An Englinh brg-of-war lay to oiY the Southern shore of the Island of Fit-re, which is one of 'ho Hebrides .on the west ern coast erf Scotland. And the hri<; has just captured a prize. She hats been sent up af er smugglers, and h id” taken one of the most notorious of the smuggling crew —tt stout, bold, reckless man named Dan iel Kenmore. He was commander of a smuggling ve.-ee 1 , and the chief spirit among the contrabandis’s of that section. When Kenmore knew that his vessel must be taken if she remained above water, he deliberately knocked a h'g hole in her bot tom, and sunk her where she lay. His crew was sent off before he did this, and they made their escape. He retained a light skiff, hoping to make his escape also. His daughter was with him, she having refused to leave the vessel before him T hey had entered (he skiff, and whi ethey stopped to see the o]d vessel go down, a off. It war too late now to escape, .rm Kenmore saw that resistance would be useless, so he gave himself up with as good grace as possible. Flora Kenmore was eighteen years of age, and possessed all the rugged beauty of her Highland country-women. Her eye was large, and its glance pouldjw as soft as the whisp rs of love, or as piercing as the glare of the enraged lion. She w s not large in frame —far from it —but she was stout and strong, and her very stop was ’he language of pride and self control. A noble mail could have loved her most dearly, but a coward would have trembled with conscious littleness before her. She was taken with her father, and carried on board the br’g-nf-vvar. “ Ah, Donald Kenmore,” uttered the commander of tlie brig, as tlte smuggler was lei to the quarter-deck, ‘‘you and I have met before.” ‘ Ay, Captain Thornhill, we have,’ re turned thesrnuggl r, in a calm, prw»'id tone. “Twice I have captured; but now your turn has cemc." ‘•And I think tho people will thank me for it,” the Englishman said. The people-! utte'ed Kenmore, indig nantly. fSaV the people’s ruter*! No sir! the people have been hlcssel by me too much tor that. Go ask the poor men upon whose tables I have placed the lux uries of life at a cost which they could af ford, if they will thank thee for taking away their t en.efaotor! No, John Thorn hill! They cannot pay what the British lords would force from them to .help in sustaining an army of noblemen in luxuri- ous indolence and uselessness ! (do, now, and ask the people—the producers ot Eng land and Scotland—the works s—which has b friended yhem—Donald Kenmore or your shap-nosed cruisers 1 ’ 4 13y my soul, sir smuggler, you are elo- * “ Because lam honest But say, < ap tain Thot nhill, what is now to be my f te “ I should suppose you might judge, was Tho nhill s reply. “ I may guess, but I suppose you might know M <• Well, sir, I can assure you that you will meet one of two Lies; you wiH either he transported for bfe, or be hung ! ’ 11 So I supposed,’’ add the smuggler, mithout the movement of a muscle. Tho commander was now called to at tend to making sail, and Donald Kenmore was led away forward and put in ch mis Flora requested that she might be allowed t ■ accompany her father, an i her request was granted She was offered a berth in the cabin, but she chose to remain by he: Anri p'OLI) father’s side. . , About an hour after the brig had made sail, the first iieutenanj, a stout, coarse fel low, named Woder. came up t> where F ora stood, and placing Ins hand upon her fair neck, he a-ked her for a kiss bhe Parted hack, and while her eyes flashed fire, she drew a small pistol from her bo;- orn and cocked it. , . , u Miserahle'dog !” she uttered, in a low, firm*tone, “dare to place your foul touch | upon me again, and you shall die i “ Tut, tut my pretty bird, cried \\ ool er “you wouldn’t be so cruel But his voice trembled, and his frame shook with the mortification be tried to hide, I 'hii’k you will not tempt nre, at a . events!" the maiden returned with injny. Tho lieutenant bit his lips, and his fists were clinched ; but he had not tho daring to go further, so he turned away and walked uft. From that moment the crew looked upon tho maiden with admiration*. They did not like Wooler. It was afernoon when the brig squared away; aryl as the wind was light and baf fling, she made but little headway. It was past four o’clock when she passed if raid, and by that time tho v\i id had yli.nl almost to a calm, but not to a "pleasing culm. Tho hfiav ns had grown dark, thctiir cold and puffing, and night .coined coming on with the suu yet up. Cap. Thornhill gave or ders for taking off the sail, and ere long the b ig lay under dosed-ruefed topsail and fore staysail. At sun own tho winl came inirotn the southward and westward; and by the time niidit had fairly settled down it blew a glo The captain tried awhile to keep to the wind under the three sai s he had left on, but the wind was too strong. It. blew a perlect burrican, and the sea b> gnrt to rise and rise over tho deck ; and ere long it became evident that one of the topaai.s must be taken off. It was a bad place in which to he caught thus. Thornhill knew that he muse be near the mouth of the sound of Mull, and if he lay to, the gale would tend to drive him up into it. He was not acquainted wkh the place, and though he had good charts, yet lie did not feel safe. Higher and higher grew the furious wind, until the Very sen seemed dancing over the frail bark. The mast groaned and creaked, the rigging grated iu.d strain-’ etl, and every crack and seam gaped be neath the fearful strain. The wind liowle I and roared, and tho mad sea surged and boiled, until the whole scene appeared but the result of a furious war of the frantic elements. At midnight Captain Thornhill began to be frightened. The wind was not only un abated, ba the min had begun to drive down, and- tne night was as black as one soli i mass of ink. “ Wooler,’’ ha said, ns he drew his oiled jacket up over his face to protect it from the driving rain, ‘‘can you not hear tho lour of beakers ?” “ I have thought I heard them for some time,’’ returned the lieutenant, holding firmly by the iif -line to prevent b ing washed away by the freaking seas. “And yet we can do nothing,” tho enp tain resumed, being obliged to cry out wth all bis strength to make his voice sound above the roar of the elements “To veer an atom would he sure destruction. liut we cannot live so much longer Eve ry rope and stick is strained now to its ut most. 0, if we had room to run off be fore it ” “ But wo haven’t,” was Wooler's re- WKV.c uc a.•• seemed to increase rather than diminish. It was near the autumnal equinox, and there was every prospect that the storm would he a long one. Tho rain still fell in torrents, and the heavens were black, and their air dark. Thornhill had no idea of his wl ereabouts, for bow Jar the brig had been driven by the fnry of the night ho could not tell ; yet he supposed he must bo somewhat near th i chops of the bound of Mull. It was a few minutes past sis when the ci| tan was start ed by a loud cry forward, • mil on working his way thither he found that the foremast was sprung just above the pipe rack. He had hardly discovered the another shout from she poop culled hitn aft, and hurrying back again a sight met his gaze that made his liiHirt leap with horror. Directly under the lee quarter, and not over a quarter of a mile distant, was a bold rocky coast, over which the sea was da hing fearfully : And all along, too, to the northward, the same horrid scene extended. . “Good God!” cried Cooler, at this moment pointing o>e r the weather low 44 there are more races there. See. see. We are sun. uncled !” The men were called, hut not one of them knew the shores. . ‘■Bring up Donnald Kenmore! erred Wooler. , , “ Ah ! we will,” answered the enptum And tho smuggler was sen’ for. The old m u was sent on and ek—he had been carried below when the storm reach ed its fury—but Ifo could not tell where the brig was. “ But ” he added my child has been a pilot in these waters for over four years, and there is not a rock nor shoal ia the Sound o’Mull she don’t know. 4 Ila, Donnald Kenmore, do you speak truly now.” “ I do. Until within a month she has been with her trother. and ha* rdrnost lived among the rocks of tho Sound Flora Kenmore was sent for at once She came up and taking her station near iho wheel, where she could hold on to one of the life lines for support, she gazed care fully aroun l.

Now the helm is yours.” On the instuut Flora seemed filled with new life. “ Lay the yards square !” sho cried at thd top of her voice. “Euso up the helm. Let two faithful men take tiie wheel!’’ There orders were obeyed, and ere long the bri g was dashing off before the wind. An opening was made in tho rocky coast ahead. “ That is Lunga on the quarter, ” the maiden said, “and ahead we have a dozen small Islands. Here comes the Devil’s rock on the starboard bow, anil that on tho aft is McDonald’s crown. Port a little —steady—so!’’ The hearts of the men leaped up, and there seemed to hang for some moments.— Hut on went the flying vessel—the heavy spray actually dashing over the deck from the towering rocks—now (in' this hand, uow on that—and yet she went safely on. If site had gone through such a dubios channel, then why should she not pass the rest ? 1 lie men became more ea*y, even though the horrors wero as palpable as ever. The course of the brig lay through a hissing, rushing, tumbling, surge, with rocks still on every hand. And there stood the fair pilot, her keen eye flashing, her finely chisel led m strils dilated, and her noble form drawn proudly up. Her orders wrropromp* and as-ireJ, aud ojufidmco was in every look and tone. At length the vessel eti’e-ed a narrow .strait not ovar u uiilu wide. »>u> <h» the left. In hail an hour inoro the straits was passed—another group of rocks cleared —ana yet the gallant bark flew safely over the storm-mad sea. “Stand by the braces !” cried Flora now showing a little excitement. “Mind your h bill Round in carefully on the larboard braces ! Keep the others taut ! Helm a port ! easy—easy ! ’ The brig bowed to the wind most fearful ly now that her side was presented to it, and the masts bent like reed* —but rbe failed not A high promontory was passed—and in a few moments more the deep labor ceas ed. The brig righted, tho masts grew straight and the sails had dune straining The water moved only in long swells, aud as the men locked ahead through the falling <ain, they saw the smooth haven stretching away up in the laud-—a haven into which the southern storm demon emi’d not corns, and where the weary hark could h’at rest. It was the long, narrow inlet ofKilmore. At length the sail was taken “ff, tho an chora dropped, and then the men crowded about their fair pilot to bless bo-for the -ervico she had done them. But she asked not their thanks, though she could not re fuse their gratitude. < I hate saved my father,” she said, “and that is all to me. Ltusgo on sh..re now,” “But nut in this storm,” urged the cap- tain. “Yes,” persisted Flora. “We are not at, home here but .-n shore 1 shall find a sheltering roof, and open arms to receive us Captain Thornhill felt too grateful to make any ohjettiuns, and he had a boat bw- qred at once. “G and bless you !” ho said, as ho grasped Fiora by the Lund ; “and when, in time to come, wc call each other to mind, l trust you imv feel something of tho friendliness tiwards mo which I must ever cherish for you.” Then he turned to Donald. “And to you D maid Kenmore, let mo say, tjod grant I may never iiieSt you again when the duty of my station oould make you my enemy.

The fly-trap or pitcher plant grow abundantly, and cau ho found extensively in South Carolina. It oan bo used ass tincture, or In do’Octlon, a* is suggested be low. It oan also bo obtained at all drug stores. Ts we havo really an antidoto to this dreadful soourgo, and loathsome disease, iu an innoi unt plant which grows all around us, thero is no better time than the presuot to establish its efficacy, and extend its use fulness : I To the hhlitor of the Evening If ail, London,- England : Sm : * * Some timo ago, seeing * paper written by Assistant Surgeon Miles, of tbo royal Artillery, on the cflioaoy of tbo North American plant called tho saraceniit purpurea, or pitcher plant, in tho treatment of swa'l P x among tho ludiatiH, iuy col loagne (Mr Atnis) and myself have given this remedv, which has been imported into this country by Dr. Miles, a fair trial, aud I am happy to say the eleven cases in our bands have recovered under its pcouliar in fluence. This remedy I consider a boon to the public, for this reason : It is so easily man aged—any ono can make a decoctiou or in fusion of the root. An ounce of the root siloed, and infused in a quart of water, and allowed to simmer down to a pint, and given in two table-spoon ful doses every four hours, whilo the pstient is well nourished with beef and irrow root. L’our of tho eases in my hospital havo been severe confluent eases : means where tho head, face and nock are swollen into a miiibappen mass, and the pustules thickly running into each other.) They have, throughout the discaae, all been perfect ly sensible, have had exellent appetites, been free from pain, aud have never felt weak. The effect of this medicine, wbioh I have carefully watched, teemed to arrest the developemcnts of tho pnstnlcs, killing, as it were, tho virus from within, thereby changing the character of the diseaso and do ing away with the oauso of pitting (if I may so express myself to tho uninitiated) and thus avoiding the necessity of gutra peroha and India rubber application, or of opening the pnstuTte In my opinion, all anticipa lions of disfigurement from pitting may oovr be ch-uned, if this medicine is given from tho coßirruuno merit of the disease. Before leaving tho subject, I may hero caution the publio that tho useful part of tho plant is its root, recommended by Dr- Miles. With the usual kindness of Dr. Hibson, the Direotor Oenpral, I have been amply nnpplied with it fo* the use of my regi ment, No much am I impressed with tho efficacy of it in small pox over the old mode faeus*, as describe)! oy*oie.K&£>e,*u4O fflf Ulte rior surface of sliced muffins.^ I sun, sir, ycurs, respectfully, Cosmo G Logie, Snr.
