ston he wanted He then ordered the life boat 10 he
lowered and selected Mr. Pumpkins 10 take charge of
her, which he did without hesitation the boatwan and
two other seamen volunteered to accompany him.
Mr.. Bowman describes the cool conduct Of Temp

the Jesse stephens the boat full OF water and
nearly swanping he baed her out and then cot all the

50 The Boston Herald has the following
| A few weeks since. about the 1st o
the year 1853. a young married lady re
siding in Dover street. called at store
where among other articles, linen is sold
The lady was politely received at ths
store, and made, we understand, few
small purchases. After she had paid for
the articles SO purchased, she was invi'
ted by the senior partner of the shop &c
walk to the farther end ofthe place. where
he in very unbecoming manner ac'
cused her of stealing. and forthwith pro-
ceeded to search her, but found nothing
of his upon her. and then, without apolo-
gizing. allowed her to depart. The lady
was so overwhelmed with the accusation
of the shopman. that she was taken sick
with the fever, and for two or three weeks
was confined to her room with a very
dangerous illness. f gti
The shopman, during her illness, heard
of it. and it is reported that while the la
dy was sick, he sent note to her, in
which he made lame apology for his
rudeness, and asked permission to call at
the house and to further explain the
matter. No notice of the note was taken
until one day last week, the lady having
recovered her illness, note was sent to
The dealer in diaper that the lady would
see him. On the appointed evening the
friends, neighbors and associates of the
family were assembled in front parlor of
her residence, which was brilliantly light
ed
About eight o'clock the shopman arri-
we'd and was politely received by the hus-
band of the lady, and usher.d into the
back palor, where he was seated, when,
some ten minutes after. the folding doors
between the two parlors were thrown open.
aud Il blaze of light met his astonished
gaze, as we'll as a numerous assembly of
the beauty and fashion of Dover street.
At this moment he husband of the lady
stepped forward, and calling the shopman
by name. introduced him to the ladies pre-
sent as the gentleman who had accused
his wife of stealing, and who was the
cause of her late dangerous illness. The
ladies and gentlemen present gaz d at the
fellow for few minutes, whea the gen
tlemnn of the house opened the street
door, and one of the young ladies then
commenced upon the planorforte the
Rogue's March. The storekeeper took
the hint, and suddenly disappeared from
the house. We have reason to believe
that some time will elapse ere he accuses
another customer of larceny. His shop
is marked and numbered, and will be re-
membered and avoided by all who were
present on the occasion.

miles distant. where he squandered his
hard earnings in drinking, and generally
became so intoxicated that he could hard
ly mount his horse. But the animal
knew his masters failing. and usually
succeeded in bringing him safely to his
house. But one night the man fell off in
the mud, when about half way home
The fall cut his head severely, and he lay
with his foot in the stirrup so that the
poor horse could not move without tread
ing on him. After standing patiently for
some time, he became vexed with his
beastly master, and turning his head gave
him hearty shaking. This reused the
man from his stupor but his hurt was so
severe that he could not rise-though he
tried to do so-till the horse took hold of
his collar, and raised his head nearly to-
the saddle, when he contrived to crawl
upon his back and was carried carefully
home.

To MULTIPLY THE PorAro CRoP.-The
Gardeners Chronicle says the potato may
be multiplieda hundred fold. ANY plau-
sible way of increasing the amount of
this valuable esculent is deserving atten-
lion. There is no department of agricul-
ture, in fact no department of any art or
science is more nearly allied TO health and
happiness than the proper cultivation of
roots and fruits as human food. We quote
as follows:
1t appears not to be generally known
that the potato plant may be propogated
more abundantly and with greater ease
than most other plants. The shoots pro-
duce roots natural at every joint below
the ground, when planted in the usual
way, To plant for propagation small

or ten days they will be well rooted plants,
and planted at the distance that potatoes
are generally planted, will produce crop
of tubers in eight, ten or twelve weeks
(accordiug to the kind equal TO that
produced from tubers, and when propa-
ted in this manner, plants may be OBJ
tained in greater quantities.
A more simple way will be to place the
tnbers in a similar manner, as before sta

the soil, to take up the tubers and strip
off the shoots from them; there will be
six or more beautifully sooted plants. just
in order for final planting; replace the tu.
bers as before, which may be repeated al
least four times. and this will produce
sufficient plants from four or FIVE tnbers
of moderate size, to plant rod o
ground at a distance that tubers are ge
1erally planted. Lateral shoots taker

Hawks, in a,lecture before the historical
Society of that city, related the following
story. illustrative OF female heroism. =
" Among those who formed part of the
settlement during the Revolutionary strug-
gle, was poor widow, who, having bu-
ried her husband, was left in poverty,
with task upon her hands of rails
ing three sons. OF these two eldest. ere

and she struggled on with the youngest
as best she could. After The fall oi
Charleston. and the disastrous defeat oi
Col. Bulford, of Virginia, by Tarleton,
permission was given 10 some four, or five
American females to carry necessaries
and provisions and administer some re-
lief TO the prisoners confined on board the
prison-ship and in the Jails of Charleston.
This widow was one of the volunteers on
this errand of mercy. She was admitted
within the city. and. braving the horrors
of pestilence, employed herself TO the ex-
tent of her humble means in alleyiating
the deplorable sufferings of her country
men. She knew what she had to encoun-
ter before she went but, notwithstanding.
went bravely on. Her message of hu-
manity having been fulfilled. she. left
Charleston on her return but, alas her
exposure to the pestilential atmosphere
she had been obliged to breath had plan
ted in her system the seeds of fatal dis
sease, and ere she reached her home, she
sank under an attack of prison fever. a
brave martyr TO the cause of humanity
and patriotism. That dying mother, who
now rests in an unknown grave, thus left
her only son. the sonl survivor of his fami'
", to the worlds charity: but little did
she dream. as death closed her eyes. the
future of tha orphan boy. The son be-
came the President of this free Republic,
