On the banks of the Naugauck rapid stream

GUS part of the state of Connecticut, a few years
since lived respectable family, by the name Of
b -. The father, though not wealthy, was
respectable man. He had fought the battles OF his
country in the revolution, and from familiarity with
Of danger aud peril he had learned that il is
always more prudent to preserve and affect the air
Of confidence in danger, than to betray signs OF tear
and especially so, since his conduct might have
q eat influence upon he minds Of those about him
He had occasion TO send alitle across the river
to the house Of relation, on errand, and there
was then no bridge, The river must be forded. The
lad was familiar with every part OF the lording place
and when ne water was low, which was at this time
the cas-, ccod cross without danger But he had
sea cely ed at his place Of destination and dore
his errari, hen suddenly, as lsrequently the case
in mountainous countries, the heavens became ack
with clouds. the winds blew with great violence and
the rain fell IN lorrents--it was near night and be-
came exceeding dark. By the kindness Of his
friends he was persuaded, though with some re-
lucance, sinquish his design OF returning in the
evening" and 10 wait until the morning. The father
suspected the cause of his delay and was not over
anxious on account Of any accidents that might
happen him during the night. But he knew that
he had taught his son to render the most obseqei-
Gus obedience to his fathers commands that he
possessed daring and fearless spirit, and would
be restrained by force, he would as soon as it
should be sufficiently light in the morning, attempt
10 ford the river his return. He knew Also that
the immense quantity of water that appeared to be
Sailing, would by morning cause the river to rise to
a considerable height, and make it dangerous for
man in the iuIl possession of strength and fortude
to at;emp; to cross it. He therefore passed sleep
less night; anticipating with ali fathers feelings
what might bria his child in the morning.
The day dawned--the storm had ceased, the wind
was still, and nothing was to be heard but the roar
Of the waters of the river. The rise OF the river
exceeded even the fathers expectations, and no
sooner it sufficiently light to enable him to dis
tnguish objects it, than he placed himself on
the bank TO watch for the approach OF his son. TIE
son arrived the opposite shore almost at the Same
lnoment, and was beginning to enter the stream.
AL the fathers feelings were reused into action
FOR he knew that his son was in the most imminent
dange:.-He had proceeded too far to return--iD
fact, to go forward or to return was to incur the
same peril, His horse had arrived in the deepest

IMPROVED WINDOW sAsHEs.

Patent has been lately completed by Mr..
Charles Tuely, Kenton street, for this object,
which may be applied TO all windows, new or old;
combining strength, simplicity, and chsapness, in
their constructions; and obyiatng the necessit y of
getting outside, to clean paint, or glaze them there
by preventing the fatal accidents which so very
frequently occur in the present mode of performing
these operations. This improvement also prevents
the sashes from shaking by the action of the wind,
and materially conduces to improve ventilation.
We have been favoured by the Patentee with
the following description of his invention. The
improvements in the sashes consist in making them

An extract of letter from gentleman in this
neighborhood TO distant friend.
DEAR E,
Yesterday, hearing that Elias Hicks, celebra-
ted Quaker preacher, was to have meeting in
Chester and as on such occasions, the Friends not
only more generally attend themselves, but also ex
tend an invitation TO others, concluded TO take a
seat with them. pretty soon found that was not
singular, for number attended from the town and
its vicinity that ranked themselves among other
sects. The preacher with his companions, made
his appearance after the audience was pretty much
collected. | sat about half an hour in anxious ex
pectation, when my thoughts became somewhat
collected, and were beginning to assume more
serious tone, as he arose on his feet and although
his hoarv locks tsnroc lained hs 1enotbansd vears
