"Twenty years age I was master of the ship Atticus, sailing out of Castlue. She would be thought a small ship nowadays, being out but three hundred and ten tons burden, but she was large for those days, and was the fastest ship that ever sailed out of Penobscot Bay. Well that she was so, my dear children, or I should not be here to-day. " was in the West India trade, and having taken in about one-third of a cargo at a windward island, that is, one lying farthest to the east, was running down to a leeward island, about six hun dred miles, to fill up ray ship. One third of a cargo just made a per fect set of ballast for a heavy wind, so that my ship could not have been in a condition to sail faster. Anal this, too, was providential," said the old 'man, piously, "as you will soofi see, for had she been either fully laden or in light ballast we should have been overhauled 4nd lost. I "At that time there were a great many pirates in the West Indian seas. They were merciless creatures, and killed all whom they captured." " What did they want to kill them for?". 1 said, "It don't make them any richer." " 0, if they had spared one, ho might see them afterwards, in Boston or New York, when they came there to spend their money, and so might bear witness against them, and cause them to be punished. In earlier years the pirates were more merciful but when some had been convinced by chancing to meet persons whom they had spared, the other said. "Dead :nen . to) tx‘res, - and murdered whom they took. "One mornflig, when we were abottt, iude..way to our' t, a fair wind was blowing very freshly indeed, and we 'were running under short sail. At sun rise I came on deck, and took my glass, as I always did in' the morning, to look around and see if any sail were in sight. And far away to the east, straight as tern, I could barely discern a schooner standing to the north. I had jilst made her out, when her course was sutt denly changed, and she began sailing directly after us. In a few minutes I saw more sail spread upon her. First a reef was taken out of the topsail, then hip-gallant sail WAS set, :tied .then great square-sail was-let down from tho fore-yard, 'Evidently she was chasing us. ." I did not like to alarm the crow ; so I said nothing about the vessel astern, so I called the mate and said, Mr. Ma son, it', bv,t to matte the most of a fair wind; you may shake out the reef from the topsails, and- set- the top-gallant sails." 'All bands aloft - to make Bair!' be shouted. Then coming up to me, look ing a little pale, he said, 'What is it Captain ?'—for he had noticed that I bail kept the glass at my ye a good while. " tNothing of great" edi l sequenee guesllt_, said 1. , ''Bomething, I'm certain,' he said to himself, but went away. "I didn't keep the secret long, for when the sailors had done making sail, one of them spied trio schooner, 'and cried 'Sail ho!' They all saw her, and tnew in a moment what it meant. Coming down to the deck, they stood in. a group, looking pretty anxious, but keeping quiet, and gazing -as me as if I carried all their lives in my bands. Be fore long we could see the schoonet plainly, from the deck with the naked .eye. How swiftly she came on ! And we, too, were rushing forward at a great speed. " Soon the mate came aft again. 'Capt. Dunbar, we are ready to set more sail, if you say so.' " ' Not now,' I said, 'we'll see. The wind freshens fast; and I'm not sure we could carry more sail virith safety." "In an hour mere the pirate was only three or four miles astern. We could see her decks crowded with men. But preSently up went the black flag " ' My God! there it is!' cried all the crew as with one yoke. ‘ • I - ‘ Yes,' there it was ;and now •If we could outsail the pirate, we lived, if not, we . died. . " The wind had been freshening fast all the while, and wasnow a sharp gale. I hail never in my life, perhaps, had so nitieb canvas on in so heavy a blow, but we mast; spread more. " ' Set the.courses.' "You should have seen the men fly to obey. They had the courses on in about: the time it ,commonly takes a seaman to shift his quid of tobacco from one cheek to the other! " I now waited to see if we were going fast enough ; but soon perceived, only too plainly, that the pirate still gained upon us, though slowlly at last. I look ed up to the masts.cy were bending like coach whips—thaT(lit they did not go overboard seemed aimiracle—and yet 'wo must carry more il. in " ' Get on the stud ing sails,' I said ; 'we must trust in Go to make the sh'ip bear it through.' " At any other time had I ordered the seamen zkloft when- the masts were threatening coal moment to go by the board, they would have refused,' noiv they sprang up the shrouds like eats. Studding-sail after studdi ng-sairwasset ; then we got out the boat's sails, and spread them wherever they would catch a capful pf wind. And still not a spar not a yarn parted. It seemed to me that they we'll held only by the mighty power or (sod, "There were a few. moments of_ deep suspense.

A lady, who had no idea of looking for a husband, but with large proclivi ties for mischief and fun, put a matri monial advertisement in the New Yof k Herald, with directions for answers to be sent to a certain signature at the Broadway Yost-office. As the adver tisement appealed to the practical ap preciation, by assuming a neat little fortune, in addition to an agreeable person, the seed of ; such temptaticn could not well fall idly upon such fert ile bottom as is offered by the city of New York,. On the first clay that suc ceeded the, advertisement the lady re ceived goventopo replies ; on the second day thirty-two ; and on the third sev enty-two, an extent of ardor and ap preciation for her vaguely described personal attractions which even she was not prepared to expect. Bewildered by the warm volume of 'adoration and entreaty, which issued from this hymenial magazine, the lady called to her aid five ladies as mischiev ous as herself. One pair of hands and one mind' were of course quite unequal td the task of answering all, so the bil let doux were divided equally among them, and each was to make an ap pointment with the writers on the fol lowing Saturday afternoon, at four o'- clock, on the lower shit: of re up stairs saloon of a certain popular restaurant in Broadway. Each of the ladies, moreover, who took the task in charge, chose a different colored paper for re pl es. Finally, it was agreed that the whole six should be present at the Interview, and that each should wear the exact costume prescribed for the inamorata whom the sighing swains wouirt Lo there to see. On the other hand the ffentlemen were .direAted to appear ill all of tIALIre Uflcit vutatio3J which female ingenuity and misehic-f could devise. One was requested to wear a blue coat with brass buttons; another to have his hair parted in the middle; one was to be eating a plate of pork and beaus, which, said the ingen wus Wiiier who directed it, "you call scarcely expect will be called for hs anybody else." Others were to bO pni - taking of various dishes ; or .o pimp themselves in such postures as Vero di rected by the writers. At four o'clock on the prescribed Sat urday afternoon, every chair 41, every table on the lower side of the up stairs saloon, was filled with sleek-:looking, aud - highly-perfumed Lettn4l3,. all gazing into each other's faces, acid each secretly cursing the luck which Wedged him so closely out of the killing posi tion and displays which he had been meditating ever since he gut And how the dishes smoked, and the wondering waiters flew ! E veu the pet plexed landlord, amazed at this mirac ulous flow of business, was obliged to drop his own mutton chop, and call out the entire force of the establishment to meet the clamorous if nut threatenibg demands of gentlemen who feared, they might not get their telegraphing plate. of duck; or mess of pork and beans in time. ; . At length the clash of sheen and click of 'still' skirts was heard comin ,, ' up stairs one minute lifter the hour, mi l d au inamorata appeared, dressed in dark. green, with deep fur cape, and abund ant drooping lace. She was watered on, the head 'with an infinitesmal bonnet and carried in her hand the magic rift of cambric, whose Shakesperean straw berries intimated that she was she.— When tihe appeared the sensation was universal; the gentleman with bull vest threw open his coat to the extreme; the gentleman iu the • bhie' anti the bright buttonS, buttoned his coat en tirely to the chin. The gentlemen who.was to lean back ward, commenced tilting - like a Chinese mandarin ; the gentleman with the pork and beans became vociferous for more beans; while those who had duck, etc., were equally clamorous in com plaining lof the undue fulfillment of their orders. Never was there Such a clamor heard in that unusually well rt.gulated up stairs saloon before, and, by the by, never subsided more sud denly than when a new brush 'of skirts ,was heard coming up the stairs. Alt lotharios were once more in posi tion, when lo ! another Cordelia, in all respects the reflex of the first, appeared, bearing the linn of strawberries as a challenge in her hand, sweeping with it like u Juno to a seat Dear the loea tioa of the first. It is needless to say that the seusa tiou was DOW extreme. some of the gentlemen who were to part their hair in the middle however to look furi- ously at gentlemen who had hair parted in the same way, as much as to say ; " Well, there is one for each of us, any how !" But most of the party seemed nude troubled than before. A pause ui sour; minutes succeeded before any new "appearance? ) took place,, during which time the Lotharius were engaged in displaying their points to the best ad vantage ; and some, more ardent than the rest, pulled out the various colored notes they had received, and either pre tended to read them or laid tli:an con spicuously ou the table. Presently, apparitions three and four appeared, and hard upon their heels Caine live and six. There was now perfect consternation on the lower side of mu LIP btailS :ialoon of iho fashion- able restautant. The man Of tilt fell backward and was shot under the table; there NN ILS a general feeling alter hats, and gathering up Of loose build kerchiefs and canes. All at once, af ter one of those short, sudden panics, which convey electric knowledge to the human mind, at general staznpede took place, and theßvltole party, with more or less dignityi—, according •to the natures mid shapes they had assumed— thlide ler the etthrelinct descended out of eight. A Miserly Recluse, The following particulars of the death of the singular Jersey Citk miser, the fact of which has been already an nounced,. will be read with interest.— , We lied the account in the liekv , York Times of a late date : On Wednesday, evening last, Lyman Allyn, an aged'. boarder at Taylor's Hotel, in Jersey City, was found dead sitting In his chair in his room. His death was duly reported on the follow. lug morning, but there were circum stances developed yesterday whieh sur round his life and death with peculiar interest. His brother, Thomas Allen, of Coml., - in company with a sister, the only relatives of the deceased, ar rived yesterday, and, with the pertuis sion of Coroner Burns, who is to , hoid ail inquest, took charge of i.he corpse. They examined also the two dilapida ted trunks that stood in the. corner of their brother's bedroom, akSd In one of them were found stocks l 'and •boude, (leech; and nocuritiaa of Arar/ouo dcaorl p. tions representing a fortune of $60,000. His life during the last five years has been most remarkable. He was a man of over seventy, and so infirm that lie consumed half. an hour or more in corn. Ipgdown from his room to the dining room. Yet he 'pied upon the highest idcor to save Money; and was never. known when upon the streets to uS"e horse car, Saying' that they had the, el feel to make people lazy, and he would not patronize them. He came from ills room to his meals but once a day, eat ing the smallest quantity of the cheap est food. He sought no society, and would permit no person to enter his room but the chambermaid, and she but once a week. While she arranged his room he invariably watched her closely. To an observer the room con tained very little that was worth watch ing. Two old trunks, a scanty ward robe, made up of - cheap ready-made coats; two hats, one white, the other black, and both thirty years,old ; patch ed shoes and bouts, a copy of Webster s dictionary, a Bible, and a medical book, were all that the room contained, and its situation and Interior desolateneLs made it r, dreary abode. The old man had lived here alone for nearly years, for he said, they came onAy cause they thought, he had money that thV were mistaken, for he was 'very poor, and had great difficulty in paying his board bills. His brother and sister, who took charge of his effects; yesterday gave our reporter a brief sketch of his life.— Ho was born in Groton, Conu., in 1797, and was sent at an early age by his father to work in a grocery store in dew London. Finding that his employer was dishonest, and that he used. false weights and ineasutes, the boy rail away and returned to . his home. He soon procured a situation in another store, remaining, there leif a number of years, until* in 1826, he tinte to New York and engaged in b 1.113 illess as a com mission merchant. Bei:billing tere;,- tell in stock speculations, under the iai vertisenient and in partnership with Jacob Little, Mr. Allyn amassed alarge WWI e, which subsequent speculations did much to reduce. lie was a bachel or, and had for thir,ty or forty yews buoxa risroo avorao to fill. society, but his eceentileities e not so mark ed as they were during the six or seven yeara preceding nin deatn. his stay at ‘ `yaylor's Hotel ho was oc cupied entirely in looking atter thu Value of and' tlio interest upon 1116 boric, and stocks, keeping his business, lion ill so great secrecy that not overt the proprietor oil the hotel had the fain eat it,tiluutil,ll that JlLib guest was a. wealthy capitalist. His bills were pal i with the greatest promptitude ' but In yowl this fact no person in the hotel had grounds for supposing that, the obi laid a dollar. occupation, •meanwhile; was entirely unknoi, ii, and many speculations were indulged in by wa icllow-boarders touching the work which kept the recluse so much "eon finud to his garret. Wednesday attei• neon the bill collector took Mr. Allyn's bill to his room, knocked, icceived no anbV:er, and could gain no adin itance.— Ile threw the bill into the room over the door Lunt went away. The- day wore away, and it was remarked that the old gentleman was out Itio prompt as iormerly in responding to the pre sentation of his bill. Mr. Fisk, the proprietor, went to his room, and re• ceiving no answer to his calls, the door was forced open, and the aged occupant was found lueless in his chair. The examination of the trunk and, contents yesterday diSelorsect the fact that the old man owned -stock in many of the best paying concerns ill the country. Ho owned stork Ai all the principal railroads in New Jersey, the Erie' Railway ' Atlantic and rent Western, the 11lorris Canal/and Bank ing Company, and the New York Cen tral. Deeds for a large amount of: real estate in Long Island and in the ciiY of Brooklyn, and a pile of State and coun ty bonds, were found. With theca there was a will, dated fifteen years ago, bequeathing all his property to his brother and sister. . The body will be removed to Groton, Conn., to be interred there. How IT FEELS -DROWN.—As some of our readers may be curious upon this subject, we give the experience of Geo. Forbeas, a sailor, who fell - overboard, while making a trip across the lake, and was rescued in a helpless condition. After describing how he rid himself of supbaluous clothing, and swam aftff the boat from which he had fallen ; how.he cried 11or help and could hear ansWering cries ; how he thought of his wife and children and of dillinent things that had occurred to him, he says: 1 ' After a time the wind \vent down, the s2a. got a little smoother, add I felt sure 1 would soon hear from the scow. I was feeling more courage, and was strikinc , out with a will, when a' sod den cramp caught me, and I could not i sio another stroke. I felt like a lump of lead. My head began to spin around, a'greht lump ro. o up in t»y throat and choked me, and my eyes closed up as if a weight had been hung on the lids.-- I began to drown, 1 felt it; then came a feeling something like a red hot iron being drawn through my brain, and my head felt like fire. A humming, roaring noise, went through my ears, and I felt as light as a feather. The waves carried me about without an ef fort on my part, and I laughed—it seemed so - curious that I actually laugh sed. I didn't care to be picked up— didn't care for Lizzie—only wanted to float and iirift forever on the rollers.— The water came into my face and month, but I never tried to keep my head up. I wouldn't have !nova my finger to have been aboard the seocv.— t grew darker and darker, the old lire came through illy head again.— Son - writing clutched me by the leg and drew me down.

A CONTRADICTORY CotrPLE.—Mar tied life is happy or unhappy just as people make _it ; and if there be one[ thing more than another that turns Elysium into Tophet it is mutual con tradiction. The wife likes to live in. town and the husband in the country; she likes the thermometer at seventy and he at fogy two; she likes music, which he h ates, and hates dancing, which he loves, and so a very cat and dog life they Lead. Here is a sketch of a nice couple, inimitably told: " I do believe," said he taking the spoon out of his glass and tossing it on the table, " that of all the obstinate, positive, wrong headed creatures that over was born, you are the most so, Charlotte." Certainly, certainly; have your own way, pray.

"If you call that contradiction, I do," answered the lady ; "and I say again, Edward, that when I know you are wrong I will contradict you. lam not your slave." " IS'ot my slave!" bitterly answers the husband. " And you still mean to say that in the fllackburns, new house there aro not more than fourteen doors; including the door of the wine cellar ?" "I mean to say," retorts the ladY, beating time with a hair brush upon the palm of her hand, "that In that house there are fourteen doors, and no more.

THE FATHER OF FREIDERICIT. THI33 GREAT.---The king . was scrupulously clean, washing five times a day. He would allow no drapery, no stuffed fur niture, no carpets in his apartments.•;-- They aught dust. He sat upon a plain wooden chair. He ate roughly, like a farmer, of roast beef, despising all the delicacies: His almost invariable dress was a close military blue coat,.with red cuffs and collar, buff waistcoat and breeches, and. white linen gaiters to the knee. A sword was belted around his• loins, and as we havesaid, a stout ratan or bamboo cane ever in his "hand. A well-borne, battered triangular hat cov ered his head. Ho walked rapidly through the streets which surrounded. his palaces at llotsdam and Berlin. If he met any one who attracted his at tention, male or female, he would all .bruptly, menacingly inquire, "Who are You?" A street lounger he has been known to hit over the head with his cane, exclaiming, "Home you rascal, and go to work." If any one prevail eated or,hesitated 'he would sternly de mand, •`'Look Mein the face." If there was still hesitancy, or the king was die satisfied with the answer, the one in terrogated was lticky if he escaped with out a caning. • The boorish king hated the refine ment and polish of the French. •If he met a lady in rich aftire, she was pretty sure to bo rudely assailed ; and a young man fashionably dressed could hardly escape the cudgel if he came within reach of the king's arm. The king stalking through the streets, was as • marked an- object as an elephant would have been. • Every one instantly recognized him, and many fled at his approach. One day he met a pale, threadbare you man, who was quiet ly passing lint, when the king stopped n hi s j er :cing gait, and detuanded, in hi s co2 nse, rapid utterance, " Who are " t , r •' I am a theological student," t ilt! youngman quietly replied. Where -trom ??"added the king. From Ber lin,," was the response. "Front Ber lin," the king rejoined ; " the Berliners ate all a good-for-nothing set." Yes t . 'Tour Majesty, that is true of many of • ihem," the young man added : " but I know of two exceptions." "Of two?" 'responded the king; " which arc they?" Your Majesty and the young replied. The king liiirAt into a good naturkd laugh, and, after having the you lit?: tuft 1 •examined, assign
