By POlllO accident, the death of Lieutenant Godfrey Carruthers, of the Bengal army, was not mentioned in any of tho Calcutta newspapers.— 'rho event occurred in a remote district, and was passed over without notice; a rather unusual thing in India, where the assurance of the de cease of a friend or acquaintance is generally made doubly sure by a full detail of the circum stance appearing, first in the daily, secondly in the triweekly, (a pet colonial phrase signifyilig the publiCation three times per week, and not once in three weeks,) and lastly in the weekly, journals of the presidency. It happened that the Bengal army rejoiced in a second Godfrey Car. 'ntlers, also a lieutenant, hut in no way related to the first. My friend, who was an Englishman of- good family, and very fairly endowed by na• titre with mental and personal qualities fitted to render him a favorite both with hisrown and with the softer sex, had been 'creased in love. His heart had surrendered at once to the bright eyes of the daughter of the colonel of his regiment, who came out to India full of expectations of cunquest, and determined to make as much havoc as she could among the unfortunate youth exposed to the power of her charms. Accordingly, by way of pastime, she trifled a little with the affections of my unhappy friend, whom she discarded the moment that a more eligible suitor offered himself. Godfrey took the °frith greatly to heart; in fact, he had nothing else to do. No opportunity oc. curred of revenging himself by falling in• love web any body else; for it must be confessed that the unmarried fair, within three hundred irides of the station, wore very inferior to the shameless coquette who had sacrificed him to her love of ad miration. My sympathising ear was the chosen deposito of all Godfrey's woes, and, during the continuance ()Utile but weather, a period in which employment of any kind is not easily attainable, he came regularly to my bungalow to bewail ov• er the darkness of his destiny, and the treachery or womankind. Ono morning, when pretty well tired of endeavoring to administer comfort to a person who refused to be comforted, who hugged his wretchedness, and scorned the idea of tictitig free, I was agreeably surprised by the animation of his countenance. Ho came on horseback, but 'instead of approaching, as usual, with melancholy stop and slow, lie had fur outriddon the panting bearer who cal-lied an umbrella, mounted on a long pole, to shade his head from the sun. Die mounting with great alacrity, he made but three steps into the interior, and first piernising that he had soon the folly of grieving any longer about a faithless wonnimpulled a letter out Wills pocket and placed it In my hands. It proved to be a voluminous epistle, written in a neat female hand and dated from Milan. The contents wore of a very interesting nature, and cupid not fail to ten. der the writer an object of sympathy to every ono possessing a feeling heart. Some of the pas sages run thus:—"You will not, I am sure, my dear Godfrey, be displeased at the stop which I have taken, in consequence of the death of my mother, and the melanchbly assurance contained in your lal3•t letter, that years may still elapse be fore you can have it in your power to make ar rangements for .my voyage to India. Yuu are well aware of the nature of tho feelings of your family, of their unwillingness to sanction an en gagement which they consider to be disadvan. tageous to you. Ido not wish to complain of their unkindness or the unreasonable nature of their prejudices; so long as they thought that my fortune would equal my birth, they worn gratified by the expectation of an alliance with an older and better family; but when the same calamity reduced us all to different degrees of poverty, mine certainly much lower than theirs, they are desirous to amend their broken fortunes by con. nocting themselves with richer people, forgetting that my dearest mother, who might have in dulged the hope of obtaining a much more eligi blo match in point of worldly advantages, never allowed such,selfish considerations to weigh an instant against your worth and excellence. Be. Bove - me, it is-painful to speak thus of people who must be dear to you, but it is necessary for you to be acquainted with all the circumstances which have induced me to enter the family with whom I am now travelling 4s the governess to their daughters. At my mother's death, the pension which she received from government wholly ceased, and you know that we had lost every I thing else in that fatal bankruptcy which obliged you to seek your fortune in the East Indies.— i l Your father's house was not open to me during this period of affliction; it was not difficult to per ceive, and their own letters must have forced the same conviction upon you, that your mother and sisters thought that you might do better, either as a bachelor in India, or as the husband of a wo man who would not come quite portionless, than by fulfilling an engagement made under more prosperous circumstances. I could not stoop to be a dependant upon their unwilling bounty, and therefore closed will, n proposal made to too by a family who were about to proceed to Italy for three years. It was fortunate that I did so; for, shortly afterwards, your father and mother deter mined to go to Canada, and, I believe, aro now making preparations for their voyage. I should, therefore, have been quite as distant from any di• rect communication, had they offered me an any• lum, as I am now; indeed, more so, for the ar. range:items which Mr. Sinclair hes made with his agent in London, will cause the least possible delay in the delivery of your letters. This is a twice told tale, my dear Godfrey, but I thought it best to enter a second time into particulars, in case any accident should have prevented my for• mer communication from reaching you. Do not make yourself uneasy about my situation; I shall endeavor to bear its discomforts with cheerful tress; you know that I am of an enduring temper, rind, though I do not pretend that I can be happy as a dependant upon persons of a very uncongeni. al nature to mino,l shall make the best of my lot. You need not fear that the various annoyances I -have to encounter will induce mo to seek any a inancipalion, excepting that which the fulfilment of 0111' OrlVlffellient now promises. I repose the fullest confidence in the stability of your affection for mo, and you may be equally certain that the regard which I have so often professed is quite as unchangeable. You spoke of three years as the prohuble period in which you might be able to claim my promise of joining you in India, and if I should dwell upon the less agreeable circum stances of my present position, it will only ho to stimulate your to such exertions as may abridge rather than lengthen the term which must keep us separate." This formed the explanatory portion of a corn. municallon evidently intended fur the Lieutenant Carruthers who had so lately paid the debt of na. lure; the remainder related to the peculiar tastes and sentiments of the miter, and was calculated to afford an Impression highly favorable of her talents and disposition. The perusal of this let for occasioned a great revulsion in Godfrey's feel ings. Though he admitted that it was not ad dressed to him,he contended that fortune had pur posely thrown it Into his way, and that there would be nothing dishonorable in his assumption of the character of his deceased namesake. Ton. dornoss (or the young lady, who could not fail to be overwhelmed with affliction at the news of her lover's death, he argued, should induce all who entertained the least compassion for beauty in distress, to engage in the amiable deceit. For his part, his determination was taken; ho would at least afford her the moans of coming out to In din, and she would of course have the option of Focusing him. In the mean time, his letters, ho rusted, would make so groat an impression upon har heart, that she would be unable to resent his solicitations. Hore, however, a now difficulty a rose; though there wore amide directions given respecting the despatch of the correspondence through the hands of Mr. Sinclair's agent in Lon• don, the lady. confident in her lover's recollection had only signed her Christian name, "your affec tionate Amy." Godfrey was in despair, and I was malicious enough to suggest that he could not be certain whether this wore really and truly the baptismal appellation of his Duleinea, since it was often the abbreviation of Emily, Emmeline, Amelia, or Emma. 1, moreover, proceeded to display my learning, by explaining to him that the name was derived from the Latin word amo, to hive, my authority being that diligent antiqua ry, old Camden. This last piece of intelligence consoled him; ho thought that it promised an aus picious termination of the affair; und•antoring at once, with the most enthusiastic ardor, into this new pursuit, ho contrived to possess himself of the papers belonging to the deceased lieutenant, which had fallen into the hands of a brother offi. cor, who not particularly gifted with intellectual endowments, was easily persuaded that a person bearing the same name could claim the right of kindred. The effects loft by the Into Godfrey Carruthefs, in the opinion of many, fully answered the de scription frequently giyen of those which have strayed or been stolen from the pockets and reti. cubes of ladies and gentlemen about town; they appeared to be of no earthly use excepting to the owner. But his representative found them in valuable; for, in addition to a rather faded but spirited sketch of the fair Amy Montague, there wore packets of her letters, and copies of many which had been addressed to her by her lover, who, whinever his other accomplishments might have been, certainly was not blessed with the pen era. ready writer.

The intense anxiety which Godfrey felt to secure the comfort of the woman whom he hoped one day to make his wife, induced me to offer my assistance in the furtherance of his plans for her happiness. I wrote to some female relatives of mine in London, requesting them to invit,e,Mtss•Mnntague to remain at their house un til she could proceed to India, representing myself as the most intimate friend of the gentleman to whom she was engaged. Amy's situation in Mr. Sinclair's family proved sufficiently disagreeable to render this invitation very acceptable. I had, of course, flourished a great deal about Carruthers in my letters to my aunts, and they in return gave descriptions of Miss Montague's amiability and accomplishments which almost turned Gmlfrey's j brain. The plea of urgent private afEtirs might have procured a furlough for Europe for my love sick friend; but he was afraid to venture; ho thought that, once in India,Mies Montague would cling to him as her only friend and erotectorond would feel less inclined to resent the fraud he hod practised, than wore his confession to be made in her own country We had reason to believe that the fair one was now upon her voyage, and might be expected soon after the receipt or the letters which inhumed us that her passage had been ta• ken on board the Ariadne, one of tlie best sailing ships in the trade. Godfrey, of course, determined to go down to Calcutta to meet his bride elect; but, being ton neryoos to declare himself without the support of a friend, he persuaded me to accompany him to the presidency. We had scarcely made arrange. ments ihr the reception of Miss Montague at the house ore female friend, before the arrival of the Ariadne was announced, and though the weather was none of the coolest, our kind ho.teis consent od to accompany us in tho steamer which was despatched to the vessel to tiling up the plasm gers None of the three felt perfectly easy, for by this time Mrs. 11411iday h .1.1 been tondo ac quainted with the wnole affair, unit could net help anticipatin, a scene of no very agreeable description. ropean, and one in tho native dress. These were very beautifully executed, timid Allen having profited by the instructions of a professional ar- Itist of considerable talents and repute. Godfrey assured his mistress that these wore very much Ifluttered, and ho hoped that, though she would at first be disappointed by the want of resemblance, she would look upon them with affectionate re ' gnrd, and having become familiar with his coon tenance,lin would have the advantage of not meet. ing her as an entire stranger. He did not ex pect to be able to carry on the deceit during more than one interview, but he flattered himself that his letters would have prepossessed her in his fa vor, and that, after the first shock was over, she ' would look upon him as one with whom she hind been long acquainted. . .. I felt sufficiently interested in this adventure to busy myself with making enquiries respecting ' the temper, disposition, and habits of the deceas. ed, and all the information I obtained tended to show that the young lady would ho a gainer by the exchange. It appeared that, although nato. rally well disposed, young Carruthers had been easily led astray; he had, at an early period after his arrival in the country, involved himself in debt and difficulty; and, affectionately attached to the lady to whom he was engaged, arid almost hopeless of over being able to perform his prom ise, ho had flown to his worst enemy for consola tion, and owed his death to drinking. Sharing in the common delusion respecting India, he had not sufficient courage to undeceive the woman . who depended with affectionate reliance upon his assurances that he would claim her hand within a given period, and Amy was therefore left in complete ignorance of the true state of his eir• cumstances. Throe years appeared to he three ages to the impatient spirit of Godfrey Carruthers; one at least might be abridged, for he was net only per fectly independent, but master of no inconsidern. hie MUM, with prospects before him which might have satisfied any mind less ambitious than that of the lady who required rank as well as pecuni. ary advantages. His first impulse was to lodge money immediately in the London agent's hand, for the expenses of Miss Montague's outfit and passage; hut he was deterred by the great desire ho felt to create an interest in her heart, by a cor respondence which could scarcely fail to prepos SORB her in his favor. The romance of this ad venture invested it with a very powerful charm, while, half distracted with doubts and anxiety concerning the issue, he experienced the guilt est delight in pouring nut the fondest effusions to the object of his adoration. These epistles were very managed; they contaiitedjonly just enough of allusion to past events to identify them with those of the real Amphitryon, while the re mainder related wholly to his admiration of the sentiments she had expressed, and to portraitures of domestic happiness, which wore eminently cal culated to dazzle and enchant a young ingenuous mind, full of hope and confiience. Ho painted oriental scenes, explained to her the kind of life she would lead in India, gave her judicious di. rections respecting her outfit, and, in short, left nothing undone which could melt, persuade, and captivate a gentle and feminine heart., Tho ecs tncy with which he pordsed the first reply to his own letters was worthy of the chivalric feeling of the knights of old. Amy had receelved three or four of them at once, and the innocent expression of the happiness they had afforded her rendered Godfrey almost frantic with joy. Although I had been at first very much inclined to laugh at his folly, and to reprobate the delusion lie had practised, the strength and sincerity ofan attach rent an strangely inspired rendered it respect able in my eyes, and I began to perceive that it was not more ridiculona than many of the idle fancies which loud young men to rush into mat rimony.

Selections from the Baltimore Visiter TIIE STUDENT AND TILE MAN OF DIISINE99. I have often been led to remark the different esti mates which men ofequii capacity, and strength of mind, but whose lives have been spent in different pursuits, put upon the same thing. To the man of business, there is something intangible about the am bition of the student—and to the man of lettcrs,whoso laboratory is the human intellect, there is a grossness and sensuality connected with the business man, which he cannot comprehend, when he considers mind's vast capacities, and reflects upon his own un speakable delight while penetrating one secret of science, or intellectual philosophy after another, and contemplating with astonishment and 'wonder the thousand new beauties which arc constantly revealed to him. Roth too often lose sight of that peculiar character of the mind, which invests its pursuits with interest, no matter what they may be, and discovers; by con tinued familiarity, attractions which it alone can feel. I was induced to these reflections by the remark of a professional friend, who said, that he thought I was growing worldly minded—too much engrossed and interested in business—less social—more abstracted, and eiven up to considerations unintellectual. All this I sin ready to acknowledge, and yet, not admit a fault, or a falling off. 'consider our natures as two fold,—the animal claims regard as well as the spirit ual; and its wants arc more apparent and more de manding. In the present state of society—and it Is well that it is so—much the larger portion of our time' is required to attend to the wants, comforts and conveniences of our bodies; which wants, comforts, and conveniences, must be acknowledged and attend ed to, or the mind will not enjoy any portion of that satisfaction and delight for which it is ever yearning. 80I3RIETY OF MIND. I wish you a long life and a sober one, said Ito two young friends who had just been married. They looked at me with surprise, and asked an explana tion. Can the reader give one? WEALTH IS CUARACTER. Stephen Gerard once answered a servant who ask cd him for a new hat, by giving him the one he wore himself. The boy threw it away—for it was worse than his own. Now, some think this a precious lee. ture on pride,—but the boy had more sense than his master after all;—He had a character to make, and to command respect from appearance,—all that he could be judged by—while Gerard had a character for wealth;and with that his influence he knew would cm unimpaired—and ho be held in equal estimation, even if he wore a wool hat and leather breeches. THE DIAS DE JUDGMENT. Man is a greater fool than he will at any time give himself credit for, notwithstanding his boasted inde pendence of judgment and reason. He is called a rea sonable animal by way of distinction, but precious few among us use the high attribute rightly—or not at all; suffering social attachments—light prejudices, and petty influences to overrule us to our injury. We make a great deal of noise about immutable princi ples, and conclusions from certain premises, as fixed as mathematical demonstrations; but it Is all too often a farce. That opinion, for which, to-day, we would suffer martyrdom, to-morrow we question, and, per chance, the next day abandon. And so it will ever be. The light in which we view a subject upon its first examination, is a very different one from that in which we look at it after attentively considering it, --and the more we reflect upon it—and the more va ried our illustrations of it are, the more will our judg ment change from its first impressions. This should lead pets( tin to admit any conclusion or belief with extreme caution; and never, at first sight, or under the enthusiasm of first impressions, to acknowledge any thing, or adopt any course of action, which, if wrong wuutd involve serious consequences. TIIE SPELL OF YEARS. Bow painful to note the change which years have made whether it be in the outward or the inward man! So intently occupied as we ever are with Indi vidual interest, we rarely pause to reflect, or note how many changes are in progress around us, until accident awakens us for a moment to consciousness— then, the work of time seems like the doings of an enchanter,and we stop and wonder for a moment; un til we glance inward and find that there, alas! tho't. feeling, emotion are not as once they were, when life was in the freshness of early years—and the world had not chilled the first gushes of nature—nor taught us the lessons of experience. NAPOLEoN AND LEWIS PHILIPPE.—The ral3Wirig comparison bel woon the present despot of France and Napoleon Bonaparte, is, we understand, gen. orally circulated throughout the dominions of Lo Roi Citoyon.

Napoleon declared war against kings, but never made it against royalty; Louis Philippa wages -SHAHS. war against royalty,but does notdeclaro it against Napoleon used his generals only in a limo of war; Louis Philic9o calla his generals into action in a limo of peaco. Both republicans and legitimists surrounded tho throne of Napoleon; the eamo parties now conspire against that of Louis Philippe. Napoleon, a single Corsican, is already enrolled in the family of the Crows; Louis Philippe, de scended from the blood of the Bourbons, cannot find a woman who will wed the heir to his crown. Napoleon required only a budget of eight hun dred tnillions,and four hundred thousand soldiers, to make him respected by all the world; four hun dred thousand soldiers, and a budget of twelve hundred millions aro not sufficient to make Louis Philippe respected by the French.

The statesman, who devotes his youth to the struggle of ambition—the inventor of me chanical improvements, who starves his own genera tion to bestow invaluable benefits on the next l -the fond idealist, who dreams restlessly through his youth, and dies unhappy in his old age—the man of the world, whose narrow heart is full of busy vanities —all look forward to its enjoyment : but life passes (I speak of successful lives;) and when the states man has won power, and place, and patronage—when the utilitarian has realized a shadowy portion of some single plan—when the poet is feted, flattered, and carressed—and the man of the world has become an oracle in his own little circle—peace is still a distant dream! Old age creeps on. Into the narrow bond of a few feeble years they crowd all that youth's 'fond energies were to have achieved! The arm of desti ny urges them forward : they totter to the grave.— Alas ! Death's curtain falls on hopes half-fulfilled; plans half matured; energies weakened, but still at work -it is over! Life is over; and peace is yet un won! THE SENSE OF BEAUTY. It is a curious fact, that children, gifted in general with the quickest observation, arc nevertheless sin gularly insensible to the personal defects of their fa miliar companions; beauty, in the abstract, has no power to engage either the attentions or affection's of a child—the ugliest face is frequently preferred to the most lovely, and that without any apparent cause in the different degree of notice or kindness shown. The fact is, that the sense of beauty is the growth of latter years. A child never admires fine scenery, nor 4 beautiful face; but all children have favorite nooks, and trees, and play-places; and all children have preferences among the familiar faces which sur round them.
