Averse, as we are, to the practice of seizing on any little local incident and rendering it the subject of embellished detail, yet we occasionally hear of occur rences so touching and pathetic in their nature as to awaken our sympathies, and interest us in their narration. Os such a* nature is that which we now present to the reader. Mr. Charles Bearghan left the north fast part of this Province a short time ago, and took what is called the upper road from Frederict on to St. Stephens, on his way to the United States. On the sth August, he passed the thriving village at Hartl’s Mills on the Riishagonis very early in<the morning, and expected to reach Trew’s tavern, at the Piskahagan by night. Properly equipped for the woods, furnished with suitable provisions, his blanket, his axe slung behind, on his -shoulder, he trudged gaily along until he arrived at Shin creek,’which is un bridged, and was at that time much swol len with late rains. A woodman seldom hesitates at such obstacles; he proceeded up the bank of the stream and set about felling a tree across it, to severe as a temporary bridge; it swung aside in falling, and, launching into deep water, it moved away majesti cally down the stream. Our traveller “looked and looked, and wist not what to do.” He was not inclined to resume the axe, and therefore resolved to proceed upstream, in hopes of finding a.favorable place for crossing. At length he arrived at one of those placid-looking pools which form deep stretches in our rivers and are generally termed still water places. Here he made a kind of raft sufficient to boar up his clothes and gun; and keep them dry, while he swam over and drew them after hiip- He was soon busily engaged in rehabiting his limbs, and refreshing himself with a bit of biscuit, seated on the flowery margin of a natural meadow which extended along the banks of the stream, when his ear was startled by a whining noise resembling the sounds fre quently utterred by young bears. He in-< stantly seized his gun, examined the touchhole and reprimed: then clapuinc a ball into the barrel. S “ with look intent, > “ and eye and ear attentive bent,” he cautiously stole towards the spot whence the sounds issued. They were no longer uttered, but he now and then heard a crackling noise among the under brush and perceived a twiching motion of the twigs and spray, but could not dis cover who caused them. Convinced, however, that he had some antmal to en counter, his gun was at his shoulder and his finger on the trigger. He then silent ly.reasoned with himself whether or not he should fire at random, but experience cautioned him againt so rash an action, for no animal is more furious than a wounded bear. As thus he mused, his eyes became suddenly dilated, his heart throbbed violently, he raised himself erect, and let the but of his gun drop quickly to the ground ! Behold ! among the raspber ry bushes—and seen through the inster stices of their many twinkling leaves of dewey green—he sees a beautiful infan tile arm fitfully stretched out, and little ta per fingers plucking the rich, ripe, crim son fruit. After he had experienced the first flush of the mingled emotions of surprise at the extraordinary sight—of horror at the bare idea of his gun and his intended act —and of pleasure in the expectation of meeting society in theswdeep and solemn solitudes, our traveller advanced and be held a little girl, about seven years old, sedulously engaged in pulling and eating of the abundant wild berries which were spread in great variety over that naturally rich and verdant spot, She appeared to bean interesting child; her clothes had a respectable look, albeit they were most woefully rent and worn, her fair hair play ed in disordered ringles over her cheek which was begrim -d and pale, and her soft blue eyes were red with weeping. She burst out into wild hysteric wailings which sunk suddenly into convulsive sobs.' The traveller was lost in utter amaze ment, and hemmed aloud, to attract the i child s attention—-Alarmed, in her turn ■ at his appearance, half habited as he was’ ! she screamed fled a few steps—fell and : covered her face with her hands He was quickly by her side, and used the kindest and most soothing expressions to gain her confidence and calm her fttirs . She had fallen more from bodily weak rness than from fear, although she had been greatly alarmed at the Unexpected appearance of the stranger. At length she ventured to look up, and with a sweet but languid smile, said slowly and faintly, “O now—l arp sure you will-not kill me.” “Kill you! God forbid,” was the full hearted reply. "O’ I’m very tired—l’ve been, very, very hungry, but I got plenty rasberries here—l only eat the goody *’ ones, I never take them as have the spider on cm, mother bid me not to.”—Where is your mother, my dear child?’ eagerly enquired the traveller, mid he was an swered in great simplicity, -she’s at home, sir, 1 guess, but main don’t know where I be—l can t find out the way home ever so long.” ‘What my child, have you strayed and are lost? Come to that flow ery knoll with me —God has sent me to preserve your life—come, and I will give you some nice biscuit and a bit of meat— you are weak and worn, but I will take care of you.’ The innocent’s soul burst forth in a flood of grateful tears, not at tended with that hysteric affection which she had lately suffered. She derived great relief from weeping, and prepared to follow her new -.benefactor, but the excite ment she had just experienced, acting on her sensitive, delicate, and exhausted frame, had shaken every nerve and com pletely prostrated herstrength. She was unable to walk, but the kind and generous Bearghan carried her to the bank of the river where he had deft his littlestore and judiciously regaled her with spare and gradual portions of food. As soon as she was moderately refreshed, her artless answer to his enquiries inform ed him that her name was Lydia Har per;. her parents live near Hartt’s mills; she had been sent with dinner to her fa ther, who was making shingles a little way I in the woods, but missed the right track, got. bewildered and wandered astray. — i ‘When I knew I was lost’ she said ‘O I was very frightened—l screamed and ran about, and threw away father’s dinner.’ : It appears that she walked the first night 1 until she sank down nearly stupified ■ with fatigue. . The Traveller asked if she was not afraid when it grew dark and i she was all alone and lost in the woods, .to which she replied, *1 was a kind of ! frightened all the time, but when I lay I down I said my prayers that mam learnt me, and then I wa’nt frightened,’ *Do 1 you remember the prayer,’ O, Ido sir, ; it is;— I ‘I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest, for it is thou, Lord, only that ma kest me do well in safety; and into thy hands I recommend my spirit, my soul, and my body, for thou hast redeemed me, ' O Lord, thou God of truth! Amen.' Mr. Bearghan. next began to consider how the child was to be brought along.— i He was sixteen miles past her father’s, and • his business would not allow him to re . turn: he was about 12 miles from Trew’s and no house between. The child was unable to walk; he rigged out a contrivan ce by means of his blanket, and carried her comfortably on his back. The de lightful consciousness of performing a good action buoyed up his spirits and nerved his frame, and he beguiled the ri gour of his laborous task by the prattle -of his little foundling, who had now become more sprightly and free. As he journeyed along he inquired if she had seen any wild beasts in the woods, and she answered "No I did’nt—only once—‘twq black dogs were coming to me—they were not Mr. Burke’s dogs—• they stopt, and one stood up on his hind feet—they did’nt bark, but runned away again”i Our traveller smiled at the child’s simplicity, while she continued to say “O sir, last night—O when I woke in the middle ofthe night, O how glad I was! —1 thought I was close to home, for I heard the cattle trampling about me. I couldn’t see nothing, none of them had bells—and when I called ‘Star and Bright’ they lay still; O I was glad and my heart was beating and beating—l lay. very still to listen, and so I just dropt away asleep again—was’nt it a pity—they were all gone in the morning.” “Providence seems to have defended you in an espe cial manner, iny child, against hidden dangers and death,” said the traveller. Having carried his helpless charge.un till day light was gone, his fatigue was increased by the difficulty of walking on an almost trackless road in the dark, and ' the moon did not rise untill near ten j o’clock. At length he arrived at a desert ed log hut within two miles of Trew’s, and being almost exhausted, he. deter mined to make a short stoppage to re cruit. Here he thought to leave the child, wrapped in his blanket, whilst he should hurry on, and send back immediate relief. He struck a light, partook of some refresh ments with her; but found great difficulty in getting her to consent to remain be hind. After he had prepared a pretty comfortable bed forher.and placed hersnug ly in it, he sat down to watch until! she should fall asleep. The moon had just risen, and before he started, he ap proached the child to find if she were per fectly composed, he held the light towards her, she opened her blue eyes full upon biin, she averted her head, ’ and sobbed. ‘No!” exclaimed the traveller, ‘By all that s sacred; I swear Fwill not leave you behind!” He forthwith slung his axe and his gun, resumed his former equip ment, raised little Lydia from her lonely couch and carried her safely to the long looked-for house of entertainment. Al though it was quite late, Capt. Josiah Trew was easily aroused to admit the toil worn traveller and his little companion, who now stood beside him at the threshold’ for something told him that it was more seemly that she should walk than be car ried into the house. He had also tied a handkerchief under her chin, in the' fash ion ofthe gypsy headdress. They were soon placed by a comforta ble fire in a good house, well stored, and blessed with a hearty and hospitable landlord. The females as is the custom ofthe country, were speedly afoot and busy preparing the required" repast- We fancy we can see the mirthlitjcountenance of facetious Josiah, beaming with down right exultration as he issued his mul tifarious orders for every viand the house could afford to travellers. We can imagine also that we see his features o< rc ou ed and his eye glistening with genuine feeling as he related that the »holo country side w bei . n search ot a child lost in the woods; that parties had gone m all direction,, but tinhapily without success and that one of the people deeply distressed on the occasion was now in the house. Our traveller immediately exclaimed that Providence had made hitn the happy instrument of recovering that lost child who now sat before them, Ev ery one flew round the little girl,examined and fondled her, and vented exclamations of amazement and satisfaction —During this sudden bustle a person from the ad joining chamber rushed wildly in among the company, snatched the hand of Lydia, gazed on her for a moment, then clasped her to his bosom. It was her father! What a sceuq was here! what an over flowing of the sneSt feelings which a dorn humanity! wftat a giddying inter change of those pure affections which spring from sincerity and truth! But what tongue can tell; what pen pour tray the varied emotions which fleeted ‘in rapid succession through the minds of that painfully happy group? The half-frantic .joy and gratitude ofthe enfee bled little sufferer-—-the conscious self satisfaction of the deliverer—the officious but sincere gratulations of the excited in mates —inust all be estimated by the sus ceptibility ofthe reader. The beautiful train of circumstances I which Providence employed in this affec i ting story is worthy of serious considera tion. If the traveller had passed Hartt’s ‘ Mills when the people were stirring a broad; if Shinn’s creek had been bridged; if the tree had fallen across; if he had had bo gun when he thought a bear was by —if these facts had happened, the child might have perished. He who sustains the mighty planets in their courses andcontrols the motion of eve ry particle ofdust—He who rules the awful storm and sends -forth the smiling sun beam, works his wise purposes in myste ry to us— " Come, then expresssve silence, muse His praise." KING’S SPEECH. Prorogation of Parliament. Londons August 15. His Majesty went to the House of Lords this day and prorogued the Parliament in the following Speech : "Jfy Lords and Gentlemen, “The numerous and important ques tions which have, in the present, as in the two proceeding years, been submitted to your consideration, have imposed upon you the necessity of .extraordinary exet ertions; and it is with a deep sense of the care and labor which you have bestow ed upon the public business, that I at length close this protracted session, and release you from your attendance. "I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers assurance of their friendly dis position. "The negdeiations, on account of which the Conferances in London upon i the affairs of the Low Countries were i suspended, have not yet been brought to a close; and I have still to lament the con tinued postponement of a final settlement : between Holland and Belgium. j “On the other hand, 1 have derived the most sincere and lively satisfaction from the termination of the civil war which had so long distracted the kingdom of Portugal; and I rejoice to think that the Treaty which the state of affairs in Spain and in Portugal induced jme to conclude with the King of the I French, the Queen Regent ofSpain, and the Regent of Portugal, and which has i already been laid before you, contributed materially to produce this happy result. " Events have since occurred in Spain to disappoint, for a time, the hopes of tran quility in that country, which the pacifica tion of Portugal had inspired. “To these events, so important to Great Briti’an, I shall give my most seri ous attention, in concert with France and i the other Powers who are parties to the j Treaty of 22d of April; and the good un derstanding which prevails between me and my Allies, encourages me to expect that our united endeavors will be attended with success. j “The peace of Turkey remains undis-! tnrbed, and ( trust that no event will hap- ' pen in that quarter to interrupt the tran quility of Europe. ; “I have not failed to observe with ap i probation that you have directed your at tention to those domestic questions which more immediately affect the general wel fare of the community, and I have had much satisfaction in sanctioning your wise and benevolent intentions by giving my assent to the Act for the amendment and better administration of the laws re lating to the Poor in England and Wales. It will be my duty to provide that the au thority necessarily invested in Commis sioners nominated by the Crown, be ex ercised with temperance and caution; and I entertain a confident expectation that its prudent and judicious application, as well as the discreet enforcement of the other provisions ofthe Act, will, by degrees, re medy the evils which at present prevail; and whilst they elevate the character’ will increase the comforts, and improve the condition of my people. "The amendment ofthe law is one of your first and most important duties, and I rejoice to perceive that it has occupied so much of your attention. The estab lishment of a Central Court for the trial of offences in the metropolis and its neigh bourhood, will, I trust, improve the admin istration of justice within the populous sphere of its jurisdiction, and afford a useful example to every part ofthe king dom. "To the important subjects of our Juris prudence and our Municipal Corpora tions, your attention will naturally be di rected early in the next Session. You may always rest assured of my disposi tion to co-operate with you in such useful reformation, "Gentlemen ofthe House of Commons. “I thank you for the readiness with which you have granted the Supplies. The estimates laid before you are some what lower than those of former years al- though. they include several extraordina ry-charges, which not again occur. The siime course of economy will still be stea dily pursued. The continued increase of the revenue, notwithstanding the repeal of so many taxes, affords the surest proof that the resources of the country are un impaired, and justifies the expectation that a perseveranae in judicious and we,ll considered measures will still further pro mote the industry and augment the wealth of my people. “My Lords and Gentlemen, "It gives me great gratification to be lieve, that in returning to your several counties, yqu will find a prevalence of general tranquility and of active industry amongst all classes of society. I humbly hope that Divine Providence will vouch safe a continuance and increase of these ' blessings, and, in any circumstances which may arise, I shall rely with confi dence upon your Zeal and fidelity. And I rest satisfied that you will inculcate and encourage that obedience to the laws, and that observance of the duties of religion and morality, which are the only secure foundations ofthe power and happiness of Empires.” After the conclusion of his Majesty’s Speech, the lord chancellor declared the Parliament prorogued to the 25th of September next. Some apprehensions are beginning to arise on the London Exchange, in conse quence of the large exportations of specie to the United States. A contraction of their currency, and much consequent em barrassment, seem inevitable. Contrary to public expectation, th© French Chambers had voted the usual address in reply to the speech of the King, almost without debate. The Extraordinay Tribunal art War saw, after a sitting of more than twelve mouths, have completed their proceed ings against the conspirators of the insur rection. All the leaders, and members of the revolutionary government, have been condemned to death—-some by the axe, and some, by the gibbet. The news from Spain is decidedly fa vorable to the Queen. Accounts from Napoli, to July 8, State that Maina had submitted, and that Greece was just returning to Complete tranquil ity. Portugal was .perfectly tranquil, al though the arrival es Don Carlos in Spain created some uneasiness, lest Migu el should pay them a visit in a similar un welcome manner. I _ - THE CONJUGATING DUTCHMAN. I Two English gentlemen once stepped I into a coffee house in Paris, where they j observed a tall, odd looking man who ap ; peared not to be a native, sitting at one , of the tables, and looking around him with ' the most stone I ike gravity of countenance ! upon every object. Soon after the Eng ; fish men entered, one ofthem told the other , that a celebrated dwarf had arrived at Par- I is. At this, the grave-looking personage above mentioned opened his mouth and ; spake. “I arrive, (said he) thou arrivest, he arrives, we arrive, you arrive, they arrive.” The Englishman, whose remark seemed to have suggested this mysterious speech, stepped up to the stranger and ■ asked, “Did you wish to speak to me, sir?” “I speak, (replied the stranger) thou speakest, he speaks, we speak, vou speak, they speak.” "How is this (said the Englishman) do you mean to insult me?” The other replied, “I insult thou insultest, he insults, we insult, you insult, they insult. “This is too much, l (said the Englishman) 1 will have satis faction : if you have any spirit with your rudeness, come along with me.” To this defiance the imperturbable stran ger replied, “I come, thou contest, he comes, we come, you come, they come ;” and hereupon he arose with great coolness, and followed his challenger. In these days, when every gentleman wore a sword, duels were speedily despatched; They j went into a neighboring alley .and the Eng ' lishman weapon, said to ■ his antagonist, “Now. sir, you must fight me. “1 fight.” replied the other, draw ing his sword, “thou tightest, he fights, we fight,—here he made a thrust—you fight, they, fight” here he disarmed his adversary. “Well, (said the Englishman) you have the best of it, and I hope you are satisfied.” “I am satisfied” said the original, sheathing his sWofd, “thou art satisfied, he is satisfied, we are satisfied, you are satisfied, they are satis fied.” “I am glad every one is satisfied, (said the Englishman) but pray leave off ' quizzing me in this manner, and tell me what is your object, if you have any, in doing so. ’ The grave gentleman now, for the first time became intelligible. "I am a Dutchman, (said he) and am learn ing your language; I find it very diflicult to remember the peculiarities ofthe verbs, and iny tutor has advised me, in order to fix them in my mind, to conjugate eve ry English verb that I hear spoken. This I have made it a rule to do. I don’t like to have my plans broken in upon while they are in operation, or I would have told you this before.”—The English men laughed heartily at this explanation, and invited the conjugating Dutchman to dine with them. “I will dine, (said he) thou wilt dine, he will dine, we will dine, you will dine, they will dine, we will all dine, together.”—-This they accordingly did: and it was difficult to say whether the Dutchman ate or conjugated with most perseverance. The Summit of Bliss.— A marriage was celebrated a few weeks since in a ro mantic spot on the top of the Blue Ridge, under the broad arch of Heaven. The parties having obtained a license in a county in which they did not reside, deemed it necessary to be within the ju risdiction of the clerk issuing the process; and, at the appointed hour, here came the groom and his train from one point, and the bride with her fair posse frofi another. After the nuptial tie was drawn. the parties s’cperated in the manner and direction whence they came—but only temporally, we presume, The scene was one of singular interest, and we have no doubt the fond pair, in their journey through the dark vales of life, will never forget what was to them, at the moment, emphatically the summit of bliss. The Queen of Prussia at the Battle of Jena.— A few minutes before the at tack, the Queen of Prussia, mounted on a superb charger, appeared on the field of battle, and accompanied by the elite of the youth of Berlin, rode along the front of the most advanced lines es the -Prus sian army. The flags, which her own hands had einboirdered to stimulate the troops, together with those which had been borne in the armies of Frederick the Great, and which were blackened with gunpowder, were lowered at her approach. Shouts of enthusiasm resound ed through the Prussian ranks. The at mosphere was so clear, and the two ar mies were so close to each other, that the French could plainly discern the cos tume of the Royal amazon. Her singu lar dress was, indeed, the chief cause of the danger she incurred in her flight— On her head was a hemlet of polished steel, shaded by a superb plume. The rest of her dress consisted of a cuirass, j I glistening with gold and silver, and a tu- j nic of a silver brocade, reaching to her i feet on which she wore red boots, with gold spurs, When the Prussian army was routed, the Queen remained on the field attended by three or four young men of her escort, who had defended her. However, a party of hussars, who had foUght gloriously during the battle, rush ed forward at full gallop, and with drawn swords, dispersed the little groupe. —Startled by this unexpected attack, the horse Which her Majesty rode, darted ofl* at a furious gallop, and had he not pos sessed the fleetness of a stag, the fair Queen Would infallibly have been captu red by The French Hussars, who were several times very close upon her. The Queen, thus pursued, arrived within sight of the gates of Wiemar, when a strong de tachment of dragoons was seen pursuing her at full speed. The 'Commander of the detachment had orders to take the Queen at all risks. But no sooner had she entered Weimar, than the gates were closed, and the hiissars and dragoons returnnd disappointed to the field of bat tle.—•■Bourienne's Memoirs-* MICHIGAN. StieaenS T. Mason, Esq. the acting Governor of Michigan, issued a proc lamation on the 28th ult. for an immedi ate meeting of the legislative council. The council met accordingly, elected Judge Me. Dowell president, appointed a committee to wait upon the Executive of the Territory, and inform him that a quorum had assembled and were ready to receive any communication he might think proper to make. A message was subbmitted the next day, in which the Governor states, the members of the coun cil were called together solely with ref erence to the adoption of incipient mea sures for the admission of the Territory into the Union. He sayß: "The leading purpose of your present session contemplates the speedy admis sion of Michigan into the Union. Pre liminary and essential to the effectuation of this desirable object, a census of the inhabitants of the peninsula, as well as of those west of Lake Michigan, ought, it is respectfully suggested, to be immediately ordered and taken. The details are properly confided to the wisdom of the legislative council. But the time has arrived when Michigan is called upon! to act for herseif. She has petitioned ’ Congress again and again, to extend to! all the Territories heretofore admitted into the Union as States. None of these Territories had, at the time of their admis sion, a population equal to sixty thousand souls, a population on the attainment of which we are authorized, by the ordi nance as 1787; to claim an incorporation with a republican constitution into the Union; on an equal footing with the ori ginal States. All or most of the other Territories have-been admitted when they possessed a number of inhabitants equal to the then ratio of representation in the House of Representatives of the United States, Congress, under the influence of the policy which at present guides their deliberations, have failed to accede to the reiterated applications of Michigan, with a population greater by far, than that of other favored Territories, for power to form a Constitution and State Govern ment. She has but one course left for the assertion of her equal rights. It is to as certain her population, which is beyond doubt, more than sixty thousand; to pro ceed, in that event, to the calling of a con vention for the institution of a state Gov ernment, and to the election of a Repre sentative and Senators to Congress. The State of Michigan will then have a right to demand admission into the Union; and it is not to be anticipated, that the Con gress ofthe United States will hesitate to yield, as a matter of right, what they have heretofore refused to grant us as favor” A Lock of Hair— Few things in this weary world are so delightful as keep sakes. Nor do they ever, to my heart at least, nor to my eye, lose their powerful charms! How slight, how small, how tiny a material,saves a beloved one from oblivion; —worn on the finger; or close to the heart, especially if they be dead. No thought is so insupportable as that of en tire, total, blank forgetfulness—when the creature that once langhed, and sung, and wept to us close to our side,or in our arms,is as if her smiles, her voice, her kisses had never been. She and them all swallow ed up in the dark nothingness ofthe dust. Os all keepsakes, memorials, relics, — most dearly, most devotedly do I love a little lock of hair; and oh! when the head it beautified has long mouldered in the dust, how spiritual seems the undying glossness ofthe sole remaining!—All else gone to nothing, save and except that soft, smooth, burnished and glorious fragment ofthe apparelling that once hung in cjouds and sunshine over an angel’s brow. ; Aye, a Ibck of hair is far better than any picture—it is a part of the beloved ob ject herself; it belongs to the tresses that often, long, long ago, may have been diss shevelled. like a shower of sunbeams, over your beating breast! But now solemh thoughts sadden the beauty once so bright —so refulgent; the longer you gaze on it, the more and more it seems to say airhost upbraidingly, "weep’st thou no more for me! and, indeed, a tear true to the impe rishable affections in which all'ftittrrij seems to rejoice, bears witness, tha‘t the object to which it yearned is no more for gotten, now that she has been dead for so many, many long, weary days, months, years; that she was forgotten during one hour ofabsence that came like a passing sound between us and the sunshine of our living—her loving smiles.
