An American Grace Darling.

The New York Sunday Messenger
notices a young, intelligent and interes-
ting woman, residing within sixty miles
of New York, who has, with the assis>
lance of an aged and infrm father, saved
twenty-one lives within the last fifteen
years. The following particulars are
given: -
kate Moore is the daughter Of captain
Moore, who keeps the Light House on
Fairwealher Island situated midway be-
tween the harbors of Black Rock and
Bridgeport, Conn. The Island, contains
FIVE acres of land, and is about half mile
from the shore. Many disasters, it is
known, have occurred TO vessels driven
round Montauk Point in a storm, and
sometimes in the Sound to homeward
bound, and this lady's ear is so accurate,
it is said she can distinguish the shrieks
of the drowning mariner, and direct her
bark in the darkest night. She can trim
a boat, and manage as well as any man,
and seems to make up in tact, what she

turn out in the darkest night, to the relief
Of the sufferers. Our informant adds,
that she is a highly accomplished and
literary lady, and perfectly feminine in
her manners, and that, although she occa-
sionaIy visits New York, and other pIa-
ces in that vicinity, and has large and
most respectable acquaintance, many Of
whom know of these facts, they have
never come to the knowledge of the pub
lie before. The late lamented Major Noah,
who was remarkable for collecting the
most interesting facts, by some means be-
came acquainted with them. We also
understand that Capt. Moore and his wor-
thy helpmate have resided upon the Is
land owe, 90 years, and brought up a
family Of five children, upon salary Of
$500 year, all of whom have an excel
lent education, and that they entertain a
great many persons who visit the Island
with true, old fashioned hospitality"

BE KIND.


Be kind to thy Father-for when thou vert
young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he.
He caught the first accents that fell from thy
tongue.
And Joined in thy inocent glee.
Be kind to thy father-for now he is old,
His locks iatermingled with gray;
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold I;
Thy father is passing away. b.,
Be kind to thy Mother-for 10, On her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen;
o well may thou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy mother-fo thee will she pray,
As long as God giveth her breath,
With accents of kindness then cheer her lone
way,
Zen to the dark valley of death.
Be kind to thy Btother-his heart will have
dear,h
Ifthe smiles of thy joy be withdrawn;
The flowers of feeling will fade at their birth,
If the dew of affection be gone.
Be kind to thy brother-whefever you are,
The love Of brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far,
Than pearls from the depths of the sea.
Be kind to thy Sister-not many may know
The depth Of true sisterly love;
The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Be kind to thy father, once fearless and bold,
Be kind TO thy mother, SO near;
Be kind to thy brother, nor show thy heart cold,
Be kind to thy sister, so dear
