ADVEN'TRE WITH A TI HATE.
To the year 1825, ns neatly as 1 can rccol-
trrt, Captain Sloat, of the American armed
schooner Grampus, stationed at St. Thomas’,
captured a celebrated pirate, that had boon
outlawed for some years, in the following
manner. The name of tisc pirate I cannot
now remember.
Captain Sloat, having heard that tlie pirate
was somewhere along the south side of Puerto
Kic.o, purchased or hired a small sloop that
I. id just arrived at St. Thomas’, from thence
loaded with tobacco ami codec. As soon as
she had discharged her cargo, lie put two
lieutenants, and llurly-five men on hoard, well
armed, with four or six small six-pounders,
with Olliers immediately to proceed to the
same place she would have returned to, had he
not engaged her, retaining one or two of her
former crew as pilots. On her entering the
small harbour, the pirate discovered and know
her, and made all possible sail to prevent her
communicating with the, shore before he cap
tured her; expecting to find specie or dry
goods, in return for the tobacco and coffee
that she bad taken to St. Thomas’.
As lie approached the sloop to nearly a
sboit parallel distance, ho shewed symptoms
of suspicion on discovering tho guns (all the
hands vvcic concealed but the pilots :) lie then
bad loo much headway to escape, which he
attempted by wearing; but the sloop got out
side of bim, and gave him a discharge of mus
ketry, which was kept up with all tbe vigour
possible, killing eleven of bis crow; tbe re
mainder laid fiat down, and refused to assist in
either lighting nr navigating the vessel ; their
k V nnxh’lv wn» to escape from the shower of
balls that Was passing over them. Under
these circumstances, the pirate displayed the
most astonishing coolness and indifference to
his life, which called forth tlie unqualified ad
miration of tho officers nnd men opposed to
iiiin. Lieut. M’Gruder, the second in com
mand (the first was Lieut. Prondcrgnsl,) in
formed mo llint ho saw the pirate, alone on
lus logs, steering liis vessel (a small sloop or
schooner,) occasionally running forward to
gel up the square-soil, haul it np i. little, then
return to his helm, get the vessel’s head right,
pat tho tiller between his legs, lead his fusee
and lira it; again run forward, get up the square
sail a little more, return to his helm, load
again, and so on, until lie got up the sail, and
discharged his gun fourteen times; when ho at
■it last surcooded unassisted, in outsailing bis
opponents and running Ins vessel on shore,
v\ bon the surviving seventeen el his crew leap
<,! overboard. Sonic of them were killed and
wounded before they rearhod Hie shore. 1
am not certain whether the six-pounders were
fired or not, hut the pirate escaped unhurt.
The firing alarmed the country; the magis
trates ordered out the militia, and had them
stationed, ns quickly ns they nsscmblcd, to
assist in l iking any of the pirates that might
land. The Americans seen followed, ami
succeeded in taking nr killing nil but the chief,
of whom for a short time, they lost all trace :

tlin e lingers growing together, having com
pelled him to exchangj! clothes, and to give
him lip the charge of his cnltle, which lie was
now diiv ing towards the interior, in his assum
ed coslpme. The pursuers immediately knew
this to he the ono they were in senicli of, and
recollected having more than oneo passed him
without suspecting who it was; so well did he
act bis part, nnd such unconcern did he skew.
In n short time, they ngain discovered the pre
tended herd. Two or three of the foremost
in tho pursuit attacked him. llo made a won
derful defence. Ono or two attacked him
with swords for some little time; while a third,
seeing how obstinately he fought them, fir
ed liis blunderbuss, loaded with slugs, nt him,
which took clFecl in liis shoulder and knee.
He nevertheless continued t.) fight with his
other band, until the ono who fired at him
struck him with the but-end of his blunder
buss on the ribs, a most sev ere blow, which
brought him to the ground. They even then
had difficulty in securing him.
He and tho oilier prisoners were sent to St.
■f ilm's, the capital of Puerto Rico, to he tried
The Americans returned to St. Thomas’, af
ter being in great distress, from the leaky state
of tho old sloop, and tho heavy rains that fell
during this expedition. Tho deck, ns they
expressed it, leaked like a riddle. After their
return, Captain Sloat determined to visit the
pirate, and sailed to St. John’s, Pucrlo-Riro.
lie was admitted to tho cacliol where tho pi-
rate was confined, thirty feet below tlie level
saved on hoard; hut he lost the vessel, cargo,
nnd specie, of great value, which was his nil.
This reduced him to a very low and desperate
state, obliging him to associate with a few
lawless characters like himself. They cm
harked in small vessels or lionts, and enptur
cd whatever vessels they could. Ifo men
tioned having killed above four hundred per
sons with liis own hands, during the prece
ding eight years that lie had been outlawed :
but lie declared that never, to his knowledge,
had ho killed a native of Puerto-Hirn, his
birth-place. He appeared touched by Cnpt
Sloat’s sympathy, and declared lie bad crea
ted feelings in bis breast lie thought never
could have existed, lie made an unreserved
confession of all that iio had done himself, but
would give no information that would lead to
the detection of others, although lie had him
self in a manner been betrayed, tlie particulars
of which I cannot recollect. When lie was
taken out to bo shot, there was not the least
concern visible on bis countenance. He fell
without a struggle; and all the companions of
bis lawless life who bad born taken were simi
larly condemned, and underwent the same fate.
Cousin Nancy—Or Hit Virgin of 70.—“ I
will lay you a dozen of wine, Turn, that 1 go
in and make loyu to cousin Nancy,” said the
gnv and fashionable Frank Devvesc to bis as
sociate in frolic, as they stood one evening in
the piazza looking through the window into n
room vvhero sat the lady in question, busily
engaged in extracting the sweets of the last
novel.
“ Done for n dozen,” replied the laughing
Turn, “ it were wnrili a dozen of Jolly’s best
to see you rouge-gathering on the furrowed
cheeks nnd skinny lips of that walking anato
my—Ilmt splendid example of tho eternal sis-
tcrliond.
Cousin Nnncy had toiled through life for
threescore years and ten, enjoying all the pla
tonic pleasures of single blessedness. In all
respects but two, she was, to sav the least,
soflVluMc; hut her nfir.ctation — >,» *»a
king as her am-1 >ry disposition was vexa
tious. Tho first never allowed her to keep a
calender beyond her the ty first year—made
her ape the dress, manners, and habits of a
girl—use rouge without bounds—wear gaudy
dresses—ntleud juvenile assemblies of amuse
ment—and take lessons in music daily. The
second, (her ainativencss) was ever hurrying
her into love adventures; making her the Imre
of all the beaux; sending her heart one wild
goose chase after another, until she could
scarce swear to it as her own; nnd leading her
to imagine that she was making conquests
wherever she went. Render, can yon no' see
her now before thee, large ns life ? her grev
locks saucily giving the lie to her raven papil
late, her eorrognled phiz smeared with paste
rouge until it looks like a none of red chalk;
her sinewy neck and withered bosom forming
a deep yellow ground to display tho lace above
it. and exposed with a generosity which fifty
years ago would have been irresistible; her
rnnihow ribands, and her fidgetty movements
betraying the restless activity of tho soul, Fret
ting and chafing in its venerable tnbernacln ?
You can now appreciate the motives of the
young men for engaging in their mischievous
plot—if you cannot, we pity you.
The bet was ratified by a mutual grasp, and
in went Frank, assuming nn air of awkward
mystery that was calculated to rouse the sus-
nicion of Ins venerable cousin, (’losing ami
bolting tlie door, behind he drew the curtains,
taking care to leave a neoping hole for his ac
complice, who surveyed the preparations w ith
infinite glee; -he then seated himself by the
side of Ins w niub r-struck cousin, and seizing
her unresisting hand, began to whisper snfi
things in her ear. She was amazed with joy;
tho mysteries of tlie cosmetic art had been
poured out to gratify the various senses to
which the young and beautiful address them
selves.
Frank and bis cousin out sat them all at ta
ble. He was just finishing bis roll, and was
about rising from tbe table, apparently uncon
scions of her presence.

into bis arms—when lie stepped back with a
look of the most perfect astonishment—“ A

mean ? von alarm me.”
“ Perfidious man I deceiver, did you not on
vntir knees offer mo your heart and your
hand?” “ ATy heart! Oh Lord ! My hand !
Ha. ha. Iia; drunk—drunk—l must have been

In two hours cousin Nancy, two trunks,
six bandboxes, a squirrel and two canaries,
were packed into the stage, and driven off to
Washington, together. They never returned.

a little astonished to find her attended on her
Inst visit to London, by the identical “ Olive

forms the subject of ono of her sweetest

Anecdote.—Tho New York Conslellution
lias the following pleasant anecdote about an
old lady who accidentally spoke out in church.
It was formerly the custom in country-
towns, for those who lived several miles from
the church, to remain during the interval be
tween morning nnd evening service. On this
occasion, she had taken some milk in a pitch
er for the children; and in the most interesting
part of the worship, a dog who had followed
them into (lie pew, thrust hi? head into the
pitcher. Whether his head was too largo or
the pitcher .too small, it is not in our province
to determine; hut having regaled himself, the
pitcher still obstinately retained its position
and ho was discovered hacking out with the
pitcher stuck fast upon his head, nnd the milk
streaming in every direction on liis head and
shoulders. “Get out, Put!” pays the old
lady. Frightened nt the sound of her own
voice—“ 0 dear, I spoke out in meeting!”
said she.—“ There I spoke out again—0 dear
me, I keep talking all tho time.”

A Dexterous JCnare.—A Florentine notary,
who had little employment, bethought himself
nf the following expedient to raise money.
Having called on a young man whose father
was lately dead, he asked him whether he had

father had lent to another person who had al
so died shortly before. Tho son told him he
had not found any such debt among his father’s
papers. 1 1 drow the obligation with my own

purchased the legal deed, and cited tho son
of the alleged debtor. The defendant main

that he had never borrowed a farthing: and
