The PIRATE AND THE DoVE.-The
following is related by Audubon. the
celebrated traveller and ornithologist:
"a man who was once pirate, assur-
ed me that, at times, while at certain
wells dug in the burning, shelly sands
of a BeH-known key, which must be
nameless, the soft and melancholy notes
of the dove awoke in his breast feelings
which had long slumbered, melted his
heart to repentance, and caused him to
hnger at the spot in a state Of mind
which he only who compares the wretch
edness of guilt within him with the holi-
ness of former innocence, can truly feel.
He said he never left the place without
increasing fears of futurity, associated
as he was, although l believe by force,
with band of the most desperate villains
that ever annoyed the coast of Florida.
So deeply moved was he by the note Of
any bird, and especially those of the
dove, the only soothing sounds he ever
heard during his life of horrors, that
through these plaintive notes and them
alone. he was indeed to escape from his
vessel, abandon his turbulent compan-
ions, and return to family deploring
his absence. After paying hasty visit
to these wells and listen once more to
the cooing of the Zenaida dove, he pour
ed out his soul in supplication for mercy,
and once more became what one has
said to be the noblest work of God-an
honest man. His escape was effected
amid difficulties and dangers, but no
danger seemed to be comparable with
the danger of living in violation of hu-
man and divine laws; and he now lives
IN peace in the midst of friends

EVEVah dhhATaAss Of OUk OOUNIk1.
The London Christian Observer
eaakes the following impressive predic-
siess coupled with an intelligent view
of the source Of our prosperity:
America, like an eagle on the Andes
sits and surveys with ealmness and sell
satisfaction the struggle in the great
valley of the world beneath. And
while other nations are exhausting them
selves in the strife, she is accommodating
wealth and power, which, in time, un-
less some mighty revolution dash IN
pieces the whole framework Of her So
ciety, must make her the mistress OF
the world. Some of the statistics of
that vast empire, as exhibited in a con-
temporary periodical, Blackwood, al
most transcribed all the dreams of en-
thusiasm.
'.Notbing that approaches in paral-
lei to this statement, is to be found in
the history of the world. And to what,
under.di Providence, does America
owe this progress? Partly, no doubt,
to the energy Of her Saxon spirit; part
1y to the piety of many of her original
settlers; but chiefly to the large circula-
ton of the word of God among her
people; to the exercise of the right of
private judgment, and the spirit of
peace"

WT OF GERMAN LAwYER.-There
are many stratagems in war, and as
many, it may well be said, in love as in
war.
A young man of Nuremberg, who
had no fortune, requested lawyer, a
friend of his, to recommend him to a
family where there was a handsome
daughter, who was to have a large for
tune.
The lawyer agreed. But the father
of the young LADY, who loved money.
Immediately asked what property the
man had?
The lawyer said be did not knew, but
would inquire.
The next time he saw his friend, he
asked him if he had any property at
all?
No. replied he.
We'll. said the lawyer, would you
suffer any one to cut off your nose, if
they would give you twenty thousand
dollars for it?
Not for the world said he.
Sits well,' replied the lawyer, 4 had
reasons for asking
The next time he saw the girls father,
he said,-I have inquired about the
young mans circumstances. He has
indeed no ready money, but he has a
jewel, for which, to my knowledge, he
has refused twenty thousand dollars
This induced the,old man to consent
to the said marriage, which accordingly
took place; though it is said in the Sc
quel that he shook his head when he
thought of the jewel.
