ed tho miser, wringing his hands and run
ning to and fto In tho crowd. But all turned
away. There was scarcely a soul present

“Gooff for her I not I," said the latter,
with a mocking laugh, shaking off tho old
man; "nil your gold would not tempt mo

father, too—and think yon I’ll sacrifice my

“Oh, she will die,'my child, for whom I
have saved all. Peter Jones, will you go off
(f I will give you a thousand dollars 1”
"Not for ton thousand," gruffly said the
person addressed ; “a boat couldn’t live In
tho breakers a minute."
“I will givo ten thousand to any one,"
eagerly raid the old miser,—" ton thousand
dollars. I know you will go for ten thousand
dollars,i Simon,” and lio seized one of the
spcctntore by tho button of Ids shaggy jacket;
"oh 1 go. and the blessings of n broken heart

hard lotyou’WLfit to bear, and I pity your
daughter, fur bIio . was a sweet angel. But
the packot will go to pieces in half an hour
and so you seo there is no hope.”
Tho father heard the speaker In stole si
lence—then ho turned and looked out at sea,
where, a few.minutcs before, tho outline at
the stranded | acket might have been seen
through the approaching twilight, almost bu
rled In the whirling foam that howled over
the bar on which sho lay; but now tho dark
ness bad shut bor lu from view, and tho only
knowledge of her position was derived lVom
than married to the young man, were known
to ovory listener. At length he gasped— .
"Yes yes, butgoatonco. Only save her,
and sho shall lie yours."
Tile youth pausedoto. longer, but dashed
through the crowd.' In'a ntlntite Ids boat
was afloat and acompauied by a solltaiy in
dividual— for hut ortc fisherman, and he un
der great obligations to tho yonng man. could
be persuaded to risk hls life with tho lover—
lie set fiirth. The boat rose gallantly on tho
waves, shaking like a duck the sproy from
bor sides, and for a few minutes was seen,
momently, cutting tho outline of the gloomy
sky as she obtained tlio sntnmlt of a billow;
then she gradually passed Into the darkness
and was seen no more.
For more than an hour tho crowd remained
on tho beach, almost incredulous of tho lover's
success and yet lingering in the faint hope
that ho might return with his precious freight
That he had the good wishes of all, was evi
dent from tho eagerness with which they
strained their eyes Into tha gloom to see if ha
was returning, and tVom the audible prayers
for hls success, which wore breathed by more
than ono of the woman. Apart from the
general crowd stood tho fisherman whom the
miser had last appealed to, surrounded by a
few kindred spirits, who wore discussing with
him the chances of tho young man's retnrn.
" It was madness to attempt it,” said tho
fisherman, 'but when I found ho would go,
I itt'isled that he should mako hls conditions
with the old man before ho ventured; for you
seo, iflilsdaughterwas onco restored to the
usurer's hands mighty little gratitude would
ho have for her preserver, and Harry would
stand as bad a chanco as ovor. Between us,
I believe sho thought, as muoh of tho yonng
man as ho did of her, and If her fhtlier Bent
her away, os I more than suspect, to drivo
Harry Alartln from hor thoughts, hor present
danger looks like the retribution of a higher
pawor, as a punishment for hls conduct But
hark! was that not a halloo ,1”
Evory eye was turned seaward, in which
direction the fisherman indicated that hi)
heard tho hall; bnt nothing coaid be seen
except the white foam of tho breakers In the
foreground, and tho lowering clouds behind,
forming a chaotic mass of darkness. Nor
was any sound save that of tlio roaring tem
pest borne to the car.
“Hark!" at length said ono, there it is
again.
Every one listened, anil now a halloo was
heard faintly from the thick gloom seaward.
One of the fishermen shouted, and a reply
was distinctly caught in tho lull of tbo tom-
pest. A fcw momenta of breathless suspense
followed, during whioh overy eye was strain
ed to tho utmost.
“There It Is,"at length cried one; “see,
just rlBing on yonder wave!”
“ I soo It," shonted one.
" Horo they como. huzza 1 a miracle,
miraclo—oh I how gallantly sho breasts the
surge," wore the exclamations that followed
from tho crowd.
All rushed to tho edge of the surf.
But now tho fear aroso that the boat would
bo swamped In the breakers and many a
heart trembled as slio rose and foil frightftlly
on the surgo. showers of spray foiling ovor
her, and the water continually pouring into
her sides. The crowd watched her struggles
with sllont awe.
A few minutes removed all doubt, and saw
the hardy orew and tholr lovoly freight safely
lauded on tlio beach. The miser had started
from his seat at the first intimation of tho ap
proaching boat, and stood trembling, gazing
at her os she buffeted tho waves; and no
sooner did she touch tho ground, than ho
rushed Into the retiring surf and clasping his
daughter frantically, hung around hetrao that
the fishermen were forced to carry both to
gether to the dry land. There they would
have separated the two for a moment but
when they spoke to the old man they found that
ho was lifeless. The emotions of the two last
hours had boon too much for hls enfeebled
flame, and he had died in the revulsion from
despair to joy.
Tho good folks of that seaboard viltngo can
yet tell yhii how, after the accustomed period
ofmoumlng had passed the miser’s daughter
gave hor hand to Harry Alartln, who received
with her a fortune, whose extent even the
most sangutno confessed to ho beyond their
expsetntion.
But tills was tho least of tho treasure
brought him by his wife; and in hor virtues,
ho had an ample recompense for tho long
years of opposition on tho part of her parent.
JSF" A man with a red face, and looking
rather shabby, called at a liouso.tn the coun

He gathored himself np as best lie could,
shook himself to oscortaln that no’bones
were broken, and then' started an hts misstate
of lore, hls Ardor somewhat damped ‘by feel
ing tho cold night wind playing fantastic Jests
around his body, denoting that the conepsstah
had breached his “ah, fie, for shame,” and that
the saven-and-six penny coalmen were no
more to be the particular delight of hls eyo,
In contemplation of their artistic excellence,
He knew not the extent of the damage
sustained, but soon gaining the house, his
first glance was over hls person, to ascertain
if decency would bo violated b/ an unwonted
display; but seeing nothing, and trusting to
the voluminous proportions of hls eoat.for
concealment, he took his scat inn proffered
chair by the fire.
Whilst conversing with the farmer about
the wcathor, and with tho dame upon 1 tho
matter of chooses, he glanced At Sully, and
saw, with patnfot surprise, that sho wits look
ing anxiously, and somewhat 1 strangely, to
wards a portion of bis dress. She averted her
eyes as slio caught his glancd, but again catch
ing her eyes upon him, ho was induced to
turn Ills in tho samo direction, and saw—good
heavens 1 was It hls shlrtl—oozlrtg out of n
six inch aparturo In tho jnsldo of Ids Inex
pressibles! Ho Instantly'ohhngcA_jwsltlon,
and from that moment was on bottles. Was
he making more revelations by tho change 1
He watched the first opportunity to push tho
garment Inn little. Could hosuccccd in hid
ing It, It would relievo his embarrassment.
Again ho watched hls chance, and nga in stow
ed away tho linen. It seemed interminable,
like tho doctor’s tape worm, and the more ho
worked nt it the jpor i there seemed left.
In the meantimohls conversation took the
huo of hls agony, and hls answers bore ns
much relation to the question os the first lines
of the Songs of Solomon do to tho melancholy'
burthen of “Old Alarm Pottlnglll,”
At Inst, with ono last desperates offort,\tho
whole disappeared and. he cast a triumphant
glance towards Sally. One look sufficed to
show that sho had comprehended the whole,
and with tho greatest effort was struggling to
prevent a laugh. Alccting Ills glance she
could contain horselfnolonger, but screaming
with accumulated flm,' she fled from tho
room; and Seth,'unable to endure this last
turn of agony, seized hts hat and dashed mad-'
ly from the houso, clearing tho stumps llkr! a
racer in the dark, and reaching homo ho hard
ly knew when : or how. As soon' as ho was
gone, Mrs. Johcs looked about- for n clean
night-gown that she had 'out for service ah ‘the
back of tho chair on which Sotli' had sat.—
Sho was positive that'sho took tt nut, hut
whore on earth it was she couldn't concclvo.
“Bally,” cried the old lady from ilio door,
“lfave you seen my nightgown!^
"Ycs.marm," echoed her voice as if In the
last stage of suffocation—"yes’rn, Seth Haw
kins wore tt homo."
It was unfortunately the case, and poor Soth
had stowed it away in the crevices of hls
pants ! It was returned the noxt ilny with an
apology, and ho subscqnontly man-led Sally;'
but many years afterwards, if any article of
any description was missing, of apparel or
otherwise, tho first suggestion was that Sctli
Hawkins had stowed It awey in hls trousers,
Seth Hawkins is now a prominent and In
fluential merchant in tbo city of Boston and

Proper Training.
A very observant and correctly judging
friend of ours, thinks that most persons now
a-days, have forgotten I bat the following wise
sayings are found In thehtblo; and lie requests
us to publish them, tliate thoy may not he
wholly tost sight of:
Tho rod and reproof give' wisdom; hut tt 1
child loft to himself bringoth hts mother to
shame.
Correct thy son arid ho shall glvothee rest;
yea, bo shall give delight unto thy soul.
Ho that sparcth tho rod liateth tils son; but
lio that loveth him chosteneth liliriHolimos.
Chasten thy son white there Is ho;xi, and
let not tliy soul Bparo for Ids .crying.
Foolishness is bound up in tho heart of a
child; hut tho rod of correct Ion shall drive it
far from him.
Withhold not correction from the child
for If thou beatost him with the rod ho shall
not die.
For all labor there is profit; but the talk
of the lips tondeth only w. pcnuty.-Snitt.

There wns no particular demonstration of onr

dortho care of-Air. Cass, Kossuth called to
seo Mr. Clay, but the health of the latter was
too feoblo to adroit of tlio Interview at Hint
time. , Air. Clay is rapidly sinking.
Tha Houso of Representatives continue to
refuse to pass a resolution, appointing a com
mittee to introduco Kossuth to tho Houso.
The members of both Houses, lu their unoffi
cial character, lmvo determined to give him a
public dinner. Kossuth has not yet been In-
traduced to the Senate.
Shortly after noon on Wednesday, Kossuth
under esaort of Alcssrs. Seward and Shields
of the Sennto committed, called at tlio Presi
dential Mansion. Air. Webster Introduced
him to Mr. Fillmore in the presence ofanum-
hor of 'distinguished gentlemen. Kossuth
addressed the President as follows:

M. Kossuth and the President then entered
Into a conversation in regard to tho presont
condstlon of Hungary and tho general politics
of Europe; the interview being conducted
with muttml cordiality and friendliness. At
Its close, At. Kossuth, with Alcssrs. Shields
and.Soward, returned to hls hotel,
Brief Sketch of Kossuth’s Life.
Kossuth was born in 1808. Hls parents
were pioar but of ancient and noblo Wood.—
Ills early opportunities for cducaUon were
limited, but manifesting great precocity of
talent by hls own vigorous exertious, ho was
admitted as a student In tho University of
Pcstb, where ho graduated. Hero ho com
menced tho study of the law, which lie pros
ecuted for some years, as welt as entered
upon tho practice. He was then promoted to
a Judical statlyn, and snbscquontly took his
scat as a member of tha Hungarian Assembly,
Tn this body he took a high stand for hls elo
quence, energy and advocacy of the rights of
Hungary as an independent kingdom.. The
Eiriperor of Austria, who was also- King of
Hungary, had attempted to morgo the two
crowns Into one; and to resist this a journal
Was started of which Kossuth becamo editor.
Because of its fearless opposition to tho im
perial will, In Us editorials, as well as by pub
lishing tho kindred proceedings of tho Assem
bly, tho journal was suppressed, and its odl-
tor imprisoned for two years. Upon hls lib
eration, Kossuth resumed his seat tn tho as
sembly and began that courso^wblch led to
tlio Revolution, Hls subsequent history Is
known.—Macon TO.

The first of January was Indeed a day
worthy of a new year. The snows and clouds

ed in brightness and beauty, imparting cheer-
fuluess to tho thousands of citizens, strangers,
arid visiters Who dtii-tog the day circulated
from ono rcsldenco to another, exchanging
the good wishes and enjoying tho hospitalities
of the day. -Everywhere might be observed
evidences of the keen relish with which tha
day was eqjoyed by our cheerihl, well-to-do
population, and by tho troops of well-dressed
strangers of both sexes. ; Tho President's
mansion was open as usual, and was filled by
a stream of gay and brilliant visiters, who for
three lioura kept all Us spacious saloons
crowded, tendering to the Chief Magistrate
of tho Nation the .greetings and compliments
of the season.

Vico President King, Mr. Speaker Boyd, Ma
jor General Scott, Senator Douglas, tho May
