determined to apply his newly acquired
dexterity in unloosing his fetters TO some
purpose. Quickly raising his hands to

the pins and bolts with his teeth, and hurl-

AnecdOte of a French Soldier.

During one of Napoleon's memorable
campaigns, detachment of corps, COM
manded by Davoust, occupied the island
of Rugen, which they were suddenly or
dered to evacuatc. They embarked with
such precipitation that they forgot one of
their sentnels, who was posted in a retired
spot, and so deeply absorbed in the peru
sal of newspaI er containing an account
of one of the emperor's splendid victories
as TO be totally unconscious of their depar-
Mre. After pacing TO and flo, for many
hours upon his post. he lost patience, and
returned to the guard-room, which he
found empty. On inquiry, he learned
with despair what hadhappened, and cried,
"Alas alas! | shall be looked upon
as deserter, dishonored, unhappy, wretch
that ] am"
His lamentations excited the compass
sion of tradesman, who took him TO his
house, did all in his power to console him,
taught him TO make bread, for he was a
baker, and after some months gave him
his only daughter, Justine, in marriage.
Five years afterwards strange sail was
seen to approach the island. The inhab-
itants focked 10 the beach, and soon dis
covered in the advancing ship number
of soldiers, wearing the uniform of the
French army. 81 am done for now, my
bread is baked" cried the dismayed hus.
band of Justine.
An idea, however, suddenly occurred
to him, and revived his courage. He ran
TO his house, slipped into his uniform, and
seizing his fre-lock, returned to the beach
and posted himself on sentry at the mo-
ment the French were landing.
"Who goes there ?" he shouted in a
voice like thunder.
Who goes there, yourself!" replied
one in the boat. "Who are you %
GA sentinel"
How long have you been on guard -
Five years." rejoinediour man.
Davoust laughed at the quaint reply,
and gave a discharge, in due form, TO his
involuntary deserter.

their ground from the harbor TO spot a.
bout half way between the mouth OF the
Hudson and the fire ship. Orders were
soon ordered to the latter to make night
attack. She was filled with combustible
and besmeared with turpentine. Several
trains of powder were laid and one OF
the crew was easily induced to strip
himself, and lie down upon deck, with
lighted match, ready at a moments warn
ing to ignite the vessel.
AT two O'Clock in the morning they
weighed anchor,an dropped slowly down
with the tide. The nearest OF the three
ships was the Asia of sixty-four guns,
whose tall spars and towering hull no
sooner loomed upon the eager gaze OF
Captain Talbot's hardy band, than they
steered directly for her broad-side. Un-
suspicious of any danger, it was but mo-
ment before her little adversary had flung
her graphing irons, that the Asia fired |;
and then scene ensued that battles de-
scriplion. From the depth, as it were,
of profound silence, there echoed the rev.
erbation of cannon, the cries o. the
wounded, and the piercing shouts of alarm
and revenge. In an instant the darkness
Of cloudy night gave place to a red
flashing glare that revealed the fort, the
waters, and the fields, with the distinc.
ness of MONDAY (; and brought into vivid
relief The huge vessels of war now alive
with their startled crews, WHO fastened
to the relief of the Asia some pouring
water on the rising flames, others disen-
gaging the fire ship from her side, and
not few intentat the guns, which hurled
an incessant shower of balls at the boat IN
which the daring originator of this sudden
conAagration. was propelled by his brave
men toward the nearest shore. Although
lighted in their aim by apyramld OF fire,
of all the shot from the three vessels, but
two struck the crowded bark of fugltlves.
Captain Talbot, however, in his anxiety
TO render the experiment certain, had lin
gered among the burning tlmbers OF the
fire ship, and was the last to escape, the
seaman who applied the match having,
according to a previous understanding,
Immediately jumped overheard and been
picked up by his expectant comrades.
When, therefore, the boat reached the
Jersey shore in safety, the appearance of
the gallant leader was frightful and his
sufferings intense. His skin was Bills.
tered from head 10 foot, his dress almost
entirely consumed and his eyes sight gone.

Curing Hams.

The editor Of the Germanto,rn 1ele-
graph gives the following as the best
method of curing hams, and its excellence
is fully corroborated by his own expe-
rience TO one gallon of water, take one
and half pounds of salt, one-half pound
of sugar, one-half OF. saltpe,re. In this
ratio the pickle to be increased to any
quantity desired. 81.
Let these be boiled together until all
the dirt from the salt and sugar, (which
will not be a little, rises to the top aud is
skinned off. Then throw il into tub
TO cool, and when perfectly cool pour it
over your beef or pork to remain the usual
time, say four to six weeks, according 10
the size of the pieces. The meat must
be well covered with the pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two days al
ter killing, during which time il should be
slightly spriukled with powdered sal,Pe-
ire.
Several of our friends have not boiled
the pickle, and found it TO answer well.

She has struck" cry twenty voices at


once. ....-.--
Now she rises with a coming wave,
and now settles down again with a yio-
lence that brings her topmasts on the
deck.
Out with the boats is the order on
board the Semiramis, and the men fly TO
execute it.
Another wave lifts the schooner--an-
other fearful crash--she rolls over--her
decks are rent asunder--her crew are
struggling in the wa,er--and with them
(every man shudders at the sight hum
dreds of negroes, manacled TO each other
and fettered to the lower deck, are shot
out into the foam.
Bravely pulled the seamen in the boats
of the Semiramis but two strong swim
mers, who had fought their way through
the boiling surf, were all they saved. So
slight was the build of the little schooner,
that she had gone TO pieces instantly on
striking and within sight Of the Semi
ramis, within hearing of the death-shrleks
that rent the air from sir hundred and
thirfy human beings, who shackled TO-
gelher with heavy irons, were dashed a
mong the waters, ard perisAed slow
and helpless death, two only of their gao
lers surviving to tell of the number that
had sunk!
Surely this sad tale may at least be
added to the catalogue of ills produced by
England's good intentions in striving to
suppress the slave trade.
