A Lost Child. —-V few years ago, in the
parish of Sydney, in the province of New Bruns
wick, America, the following circumstance oc
curred :
u A young gentleman who had been out lor
some days on a hunting or a shooiing expedi
tion, reached the Banks oi Bear Crock, w hich
he was desirous of crossing, being anxious to
make his way home before night-iall. io his
disappointment, the iog-bridge which he had
passed the day before had been carried away
|,v the current, which happened to be very
strong in that place. Remembering, however,
having noticed a fallen tree across the stream
lower down, he pursued his way. Just as he
had reached the spot, and was preparing tocross
over, his ear was attracted by the sound of
footsteps upon the dry sticks; the sound was
accompanied by a cautious rustling movement
among the thicket ofwild raspberries that cover
ed the opposite space. With the alertness of
a sportsman, anticipating a shot at a deer or
bear, his linger rapidly found its way to the
lock of bis rilie ; and while his keen eye was
warily fixed on the bushes, a slight attenuated
hand, stained purple with the juice of the ber
ries, was quietly raised to reach down a loaded
branch of fruit; another instant, and the fatal
ball had been lodged in the heart of the uncon
scious victim. A cry of terror and of thank
fulness burst from the lips of the hunter as he
sprang with eager haste across the stream and
approached the child.
It was a little girl, apparently not more than
eight years old; her torn garments, soiled
hands, dishex'elled locks, and haggard face, be
trayed the fact that she had strayed from the
forest path, and been lost in the trackless wil
derness. The child appeared overjoyed at the
sight of the stranger, and told her artless tale
with a clearness and simplicity that drew tears
from the eyes of her preserver, who felt indeed,
as if he had been an instrument in the Divine
hand, sent to rescue the forlorn being before
him from a melancholy and painful death. Had
not the loss of the bridge led him to seek an
other spot whereby to gain the opposite bunk,
she would in all probability have perished in
that lonely spot; but it was ordered otherwise,
and the heart of the young man was filled with
grateful emotion. He had learned from the
child that she had been sent by her mother to
carry a basket of food to her father, who was
chopping in the wood near the house ; blit that,
by some mischance, she had strayed from the
path, and, misled by the echo of her father’s
axe, she had wandered away in an opposite di
rection. Every attempt to retrace her steps
only led her deeper and deeper into the wood ;
but still she went on. At first, she said, she
cried a great deal ; but finding her tears and la
mentations brought no relief, she consoled her
self with eating some of the food she had brought
with her. When night came on, she was over
come with weariness, and lay down to sleep in
a sheltered place, and rose with the first sound
tl the birds to pursue her hopeless way. When
she had exhausted her provisions in the basket,
she beguiled hor sorrows by seeking for herbs
and berries. Fortunately it was the season for
summer-fruits, or else the poor wanderer must
have perished. Oil the third night she lay {
down to sleep, and heard as she supposed, the j
tread of cattle near her. She said she was very
glad, for she thought the dark creatures she saw !
moving about in ihcdim light must be her fath
er’s oxen ; and she called to them very often,
“Buck, Bright!” but they did not come near
er ; and she wondered she did not hear the ox
bcll.
Another night she said she saw two great
black shaggy dogs, which she thought were
neighbor Ilowet’s dogs; but when sho called
them by their names, they stood upon their hind
legs, and looked hard at her, but did not come
near, and soon went away into the wood ; and
•.0 knew they were dogs,tor that night she hca.d
them howling. In all probability these ani
mals were bears ; for the woods abounded with
these animals, and the stream the hunter had
crossed bore the name of Hear Creek; the
howling most probably, arose from wolves ; but
her innocent heart knew no fear.
The day after this she found herself near a
deserted shanty ; the clearing on which it stood
Was over-grown with strawberries and rasp
berry bushes ; and here she remained picking
the borries, and sleeping beneath its sheltering
roof at night. She led the hunter to her solitary
hut, where he proposed leaving her whilst he
went in search of help to convey her home, or
to some dwelling house ; but the little creature
tlung to him with passionate weeping, and im
plored him so pathetically not to leave her again
alone in the dark lonely forest, that his heart
was not proof against her entreaties; and
though weary with his own wandering, he
took the little foundling on his back, and pro
ceeded on bis journey, occasionally resting
on the fallen timbers to ease him of his burden.
The shades of night were closing in fast upon
them; and the weary pair were making up
their minds to pass another night under the shade
of the woods, when the sound of water and the
working of mill-wheels broke upon their ears ;
and soon the light of the last glow of sunset
broke through the trees iu tho distance ; and
the child, with a shout of joy, proclaimed they
must be near a clearing at last, for she saw
light through the stems of the tree*. Gladly did
the way-worn travellers hail the cheerful sight
of the mill and the neat log house beside it ; and
gladly did the kind inmates of the place receive
and cherish the poor lost child, who had been
sought for till hope had departed from the hearts
of her sorrowing friends, and she was reckoned
among the dead. She had wandered away
miles from her home, and had been absent manv
days ; but she had been supplied with water
and fruits, and her spirits had been wonderfully
sustained during her wanderings.

ANECDOTE OF LUTHER MARTIN.
We learned an anecdote a very few day*
since of the distinguished lawyer, which we do
not remember to hare inet with in print, and
is certainly “too good to be lost,” as the repor
ters say. Martin was on one occasion riding
to Annapolis in a stage coach, in which was a
solitary companion, a young gentleman just
commencing the practice of the law. After
tome familiar conversation, the young gentle,
roan said:
“Sir, you have been remarkably successful
in your profession ; few men have gained so
many cases ; will you be good enough to com
municate to me, a beginner, the secret of your
success ?”
“I’ll do it, young man. on one condition —
and that is you defray my expenses during my
stay of a few days at Annapolis.”
“Willingly,” replied the young man, hoping
to profit greatly by the communication.
“The gccret of my success,” said Martin,
“may be discovered in this advice, which I now
give you, namely : Be sure to hax'e a good
witness for every case you desire to secure.”
On reaching Annapolis, Luther Martin was
not very self-denying in the enjoyments presen
ted by a fine hotel ; the substantial and gener
al refreshments were despachcd in a manner
quite gratifying to “mine host.” The time for
return at length come. The young man and
Martin stood together at the bar, and deman
ded their respective bills.
Martin’s was enormous, but on glancing at
i it, he quietly handed it to the young lawyer,
: who running his eye over it leisurely, returned
it with the utmost gravity.
“Don’t you mean to pay it ?” said Martin.
“Pay what said the young lawyer.
“\\ hy pay this bill. Did you not say, on
the route downward, that you would defray my
expenses?”
“My dear sir,” said the young gentleman,
“have you a good witness to prove what you
demand in this case ?”
Martin at once saw that he was caught, and
1 eyeing his young friend a moment or two, lie
j said pleasantly : “You don’t need any counsel
from me, young man, you don’t need any coun
j sel from me !”— Mctlwdi.it Protestant.
j Bathing. —Nothing tends more to the pro-
I serration of health, as well as cleanliness, than
I frequent bathing.
We have oflen called the attention of the
public to the important subject; and now on
the opening of the spring, when the functions of
the human body undergo a considerable change
especially those of the skin, we would again
advert to it.
During the xvinter the pores of the skin have
been more locked up than during the summer
when spontaneous perspiration is more free
and frequent, and therefore lias become more
dry, hardened and less active. This is the
case with all, but more especally with the sctl
, entary, or those not engaged in hard manual la
bor.
Health cannot be preserved any length of]
time unless the numerous pores upon the sur
face of the body be kept clean and free to per
form tlieir several important duties. Frequent
bathing the body all over in warm or cold wa
ter for some thirty or forty minutes, will mainly j
effect this object.
Those persons of a temperament whose reac
tion is speedly produced, and can bear it would
be most benefitted by the cold baths, those ofa
different or more delicate temperament, as the
nervous, billious, or those whose lungs or
stomach are liable to be easily effected may use
the warm baths.
In (act, using a common bathing tub with
soft water a littlo warmer than the blood, a
flesh brush and soap, thoroughly, while the body
is entirely immersed, for half or three quarters
of an hour, is the best moans to cleanse, open
and aid the action of the skin, and thereby
equalize the circulation of the blood and all the
functions—relieve the head ; quiet all the nerves
remove fatigue—aid digestion, and produce an
agreeable and hcalthful statc of both body and
mind.
j Not half the people of the world are aware
oltho material benefits resulting from this pro
j cess, and none can be fully able to appre.
j ciate it unless they have been in the constant
1 use of it for time.
It should be used, if possible, every day, but
at least twice a week if no more.
Every village should havo a convenient ba
thing house or two. Indeed every family
| should have a bathing apparatus, which could
be procured for a Billing sum, and mayhap
l would be the means ot saving a doctor’s fee ol

the spring.— Dover Gazette.
Fanaticism. —The Brooklyn Advertiser gives
a long account of some Swedes resident in
Brooklyn, who appear to be the dupes of an im
postor. It is in substance as follows :
Some months since a large number of
Swedes arrived in this city on their way to the
West, and took up their quarters for the winter
at the foot of Jackson street, waiting the open
; ing of navigation. Their object in removing to
i iliis country is not altogether to advance their
i temporal welfare, but to practise a peculiar re
ligious svstein to which they are votaries.—
They came out here prepared to enter upon
the formation ofa colony in Illinois, whose af
fairs were to be conducted on the community
plan, and had considerable means to carry for
i ward their project. About a yejr ago, a reli
gioiis pretender, named Andros Anderson, a
Swede, became conspicuous in the country
north of Stockholm, by exciting the people to
the belief that he was divinely endowed, and
1 persuaded them them to remove to America.
] and place themselves wholy under his spiritual
and temporal guidance. In consequence ol
] this, lie rendered himself obnoxious to the
! Swedish government, which took measures for
his arrest: but he managed to elude its vigilance
and took passage in a Norwegian vessel, lan
ded in England, finally made his way to this
1 country, and proceeded to Illinois, where he ar
j rived last summer.
Iu the mean time those who were disposed to
follow him gathered their effects together con
verted them into money, and to the number ef|
’ throe hundred or more took passage and arrived i
] here last fall. They appear to lie of the better I
! class of peasantry, and may have been noticed ;
along our streets during the winter, comfortably ,
and respectably clad. They arc industrious,
and have carried on various trades. Their
funds amounting to SSOOO were placed in a
common stock, and confined to the charge of
one of their number, named Niles Johan Liun
berg who speaks tolerable fluent English.—
Among them were several minor prophets or
priests, who have acted as vicegerents of An- ]
dros Anderson during his absence. The names ]
of two of these are Eriscon and Berluud.
Shortly after their arrival in this city, they
were rejoined by Andros Anderson, who came
from Illinois for that purpose ; and from what we
can learn the imposture which he has carried
on is ol the most impious nature. He has assu
med tho attributes and prerogatives of God, and
as wc have iljfrom the lips of Luingberg, made
his followers believe that if they should not
follow him to Illinois their eternal damnation
must inevitably ensue. Another point of his
doctrine that there has been no grace in the
world since the Apostle’s time, uulill he (An.
derson) was horn. We presume the other re
ligious tenets which lie iuculutcs arc of a simi
lar character.
The particular event which brought these
devclopenients to light was the robbery of the
chest iu which Liungbcrg kept the treasure of
the society. This occured a night or two
since. Suspicion fell upon Anderson and two
ot his chief priests, Eriscon and Bcrlund.-
Writs of nc exeat were issued on Monday
against them. The two last mentioned were
taken into custody by D. I. Van Voorhis, sher
itl, and committed to the Kings county jail, un
til an investigation can be instituted. Yester
day, Anderson, who had absented himself was
likewise apprehended and is now in jail.

New Map of Georgia,
THE undersigned has been, for months, past, en
gaged, under the direction of his Excellency, Gov.
Crawford, in compiling a Map of the Stale of Georgia,
on a scale of six miles to the inch. The undertaking
is now nearly completed, and he flatters “himself he
will receive the favorable patronage of his fellow-citi
zens—sufficient, at least, to have it published and
placed in a durable form.
That a revised delineation is called for, of our ex
tensive territory, independently of what exists in the
labors of Sturges and Greene, will not be questioned.
The accumulation and possession, since their times,
of a vast body of land designated then as wilderness,
or the temporary domain of the Indian tribes, with nat
ural objects well worthy “ a habitation and a name,”
have been converted into organized counties, presont
ing a dense population, flourishing villages, and ex
tensive public and private improvements.
The Map to be published (so soon as a sufficient
number of subscribers will warrant,) is 5 feet by 4
and 8 inches, and is designed to exhibit as well as
perpetuate the present condition of the whole topog
raphy of the State. In addition to the ordinary metes
and bounds—courses of rivers and ranges of moun
tains. Railroads, Canals, county sites, post offices, fac
tories, in fact all remarkable places of the past or pre
sent day, will be shown. The attention of the com
piler has been particularly directed to a faithful draw
ing of county lines and public roads, and to accom
plish such important ends, he has not only consulted
the original surveys and the acts of various Legisla
tures, but he deemed it the better plan to make rough
sketches of each county and submit the same to the
Justices of the Inferior'Court, Postmasters, and others
equally compent and obliging, and to ask for such
additions and corrections as might be necessary, and
farther to designate any and all objects of natural cu
riosity that might exist. To many, if not all of hie
requests, kind, prompt and satisfactory answers were
received, so that many glaring inaccuracies in the
maps heretofore published have been corrected ; and
the compiler takes this occasion of returning his ac
knowledgments to those who favored his objects, aa
rendering a service not merely to himself, but aiding
most materially in the thorough and correct develope
ment of the whole plan. To bis brother Engineers of
the different Railroads, his thanks are due for the use
of maps which enabled him not only to lay down the
true courses of those important works, but likewise to>
make profiles exhibiting the elevation above the se*,
of every station from the Atlantic to the Tennessee
river. The Map will be embellished with views of
the State House and Executive Mansion, and will be
furnished to subscriber* at their residences at tcndol
tars per copy. \V. G. BONNER,

THE HISTORY OF AMERICA,
EDITED BY JOHN IX3I AX, E.SQ.
THE republication of this valuable Work has been
undertaken partly on account of the high favor with
which it has been received in England, but chiefly in
■onsideration of its intrinsic value, arising from its
felicitous adaptation of the plan to a want that has
been long and generally felt, and from the judgment
ind fidelity manifested in its execution. The idea of
•living in a single work, of no very formidable dimen
-ions, and at a price which brings it within the reach
of very moderate circumstances, a sufficient outline
of the world’s whole history, and similar outlines of
the history of every nation, “is so obviously judicious
and appropriate as to require no eniogium. Every
person who cares at all tor the acquisition of useful
knowledge, must desire to possess such a general
knowledge of past events, not only in his own country
but in all countries, as shall enable him to understand
the perpetually recurring allusions that are found in
almost any course of genera! reading; because for
want of such understanding there is always a serious
diminution both of pleasure and profit, even in the pe
rusal of such works as are designed chiefly for amuse
ment. For instance, most of Sir Walter Scott’s nov
els are founded upon history, and abound with refer
ences to historial events and personages, a want of
some acquaintance with which detracts seriously fioni
the interest and delight they are so well qualified to
awaken ; and so of most other works belonging to
the better class of what is called light literature. But
the difficulty has been to obtain this general knowl
edge without going through many books, requiring a
greater expenditure of time and money than most per
sons are able or willing to uftbrd ; anu to obviate such
difficulty has been the purpose of Mr. Mai'nlkh.
His plan has the merit of completeness, and is un
doubtedly the best that could have bern desired. He
gives first a general sketch of ancient and modi ru
history—a rapid and comprehensive bird’s-eye view
as it were, of the rise and progress of nations, tha
most important incidents of their career, and their re
lations to each other ; and after this lie takes up the
nations separately, furnishing a concise digest of all
that is important or desirable to know concerning
each, and thus affording a sort of key to the change*
and events that were more briefly indicated rather bv
their resob. than thr.r incident:., in me general sketch
or outline. Thus the salient points of history are
brought within a manageable compass; and an excel
lent foundation is laid lor more thorough and exten
sive reading in reference to any portion of the world
or any epoch of which a knowledge may be desired.
In the execution of this plan the author has been
very successful. Ilis notice of historical events, tho’
brief, are lucid and satisfactory: and he traces the
connection of effect and cause with singular acumen
and genarally with most commendable freedom from
partiality or bias'; thus supplying a very good idea of
the philosophy of history as well as of the facts which
history records. In a word, the work will be found
invaluable to the general reader and a very useful heln
to the student. ” *
