IL TALE OF DOMESTIC LIFE. BY A SKETCHER. Three young ladies were seated in a rich apartment. They were the Misses Aman da and Emma Ellis, and their cousin Delilah Charleton. The latter was engaged in the womanly occipation of sewing; the two for. mer in discussing, critically, a ball at which all three had been present the preceeding evening. "t don't like that Mr. Barton at all," said Miss Amanda, continuing the conversation. "Nor me either," responded Miss Em ma, who was the oldest. ""And why not, cousins'!" asked Delilah, "I am sure he is handsome enough—ts he noir "Yes; but—" "But what. coz!" said she to Emma, who had spoken last. "Surely his manners are pleasing, and his language polished—with. out affectation." .. "Yes, yes, but for all that, he is vulgar" raid Emma, nottishly.'vulgar in his ideas.' "Vulgar!" exclaimed Delilah, 'you must again allow me to differ with you, coz,' she continued, looking in her cousin's race with a winning smiles "I think he is quito refin ed"—mors so than Mr. Price or Mr. Brown and many of tho other gentleman. "QM) Ibisok of comparing Mr. Bar sn with Mr, Brown,vrtise gentleman:" ex \claimed Nils, Amanda Wile. "Why Mr. Butnri ica.tnepAunicl" "Well, ouppsiso he is dear," said her cous i n , “doe s thatinake him vulgar, or less respectable! For .tiny_ part I think a me chanic can be as much "pf a gentleman (in the true sense "3I the word) as . a are." ' "Well I declare, cousin Lila, you do have some of the funniest notions;" said Miss Amanda, "just for all the world like pa: he thinks one man just as good as an oher, even though he be a laborer." "Yes," said Emma, "I do wish he would be a little more circumspect, and find bet ter company for his daughters, than me chanics. It is his fault that Mr. Barton comes here; he gives him such pressing in vitations. 1 suppose he wants me, or you Amanda. Would'ot it make a fine para graph for the papers? Miss Amanda (or Emma) daughter of James Ellis, merchant, to Mr. Charles Barton, mechanic. Ohl dear!" and the spoiled beauty, (for both sis ters possessed great personal attractions) threw herself back upon the sofa and; laugh ed heartily, as also did her sister. "Well, well, girls," said Mr• Ellis,who, hidden by the half open door of the apart ment, had been an unobserved listener to the conversation, and who now entered the room, "you may laugh now, but you may live to regret that you did not try to obtain Mr. Barton for a husband. Mark that,"— and the old gentleman, taking up hie hat, left the apartment. 44 Who would have thought that pa was listening," said Miss Amanda, "but I don't care." " I declare, if there is not Mr. Barton on the steps!" exclaimed Emma. who was looking through the blinds. "Come, come' she continued, addressing her sister, "let us go up stairs into the other parlor, and leave cousin Las to entertain him; it will be a pleasure to her, for she is partial to me chanics," and the sisters left the room. The object of the foregoing conversation was a young man whom Mr. Ellis had in= troduced to his daughters, and niece some months before, as a master mechanic. But unlike their father, who valued a man for his character. and not for his money, the Misses Ellis' were great sticklers for res pectability—their standard for which was riches—and the consequence was as we have seen, that Mr. Barton . did not stand , any too high in their good graces. Mr. El. lis knew this false estimate of respectability was a predominant fault in his daughters ' characters, and he determined to give his daughters a practical,'and salutary lesson. How he succeeded, the sequel of our stn• ry will show. A few momenta after the sisters had left the room, Mr. Barton entered. He was a bout the middle Leight; with fine figure, regular features, and an intelligent counten ance. His eyes were of deep blue—his eve-brows finely arched, and his forehead high and white, from which the jet black hair was pushed beck displaying its fine proportions. He was certainly a handsome man, which fact, even the Misses Ellis did not attempt to deny, and the ease, and po liteness, with which he greeted Miss Cherie ton, spoke his claim to that which that lady herself had awarded him—the title of gen tletnan. He was soon seated, and in conversation with Delilah: Delilah Charleton was a charming girl. It is true she did not pos• ess the exquisite proportions and regular features of her two cousins, but then there was ever a sunny smile upon her face, and a cheerful spark in bet clear light blue eye and she had such light and bounding spir its, that made her appear, if not as beautt• tul as her cousins at least more bewitching; at least thought Mr. Barton as he gazed upon her bewitching countenance. How much better, thought he, would it be to pos sess her for a wife, dependant as she is up on her uncle, and &merles. as she would be, than either of the Misses Ellis, with their spoiled tempers and their fortunes. Thinking thus, is it to be wondered at that he left her with a hilf formed determi nation to win her love if it lay within his power. W hen Delilah appeared at the dinner ta ble that day, many were the meaning and inquisitive glances her cousins cast upon her. At last unable to restrain their loving habit of " running" their cousin, they spoke. "I hope you spent a very pleasant morn• ing, cousin," said Miss Amanda, with a mock arch look. "A very interesting tete a tete was it not,"whispered Emma across the table. "1 spent the morning very pleasantly," answered Delilah, blushing slightly. "Ohl 1 dare saY," said Emma sarcasti cally, "I suppose he gave you a dissertation on mechanics, did he not coz?" "Well, and suppose he did?," said Mr. Ellis who had been listening patiently, but into whose honest face the color now rose. "Is it not better to listen to that, than to the senseless conversation, and sickly senti ments drawled out in affected tones by the foplinge, half men, half monkeys, who dis- grace humanity?" and the old man cast such a look upon his daughters as made them quail beneath it. "But never mind, Lib'," he continued in a softer voice, and patting his niece's rosy cheek, "never mind, Mr. Barton is worth three or four such' would-be gentlemen as Mr. Price and Mr Brown, and is more ways than one. Marlia, that.girlsl He is worth two or three turn in snore ways than one." The last sentence he addressed to his daughters. Days, weeks, and months rolled.by, and Mr. Barton bad become a frequent visitor at Air. Ellis'. It was very evident he was paying "panics/are' attention'to Delilah • Chatleton, and it was also plain to see that they were not unacceptable. This fact fur nished an ample subject for the sister's sar castic remarks. As for their father, when ever they indulged in them in his presence, o knowing smile w3uld play upon his face, G.

Thus things continued for some time.— At last one morning, about three months subsequent to the period when our story commences, Mr. Ellis entered the parlor where his daughters were sitting, with a light step, and sparkling eye. „ Well, girls, what do you think of at?" said he rubbing his hands in glee. "What?" asked both the young ladies in a breath. • "Yes she is going to honor the mechanic withler . hand. What do you think of it, ha?' "I don't think much of it," said Miss Ern. ma, with a toss of her head. "Nor 1," said Amanda. "You don't oh? Well suppose I was to tell you she is going to marry a man worth two hundred thousand dollars, would that alter your opinions?" "Why what do you mean pa?" "Listen! and I will tell you girls," said the old gentleman, bending upon his dough. tars a grave, and some what stern look. "The father of Mr. Barton to whom y oui cousin is soon to be married woe an old friend of mine; we were playmates in boy. hood. He was apprenticed to the carpen ter trade abaft the same time I entered the counting house. Soon after he had finish ed learning his trade he went to the city of Baltimore, and there started business for himself, and there he , was married. Being possessed of genius , and having a good edu-. cation, from a master mechanic and build er, he soon became an architect; and subse quently amassed a large fortune. Know ing the reverses of fortune to which all are liable, he resolved to make his only son Charles a good architect, so that if ever the 'fickle dame' should desert him, he would have wherewith to earn honestly his daily bread. He succeeded. A year or two ago be died leaving his wholo'fortune—his wife being already dead and Charles being an only, child.. About, six months ago Charles came to this city on a visit. He called upon me as his father's friend. In the course of conversation I asked him why he was not married. He said that he had never yet mat with a young lady he thought worthy of calling his wife; that ho could find enoigh who would marry him for the sake of his money, but, that such a one he. would never marry. told bun that I would introduce him to some of our city ladies and see if he could not find one amongst them to suit him.— He required then that I should conceal his wealth, and introduce him only as a master mechanic. I acquiesced, and, knowing your false estimate of respectability, I em braced the opportunity of teaching you a lesson, which, I sincerely hope will have a . salutary influence. I knew when I brought him home with me, and introduced him, that neither of you would be bis chosen, because 1 was certain you could not stoop so low as to wed a master mechanic; but the event that will soon take place I easily fine saw. Your cousin knew nothing whatever of his wealth until to-day. I see you look surprised girls, but did I not tell you that you would be sorry some day that you did not obtain him for a husband? And did I not tell you that he was WORTH two or three such ninny-hammers as Mr. Price, and Mr. Brown in more ways than one? Remem ber, girls, that wealth is a false standard by which to judge of respectability and worth. Not that a rich man may not be respecta ble, but that very often he who earns his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, is more of a gentleman than he who courts his thousands." And they did remember it. For in Idler years they showed in their choice of hue. bands that they had not forgotten their hon• eat old father's LESSON. "I really don't know who I love best," said Jane Manvers to her friend Martian Westell, as she returned from a splendid party where she was the 'admired of all ad mirers,' William Stantonor Frederick En glish. Out of a host of admirers that my fortune, now that I am an heiress, has brought to my feet, I have selected them. They are neither rich —both are fill. ed with sentiments of honor as far as ex pressions and general conduct go. Both love me. Neither have expressed it in strong terms—but either only wait for the necessary encouragement, I am sure, to pop the question. To either my for. tune would be an advantage. They may— it is an ungenerous thought—but I cannot help entertaining it, love my fortune,and not me. Do you know. Martian,. I ave strong thoughts of putting,their love to the test?" "How can you do it?" "I have thought of a way. You may re• member that I had a cousin who was sup posed to be lost at sea, and the property which bad made a poor unnoticed girl so much courted, was to belga, if he were liv ing." "Yes, but you have had- , 63 1 full and pos itive proofs of tua decease." "I know it. but the world does not, nor can my two hivorite lovers .be acquainted with the fact.-1 tbereftwit purpose to state in the papers that my cousin is not dead as was supposed.

"The wedding! what wedding?" "Your cousin's." "Delilah'il" THE STRATAGEM. flatterers by whom they are surrounded This will at least test my friends. What think you of my plan?" "Excellent—try it by all means." The idea was acted upon, and it was curious to see how Jane's admirers dropped of ono by one. Her two lovers waited up on her at first in her retirement, and Jane was more puzzled than ever which to choose. Frederick English's visits in a short time became more like angel's—that is few and far between—while William Stanton's were constant. Upon one of them he said, '.My dear Miss Manvera I have known you long. In the days of your prosperity—surrounded as you were by many lovers who were af fluent, and I did not dare to disclose to you a passion which I had felt from the moment 1 knew you, and which has grown and strengthened with my acquaintance. Now that you are poor, like myself, the diffidence which had else hermetically sealed my lips from divulging my heart's passion is remov ed• t lam not affluent, but I can support you with respectability at least, and if you will accept for your husband one who loves you devotedly, I do not think that you will ever regret the how' that makes you mine. At least I will try never to give you cituse." "I believe you doar William," said Jane, "and it you will accept a beggar, for 1 am little bet ter—" !'Say not so dearest—l cannot listen to such wrong even from your lips." "Your fortunes shall note suffer by the u nion." • "That they never eon. When shall our marriage take . placer 1 7Next week, if you will." "At your lodgings here." )'No, at the house of a friend. Call for me, and we will proceed together there." At the day appointed, William was in readiness, accompanied by Frederick Eng lish. They were both surprised at the magnificence of Jane's attire, and thought it someatbat out ofcharacter with her cir• eumatanies, but how much more surprised were they when stepping into a carriage with Jane and 'Eliza, they were driven to Jane's former residence, and found her still the mistress and the heiress, and lear ned the plot by which she had tested her lovers. The way Frederick cursed him self and his fortune was not slow. Girls, you who possess money, make it a point of finding out, before the irrevocable knot is tied, whether you are loved for ypqrselvea or your fonuries. AIFTICE SIIIPWRECK. — The 101 lowing k affecting incident is detailed in a let ter from one of the Sandwich blend Mte sionariecto Rev D. Armstrong agent of the Board of Foreign Missions and published in the N. Y. Commercial: 'About the time of our leaving home, a sorrowful providence occurred. Tho breth ren at Honolulu, tearing that we should not venture upon a canoe, engaged a vessel, which was to go to Hawaii for Mr. Lyons, and to call on its return and take us. The vessel made its passage to Hawaii, and when near its place of destination was cap sized, and lost. All on board, consisting of thirty souls, were drowned except four.— These seemed to be miraculously preserved to tell the sad tale of the fate of their com panions. When the accident occurred they were near the shore, but the wind and current were against them, and thinking it vain to attempt to reach Hawaii, they congregated themselves upon the rolling billows, and there together in their distress offered up their supplications to Him who alone could preserve them from the threatening deep. They attempted to swim to Kahoolura, some thirty miles on the opposite side of the Channel. One man and his wife took a covered bucket and tied it to their bodies, and in this was swam until the bucket came to pieces. The female swam for some time, but on turning she saw her husband becom ing too week to support himself. She stop• pod and rubbed him until he could proceed. They went on until Kahoolura was full in eight; ho then became too feeble to proceed without assistance, and supported himself by holding to the long hair of his wile's head. In this way she towed him for some time; his hand soon let go the hold and she tried in vain to rouse him. She told him he must pray—he commenced, but only uttered a few words. She put his arms around her neck—held him with one hand and made for the shore. When within about half a mile from the shore, ehe found he was dead, and she was compelled to let go her hold to support her self. They had then been in water about thirty hours. , When she landed the was three days before she saw 'a human I?eii.j.; and was without food. At length( some fishermen found her, and conveyed her to the village, where she is now in good health. The captain of the vessel was a foreigner, and could swim but little, his wife saved herself by the assistance of an oar. The others disappeared from time, to time until all perished but the four." SPORT IN rum Wxwr•--Tbe Washington Arkifiusur, Telegraph says:—"A few days ago young man by the name of John Keller, about eighteen years of age, nvisi dent of this county, had an encounter with four . panthers at one lime. The difficulty occurred about eighteen miles west of this place,"near little river; and resulted in his killing three and putting the fourth tonight. The engagement was a very close one, as the gun was considerably disfigured by the marks of the panthers' teeth." .--511LTON. AIIMISYHD NEosto CABE. —The District Court of Connecticut a few months ago, de cided that the Armistad Negroes should be freed from the charges preferred against them by the owners of the vessel, and their purchasers. and that they should be sent back to Africa. This decision was appeal. ed from by the prosecution, and the case carried before the Supreme Court of the United States, which on Tuesday week last delivered its opinion as coinciding with the former decision except se to sending them back to Africa. They were discharged as freemen. The most eloquent counsel in the country were employed in this case. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS was one, and appear ed on behalf of the Captives. Here is an eloquent extract from his closing speech in their behalf: May it please your Honors: On the 7th of February, 1804, now more than 87 years ago, my name was recorded on the rolls of this Court, as one of its Attorneys and Coun sellors—that five years afterwards, I ap peared before this Court in an important cause. Since that time, I have never ap• peered before this Court until the present occasion. and now I stand before this Court again. It is this same Court, but not these same Judges. At that time these seats were filled by honored men, indeed, but not the same', They are all changed. Then there was Chief Justice Marshall, and Jud gee Cushing and Chase, and Washington and Johnson * and Livingston, and Wild.— Where are they? Where is that • able statesman and learned lawyer; who was my associate counsel in the cause, Robert Goodloe Harper? Were is the eloquent counsellor, so long the pride of Maryland und of the, American Bar, who was the opposing counsel, Luther Martin? Where is the excellent clerk of that day,' whose name ha.been inscribed on the shores of Africa, as a monument of his abhorrence of the African Slave Trade, Elias B. Cald• well? Where is the Marshall? Where are the criers of the Court? Where is one of the very Judges Liefore•whom I commen ced my argument in the present cause?— Gone—gone; all gone! Gone from the ser• vices which they rendered to their coon• try, to appear before a tribunal where they must answer for all the deeds done in the body. From the excellent characters which they sustained, so tar as I have the means of knowing, I fondly hope that they have gone to receive the rewards of eternal tiles. sadness. In taking, as 1 suppose, my final leave of this Bar and of this Honorable Court I can only ejaculate a fervent petition to I Heaven that every member of it may go to his final account with as little to answer for as these illustrious dead, and that you may every one receive the sentence -Well done, good and faithful servant., enter into the joy of our Lord.'

Monstoritsw.—The mormons have estab lished quite a city at Nauvoo, Illinois, and it appoars•that one of the municipal regula tions of the place is, that no whiskey is al lowed to be sold in less quantities than one gallon, and any other liquor in less than a quart, unless on the prescription of a physi. cian. The University of Nauvoo has been duly organized by the election of a chancel lor and trustees. James Kelly, A.

ANOTHER GREAT INVENTION. — .We learn from the New York Sun, that there is ex hibiting at the American Institute in the Park, a model of a ship, to be propelled by means of the air pump. On cksmall scale it works admirably, and it is not improba ble that it may yet be carried to such per. fection among the many experiments and inventions of the day, as to become greatly useful. AN INCIDENT ON LAKE Eiall.—Mack enzte in hip hie of Commodore Petry, while describing the battle of Lake Erie, and the horrible carnage on board the Law rence, relates the following incident. In the hottest of the fight, Yarnel, the Ist lieutenant came to Perry, Red told him that the officers in the first division under his command were all killed or disabled.— Yaml had received a wound in the fore head and another in the neck, from which the blood flowed profusely over his face and IIPLIM2bre 47,PUb dtlec) person, while his nose, which had been struck by a splinter, was swollen to a .most portentous size. Perry, after expressing some good humored astonishment at his tragi comical appearance, sent him the re quired aid; ; but soon after he returned with , the same c'-:mplaint of a destruction of Ins officers, to which he replied, "You must endeavor to make out by yourself; l have no more to furnish you." In addition to the other oddities of Yarnel's appearance, some of the hammockb were struck in the nettings, and the contents of the matrasses, chiefly stuffed with the down of flsg•tops, or cattails, weredistributed in the air, hay • ing much the appearance of falling snow. This substance, lighting on Yarnel's face, and attaching itself to the blood, gave it, as Dr. Parsons describes it. the appearance of a huge owl: When he went below at the close of the action, even the wounded were moved to merriment by his ludic/thus ap pearance, and one of them exclaimed, "Thu devel is come for his own."--Boston Jour.

He, as well as the captain, escaped by leaping from the riu ging of the sinking vessel with which the collision took place. REAZING.-A proper and judicious eye. torn of reading it of the highest importance. Two things aro necessary in perusing the mental labor of others; namely, not to read too much, and to pay great attention to what you do read. Many people peruse books for the express and avowed purpose of consum:ng time; and this ales of readers form by far the majority of what are termed the "reading public." Others again read with the laudable anxiety of being made wiser; and when this object is not attained the disppaintment may generally be aura,. uted either to the habit of reading to much or of-paying insufficient attention to what falls under their notice:—Blackiy's Logic. Fashion is a poor vocation. Its creed that idleness is a privilege, and work a die. grace, is among the deadliest errors. Without depth of thought, or earnestness of feeling, or strength . of purpose—living an unreal life, sacrificing substance to show, substituting the fictitious for the natnral, mistaking crowd for society, finding its chief pleasure in ridicule, and exhausting its ingenuity in expedients for killing time, fashion is the last infinence under which a human being who respecui herself or who comprehends the great end of life would desire to be placed. As the dew lies longer and produces more fertility in tho shade, so woman in the shade of retirement, sheds around her path richer and more permanent' blessings than men, who is more exposed to the glare and observations of public life.
