia. The serfs are the
old Sarmatians, though the intermingling of
the two races, on the same soil, and breath
ing the same atmosphere, has effaced, we
suppose, till traces of their different origins.
The names Russ and Russians, were derived
from the Nor Mans. It is most remarkable
that both the English and Russian nobility,
boast of the same origin—the Normans, it is
well known, having settled in France, and
afterwards, under William the Conqueror,
having taken possession of England. These
two race , , the English and the Russian, with
their copious infusion of Norman blood, are
now doubtless exercising the greatest and
most widely extended influence upon the
world. The English language is spoken by
about 55,000,000 of people, the Russian by
about 47,000,000. The late Mr. Wheaton,
1 1 for Many years a minister of our country to
the North of Europe, wrote a roost excellent
volume on the Northmen. It should occupy
a much larger space than it does in the read
ing of theftlay.--iVercark Adv.
WRITING OP GREAT PERSONS
Queen Elilabeth—ln youth the Queen's
handwriting was clear and regular almost as
engraving. When age had tamed the old
girl, her letters were spiteful—the lines ir
regular—an ugly old maid's version of her
former hand—and the signature was a thing
to make one, bless one's self.
Martin 4uthur -His writing was firm and
legible, tlli ugh not very equal_uor very
straight. Martin had strollg passions, as
well as stron# reasons for what he did.
Sir Thomas Moore—By no means display
ing the calm firtnness'he possessed—the lines
crooked and tumbling down hill.
Rubens—Manly, bold, and with a care
less ease and clearness, denoting mastery of
hand.
Lord Baeon—Very like an elegant modern
short hand. ; Clear, neat and regular. The
signature involved with broken lines, as if a
Hy - had struggled and died in a spider's web.
yoltaire . --Very clear, regular, steady and
straight; evidently not written rapidly, but
with a.continuous ease, which might go ou
writing book after book in just the same way.
Oliver Cromwell—Large, bold, legible,
steady, sharp, and straight. The signatitre
made of halberts anti pointed palisades.
Prince De Cunde—Not at all in accordance
with the strong expression arid Wahl-fea
tures orhis face.
Charlotte Corday—Firm, clear, steady, hu
not without etnotiou.
Cuvier—Very like the writing of Charlotte
Corday, but not so strong and compact.
banton—Wilful, daring, without method
or ears.
George the Fourth—Not at all the very
gentlemanly hand most people would_ expect
—rather like a housemaid's. •
Pope—Very bad, small, full of indecisitin
a very hedge-row of corrections.
Cardinal Wulsey—A good hand, disturbed
only hy 'nervous energy and self-will.
Porson—Correct and steady ; the reverse
of his personal appearance and habits.
Sliakspeare-4 very bad hand indeed, cOn
fused, crowded; crooked in the lines, and
scarcely, legible. • '
Napofeon—Still more illegible. No let

]MANUFACTURE OF STEEL PENS}
The following interesting particulars are
from the London Builder:
Steel pens are almost entirely manufac
tured' by women and young girls ; and it is
probable that out of 2000 persons or upwards
now engaged in the business, not above 100
or 150 are of the male sex. The manufac
ture of. pen-holders and pen-boxes, gives
employment to an additional number of wo
men and children, variously estimated frotn
200 - to 400 persons. • About the year lEpo
or 1821, the first gross of three-slit pens
were sold, wholesale, at the rate of £7 4s.
the gross. In 1830, they had fallen to Bs. ;
and in 1832 to 6s. the gross. One factory
alone in Birmingham, produces them at the
rate of no less than 40,000 gross, or 6,700,-
000 in , a week—very nearly a million, or
960,000 per working-day, or 279,528,000
per annum. At the lowest calculation, Bir
mingham produces 1000 millions per an
num. The cheapest pens are sold as low as
2d. per gross, wholesale ; and the price rises
with the elasticity and finish of the pens'up
to 3s. 6d. and ss. per gross.
Birmingham produces them all, and one
establishment has the distinctive mark of 500
different dealers in all parts of the country,
as well as on the continent of Europe and
America, for whom he manufactures accord
ing to ordar.
rt The sheets of steel reeeived from Sheffield,
are reduced to the required tensity by suc
cessive transits through the rolling mill op
erations, tended by men snd boys. Then re
duced to the thinness of 'a steel pen, length •
about two feet, breadth two and a half to
three inches, the sheets are ready for punch
in . out the blanks. This' rocess is perform
ed with very great rapidity—one girl of aver
age .industry and dexterity being able to
punch out about 100 gross a day. ° -
The next operation is to place the blpks
in a concave die, on which a slight touch
.from a convex piece produces the required
shape, that of the semi-tube. The slits and
uppertures to increase the elasticity, and the
maker's or vender's name or mark areipro
(laced by a similar tool. Previously, how
ever, the pen undergoes a variety of other
processes. When complete all but the slit,
I it is soft and pliable, and may be bent or
twisted in the hands like a piece of thin lead.
Being collected in: grosses, or great grosses,
the_pens are thiown intadittle square boies
by men, and placed in a lurnace,,wbere they
remain till box and Pens are of a white heat.
They are then taken out and thrown h4sing
hot into pails or tanks of Oil, when they) may
be broken like so many wafers after draining;
„they are then made to revolve rapidly, in a

_ ._ is told by the New '- Vork Mirror :
Alter this lading remnant of a mighty race,
the most affecting scene was at the Lunatic
Asylum at Utica. On enterinc , the Chapel,
where some two hundred of these b unfortu
nates were quietly seated, the overseer in
troduced the President of the United States,
when all rose, respectfully bowed, and re
sumed their seats. Each member of she..
party was then introduced by name, whey '
the same ceremony was profoundly repeated.';
Dr. Maltby, a wise Lunatic, then arose and-.
welcomed the President in a strain of grace.' '
ful and touching eloquence that; drew tears
to every eye. He is a tall, thin, pale man,
with penetrating eyes, a tine voice, and ges
tures belonging to the polite oratory of "gen
tlemen of the old school." The Presidenea •
reply was nisi:, very happy and affecting:. So
orderly and well behaved a company surely
has not greeted him in all his travels. In
one of the temale Wards the whole party
was individually introduced to an elegantly
dressed and most accomplished lady, the
daughter of one of the most distinguished
lawyers New York has ever produced. She
had the right word ready , for every , one who •
addresSed her, end presented the President
with-it sweet little boquet of her own ar
ranging, in the most tasteful and graceful
manner. - We saw the same "act of presen- •
tation" performed a hundred times, but in no
instance with such exquisite simplicity and
grace as marked the offering of this accom
plished lady. She is about forty , years of
age ; abd in mentioning the names of some
of the distinguished men she had entertained
at her father's house added—"but for the
last seven years I have been—very much-out
of the world."
There was a young girl,in the Asylum who
also attracted much attention by her beauty
of person and 'elegance of dress. - She did not
appear to be over seventeen years of age, and
there was not the slightest indication of lu
nacy, or even of "irregularity," about her.
She stood in the door of her room, which
was adorned with flowers, gracefully ac-;
knowledging the bows of the visitors, though
no one presumed to speak to her. She wore
a beautiful wreath of peach and cherry blos
sums in her dark hair—the only ornaments •'
appropriate to her rare and touching beauty.
Thinking of theffair Ophelia" and the heart
broken "Bride of Lammermoor," andall the
delicate feminine hamstrings that were ever '
broken by soriow or sin,we left the beautiful:
Lunatic, and for hours afterwards, every.:
sound seemed a moan, every breeze a sigh t , l
and even the "drops of the morning" which
glistened in the flowers looked more like
tears of sadness than gems of joy.
ECCENTRICITIES OP TUE STARS.
At a meeting of the Berlin Academy of
Sciences held on May 31 last, the venerable
Alexander von Humboltanade an interesting
communication upon some observations of
singular movements of fixed stars. It seems
that at Triest, January 17. ISSI, between
7 and 8 o'clock P.M., before the rising of
the moon, when - the star Sirius was not far
from the horizon, it was scen'to perform a
remarkable series of eccentric movements.—
It rose and sank, moved left and right, and
sometimes seemed to move in,a curved line:
The observers were Mr. Keane, a student'
in the upper class of the gymnasium, and Mr.
Thugutt,a saddler,both certified to be reliable
persons. a The family of the latter also beheld
the phenomena. Mr. Keune, with his head
leaned immovably against a wall,'saw Sirius,
rise in a sight line above the roof of a rie!gh;
borint,; — litruse, and again sink out of sight '
behind it, and then again appear. • : .
Its motions were so considerable that- for_
some time the beholders thought it WAS a
lantern suspended by a kite., it also varied'
in brilliancy, growing alternately brighter
and fainter, and now and then being fbr mo
meats qt itr invisible, though the sky was
perfectly clear, pAs far as it is known- this
phenomenon has been remarked but twice be
fore, once in 1799, from the Peak of Teneriff,
by Von Humboldt hirriself, and again nearly
fifty years later, by a well informed'and tare.:
ful observer, Prince Adalbert of Prussia.
CD — THERE is a perennial nobleness. and
even sacredness, in work. Were he ever so
benighted, forgetful at his 'high ealling,theite ,
is always hope in a man that actually and
earnestly works; in idleness alone is there'
perpetual despair. Doubt, desire.• sorrow,
remorse, indignation, despair itself-- r all these:
like hell-dogs, lie beleaguering the soul of.
the poor day-worker as of every . -man ; but
he bends himself with free valor against his
task, and all these are stillech—all these shrink
murmuring far off into their caves.

rough knowledge of oneself leads directly to
the knowledge of mankind at large; forin
ward examination is the parent of outward "
