FILIAL AFFECTION.

II true Nory.-ln seaport town IN one OF
the most distant provinces Of France, there lived
a merchant who had carried on the trade with
equal honor and prosperity, until he was trraed
fifty years Of age; and then, by a sudden series
of unexpected and unavoidable losses, found hm-
self unable to comply with his engagements and
his wife and children, in whom nc placed his
principal happiness, reduced into such situation
as doubled his distress.
His sole resource in this sad situation was the
reflection that upon the srlcest review OF his own
conduct, nothing Of imprudence or iniqulty ap-
peared. lie thought best therefore to repair to
Paris IN order to lay true statement OF his affairs
before his creditors, that being convinced of his
honesty, they might be induced to pity his mis-
fortunes and allow him reasonable space oftme
to settle his affairs. He was kindly received by
some, and very cvy by all. From whence he
received great hopes, which he communicated TO
his family; but these were speedily dashed by
the cruelty of his principal creditor, who caused
him to be arrested and put to goal As soon as
this melancholy event was known in the country,
his eldest son who was about nineteen years old,
listening only TO the dictates of filal piety, came
post to Paris and threw himself at the feet of his
obdurate creditor, to whom he painted the distress
Of the family in the most pathetic terms, but with
out effect. At length in the greatest agony of
mind he said, Sir, since you think nothing can
Ecompcnsa,e you for your loss but victim, let your
resentment derovc on me. Let me suffer instead of
my father; and the mserles OF a prison will
seem light in procuring the liberty of parent to
Iconsoe the distressed and distracted family, |
have left behind me. Thus, sir, you will graft
lily your vengeance, without sealing their ire
trieyable ruin" And here his tears and sighs
stopped his utIerance. His fathers creditor be-
held him upon his knees for full quarter of an
hour. He then stcrnly bade him rise and sit
down, which he obeyed. The gentleman then
walked from one corner of the room to the other,
i'll great agitation of mind for about the same
space Of time. At length, throwing his arms
around the young mans neck, 81 find" said he,
there is something more valuable than money
i have an only daughter, for whose fate have
the utmost anxiety. lam resolved TO fix it; in
marrying you she must be happy-go, carry
your father his discharge---ask his consent--brlng
him instantly hi.her-let us bury in the joy of
this alliance, all remembrance of what has for
merly happened" Thus the generous gratitude
of the son, relieved the calamity of the worthy
father. The man who had considered wealth
and happiness as synonymous terms, was freed
from that fatal error and Providence vindicated
the manner of its proceeding by thus bringing
light out Of darkness, and through short scene
of misery rewarded virtuons family with last
ing peace, in the enjoyment of that prosperity
which they so richly deserved.

AMERICAN WEDDING IN PERSIA.-Ooremiah,
Persia, March 20, ls39.-The event of an
American wedding in Persia, is SO novel and
rare, that | have supposed brief notice Of one
may not be unineresting to you and your readers.
On the lth instant, it was my privilege to unite
in marriage our countryman, the Rev. James l..
Merrick, and Miss Emma Taylor, daughter of
Nathaniel Taylor, Esq. of Portsmouth England
young lady every way worthy of this excellent
missionary brother and TO fill the important sphere
in which she is now called to move.
The bride is a sister of Mrs. Nisbet the wife of
an English officer, who and her husband, you
may recollect were to Mrs. Perkins and myself
all that parents could have been, when we first
reached this country, about five yeare ago, in most
trying and dependant circumstances; and they
have ever been indefatgable and invaluable friends
of us and our object.
The marriage was solemnized at the dwelling of
these friends of the bride in the city of Tabrccz
The guests were only about twenty in number ;
representing, however, several different nations,
viz: English, Americans, French, Russians,
Italians, Greeks, and HISTORIANS. Guests from
the Americans and Mohammcdans had also been
expected, but sickness and other circumstances
prevented their attendance. In this small number
of guests, considerable diversity of rank was
also observable, ranging between the Russian
prince and Consul General, and their obsequous
Interpreter and the humble HISTORIAN.
This wedding was highly American III all its
features, and especially in the item of temper
ance. Nothing stronger than tea was furnished
at the very liberal entertainment, which was
received with great apparent satisfaction by the
whole company.

Among the many valuable and important inven
tons of the day, none is more worthy of our con
sideraton than that of F. p. Dimplel Esq, of New
York. We refer to his 'Fuel Saving and Spark
Consuming apparatus" lately tested and its merits
successfully proved upon the Stonington Railroad
By this machine the annoyance ofsparks to tray.
elers on railway cars is entirely done away. No
spark is to be seen, nor particle Of smoke. All
is consumed in the furnace. Said machine is very
simple in its construction, and is intended to re-
tain all the heat. 1t is affixed to the bottom of the
engine, below the boiler, and by the aid of a fan
blower the motion Of which is gained by a
simple pully attached to the wheel, the heat is
caused to revolve, passing through the tubes OF
the boiler and machine. in reciprocal succession
The saving of fuel is abuot one quarer.-Porp.

II Earl Spencer does not look to his laures,

length about twelve feet, in height over the shoul-
dcrs, Gve feet eleven inches; and in girh ten
feet nine inches. 1t is six years DID, of beauti-
inl dapple hay color, and was bread by the
Honorable Isaac Hubbard, in New Hampshire
The animal is in excellent condition, but not
overloaded with fat like those monsters exhibited
at the Smihfcld Cattle Shows in December Of
a breed somcwhatbetwecn the Durham and Devon,
and in every point beautifully proporoned. Ac-
cording TO the opinion of breeders it might be
fedto weigh fully thousand pounds more. Those

Famine IN Hdia.-lt appears from the recent
transactions Of the British India Society, that
within the last seventy three years no less than
sixteen desolating famnes have occurred, and that
too in country the soil of which is allowed to
be one of unexampled fertility and the resources
Of which, it cannot be denied, ifproperly managed,
would be fully adequate to all the demands OF It's
teeming millions. The dates at which these
famines arc said to have occurred are 1865, ITO,
1882, 1892, 1903, 1909, 1919, 1920, 1924, 1928,
1892, 1893, 1886, 1887, 1888, and 1889. Some
Of the earlier of these famines may, it is stated
be referred to the simultaneous occurrences of
wars but with respect to those of the last twenty
years, which have been time of profound peace,
no such cause can be assigned. The accounts
which are given of the famine Of 1888 are APP
,palling in the extreme. At Agra $4,000 pining
wretches were fed by the public bounty on the
l4th of April and between the lst and the 9th
of March, II, 533 infrm and sightless wrclches
were fed in the same manner. So great were the
ravages of death that the air for miles was tainted
with the et1luvia from the purifying carcasses of
men and cattle, and the rivers of the Jumna and
the Ganges were closed up and poisoned by the
dead bodies thrown into their channels. The
water and fish of these rivers were rejected as
unfit for use. The mortality was at the rate
of O,000 per month; destruction Of life, which,
had it continued, would have been sufficiently
large to have swept off the entire population in
less than year.

Burning Mine-Mr. Dougherty's mine on
Broad Mountain is still on fire, and burns with
increased fury. Mr.. d. has advertised for pro-
posals TO extinguish the fire; but we apprehend
he would scarcely find a contractor who would
wait for his pay until the job is finished, as from
the length of time it has been burning and our
own personal examination, it will probably con-
continue to increase in fury until the whole jugu-
lar vein of half mile in length above the water
level shall have been consumed. 1t is now the
greatest curiosity in our region; and will doubt
less attract the visits Of many from our Eastern
cities, who would rather view a volcano in this
healthy neighborhood than visit Vesuyius.-

Uorh .1ienfi0n.--We observe that Cadwal-
lader Evans, No. 10. Water street Pittsburg,
offers fre thousand dollars to any person who
will explode steam boiler, to which his patent
safety guard is attached The subject is entitled
to serious consideration, in view of the immense
loss of life annually occurring by explosions on
our western waters and what is scarcely less a
discomfort, the many anxious fears, and distress
ing apprchensions as well on account Of the risk
of property and the life Of relations and friends
as by reason of personal hazard. Every inven-
ton put forth by respectable and responsible per-
sons, and protesting TO be remedy for these
dreadful disasters, merits at least a respectful
consideration. OF Mr.. Evans, we know nothing,
except that his offer to submit his discovery to
fair trial. carries with it the air of candor and sim
certy. It his invention possess merit, it should
not be left to become 'John Fitch affair."
