I was tpendinp soitii dnys. not many years ago, in a beautiful little country village, and iu a family that bad moie than common at traction!) to one who loves domestic life as much a9 myself. The little coltuge in which 1 wua stayiNg contained but few inmute?, but the little circle hud in it the element3 of more interest thuu I havo often sueti developed iu the same number of person3. I he father or tbo tauiiiy almost tooyntinir to feel that he was indeed entitled to Unit honorable appellation was a fini, frunk hAtted iiicciiuuit., wii'u a world uf U'luuding life in his vein9, an energy that, when fully aroused drove everything violently heTore him. and a warmth of disposition that, won him more friendship tban it hud then nr bas since given him uf the goods of this world. His wih to v,hom bu bud been married some four yenrs nug singularly beautiful. TIihy bud two children tbe one a lunching brown-eyed and brown-haired little fniry of three years. Her name was Kvelten. Tho socoud was a crowing laughing, blue-eyed plump littla beauty, of less limn a tar. prom ising to have all the churniB of the other ut her age. And bcr name wus Lilian. 1 whs sitting one ulleriioon iu the quiet litthi room, with my feet upon two chairs, reading a plcapuiit book, in a state betneeu asleep und arake my host away at his shop, a few hundred yards otf, und my pretty hostess engaged in her household lubora when I was thrown out of my indolence by a scream that brought tr.n to my leet l.ke nn electric shuck. It was a wnmrtu'e voice, und had in it an ex cess of agony that cannot be indicated in words,-so loud thut it rung over I but quiet little village like a trumpet, nml brccght every ono forth to ascertain the cause. 1 sprang to tbe door that separated the sitting room from tbe dining apartment, and saw the whole at a glance. Tim youlig mother stood at the door with her Cm-born our darling Kveleen in her arms, dying ! A few brief und hurried words from tbe ser vunt told me tbe sad story. The little girl had acconipunied a child-uncle up stairs, while the mother was busy bel w. aud while the attention of tbe older child was one mo ment turned uwuy, sho seized a bottle of cor rosive sublimate, io hIcoIioI, and ilrauk emrigh to take twenty such lives. The little thing had tottered down the stairs, and tho mother nut her at the landing with Ihu emp tied buttle id her hand, and the poison oozing from ber mouth, the child all uncor-scinus yet of the fearful thing she hnd done. Wus it any woudur that that terrible rhriek rung out over tbe quiet village, and that already the occupants or every house near were rushing toward tho spot where the mother stood ? Hut a few moments could have possibly elapsed since the poison was taken, and yet Ilia tiled was already learlul. Alter inn tirst shriek of horror, tbe mother hud quieted to a calm despaii lor the moment, and stood with the child 111 her arms, making no triuit for its relief, and indeed it seemed hopeless. for already the subtle poison seemed diUuctl throughout the frame ; the brown eyes had lost their lustre, the face was blackened as if after death, and the teeth were tight-set in convulsive spasm that evidently would not pass away. 1 examined the little lot durlitig for a moment, kuw that it was hopeless, uu.l tarned away, uaatilu to bear thut mother s agony. Tbo little door-yard was already half full of tho villagers, and sobs, moans, and lamentations over the fate of tbe dyiiif. child were heard iu every direction, mingled with quick and hurried questions as to the manner ol us occurrence, and vain attempts at an swering, which added an oppressing coulusiun to tbe sadness of tbe scene The little pi uy fellow uncle, who had been up stairs with the child, had ruu instantly to cull the father, aud but a few moments had elapsed, before he sprang into the middle of the group. Ho had been told all, aud aked do questions. I had time to mark that his eye was very stern, and thut bis lips were very firmly compressed. Others, too, cai ked it; uod 1 knew afterward that a murmur ruu around tho circle, of bow strange it was that be bstruyed 00 fueling 1 lie reached out his hands snd took the child from its mother.. Its eyes were closed now, aod now a white ooze coming from be. tweun tbe blackening lips. Whs ever death mora assured 1 saw bun open ihe eyolids, and heard him give a sigh of relief, lie told me afterward that tbe eye was not shrunken, an ) so death bad not begun. Then ho at tempted to open the mouth, bol the teeth were tight set, and they resisted his efl'orta. liut with a force that seemed almost brutal, bo aetaallr wreooheii the teeth apart, aud' j f etfvd th rowtb. "Shame I" cried ono of ths bystanders. v- The father did not heed them, but motioned to a neighbor to take the child in his arms. He did so, "Bring rile the epg basket," ho spoke very sternly, almost without opening his teeth, to tbe servant. "What do yon want of it?" "What can yon do with it?" -He is crafy 1" and many such remarks followed, but tbe basket was there io a nioment, He seized one of the eggs, broke it, inserted his fingers again between the teeth, wrenched Ibem apart by force, though they shut with so convulsive a motion as to tear the flesh from bis fingers and poored the albumen in ihe throat. There was a slight stiungle, bnt nothing more, and the spectators were horri fied at the action, "Don't, the child is dying 1" said one. "1'lease don't hurt the poor littlo thing it can't live I" the mother found voice to say, laying her hand upon his arm. "Mary, be still," be answered sternly, while is teeth never relaxed from their clenching, ad1 bis face was as hard as if he were entering a baf.'le, "and don't any of you meddle with me keep C.?i" Tbo bystanders involuntarily" fboyed, with many harsh remarks upon his cruel!, but be did uot heed them, aud wont on. Another and another wus broken, and still there was no sign of life. Then the whole body of by. slanders brake into a loud mursrmr, and cries of "brute 1" "Let tho child die in 1 eace 1" He is crazy take the child from him !" were Heard around him. lie desisted from his efforts for ft moment. and turned with a erceuess which had before boen altogether foroitn to his nature, but no one who saw him afterwards forgot it. "Fools," be hissed, "mind your own business, and leave me to mine. Take her owav. will you ? Try it l1' nnd ho went on. emptying egg uiier egg uowti the apparently lifeless tbront.

Her first-born wus being tortured before her eyes in its death, and she imploringly flung herself 011 her knees before her husband's father, who had the moment before arrived. "O, father, do stop him I" she gasped ; "he is torturing thut poor dying child I" The grandfather started forward n step to interfere, for h, toe, thought the proceeding nn outrageous one : but he stonned and said. "Mary, let him alone. The child will die if he does not go on. it cannot do more than die if he duos. 1 would not sav a woid to him for the world. The child is bis j let him use bis pleasure." there was a silenco then. In a moment more there was a Quiver of the eyelid, a con vulsive movement of the chest, and the teeth lost their tension. The father seized bis child, ttirued her face downward, and the poison began to flow from her mouth. Again slid again as the retching ceused he repeated the experiment the life returning still more, und the face losing its black color every instant. More than twenty times the albu men had been administered, and more than half those tir.s followed by- the expulsion of tbe poison, when the eves opened the father desisted, and the littlo sufferer lay just alive in uia urms, exhautted, its little lite terribly shu tiered, but taven! 1 ben when the uecessity for exertion and determination was over when the physician hud been summoned, and they knew that darling little Kveleen might live, alter many weeks ol a struggle between life and death; when the relieved friends bud acknowledged that they hud wronged him first, when the beautuul and sorrowful wife bad blest bun through her kisses and tears, and all knew that under Ciod only such almost fierce de termination could have snverl the child then the father sat down, unnerved, und wept like a child. Not as in "Little Sister Evelyn," did the poison do its fearful ofiice. Kveleen is alive to-day, ami her brown eyes aro opened upon wnmunhnoil. iut there is no hour 111 my lire tlmt brings so thrilling a recollection a that ol the young father's struggle for the hie of his child. New York Despatch. (From the Boston Post ) 1837 and 1857. Some stilt go back to the suspension of 1837, aud say that the cases are, nt bottom, utiulogous, uud thut what then was unavoida ble is necessary now. We have remarked ul some length on the facts that prove them not to lie. Take nn illustration that comes home to our present condition as to specie one drawn from the state of tho exchanges. Nearly a lortnight ego we remarked that in place of the millions of foreign indebtedness, und of the ruinous drain of specie out of the country iu lbilT, the rate is such in 1857 thut it must bring specie fioui obroud. Look at exchunge to-dnyj 1 1 is at such d rate as to allow a margin of profit to import specie from Kitrope of between tight uud ttine per cent; the trade is sorb thut the specie must come; and it is eufe to predict that heavy imports can begin within thirty days, while our own product is pouring in constantly liom California. Need we point to the differ ence between such a state of things and the state thut existed at the date of the 137 suspension T Then our exchanges were against us us to specie, and it was flowing out of the banks and out of the country. liut look at this alleged analogy in a point of v ew in which we have not considered it. The suspension of 1837 took place at a time when our crops were all in had been all used up. Indeed, all through the South the plunt ers had even pledged the crops nut yet town llitife a' 183S 'or means in meet their ennane ments Let us recall a fact or two. Here is a '(notation frein a N. Oilcans paper of 1337 just b 'fore the suspension : "New Orleans, April 5, 1337. Three hundred bales of good quality cotton were bought for remittance to Liverpool, on Tuesday, for Seven cents. In Hinds co inly, Mississippi, more riu a thou sand fails, have been brought." To show,the slate ol me South we take the tollowiiig troni the Mitsistijiian, printed at Jackson, tbe seat of Uoverniueut : "Nearly three millions are to be recovered in the three couuties of Hinds, Madisou and Yazoo, aod propnitinu. ally in other counties of tbo Slule, by tbe approucbii.g terms of their respective courts." Aud tbe West was as bad off as the Bou'.h. lo fact, crops there, hud fuiled, and up to tbe very day of the 1837 suspension we were in creasing our indebtedness to Europe by im porting wheat. A table of these importa tions is before us, down to April 19, a few duys before tbe general suspension. This is no less curious thuu it is valuable : Jan. Feb. March.

Then, by the natural conrse of trade, specie was going abroad j (oir.g abroad, too, to settle balances occasioned hy commercial transac tionsto pay tot the flood of wheat that was pouring in upon us. The suspension took place in May. Now look at the state of things to-day ; here in October, before the crops have come to market. These crops are onormons ; they will eoon be available j they must go forward ; and they are what the foreigner cannot do without. Wt can stop foreion impertatints nt any moment, and the indications are that they aro pretty effectually stopped for tbe present; but the foreigners cannot stop bnr ing of us. Cotton must go forward ; and this article at this moment croakers to the con trary notwithstanding is jngt as good, if not better, than so much specie. The grand sur plus at the West is watting to pay eastern indebtedness ; and this will Bet the wheels of trade in motion. , Here are reenperative elements, all soon to be available, which bear no snology whatever with their condition in 1837, and which, too, ore beynnd the reach of tbe furions bulls and bears of the stock board and even the rail roads, which havo been a main cause of the present panic, are to bs most powerful in strumentality to aid in Ihe work of recepera tic'l ; for along these highways are our varied products destined to flow to their natural markets, will) n celerity unknown be'ore. Whoever brings these cnpa from the gra oaries of the W"r, to th tvaffhels of the Kast will do a public servirfc-nd when here, they will come in aid of tbe I'.rcggling mer cantile community. These are the cheering tidings in the busi ness horizon. They may not quite yet justify the cry of Land Ho 1 They are enough, how ever, to warrant the conclusion, that if the ship can be kept afloat a little longer she w ill rencb a safe harbor. From the Journal of Cointneice, Oct t? J Tho Caloric Motor Revived Mr Erio eon's last Experiment. By next February, four years will have elapsed since tbe caloric ship "Ei icssou" went to Washington City, making seven knots bu hour, with a bead wind. By many the suc cess of the new principle seemei to be estab lished, and was chronicled accordingly ; but the expectations then entertained, tailed to be realized, and the caloric machinery was replaced by the ordinary steam engine. I he time which bas since elapsed has not been stiU'erod to pass fruitlessly away by Mr. Erics son, for be bus lubored infutigubly for the perfection of bis original design, and the development of a motor promising important results to commerce and the aits. 'I he calo rie engine has been re-produced in forms va riously modified, aud in all cases with great simplicity of construction ; while the labor which it performs is vastly dis proportioned to the consumption in other ei.y.iuee These remarks are supgosO a visit made yesterday to the oCice of eoiin li. Hitch ing, 37 William street where ono cf Mr. Ericssoe's engines, as just csmpleted, is set up, on a small scale ; but is sufficiently large to illustrate tbe principle. Though occupy ing less than a cubic foot of space, and healed only by gas, the power developed defies the strength of a single man. It is employed in pumping and raising three hogsheads per hour to u elevation of five feet. This pattern is callod a "domestic engine," being adapted to perforin a great variety of work ordinarily done by hund, and with a surprising degree of economy. Still another caloric engine is located on one of the piers of the North river, and is designed for ships' use. In this capacity it. promises to accomplish important results; lor our lino large packets aud sailing ships, being uuable to carry steam engines, are un suppliud with the Wortliiugton pump, and therefore have wholly to rely on in&nuuj la bor in ridding the ship of water, in case of leak or other exigency. The caloric engine may be placed in the corner of the cook's gailey, almost unobserved, aud may be pat iu operation iu fifteen or twenty minutes, sav ing the labor of an entire crew. There being no possibility of explosion or other disaster, the cook is amply qualified to o lunate us en gineer, if desired.' The potition of the engiue is a matter of the least consequence, as it re quires little beside air, aud cub ruu iu tbe lore-top or upper deck equally if ell. In additiou to the above a beautiful steam yacht bus been plying about tho harbor for the last leu weeks, and is often secu running across from Stuten Island to Long lsluud io , propulled solely by caloric. This bout is fi ty leet in lotiglh, with an eight-feet puddle-wheel which works about thirty turns per minute, giving a spued equal to uight or nine kuots uu hour. The engine is controlled by any one who happens to belong to the party on board. The fuel is either coul or wood, isuiull oak wood has generally been used, sawed into eight inch lengths, uud in credible as it may seem, onla one cord bus been used during the lust six weeks, tboagh the boat bus been run more or lu.-s every duy! Even alter tbe fires are wholly extinguished sufficient beat is retained in the metal of the engine (if it bas been thoroughly warmed ami is iu good working order) to propel tue uout at least two miles. Tbe space occupied by tbe engine of this boat is not larger than the boiler which the same boat would require if propulled by steam. It is said tb-.it the caloric engine can bo built on any desired sculo of magnitude. Though the principle on which Ericsson's caloric engiue was originally built is wholly preserved, the arrangement and mecliauis.n are eutirely differcal the whole being re duced to a degree of simplicity never before attained in auy engine. It is rousouaUy sug gested that in places where "dry motors" on ly can be employed, as iu the gold diggings of California, this now efcgiua must prove immensely valuable. TwENTV-rivs Mils; Hack.

Below we giro a copy of a letter from Ben jamin Franklin to the Hev (Jeorgo Whitefleld We do not remember to have ever seen it in print before. Wo regntd it as one of the best letters of its distinguished author : Pun.APEt.t'HiA, Jtins 6, 1753. Sir I received your kind letter of tho second instant, and am glad to hear Chat you iucroase in strength. 1 hope yon will con tinue mending, tiil yon recover your former health and firmness. Let me know whether you still use the cold bath, and what effect it has. As to the kindness yon mention, I wis it eonld have been of mare service to yon. But if it had, the only thanks 1 should desire is thnt you would be always equally ready to serve any other person thnt may need your assistance, and so let good offices go round ; for mankiud are all of a family. For my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as conferring favors, but paying debts. 1 have received much kindness from men to whom 1 shall uever huve any opportunity of making the least return, and numberless meiits from God, who is infinitely above being benefitted by our services These kindnesses from men, 1 can tbereforo only return ou their fellow men, und 1 can only show my gratitude for theso mercies from God by a readiness to help His other children, and my brethren. For I do not think that thnnks and cnnipli. ments, though repeated weekly, can discharpo -ar reul obligations 10 each other, and much less those to our Creator. You will see in this my potior of good works, thut I am fur from expectiug to merit Heaven by them. By Heuveu we understand a state of happi ness, infinite in degree, end eternul in dura tion. 1 can do nothing to deserve such re wards. He that for givi'ig a draught of wa ter to a thirsty person should expect to be paid with a good plantation, would be modest iu demands compared with those who think they deserve Heaven for ths little good they do on earth. Even the mixed imperfect plea sures we enjoy in this world nre rather from tiod's gooduess than our merit ; how much more such happiness as Ileaveu! For my part, 1 have not the vanity to think I deserve it, or tbe folly to expect it, nor the ambition to deserve it ; but content myself in submit ting to the will and disposal of that Ciod who made me, who has hitherto preserved and muy well confide, that he will never muke me miserable; and that even the afflictions 1 may at any time sutler shall tend to my bene fit. The fuith you speak of has certainly its use in the world. 1 do not desiro to see it diminished, Dor would 1 endeavor to lessen it iu any man. But 1 wish it were more pro ductive or good works than I huve generally seeu it ; 1 mean real good works works of kindness, charily, mercy and public, spirit ; uol holiday keepiug, sermon rvudiug or hear ing, perloiuiing church ceremonies, or making long prayers, filled with the flatteries aud tc.jiplniieuts ,uspid ever: by win nur., aud much less cupable of pleasing the deity. 'Ihe worship of Good is a duty; the bear ing and reading ol sermons may be useful; but if uicu rest in hearing and praying, as too uiuuy do, it is as if a tree should value itelf on being watered, uud pulling forth leuves, though it never produced any fruit.
