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. Sharpe's Magaiine. 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 mm & mm m mb. J. & J. K7L3 & CSC.

Bathing at all seasons is conductive to the health of body and inind, but more especially in 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. “Fourth class in Grammar, attention- llow is Grammar, divided ?” “Orthology, Ethnography, Swinctax and Ma hogany.” Ifew Orleans Type Fonndry, and Printers’ Depot.

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, Feb. 18,1847.

THE TREASURY OF HISTORY, Comprising a general Introductory Outline if Univer- IL story, ancient and modern, and a series of separate Histories of every principal A’ation that exists, their rise, progress, present condition, cfc. <fc. HY|SAMI I I. MAUNDER, A Mil rof the “Treasury of Knowledge, '’ “ Biographic*! lYeasury,” “Literary and Scientific Treasure,” Ac. including 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. ” * I Kj Complete in two Volumes—large octavo—with en gravings,.-#.
