THE BEAUTIFUL CAP FIVES. [
lticliard Macw ill w os the son of a rich
merchant of idotilio. Ho united to Uio
graces of hin purson ami the talent* of
Ills mind, a tend*-r t. rid conipassicnate
heart. This gave a greater value to Hie
other endowiiisiii•, t.lt which he was
favored by nature.
Thu concerns of commerce led him to
Algiers, where lie oua dav perceived a
vessel arrive, in which were two young
females, weeping bitterly. Extremely
atFcted by asignt like this, lie approach
ed th# ship, and earnestly enquired'the
reason ot their sorrow. He was told
that they were two young slaves, lately
taken, and now brought inure to be sold.
Moved by the soft feelings of compas
sion, he instantly otfbrwd to purchase
them; and having paid whatever tne j
covetous pirates demanded, he begun to
comfort them in the must courteous man- j
nor; accompanied them oil board his I
own ship; assured each oi them that
they were iree, an 1 that he was ready !
to supply them with w Latever they might |
have occasion for.
At generosity so unexpected, the, I
two iadios, overcome with astonishment |
and joy, fell si his feet; and the groens
L.i>l’ distress gave place to the most lively
accents of gratitude and exultation.
Colli were marked by a genteel ap
pearance and noble mien, and one of
them was exceedingly beautiful.
Richard was struck with her. ‘i he
sentiment of complacency, vv’nich a ten
der interest for a relieved object ol dis
tress ever inspires in ihe breuat oi a be
nevolent man; the feelings of gratitude
he had discovered in this female; above
all the merit he had perceived she pos
sessed, her discernment, her genius,
her prudence, her vivacity, the soft-;
ness oi lier character, the polish of her j
manners, and, finally, the signs of a no
ble and wise education, soai. cteu him,
that he soon felt ‘he most ardent attach
ment for her. The female of his heart,
already united to him by the gentle ‘ies
of gratitude, perceiving that his a dec- 1
Donate solicitude for her increased dai-:
ly; that to a beauty of person by no
means common he joined the far superi
or advantage of a cultivated mind and
a well formed heart, was not able to a-;
void feeling tor him a passion equally
strong. ‘
Richard often intreated her, in the
tendercst manner, to make known to
him her name, hut family and her coun
try. Sit* cuptented hersol h f°rm
ing him that her name was L .lA.unz-',
and that her companion was culled Isa
bella, but she begged to bo permitD
conceal the r-sl. “It is’ enough,” sail
she “that the heavens have not nude
my birth unworthy oftho kind attentions,
you have shown me, and that one day.
you rnuy be amply compensated.
Arrived at Dublin, Richard introdu
c'd the two lum sto his fa ter, informed
him in w hat i tanner he had acquired
them, and was not able to o oeal the
loud Kciitimeu:.'. wi h ulnch (Jonstaoza
had uqspiivd him. The good Dthm
commended the geiu rous action of Ins
sin in rescuing them liom slaveiy, but,
he approved nut of the connexion lie-
i wished to for n with the stranger; a con- ‘
| nexion which, at first view appeared but j
i little suitable. Hr, therefore opposed it!
| for some time, until, evercome by the ‘
I noble manners and amiable temper he j
j discovered in her, he found himself not
j longer able to withstand the fervent de- j
i .sires and repeated an treaties of his son. j
j Richard had already given the strong- j
just proofs ofu love, which as yet he did I
I not darn to avow, and Conxlanza felt a ;
J similar passion for him,-when then fore, J
j she heard him express his attachment in ;
j the most ingenuous manner, and at the ;
same time make her the ollbr of his hand ,
j she foil a lively pi. asure, bui sue re.
1 muiued in a state of doubt and
some time. At length iove ovi.r-j
came her. Richard saw his most ar- j
dent wishes crowned with success, ami i
before the end of the voar, a most beau- !
•> >
tiful and engaging boy was the fruit of j
their happy union.
Two years glided away in nil the j
charms of domestic peace, and the pur- j
est love, when Richard was compelled, j
on account of his affairs, to undertake a
new and longer voyage. At his separa
tion from his loved Constants, bis tears
flowed in abundance. Nor could lie re
concile himself to it, without taking with
him her portrait, which he liau set in a
ring.
After various travels in different parts
he at length came to Palanno. Here,
as he was one day contemplating Iny
lovely image with the most fix ii atten
tion, from which he was unable to raise
his longing eyes, it happened that a gen
tleman of die court, who stood near him,
recollected the picture, and immediately
went stid informed tiie king of what he
! had seen. Til# king instanily ordered
: Richard to appear before him, and art
| fully tonud the conversation upon a va
! riety of indifferent subjeols, observed tli
j ring in the most attentive manner. At
the fu st instant, he felt the g'cutesl per
tubatton : 111211 co.ice,ding the stale of
j his heart, lie calmly asked Richard what
person that poilrait represented# “It
lis the picture o( my wife,” answered
{ Richard. “Os thy wife ! And where
does she reside at present?” “At Dub
lin with my faihei.” “What is her
name?” “Oons'.anza.” “Is she a na
tive *f Dublin, or a stranger?” “She
is a stranger, Sire, but of w hat country,
Ido not know.” Saying this lie inform
ed him how ho had delivered her from
tile hands of pirates; that he had con
ducted her with him to Dublin; and
made her his spouse.
The king having heard everything at
tentively, Without replying, gave oide.s
that he should be ins antly arrested.—
lie commanded also that a vessel be im
mediately got ready, and seutao Dublin,
ha order to conduct before niva Uonstau
za, her son, and Isabella.
Who caii sufficiently express the de
fection and consternation of the misera
] uie husband, when lie s.i . ... • danger in
jto w hich the imprudence cl’his conver
sation had plunged him? Wiiat the

I seized by ordt r of the king her father?
1 Wiiat the desolation of the wretched old
I man who saw himself.deprive.) at once
jof ivis daughter-in-law, his grandson,
and own son?
Constanza being arrived at Palermo
and brought before tiie king, was ready
at first to sink with terror; then taking
I corn age, she prostratsd herself before
him: ‘-Sire,” said she, “1 must appear
guilty to you in a thousand respects, arid
with deep submission 1 wait for the cl.
sects of your displeasure; but this ten.
der son, but his unfortunate lather may
jhe spared. Yet if you would but per
! mil your anger to give place fur a rno-
I ment to your accustomed pity, you
! would pci haps find me less guilty than
II at present apppeur.
j “On that fatal day which took me ,
from you, 1 was diverting myself with]
Isabella in that part of the royal gardens 1
; which looks towaids tiie sea. A riurn- 1
ber of men, who were then in ambush, ’
came suddenly to to us and carried us!
j away. Tenor, gri ;f, hud despair made i
i us cry out with the greatest vehemence
—all was useless. The duke of Bari,

carried to a vessel lie hud placed at no .

! that you would too readily suspect that
j i was an accomplice of tiie flight, and;
I dreading the effects of your resentmerit, !
1 1 had not courage to make myself'j
j known. Ife conducted me to his father, j
! and after having shewn me, for a long j
j time, the most respectful attention, al- 1
j though I was a stranger to him, although
I unknown, although determined to con
! coal my family, he generously offered
I me his hand. 1 have offended you,
: O Birc! pei Imps 1 not deserve to he re
j guided by you ns your daughter; but
j abandoned, us I believed, myself, by all
I the world; agitated by an 1 vincible dread
jof your displeasure; despairing of ever j

j ted his hand in marriage. Punish,:
jO Sire! punish your daughter if shaj

not complain; but the generous bene-
S factor to whom I am indebted for liberty
and life—but this lovely innocent child
—Alas! you cannot he willing they
should sutfer for crimes that are all
my own !”
At language like this, which was ten
dared more powerful, more energetic by
die expression of her eyes, her counte
nance, and her voice, the king, who had
discovered hitnsel('offended and severe
at the beginning, gradually grew calm,
and at length melted into compassion.
The humble and submissive attitude of
Constanza; her sobbing ami tears; the
weeping of the inf ant, which gave great
er force to that of the mother, made up
on his heart a powerful impression. He
affectionately extended his hand to his
daughter, who was prostrate at his feet,
r.nd tai.'ing her from the ground—
“ Thou hast offended me,” said lie, “in
forming so unequal a connexion with
out my consent; but thou hast offended
me much more in doubting of my cle
mency, if thy flight was innocent. But
since ! perceive that the only injuries
thou hast dune tne are Uie effects of
weakness and not of vice, 1 acknowl
edge myself again thy father, and par
d n thee.” Saying this he affectionate
ly e nbraced her, and gave orders that
Richard should be brought before him.
At tiiis command Constanza shed a tor
rent of tears; tea 9 at once of tender
ness, of joy, am! of gratitude; but the
king was much more: moved when lie
saw them accompanying bis own.
Richard, in the meantime, who had
been so long in a slate of painful sus
pense and uncertainty about bis fate, ag
itated by a thousand terrois at this new
Ol der, approached pale and trembling.
When he saw Constanza, a sudden
chill passed through his whole frame:
but to this a much greater ardor and
transport soon succeeded. Without ro
garding tnoso who wore stunding around
him, and forgetful of everything besides
he on a sudden spiang into her arms,
and embracing her and his son alter
nately, he stood clasping both for con
stderable time without being able to ut
ter a word. At length springing from
them and falling at tne feet of the king,
“accept,” said he, “J accept, Q Sire.’
henceforth, v.itii perfect submission,
whatever may be your ci termination.
S.nee 1 have been permitted to see a-!
gain the two dear objects, upon which!
terminate all my wishes, 1 desire but
one tiring more. 1 entreat only that
they—that my 7 father ”
“No, my son,” interrupted the king,
“No, be not troubled. Dear not.
From her story anti that of my daugh
ter (calling Constanza to him, E know
lliy innocence and admire tiiy gener
ous mind.—God has determined to re
compense theo for it, and I adore his
counsels. Live each of. you happy,
and may your children be the comfort
of my old age.”
Here they again wept, and tenderly
embraced each oilier. Tne king iinrne>
diatejy dispatched a ship to Dublin, in
viii.ig the fathar of Richard to come to
Ids court. The old man instantly ae
: copied the invitation with t-ansports oi
joy.—Blessed of heaven, all enjoyed to
gether the most blissful and happy days;
anti Richard now had tiie pleasure of
being able more largely to exercise that
benevolence, which had been the found
ation of’his elevation and bis fortune.
Tala oi a Shirt Collar.
We find the following ricn story in a
late number of the New York Spirit of
the Times. As the weather is very
w arm, we recommend it to be read in a
cool corner, or io, a shady grove, ut:
son. o of our summer retreats or water
plate -a
1 will give you an adventure ofu
bashful lover. His name was Damp
huie, hut we used to call him “Jackass”
for short. Heaven help me if he should j
ever hear this story ; 1 hope he don’t!
take tiie Spirit.
Among his many misfortunes, for he I
was cock-eyed, red-haired and knock- 1
kneed, h : numbered that inconvenient!
one of baslifulness; nevertheless, he
was fond of the ladies, although when ‘
in their presence he nover opened hisi
moutii if in- could Rip it, and when he i
didspeukhe used'both hands to help
him to talk; in fact he was a young 1
man of “great actions.”
Jack one warm day fell in love.—
! |lo had just graduated at College, and
j begun to think he must seek the Indies’
.society; he was getting to be a man, j
and it looked manly to have a “pen
chant.”
So Jack fell in love with tiie siveet
es , liveliest most hoydenish girl in the
souiire —but how to tell his love. There
v, tlie rub. He had heard a good
deal of the “lunguugo of the eyes,”
i’l.! he accordingly tried that; but
v. ’ 1h • looked particularly hard at the
I . > in which Miss Emily was in
I lie n.il.it of silting, some person on the’
cdier side of the street would invariably I
j bow to him, thinking he was endeavor-’
I ing to catch their eye. He has despi
] sed expressive eyes ever since.
At length Jack obtained an introduc
tion through his sister, and with her he
called several times, hut she was ob
liged to leave the city for a season, and
ns each interview had only increased
his urdot lie finally determined upon
“going it alone.”
Long (tef’ore the hour fixed upon by
custom for an evening visit, he found
liiniself arrayed in his best. Blue
coat, metal buttons, bhjek eassiinere
pants, (said pants being a leetle tighter
than the skin,) and a spotless vest. —
The journals of the day state, as a.i
j item of intelligence, that the thermom
eter ranged from 75 to 80 deg. Jack
swears it was a hundred. As the hour
gradually grew near, Jack found his
perspiration and courage oozing out to
gether, and he almost determined to
pull off and stay at home. He conclu
ded, however, heki take a walk pastthe
house and sue how lie felt.
By the time lie reached the mansion
he firmly concluded not logo in, hut
on casting Isis eyes towards tiie parlor
i window, and perceiving no si >ns ol
life there, he thought it probable that
no one was at home, and since he had
proceeded so far, lie would proceed
farther and leave his card.
No sooner determined than conclu
ded. In a reckless moment he pulled
the bell the darn’d thing needn’t make
such a “cussed” noice. The door was
opened as if by magic, and the servant
girl politely asked him in. Miss Emi
ly v., Mono in die parlor, and would
be delighted to see him.
O Lord ! here was a fix ! Go in a
dark parlor with a pretty girl alone!—
Jt was too late to retreat; the-girl had |
cio.-ed the front door and was pointing j
to the parlor where “Miss Emilv was!
sitting all alone.” Being perfectly
convinced that no choice was left him,
into the dark room be walked, or rather
slided.
All was perfect chaos to his eyes for
a moment, but only fora moment ; then
from the deepest gloom came forth an I
angel voice, ‘'bidding him welcome
and draw near.” To obey the ordor
was but the work of a moment, as lie
supposed ; but he little dreamptof the
obstacle which faie had thrown in his!
way. He knew full well the stream)
of love had many ripples, but full grown
snags entered 11 it in to his calculation.
Judge then oi his astonishment on
: being tripped up almost at the fair one’s
I feet by a fat stool with plethoric legs,
which chance or a careless servant had
placed exactly on his road to happiness.
Over he wont, and as the tailor hud not
allowed for an extra tension of muscles
and sinews, he not only “procured a
j tumble,” but also a “compound frac
ture” of the black pants aforesaid ; said
fracture extending all across that point,
which comes in closest contact with the
chair.
Having picked himself up as careful
ly as circumstances would allow, the;
smothered laugh of Miss Emily, “not
setting him torward any,” ho at last)
succeeded in reaching a chair, and)
drawing his coal l !s forward to pre-•
venla-disagreeable expose, sat himself
down with ns much grace as a bear
would be ex, and to exhibit when re
quested to tiai-.ee 011 needles.
The young lady was almost suffoca
ted with laughter at the sad misfortune
of the basliful lover, felt truly sorry for
him, and used all her powers of fascina-
I lion to drive it from his mind, and even
|tual ly succeeded so far as to induce
him to make u remark.
On this rock he split, for just at that]
moment she had discovered that she!
had lost her handkerchief- VVhal had
become of it ? She was sure she had j
!it when she came in ! It must certain
ly he stun-, whole about.
“llav’nt got it under you Mr. Dam
phule ”
Jack was sure that could’nt Lo so,
but poor Jack, in venturing an ~ nswer,
! coul-i not possibly g- along without rai
sing his hands, and of ‘course he must
drop iiis coat-tail. In his anxiety to
recover.the missing viper, lie even
inclined bis body so us to gel a glance j
on ‘.be floor. As lie did so the fracture j>
opened, and behold, there lay, as- lh<
lady supposed, her property.
It was the work of a moment to seize :
the corner und exclaim
“Here it is, sir; you need’nt trouble I
yourself. Raise u little; its under
I you!” at the same time giving it along
pull.
Alas, the “tail” wits told—no escape
—nothing short of u special interposi
; lion of Providence could save his shirt.
But what could hedo? Another, und
another, a strong pull, evincing on the
part of the lady a praiseworthy deter,
initiation to obtain the “lost dry goods,”
coupled with the request—
“ Got up, sir, you’re sitting on it,,’ 1
determined him, and, in the agony of!
the moment, grabbing with both hands
a fust disappearing strip oflinen which!
encircled his neck, ho exclaimed in
heart broken accents, “for God’s sake,!
j Miss Emily, leave my shirt collar!” j
For House ICoepers.
To Bkoil Beefsteaks. —Beefsteaks,
when properly broiled, form a dish
which is generally likou. The gridi
ron should be thoroughly clean, not on
ly on the tops of the bars, but on the
sides also. Cut the steaks about three
quarters of an inch thick; dust them
with pepper before laying them on the
gridiron ; they ought not to be turned
oo frequently, indeed some persons
turn them only once, this, however, de
pends greatly on the taste of those who
are to partake of them ; becuuse, while
some persons prefer them in a half.raw
state, others like them well done. Rub
a hot dish with u shallot, place ihe
j steaks when cooked in the dish, and rub
) them over with a lump of butter, sprin
kle them with salt; and serve them up
1 hot. i hey should be eaten immediale
ily ; every moment they stand they be
come deteriorated in proportion. Eith
er oyster-sauce or mushroon sauce may
be used when any is required.
To Bkoil Mutton-chops.—Mutton
chops should not he broiled on too fierce
a fire, otherwise the fat will cause the
fire to flare, and the chops will be
j smoked und blackened, l’epper them
the same as beefsteaks; but unlike
j’-hose, mutton-chops require constant
turning. They should not be overdone.
When they are done enough, lay them
in a hot dish and sprinkle them with
salt. They require no butter, the chops
being sufficiently fat.
lo Broil Ham. —Cut the liana about
the third of an inch thick, and broil it
very quickly over a brisk fire; lay it
1 on a hot dish, pepper it, and put on it a
| good lump of butter.
Boiled Custard. —Eight eggs, one
! quart of milk, sugar to the taste. Add
) the sugar to the milk with anything to
1 flavor it you choose. Set it over the
lire, and as soon as it begins to boil stir
in the beaten eggs very gradually—stir
all the time one way ; as soon us it is
thick take il off the fire, or it will cur
idle.—Fill your cups und stand it way
to cool. Grale nutmeg over Lofore
they uresentto the table. 1
Short Cake. —Half a pound of butter,
a pound of flour ; cold water to form u
| dough. Cut up the butler in the flour,
j and mbit until they are thoroughly
mixed. Roll the dough out in sheets,
aad cut the cakes with a cutter or turn
bier. Serve them hot, split them open,
und eat them with butter.
Hard Biscuit. —Four pounds of flour,
three ounces of butter, for eggs, salt to
taste, milk enough to form a dough.
‘l ake out a teacupful of the flour and
sei it aside. To the remainder add tiie
buitercut up small, the eggs well beat
en, a little salt, and milk enough to
form a dough. Knead the dough well,
(then roll it ont, sprinkle over it a por
tion of the reserved flour, roll it out
again and sprinkle on more flour til! all
the flour is used. Roll it out thin, cut
! out your cakes, and bake in a moderate
1 oven.
I
Hut Hun Sandwiches. —Make a bat
iter of flour, eggs and milk, and pour
I some into a frying-pan of bot fat, as for
pancakes; let it be very tbin, and when
it has fried for a minute or two, lay
very thin slices of cold boiled bam on
it, and cover them again with some
more batter; when brown on the other
side, cut it into quarters and turn them
to brown on the other side.
To Fry BeafsLeafs and Onions. —Cut j
the steaks about three quarters of an
inch thick ; put u good lump of dripping j
or lard into your pan, and when it is
hot lay in the steaks; turn them fre
quently, so that they may not burn; let
them be nicely browned all over, and
when cooked lay t.icrn in a hot dish be
fore the fire, meantime have in readi
ness a plateful of onions, sliced very
th. , and sprinkled with pepper and
salt: pul them into the pan, and lay a )
dish over them to keep tu the steam; |
turn them aDuut,and let them he cooked
thoroughly. Tney will require a long
lime; they should be soft and brown;
when done, pour them over tiie steaks
and serve up hot.
To Fry Veal Cutlets. —Veal cutlets
form a delicate uish, and should be
fried either in veal dripping or butter, j
Cut them half an inch think, beat up anj
egg, and with a wh sk lay it over the
cutlet on each side; a?\er which dip it
in bread crumbs und lay it in the pan.
Dress cutlets slowly and thoroughly, of
a light brown. For gravy, take half a
cupful of water thickened with flour, a

Pianos and Spinning Wheels.—A
gentleman who has extensive knowl
edge on the subject, informs me that
there are now in Northamp.on ninety pi
anos, which cost not far from SIB,OOO.
Sixty yeurs ago there was not a single
piano in the town. Tho first one was
brought here by the wife of Major
Erasius Lyman, who was Abigail
Bracket, daughter of a Mr. Bracket,
who long kept a public house in School
street, Boston. This was brought here
a few years before 1800, perhaps as
early as 1796. The secom, piano was ’
purchased ■by Ashel Pomeroy, Esq.,
for his daughter Polly, about 1802 or
3. He bought it of 11. T. McGeorge,
who lived at Hockunum village in Had.
! ley. The writer has an impression
that there were not ten pianos in the
town when ho came here in 1822, thir
ty years ago, but is not positive.
SixD years ago there were spinning
wheels in nearly every house, not ex
c _ - g those of the clergyman,! wyer
and physician, perhaps between 300
jaed 400 in all. A large part of these
1 have disappeared.—Some remain in old
I garrets and out-builciings, but many 0
the rising generation 1. or saw one, and
have no knowledge of their manner
of operation.— Northampton (Mass.)
