And there, upon the •'waters wild,” amid the terrors which surrounded and threatened them, in the presence only of all- seeing God, did they pledge their mutual love, and declared if their lives were spared, their destiny, which misfortune had united, should then be made as inseparable, as escape from it was now impossi ble.

She burst into tears at the very thought of separation, and asked him if ho thought it wus possible fortlte poverty of this world to drive them to a more dreadful extremity than that which they had suffered thus together.— He assured her of his willingne«s to endure for her the same trial again—and of the joy, more than lie could express, which he felt at finding her so willing to fulfil her engagement, which it is said is soun to be consummated. It was not till then that he was made acquainted with the fact, that his lady love is heiress to an estate worth 8200,000.

NO 62 Valdh ofthi Bible.—Whatever differences of opinion may prevail among neciarians, as lo fit* value of the different editions of the Bible, arid the purity of their translations, and their mil i. ty in schools, none eeo safely deny the inspire • tion of the good book and its high moral tendsci- ctet. A gentleman of this eiiy, personally acquainted wild the celebrated Thomas Paine says:—*On» evening I found Psion haranguing a company of his disciples on the great mischief done to mankind by the production of the Bible and Christianity.— When he paused, I said—‘Mr. Puine, you have been in Scotland ; you know there is not a more rigid set of people in the world than they are in their attachment to the Bible. Is it not their school book I Their churches are full of Billies- When a young man leaves his father’s huuse, his mother always, in packing his chest, puts-o Bible on the lop of his clothes.' He said it was tru-. I contin ued,—'You have been in Spain and Portugal, where they have no Bible.' Ho assented. ‘You have seen districts in Europe, where not one man in filly can read ; and you have been in Ireland, where the majority never saw a Bible. Now you know it is a historical fact, that in one country ia England or Ireland there are many more capital convictions in six months, than there are in the whole population of Scotland in twelve. Besides, this day there is out one Scotchman in the Alms, house. Stale Prison, Bridewell, or Penitentiary of New York. Now, then, if the Bible was so bad a book as you represent it to be, those who use it would be the wutst members of society, but the contrary is the fact , <or our prisons, ulmshousca and penitentiaries, are filled with men and woinetr whose ignorance or unbelief prevents them from reading the Bible.' It was now near 10 o'clock at night. Paine answered not a word, but, taking a candle from the table, walked up stairs, leaving his friend and myself staring ut une another.” COURTSHIP ON A FRAGMENT OF THE PULASKI. Many interesting as well as painful incidents esnnech-d with that awful disaster, 1 a>e related to us by iiiosh wiin have seen and conversed with persons taved from the wreok. Amongst others the fol lowing is mid of a Mr. Ridge, from New Orleans, and a .Vli<s Onslow, from one of the Southern Slates, l*‘j of the unfortunates who were picked up on (lie filth day about fifty miles from lurid, it is stn- tedof the gentleman, that he had been silling on the dick alone, fur half an hour previous to the accident. Auuihur gentleman who was walking Heir him at the lime of the explosion was thrown overboard, and himself was precipitated nearly over tits side of the boat and idunned ; he recover <d iinmocl iui'.ly, as he suppu-ed, when he lieu'rd ume one remark, “get out of the boat—-the is tittle- leg-" He whs not acquainted with a solitary indi vidual on the boat. Under such ciicumsiances, it ii natural to suppose that he would feel quite a* much concern fur himself as for any one else.— He «r»s consequently among the foremost of those ebu sought the small boat for safety, and wus about to,top into it when he discovered a young lady, tnom he recognized as one wtiose appearance hud sundry times during the passage arrested his ut. 11111100. Her protector was the man who was blown over board. He sprang toward, her, to take her into the (inall boat, but in the crowd and confusion he losliightof hor, and he supposed she was with some ether friend. Durii g his fruitless search, lha small boat shoved of)'. The wreck was fast silking. The night rang with the prayers and Arieksof the helpless and drowning. He turned ••ay in despair, und tumbled over a coil of small nips- Hope like the expiring spurk brightened •gain. He caught up the rope, lashed together a couple of settees, threw them upon a piece of an old sail and a small empty cask, dud ihus equipped, Uuached upon the element. It was all the work of a moment. He believed death inevitable, and Ibtt effort was the last grasp at life. His vessel bore him up much belter than he expected, and he wucousoling himself with his escape such as it w»i, while others were perishing all around him when he discovered a female struggling for life al- nto,t within his grasp! He left his ark—swan* but twice his length—seized his object and return, sd safely lo his cruft again, which proved sufficient tosuitaiu them built, but with their heads and shoul ders only above the water. The female was the C og lady for whom he lost a passage in the small I. She fancied their float would bo unable to wpport them both, and said to him. '• you will have to let me go to save yourself.” He replied, •' we live or we die together ” Soon alier they drifted upon a piece of a wreck probably a part of the same floor or partition lorn iMunder by the explosion; This with the aid of the senses, fastened beneath it, proved sufficient to bsep them out of the water. Aboutthii lime one of the small boats cams toward* them, but already heavily loaded. He implored them to tako in the young lady. But she said, no she could but die— jto h«d saved her life, and she could not leave him. they were fairly at sea, without the least morsel to eat ur drink, in a scorching climate the young hdy in her nightclothes, and him,elf with nothing u l>on him but a shirt end a thin pair of pantaloons, •beady much torn. Of the boat which bore them •II in quiet and safety but a half an hour before, eothing was to be seen but scattering pirces of the •reclt. The small boat was on her way to the Store, their own craft being light, and lightly load- •d, drifted fast from n scene indescribably lienrl- rending, and wliiult lie still shudders In think of. At daylight nothing was visible to them hut the beiven, and a waste of water. In the course of •ke day they came in sight of land, and for a lime ™.'y ivare confident of reaching it—but during the ‘uccueding night the wind changed,-and soon after pihglit next morning it.vanished again, and with J! ‘heir lively hnpe« of escaping from their i “*lful dilemma.

Bat RIVERS OF TEXAS. Dr. Branch T. Archer, a citizen of Texas, late ly delivered an address before the N. York Amer. ican Institute, giving a geographical description of Texas and its resources. His description of the rivers and the country adjacent to them, is exceed iugly interesting. We condense that portion of his address which relates to these subjects: "Then taking the country within the limits men tioned between the Bttbine and Nueces, the first thing that would strike the observer, would be the relative proportions of timber and prairie lands, and the immediate uses to which each could be ap plied. The proportions within the limits mention ed ore, I think, as six to one. Not more than one sixth of our lands are timbered, and they aro with very few exceptions fronting our water courses. The next matter that would uttract particular no lice, isthe long rivers by which the country is inter seeled from North to South—1 allude here only 10 our long rivers; will speak presently of our shorter streams. We will take the Sabine, our Eastern boundary, and progress West. This riv er affords fine bodies of land, and in ordinary tides, is navigable lor steamboats drawing light draught water from four to five hundred miles. Tlio next, proceeding West, is the Nutchez. navigable about one hundred miles. The average distance be tween these streams ia forty miles. Next the Trin idad, affording excellent lands, well timbered and naviguble in ordinary tides for steam boats drawing lour feet water, from five to six hundred miles. Next the Brazos, or Centre river ol the Republic, in l lie lieurt of the live oak forest, affording naviga tion for boats drawing aix feet water, sixty miles, and for light steamboats four hundred miles. Next the Colorado, affording very fine lands; its naviga tion obstructed by a raft near its mouth. Next the Unudnloupe, affording superior lauds, well timber ed, and navigable some two hundred miles. Next the Nueces, affording fine louds, but little timber. Next the Rio Grande, our Western boundary. Of this river 1 am not sufficiently informed to give in formation. Returning from West to East, I will bring tn your view our shorter rivers. And first, the Bun Antonio, affording a fertility of suit and an- lubrity of climate not surpassed or. this continent. This rivor is not navigable, though susceptible of cheap and easy improvement to that end. Next the La Bara and Nivtddad, affording floe lands ; not navigable. Next Cane river, proverbial for its fertility, navigable fifty milev. Next San Bernard, its lands second only to the Cane lands, navigable fifty miles. Next Unstrop bayou lauds not so good; navigable forty miles. Next Buffuio bayou, lands inferior; navigable 30 miles,” ‘‘A word to Farmers” is spoken in ihe New York Tribune, lu relation to deep ploughing, that jour nal says— As to deep Plowing, all science, all practice, nil authority recommend it, and yet three fuurths of our farmers persist in skinning their laud over front five to eight incites deep, or not half what is re quired. We saw field after field of corn which will not yield ten bushels to the ucre, (and poor stuff at that) which might have been put up lo twen ty by Deep Plowing alone. Of course, one year would not exhibit ull the benefit of this culture ; though even the first year, if a dry one, would show its decided advuntuge; but lot land have lime to get used to Deep Plowing, and it will tell you plain ly how it relishes that treatment. And the mar, who plows deep is pretty apt to put something else into the soil aa well as iron. He will hnve muck, ond peat from his swamp holes and a noble compost- heap near his barn. We hear Farmers compluin, and most truly, that .hey can make nothing by their busines—and this while they are paying taxes, keeping up fences, and perhaps paying mortgage interest, on twice as much laud as they can cultivate well, and letting half of it go from year to year without tillage, without fer tilizing, and often growing up to bushes and alt manner of mischief. Now the wonder is not that such farmers do not thrive—the murvel is that they manage to exist. Let any manufacturer, me chanic, dr merchant do his business after this pat tern, and he must fail—there is no help for it. Bui must we conclude that had farming has be. come inveterate among our people?—that our far liters Imve resolved, though they know better, to hold tw ice as much land as they can till thoroughly, und torment it till it ruins them. We will nut give it up. Every farmer we see admits the evil—says lie his neighbor! run over Ino much land, cultivate loo slovenly, nre not soffi-iemly tvnle uwnketoihe murch of improvement, hiiiI luy out too much main strength on what could he easier und belier by the siii of skill and science. Aii are aware that they must farm better or break ; for the car of Improve ment moves on. and the only choice is to ride on or ho run over by it.

Shut in Wheat.—A gentleman who reside* neur the city of Washington, and is enguged iti ag ricultural pursuits, has furnished to the editors of Ihe National Intelligencer utt interesting coumiuni. cation on the subject of preventing smut in when), a portion of which we annex : I purchased last autumn of one of my neighbors u portion of iny seed wheat, whose crop 1 after wards learned had been injured by that species of smut that is called eruilofalida, dost brand, or pep. per brand ; the wheat looked clean and fine, and clear of nny foreign mixture. Previous to com mencing the seeding of this grain, I hod been seed ing some of another kind, in which there was a mixture of garlic; und I had given orders lo my serdsman lo puss it through a brine strong enough to hear an egg, to skim off oil the trash Hist might rise to the surface, and then remove the grain to a plank floor and dry it, by stirring it in sir slaked lime. When lie commenced seeding the wheat that 1 had bought, finding it perfectly clean, and supposing that tny object in steeping the other wsb lo get clear of filth, without consulting me lie began to sow it, without the usu of the brine and lime, and had strewed about a bushel before I discovered As soon as I made the discovery, I had it treated precisely as the other. When l came to harvest iny wheat this season, this circumstunce had pass ed from my memory, and l whs much surprised to find that in one small corner of the field the smut had destroyed the wheal, while the rest was com. pletely exempt from it, under pretty much the same circumstances tif soil and exposure have been exceedingly puzzled to have assigned a cause for this difforeoco in the crop, hud 1 not b.-en reminded by my seedsman of the fact of his having seeded a portion of undoctored wheat the previous autumn; and he stuted that it was on the spot w here the smut existed that lie strewed it. It seen s lo nto there cun be no stronger evidence than this accidental circumstance bus afforded of the benefit of bringing and liming our seed wheat; and I strongly recommend the use of Ihu process to tny brother fsrmor*. Yours, respectfully, C. B. HAMILTON. Touacco MtNOFACTORC AT SlVlLLS.—This is far from being the least antong the curiosities of Seville, mid some account of it rriay prove interest ing to our readers. Tobacco it one of the roysl monopolies of Spain, and it i* manufactured in • palace. A good idea of the value of the monopo. Ijr may be lormetl from a very cursory glance at this singular establishment. It is a noblo and stately edefice, of a quadrangular form, six hun dred and sixty feet in length, by four hundred and eigrhty broad. It is surrounded by a moat, and r e„,cited by n drawbridge, like a regular forlifica. tion. Soldiers are constantly on doty at the en. trn,nee and in Ihe courts : all the work people are cn refuily searched every night on leaving the e„iab. Ii*button, and no cloaks are permitted within its pr ecinciH, so carefully is Ihe abstraction of tobac c« guarded against. No fewer than five thousand haoids are enpluyed here ; of these three thousand are women, almost all of whom are occupied in m eking cigars, and a number of the men are sitni- Im-ly employed. The remainder are engaged in the.- manufacture of ihe different articles and im- pi einents required in the establishment. Two im- m ense halls aro occupied by the tw istert of cigars, ome by each sex. In the larger one three thousand women are seated; the wotk is performed with a, nttziug rapidity, a single individual will roll up fr om five hundred to six hundred cigiiisina day. T'he lime of labor ia from seven o’clock, A. M , to 4. P. M. '• We saw.” says a writer, in a Intenum. b er of Chamber’* Edinburg Journal, •• the wholo p recess of milking snuff. Tile tohncco leaves are fi.'st steeped ill a decoction of Brazilian tobacco, plums, walnuts, lemon.peel, etc. The hearlatalks are then removed, the leaves twistod into ropes and co iled up into tight packuges. They are pressed by a machine not unlike a large cheese press, ami are then stored up for six or eight months to fer me nt. They are sftorwurds uncoiled, and chop ped into small pieces by a very clumsy set of hum- nie rs worked by mules. When chopped sufficient ly, the toheccu is conveyed to the mill and ground into snuff. T'he stems, umi beanstalks are, 1 ho- lievi*. ground into u coarser article. When the wind! blows into u particular direction, it is said that this establishment may be nosed at a league’s dls tat'tcn. Tnero are five royal tobacco manufacto t ies in Spain, of which this in Seville is tlio largest. The quantity of cigars used in SpuinTs immense. The Spaniards are the greatest smokers in Eu rope ; all smoke, and nil smoke cigars—the pipe is comparttively unknown.” National Intelligencer. Old Times.—Rev. Mr. Fox, of Nowhurvport in tut old paper written in 1828 to a friend, gave u familiar sketch of the manners snd habits of the good people of Boston, nearly a century ago. The tbllowing is that part which describes the dress ol a couple as they were arranged for marriage. To begin with the lady ; her long lucks were stratnod upwurds over an immense cushion that sat like att incubus on her head, and then plastered over will) pomatum und sprinkled over with a shower of white powder.

Your grandfather slept in an arm chair the night before his wedding, lest iho arrangement of his pe.ricrailium, which had been under the hands of a bar! )or the whole nftcriiobn should he disturb ed. His hair was sleeked back and plentifully be flowered, while bis cue pr.-jected like the handle of a skill el. His coat wus of a skyliluo silk, lin ed with ye.llow j hi-long vest of white snliii, em broidered with gold Inco ; his breeches of the same material* Bud tied at the knee with pink ribbon. White silk, stocking, and pumps, clocks and ties ol me same hue, completed the habilimont of his no - titer liinb-*. Lace ruffles clustered around his wrists, and n portentious frill, worked in correspon. deuce, betnring tlio miniature of his beloved, finish ed his trul,y genteel nppearnnee. Women and Adversity.—We clip the follow, ing Iruthf'til paragraph from n communication in the New Vork Tribune, it is indeed a sterling thought: There is not nn earth a more noblo and sublime spectacle uhnn a virtuous woman, alone and un friended its the cold world, struggling bravely against the frowns of fortune and the temptations of n society run mad with riot and licentiousness, und rnainlH iitiiig herself pure and uncontaininuted nnd above t'epronch—perhaps, too, feeding the hun gry mouths of her fatherless children—by the la bor, of her own hands, and the wretch, who would rob her of one single penny of subsistence thus acquired, ileservcs to be scourged with scorpions. Proud and happy are we, nt all times and in all cir cumstance s, to stand up ns the champion and de. fender of such uncomplaining, unpretending virtue and beauty—for virtuu is beautiful, and all the charms w Inch ever flashed intoxication to the sen ses front Woman’s face and form are hollow amt hideous mockeries, if virtue commend them not lo the hourt und soul of the hchnl l-r.

I cannot, however, reproach myself for having preached He finite time; for as I believe that whatsoever was written was for our learning, the prophetic periods nre as much a subject of investigation as any oth er portion of the word. My view of exact lime depended entirely upon the accuracy of chronolo gy, of this 1 Imd no absolute demonstration, but as evidence was presented lo invalidate it, I deemed it my duty to rely on it as certain, until it should be disproved.” This is aa plain a confession of his ignorance of the subject, of which he pretended to predict so positively, as could be made. It also proves that the man, if not dishonest, was stubbornly wed lo his own opinions ; for when the uncertainty of the evidence upon which his whole fabric rested was clearly pointed out by persons versed in chronolo gy, he ridiculed their statements snd assorted that his opinions were correct, or (Its Bible was no! true.—Trenton Gazette.
