■d A new marvel has made its appearance at Tiv

true, and we feel no more disposition to doubt it
le than we do Ihe existence of the sea-serpent —of
to which salt water monster, hy the way, we con
’s. aider it a very competent competitor—though Ihe
:n land snake is decidedly the must available. The
account hears, that a child two years old, at Ti»-
erton, has a serpent tongue, and hisses at all
spectators admitted to its presence, like fifty full
ia grown adders. The longue, or rather the suhsli

Having exhausted his eloquence in declaiming
against hands in churches, and hired singers in

s t “No, no, John; you should know better that I do,
for you are far more learned man,” said his rever

16 ye canna explain it, I will, sir; a chorus is just a

of second-hand furniture at auction, and that in

ie lion ot the least useful truck removed to an auc
tion room. Great was her dismay, and extreme
11 ’ her astonishment when, on the evening of the day

c j A toettcai. a di;scniption of the falls of
Niagara.—Funny Kemble had some power of
t 0 description hut she did not dare to describe the
•i- Falls of Niagara. An English tourist who has
recently visited this country, hits no such fool
ish fears. Hear him:
0 , “I visited the celebrated falls of Niagara hut
really could not see any thing so very imposing
ls about them as I had been led to believe. The great
10 breadth lakes away from the height and 1 must
re say I have seen as striking an effect produced
1S hy the fall from a common mill-dam at home, or
s one of those that run across the Hudson to sup
ply the canals. Poets and travellers call it su
blime; and lam aware that the frothy appear
ance of the water, after it has fallen, gives it a
rapid like appearance for a considerable distance,
i- but we may observe this in miniature in the com
b motion caused by the paddle wheels of a steam
boat, or in any of the falls in Britian.” ! !!
Henry A. Wise.— The editor of the Boston
Advocate, a Van Burenite “ died in the wool,”
who was at Washington last winter and acted as
Secretary to Mr. Wise’s Committee on the Ex
ecutive Departments, in noticing the death of the
wife of that gentlemen, bears the following testi
mony to his private virtues. The description
which the editor of the Advocate gives of Mr.
Wise’s political character is of course unjust, the
party fealty of the edrtor forbidding him to speak
impartially on that subject.— Baltimore C/noii
es icle ‘
The family afflictions which have fallen upon
Mr. Wise, within a space of less than three
months, have been peculiarly trying, and chal
i6i lenge the honorable sympathies even of those
against whom he has been most vehement as a
political purlizan. Mr. Wise has two distinct
characters, —As a pariizan he is ferocious, reck
less headlong, unjust, vindictive, insane, and
ch downright more lunatic than he supposes aboli
1g tion Lis to he. But in private intercourse, with
. the exception of an occasional vulgar indulgence
J ’" in profanity, he is the urbane, accomplished gen
tleman, courteous and frank, rich in conversation
hc al powers with a mind well stored with classical
and literary recollections, which he readily
commands without effort to embellish conversa
tion, and possessing a nice taste in sculpture and
>c painting, upon which he talks enthusiastically
n ’ with ease and eloquence. To all domestic and
,lc social relations ho is warmly alive, and therefore
fe 11 he must have deeply felt the afflictions that have
came upon him in clusters. Within a week last
winter at Washington, he received the news of
re he death of his former guardian and especial
'® r friend, Dr. Wise, the decease] of a brother, wc
[*' think, and the burning ofhis dwelling house, fur
niture, pictures, books, &c., with the hare escape
of his children and his family from the flames.—
The fire was first discovered hy Mrs. Wise, as
.f she approached the house returning from a drive.
The children were rescued by the servants. The
death of that lady is now announced, which must
have happened very shortly after lire return of
Mr. W. from Washington.
co Napoleon’s Gallantries.—Josephine had
!r . been divorced, and the Austrian Archduchess
:0 . trad been chosen her successor, when one of the
fc imperial chamberlains, whom I will not mention
,V hy name, requested permission to present his
;al daughter in law at court. The young lady was
la> pretty, and though distinguished by a captiva
ting air of simplicity, she was in reality us artful
i a . as Circe, bh i made her appearance at the Tui
ng lerics, at St. Cloud, at Fontainbleau, ut the thea
tres, and joined the imperial hunting parties; in
short,she went wherever she could hope to throw
herself in the way of the Emperor. On these
occasions she could see no other object but Na
n. poleon; she sighed, blushed ond affected bashful
ness, whilst, al the same lime, she was always
l e . placed where she must necessarily attract his
rn notice. One day I attended a silling of the
)r . council of Stale, at which the Emperor presided.
1( j At the close of the sitting, I went to receive his
commpads.and having taken leave of him, I step
re P * nto m y vantage, and drove homeward. 1 had
gs got no lurthcr than about the middle of the Rue
du Bac; when I was overtaken hy one of the irnpe
nt rial pages, who informed me that his Majesty
wished to speak with me. Os course, I ordered
my coachman to turn and proceed to the Tail*
eries. As I drove along, I puzzled myself in Hy
ing to guess what I could he wanted lot. I found
the Emperoi closeted with the Minister of
Police; then I was more mystified than before.—
I thought that some formidable conspiracy had
been discovered —that some grand coup d’ ctat
was to he attempted. Nothing ofthe kind. The
Emperor left the Duke do Rovjgo, and conduct
ing me to the recess of one of the windows, he
said—“ Madame dc is rendering herself
quite intolerable to mo, and the conduct of her
relations is still more odious. Her father in law
is a scoundrel, her husband a moan spirited
blockhead and, her mother is a vile intriguing
woman, hy whose art however, I am not to he
duped. As]to Madan.c de herself, her con
duct has disgusted me. The abandoned female
who unreservedly puls her virtue up to sale, is
preferable to the hypocrite, who, for motives
equally mercenary, affects a sentimental attach
ment. Now, what 1 want you to do is to call
on my chamberlain, who is your friend, (I dis
claimed the honor, and the emperor laughed) and
tell him that I dispense with his services for the
space of a year. Inform his wife that I forbid
her appearanco at Court lor six years, and make
known to the affection married couple, that to
afford them an opportunity of appreciating each
other’s excellent qualities, I give them leave to
spend six months in Naples, six months in Vien
na, and six months in any other part of Germany

THE ESCAPE: A TALE OF THE SEA.
dy this author ok Jack Marunspiice's
yarn.
List yo Landsmen all to me.”
The morning broke hazily upon the Atlan
tic, with a fresh breeze from the eastward, at
tended by-frequent squalls of light rain. The
sea had assumed that dead lead colour which
til ways attests the absence ot the sun ; and a
dark curtain of clouds that were slowly
heaving up to windward,threatened an interval
of heavier weather before the clone of the day.
About an hundred miles from that part of the
coast of South America situated between the
Brazil shoals and cape Frio,a large & beautiful
ship was dashing along under a press of can
vass. Shu had the wind abeam, and every
thing that the weather would a low •> as pac
ked on below and aloft. Oh her quarter deck
a group, consistiong of Ihe passengers and
officers of thsship, had collected to observe a
strange sail, which, since daylight, had been
discovered two or three points forward ofthe
beam.
‘Give me the glass,’ said a stout goodlook
iug middle-aged man, whose countenance be
trayed, or more properly indicated, a fondness
for glasses, and whose authoritative tone at
once christened him skipper.—Taking the
proffered instrument, he adjusted it atthe pro*'
per focus, and commenced studying the stran
ger, whose hull, by the aid of the telescope,
was but just visible, as she rose upon the crest
of the waves.
‘He’s edging away for us,’ muttered Cap
tain Bangom: just got a pull of his weather
braces; devilish suspicious craft, too.’
•A gumeatnan, from the coast perhaps,'
said Skysail.
‘The fellow thinks it’s getting too black to
windward for all his duck,’ resumed the cap
tain: ‘he’s reefing his fore topsail; and we must
follow suit.’
‘Passing the glass to a sailor at his elbow,
he took up the trumpet, and looking al the
mouth-piece for a moment, applied it to ins
lips, and gave the order to take m the stud
ding sails, royals and flying-jib. —When this
movement had been executed, Bangem again
thundered forth;
‘Man tire top gallant clewlines—clear away
the sheets—clew up—man the topsail reef
tackles and bunt lines—clear away the bow
lines; round in the braces; settle away the
billiards; clew down, haul out the reef-tackles,
and up the bunt lines; trice up the booms; lay
out and take in the second reef!’
The ever-ready seamen sprang upon the
yards, unci extending themselves along either
extremity, caught up and secured to the spar
the canvass contained between the first and
second reef-bands. When all three ol the
topsails had been reefed, the yards were
again mast-headed and trimmed the top-gal
lant sails shouted home, and the Niagara
once more freshened her speed through the
water.
In the meantime the stranger was fast com
ing down and so rapidly had he overhauled
the Niagara that dhose on board ot the latter
were able to distinguish her build and rig with
the naked eye. Site was a long, low clipper
schooner, with spars thfct seemed much 100
tight and square for the little hull out of
which they rose. Capt Hangmen had been
weighing her for some moments with the ut
most interest, when turning to Sky-sail, h ■
ordered him to hoist the ensign. ‘Now,’ said
he, ‘we ll see what hunting the fellow wears.
Ah, there it goes! the stars and stripes.’ A
rolling billow of smoke rose from the howsot
the schooner, and the report of a gun thun
dered along the breeze.
•Man the weather main-braces; clear away
the bowliness; put the helm down; case offthe
jib sheet!’ shouted Bangem; and in another
moment the Niagara was lying to, with the
main topsail to the mast. The skipper again
resumed the spy-glass: but scarcely had he
raised to flts eye, when relinquishing it to
another he seized the trumpet and in a voice
that betrayed unusual excitement, he sang
out. ‘Haul aft the jib-sheet!—hard up, hard
up!
•Hard up!’ answered the man at the wheel
and the obedient ship fell rapidly off before
the wind.
‘Lay aft to the braces!’ said Bangem; ‘meet
her now, boy.'
‘She’s got the lee helm,’ was Ilia immediate
reply. ‘Steady as you go—steady so.’
‘Steady so, Sir,’responded the steersman.
The sullen report of a gun told how the
stranger had received this monceuvru; and
when the smoke rolled off to leeward, an A
inerican ensign was no longer at his peak.
Before the Niagara had been kept away, she
was running along with the wind abeam; the
stranger was on her weather how, and head
ink so as to near her at each moment, and
eventually cut her off; but now the former had
asurned the sane position with regard to the
wind as the latter, and both vessels were run.
ing the breeze sharp on the quarter. There
were hut few questions asked on board the
Niagara, the unlooked tor deviation from her
proper course, and the subsequent manatuvres
of the schooner, at once told the real or sut
pected charactor of the vessel in chase; & the
passengers gathered about the taflrail, regard
ing v/ith tearful silence the little object ot their
fears., that come down clambering and cutting
the waves’ like some hungry monster of the
deep after its retreating prey.
‘Gentlemen,” said Bangem, it would be
superfluous for me to tell you the character of
vessel: yuu all know it. and you also know
what mercy to expect if we fall into their
hands. A stern chase is a long chase, and as
the Niagara sails belter with the wind well
aft, I have given her, her fastest paint: we arc
now hearing for the coast of South America,
and must keep out of Ins clutches as long as
we can. If Providence does not send us de
liverance in the mean lime, why.it i-.- even bet
ter to perish on the reels, than die hy the
knives otyon butchers,
j * Another gun from the pirate boomed over
! the water, but the shot frill harmless astern of
the Niagara. ‘ Ay,blaze away,you vagabond!
muttered an old veteran, who was assisting in
running out of a stern port the only gun on
hoard; ‘every shot you have is tour f*-thorns off
your lo ;.’
‘lf we were eight hours later, we might be
able to give her the slip during the night,’
said Bangem; 'hut if we continue to move as
long at this rate, we shall he hit’ll and dry on
the coast of Brazil before the smr goes down.’
Still the scopuer kept overhaul ing the ship,
but his advantage was not as perceptible as
before; every thing held out the prospect of a
long chase; but so intently was the stranger,
bent on gaining her, that he sent aloft and
bent his slight top-gallant sail, although the
wind was blowing a perfect gale, and shortly
afterwards men wore seen on his top.sail.yard,
turning out the reefs; As soon os Bangem
perceived this, he gave the order to turn both
reefs out of the topsails, and get starboard
fore-top mast-studdmg-guil ready for setting.
—ln a few moments, an additional quantity of
canvass was spread along the booms of the
Niagara and the gallant vessel rushed like
some wild leviathan through the rolling sea,
dashing aside its angry waters, and leaving
broad streaks of boiling foam behind.
‘Give him a,round nhot, tikysai'/,’said Ban
gem; ‘we must try amt cripple him, or it's all
day with us.’
‘Ah, ay, sir,’ mutter’d the tar, as he squin
ted along the sight, and elevated the gun for
a lung shot: the match was applied, and away
sped the iron.’
“Well done old ’tin!’ shouted SkysaiJ, as
the splinters flew from the bulwarks of the
pirate.
‘Try it again, my hearty!’ continued Bang
tin.‘give him a stand of gra/e along with it
■ ir time.’
The schooner yawed and fit ed, hut again
its shot fell harmless along side>'f the chase.
‘There goes Ins slu’n'sail said the mate, as
two delicate spars glided out, as if hy magic,
from cither extremity ofhis topsail yard,while
in anulhei moment a sheet of light canvass
arose and was extended on either side of his
bellying topsail. The pursuer had {gained
considerably on the pursued during lire’ last
halt' Lour; and Bangem who stood watching
her progress With the eye of an eagle, now jot
down from the horse-block, mid gave the or
der to set the starboard lower and all the uy
gollant-stu’nsails. The seamen exchanged
glances in] amazement, but it was only lor a
moment; and the next beheld them spread in
different parts ofthe rigging, making preparu- •
tion lo heap an additional pile of canvass up- I
on the spars of the trembling ship. ‘Haul
taut, rig out, and hoist away/’ But scarcely •
had the halliatds been belayed, when snap l
wont the booms ofthe top gallant and yard of 1
the lower studding sail. ‘Lower away—haul
down!’ shouted Bangom; ‘make those sails
up afresh, point the spare booms, and gut them 1
ready for setting again/
The two vessels continued to fly rapidly
toward the coast of Brazil, find the pirate still ‘
continued to gain on the chase, ‘allllu’ he yaw- I
cd and fired at an interval of every half hour. 1
Hud the Niagara hauled her wind on cither 1
tack, she would have soon become the prey of •
the schooner, os she sailed faster with the ■
wind abeam, Bangem accordingly thought t
it much better tu keep nearly before the breeze I
as the pursuer would then have to deviate t
from his course to bring his guns lo bear, and t
consequently deaden at intervals his advance, >
us an escape was now almost hopeless. The I
cutlasses and fire-arms were got up on the i
quarter-deck, and every preparation made by
the passengers and crew of the vessel for a
desperate defence. There were in all about i
twenty lighting men on board ofthe ship, and
judging hy the masses that. blackened the
schooner’s deck, she must have hud five times 1
that number.
For two hours longer the chase was kept '
up, and at the expiration of that lime the pi- -
rate was within about three quarters of a mile.
Bangem had drawn his men up, and exhorted .
them to stand by him like Americans in ihe
approaching conflict, when he was interrupted j
hy an approaching crash, and the mizon-top
mast, top-gallant-mast, and all, went hy the j
board.
‘Axes and knives here!’ shouted he, al the J
top ot his voice; ‘cut, men cut! stir yourselves
me livelies! the vi lain is coining down like a
race-horse'/
Instantly the lanyards and stays wore sev-
ered, or carried away, the braces and howl- (
ins unrove and the wreck floating far astern ;
but ihe speed ofthe Niagara was hy this ac- (
cidenl considerably lessened, and Hie schoon- <
er. perceiving this accident put down her
helm, and threw a raking broad side among (
among the .iggingand spars of the unforlu- j
nate vessel. Al this moment the cry of
"Breakers'!” was heard from the forecastle, (
anil an exclamation of horror burst from eve- j
ry lip—hut one. There was death on every j
hand, and the forms that peopled the decks ;
ofthe Niagara stood as mule us statues enve- I
loped in the silent stupor of despair. (
‘Where away!’ asked Bangem; and the
cool self-possession of that voice seemed to j
mock the dangers hy which they were sur
rounded. )
‘Right ahead,’ replied the look-out,’ and on ‘
both bows.’
‘True mused the commander, bending hi*
eye in the given direction, ‘you n ay hear them
roar above the howling ofthe wind and waves
even at this distance.’ *
‘Shall I bring her by the wind, Sir?’ asked r
the steersman. r
‘No!’ was the stern and determined reply, I
and another volley of iron crashed among tlie s
spars of the Niagara. So eagerly hud the
pirate pursued the chase, that the danger r
ahead remained to him undiscovered. The c
day was unusually dark and emudy, and the
smoke rolling to leeward, perhaps screened
the reel from his view. However, he saw it j
hot, and now came rushing down upon the j
crippled ship,confident m his superiority.
.‘Ease the helm down!’ said Bengali), keep-
ing his eye steadily upon the pursuer; ‘and ‘
now, men, do your duty! The Niagara yawed,
and the flying jib-boom of the schooner burst c
thiougli her bulwarks about the niizen-chains.
‘Lash him there, my lands! shouted Bangem
in a voice that was heard above every thing )
beside; ‘lash him there! and if we perish, the I
blood-hounds shall keep us company. ‘Hard |-
up again!’ j
The obedient craft one? more fell offbefore -
the wind, and rushed onward toward the break- 1
ers, that roared and foamed not more than a [
hull mile in advance, dragging in her wake the j
light-built schooner, like some giant-spirit of t
death urging an ignohler being tu the shades i
of darkness. A howl of frenzy, that broke 1
from the deck ofthe corsair, told they had for ?
the first time become acquainted with the pe- ;
nl that awaited them; and twenty dark tonne
sprang out upon her bowsprit, armed with
axes and knives, to free themselves t om the
hold of the ship. 1
‘Now, my lads, give it to the bloodhounds! [
shouted Bangem. i
A volley was the reply, and every eoul with- (
out the schooner’s cutwater perished; as many ‘
more sprang to take their places, but again
the fire from the Niagara’s quarter deck swept ,
them hway, like chaff before the wind of hea- *
ven. In ’the meantime, both vessels were
rushing madly toward the reel; they were not ,
a hundred yards from the breakers, and both
par* tea cessed hostilities, to gaze upon the
foaming waters and iron rocks that in auoili
moment threatened to dash them to eternit
Hope had left every bosom. The pirates i
longer endeavored to separate tliemselv
from the Niagara, hut stood pale and tret
bhng, waiting with horror lo pity the last da
forfeit of (heir lives. Both vessels were fin
within the influence of the reef the lon
heavy rollers, in conjunction with the win
were driving them rapidly upon the ro'cli
when I,he schooner’s bowsprit, shrouds, bo
stays and all gave way; the liberated yens
swung round and struclf, while the Niugati
forced by the ledge, unscathed. The ne;
billow dashed the pirate higher upon the ret
where She was hid from view by the roarin
and foaming seas that hioko over her devote
hull. The crash of her falling spars was the
heard, and the slnieks and wails of thedruwt
mg wretches rose, for oho moment, above tli
thunder of the surf; but it wap only for aim
menr, and they were lost forever. When th
Niagara passed the cluster of rocks upo
which the schooner went to pieces, she wa
hurled along m the very centre ofthe principt
reef] where the eddies and currents renderei
her totally unmanageable. 6ho no longc
obeyed her helm, but drifted along a disable
ihing, at the sport of the winds and waves, th
sea roaring ihe while like thunder around he
and the spray brealting in dense masses ove
her.
There were ton minutes of appalling anxie
ly, during which every one expected lo fee
her strike against the rocks; yet (or ton mm
tiles more she continued lo drift through then
in salely. The eenire and principn ledgi
was passed, and she began to fall offbefore tin
wind. A beam of hope lighted up (liecuunte
nance of Bangem, He sprang upon the bul
warks, mid cast one quick, searching glance
at the sea arolind him.
’Staboard a iiitlef
‘Stnbuard a little,’ answered the man at the
wheel.
•Steady so, meet her.’
‘Meet her it is, sfr,’ was the reply.
For five middles more she Mew through the
intricacies of the,reef without donation.
•Port, portl give her the port helm, quick!'
shouted Bangem.
‘She's got it all, sir,’ was the response; and
the gallant ship glided by llio lust rock tint
threatened her destruction, and passed salely
into the still water between the reel and the
main. R. B.
