The lady was very plainly dressed; her flee was conceakd by a cottage bonnet and a green veil, and her figure by a large shawl. She seemed to enter con amore into the a• musement of the children. "Now," said she to the little girls, "let u• each choose our own wave,and see which will make the finest burst of foam when it breaks. That little one in the middle is my net." "And that very large one shall be mine," said one of the children. ''And Shat other large one mine," ua n l another, "1 like every thing farm."

The eight of :his melancholy relic of what ha•lio,:llteeit a vessel, threw Julia into a fit of musing On the dangers to which her love' was exposed. Althea mused ids i,but it was on the vastness of the mighty Atlan ticond on the glories of the European world that lay beyond it. After extekding their ramble round the eastern point iii the beach, the two friends turned their strips homeward, and fi tund, as they came linclid!“e same little party of young himales. The lade, with her veil ihro vn aside, and her shawl hanging on her arm, was sitwing, litre another Ariel, accempani• ed by several of the girls, who were danc• tug at the same II •no-- Com, unto the.° +fellow clods, And then take hall,: when yuta have, and kiss'd, (The will wavvs wind.) All which direct ions were gaily obeyed by the young sca•ii)mphs. "Tout charming song!" said Althea to Julia, "even in reading the words, 'the sound Is an echo to the s msc.' And then it has been so beautifully -eland the air is so sweet ly appropriate. Often as I heat it, I wish indeed to be a sea•nvmph, and to sing and dance to it for over." ',V ill you join us now," said the lady, •'and 'loot it featly here and there,' among our imitation nereids?" Julia, at first, timidly drew back, but in :mother moment tbllowed the example of Althea, who hail taken, at once, the offered nand of their invitress. Two lively girls re ceived them with a curtsey and a kiss, and the% danced with an animation and a vivid , en.:e enjoyment seldom known in tho rooms of the present day. It was not till the) till stopped to take breath, that Altlrea found herself at leisure to look at the lady, who did net herself join in the dance, but stood by singing the air delightfidly, and now and then directing the movements of her young companions by a ~r aceful gesture of her hand. At this moment a shout from the boys, of .'Ships, ships," drew all eyes towards the yea, and they beheld two gallant vessels, their sails set to a Cur wind, and their heads directed towards Europe. They were two of the New York packets going to sea on their appointed day, one for France and one Cu. England. The boys, of course, knew the names of both, and, far offas the vessels were, saluted them with three loud huzzas; a ceremony that boys never omit an oppor tunity of performing. "Oh!" said Althea, "how I envy the pas• sengers in those ships!" "I do not," replied Julia, in a low voice, "for they have just had the pain of parting with their friends, and they know what sad hearts they have left behind then, and what a tedious time mast elapse before those that they love can be apprized of their safety. Ohl that long, dreary, anxious two months; which must always intervene between a de parture for Europe and the arrival in Amer ica of the first letters!" "And now, ' said the Indy, "l think we had hest turn our steps homeward, or hotel. ward, rather.

"1 never in my lifo," said Althea, "Celt so treat a disposition to cultivato an intimacy with au entire stranger.

"No," replied Althea, "though she might have been there, notwithstauding,, at a dis• mot part al•the table.

"If you had out," still Julia,smiling, "the CIISC you had so readily made out for this stranizer lady would never, perhaps, have entered your head."

[VOL. 9--NO. 4. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. (W THE GOVERNOR. On returning the Improvement Bill, with his signature. To the Senate and House of Representa• tires of Pennsylvania: GENTLEYIEIC—After mature deliberation, I have signed - the hill entitled "An act to provide for the Repairs, and to continue the Improvements of the State, and for other purposes." In announcing the performance of this most unwillmg act,justice to the State, and to myself, compels me to explain the reasons that influenced me, and to make known the line of conduct that will be pur sued in carrying the provisions of the bill into operation. Thig Bill nm,ropriates To State Works, Repairs, &c To State Roads and Bridges, To Turnpikes; To Co. Canals and Railroads, The objections Against the measure are: 1. The magnitude of the sum appropria ted. will he only between 81,300,- 000 and 81,400,000 of n probable and un appropriated balance in the Treasury,during the year, after deducting the sums appropri ated to other purposes since the beginning of the session. Under such circumstances, neither the present appearance of the times, nor the dic'ates of common prudence, seem to justify the appropriation of 81,952,344 IH. 2. The injurious effects of the measure on the future prospects of the Public Works. If the practice once become permanently fastened upon legislation connected with the improvement System, that no public appro priations shall or can be made without an ulh!rmg of a large portion of the Common wealth's means to private undertakings,it is impossible to calculate when any one of the State works will be completed and produc. tive. 3. The commencement of new State works In , fore the completion of those now in pro gress. It may, Inm aware, be said that he only really new works authorized by the bill, are the extension of the West Branch Canal, the Kittanning Navigable Feeder, a nd the Wisconisco Canal,forming altogeth er a distance of about forty miles,ond involv ing ultimately the expenditure of a million or a million and a quarter of dollars. But, it shotild be borne in mind, that that sum would go far towards completing the Erie Or the North Branch Canal, and would more than complete the Gettysburg Railroad; and would thus ren der profitable, works now wholly unproductive, in the prosecution of which the State has already so deeply in volved herself. 4. The unrqnal and unusual manner to which the funds of the State are scattered arno:ig a great number of local objects. if it were proper at the present time to aid the di&rent local projects and improvements of the Commonwealth, which is by no moans nitinitted,the principle should be carried into practice equally to every county, in propor tion to its population and other claims. The local appropriations of this bill, though they are proliase and various,are not made on this principle. 5. The absence from this, or any other bill of the session, of a provision to pay an existing and pressing claim against the Stale. Last summer when the public works were in the utmost need, and the honor of the S ate required it, the Bank ()idle United Suites a 0 eed to advance $200,000 at four per cent for one year, under a resolution of a previous session, though not compelled to do so by the terms of the resolution. That money has not been repaid,and I cannot for a moment suppose that the omission to make provision for it, by the Legislature,is owing to anything but accident. If it is, it is the first instance in the history of Pennsylvania, of a neglect to pay or secure a former debt bellire contracting others. 6. The mode provided in the balk, meet its excess of appropriations beyond the means of the Treasury. With unquestion ed power in the Legislature to compel one of the State banks to advance money to the Commonwealth at four per cent, it is with no little surprise that I find a section,auther izing the Governor to borrow $600,000, at any interest he may see fit to give. What ever truth there may be in the alleged in stances of bank inlluence,he who would sus pect a friendly leaning to the institution in question, in this case, would have at least appearances in his favor. For, when it is recollected that the duty to loan to the Com monwealth a specified sum at four per cent when required by law, was a part of the bo nus agreed to be given for her charter, the conclusion is almost inevitable, that refrain ing to compel her to do so, proceeds not from hostility, but friendship. She,at least, will so understand It; and it will be difficult to convince the people of the State, that a greeing to pay a much lighter rate of inter est for money, when it can be had at four per cent., is an act consistent with the best interests of the Commonwealth. It would he in fact, bestowing the difference on the bank in question, were the provision Tally executed; and would be justly considered a real subserviency to bank interest. The objections to the hill, under ordina ry circumstances, would be conclusive in my mind. But the circumstances of the present juncture tiro not °r an ordinary char• actor. _ In the first place,tt will be recollected that mrsta of the reasons now stated against tho policy of this measure, were cootaiDed and published among those which cau.cd me to refuse the executive sanction to a bill, simi lar in principle, though more objeCtionable in many of its features, ta the close of tho last session.
