er ship, accused him of tempting Provi-
dence to his destruction. John looked on
the matter in different light-felt con
vinced, in fact, that he was not destined to
a watery grave--and made up his mind to
follow his original intention. But he took
better precautions this time in the choice
Of a vessel--cmbarked his family in a first
class merchantman, and, after speedy
and prosperous passage Of FIVE weeks, ar
rived ia safety at New York, whence he
set out at once for the land of promise in
the Far West.
As settler, Singer did well. He bought
land on the boundary lines Of civilization,
and shrewdly squatted considerable tract
in addition He had the address to con-
ciliato wandering tribe Of Indians BY his
generosity in their time Of need, and thus
converted the usual enemies Of the settler
into friends and defenders. AS his family
grew up, they proved valuable and pro-
duetive capital, and paved his way to com
petence and Independence. His success
drew many Of his old friends after him,
and he renewed, in the forests Of America,
the associations and friendships Of his
youth in Wiltshire. In ten years, John
had grown up man Of substance and au-
thority, looked up to and respected by the
population of whole district. At that
time, his wifs's father died, leaving con-
siderable property to be divided equally
among his children. Then it was that
John Singer came over to assist in the set
tlement Of the business, and to receive bis
own legacy, and then, too, it was that We
heard the lamentable story Of the loss Of
the Camden from his own lips. This was
twenty-seven years ago, and we have not
heard Of the sturdy settler since. If he
be yet alive, he is no doubt honored as
patriarch, for the SHOWS Of nearly four
score winters have by this time settled on
his head.

Hon JOHN BELL. We see that several
of tAe Tennessee papers have raised the
name of this pure patriot and statesman
as their candidate for the Presidency. One
of them places the Hon. Washington
Hunt, OF New York, on tho ticket for the
second office. Should the opposition
unite on Mr. Belle, we have no doubt he
would be elected. Some persons doubt
that any other man could so effectually
unite the conservatives throughout the
country. Mr. Bell has host Of friends
in Mississippi, and though we cannot
promise him the State, should he be can
didate, we promise the support of the mo-
Bile band of Union patriots in Mississippi.

that what changes their instinct, and
makes them gentle and quiet, would

it is not strong perfumes, it is not

effable charm, that never-to-he-des-
