“ Did I ever tell you of my adventure with a
mem. iid?”
“ A mermaid !—No never: I should like migh
tily to hoar it, Captain Quizzle.”
“ |t is the most remarkable of all my adven
tures ; I wonder I have not told you it.”
“ You have so many strange stories ; your life
must have been an eventful one. —Pray let us
have it, Captain.”
“ Well, — I traded for several years in the
Eastern Archipelago. The swarms ol clusters
<if Islands thereabouts are amazing ; not a tenth
part of them are ever visited by human beings,
and consequently all the strange things in the
animal and even the vegetable creation are to
he found there ; monsters, as we call them, seem
to congregate amidst those delicious spots, he
cause they are there out of the reach of man’s
destructive power. You have heard ofthe Broh
dignag hutterflower discovered by Sir Stamford
Rallies in an island of the Archipelago, at a mere
sight of which one* of his I liudu servants died of
fright;—calyx like the dome of St. Paul’s;
pistols like good sized fir trees; pollen in such
prodigious quantity that wild beasts are often
smothered in it. Sir Stamford likewise met with
the Dugong, or mermaid. He could only get a
dead specimen ; 1 have often seen the animal n
live ; 1 have shaked hands with one, for they are
exceedingly gentle creatures. All these things
are now pretty notorious- But besides these,
unicorns are so plentiful (though they can never
be taken alive, as you all know,) that their horns
are used as walking sticks by the respectable
Malays, and canes by the schoolmasters. The
Malay boys require a vast deal of banging to
get their alphabet properly, the letters are so
difficult to sound, (their mouths often grow awry
in the attempt,) and the unicorn’s horn saves
trouble, one stroke of it raising twenty large
blisters. Then they have tooth picks made of
gritlins’ claws—but to the mermaid.
“ 1 had often heard of mermaids in different
parts of the Archipelago, but I did not credit
the stories told me by the native rascals, who
are desperate liars. A gray headed old man,
however, one dav, upon my taxing him with de
ceit upon this point, assured me he had seen
one ; and further fold me, that if 1 was desirous
of occuiar proof, he could direct me to a spot
where 1 should be pretty sure to meet with one
of these water nymphs.
1 gladly accepted the offer, and he directed
me logo alone to one of the little inlets on the
eastern side of the isle of Billiton (I was then
on the island of Banca,) where he said, these
ladies often disported themselves of an evening,
lie cautioned me to he on my guard, and to
keep out of their reach, for they were apt to
take liberties with gentlemen —that is, loscrab ’i
out their eves, slice them in half with a sudden
twitch of their tail, and so forth.
“ Accordingly, the very next day, I procur
ed a meive boat, which could he paddled by one
person, armed myself with sword and pistol, but
privily launched my frail bark into the blue
deep, to.cross the strait of (las par.
“ When 1 was equipped, I could not help
laughing at the expedition 1 was setting out up
on. However. 1 could but do as many have
done, whom curiosity has prompted to be spec
tators of the washing of the lions at the tower,
on the first of April: that is keep my folly to
myself.
“ I reached the island indicated by my gray
bean! Mentor ; it was a sort of quinquangular
rock, with a coat of the richest mould, absolute
ly swarming with birds, glittering with flowers
and shrubs of variegated tints, and a magazine
of odours. Had it been a circular form, its cir- '
cumference might have been a mile and a half
or two miles. It was evident that human steps
were rarely imprinted upon its luxuriant turf.
“ Drawing my light bark on a slope ofthe
isle, I set it on end, and propped it with a paddle,
to serve me as a temporary hut, fori was deter
mined to wait some time the issue of the adven
ture, before 1 returned and gave the old Malay
a horsewhipping which I was resolved to do, if it
appeared that he had fooled me.—l remained
here two or three days, till I began to bo de
'onred by ennui at this Robinson Crusoe like
hfc. I W as almost continually walking along
the margin of the sea, picking up shells, pebbles,
‘•’eeds, and other things of the kind, but saw no
thing of the maids of the deep.
“ One evening, however, just at that glorious
Period of it, when especially in Eastern climate
a kind of preternatural and enchanted silence
reigns around, and when every object appears
to emit, as it were, a golden lustre, as if restor
mg some of the light it had absorbed in the day
irom the departed luminary,—on turning a sharp
curve of the islet, I was startled by a shriek,
and perceived, rather indistinctly, two hands
rai»ed above the surface of the water, at a short
distance from the shore, and momentarily, a wo
man s head popped up and down, as if the indi
ndual was drowning. In the suddenness of as
tonishment, I forgot that I was on an uninhabi-
ted spot, and, at the moment, felt an almost ir
resistible impulse to rush into the smooth water
to rescue the sinking victim, thinking it was a
woman. Fortunately, 1 recovered my recollec
tion in time, and stood still to wait the result.
The hands gradually sunk tremblingly beneath
the surface, the circles disappeared and all was
again still.
“ Whilst I stood musing, mv eyes rivetted to
the spot where 1 had beheld what I now began
to believe might be a phantom of the fancy, a
loud, wild, but musical and merry burst oflaugh
ter drew my attention to another side, where I
saw, as if wading in the shallow water, a tall,
slender, but beautifully proportioned female, of
an olive complexion, and with exceedingly long
dark hair, which she was gracefully employed
in winding about her head and temples. 1 walk
ed to the edge ofthe beach opposite to her, and
taking my stand, in order to observe her the
more narrowly, 1 was again saluted by a laugh,
which, though somewhat louder than we are ac
customed to hear from young ladies in drawing
rooms, was quite feminine in its tone, and un
accountably bewitching in its general charac
ter: it was neither a titter nor .a horse-laugh,
hut equidistant from both, the voice reminded me
ofthe liquid notes of musical glasses. Never
did 1 behold more lovely features than I now
gazed on with intense and growing interest. The
eyes were unusually large, dark and penetrat
ing ; but the aspect of the face altogether was
soft and gentle. It was, indeed, a face which, if
nature made, the die had been destroyed.
“ 1 held out my hands ; she laughed again &
held out hers. This was a trying situation, and
1 felt such a desire to draw nearer and converse
(if I could) with my fair incognita,—whose un
willingness, on her part, to approach, evidently
seemed to be the result of.
innocence and virgin modesty,
That would he wooed and not unsought be won,
that I several limes was near wetting my feet.
But in one of the lady’s quick motions, unfor
tunately—fortunately for me —there appeared,
a short distance in her rear, the sharp edge of a
large fish tail, shaped like that of a huge salmon’s.
This discovery instantly had n wonderfully
sedative effect upon me. 1 dare say the lady,
fish saw in mv countenance the consequence
which her train entailed upon me, and perhaps
attributed it to its true cause; for with an ap
pearance of arch bash fulness, she turned about,
and casting a leering look at me, soused into the
water, and was gone in a twinkling.”
“ Astonishing ! —But now really, Captain
Quizzle, is this true ?”
“ True !—so help ”
“ Well, well; don’t swear, don’t swear. Pray
go on.”
“ Well, thought I, my doubts are now at an
end. Here I am, —not asleep, nor out of my
senses ; and if I have not seen a mermaid, why
then, ”
“ But did she come again ?”
“ You shall hear.—lt was singular enough,
that 1 dreamed I should see a mermaid the night
before, and that made me, at first, suspect that 1
was really asleep when she really appeared ;
for I remember a curious occurrence of a per
son s dreaming he was awake when he was all
the while asleep, and as the story is not long, and
as I may forget it; I will tell —”
“Nevermind that; another time will do for
that; I want to hear the end of this most extra
ordinary adventure.”
“ You shall hear it. I saw no more ofthe wa
ter nymph that night, but 1 was punctual in my
attendance the next evening at the same place.
1 did not wait long before I heard, from the
other side of a projecting angle of the rocky
islet, an air warbled in such an enchanting strain
that I dare not move from the spot on which I
stood, to ascertain whence it came, lest 1 should
lose a note of it. Its ( fleet upon my whole sys
tem I can only describe by supposing that some
subtle stimulating fluid passed through every
nerve from my brain to my toe. You have re
marked the restlessness of a cat when a violin is
bowed so as to prolong its sweetest tones, this
will give you some idea of my suffering, for such
it was.”
“ Astonishing ! This account confirms ex
actlv to the old notions of the mermaid, who
was reported to sing like a Siren.
“ Exactly. She appeared to me just as the
mermaid represented in old pictures, except that
I saw no comb nor looking glass. But to pro
ceed.
“ When the air ceased, I hastened to the quar
ter whence it proceeded, and there recognized
the same charming face and form, and was
moreover, saluted with the same laugh. 1 re
solved to address the sea-lady. I knew the
Malay language well, and had a smattering of
most of the dialects of the Archipelago , and I
thought if she could speak at all, she was more
likelv to know some of these than any other hu
man tongue. To mv delight as well as sur
prise, I found she understood and talked Ma
lay ; but she articulated in a very peculiar man
ner, somewhat like the mode in which persons
born deaf and dumb enunciate what they are
' laboriously taught to utter.
“ And now comes the most extraordinary
part of my story.
“ She gave me an account of the sub-aque
ous regions, which excited my astonishment,
whether true or false will never be determined,
for no human visitant could get back again to
tell us. She gave me to understand that a vast
depth in the ocean, there was another atmos
phereon which the water rested, like our atmot
phere upon the sea. I imagine this must be the
interior world, of which various phenomena on
the surface of the earth afford manifest indica
lions. Her description of this interior world
was perfectly fascinating : it must be a real
paradise. Owing to the density of the atmos
pheric medium, and the absence of the princi
ple of gravitation of terrestrial attraction, men,
and even houses and castles, could float in the
air without being liable to any injury by dash
ing against one another, or what we call ‘ fall
ing down.' The temperature ofthe air, she in
formed me, was invariably the same ; perpetual
spring, or rather summer, prevailed every
where ; and. in short, all was pure enjoyment.
What surprised me more than any thing else
was, that she said there were inhabitants of this
upper world there, and amongst the rest an Eng
lishman — Orang Ingleez , as she expressed it.
“ How did they get there ?”
“ Avc, how did they get there ?—precisely j
■ I the question I asked her. She replied that it
r was undoubtedly a matter of difficulty, for the
i descent was a very long one, and a living body
. must sink very rapidly to avoid suffocation it -
. fore it reached the nether air ; but w'hen then .
i the said, the lungs soon became habituated to
s breathe it. She instanced herself, who could
breathe both atmospheres, which was notpossi
> ble, if the lower one required a peculiar set of
i organs to inhale it. All that was necessary, she
i said, was to exclude the air as much as possi
. ble from the lungs, hold the breath, and if a per
[ son was carried down with velocity, there was
J '
, no danger ; and she offered if 1 choice to risk
f the experiment, to be my guide and propeller.
' And then she renewed her enchanting descrip-
I tion of the central paradise, where nothing dies,
. where pleasure never tires, and novelty is ever
I new:
: Where love is liberty and nature law.
, She even expatiated on the delights of the jour
ney itself, the luxurious delirium of the rapid
whirl, the sights beheld in the passage, the glit
tering treasures of the deep, the vegetable won
ders of the marine world and the tribes of curious
, and harmless beings that sport upon the confines
: ofthe two regions, I have often thought of this
conversation when your daughter, Miss Green
finch, has been playing and singing the pretty
! air—
Follow me and we will go
i Where the rocks of coral grow,” Arc.
“ The Mermaid’s song!”
“ The same. I had no great stomach to make
the trial, however, having a good many unset
tled accounts, I did not like lo be the means of
■ ruining some honest fellows, who were my credi
tors, and, besides, I did not relish the idea of be.
ing reported felo de se, so I civilly declined the
journey.”
“ Pray go on : what was the result of the
adventure ; I am in a fever to hear.”
“We grew very good friends. The sea-lady
sung me several most captivating songs, one, in
particular, was so exquisite that I thought T
should never tbrget either words or music; hut I
remember neither. We moved along quite
around the island, I walking on the margin of
the sea shore,she gracefully gliding through the
liquid mass as it by a mere act of volition, for
i she seemed to make no exertion, and her tail, —
1 thought studiously,—was kept out of view ;
you cannot imagine a more picturesque and
beautiful object than she appeared. Where
the water was deeper near shore, she sometimes
approached closer to me, but apparently always
recollected herself suddenly, and turned away
again: a semblance of bashfulness and maiden
timidity, which gradually divested me of all
fear.
“Whilst we thus communed together, my fa
culties almost entranced with the romantic no
velty of the adventure, the charming eyes and
features continually beaming upon me, the rav
ishing pictures the fair apparition drew of her
abode and of the heavenly beings by which it
...' * ~ '
was inhabited, the magic of the solitude and si
lence which reigned around us, upon which her
mellow voice broke, as it were, into a thousand
musical echoes, the nymph suddenly exclaimed
‘hark?’
“ I heard nothing.
“ ‘Almost involuntarily, I stretched forth my
hand. She glided towards me, cautiously and
timidly, and extended hers. Our hands joined.
“Instantly, I felt myself held by a giant’s
gripe, and dragged forward; the resistance I
could offer, though I was a match for most men,
was like the effect of a child. Meantime, the
dazzling features I had gazed upon with ecstacy,
darkened into the malignant r aspect of a demon.
1 was on the verge of destruction —when, unex
pectedly, one of my pistols went off in the strug.
gle; upon which she let rnc go, and bounced un
tier water, leaving me in a cold sweat, all of a
tremor, and my shoulder almost dislocated.”
“Good heavens!”
“You may be sure J did not stay much longer
on this infernal island. I soon reconverted my
hut to its proper purpose, and paddled away with
as much vigor as my wounded arm would allow,
fancying I saw a large salmon tail in every curl
•/ O ( ! m
of the wave. My old friend soon perceived in
my face, on my return, that I no longer distrust
ed the fidelity of his statement.”
“What a very extraordinary adventure, Cap
tain Quizzle ! And this is really a fact ?”
“A fact?—No.”
“No? What, is it a fiction you have been
telling us all this while?
“Every word of it.”
“Psha’l”
FROM THE LONDON MAGAZINE.
THE HERO OF THE PLAGUE.
When the plague raged violently at Marseilles
cverv link of affection was broken ; the father
turned from the child —the child from the father;
cowardice and ingratitude no longer excited in
dignation. Misery is at its neight when it thus
destroys every generous feeling—thus dissolves
every tie of humanity ! The city became a de
sert; the grass grew in the streets; a funeral
met you at every step.
The physicians assembled in a body at the
Hotel de Ville, to hold a consultation on the
fearful disease, for which no remedy had yet
been discovered. After a long consultation,
they decided, unanimously, that the malady had
a peculiar and mysterious character, which
opening a corpse might develope—an operation
which it was impossible to attempt, since the
operator must infallibly become a victim, in a
few hours, beyond the power of human art to save
him, as the violence of the attack would preclude
their administering the customary remedies. A
dead pause succeeded this fatal declaration.
Suddenly a surgeon by the name of Guyon, in
the prime of life, and of great celebrity in his
profession, rose, and said firmly, “Be it so : I
devote mvselffor the safety of the country. Be
fore this numerous assembly, I promise, in the
name of humanity and religion, that to morrow,
at the break of day, I will dissect a corpse, and
write down as I proceed what I observe."’
He left the assembly instantly. They ad
mired him, lamented his fate, and doubted whe
ther he would persist in his design. The intre
pid and pious Guyon, animated by all the sub
lime energy, religion or patriotism can inspire,
acted up to his word. He had married, and was
rich ; and he immediately made his will, dictat
ed bv justice and piety. He confessed, and at ;
I midnight received the sacrament. i
t A man had died in his house within four anc
a twenty hours. Guyon, at day-break, shut him.
f self up in the same room ;he look with him ink.
- paper, and a little crucifix. Full of enthusi.
asm, never had he felt more firm or collected.
j Kneeling beside the corpse, he wrote —“ Moul
j dering tenement of an immortal soul, not only
. can I gaze on thee without terror, but even
f with joy and gratitude. Thou wilt open to me
j the gates of a glorious eternity. In discover
. ing to me the secret cause of the terrible plague
. which destroys my native city, thou wilt enable
! me to point out some salutary remedy ; thou
wilt render my sacrifice useful. O God !” con
tinned lie, “ thou wilt bless the action thou hast
thyself inspired.”
He b egan—he finished the dreadful opera
• tion, and recorded in detail his surgical observa
tions. He then left the room, threw the papers
into a vase of vinegar, and immediately sought
the Lazzaretto, where he died in 12 hours—a
death ten times more glorious than the warrior
who, to save his country, rushes on the enemy’s
ranks, since he advances with hope at least,
and sustained, admired, and seconded by a whole
army.
Physicians who remain firm in the discharge
of their duties, while the fears of their fellow
citizens are prompting them to fly from conta
gion, display that moral courage which is far
superior to the physical energy which sustains
the soldier in battle, as mind is superior to mat
ter.

E. White & William Hagar,
EHi BSPECTFULLY inform the Printers of the I
li United States, to whom they have long been in
dividually known as established Letter Founders, that I
they have now formed a co-partnership, in said busi- I
ness, and hope from their united skill, and extensive
experience, to he able to give full satisfaction to ail
who may favor them with orders.
The introduction of machinery, in place of the tedious
and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long a I
desideratum by the European and American Founders, I
was, by American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure
of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first j
successfully accomplished. Extensive use ot the ma
chine cast letter, has fully tested and established its
superiority, in every particular, over that cast by the
old process.
The Letter Foundry business will hereafter be car- I
ried on by the parties before named, under the firm of
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. Their specimen exhibits
a complete series from diamond to 14 lines Pica. The
book and news type being in the most modem light and
style.
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. are agents for the sale of
the Smith and Rust Printing Presses, which they can
furnish to their customers at the manufacturers’ prices.
Chases, Cases, Composing Sticks, Ink, and every ar
tide used in the Printing Business, kept on sale, and
furnished on short notice. Old Type taken in exchange,
for new at 9 cents per pound.
