Greek. Sti!! vounp;, he has acquired a
very considerable fortune. 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 doe3 not seem on the whole astonish

this should have been ilisj.Hrotis to Captain
Jorpey. Shortly after its commencement,
the Sea Captain's affairs .ot into a maze,

A.r ttrict exactness in his accounts. 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.
You ate perfect ; nnd I will dismiss yon with

Never say boo' to a gnoso when sha has the

ROMANCE A.L MUnDtT.fl AT SEA.
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. Ho it ho is a
Viking lie has been all over the Mudi'.er- j

The mother of the rnifortunnte and goi'lly

Npw Yoik city a short time since, hf exei
ted a great deaf of sympathy in her behalf
among all t lasses. 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

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

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

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? There is 110 manliness, 110 spark of
gratitude, in that child's heart who tines Ui-t
shrink from evil doing for his parent's sake,
though ho may dread nothing on his own ac

A grandson of tho present Cove-rncr 01 Vii

was on a vieit to bis maternal gtandfa'.her,
who is a wealthy land-bolder in Ohio. One
day, after making his first visit lo a sabbath
school, and being duly Impressed wi.h, lha
letigious lessons taught there, he took his
grand-father down on Ihe farm to show nnd
gather Ihe fruit of a large walnut tree, which
was ripe and ready for the harvest On lha
way, the little fellow with philosophy which
''reads sermons in stones," said :
"Grand-pa, who does all those woods and
fields belong to V
"Why," said the mal'er of fact gentleman,
"to me."
Sir," emphatically responded child, "ihcy
belong to God."
The grand-father saiJ nothing ontil (hey

"Well, my boy( whom does this tree be

This was a poser, attJ for a moment lha
