We had been in pursuit of n heavy merchantman, but a fog coming up, she was shut’in from our sight, and for more than an hour remained invisible. Suddenly, how: ever, the moon broke forth, and we saw the chase close hauled, on the very point of escaping us. We instantly made all sail, hut the wind was so uncer tain that the stranger kept his advantage, the air now might be eating its way ravenously toward it. Resides, if I paused a moment longer the fire would ouch the companion way, and all hope of escape from the cabin be cut olT. Had it been only my own life that was endan gered, I would not have hesitated in perilling it to the utmost; but when I remembered that a dozen gallant fellows from my crew, as well as a score of others from the rescued sufferers, would be involv. ed in my own fate, I could not doubt as to my duty. These reflections, however, had not occupied more than the instant which I had been throwing open successively the doors of tho different state-rooms. Alas ! nil were empty. With n heavy heart I was about to mount the companion way, when I noticed that a massy curtain at the further end seemed to divide off a smaller cabin aft of the one I wns in.— ni.'lit, ns the burning fragments sailed aloft, falling on every hand about, while ihe boat rolled wildly to and fro upon the agitated swell, we hold our breaths in momentary expectation ot death, and 1 involuntarily ejacululod— ••The Lord liuvo mercy on us nil !’ “Amen !’ said the rescued lulltor at my side. “Rut mi wore again almost miraculously pre served.

Rut 1 will not describe her gratitude, and that of her parent, to nnyse'f. whom they persisted in cons dering ihe preserver of their lives. Suffice it to say we were soon on board ; the captain deliontely resigned his own cabin to the strangers, and 1 then had leisure to learn some particulars concerning their history. They were eusily told. Mr. Thornton, the father of Isabel, was a wealthy West lndianian, and wus just returning from Great Rritan, with his daughter, who Imd been there for several years obtaining her education. Refore the Letter of Marque suiled, she hud been fitted up by Mr. Thornton in a style bordering on eastern luxury, with furniture intend, ed principally for his mansion-house at Jamaica.— Rut at this moment a message arrived, soliciting my presence with Mr. Thornton.

Intkiiesting Investigations in Greenland.— It is known that the antiquarians of England have been zealously pursuing their researches of Green, land, and they have thus far proved of exceeding interest. A cotemporary observes tlml tho most extraordinary fuel nbou'. Greenland is thu wonder ful change ol climate it has undergone. Barren soils have been reclaimed hy emigration imd indus try, and cold climate changed into warmer Intitud. s by clearing tho woods and letting in the rays of the son, but we have no instance on record of settle- meets originally in warm climates, and fruitful 8<dls becoming in centuries cold, bleak, and barren, and yet such has been the case with Greenland.— The country, although now consisting of little else than barren rocks, mountains covered with snow and ice, and vallies filled with glaciers—although its coast, now lined with floes of ice, and chequer ed with icebergs of immense size, wns once easily accessible, and its soil was fruitful, and well repaid the cultivator ol the earth. This country was dis covered by the Scandinavians, towards tho close of Ihe tenth century, and a settlement wns effected on eastern coast in tho year 982, by a company of ad- venturers from icelund, under the command of Eric the Rod. Emigrants flocked thither (rom Ice. Innd and Norway, and tite germs of European en terprise and civilization appeared on different parts of the coast. A colony was established in Green land. and it bade fair to go on and prosper. That the climate must have been mild and the soil fruit- fill, we gather from the fact that in 1400 there was not less than 190 villages. 12 parishes, and two monasteriesHind for 400 years there wns constant most gifted sons—David Funk of Richenbuch— who was an excellent musician and a capital per.

All this had passed in a moment. "Lower away tire boats—pipe their crews there, boatswain ! quick, sir, or the poor wretches will be low,’ thundered the captain. “The men hurried to their stations, fired with a sympathy equal to his own, '“Mr. Danforth,’ he said, ‘I shall give you the command uf the leading boat, spare no effort to reash them in lime—hut,’ he continued, in a whis per,‘mind the magazine !’ wildly upon roe- “For God’s sake fly !’ I cried, ‘the ship is on fire in every part—we can barely escape by tiie com- panion way—in another instant she will blow up— why hesitate ?

In these little sketches we do not propose to be profound ; only talkulivn, chatty, and simple. As wo have very little space this week, for this feature we shall continue our subject without heedless prc. face. Putnam’s early days wore spent as those of most boys placed in Iris situation in life. One of his favorite amusements was ‘bird nesting’ a cruel and useless custom, followed iu all country places with u ferocity perfectly atrocious. These hunts for nests were followed in company ; but Putnam was always the leader of the hand. On one occasion lie and his companions came across a fine nest which lodged on a frail branch of a very high tree. The tree stood apart from the others and was diflicult of climbing. Resides this, it was evident that no pole, or contrivance, would answer the purpose of getting tho nest—there was no way of obtaining it save hy venturing upon the branch, nine chances to ten, would break under the weight of the robber. No one would venture. Putnam regarded the nest and limb in silence, for some moments and at length said— •That bird has all the qualities of a soldier. It has completely fortified its home. I’ll wager there is not a hoy for ton miles round that could get that nest.’ All agreed with him. ‘I’ll try it,’ said he, deliberately taking off his jacket and rolling Iris pantaloons up to his knees. The little knot of hoys attempted to dissuade him; hut to no purpose. Go lie would. I’ll fancy tlml one of the King’s strongholds,’ said Putnam, ‘and may I be shot if 1 don’t come off victor. The tree was ascended—the limb gained. Put nam placed his foot on il,and it creaked, while the old bird flew off with a sharp cry and remained de scribing circles round tit* tree, and uttering touch ing compluints. ‘Bali!’ said Putnam, ‘do you not prey on our t fields ? Do you not tux us for our support ? Do you not take our goods against our will, just like the King. He ventured a foot further on to the limb. It bent low, and a warning murmur aroso from the Putnam put his kneo to the branch, first limo intensely rigid, cheerless, and dreary— when llte summers woro also cold and the soil un productive—when tho mountains were no longer j'crowned with forests, hut covered with snow and ( ice throughout tiie year, and llte valleys filled with glaciers—when the wonted inhuhiiuuts of firewood and tiro waters were destroyed or exiled hy the se verity of the weather, and their places perhaps ! supplied by monsters of n huge and frightful char f aeler. The Palaces in Paris.—A correspondent of the Observer writes thut his first visits in Paris, hy daylight, were to the Palais Royal, and the Palaces the Louvre and tho Tuilleries. Thu Palais ryal is a vast edifice, of magnificent architecture enclosing two courts of unequal extent. In the principal court, (which is 700 feet long and 300 broad,) is a garden, ornamented with statues, and outside the enclosure, ure rows of trees, beneath which are ranged hundreds of chairs, which are let out at a trifling charge to visilors.

Management of Early Lambs.—Mr.Holmes: Although it is a poor practice to have lambs drop early, vet it will sometimes take place, even where there is a fuir degree of care taken to prevant it. When they do so come, it is desirable to raise them if possible, without too much expense* My son, I ruxlon Wood, has four or five lambs that came ou ihe last of December, or first of January, this year. Although the sheep were in fine order aad well fed, two have died. One, about a month old, died on the 27th instant. The first that was per ceived of its being unwell was this ; ho had no strength in his fore legs—could not stand on them but the hind legs seemr d not lo be diseased. Tbo little creature suffered in that way three or four days und died. I suggested the causftof his death lu be the eating of locks of wool from Ihe old sheep, and the wool being lodged in the stomach, became a bull so large that il would not pass off through ihe inteslines. I yesterday went to his place and assisted in dissecting the lamb. Wu found in the third slomoch a substance composed of wool, as lurge at one end ns my thumb, and tapering nearly two inches to a point, which wus nearly the shape courts, is occupied with shops and cafes ; its arch. iteclure is Doric—that of tho second story Ionic and of the third, Corinthian.

In a summer even. when the weather is fine, the pttlnis Royal, with the gay multitude that throng its gardens and cafes, presents a most brilliant aspect; and there a stranger may learn mor.- of Paris than at any oth er place in the same time. The palace of Louvre is uot fur from the Palais Royal, hut in a much more advantageous position, being immediately on the hanks of the Seine. It is extensive und magnificent; but 1 shall make no attempt to describe what can only be appreciated hy the eye. The interior of the Louvre is almost entirely occupied by thu diff rent museums of paint, ing und statuary. So extensive are theso collec tions, that weeks, if not months, are necessary to do justice to them. At this lust visit, 1 limited my survey lo tho exterior, and then passed to the Pul. uce of ihe Tuileries, extending westward from the Louvre, und like it, along the bank of the river. The extreme length of the facade is 1000 feet. The varied outline nnd great extent are truly im posing.

Il is probable that it never does take place until lire lamb lias grown so large that it does not get a sufficiency of milk lo satisfy its hunger. In the summer, with a good bite of grass, I believe it never takes place. In lliecuse referred to, there was some hay mixed with Ihe wool. Probable Prevention : Good feed* ing of tho mother, to cuuse her to give a good flow of milk. Feed the lamb by meuns of a sucking bottle, with good' cow’s milk, or let him suck il from tiie cow, night and morning, eucli day. Let there be a place made with slabs,su nigh together that tho dam cannot gel through and the lamb can, and place within the reach of the latter something tlml ho will eat. Many contrivances may be tho't of lo feed the lamb until grass comes. There will be danger of losing muny lambs by their eating wool from the mother. I have lost numbers in tho same way. The dunger takes plane after the lamb gets so large that the shepherd thinks him out of danger. Some learn to eat bay, if il is very good, rather than wool.

Potato Suoab.—The growers of potatoes in tho British kingdom are likely to be benefitted by tha exertions oflhe home sugar manufacturers, who are now determined to purchase all that comes within their reach.
