[ 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?

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, : umber of tie base deed, ordered us to be] carried to a vessel lie hud placed at no . ! great distance, and the sails to he set. ; 1 confess at your feet, SDe, that my J !

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 i y.ou again; overcome by u s„uti- ; j men? of affectionate gratitude; over- • j come 1 will again say, by a sentiment! • more soft, which his captivating man-j ‘ners had inspired; I yielded, and ac- ‘ j ted his hand in marriage. Punish,: jO Sire! punish your daughter if shaj ! iias merited your displeasure. 1 will 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 lump of butter, a little pepper and salt, a pinch of sweet herbs rubbed fine, and a little lemon iuiee ; mix all together and put it into the pan ; ooil it up and pour it over the cutlets. It is usual to | try bacon or ham with veal cutlets, and I to serve them in a separate dish.— Lamb chops are fried in the same way. lo Cry Cork Chops. —Cut them ra j tlier thin und cook them thoroughly.— I They are more savory if dipped in yolk ( )f egg and strewed over with sage and : onion, finely chopped and mixed with’ breadcrumbs previous lo frying. Bubble and Squeak. —Cut cold boiled beef in slices about a third of an inch thick. Fry them till heuted through, and ot a light brown; keep thorn hot before lire. Have ready Chopped some cold boiled cabbage ; fVy this in the pan, stirring it well about, and season it with pepper and a very little salt.— Put the cubbuge into a dish ; and lay the meat urouiul it. To prepare Suasugc Meal. —’lake one-third fut, and two thirds lean, of either pork or beef) chop it very title, and to every twelve pounds ofmeut add twelve spoonfuls-of pounded salt, six of ground pepper, and, if agreeable, nine spoonfuls of sifted sage, with u little dried wintersavory rubbed to a powder. Mix well, and put the meat into skins, or make it into flat balls and fry them in hot fat. Bologna suasages are made of veal,’ pork, and ham, in equal quantities, chopped fine and seasoned with sweet herbs and pepper, thon put into skins, boiled till tender and dried. Jo.mayor Jouuey Cuke. —One quart of Indian meal, add to this salt to taste, and pour over it us much bjiling water as will form u dough. Take tho dough, roll it into bulls, press it on a board to* form the cake—it should be übout the eighth of an inch in thickness, Placff the board in front of die fire so us tho heat may brown tile cakes, turn them, and when brown 011 both sides, send them to the table. Indian Light Cake. —One pint of lu diun meal, one pint of milk, two eggs, one teaspoonful ot butter, suit to the taste, one teaspoonful of dissolved sal serutus. Mix the butter and salt with the meal; boil half tho milk, add the dissolved salooratus und the eggs, aftor they huvo been well beaten, To tho ro inaining half of cold milk. Pour the boiling milk ovor the meal und let it cool. Then add the cold milk and sal inratus. Bake it in a shallow pan. To Broil Kidneys.— Split them through lengthways, und run an iron skewer through them to keep them flat; pepper them, and broil them over a clear fire. They should bo l/ghtly done. Serve thorn in a very hot dish, sprinkle them with salt, and put a bit of butter on each. 7 o Boil Eggs. —The best way is to put them into cold wuter; und whef.” they have boiled up once or twice, if fresh, they will be done. Some per sons prefer putting them into boiling water; they should then boil three'min utes after they come to u boil. Anothor way is to pour boiling water on them and let them stand for five minutes, then strain it oil and pour on more boil ing water; let them stand five minutes longer, and they will be done enough. 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.
