'Uhe Lost Child in the llresi.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Weekly Ga
zctte gives the following account of a hunt lhr
lost child in one of the thinly peopled neighbor
hoods of the West,:
About ten'ocloek in the morning, was
beard a loud shout at the gate—"llo ! Mr..
W.,14,0 !" "What's wanting ?"- "O'Lar
ry's 'boy is lost—little Johnny !" This
was enough to secure a father's aid ; and
on he rode to shout the same at every door
he passed.' Little Johnny, said I, and my
heart burst forth at the very sound. He
was a fair and lovely child, - Johnny, and
had a gentle affeetionate ;moiler, with an
ardent and sacrificing love vv luelr few Illoth

—hi; horses and hounds and rifle had more

but little Johnny nestled there ; indeed he
was a great pet with the neihgbors, and \VOII
more caresses and more symfmthy than
all the rest of the children together.
Such appeals are always sovereign ;
but few, perhaps have ever met with a more,
quick or general response—every body'
turned out—the news flew like lightning ;
and men and boys for ten miles around
came in to assist in the search, while wo
men and children were running to and fro,
and hailing every passer -by, to learn the
progress of the work. Never before, I

The invitation was accepted, and being
seated at the table, due attention was paid
to the first course, consisting of a pair of i
boiled fowls, a piece of pork, and a soft, I

deep concave of an earthen dish—around!

in any degree be considered as tendencies
of climate or of nurture.
They had 'incased themselves out of the
long blue striped homespun frock that,
when upon the road, had covered each
from neck to uncle, and having made free
use of the pump at which their cattle also
had been refreshed, came into the parlor
with their brows and cheeks still wet with
the vigorous ablution they had undergone.
They entered like proprietors ; and would
have had the same hearing if the Inn had
been the palace of the Caesars ; and yet
there was nothing in their manner either
rude or obtrusive. Calm, bard featured,
swarthy, athletic men, "they reminded me
as I rose to accost them," said my Uncle
the Parson, "of Ajax the Less, and Ajax
Telamon."

an,
now he breathes again.
The search was continued till midnight,
when a part thought it best to relieve their
horses, and wait for daylight to begin a
fresh. But the father, with three of his
hunting friends, who had resolved not to
cat or sleep till they had found the boy,
still kept on—sometimes riding, and sonic
times walking—calling and shouting, if
for no other purpose than to-keep the
wolves at bay. At length they stationed
themselves within hearing distance of each
other, and sat down to protect the child, or
rush to his rescue, in case they should hear
him attacked, to watch until the morning.
At early - .dawn, abiintQlfty new horse
men arrived, and the search commenced
anew. The , field was examined for the
track, which was pursued with some doubt
as he - had been there three successive (lays.
On tracing the path which led towards the
‘viilf woods, the imprints of Johnny's lit
tle feet were again discovered, as he ap
pnared to be running, and the mark of his
bag dragged along by his side. Here the
father's anguish gushed anew, as thefears
of the preceding night were justified and
corroborated. They now agreed to take
' a station of about fifteen rods abreast, go
up one side of the branch and down the
other, till the whole surface of the exten
sive area farther 'than he could possibly
have travelled, had been explored. They
had completed one side and were returning,
when the signal was given—Johnny was
found! The noisy shouting, and repeated
peals of the hunters' winding horns, soon
grouped the solemn cavalcade.
But O'Larry, though foremost in the
hunt, fell back at the first note of the sum
moning horn, nor did lie speak a word, or
seareoly breathed, till lie snatched his own
true Johnny from the arms of his delighted
bearer, and pressed him with a frantic fond
ness to his now bursting heart. The dear
boy was found about two miles from home,
in a thicket of hazel, picking filberts with
his lingo(' corn still on his arm. Ile look

where he was going, said lie was going
home, but it was so j'ar. He said he

he ran till lie was very tired, and then he
laid
.his head down on his bag, and cried--
that while lie was crying lie saw 'a big ear
riage go by with candles in it, (the 'thunder
and lightning;) and then it grew very dark,

And now for the second course :
I have endeavored, gentle reader, by this
not i mtierti nent, indulgence of my thoughts,
to give time to the good people of the
sanded parlor, to accomplish without inter
ruption all that they had to do with the first
dish at the hospitalago of Ipswieh ; and
behold you now the advantage of your kind
and patient listening ! I fere are fresh hot
plates, fresh knives and forks, the same
noiseless attendance of the lithe and beau
tiful. Rebecca, and a faultless haunch of
wcther mutton, that lies, glowing and
blushing at the sound .of the praises that
are bestowed4won it ; swelling out: its fair
proportions Loa circumference full one third
greater than it was when the ardent beanis
of the hickory lire first glanced upon its al
most colorless surface, and of whose
-warn - I'th and constancy- it nod brings us
a remembrance of such a lively 'pink and
brown.
Aly Uncle, accustomed as,he was to ex
cellent specimens of whaLhas been called
Parson's meal, paused for a moment to re-
ganhit with the complacency. it _seemed to
challenge, before the gravy welled out from
its first incision. 'Froth the knuckel bone •
to the last joint of the queue, from ,the
Pope's Eye to Queen Elizabeth's bone,
tacit preferable and available slice to be cut
transversely or venison wise, each tendon,
layer of fat, and intricacy of sweetness,
was as apparent to his unpractised eve, as
if marked.dut before him upon a diagram.
He availed himself of his knowledge for the
benefit of his companions at once while the
mutton was hot, as coukteously as if they
had been his home guests, and-listened to
their repeated praise as if the fare had been
furnished from a Clock of his own. But at
his own second slice he sent Jim to the!
ocket of the chaise Ibr a bottle of Worces

enough for so raw a day, produced -a small

filled with Cayenne pepper that he used as
a reinforcement.
The two farmers were attentive to all
his movements.. The add; tion of the sauce,
when there was such a full supply of gra
vy of the dish, seemed to them to be a mere
superfluity ; hut the. exploring genius of
Ajax:Telamon.was irresistibly excited by
the pepper, a condiment drat was altogeth
er 10.tw to him ; and perceiving that the ef
fect Was;',lilleful and appertizing,
sir," said he, ''would von have the good
ness to let me taste a little of your red SALT 1"
"With pleasure," replied the Parson ;
"but I must apprise you that it is pepper
and not salt; pepper of the strongest force,
that 11, received hOlll a friend in the tropics,
and"- said he, handing it to him, "a very
few grains go a great way."
&half derisive glance at the size of my.
Uncle and then at his own portly figure
-seemed to-intimate that he - thought thucau.: -
tion very little worthy of notice by ,a man
of his cuhieular inches. lie rapped the
bottle on the side as lie had seen the par
son, to loosen tho grains of this fiery stim
ulate, applied, it in the same way hut with
out the same caution to his gravy, and
used it freely with his meat.
The pepper was not long in making his
acquaintance, but he resisted manffilly the
first intimations of this Morita' assailant;
hemmed stoutly and repeatedly, as if he
were determined to maintain his ground ;
his face then became
,scarlet ; an unnatu
ral warmth look Jipssession of his frame;
the tonsils of his throat lie - an to swell ;m
his eyes glistened, he dashed away a tear
from his obstructed sight, spread abroad
his arms like Sampson groping for the re
maining pillars of the Temple of Gaza, and
rose in an- agony of distress and pain un
imaginable to him in his dreams before.—
His first note was that of the great brindled
bull in his own cattle yard tit home. The
word ROAR does no justice whatever to the
sound..

coolness, but it smokes consumedly Hiram;

Another jar of water seemed to reassure
hint of his safety against his internal com
bustion ; and his powers ofspecch in some
measure returning, and with them-his en
tire sell-possession, lie strode in front of
my Uncle and accosted hint : "Do you
know, Mister, that I took you fur a Par

"0 you be, be you ? And do you think
it is any how consistent with your calling
to travel about the country in this here

Befcre the war, says the Nautical Mag
azine, Capt. Garden and the Macedonian
'were at Norfolk ; Decatur was there too
Mid a warm intimacy soon joined in friend
ship two kindred hearts. While discuss
ing naval affairs one day, Garden said :
"Decatur, your ships are good enough,
and you are a. clever set of fellows; but
what practice have you in wars ? There's
the rub. One of these days we wll prob
ably have a brush together, and if I catch
your ship at sea, I will knock her into a
cocked hat, Stephen."
"Will you!" said Decatur; “I will bet
you a hart on it.".
The bet was agreed on, and the conver
sation changed. But a few months elapsed
ert the war that had been threatening, com
menced, and the two captains, 'by some
singular coincidence, met. The results of
the action are known. Captain Carden,
on going on board the United States, was
received by a Lieutenant at the gangway t
to whom he tendered his sword.
"Not to inc . :Air," said the officer, "but
to the Captain."
"And where is the Captain?" said the
embarrassqd Englishman.
"lie is standing aft, there ; that is the
gentleman, sir, in a tarpaulin hat and round
jacket."
Carden went aft—and his feelings on
meeting, under such circumstances, his
old friend, maw be imagined. As he of
fered his sword to Decatur, the officer said:
"No Carden, I never take the - sword of
a brave man—you have fought gallantly.
qut" said he, laying his hands on the oth
er's shoulder, "I. will lake that hat, my
dear fellow."
In transferring- to the United States the
suite of Capt. Carden, a tine band was in
cluded. In the afiernoon, when dinner
was announced in the cabin, Capt. Car
den said to Decatur:—
“Those musicians are very skillful, and
I have always had them on 'deck while at
(linnet.” •
"Very well, said Decatur, "we will have
them up." ' .
The band was ordered on deck to play,
and Com. Decatur . was asked what .air lie
would like to' hear.
I.e,t them play Brittanula Rides thb
Wave," said hwwith -a sly laugh.
NA VAL AN ECDOTE
A TEA-PARTY INCIDENT.
Standing one evening at the table of a
fashionable tea-party, got up in aid of some
charitable institution in our city, I was
gradually pushed along by the fair guests
and their beaux, until I found Myself op
posite, not only a magnificent cake, hut a
most bewitching pair of eyes. I looked a
, cross the cake, and the owner of these orbs
shut at me a flash which I, in my widest
admiration, was forced to dodge. The
signal was given and the company attack
'ed the good things with vigor, but as for
Imyself, the bright-eyed beauty" opposite
was food enough for me, and I commenced
familiarizing my- own peepers to the glan
ces of hers. She at first laughed, then
pouted, and at length looked angry. I drew
off my survillance and , she looked pleased.
A gentleman of my acquaintance having ad
dressed her familiarly, I . seized on him
and requested an introdnetion : lie granted
it, and I bowed in lowly homage to the
beauty. The gentleman with her, resign
ed the beauty to my care while he searched
for her , sister, that they miglit leave togeth
er, and I was left alone to promenade in
company with the bright eyes and the ow
ner.
"Allow• me to carry your mufr," saidl
most persuasively ; "this room is so warm
it must be an ineumbrance.7 •
"No, no said she, in evident alarm,
and biting her 'pretty lip at same time.
"Why," thinks I, "site cannot suspect
that I wish-to. Btel it," and- resolved to
Convince her orniy-IfoneStY, I reaelied for
the mull' and insisted , upon carrying it. I
had hold of one cud and she the other, to
which she held most tightly; but my gal
lantry triumphed, and pulling it from her,.
out dropped a slice of pound - cake, four
dough nuts, two jumbles, and an orange! I
need not say I was horrified at the effect
of my gallant efibrt. I picked part of them
up, hurriedly, and handed them and the
muff to her. The perspiration was roll
ing down myface in a stream, and pntting
my hand into my coat pocket, I pulled out
my linen cambric handkerchief, when out
of its white folds dropped half a chicken!
In my fit of abstraction at the table,- some
wag had carefully rolled it up in my hand
kerchief, and placed it in my pocket:—
the cause of my fair partner's confusion at
the table was-produced by thinking I had
seen her MUFF the pound cake. She laugh
ed heartily at my chicken, and we, mutu
ally agreed to keep quiet about extra pick

Re-instatement of the Peel Ministry.—
The Whigs have - utterly failed to forma
Cabinet, and Sir Robert Peel and. his col
leagues, with tisro exceptions, are reinsta
ted. The Whigs, in their failure to carry
on the government, received very little.
sympathy from the British .public, while
the return of the Peel administration.has
been the cause elan immediate reaction in
aill the branches of business. .The money
market at once became easier, stocks rose,
and a general feeling of confidence was
given by all classes. '.The Whig Cabinet

Ministry over again, and its successful
re-organization was only prevented by
the obstinacy of the Lord Grey, who
refused to join it. Lord Palmerston was
made Secretary of Foreign At airs. 4 Wil
mer and Smith remarks :
"That the blow was unlooked for in the
quarter from which it proceeded, seems un
deniable; but that a cause, in itself appa
rently so trifling, sbould have broken up a
Cabinet, and produced results so momen
tous, • shows clearly enough that the em
bryo ministers had ~not their hearts in the
work. They must have deeply felt the
responsibility, he perilousness, nay, the
utter hopelessness of the task, when the
opinion of a single Member was sufficient
to snuff the experiment out of existence.,
Lord John Russell was held to be a bold
man when he accepted office in the face of
a hostile majority in both houses of Pa ia
ment ; but, having consented to do so, so
inglorious a termination savors of the weak
and ridiculous.
When Lord John Russell threw up his
card there was no alternative but to send
for Peel, and the most extraordinary move
in - this drama of Cabinet making is, that he
felt as little apparent hesitation in resuming
his old office, as he evinced promptness
in throwing it up. His resumption imme
diately made itself felt in,every branch of
trade. Confidence wliA had been sliaU•
tered by the railway panic, became para
lyzed when it was known that Peel was
out; the markets fell, the fundS sunk, bn-
siness was suspended, and a gloom, a mist,
hung over the commercial and trading
world. , These evils are fast subsiding with
the causes which called them into exist-
' Upwards of ten days have elapsed since
it became known that Peel was again I're
tnier, and every day has shown improved
symtoms in the produce, share, money and
other markets. This change appears the
more extraordinary from the filet that his
future policy is as nitwit a matter of slice
illation as the new comet—even more - un-
defined, ,undeveloped. Nobody knows
what Peel will do, but every one has con
fidence in Peel—a singular proof of the
hold which one powerful mind has over
the sympathies and prospects of millions
of people.
,The London, Examiner witti-
ly observes . , in reference to the prevailing
feeling, "The benV of the present june
ture is, that nobody knows what Sir Rob
ert Peet is going to do, and yet every body
is satisfied that he is the man to do nobody
knows what."
