The Cotistitution and the Guer-. 'dere. - - ,The Gfieriere was lying to. The. Con-, stitution :was bearing ,down the enemy under nee topsails—every man was at his respectivq station and till on board were eager : for; the contest—when, the Guer riere cotxrtileuced-at long ilhot. COUJlDO dore.Huit gave a peremptory order to his officers not to apply a single watch until he gave the • word. In a few minutes a forty-two , pounder from the Guerriere took effect, and killed and wounded some of our brave tars. Lieutenant Morris im mediately left his station on the gun deck to report the same to the commodore, and request permission to return fire, as the men were very anxious to engage the enemy. "Mr. Morris," was the commodore's re fly, '!are you ready for actioniii the gun deeli:?;" "Yes sir." "Well,, so, but don't. let a gun be fired till I hive the word?' In a feW minutes, Mr. Morris again appeared, and stated that he could• with difficulty restrain the men from giving the enemy a btioad side, so anxious were they to commence the edgagement. "Mr. M4ris," reiterated the Commo dore, still gazibk intently on the British frigate, "are you ready for action -on the gun deck 'l!' • "Yes, Sir; and it is impossible for me env lono.erl'to reStrain.the men from Ellin. , " . on the foe: Their passions are wrought' no to the !highest possible pitch of ex citement. Some. of our bravest seamen are already killed and wounded." "Ittep cool, Mr. Morris, keep cool. See all prepared, and do . not.suffer a gun to be fired ;till I giie.the word." The gallant Lieutenant went below. In a few OnuteS the vessels soared each other to 1011441 Pistol-shot distance, and MurriSzas scut for on the quarter deck. "Are you ready for action, Mr. Mor ris ?" again demanded the Commodore. "We are all ready, sir; and ,the men arc uttering horrid imprecations, becauee they are not sneered to return the fire of the enemy." "Fire, then, id God,s, name !" shouted the Commodore fa a voice of thunder. It is added that he ;wore at the time a pair of nankeen !ight; and be•accinpanied this Wool cheering order with so tretoeu &bias a stanip irq the deck with his right foot, that Hie Unfortunate pantaloons, wele split open from the knee tv the; waistband. The conduct ofillacres, before and after 4 the action. Was such as m' lit have been expected fret', a brave an . i enerous ene my./ Mr. Reed, a young man- belonging to Brewster, Massachusetts, at present a respectable shipmaster out of Boston, had been pressed on board the Guerriere a few weeks previous to the engagement. Several other American seamen were also on board.:,When the Constitution was bearing doin in such gallant style, and it became evident that a severe action with the Ainerican frigate was inevitable, young Reed left his station and proceeded to the quarter deck, and respectfully but firmly represented to Captain Dacres that be- was au lAineticau born citizen who had been unjustly detained .on board a Mash frigate; that he had hitherto faithfully performed the duties assigaed him; and that it could not reasonably — be expected he would fight against his cooly trymen ; We therefore begged leave to de cline the honor of participating in the engagetneu t. The English. Captain frankly told him 'that he . 4preciated his patriotic feelings —that he did not wish Americans on board to usniarins against their country man ; and he subsequently ordered them all into thelleockpit to reader assistan ce , if necessary,! fo the surgeon.; Reed left the spar deck tft er the Guerriere bad completed. preparation: Several shots were known I to have taken effect, but the Constitution;' had not yet fired a gun— men to the 'amusement of the British tars, who predicted the. surrender of the enemy witheut resistance, with the excep caption of veteran man-of-war's wan, who was in ;the . battle of the Nile, acd' gruffly obseived with .a significant shake, of the liead-4—iitbat Yankee knows what he's - abbot."'

British navy, lay on the water, an unsightly. unmanageable mass; when he, had no longer the :stump of a mast left &ma which to display the proud ensign of. his country, the Tenant Briton began to think he had got into an ugly serape from which he could not possibly extricate himself. Ile could no longer oppose a feehle resistance „to him wort. formidable foe., Captain Hull sent an officer to take -possession of the Guerriere. When he arrived alongside,' he demanded, of the commander. of the English ftigate if he had „struck. Dacres was extremely reluctant to wake this concession in plain terms, but with a shrewdness that would have done honor to a Yankee, endeavored to, evade' the qmistioa. "I do .not know thatit would be pru•' dent to :continue the engagement any longer,".: said he. . I understand you to say that you have struck ?" inquired . the .American lieutenant. "Not precisely," returned Dacres, —but' I do not know .that it would be worth while to fight.aoy longcr." "If you think it advisable, I will re turn aboard." replied the Yankee, "and resume the eugageinedt.". "Why, Paw pretty much hors du com: bat already," said Dacres; "I have hardy men enough to work a gun,. and •my ship is in a sinking condition." "I wish to know, Sir," peremptorily demanded the American officer, "whether I am to consider you a prisoneviof war or an open enemy ? I have no timefor fur ther parley " "I believe there is now no alternative. If I could fight longer, I would will' pleasure—but—l—must—surrender my self a prisoner of war." , Deacon N. was an honest old codger, a kind neighbor, and a good christtart, be tiering in the Presbyterian creed to the !fullest extent; but lackaday ! the deacon would ger exceedingly "inellOw," and al most every Sunday., at dinner, he would ii du!<ge,in his favorite cider brandy to such an extent that tt was with difficulty that he reached his pew in the broad aisle near the pulpit. and between the inimeter's and the village Squitc's One Sunday morning the minister told his thick that he would preach a sermon touching many g . arinc. sins so coos . pion ous anamg them, and he hoped they would listen attentively and not flinch it he hap• petted to be too severe. The afternoon came, and the house was full ; everybody turned out to hear their neighbors "dress. ed down" by the minister, who af.er well opening his sertnon,:commenced upon the transgressors with a loud voice. with the question, "where, is the drunkard t l A solemn pause succeeded the inquiry, when up rose Deacon N.. his face red from the frequent draughts of his favor ite drink, - and steadying himself as well as he could by the pew rail, looked up to the parson _and in trtrombling.and piping voice said, "Her e I aoo Of course a eohsternation in the con gregation was the , result of.the holiest deacon's respon4; however The parson went on with his remarks as he had writ ten them, commenting . severely upon the drunkard, and closed by warning them to forsake at once their evil, habits, if they would flee from the wrath to come. Then the Deacon wade a bow and seated himself. "And now," asked the preaoher in his loudest tones, "where is tile hypocrite?" A , cause but responded. ryes were turned upon this and inat man, but th.b most glances :leemed directed to the Squire's pew, and indeed the parson seemed to squint hard in that, direction. The deacon saw where the shaft was aimed, or Where it should be aimed, and rising ones more;h&leaned over his pew to' the Squire, whom he tapped on the shoulder ; and thus • addressed. him : "Come; Squire, why don't you stand up? I did when the tuiniter called on me." A northern English rector used to think it not polite to begin service-before the arrival of the'squire.. A little' while ago :he forgot his rnatiners, , lnd began. "When the wicked wan--" fiStop, Sir !" called oatthe clerk, ",116 . ain7t_come yet."

An Honest Dacons Making'Fan of People.= Ouse when traveling on a stagecoach, says a. writer in a contemporary, .I met with a younir e‘ lady who seemed to be upon chi constant lookout for something laugh able. Every old barn was wade the sub-: ject of a passing joke, While the cOwirpod sheep, looked demurely at us, little, dream mg that folks could be merry at, their. expense. ,;,;,- All this was; perhaps, harmlessemingh. Animals were not atinsiti've in that re spect. They aro not likely to have, their feelings injured because people make fun' of them; but when we come- to human beings, that is "quite another, thipg., So it seemed to me; for, after a while, an aged woman came running across the fields, lifting up her hand .to the Coach man, and in a shrill voice begging , him to stop. The good natund coachman drew up his horses, and the old lady, coining to the fence by the road side, squeezed herself ihrough between two pasts which were very near,together. The young lady id the stagecoach made some ludicrous remark, and the passen, gels laughed. It sdetued very excusable,, for, in getting thionigh the fence,ithe poor woman made sad work with her old black bonnet, and now taking a seat beside well dressed lady, really looked as is she had been blown there by a whirlwind. This was a new piece of fun.;and the girl made the most of it. She caries:. Lured the old lady upon a card, pieteoded to take a pattern of her bonnet, and in various other ways sought to raise a laugh at het. At length the poor woman turn - dm pale face towards her and said : "My dear girl, you are now young and healthy, and happy. I have been so too,, but 'that time is past. I ail, now old and forlorn. The coach is taking me to the death-bed of my only child And then, my dear, I shall be a poor old woman, alone in the world where merry girls will think me a very amusing object., They will laugh at my old fashioned clothes and sad appearance, forgetting that the, old woman has loved and suffered, and will live forever." .The coach now stopped before a poor looking house, and the old lady, feebly descended the stops. "How is she?" was the first trembling inquiry of the mother. "Just alive," said the man who was leading her into the house. • The driver mounted his box; -and we were' upon the road again. Our ! merry young friend- had placed the card:in her pocket. She was leaning her head upon her hand ; and you way be sure that I was not sorry to see a tear upon her fairyoung cheek It was a good lesson,' and one which we greatly hoped would do her good. ROMANCES OF THE NEEDLE.i—The Christian Intelligence,. thus .discourses .about the exploits of the needle. What a wonderful thing is this Mattel of sewing'! It bee-an in Paradise, and was the earliest fruit of the fall. Attiid the odors of flowers, and by the side meandering streams and under theishade of the dark green foliage, the cowering' thrills of the guilty progenitors of our race' bowed in angitiSh and' shame, as they took their first lessons iu the art Which, haS, ever since been the mark .of.! servitude or sorrow. And yet the,cursej has not been without its blessing. 1 The needle with the thimble has done' more for man than the needle of the eompass.. The needle work of the Tab• ernacle•is the most ancient record of the art. Early. used to adorn the vestments of the priests, it was honored by God himself, and became a' type of beauty and holiness.
