His olive trees produced no fruit, his house and gentle! So true and stanch, that tho t was burnt down ; and, though every thing graspof his honest, hard-working hand does ' was destroyed in the fire, he has since seen a man good. It makes one better to see some thingsabout the premises of his patron him among weaklings and little children : ' so like his own as to bj quite surprising, he seems so conscious ot his tincoutfl Put this does not thnke his simple good strength, and appears afraid of breaking : faith, and he seems to nie si respectable (hem.

It makes tilde of Ihe widow and orphan, who (hank one quite tincotr.fjrta'Je to hear him talk him wilh moistened eyes for many benefits, ! a)0ul tiem with such complacency, and and put him tothe hlu.h wilh their praises; . bra;; of their proJuce.

Kyrios Culan in Ins nmiseami protects, insults and inaars him useful. Put Captain Jorgey does not seem conscious ol tins, anil it is very touch ing to sew his loyal gratitude and affection lor one who has wrought him many cruel injuries. Ilx thinks he cat) never do euouoli to show hi thankfulness for (he rude bed and acan'y hoard which is doled out to him.

In reality su perficial, fmpty, and ignorant ; acquainted wilh no one art or science, and hardly able to read and write correctly, he has yet a natural acuteness that would puzzle the wisest. He is indeed one of the most suc cessful sharpers in the corn market ; nnd (hat is raying a great deal. He has the most pleasant, frank, plausible manner pos sible ; yet he only speaks truth by accident. lie seems to divine other men's thoughts and intentions by asort of inttinct ; and no one ever comes in contact wilh him with out somehow or other petting the wrons; end of an argument or a bargain. He will commit the most impudent robberies with a cool air of assurance that is positively astonnrtitis. He is hard, unjust, oppressive, cunnins, false, tricky, selfish ; all with the air of an injured man. He has his temper under the most extraordinary command, and would never by any chance let slip on expression of a disagreeable nalure toward any body, from whom he mtjht ever by any possibility have the chance ol gaining sixpence. To dependents ho is of course as heartless a tyrant bs ever insulted woith or imbiltered misfortune. No man has ever shown him to appear in the wrong. His labors ore only known by their fruits. Somehow or other every body who makes his acquaintance and frits mixed up with him in business, prrows poorer, and yet you can rot onvict him of dishonesty. The fact is there ; the reason is a mvsterv. 1 1 i 3 very victims are constrained to speak well of him, for they can prove no etil. His acquaintances serm all under obligations to him. Persons furmerly lhrivin2 and well to do in the world, pas beneath his yoke into difficulties in a manner that is almost magical. When they fail and sink into utter ruin, fie has always contrived to get paid. He has forseen what was ?oin to happen, and has disposed of their accep tances sold them perhaps lo some friend who desired a safe investment, nnd who had a.-ked his advice. In short, lie is out of the scrape, let who will be in it. To be siire there are one or two peonle who look shyly at him. It is possible to he sharper than some men, but not to he shar per than every man. Strange whispers sn about respect inir him; his mother is said to have died in extreme poverty, and one .... .

It is natural that dependt n's sho'ild show some substantial marks of pira'.itude to their protectors, if they have any. It doe3 not seem on the whole astonish ing that the frienii.-hip of such a ;ei.ius as this should have been ilisj.Hrotis to Captain Jorpey. Shortly after its commencement, the Sea Captain's affairs .ot into a maze, and they nevergot out ol it. He had then an olive garden, and a little vessel of his own, with which he went p.bot:t to the however only receives Ihem with a grunl of distiiprobatioii ( I it not worth his while la flutter Cupuai Joigey now,) and an ungraceful oterVulU n about (he expense of f-ardeuiii ; so (hat the modest sailor really fet-l quilo piuxled lhal the property which was once a lilt I fotlime lo him, should te such a burthen to hit patron, lie feels t)'iite.di.iracrd by it, an I it a.hsmed that he should tut aPoisfd his (eneroiit f i lend to accept it for such a larjfe debt thai which waidue t hi n ; at lb dale of Hi Iransaclion I'aplsiu J rgey knew il wa a lro debt, Itiotltl he did liul fpiila kiiow how inuih, fof lhre had nevt-r breo art account bilsvren Ihem, a'-4 ii ws Hot a jjimd hand al figur- il llu re h 1 been one. 1h (.ill is, llul when ("apt mi Jor jey' till irer wouia ftr.Ull4lly pet.i.l III br,-ilj bo hull in h ll.oat voable te. ton ; wlnu hi kim- fn.i J all gt. rii ltoi liiry Ii4 I ioti , auJ vht'U In did not app.tru itrow al ill, when , rlurue ttumal and I'Miud hll koiiaal buiiit down, and rum isiuxj bun in Ike face j fciio (ln j.ioi.,l i Iiiin a vry ut. bU ti bant hl ldrli.M hi f .iluiitt.

Cap tain Jorgry, indeed, ventured to make an observation to this ell'ect at the time: but his kind friend only smiled in a peculiar way he had, and told Captain Jorgey that he ditl not understand those kind of affairs w hich, indeed, Has true. So the honest sailor left everything lo his friend, and commenced another voyage. Not, how ever, till he had given a mortage on his property for a considerable sum of money, which had been placed out at such famous interest in his name, and which had been lent by Kyrios Ozlan wilh the most disin terested generosity. But fresh troubles awaited him. He seemed born to ill-luck. When he returned the trader had left the country, and had taken Captain Jorgey's money wilh him. The stout seaman, how ever, was not half so much distressed at this, ns at the loss sustained hy his kind Iriend, nller all his ellorts on his behalf which vere detailed lo him with such scrupulous minuteness. There was of course but one thing to do to give up the olive garden ; and although it had, by that time, begun to bear all sorts of produce, in a very reinaika'ole manner, considering its former sterility, yet the Captain was quite surprised that his patron should accept it lor such a considerable debt, lo be sure he held Captam Jorgey'B bond for the bal ance, but what was the use of tiiat ? he could nit him in prison at any time; but he was lar too go id lo do it, which was another reason for gratitude, and another reason so ihoughl the honest sailor why he should try, by every means in his power, lo repay the immense debt ol gen erosity and forbearance which he owed his benefactor. 1 am almost sure that Captain Jorgey would have thought it nothing but his duty to die, or go into slavery uncom plaining, for that most cold and heartless scoiiiinr. 1. It is a touching and cruel thing lo see them together, Lttd to see the humble re spect and gratitude of the brave sailor, in 1 Ins worn cmthes so carefully brushed ; the perspiration pouring down his furrowed cheeks from unrc munerated toil ; his anx ious clance to catch the rye of his patron, as tii:;t estimable creature sits in slate, in his gold chain, upon an easy chair in his country house. It moves one's very heart to see the sailor, so willing and parnest, so untiring and contented, under a rod of iron. O Captain Jorgey, good, honest, noble- liearled sailor! Liitle dost thou dream how infinitely boiler and greater thou nrt, in Iho eves of Him who sees all thing", than the bediat-ned rogue v. ho has lobbed thee. Little dil thou think how the hands of many honest nun would he stretched out to giasn those shy, awkward fisls of yours, who wntiid not deign to touch the white ami I 'Weli il finxer ol that amazing scainn lor an r&rldMi. Little does thy modest lancy picture what bright kind eyes of no ble women would smile on ycu, which would turn with infinite disgust from him. Thine is a true story, Captain Jorgey. L' t it ingraft in cur hearts, a deeper con tempt for ill-gotten riches, and a profotimier respect for faith and honesty, I do not envy the man who, if he had lo choote, would not immeasurably rather be the dupe than the iluper. Strait is the gale and narrow is the way by which thou traveiest, gentle Captain; but it will conduct thee to thy high reward ! The followi.;-' is the advice of an examin ing jutUe to ti young lawyer on admission : ''Sir, it would be idle lo trouble you furlher.

A poor fellow is novy on his way to Cli fornia to have his trial for murdering a yoaug woman on the Yankee Blade, between New ioik and xlio, A letter to the Panama Star gives names and particulars : The prisoner, whose namo is Edwatd H. Avery, is now on board the steamer, is a young man of about twenty-six years of age, born in Springfield, Mass., of respectable patetitage. himself being a person of consid erable intelligence and rather agreeable in hi mannets. The deceased female, n hose namo was Susanna llusscl, was rather a good looking young woman, with bright eyes; the wa about twenty years of age. They be came acquainted in a house of ill fame in Worcester, Mass., wheiethey both resided at Ihe lime. Avery, becoming much attach ed to her, proposed taking her lo California) and for that purpose ho brought her down to New Yoik city, where they lived together as man nnd wife, until he engnsred passage for her ou board lha Yankee Blade, he agree ing to work his own passage. Ha represent ed her as his sieter on board. The Captain, whoso goodness of heart throughout this whole sad affair has been most noble and hu mane, in order to protect her from insult in the steerage, for which her passngo had been taken, gave her a berth in a stale-room, in the second cabin, w ilh another woman. This removed her considerably from the pre sence of her lover, who worked on the foiward deck; and she, taking advantage of her po sition, began to flirt wilh lha young men on board, which when the knowledge thereof came lo the ears of Avery, rendered him ex ceedingly jealous. ' On tho 13th of February, at about, & oclock in the evening, the passengers were alarmed by 6hricks from a female voice which proved to be Susanna Russel, who ran about tho after deck, crying 'my brother has killed me!' and falling upon the deck, in five minutes she was a corpse. She had been but a few mtnutos previous to that, sit' ling in Ihe cabin, engaged in a lively conversa tion wilh one of Ihe passengers, when Avery called her on deck. On approaching her he drew from a bell in his side a large leu inch bawie knife, with which ho slabbed her lu the right breast, severing the light ephemeral artery, the knife pnsrdng though her back. Immediately afler committing this dreadful deed, he snapped a pistol twice at his own breast, but finding il wou'd not go off, he drew a razor from his pocket, wilh which he cut a sevete gash in his throat, then rushing foiward to whijie she had fallen, and where the passengers and others began to collect he cried, 'stand back, gentlemen, I did it ;' then falling beside the dead body, he bent over it and kissed the matble cheeks, say ing': 'I loved that piil, but you cabin pasen gers did this.' This was Ihe most heait reiide.riug scene the writer ever witnessed. Tiieie laid iho poor mangled body of the tuifoi lunate though guilty lover, uttering the most lamentable expressions of his fervent attachment lo her, while the blood came streaming from his throat. Every otio ex pected to seo him momentarily expire. He did not i!ieL however, ns the surgeon succeed ed in sewing up his wound, and ha is now nearly recovered. He had a preliminary examination before ihe American Consul at Ilio da Janerio, who ordered him on to San Francisco for trial. OLD AGE. Theodore Parker, the scholar nnd gentlo man, beautifully alludes to the attachments of old ago to the past. The parable is wor thy of the writer, who at all times show proof of an observing, reflecting mind : An old Poem of the Ndrth tells of a bravo boy, who in his earlier days found his moth er's cottage too narrow, mourned at lending the goats on the muuutain siJe. and felt his heart swell in him, like a brook from melting of the snow, when he saw a ship shoot like an anow into the bay. lid tan from his mother and the goats. The Viking took him on board. The wind swelled iho sails. II saw the hill top sink in the blue deep, and was liutt-Ukly glad. He look his f ilhei' ! swoid in hand and sworu lo conquer him j hou.es and land by Iho sen.

The onhnppy worr.au at tended her son throngfi ihe itinl, sitting by his side in the court room, and exerting her self to ihe utmost to effect his acquitul. Foiling in Ihis, no sooner had the sentence been passed, than she hastened lo Washing ton to plead with the President for t:'S t don, and nrged her suit wilh a depth of feel ing mid a peisevering impottunily which it must have caused ihe Chief Magiil;t.(e mftt y a pang to refuse. Finding that there was no hope of delivery for her boy, she retraced her weary sleps to bis prison, lo minister such consolation a? tho might offer lo Ihe doomed one; her heart meanwhile breaking, nnd her voice choking w ith bitter grrefj even w hile she tiied to suggi-fl comfort and hope lo him. The revelling before the execution, she look her final leave of him on earth, und am rendered lo the grim unfeeling clutch of justice and its minions. What a night must that have been tothe poor mother! how like the knell of death fell every stroke of the clock upon her ear how every tick cf the wu'ch seem ed to measure the advance of his knit la fato ! , The morning came, but scattering no beam of light upon her bosom. Remorsely marched the houts which she knew wero lo crush out the young life she had nourished and loved so well. Nonn came, and she waa led into a room of the prison. There was a colHn, nntt in it there wss a tenant. She ap proached it, and in an agony ef grief fell upon the body, nnd kissed the unconscious lips ex claiming, "0 my boy, my boy V When we contemplate ibis sad hisloiy fro 11 beginning to end, we are impressed with ibis thought. It is ihe mother, not iho son, who is Ihe chief sufferer. What are the pains of the gibbeted Criniinnl, compared with Ihe agonies of the poor mother, whoso life was bound up wilh bis; uhuse hopes nil centered in him, and whose fondest, most cbeiished dream had been that he would be ihe pride and stay of her declining years. . Young men and boys, look at this picluie, anil think. You may, possibly, be recklesa enough to disregard ihe cosequenccs w hich a career of sin and folly may enlail upon your selves; but will you draw down Ufoa a pa rent's heart the crushing weight of anguish' which your ignomy ar.d punishtnf tit must, cause?
