The sufferer was but youth. He had blue eyes

man to be white; but in slave States, distinctions
of color exist less to the eye than to the mind,
and it is difficult to discriminate. He might
have been only an invisible black. 1t did not
occur to Herman to inquire; because as q
Psychologist he had not ascertained that the
nerves of negroes were less sensitive than those
of men properly so called; and because, as q
psychologist, he would have supposed that the
sutferings of negro slave under the circum-
stances might be, at least in one respect, even
more severe than those of man in durance
merely for limited term of years. since the
latter might reasonably expect in the course of
his mortal life to get beyond the power of his

In respect to material great changes have been

A FEMALE /" CRUSOE."

The people of the Giant West are rapidly
outstripping the rest of creation. Not content
with growing the largest men, the fastest
women, and the most precoclous specimens of
" Young America in the Republic, they send
forth "lost Bourbons,' and veritable female
Robinson Crusoes, TO amaze and astonish the
world. We say genuine and veritable, because
the English I" Crusoe" was myth of that most
prolific romancer, Defoe, in whose adventures
there was no more truth than there is IN the
adventures Of Sinbad, ard Marryatt's tale of
the Little Savage" What was fiction in
England is now fact in America, and we can
now boast of a genuine American female
Crusoe," of whose adventures and existence
there is no shadow of uncertainty or doubt.
From the long and minute details of the lady's
adventures which have appeared in the West
ern papers, we collect the following we'll authen
tcated facts:
On the 18th Of the present month, the
schooner Azelle arrived at Racine in the State
of Wisconsin, having on board Miss Sophia
Richardson, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, who
for the last three years has been living as
SOLITARY as Selkirk," upon desolate, unin-
habited island in Lake Superior, without seeing
during that period of time the face of any hu-
man being. The young lady is described by a
correspondent of the New York Times as intel
ligent, refined, well educated, and good looking,
although roughened and Drowned by three years
exposure.
She was passenger on board vessel which
left Cleveland, Ohio, in the month Of May,
1856, bound for Green Bay, distant part of
Lake Superior, with cargo of hardware, pro
visions, and dry goods. During the. voyage,
they were overtaken by terrible storm, and
in consequence of the unfortunate coincidence
of the captain and crew having been "over-,
taken about the same time by liquor, the yes-
sci struck upon line Of low and Jagged rocks,
near a small desert island. With galantry
peculiarly American. the only liie-preserver on
board was given to Miss Richardson. A.falling
spar killed the first mate, the captain jumped
overheard, and of the remaining four who con-
stituted the crew, none were saved. Miss Rich
ardson was saved by remaining on the wreck, us
she did not trust to the lifepreseryer. The
storm finally abated, leaving the wreck high
upon the rocks at the distance of nearly one
mile from the island.
She escaped from the vessel by the aid Of the
llife-preseryer and q raft constructed of broken
loo. Ia

ing but the dry spelling, and at that time did
not know OF what use it was. To have any
communication, or even to look off our books,
was punishable ofence--a rule which was
either enforced or neglected, according to the
leisure of the teacher
Like all other inhabitants of the Green Isle
in those days, our teacher was fond of the
crayth,r; but, unlike many of them, he was of
gentler mood when drunk than sober. Then,
and then only, he had his jokes, and we our
laughs; but as he was a respectable young
man, and member of the Presbyterian church,
that occurred but seldom, and we were sorry
for it.

THE SHAM ROCK;
RECOLLECTIONS OF IRELAND


BY SLOW JAMIE.
A DREAM
Dear sister, when a quiet nigh,
Had closed a weary day,
And soft refreshing sleep had chased
Tormenting care away,
Light fancy took me on her wing
Across the stormy main,
To visit Erin's sloping hills
And breathe her air again.
Once more heard the lavrock sing,
heard the iuneful thrush,
saw the magpie's nest amidst
The fragrant hawthorn bush.
The cuckoo on the holly tree
Discoursed il loud and free,
Where first you stood, one summer eve,
To hear his song with me.
Our early playmates sported round,
Our parents smiled once more
And little Zimpos bark announced
The beggar al the door
II little then occurred to me
That these were far away;
And some, alas, the dearest, too,
Reposing meath the clay.
The woodbine blossomed in the hedge,
Its balny sweet to yield;
The modest daisy reared its cad,
To deck the grassy field.
And yet no wild ecstatic JOY
Disturbed the throbbing breast;
pleasing calmness, shed around,
Composed the soul to rest.
Was ever harmony sweet,
Was ever scene so fair?
The morning broke-the pleasing dream
