'vlth the intelligence 'that the ,British
frigate was coming from (Justine to take
Ifni.' Tucker knew that the..,British
feared him, and also that Sir Jelin Shore

his capture. .'
When the Commodore 'received the

meet the frigate., , •
The sehoeuer'skeel was just cleared
from the mud, and one of the Men had
been Sent . Upon the whaf,to cast off the
bowlinei : When nWitgOn drawn .by one
horse came rattling down the spot.
The. driver, a - rough looking -country
man, got out upon the wham, and then
assisted a middle aged Woman from the
vehicle. ' The, lady's, first 'inquiry was
for pommodoraTucker. - Be was point
ed out to - her, as- ho' stepped upon the
schooner's decki arid approached him.
" - COmModore," she, asked, "when do ,
you sail from here?"
" We sail right off, as soon as possible,
madam." - . ,
.
." then, : I know you will be kind
to me," the lady urged, in peri3urisiye
terms. My poor husband died- yester-,
day, and - I wish to carry his, corpse. to
Wiseaoet, where we belong, and where
his parents will take care ofjt."
" But, my good woman, , l shan/t go
to Wiscasset.".
.
'lf you will only land me at the
mouth of the Bheepscot, I can ask no
snore 4- I can easily find a boat there to
take mo up.'
` Where is the body 2' asked the ____.Com
modore. -- ..,_ . .
` In the Wagon' returned the lady, at
the same time raising the corner or her,
shawl to, wipe away the gathering, tears
have a suns of money with me, and
you shall he paid for the trouble.'
'Tut, tilt, woman; if I'accommodate
you l there won't be any pay .about it.'
The ;kind hearted old, Commodore
was,not the man to refuse a favor, , and
though he liked not We !bother of taking
the woraau mud her,strange accompan
iment:on board, yet hec,ould not refuse.
Wilen.lie told her he would do' as she
requested, she thanked him with many
tears ip hereyes. - ,
Sothe of the men were sent upon, the
wharStohrlng the body on-hoard. A

shcaild,he allOwed i a-prejudice .once , ht
a while, when Wet consider; the:many
stern realities they have to encounter.
'Hush, my good men,' said the Com
mcidOre, as he heard their murmured
remonstrance:, 'Suppose you Were to
die away; from home—would, you :not
wish that Your last remains might be
carried to yo,ur parents? Come, hurry
now.', . ; ,
The. m'ea said.no more, and ere long
the coffin 'was placed in the hold, and
the woman was , shown to the cabin:
In lesalliari.half an hour the, schOoner
was Cleared from the'wharf, and stand
lug out from - the - bay. The wind was
light- from. the east Ward; but Tucker
had no fear of the frigate now that lie
was once out of the bay.
In th..? ; evening,
.the lady passenger
came on deck, and the Commodore as
sured her that htishould be able'to land
here early on the next morning.' She
expressed her gratitude and satisfaction
and remarked that 'before she retired,
she should like to,look, and see-that her
husband's corpse was safe. This was of
course granted; and one of them 'lifted
.off the hatch that she might go down
into the hold. ..
I declared,' muttered Daniel Carter,
an old sailor, who was standing at the
wheel, 'pho,taltes drelfullyi ,
Yes, poor thing I' said. Tucker; as he
heard her' sobs and groans.
D'ye notice. what'll eye she's got?
continued Carter. • ,
saidlocker, "only t'wus swot

'My eyes! Wit they shene, through,
when she stood.

•
Tucker smiled . at the man's - . quaint
earnestness,;aud without further remark
he went down into the cabin.
When the woman came up from the
hold, she looked about the deck of the
schooner for a few moments, and then.
;Neut. aft. There was something in her
countenance that puzzled Carter. He
lie had been one of those who objected
to th6:coffin's being, brought on board
and hence he was not predisposed to
look very favorably upon his , owner.
The woman's eye run over the schoon
er's deck with a strange quickness, and
Carter 'eyed her verysbarply. Soon she
went to the taffrail and looked over at
the stern boat, and.tr en she came and
stood by the binnaell,e again.
A Look out, or you'iq gibe the boom,'
uttered the passenger;
Carter, started, and found that the
main sall:was shivering. He gave the
helm a couple of spokes aport, and then'
cast his eye• again upon' the woman,
whose features•were lighted by the bin . -
'lack lamp. , • •; • , --•
Thank!e ma'am,' said Dan. 'Ha;
hold on—why, bless my soul, there's a
big spider right on'your hair.. No---not
there. •Herez—l'll—Ugh I'
This last ejaculation Dan Made as ho
seernimi , to pull something from - the
woman's hair, , which he threw upon
deck with the 'ugh 1! above mentiOnedi
Shortly. after the passenger went be•
low,' and-erelong Tucker. cameon.deck - ,. ,
Commodore,' said Carter, with-a re•
markable degree of earnestuese in his
manlier, ',is the 'omen turned in? ~
I rather think so,' said Tucker look
at the compass. 'Look.' out; , look out,
Carter! :Why, man 'alive, you're two
points to the southward of your course.'
'Blow one, so I am, bringing the helm

The - . COmmodore pronounced th e

most - emphre manner.'

The Commodore. was thunder4ruek
aewhatthe had heard, but, with that
calml3resence'of mind that made - him,'
xvhat:herwaS; helsat coolly tefr thinking.
Inn few,minutes heealled.-,puef of. the
Men aft to - relieve" Carter. and then he
*eat doWn tizi look' after' his' passenger.
The-lattor.had turned in; and seemed to
sleeping. Tucker returned and took
Carter quo side.
'No noistino*; Carter ; follow me• as
though nothing had happened.' "
'Saran.' , • -
The two approached the main batch,
and stopped
,to raise it, when Dan's
hand touched a small ball that seemed
to have been pinned up under the after
break of the hatch.
"It'fi a ball - of twine,' said he.
'Don't touch it, but run and get a
an tern,'. replied Tucker.
Carter sprang to obey , and when he
•eturned a number of the men had
athered about the spOt. The hatch
VtlB raised, and the Commodore' care
ally picked. up the ball of .twine, and
ound that it was made fast tosemething
eloW. He descended to the\beld; and
heM found that the twine ran beneath
he lid of the coffin. He had no doubt
n his mind now, that -there was mis
chief boxed up below, and ho sent Car
ter for something that might answer for
a screw drive. The man soon returned
With a stout knife, and the . Comthodore
set to Work. He worked very carefully,
however, at the same time keeping a
bright :lookout for the string.
• At length the screws were out, and
the nil very carefully lifted from Its
phice.-t
I i)
' Greta God in hen en 1' burst from
the lips of the Commo ore.
'By Sam Hyde 1' dr: edlikea thun
der clap from the tongue of young Dan.
' God bless you, Dan !' said the Com
modore.
' I know'd it!' muttered Dan.
The two men stood fora moment and
gazed into the coffin. There was no
dead man there, but in place thereof,•
here was materials for the death of a
core. The coffin was filled with gun
I owder and pitehwood i , Upon a light
erne work in the centre were arranged
r pistols,_eocked, and the , string en
tring the coffin from without, commu
i icated with the trigger of each.
i f )
The first movement of the Commo
ore was to call for water, and when it
was brought, ho dashed three or four
buckets full into "the infernal contri
vance, acid .then ho 'breathed more
freely. . •
No, no,' he uttered, ,as he leaped
from the hold. 'No, no—insw men do
nothing - rashly. Let me go into the
cabin first. You may follow me:' •
- Commodore Tucker' strode into the
cabin, walked up to the bunk where.
the passenget lay and grasping hold of
th;O female dress,-'he dragged its wearer
od t upon. the floor. There was a. sharp
resistance, and, the passenger drew a
pike!, but it was quickly knocked away
— l aw gown was torn' off; and a man
m i me forth from the remnants of calico
at d linen. • .. - • •,. •
... The fellow was assured thathis whole
-p et tiadbeen discovered; and at length
b owned ;that it had been his 'Plan to
I,_ 'll Cut in-tlm.eourse of,the night, and
g t hold of.tlie ballot' twine, which •he
1.1
h. d left in a - convenient place; ho then
i tended to have nonb aft, carefully un-
Wilding the string as he went - along;
tl en to have got into the boat, out the
ft lls,'and as the boat touched the water
la would have pulled Smartly upon the
t , ine:,. • .
' Audi think : you know,' ho contin
.o d with r a wicked look, 'what. would
h ye followed. I shouldn't have been
noticed in the fuss—l'd have got out Of
tl 6 way with the boat, and you'd all
-11) ye been in the next world in short
o der; and'all I can' say is, that I'm
s try I didn't do it.'.
i .ft was with much difficulty that the
Commodore prevented his men from
killing the' villein on the spot. He
proved to be one of the enemy's officers;
and be was to have a heavy reward if
he succeeded in destroying the Commo
dore a d his crew.
The prisoner was carried on deck and
lashe to the main rigging, where he
was to ato remain until the vessel got
in po .
• NV at a horrible death that villain
Meant for us,' uttered Carter.
' He belongs to the same gang that's
been a robbin' and burnin' the poor
folk'S houses on the stern coast,' said
one OP MO men.
• l'. Yes? Said the' 'Commodore, with a
- nervous twitch of the muscles about the
mouth. -
A:bitter curse from the .prisoner now
broke an the air, and with a clenched
fist the Commodore went below.
In the morning, when Tucker came
on' ecic u Seguin was in sight upon the
.starboard bow, but when he looked for
the prisoner he was gone.
`Carter, where's the villain I lashed
here night ?'
I'm sure I don't know where he is,
Commodore. .Perhaps he's . 'jumped
overboard." :
The old Commodore looked sternly
in Carter's eyeS, and he saw a twinkle
of satisfaction gleaming there. He hes-
Rated a moment—then ho turned away,
and muttered to himself:
Well, well — l' can't blame them!
If the murderousvillain'sgone to death,
hers only met a fate which he richly
deserved. Better far be it forhim, than
that my noble crew were now all in

studied the theories copied ,in the last
number? and if those are fully digested
they may be able 'to eemprehend 'the
following theory of Dr. Hickok an
eminent philosopher late President of
,Union Cpliege,. which 1 8141 in his .13a- •
tinnal Comolbgy, a, very profound Work.
I make no comment'Pn this theory, ai

Prorrs.---The attained s eenception. ; of the
'uniletsal sphere' in its generated and
accumulating etheilat'inatter 'anti--the:
perpetual working,of the eentral,antag
,onist and diferative detivipieNesnatant-.
lymaking new chemical ' compositions
and thus also neVir substances:in - nature
and moving the, p,richaive matter into
new forces, must ive the occasion for
much further 'tracing the immutable.
principles to necessary determinations
and without forecasting what we may
find we will pass'on and . see what the
clear insight shall disclose.
The' circuits of the two primal forces,.
as they interwork on and with each
other, need to be kept distinctly in the
apprehension. The antagonist agency
goes backin the line 'of the axis to the
poles and holds itself -in statics equilib
ration there until the equatoriatring is
elevated transverse to the axis, and um.
til the forces!in - this ring have crowded
their simple activities back on each
• side upon themselves up to the poles
and balanced the whole movement -a
Another crowding back of the polar
points and lengthening of the axis then
occurs, to hold itself again in Static rest
until the same process is repeated in
another equatorial ring, and another
hemispherical layer on each side of
the poles. Thus perpel,ually with the
circuit of the antagonist force. The di
reihtive activity starting from the same
limit id the central force, takes the
same circuit by a directly converse
movement, going out each way limn
the central limit, the . diremtive activi
ties encounter these antagonist agen
cies, and thus pushing, all back upon
the polar, points, they loosen, the cen
tral tension, and In this the occasion is
given for the direnative action to turn
its divellency transverse to its first di
rection and thereby press out and fill
in the interval between the first antag
onist spherical layer and the central
molecule. The direnative agency thus
balanced must thence again push back
upon the next outer polar points in the
axis, to be thence turned again -trans
verse to its former direction, and loosen
and fill in between the first and second
spherical antagonist layer, and thus on
alternately prolate and oblate until eve
ry spherical layer is loosened by the in-.
terposing diremtivo force.
"This direcntive action ultimately
disparts the ' layers and also the male
cubes in the layers and 'dissolves the
whole mass into'afluid and molten static.
The two agencies , thus hlance each
other and the diremtion iII
held still,
while the antagonism is jus parted and
the fluid ether rests quiet."
For the benefit of- my readers I could
wish to quote further; the limits of a
newspaper article however will not per
mit; but as the learned Doctor has got
"the wh - Ole mass Into a fluid
,and mol
ten state,'-? ; the reader can finish the
World on some of the theories in, the
last number, or if,he prefers he can bar- .
row the - Rational - Cosmology 'of - the
writer of these articles, or of theeditor
of the Agitator, either of wheat, would
he glad to accomniodfite, and' finish' e
world - at his leisure. after the Doctor-4i
plan. ' • . - 1,.
Now I propose to advance. ,a theory
different from any of the above, or from
any heretofore openly and boldly pro
mised. Ido it with a good deal of diffi
dence, because I am aware that the prej
udices and pride of man, and the long,
established doctrines of theoretical sci
ence will revolt against it; and it will
be treled with ridicule by the unthink
ing, at d by those who constitutionally
fl i
take w thout enquiry long established
theorykis truth. But, thank God, "the
days of the doctors of Salamanca, who
deemed it a crime to hold.with Colum
bus that the world was round and not
flat, aid of Francis Tursetine and oth
er worthies who deemed it blasphemy
to hold with Newton and.Gallileo, that
it is the earth that moves in the hea
vens, and the sun which stands still,"
are passed and have been succeeded by
an era of free inquiry.
This theory I think I can establish by
facts undisputed, and by reasoning that
cannot be overturned ; for I .rely .on
facts that must be, and are well known
to all ivho havestudied the constitution
of the earth, and facts, too, admitted by
all geologists on analogies that, must be - ,
apparent to 'every thinking man, on de
ductions that no one can gainsayond
on reasoning that can be found in near
ly all our geological works. : • • - .
1-The earth is a living organization.---
The internal parts of the.earth do not
consist of an assemblage of chaotic ele
ments, but are arranged with• as much
wisdom as the parts of the external uni
verse; and the earth itself is .the vast
laboratory in which was prepared teener-
ding to definite laws, analogous to the 1
laws of animal and vegetable life, all the
mineral substances found upon its sur-,
face, and in which aro now preparing
the elements of all, future changes. -
2-The earth has bad its infancy, its
childhood, its youth, its manhood, and
will have its old age and its final death
and dissolution: for that law which is
"written on all things material," the
law of change and death, is th ilaw of
the earth. .
Let me - premise that this the ry does
not militate against the doctr eof a
divine authorship of the earth anymore
than the birth, Watley, childhood
manhood, old age, and death of animal'
and vegetable lifetmilitate against the
divine authorship of animal and veget
able life, the world's Redeemer. , .
Let me premise still further that I do
not-believe in a coldand selfish GO:kt en-,
shrined alone in the center of all space,',
looking upon all the creatures and' tib-'
jects he .has made as • only. elements of
His greatnesS and glory Made solely to
display that greatneo and glory, but in
a God of love and benevolence, ever
present, who looks .upon the happiness
of his creatures . , and especially the liap
piney of man whom he has made intel
lectually in his ..own image; and after'
His own likeness, as His greatest glory,
and that happiness as the greatestgood.-
And further, that on this earth, tho'
man is but a parasitical being, yet the.
life of the earth •is but- a means ' , ,,0f de
velopement, and that as from thei low
est primary orders up through the va
rious types to -man,. there has been a
graduated improvement as the types as
cended. in geological order, Bother() may
yet be a higher type from man up—a
type, whether material, as we now un
derstand materialism, or spiritual as we
imperfectly understand . the spiritual,
it is not for me or you yet to know—a
type that shall excel the present man
as far as he excels the 'typo below him.
I propose to show this theory. First;
-by what may strictly- he calle'd geologi-
Cat eViderees.
Let the reader bear in mind as ex
plained in number 4, that all dead mat
ter on the surface of animal and vegeta
ble bodies falls off by thelaw ofgravita,-

Dreadfully Married.
I met 'her in a stage . coaeh'ln lowa,
on ono of those long, dreary,,monoton
ous routes across tho prairies., • We were .
the only paSsengers. She was dressed.
in deep mourning, and as she shrunk
Within a corner of the coach, and oc
casionally breathed a sigh, she looked .
the very image of desolation. She was
evidently a wonfau of sorrow, rather
intimately acquained with grief.—
Young, too, though' a glimpse I caught
at her face once, when her veil was
turned momentarily aside, showed me
that, her misfortunes, whatever they
might have been, had left their trace
there. ThrOughout a long forenoon diil
we ride together_ in silence, the woman
in her own sad thoughts, and
I wrapped in my overcoat and a horse
blank.et. , '
We stopped at a wayside inn for
dinner, and although the meal was not
related in the niost distant manner to a
sumptuous repast, yet it was warming,
and the day was tcold. When we re
sumed ourseats , in he coach, I bundled
snugly into my c tiler, and soon fell
into the pleasant, vwsy state indubed
by dinner and the °non of the coach.
This had lasted bu le short time, how
ever,l.
whenll was a tuned by a sob from
the ady in; black. I felt that I ought
to extend my sympathies to her in some
manner, and so, after addressing a few
words of common-place tol her, I ven
tured to. inquire, iu tones of the most
delicate I commisseration, If she was
mourning for some departed friend,
' Ali, yes,' she replied withn sigh.
' A mother, perhaps?' said I.
' No, husbands / 1
' Husbands?'
' Yes, husbands' she cried hitt9rly.:-
9bar.
I am mourning 'the loss of husbands.
Fri'-ar pay story, and you will pity me;_
for there is a look 'of softness aboutyou
that bespeaks a sympathetic heart.—
You have read in the paperEi of a.yonng
woman who found that she had mar
ried her own brother, Ho ;was carried _
from home when a child and reared
under another name; and when he!
came to be man he wandered back=
again, and after courting, married his
own sister without khowingit. Know„
gentle sir, I am that unhappy woman ii
You 2'
Yes; but my misfortunes did not
end there. Would to heaven they had.
The... Marriage was, of course, null and
void, In- fact, the melan4holy error
was discovered before we'left the church
- where we Were united. ; .Months' rolled
'away before I again allowed my earti to
listen - to:the honeyed words of love.—
They were breathed by one .who-quick
ly led captive my too susceptible and
confidingheart. Although ho professed
to come from far away, yet there was a
strangely .familinicaccent. in his voice
occasionally that set me wondering
where I had heard it, and sometimes a
look,; a - gesture, or a movement of him
I so madly doted on would revive half
buried reccollections - that. bewildered
my poor brain sorely to understand.
did not understand them then ; but oh,.
how well I have understood them since!
`At, length I yielded to his. ardent
importunities and permitted him to
lead me, a blushing, bride, to the altar.
. Let met dwell upon the harrow
ing details No sooner w4ts the ceremo
ny performed that made via one, than it
was discovered—oh ! hlror, can I live
to tell it?—it was dis.cov red that I had
married
Yes, yes.' cried I, incuriosity and ex
citement, discovered that you had
married—"
' Discovered that I had married—my
grandmother!' shrieked the unhappy
'woman, as she burled her sobs in the
horse blanket.
It was the most agonizing position J
was ever placed ill during the .whole
course of my life. I deejly sympa
thized with the unhappy creature—
wanted to console her; but what-con
solation can you offer a young woman
who, through a wretched Mistake, is
first united to her brother, and then, in
a moment of abstraction, marries her
own grandmother ? There Were so
many strange and peculiar features
about the case, don't you see, that was .
puzzled what to say. A. Careless or'lll
- word to.a woman who was
in such infernal and exasperating luck
about getting a husband, might result
in her marrying the stage-horses or a
toll-gate next, for anything I know.
Recovering somewhat from her agita
tion, she resumed:
' After such ago)nizing experiences
why, why didl ever again submit tol
the hateful bonds of wedlock?'
What, again !' cried I, Ina voice of
genuine dismay ; ' you don't mean to
tell me you tried it on again l'
Alas ! yes, Such is the yielding
Susceptibility of my nature that I was
again a bride, and this time found my
self married to—'
':Married to your uncles, aunts, great
grandfather and the 'rest of your rela
tions, I suppose, said I, somewhat
sneeringly.
