By Ibis time all was excitement on board the
Fort Adams. The Shelby was a larger an! at=
for boat, and she woe pressing us hard. I could
boar the barkeeper Mall out to the steward, for'
.more ine—iind is ',glanced, towards the ,bar, 1
'obsti n tvcd a crowd of persons In excited talk,
drinking; among them M wan the captain:
!Coma e : let's go On the hurricane dock,' old

As we entered the cable' to go foitiatdattd

her of ladies rushed from theit,catiiiitdigsrds
us, exclaitning—='Gonllomen, May are racing ;
they!!l blow us all up,,gontlomen..
'Ladies don't be friklitelied,' said Old Ken-
noir in a manner of exceeding courtesy, at the
same time taking off his fotskin.
'Oh, sir,' eteldimed a beautiful delicatolook
.lls lady to him, in an agony of terror,—'don't
let them race, Iliad a brother and sister lost on
the Mozelle.
'Don't be frightened my good lady don't be
frightened,' rejoined the Kentuckian—end sha
king her band he proCeeded to the hurricane
deck.
The Shelby was 'barking' after us liktra
blood hound•from the slip.
,Thorn was quite
an expatiso of Water .in this place, hitt as I.
learned froni the Kentuckian, who was-an old
pilot, and acquainted with every foot of water
in the river, the - Channel here was very devious
-and-dangerous. The captain came to the Ken,7
I tuchlan's side with a flushed cheek and,asked
'What Jo you thinker it, Sint - Oen?'"
'lll had the strength of my namesake,' re
irentuckian, 'l'd swim out and chUck
that - boat, cargo, passengers and all ashore—fie
it-is;s her:is-too last - for-usTand - I - mlirsys - knevr ---
itr-1 told-you Bob Albert, the pilot there, has
been on a bust this week past--they sent their
yawl ashore this. morning, wanting to learn,
something about ; Beattio's sick
—and 1 saw then Albert was tight; he swore
you Should not heatthem . if they tilew -every
thing up. I tell you' capting, iC ,, my opinion
they'll be into us—the channeris too narrow
here for them to pasfuk-=Land they've got such
a head of steam: on, and they arc so much big
ger than we arc, that if they come again us we
aro gone.'
'Rentuck,' called out Rogers from the wheel
house, 'just stop here a moment—you know the
channel better than I do-1 wonder`what those
rascals mean.'
The meaning seemed to be to my eye a" re
solve to run us down—the smoke ascended
black and sulphury from her chimneys, with oc
casional flashes of volcanic fire, that showed
she hild all the steam on possible. She gained
on us evidently, while the excited crowd on
her hurricane deck and guards repeatedly hur
ried, as by the orders of the mate- they step
lied to the mmo . '6 of the boat to f(cmp her righ:
know that
fed:'. •
The noise they:made. and-their evident ap
proach, with the fearful trembling of our boal f
'for we had all steam on too, so alarmed the la;
dies that following impUlse rathe'r than reason,
for they would'have been safest perhaps in'the
cabin, they hurried on 'to the hurricane d.ck,
and the oriel. have before'spoken of rushed to
Samson, who was at—the wheel, and 'begged
him not-to rime any more.
Ilme.ra,.elhey , ll be into
'a my opinion they mean to run us flown—
they must be all drunk there.
Tretty much replied the Kentuckian.—
'Bob Albert was in for it early this morning;
he's the only pilot on board, that is Beattie Is
down with the fever mighty low—Bob hates
your captain 4iere, and when We tight he's
perfectly crazy.'
'We shall all be lost--we shall all ha lost,'
'exclaimed the young lady. Oh? Mr. Old Ken
tucky 600 us.
'Old Kentucky will do that my dear young
lady if he has to shoot the rascal at the wheel;
they're bent on running us down—self preset
ration is the first law of nature—if two men
are grappling for the same plank at sea, which
will hold but tine, each has the right to push
the other off it he can—that's law I'm told,
tlidugh I never thought it exactly fair, especi
ally if the weaker, man had got the Maria. first
..-however, if these fellows run into us it will
be a clear case of murder, and they are hardly
six lengths otr: Hang It, these ,boats bark so
that you can hardly hear yourself talk. Hal
low there, what are you. after—look out. Here
Rogers ion take the wheel a moment, and
hand me my rille—you see it's necessity."
, Don't kill him ,' exclaimed -Rogers,- neverr
(helms complying with his request.
'Kill him, no, but I'll just break that right
Arra of his between the wrist and elbow, the
firat.time he ehowtrit fairly.'
So saying Oa-Kentuckian deliberately lifted
his rifle to hiOhoulder. We all felt our den
gcr:,,too well io interfere or say a word. In a
moment more the sharplport of 'the ripe was
heard. Ail eyes were; filed upon the pilot of
the Shelby. ,ln an instant his arm fell lifeless
to his aide, andihe Shelby uncontrolled' rushed
on to a shallow bar just beside her, and in ano
ther Moment was fast aground..

" ANGELINA'S FAINTED."
Thotalk was of Haiti:4l6i.
"Don't speak of , em,".cried Miss Angelina
Daffy. "Pin certain of it—if 1 were only to
look a Hottentot, I should,faint—l-mustjaint."
"Fiddlededee," said Mrs. Lillywhite ; and
there Was a blush—a pause in the conversation;
for when Miss Lillywhito exclaimed "Fiddle.'
dee," It behooved thoughtless young ladies to .
look to 'themselves. Igritv, Miss Daffy had a
great talent for feinting. Perhaps the talent
was originally a natural gift; nevertheless, it
could not be denied that a frequent and earnest
cultivation of the endowment had brought it to
perfection. Miss Daffy, at one elinuto's notice,
could faint at any time, and upon any subject.
She could faint at either extreme of the day- 7
faint et breakfast or faint at supper; could
faint with equal beauty.and. truthfulness, whe
ther the matter to be fainted upon were a black
beetle, a'bull, or a bullfinch.
~_Miasl,illywhito was a spinster of-seven and
forty. I am six—seven—sight-and-forty;
next birthday!" Miss tillywhite would blithe
ly observe atrthe year m ight ba. And this_gay.
ramify was the morn pleasingin Miss Lilly ;
passed for
forty ; nay, had sha'stickled ever so little for it,
she might have got off with Via and thirty at
most. And Miss Lillywhite was as jocund as
she was handsome. It is said, there is no bet
ter preservative againsktbe melancholy chan
ges wrought by tim e,
. than honey. Miss Lilly
white ,hed unconsciously, acted upon the un
known recipe, and had preserved herself in the
sweetness of her dispositiob. In the honey o
her goodness she was a pattern old maid. Yet
a pattern, - We would hope, serer to 6e followed,
for it is such women who MMIM the real wives
and mothers.
But let_ us take up the stitch of our little
story.
“Fiadlededee,” said Mil; Lil',white.
Min Angelina looked Surprised—amazed—
and gradually became very deeply wounded.—
What, under the new and painful circumstance,
.could-she do? Whyolic--fell-Atack - upbri life
strength of bar weakness ; she instantly made
ad ostentatious preparation to faint 7
Mils Lilly White drew her chair beside Ange
lina. "My dear child," said Mies Lillywbite,
"you must give up fainting—it's gone out of
fashion',"
"Fashion, M ! D. you think
that feelings"—
" Fiddlededee," again repeated Miss Lilly ,
white. "When 1 was eighteen, y.our agar
said Mise.Lillywhite, "and that, lily dear, is
uoarly thirty jeers ago, I used to faint, too.—
I enjoyed faintinlyery•duc4 indeed, my dear,
1 question if ever you take greater pleasure in
fainting than 11. did.
" Pleasure !" exclaimed Miss .Angelina.
"Who could remain dumb under such an impu:
teflon?" _ ,
"011,1 know all about its pleasure, my dear,"
said the. remorseless Blida Lilly white. " You
see, it gave me a little consequence ; it jircw
upon ma general notice; it made me, as it wive,
the centre of a picture ; and it was a pleasure
to.bisjoy so much sympathy about one.
Alsgelina was very much offended—deeply
hurt. "We may faint onco_too-often," repeat
ed IWiss Lillywhito, and abo'sighed ; and then
her customary smile beamed about her. "Of
this dreary truth 1 am a sad example."
"You! Miss Lillywhite ?" said Angelina.
"Listen;" said, the old maid. 't'Tis a short
story, but worth your hearing. When I was
nineteen, I Was about to be married. About,
did I say ? Why, the day was fixed I was in
my bridal dress; at the altar; the ring, the wad•
ding ring at the end pc my finger, whim"—
"Mercy on me!" cried Angelina, " wha
happened I". '
"I fainted," said Alin and oho
shook her head, arido wan smile played upon
\--
her lips.
"AO you were not married, became you
fainted ?" said Angelina much awakened to the
subject.
Aa I him confessed, it was my weakness to
feta upon all I:messiahs. I enjoyed the interest
that, as I thought, fainting cast - about me.—
My lover often looked coldly—suspiciously;
but love conqUered his doubts, and led him tri•
umphantly before the parson. Well, the mar
riage service was begun, and"—
"Do go on," cried. Angelina. -
"And in a fAw, minutes I should have been
his wile, she" I thought I must faint. It
would nem very bold of ate in !mobil' situation
not to faint. 1, who had. fainted on ao tunny
.occasions, not to ewoonat the altar would have
been a want of sentiment—Ofproper
on sti awful an occasion. With this thought
felt myself ; and just as the
britlegrdiSsn had touched my finger with tho
ring, i went off; yes, my dear, swooned with
all -the honors"
"Do go on," again exclaimed Angelina.
"As I swooned, the eq . '3 ll O (rem the
bridegrooni's fingers, and was rolling—rolling
—to drop through the aperture of the stove, that
from below , admitted - heat to tho church, when,
though ewooning—l somehow raw the danger
and, to atop the ring, put forth my foot"—
Well I" exclaimed Angelina. •
"Toik late—the ring2r . olted on—disappoared
down the chimnajof the slove,andthen I fain

About throe yealla ago, the Rev. R. S. Mc-
Clay, of Concord, Franklin county, Pa., (late cf.
Gettyaburg,) received a gall from _the Board:oh
Foreign Miaeiono connected. with the Medic , -
,diat EpiscopatAiniih,lo visit Claw' and prtaqh

central flowery land. WClay waft young, ar

,ho arrived in China, and was eta %
tioned at Fau Chum, some seven hundred miles
in the interior from Jiang Nov.- Thitre:- be -
studied the native language, and commenced
his labor of love among the Celestials, with the
most flattering success. Still there wee some-
thing wanting—a void in the hpart to be filled
—he sighed for that beet solace to man, either
in Weal or'wee—ti woos. HMV to get one was
an intricate question tb solve. There were no
American ladies thine froth whom to make a
choice; and as for a Chinese wife, the lawsNoi:
the land forbade it, neither did his inclination
desire it, What then was to be done'? A fer
tile imagination can accomplish Wenderi—a
firm 'determination can surmount difficulties
that would `olettop old Potion.' He yrroto to
the Board of hitSsiMia on'the subject—he wrote
in pathetic—we might perbapi say—poetic—
strains, able lonely condition for the want ol;
ono on whorl ho could bestow his afibethins,,
and who would be the partner of his joys. and
sorrows through life, and ended, by asking that
the Board Bond him a young lady who would
lea willing to bccomo his wife—agreeably to
hie direMions, which be sent in the form of a
blank declaration to be Shed up by the lady ac
cepting the propoeition.
This VMS a novel proposition, but the Board
was of opinion that it was a just one, and pro
cesded_vrith due diligence) to search for tho oh'
joct desired, and strange tiisity, succcoss crown
ed their Olin.
Some time previous to the receipt of Mr.
Clay's letter, a young lady, Miss Henrietta
Sperry, of Brooklyn, N. Y., 'made application
lo the Board to ho aciAmi a Missionary to Chi
nas but was refused on account of being un
married. To her the application of Mr. Mc-
Clay..was shown ; she al once filled up the ap
plication! and !.....per'rrespondence.eneued which
ended in ha laving New- York in , company ,
with a number of other missionaries, on the
12th of March last, In the ship Tartar, (or
Hong ICong, where she will ha met by Mr. IV-
Clay, and the nuptial ceremony will be solem
nized..
The lady's , personal attiactions'-have-been
described to us, by ono
,who had the pleasure
of seeing her previous to taking sail on her
mission alloys. She is described as being beau
