ton the proceeds being deposited, with
the balance of wages for the benefit OF his
friends. He was a rough, neglected look
ing boy, about sixteen or seventeen years
old. He had been abandoned in New YORK
by the shpmaster who first employed him
and brought him from home ; and beng a
totally fricndless stranger, he fell into great
want and suffering, begging his TODD and
sleeping in the markets. In this condition
he was found by some benevolent persons,
and came under the notice Of Captain How

vided him place in the Rondout, where he
showed himself active, industrious and ODE
dent Knowing these circumstances OF
his previous degradation, was surprised
when we found in his chest very well writ
ten letter to his parents which he had com
posed entirely by himself in the forecastle,
since he came on board, in preparation for
any possible opportunity TO send 1t TO his
home on Turks Island. The language was
grammatical and well chosen, though simple;
and it was written in plain, legible hand,
though with bad pen and the worst OF ac-
commodations He gave his friends gen
era account of his situation, told them he
was doing well with Captain Rowland and
was treated very kindly by him. As i read
this, the honest captains tears burst out
afresh and was not far from Joining him
when read further the poor boys kind lit
tie messages to his brothers in that beloved
island-home to which his heart yearned in
his woiuI exile, and especially the anxious
affection which he expressed for mother
aud baby" Never had a stranger more
heartfelt mourning than was made over him
by soi.e unused to the melting mood -
His name was Ernest Augustus Darrell
This is his only funeral rite, epitaph, or me-
moral, except inthe sorrowfnl remembrance
of that poor family that looked so long in
vain for him, and perhaps never learned the
particulars of his melancholy loss

HoRRoRs OF SMoKING.-An acquaint-
ance who has for years been alternately a
smoker and chewer of tobacco, tells us, that
although in good health and prosperous in
his affairs, he was frequently low spirited,
he could never tell why. Besides, he was
troubled with twitching in the corners OF
his eyes, which sometimes extended to the
corners of his mouth. At last he began to
accuse his beloved segars as the cause, and
with much effort broke off from smoking
and chewing. The consequence is, that
all the disagreeable things which he endured
have disappeared. His spirits are uniformly
buoyant, and his muscles quiet. AS to the
fellows who make smoke in Broadway,
spelling the common air Of heaven, we wish
spasms would seize all their mouths so that
they could not hold segar.-JOur. Com

A TALE.

-, Not many years ago, a Polish lady, ofple-
bian birth, but of exceeding beauty and ac-
accomplishments, won the affections Of a yonng
nobleman, who having her consent, solicit
ted her from her father in marriage, and
was refused. We may easily imagine the
astonishment of the nobleman.
Is'Am not said he, of sufficient rank TO
aspire to your daughters hands ?
6 You are undoubtedly Of the best blood
of Poland
And my fortune and reputation, are they
not
s8 Your estate is magnificent, and your con-
duct is irreproachable.'
Then, having your daughters consent,
how should expect a refusal =
This, sir, the father replied, is my only
child, and her happiness is the chief con-
Germ ofmy life. II the possession of for
tune are precarious; what fortune givest at
her caprice she takes away. see no Sc
cufity for the independence and comfortable
living. of a wife, but one in word, | am
resolved that no one shall be the husband
of my daughter, who is not at the same time
master of a trade ?
The nobeman bowed and retired silently
year Ut TWO dlleI, tne ldtHeT was SIT
ting at the door, and saw approaching his
house two wagons laden with baskets, and
at the head of the cavalcade person in the
dress Of basket-maker. And who do you
suppose it was ? The former sutton of his
daughter-the nobicman turned baSkct-ma-
ker. He was now master of trade, and
brought the wares made by his own hands,
for inspection and certificate from his en-
ployer in testimony of his skill.
The condition being fulfilled, no farther
obstacle was opposed 20 the marriage. But
the story is not yet done. The Revolution
came-fortunes were plundered- lord:
were scattered before the four winds of heay
en-. Kings became beggars-some of then
teachers-but the noble Pole supported hi:
wife, and her father in the nfrmiiies of age
by his basket-making industry.
