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 ed father will go with you." .

It’s a 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.

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.

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 often relates the story himself for the ainusc- ment of hls young friends. r Breaching for. th* Manjr.< Wo give below tlio’rcport of a ’!

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. New Year’s Day. The first of January was Indeed a day worthy of a new year. The snows and clouds and gloom of tho preceding weok disappear ed with the old year, and tho now ono emerg 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.

Kossuth, nt hls lodg 5 ings, to pay tholr respects and offor tholr re- spoctfril salutations to himself and hls cstima- blo lady.
