Early in the. month of August, 1811, a good sized brig started from Boston, bound for New Orleans. On board there was an t old man named Adam Writ, seeking an only son, who, he had learned, was somewhere on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Adam W. was wealthy, but for years he had been alone to dwell among its glitter. When the old man had taken a second wife to his home, his son Landon stepped from his father's roof, and swore that so long as his stepmother lived, he would not cross its threshold again. The second wife was now dead, and feeling sad in his loneliness, the old man resolved to seek his child. _ The brig had good weather, and for several 12 days nothing had occurred to break the mo notony of the.mage ; but at length one of ;0 the look-outs reported a sail to the southward 1 2 and eastward. The wind was from .east, g and the brig had it slightly abaft . theTheam, 17. as her course lay south-west. Captain Poole brought his glass from the cabin and after is gazing on the ranges for some ten minutes, 'a made herout to be a schooner standing di -14 rectly towards them. 13 Where do you think she's, bound?, asked . , rs Adam Writ, as he heard the'cLiptains report, 10 'Couldn't say yet,' regal the .captain, 11 again leveling his glass at the stranger. _ d s can tell you better after watching her a spell. 208 Fifteen minutes passed,.and at the end of that time Capt. Poole lowered his glass. and while a slight tremor shook his frame he said : 'That schooner is falling oh.' 'And what of that ?' asked the old man, who had failed to notice the captain's man ner. 'What of it ? why, simply that the fellow is bound for this brig.' 'Wants to speak to us, I suppose,' said Writ. 'Very likely,' returned the Captain, as he turned his eye aloft; and again turning to the old man, he continued—'You-need be under no needless alarm, sir, but in all probability that schooner is a pirate.' 'A pirate,' reiterated Writ, while 'his face assumed a livid hue. 'Then what in heav en's name shall we do ?' - 'We shall have to make the best of it ; for of two things we may rest assured—we can neither run away from him nor fight him. Look, his deck is crowded with men. The brig's crew had by this time become aware of the schooner, and, as may be sup posed, they felt anything but comfortable un der the conviction thus arrived at. The brig was heavily loaded, and at best she was but an unpromising sailor; while the schooner with the wind - full upon her quarter, came dashing along at a furious rate. A consulta tion was held upon the quarter deck and it was at length agreed upon that the brig should'be kept on her course, and if ordered by the pilot to heave to, they would do so at once and offer no resistance, which, if offered at all, could only render their situa ion worse. :n an hour and a half the pirate had come up to within a mile, and fired a gun to wind ward, and in a few minutes afterwards the brig was laying to with her main topsail to the mast. The crew watched the schooner as she began to round to, and though they could not repress an instinctive dread; yet they felt confident that no violence would be used so long as they offered no resistance, nor in this were they disappointed, for as the schooner ranged along side , and the pir ates began to flock on board, no sign, of murderous intent was manifested. The pirate Captain was the first to board the brig. He was a young man in the prime of life; and next to follow him was a fair haired handsome youth, whoseemed to hang upon his commander's steps witlt'a strange mixture of devotion and fear. 'Do you command this vessel ?' asked the pirats leader, of Capt. Poole. 'Yes sir,' replied Poole. 'Then of course you will have no objec tions to my overhauling you cargo, sir,' said the pirate with a smile, ler you have some articles to which I may take a fancy.' 'ICI am not mistaken,' returned Captain Poole, 'you will need no permission from me, as I am unable to resist.' 'You show your good judgment at least; and if you lead the way, I will take a look at your cabin first. As the pirate Captain spoke, he turned to The companion way, and was just on the point of starting for the cabin, when his eye caught the eye of Adam Writ, and at the sight he started back as though he had seen a spirit from the other world. The old man, too, seemed equally startled, for as he gazed in the (ace of the pirate, a fearful tremor shook his whole frame, and he grasped for breath, the buccaneer gazed in the working features before him, and then stepping for ward and laying his.hand trembling on the old man's arm said— "Tell, rne- old man, from whence you caine—tell me what name you bear ?" ' 'Men call me Adani Writ,' replied the old man' half recoiling from the touch- that rested on him. . • 'Great God, my-father !' broke from the pirate captain's lips, .and he would - -have fallen upon the old man's bosom had he not .put forth his hands, to keep him oll; erhy father,' repeated old Writ, moving .back from where he stood' no,. no, I am not thy father- 0 God, . once tha t -ntightoot have been my boy, once I gazed with a parent's pride upon thy features, and once called the son! But--0 heaven ?is .this a dream ! My boy a pirate ! 'Father' 'still urged the pirate, following with slow step the old man's backward movemenwown me as your son and you shall-- 'No! away, bloodthirsty man, I know the 0 God and is it thus I have found my bay;' 'Listen to me one moment,. my father,— exclaimed the ,pirate chief, in a tone and manner, little in keeping -with his vocation. 'These hands are, not tamed with adrop of blood ; save whererthe flag of England has waved, I haie not till the present-tine in truded no deck, but my own.' :Eat now, though I have gold in my lockers, I am in want of bread ; yet I will leave and go in peace. You shall receive no further trou ble from me. The old man covered his face with his hands and the deepest agony dwelt in his bosom, and whlie ho thus stood, the pirate captain ordered his men to return to their vessel. The gallant youth who had follow. ed his chief on board the brig, at this mo ment approached the place where Adam Writ stood, and clasping both the old man's hands in his own, he said— 'Oh, sir, if you are the man father, speak to him one kind word. Smile upon him and own him as your son. One word from you may reclaim him from all his errors.' 'Boy, uttered the old man, as he gazed upon the pure and heavenly features that were turned so earnestly towards him, you know not what you ask. I have left my home in search of my son, but such as I find him, I will never own him.- Backagain will I go, and alone will I travel my weary way through life. Oh sir, think once more !' urged the youth, seeming to hang every hope upon the result • of his plea. 'One fond greeting from his father may yet reclaim him. Speak it, 0 speak it !' 'Never, never; uttered Adam Writ' as ho pushed the suppliant from him. • 'Then the duty must still rest with me,' sadly murmured the youth, as he turned away from the spot. 'The father may cast him oil but I cannot. Prank,' at this moment exclaimed the pir ite captain, come here. The grapplings are already cast off and we must away,— Not a thing here have I molested, and I shall leave with a light heart. Come.' As the pirate chieftain spoke, the youth followed him quickly on board the schnon• er, and in a few minutes afterwards the brig was again on her way unmolested. • Ladles of New Orleans, Mr:Fuller, the editor of the New York Mirror writes from New Orleans, as follows in relation to Southern ladies ; ..At the risk of being charged with a lack of galantry, I shall venture to slate that the Southern ladies paint like Jezebels. Brows, cheeks, lips & necks, bear palpable marks of chalk andvink saucers.' ro an unsophisti cated taste this giving the lie to Nature is simply disgusting; and, in a married woman, should be made by statute, sufficient ground for divorce. I say it boldly, as I intend to leave this evening. ' , The Quadroon ladies of New Orleans excite both a feeling of admiration and pity, ' admiration for their accomplishments and beauty, commisseration for the unnatural and unjust condition entailed upon them by the laws of Louisiana. A man cannot legally marry a Quadtoon woman, unless he is able to swear that he has black blood in lug veins. As many of these women are not only very white but very beautiful and highly accom plished, resistance to their charms is no easy matter; and as love is not apt to be controled by statute limitations, thecnnsequence of this absurd state of things is readily anticipated. They marry, or place, as they call it, with out the sanctions of the State or the bene- I dictions of the Church. The mother of the Quadroon girl consents to .tt temporary ar rangement provided her daughter is furnish ed with comfortable quarters, and a couple of slaves, with a promise on the part of her mock husband to give his little Quadroons a good education. It is not a very uncom mon thing for Northern Bachelors, to say nothing of Northern Benedicts, to be under the necessity of supporting and educating the offspring of this peculiar institution. I have heard of one case, in which a man was so madly, or, perhaps, I should say truly, in love with a beautiful Qnadroon, that in order to marry her, he injected a little black blood into his veins procured from one of his negroes ; and then took the regular nuptial oath, thereby fulfilling the lettei of the law. It may spoil the romance ot the 'story ,to add, that the lady had a duvvry;of 'BOO,OOO 'dol. bars. But in this age of gold the mercenary spirit is an element not to de overlooked, and he in the South a bachelor in a .ball•room is asked to be , introduced to a young lady with ao many hogsheads of sugar—or so many bales of cotton—or so many well conditioned negroes. A young lady with more chorine of purse than perion, overheard an ungallant- fellow remarking' the other evening upon the freckles on her face, when she turned upon him with 'tint ifirtrp retort that her father had "a negro for' every fr,vekle I NUMBER '24
