THE SEA C APTAIX'S ItKTtnX.
Captain Potter, of Newport, 11. I , was a
wealthy and amiable gentleman, whewe family
consisted of his wife, wtio was the pattern of
virtue, and one daughter who, though very
young, exhibited the polished beauty ol'hcr
mother, and the tivacity of her father. As he
was much experienced in the business of a sea
captain, he was oncred ttie command of a ves
sel, which promised great advantage, and with
great reluctance lell his amiable wile and child
once more to try his fa to on that clement,
whose composure lures to the gates of iiiipro
phetic destruction.
This voyage once completed, Capt. P. drter
mined to renounce the faithless deep forever,
for thejwii of his own ficrFide. Previous to
his departure, he took a gold ring from the fin
ger of Tats wife, and placed it on his own, say
ing, ftmnld this return not on the same hand,
you may rest assured that I ntu among the nn
confined dead of the tcean. With these words
he departed. Alas! Mrs. Potter was dontued
to drink deep at the fountain of woe. After
waiting the period of his expected return, she
began to g;ue with anxiety on every sail that
appeared in view, and eageily sought every
opportunity to learn from public documents
some tidings of her absent husband, or the fate
of the ship in which he sailed. Ilut all her
efhsrts were ineffectual ; the only information
that cvaJd be, or at least ever was obtained on
the subject, was from ait English vessel, which
ran thus: "May lti, 17! Ni, spoke with the
Ranger, from Newport, ( apt. Potter, master,
in :W degs. :W) m's. W." This indefinite in
telligence was far from cheering the heavy
heart of Mrs. Potter. When she saw others
blithe, it only reminded her of her own sadness,
while others vrc enjoying the reciprocity of
conjugal society it ointed her to the loncli
au'M of her own heart. U'hile other children
were happy in the rmilcs of their ki rents, her
angelic little Mary would climb upon her knee,
and with accents that rend a mother's heart,
inquire if her fulher would not return. Hut
mouth after month wasted away ; season alter
season rolled their tiresome wheels along, un
til fourteen years hud been added to the con
gregated centuries of the ast ; yet no tidings
came of Capt. P. ; no, not even a probable
conjecture, concerning the dark mysteries of
his fate.
Time, that changes all things, had Worn a
way the acutcneits of Mrs, Potter's grief, which
was far more intense than it would have been
had she really wept at his grave and known
fhal the last moments of her husband had been
soothed by allt ction. As this last voyage of the
f ajitaiu seemed to be to the unknown coast, she
was railed tliO widow Potter. Having a splen
did mansion, and a country seat of great value,
her hand was awuglit by many, and 06 often re
jected, until a bachelor, who had resisted the
charms of woman kind fort quarter of a cen
tury, was amitten with the lorelinesa of this
worthy matron, or with the comeliness of her
possesions. Nie et length consented that her
itau.n should be changod to Morane, the bridal
d lVr was appQinMF Mi arrangements were
made to greet the coming period with due fes
tivity and mirth. The gossips began to lx
nor loquacious than usual ; every tattler had
Iwr tale of weddings to tell ; even the phleg-
malic began to surmise trust something unusual
was about to be done at the mansion of widow
Potter.
I.ate in the afternoon of a Cold, stormy day
in November, a pcnnyless beggar called at a
neighboring house ai enquired whether the
widow Potter lived in this iart of tho city.
His appearance denoted lite most extreme
poverty ; his emaciated form tvas reduced al
most to a skeleton ; deep furrows ivcro drawn
in his cheeks, and his tottering fratne seemed
to ho stitlened in every joint by disease or hard-
shiis. Vet there was something in hiB eye
that told he was born to a better fortune
Yes,' says his informant, 'at the very next
door, a ml to-night she is to be married."
'Is to bo married !' said the beggar.
'How long hasher husband been dead V
'These many long years; he went off to sea
and his not been heard of since.'
'How has she sustained herself since her
husbands death !'
'She has an unblemished chancier.'
'Has she any children !'
'One daughter only, who has become a fine
young lady.'
'I must see her before she is married ; I
have some communications of importance.'
No saying, he hurried as fast as his feeble
limbs would carry him, to the splendid dwell
ing of the widow. The maid iu attendance be
ing summoned, and seeing a beggar before her,
was about to close the dooss against him, but
the stranger interrupted her by saying :
'Madam, may a beggar be permitted to see
the widow Potter !',
'We expect company to-night, answered the
maid. 'Therefore you must leave immediately.'
'The widow Potter I must see,' rejoined the
beggar, interrupting her.
The maid, who would have been glad to dis
miss her unsightly guest at this juncture, liegan
to be somewhat angry, and passionately ex
claimed, 'begone ; we can't hear ye not now.'
Hut the man of want was still more importu
nate, rightly thinking lie was not likely to gain
admituitico without making known his err mi
accosted the maid still more earnestly, 'young
woman, I have some tidings of very great im
portance to communicate to the mistress of this
mansion, which were given to mo in trust by
Captain Potter, the former proprietor of this
place.' At the mention of this he was per
mitted to enter. The lady, who was soon to
be Mrs. Morane, was informed that a rude beg
gar had some important information for her, and
desired to sec her immediately, whereupon she
arose to meet him ; but Morane, 'vho could not
bear to have his intended bride ubsen. for a mo
ment, remonstrated.
'1,'t him le called in,' said he, 'if he has
any secrets to reveal, let us hear them together.'
Accordingly he was shown into the njmrt
inent, where sat Mr. Morane, Mrs. Potter, and
her daughter.
From whence have you wandered !' asked
Mrs. Pottea.
'From the vile shores of Rurbary.'
'Doubtless you have suffered much ; cruel
people inhabit llmse regions.
'Much have I suffered I was once in easy
circumstances, but alas ! the elements have
sported with this vascil'uting frame !'
Yes, deep are the lines cf hardship which
are marked on thy furrowed cheeks.'
The wanderer gared on the young Miss Pot
ter ami was observed to weep,
'Why those tears, hapless old man,' inquired
Mrs. Potter.
'Ah !' rejoined the tremulous voice of the beg
gar, 'I once had a daughter who might have
become what she is now, but since the third
birth-day dawned on her cherub form, these
eyes have never beheld her.'
Come, come,' ejaculated Morane,who was
anxious that the intruder should t'epart, 'let Us
have your tale of M'crecy,'
'It shall be given to Mrs. Potter only, and
to her alone.'
That cannot be,' muttered Morane.
'Hut I have made a promise.'
What of your promise !
'It is sacred as my life.'
'Hell speak and depart,' says Morane.
The beggar, who until now had been suppli
ant, assumed an attitude of authority, his eye,
which had thus far been bcamles kindled into
an expression of the most benign determination.
'I have,' said he, 'a revelation entrusted to
me by Capt, Potter himself.'
At the mention of his name, all was anxiety
and attention I in her perturbation the mother
let fall a volume of poema which she held in
her hand ; the daughter grew pule with solici
tude, on hearing the name of her fa'her,
'And sootier than beUsy my trust,' 'this
right arm shall pcrislu
The pathos and vehemence with which ho
utljred 'nis last rrnteuce, cuuiird the blood to
chill through their vein?, and 'rush like a cat
aract upon their hearts.'
Morane, finding remonstrance was vain, con
sented for them to retire by themselves. The
nun of want having quieted their fears, that no
harm shou'd befall the honorable lady.
'There,' said he, as he closed the door after
them, 'have you any knowledge of this,' pre
senting her at the same time a gold rinir.
Yes,' answered Mrs. Potter, 'it is the one
my husband wore away, and I would have given
thousands to see it return on the same hand ;
but now t am convinced that he is among the
unkeelcd victims that feed t;ic monsters of the
deep.'
'How long since your husband's departure !'
'Fourteen years.' v
Could you recognir.c him after so long an
ahsYffCO ?'
" Most certainly I could, If his features are
So changed, just Itehind the thumb of his left
wrist, his name is inscribed in unfluling charac
ters ; in that I cannot be deceived.'
'Read thatO says the stranger, a he gave
her his callous hand. The lady was just able
to read 'David Potter,' and sank exhausted by
her agitated feelings. The noise of her fall
brought Morane into the aparlmeul with several
of the wedding guests, who had now arrived,
and beholding Mrs. Potter scnsless upon the
fl'Xir, supposing sonic violence had been dorm
to her person, they ordered the supposed ruf
fian to leave the house immediately. In Vain
did he protest his innocence. He was-seized
and forcible dragged out As soon as Mrs. P.
had recovered sufficiently to speak 'merciful
heaven,' exclaimed the anxious lady, 'where
is my husband, where is Capt. Potter! Do I
dream, or is it a reality V 'The woman is
mad, snys one, 'her bruin is crazed,' cried a
nother. 'It is the wild impulse of a dream,'
Continued a third.
Captain Potter, who hud been thus liircibly
dragged from his own bouse, was at length
called back to the scene from which he had
been compelled, though reluctantly to retire.
The priest, who, by this time, had arrived, was
overjoyed to sec his old friend the Captain
'Rejoice,' said he to Mrs. letter, 'thy husband
was dead, and is alive, was lost and is found,'
Captain Potter now requested all to be seated,
that he might make known to them the story
of his long absence. Order was soon restored,
and he proceeded as follows : 'Yon behold in
me the same Captain Potter who has been an
unwilling exile from his home for fourteen
years. 1 was captured by an Algerinc pirate
ship near the island of Malta, and compelled to
serve those vile hordes. Oh, liow hafd is ser
vitude among a people whose tenderest mercies
are cruel. I was forced to labor at the oar' and
when from futigue, I could no longer gr.ip it
the muscles of my wrist were seared with a
hot brick until my hands were imovably clench
ed.. i;ic4 for death to come ami rvmoVe mv
instipjiortuble laid. Kvery year seemed an
age, so tardy did the wheel of time move along.
At length by a treaty with the U. State, the
Dey of Algeirs was required to rvlvasc all A
merican slaves, lleing set at liberty, 1 em
barked for this country ; and we encountered
furious gale which drove the vessel on a
desert island. Here all the crew perished ex
cept four, who were taken off by a merchaul
ship iu a state of insensibility. The vessel
which rescued us was bound to the Ka-t Indies.
On her return to Liverpool, I was pressed on
board a maii-of-war and compelled to serve
three years bet! ire t could make my escape.
'From the moment I learnt this intended
marriage, t resolved to surprise you in the man
ner yoj have seen ; yon saw me weep at the
sight of my own Mary ; they were the tears of
joy. Having suffered incredible hardships both
by sea and luud, I stand before you in these tat
tered garments, with a broken constitution,
rendered infirm by intense boldly exercise, yet
rejoicing that I am permitted to stand among
my former friends, and in the land of the free.
Ami,' said the storm-beaten mariner, addressing
himself to his wife-, 'if you prefer this gentle
man, whom you are about towed all shall be
right! Ifyotl prefer your former husband, he
will he happy ill your clioicc.' 'It me have
my first U'l rot lied,' said the agitated lady.
Poor Morane sat like one forlorn, he attempt
led to appear indifferent, but retired as soon as
the forms of ceremony would permit His
career was stunt, lie came to the grave a wretch
ed inebriate in a few short years. On the fol
lowing day Captain Potter invited his friends
and neighbors to meet him at his country seat.
The scene was one of lively interest, and the
comptiuy returned home with this salutary leg-
eon indelibly stamped ujn their minds, never
to forsake those in Diversity.

a good looking stranger from one of the

Here the stranger, touched by tlic

fall a tear of sorrow. Recovering,
however, he contrmied a follow?:
'I5ut, Miss,' said the gentleman, 'why

'I know not whal, sir,' said the girl.
Turn your attention to sicculation.'
'I know not what kind, sir: and if I

Oh, Miss,' said the gentleman, 'there

'Name it, sir.'

About the year l?0 a circumstance
occurred, which deserves to be written
on adamant. In Hit wars of New
England with the Aborigines, the Mo
began tribe of Indians early became the
friends of the Knglish. Their favorite
ground was on the banks of the river,
(now the Thames,) between New Lon
don and Norwich. A small remnant
of the Mohegatis .still exist, and they
arc sacredly protected in the possesion
and enjoyment of their favorite domain
on the banks of the Thames- The go
vernment ol" this tribe had become he
reditai v iu the family of the Celebrated
chief I Was. During the time or my
father's mercantile prosjicrity, he had
employed several Indians of this tribe
in hunting animals, whose skins were
valuable lor their fur. Among these
hunters was one named acharyt of
I the royal race, on excellent hunter,
is . . m ta
but as drunken and worthless an In
Idian as ever lived. When he had
somew hat passed the age of fifty, seve
ral members of the royH family who
stood between Zachary and the throne
of his tribe, died, and he found himsell
'.I t ..V-L . t 1.1
wunoniy one nie uciwcen mm anu tnc
empire. In this moment his better ge
nius resumed its sway, and he reflected
seriously. 'How can such a drunken
j wretch as 1 am aspire to the chief of
j this honorable race? What will my
J people say, and how will the shades of
my noble ancestors look down indig
nant upon such a base successor 1 Can
I succeed to the great Vncas T I w ill
drink no more !' I fe solemnly resolved
never again to ffiste nny drink but wa
ter, and he kept his resolution
I had heard this story and did not en
tirely believe it ; for young as I was, I
already partook in the prevailing con
tempt for Indians. In the beginning of
May the annual election of the prhrei
pal officers of the (then) colony was
held at Hartford, the capitol. My fa
ther attended officially, and it was cus
tomary for the chief of the Mohcgans
olso to attend. Zachary had succeed
ed to the rule of the tribe. My father's
house was situated alout midway on
the road between Mohcgan and Hart
ford, and the old chief was then in the
habit of coming a few days before the
election, and dining with his brother
governor One day the tnischeivous
thought struck me, to try the sincerity
of the old man's temperance. The fa
mily were seated at dinner, and there
was excellent homebrewed beer on
the table. 1 addressed the old chief
'Zachary, this beer is excellent: will
you taste it ?' The old man dropped
his knife and fork leaned forward with
a stern intensity of expression; his
black eye sparkling with indignation
was fixed on me. 'John,' said he, von
do not know w hat you arc doing. V
