THE IMPORTANCE OF A VOTE.

Notwithstanding the largo democratic ma jority in each branch of the Pennsylvania le- gislature, the majority in the house would have been sic more than 1t IS, had only l4 of the democrats who stayed at home, voted. The democrats appear to have had all the bad luck, where the vote was at all close, losing three members of the house, by an aggregate majority of eieren votes. Thus Tn Milllin county, Mr. Postlcthwaite, the demo- cratic candidate for the legislature, Is beaten by seven majority--while Mir. Prick, III Bcd- ford county, and Mr. Hibbs, in Bucks, (demo- crats) lose their election by two votes each. Three more democratic votes in each of these counties, and eight more in Mifflin, (and there are more than enough in these, counties, who did not vote at all, to have turned the scale) would have elected three more demo- crats to the legislature, and have made six difference on test vote. As 1t happens, they are not wanted to secure the house; but i, might have been otherwise, aud in fact the house lost by mere remssness in the exercise of the elective franchise.
 So in one, at least, of the congress dis tiicts, the result of the omission of democrats to vote is seen, ill the election by mere

At every plunge of the vessel, the water poured over her bows and deluged the decks From the bosom of the laboring craft issued the yells of mingled agony and terror, from eight hundred souls confined below, which mingled with the blast, and must have been heard far inland by the distant Vega,t who might fancy that a thousand fends were shrieking in the elemental strife above.
 'Where's your axe-give it me- Antonio take another. Where is the cruiser? see her-we can clear her. Hard port your helm. All hands run up the fore-top-mast- stay-sall-cutl" rapidly uttered the dauntless youth.
 The cables were severed at blow; the sail burst from the bolt ropes, the ship rose upon a roller crested with foam; careened round before the blast, and under the impulse of the hurricane, dashed madly towards the shore, passing the cruiser like a phantom, and disappearing amidst the haze and drift and surf; in a moment after, she struck A tremendous roller lifted her again from the ground, and after several successive shocks, she plunged into comparatively smooth water
 The next morning the Esperanza, lay high and dry half mile from the shore, and land- ed her cargo in safety. And before night, the bold and pennyless adventurer was in possession of one hundred thousand dollars; his well-earned share of cargo, valued at that time, at nearly four hundred thousand dollars, whilst the British cruiser was con tent to weigh anchor and renew his honora- bic efforts against a trade now almost univer- sally denounced as the worst of piracy.
 The hero of our sketch has since acquired great wealth, and possesses an income of some two hundred thousand dollars per an mum, and is Grandee of Spain, with several titles of distinction.
 It is nearly forty years since this incident occurred: he still enjoys excellent health, and in the conduct of his affairs is distin- gulshed for that energy which marked his first career-as well as for every other qua lity that can adorn the character of gentle man.
 So much for making the best of chance :: the first instance, we suppose, of doubloons being coined out of hurricane

.4No6le Dog.-A Halifax paper states tltat a child was playing with Newfoundland dog, on Coach's wharf Halifax, a short time since, and by some accident, slipped over the end of the wharf into the water The dog immediately sprung after the child, (who was only six years old) and seizing the waist of his little frock, brought him into the dock, where there was stage, and by which the child held on, but was unable to get on top. The dog, seeing that it was unable to pull the little fellow out of the water, ran mp to yard adjoining, and where little girl nine years of age was spreading out clothes. He seized the girl by her frock, and notwith- standing her exertions to get away, he suc- ceedcd in dragging her to the spot, where the child was still hanging by the hands to the stage. On the girls taking hold of the child, the dog assisted her in rescuing the little fel- low from his perlous situation, and after licking the face of the infant, that it had thus saved, it took leap off the stage, and swan round to the end of the wharf, and immedi- ately after returning with his hat in his mouth. It is said that the father of the chid-to whom the dog bclongs-when leaving the country where he formerly resided, rescued 1t from the hands of some persons, who were about to execute the poor animal for killing a sheep.

Rights of Women-The Nashville Union of the lst inst, says: "A bill has passed the Senate of the Tennessee Legislature, by d very large majority, to secure to married wo- men the use and enjoyment of their own pro- perty." The justice of such measure seems at once so apparent, that it is matter of wonder why 1t is now, for the first time, in Tennessee, about to be established by law, as we trust it will be. The principles of the English common law have been 90 successful. ly and deeply grafted in ourjurisprudence, that this and similar measures have met win but little countenance in most of the States, be- cause the great and important changes which they were calculated to produce in one of the fundamental rules of that law. This sort cf opposition, however, is the fruit of prejudice, and justice has been denied solely to prevent an innovation on long established usage
 Those who oppose this measure on this ground, have about as solid a plea as the Italian carriers of which we have so often read, who put their meal in one end of their panniers and rocks in the other, to make them balance on the ass's back. When told that the rocks were useless burden, and that division of the meal would make as good balance, they replied tlrey would not depart from the customs of their fathers. But we ought not to refuse to do right, because it has been customary to do wrong. Com mon justice demands that every person, mals as well as female, should have the absolute control of whatever estate he or she IS law fully possessed; why then should 1t cease 10 be just for woman to retain all her proper ty, when she contracts marriage, What is there in the contract or the relation that should compel her instantly to lose her hold upon her owns
 Under the old law which has been mfss called the ''perfection of wisdom," how ma ny worthy women have been reduced from competency to beggary! how many have been the victims of worthless fortune hunt CTS! how many have suffered cruel privations from miserly husbands! how many have been left renniless widows, their property being taken to pay their husbands debts.- The law now proposed simply provides that the wife shall have the same undisturbed con- trol of her own estate after marriage which she had before. It prevents her property from passing out of her hands, on marriage, by mere operation of law, without her con- sent It elevates woman one step higher in the scale of being, and gives her rank which in all Christian countries she has proved her self to deserve. And besides all this, tlle measure injures no one-it takes from no man any thing that belongs to hint will prevent frauds and the smuggling of proper ty-and last, though not least important im it's consequences, it will decrease the num- Der of old maids, who now refuse to marry lest their effects should be squandered.

Potatoe Bread-The potatoe makes plea sant, palatable bread with wheat, in the pro- portion of one-third, but if one-fourth, it is still lighter and better. Specimens of bread made of barley and potatoes, and also of oats and potatoes, were submitted to the board of agriculture, which promised well. In some cases the potatoe was not boiled, but merely grated down into a pulp, and mixed with wheaten flour, in which mode it made excellent bread. It has been found by other trials, that good bread may be made from equal quantities of flour and petatoe meal, which has been greatly the practice in those counties most remarkable for the plen- tiful culture of the potatoe. The most ready method of making potatoes into bread is, after boiling, steaming (the best) or baking them, to reduce them to moderate fine powder. If made up with milk, the quality of the bread will be much improved

1He Orphan.-Don't speak harshly to him. He has no father to direct his steps; no mother to watch over him. Temptation was spread before him and he yielded. Be not severe-perhaps one kind word may save him from ruin. Do not drive him to more gross acts of sin, but, manifest by your voice and your tears that you are his real friend. Had he been blessed with a mothers care, he would not have stepped aside from the path of recttude. Now he feels that no one cares for him; no one pities him; no one loves him. Go to him and be his friend, his guide, his counsellor, and you save him from the depths of degradation. There is nothing so ef1ectual as sympathy, to allay the bad passions and incline the heart to virtue.
