fearless seemed the young pilot, that reas-
surance had home in every heart-so
clear above the gale his bugle like voice
souned, as he gave his orders. "Port steady,
so-luff a point ?"
They were more than half through. The
tumbling breakers of the "punch bowl
"hog's back" had been passed; few hun
dred fathoms more, and they would be safe
from every danger. Then one quick glance
towards heaven, and the disguised girl
cried: aPort-port handp =.
The helmsman obeyed. The vessel cas-
ed off before the wind, with crash which
sent her tall spars tumbling over her bows.
Then amid the rush of waters, the curses
of officers, was heard the pilots shrill cry
''If one of you survive this wreck, go
and tell the Bitish general that Nathan
Hale is avenged, and that by woman,
toof"
And before hand could reach her, had
they wished, she leaped into the eddying
tide; and ere she sunk, the proud frigate,
with its shivered spa,s and sails, its flag
still flying, and its crew Of stout men was
going down into the cold, dark, waters, and
the murdered Hale was avenged!
And thus the brief sketch is closed
The guns sunken the frigate rest beneath
the tide of Hurl Gate; but the memory of
the Patriot Pilot lives in more than one

space warrants, and have given in full eve-
rything which relates to the Slavery ques-
ton. One of the most obnoxious features
in this Constitution is said to be the ap-
portionment, for Senator and Representa-
tives, by which apportionment the power
is intended to be secured to the pro-slavery
party. But as We cannot judge particu-
larly of the merits of that feature at this
distance we have not copied it.
Wehave heretofore published the 'Sched-
ule,' by which it is provided that the rights
of slave holders now in Kansas are not to
be affected, and under that clause, it is
plain that the issue of slaves now in Kan
sas would be also held in bondage, and in
this way, notwithstanding the so-called
slavery feature of the Constitution might
be voted down, perpetual slavery would be
entailed upon that State. We have no
doubt the getters up of this instrument so
view it, and thus are determined not to
give the people chance to vote upon the
entire instrument.
Mr.. Bell resides in Warren, Trumbull
county, and has beeen in Kansas about
four months, passing most Of his time at
Leavenworth. Mr.. Bell attended the meet
ing-an account of which is given in an
other column-at which Jim Lane made q
most exciting speech, and which the peo-
pie responded to with like excitement
The doings of the convention are condemn
ed by the decent of all parties in Kansas,
and Mr.. Bell says, so far as he could judge,
there was but one opinion among respecta-
bic men &C eitter party. The condemna-
ton of this convention is so general in
Kansas, that it will there excite surprise to
learn that the Administration sustains the
fraud, and it is not there believed that
Congress can be brought to sanction the
outrage Cleveland Herald.

Ways of Shortening Life.

Wearing of thin shoes and cotton stock
ings on damp nights, and in cool, lainy
weather. Wearing in sufficient clothing, and
especially upon the limbs and extremities.
Sleeping on feather beds in seven-by-
nine-rooms, without ventilation at the top
of the windows, and especially with two or
more persons in the same unventilated bed
room.
Surfeiting on hot and very stimulating
dinners. Eating in hurry, without half
masticating your food, and eating heartily
before going to bed every night, when the
mind and body are exhausted by the tolls
of the day and the excitement of the even
ing.
Marrying in haste, and getting and un-
congenial companion, and living the re-
mainder of life in mental dissatisfaction
Cultivating jealousies and domestic broils,
and being always in mental ferment.
Allowing the love of gain to absorb our
minds, so as to leave no time to attend to
our health. Following an unhealthy occu-
patton, because money can be made by 1t.
Being irregular in all our habits of sleep
ing and eating; going to bed at midnight
and getting up at noon. Eating too much
and too many kinds of food, and that which
is too highly seasoned.

Com IN FRANcE.-The coin of France,
until recently, has been almost exclusively
silver, very little gold being seen. Within
two or three years silver has been bought
up all over Europe at a premium, for ship
ment to India and China, and gold has
consequently been forced into circulation
to supply the place of the departed silver.
As a consequence of this, it is stated that
in the manufacturing towns of France, sill
yer change is so scarce that there is not
enough to pay the workmen with, and man
ufacturers are obliged to pay them in groups
in other words, to give five or six of
them a gold piece among them = and
which they must afterwards change into
silver, or agree to spend together at the
stores. The great establishments buy sil-
yer coin of the retail dealers at a premium
used formerly to be paid on gold. The
government has resorted to large circula-
ton of gold coins of the value of five francs.
They cannot 90 lower.

JOurneymeu Printers.

From high to low they are the same
careless, good-hearted, clever, wellinform-
ed, reckless fellows, knowing how to act
better than they do-nothing at times, yet
everything if the occasion requires, or the
fit takes them. Wherever you go you are
certain to meet one. No sooner are they
comfortable in one town, than they break
for another. And what will they not
turn their hands to? We have seen one
and the same individual of the craft min
lister in Missouri, boatman on the Wes-
tern Canal, lawyer in Carolina, sheriff
in Ohio, sailing master to privateer, an
auctioneer in New York, and pressman
in great Printing Office. Nor are these
the characteristics of the Printers in any
one country. They are everywhere the
same. The Scotch Printer, despite the
cannie wisdom of his country, is every whit
as improvident as any wild Irishman of the
craft; the phlegmatic Englishman, or 60
ahead Yankee, as great spendthrift and
rover as the amusement loving Frenchman
or Italian. Citizens of the world, all coull-
tries are alike to them. We have known
ourselves journeyman-a clever, but wild
fellow, who had travelled for ten years
through every State in Europe, changing
his profession in every country-an artist
in italy, clown in a circus through the
French Provinces, a soldie. in Austria, a
muleteer in Spain-alternately vending
maccaroni at Naples, and articles of Sertu
at Vienna, and was finally killed while ia
king part in the siege of Rome, fighting
with the insurgents under Garibaldi.
We have met them as lecturers, actors,
travelling preachers, ventriloquists-in fact
as everything. We have met on tramp in
this country, members of this rowing pro-
tession from all parts of the globe-French
men, Spaniards, Portuguese and Swedes- $
and all apparently as much at home as if
in their own country. Ardent lovers of
liberty, kingscraft and priestcraft find but
small favor in their eyes. When the Char
tist excitement was ringing in England,
the most eloquent leaders of the movement
were Printers; when the barricades were
raised in Paris, in ls4e, the compositors
cast their tipes into bullets, and fired them
at the Royalist troops. When the Ameri-
cans were at war with Mexico, half of
General Taylors regiment was composed
of Volunteer Printers, and they aoere the
bravest of his troops.

INTOLERANCE IN ITALY.-Four Roman
Catholic Priests at Pavia, in Italy, have
lately been excommunicated for denying
the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.
This town, of $4,000 inhabitants, is the
seat of large University. When the
sentence of accommodation, issued by
the Pope himself, was playcarded on the
city walls, they were all torn down by the
Police because of the popular indignation.
The Pope had forbidden the people to give
them food or shelter, but the military leu
tenant of the Province took them under
his protection, and the people raised sub
scription for their support.
