in Bracken County, Kentucky. He was the
husband of a young and interesting woman,
and the father of two infant children. Ile was
living in happiness on a farm which i0 11
earned bv his industry, when the gallant l ap
taiu Butler (who afterward fell at t-c capture
of the British Batteries at Fort Meigs) raised
his flag, and solicited the hardy Kentuckians
of Bracken County to enroll themselves among
the defenders of their country. Jo in Woo

privations to which the army of tnc nort.i-we.st
was exposed, during the disastrous campaign
which resulted in the defeat oi W incncster a.

caned the tomahawk of the savage alaes of
Great Britain, and was sent a prisoner ol war
to Quebec.

portunity to make his escape. wati.'Cic,
tlirour h the country, stealing through by-ways,
untfl °bc found himself at Bristol. Hunger
compelled him to enter a j£.*ocory, t.ie ;hm I
quarters of a press-gang. I lore he was press
od, and despite his protestations that lie was a
citizen of the United States, and a tugiti\c pris
oner of war, facts that might have been easily
proven by reference to the military authorities
at Plymouth, he was hurried on board His
Majesty’s frigate Sea 1 lorse.then the flag ship
of the celebrated Sir Peter Parker and com
pelled to bear arms against his own country
men.
On board the Sea Morse were several other
Americans, who, like M ood, had fallen m* tuns
to the British systems of impressment. They
determined on desertion ; and when lying in
the port of St. Johns, they succeeded in secur
ing a boat, in an extremely dark night, and at
tempted to reach thee astern coast ot the State
of Maine. They were instantly pursued, and
were oblifcd to desert their boat on the suoie
of New Brunswick, and seek safety in the
woods. After wandering about for two days,
exhausted with cold and hunger and fatigue,
they were apprehended by a party of British
soldiers and again transferred to the Sea Morse.
The punishment that followed this act of de
sertion, was inflicted with all that ingenious
refinement of cruelty for wnich the British na
vy is so celebrated.
The Sea Morse attached to the squadron
under Admiral Cockburn, was shortly after
wards ordered to the Chesapeake, and took an
active part in the robbing, burning and murder
ing of the defenceless inhabitants of the coast.
Mr. Wood and the impressed Americans were
never permitted to leave their vessels. lie
was on board on the night when Sir Peter Par
ker met his fate on shore. A few days sub
sequent to tills event, he, in company with se
ven other impressed Americans, attempted an
escape in b oid day light, by boldly jumping
into a boat along side, and pulling rapidly for
the shore. One of the number was shot by
the sentinel on duty. The others reached the
beach,but wereaapreke.: '•*•!. immediately on
landing, by a party of the marauders belonging
to the Sea Horse.
By orders of Admiral Cockburn, they were
sent in irons to Nova Scot in, w ere after un

shot. The sentence, however, was commuted
to service for life, in ..is Britunio M ijesty’s ar

broken, he reached London, stated his case to
the United States consul, and by him was fur

lie left New York in J;.:iu ry, and wended his
weary pilgrimage toward t ie home of his child

It is now twenty-six ycirs since he lefl l» r s

LIFE IS LIKE A WEEK.
From the papers of “No:hing-ncw-under-thc-sun So
ciety.”
Life has been compared to so many things,
that it was held, at a late meeting of the “No
thing-new-uncler-the-sun Society,” to he im
possible to institute anew simile on the subject.
The president declared it to be utterly exhaust
ed ; and the vice delivered his opinion to the
effect, that any attempt to meet the demand for
a novelty, must be hopeless. T.,e secretary,
the treasurer, the bottle holder and the coni
m m members, chimed in with this opinion.
They had forgotten the inventive genius of
the individual who had formerly surprised them,
at a meeting in the Sun tavern, by roasting
bunches of 1 lamburgh grapes, hung before a
great tire by a worsted thread, with a captain’s
biscuit to catch the drippings, and which was
acknowledged to be an entirely new dish !
The same person new stood up and said,
“ Life is like, a week!”
“ fiike a week !” exclaimed the chair. —
“Like a week!” squeaked the vice.— ‘Like
a week !” said tiiq secretary. —“ Like a week!”
whispered the treasurer. —“Like a week!”
bawled the bottle-holder. —“Like a week?”
interrogatively asked the common members.
—“ 1 low the deuse can life be like a week ? ’
gabbled they all. “It may be like a day, like
a play, like a flash of light, like a shade of night,
like a dream, like a stream, like a stubble, like
a bubble, like a ravel, like a travel, like a rattle,
like a battle, like a jov, like a toy, like a flame,
like a game, like a road, like a load, like quick
silver in a trough, like a musket going off, like
a beast, like a feast, like a fib, like a squib, like
a viol played upon, like a trial hardly on, like a
potion, hke a motion, like a flight, like a fight,
like t’ e sea, like a tree, like a chase, like a race,
like a cripple, like a tipple, like a trance, like a
glance, like a muddle, like a puddle, like a
vane, like a lane, like a whistle, like a bustle,
like a match, like a watch, like a riddle, like a
fiddle, like a reel, like a wheel, like a bother, like
another, like a tub, like a ‘ Nothing-new-under
the-sun Club!’ but like a week ?—there can
be no resemblance !” Nevertheless life is like
a week.
Monday. —We know not exactly how it be
gins ; but on Monday, its first day, only look
around, and you will see the general pursuit
of human kind is suction. It is called Saint
Monday—a fit and congenial appellation with
the holy innoeency of childhood. At tin's
early stage in the division of time, the oracle of
truth is listened to with a tention, as at the sa
cred well of Rabelais, and fiithfully obeyed in
his admonition tc “ trine, trine, trine!” Na
ture is pliant and pliable: stubbornness of
character has not superseded instinct; and,!
though neither man nor child can walk alone,
they are not too proud to receive aid and sup
port in their helpless condition.
Teusday —The leading-strings and rocking
chairs arc gone. We cannot only walk but
we can run. Grrccn are tnc notes beueaiti
our feet, clear is the firmament above our
heads ; and, lo ! the butterflies of spring are
dancing and careering before us in the lig'ut
-50:n3 air. This is our day to give them chase.
Most escape ; but some arc caught, of fragile
frame and evanescent hues. We hug and
admire our treasures —our first victories in
life, the bright rewards of our first exertion and
perseverance. The flies are our own pity ’tis,
that the moment of their seizure is the moment
of their destruction.
Wednesday• —Ah! how diderent is the 1
pursuit to-day, vet how much the same ! and
iiow little have we learned by the lesson of |
yesterday! Love has sprung up in the bo
som, and woman is the object of our desire, j
The purple light of passion enshrines the visi- j
blc world with a haze, a colour, that imparts at i
once a depth and a glow, altering the form and
aspect of all things. From one grand and i
pervading idea within the heart, emanates that :
strange medium which encompasseth whatev
er the eye beholds, or the senses endeavour to
appreciate. In love, by love, through love, the
conversion is complete; and the mid-day of
life’s week is a wonderful phenomenon. But,
alas ! as on the preceding day, there are many
disappointments. Alas! still more; in some
instances, the triumph is attained. Soon does
the purple light become gray, and the visible
world return to its own plain and sombre
shapes. The butterflies have mouldered into
dust, and their successors . But let us
proceed to
Thursday. —Ambition fills the soul. The
lethal strife of war; the struggle for pre-emi
nence wheresoever the mind and tongue of
man may be engaged in intellectual conflict;
the fierce contention for superior wealth, or
power, or fame ; the emulation for a place for
, self, however snvdl in extent, and little in ad
vance ; such arc the and irkcr efforts of the se-
cond mid day. There is yet a stir in the blood,
an excitement in the stormy game, a glory in
tiie final success. If we are not happy, we
are busy : if we have no time for enjoyment,
we have as little time for discontent. v The fires
of hope, so far from lieiug extinguished, con
tinue to burn, perhaps more steadily than be
fore ; and toil and pleasure, and chagrin and
expectation, and failures and stimulus, pass
our Thursday hastily away.
Friday. —\.v; rice, cold, bloated, and selfish,
succeeds to the sole command. The greedy
is more ravenous ; the miser more unnatural;
the liberal, parsimonious ; and the very prodi
gal saving. Gold is the idol of this period;
the dross which cannot smooth, hut makes the
bed of sickness an une isv bed of ca e, though
it nmy gild the g udy c dim, and plume the
showy liearse. The voice of wisdom ha s
ceased to have the slightest influence over the
mind of besotted man. lie grasps with the
greater energy at what is the more useless,
as lie must leave it as soon as clutched. The
longings of Monday, of Tuesday, of W ednes
day, of Thursday, have all sonic semblance of
reason, and some aecommendnt'on for the hu
man race ; but the sordid and clinging wretch
who at this stage of existence livos only to op
press and grind his fellow-creatures is a mon
ster to be abhorred, and neither pitied among
the weaknesses, nor excused among the foi
hos. nor pardoned among the errours of man
kind.
Saturday. —We are tired with the long con
tinued labour. Our stiffened limbs have for
gotten the buoyant activity of the butterfly
hunt ; our over-laden memories, the mad and
dazzling feelings of the succeeding chase; our
wearied spirits the agitating impulses of our
ambitious day ,• and our stricken consciences
array in dread before us the perdition of our
worldly guilt. What seek wc now but re
pose ; to return to childhood again, to be qui
et, io be sustained, to be nursed and upneld, lo
be troubled no more?
Sabbath. —Life and week arc over. The
Sabbath of the grave and of rest is ours. Ob
livion hath fallen upon the past, with all that
hath charmed or afflicted, soothed or embit
tered, l>!cst or wronged its fleeting hours.
Oh that looking back thereon may encourage
ils to look forward with humble confidence !
And that we may be able to comfort ourselves
with the thought that during this week of life
wc have done our best to make the paths of
our brother-sojourners path:-; of peace and
jov ! Hid men but do so, how much brighter
would lx; the day's, and how much calmer t ie
nights, of all the in-dwellers of the earth !
As it is, wc are only aware of the preva
lence of such dispositions, and such a system
of conduct, in the president, vice, secretary,
treasurer, and common members of the “(No
thing ?) New Under the Sun Society who
have unnimously agreed that this paper is a
novelty, and worthy of the Magazine, which,
being only a year old, is deserving of being

TRUE LOVE.
They know little of this passion, who deem
it the offspring of sighs and protestations, of
oaths and tears, of prayers and entreaties, and
all the small artilleries of courtship. These
are but the husbandry which calls forth the
common produce of common soils ; the need
ful aliment of that great principle of nature,
which alike peoples our cities and our plains,
our rivers, and the air we breathe. In many
a heart, where it has never been awakened, lies
the subtle essence, which, when touched by a
kindred essence, starts at once into giant life.
And how manifold are the channels through
which that kindred essence works itself a pas
sage to the sleeping mischief! A word, a
look, a tone of the voice, one pressure of the
hand—though a hundred and a hundred have
preceded it—a simple ‘good night,’ or a part
ing‘God bless you !’ from lips that have pro
nounced the former for months, shall, in a pre
destined moment, be like the spark that falls
upon the nitrous heap, followed by instant
| combustion. And then, what a resolution is
effected. The eye sees not—the car hears
i not—the mind perceives not, as they have
] been wont. Anew being is created—the
past is obliterated : nothing seems to remain
of what was; and the very identity of the ob
ject, by whom this delirium of all the faculties
has been produced, is destroyed. We arrive,
in vain, to conceal the mere man or woman
we have known, in the lover of the mistress we
now adore. Spell-bound in the fascination,
enthralled in the idolatry of the suddenly awa
kened passions, we discover wisdom, wit,
beauty, eloquence, grace, charms, benignity,
and loveliness, where hitherto we beheld them
not, or, at the most, had only dim and vi ion
ary glimpses of their possible existence. Pic
ture to yourself the block of rough and shape

Canova, a Chantry, or a Flaxman, have chip

FEMALE MARTYR.
Among the articles of late intelligence from
England, is an account of tho death of a wo
man of the Island of Madagascar, under cir
cumstances which place her name high in the
rank of Christian martyrs. It appears that
tiie London Missionary Society had been sue
ccssful in establishing the means of religious
instruction in Madagascar, and that a number
of the natives had embraced Christianity, in
1835 the Queen issued an edict forbidding
public worship under the heaviest penalties,
and in consequence some of the converts were
in the habit of meeting on a retired mountain
for the performance ofthc duties of the Sal),
bath, which they felt themselves conscientious
ly bound not to intermit. Trie retreat of this
little band was not long since discovered, and
fifteen persons were apprehended, condemned
to perpetual slavery, and their property was
confiscated. Their families were involved in
the same sentence except they had the privi
lege of redemption. A conspicuous individu
al an ong these native Christians was a woman
named Rafaravavy, well known to the gov
ernment a? an inflexible Christian from the
time she abandoned idolatry, which was about
seven years before her death. In the summer
of 1830 she w;is informed against as an ob
server of the Sabbath, and a reader of the Bi
ble. She was then condcmne Ito a fine equiv
alent to half her value, if sold into slavery, and
g ive, on that occasion, a striking example ol
meekness combined with immoveable principle.
In the summer of last year, a box oi religious
books was found near her house, and she was
again apprehended and imprisoned. Her
property was immediately'confiscated, and she
was loaded with irons and kept for several days,
in the hopes that threats and violence would
induce her to give up the names of her com
panions. Tnc attempt was vain. She con
tinued faithful, and firm, and composed, ai.d
employ ed until the moment of execution in
praying for all around her, and exerting them
to embrace the true faith. She was put to
death by' the spear. The best evidence of the
sincerity of this woman’s confession of Chris
tianity even to death, is the fact that she knew
nothing of the fame of martyrdom, and antici
pated no honors from her devotion. She ac-t

duty, and received no ere lit for her integrity'
from any frier.ds around her. Her age Mas

The Separation of Lovers. —Partings are
always painful, but the separation of lovers,
even with an immediate prospect of union, in
volves a sentiment of deep melancholy. The
react on of our solitary emotions, .after a social
impulse of such peculiar excitement, very
much disheartens and depresses us. Mutual
passion is complete sympathy'. I ndcr such
an influence there i no feeling so strong, no
fancy so delicate, that it is not instantly respon
ded to. Our heart has no secrets though our
life may. Under such an influence each un
consciously labors to enchant the other ; each
struggles to maintain the reality of that ideal,
which has been reached in a moment of Hap
py inspiration. Then is the season when the
voice is ever soft, the eye ever bright, and eve
ry moment of the frame airy and picturesque;
each accent is full of tenderness, each glance
of affection, each gesture of grace. \Ve live
in a heaven of our own creation. All happens
that can contribute to our perfect satisfaction,
and can insure our complete self-complacency.
We give and wc receive felicity. We adore
and we arc adored. Love is the May-day of
the heart. But a cloud nevertheless will dim
the genial lustre of that soft and brilliant sky, i
when wc arc alone ; when the soft voice no 1
longer sighs, and the bright eye no longer
beams, and the form wc worship no longer
moves before our enraptured vision. Our
happiness becomes too much the result of re
flection. Our face is not less devout but it is i
not so fervent. We believe in the miracle, but
we no longer witness it. D’lsracli.
Singular Customs. —There is a custom,
proper to Sicily, which I must not forget to
mention. This is a right of purchase of a
singular kind. If any man buys an estate, Lie
it, house, land, or vineyard, the neighbour of
the purchaser, for the space of an entire year
afterward, may eject him by an advance of
price. In vain would the first purchaser, give
more to tne or ginal owner. This singular
law is generally evaded by a falsehood. The
purchase-money is stated, in the articles of
agreement, at a higher sum than has been
agreed upon in the presence of four witnesses.
I here is another no less singular law in Sicilv.
according lo which any man can oblige his
neighbour to sell his house, if he will pay him
three times the worth of its value. The in
tention of this law was, the improvement of the
towns. It was to encourage the possessors
of large houses to purchase the humble abodes
of the poor. Count Stolberg’s Travels.
CANINE FIDELITY.
A remarkable instance of that strong at
tachment which a dog displays towards his
master, and which surpasses almost all human
friendship or gratitude, is given bv the Pauld
ing (Miss.) Clarion, as follows:—-“ Mr. Jesse
Alford, a respectable citizen of this county, re
turning at night from some place in his neigh
borhood, a few weeks since, was unfortunate
ly thrown from his horse and killed. Search
was made, and the day after the occurrence
the dead body was found. Beside it lay a fa
vorite pointer dog, belonging to the deceased.
The next day the body was interred—the poin
ter being amongst the mourners, and very
probably a more sincere mourner than many
who were present on the sad occasion. After
the burial was completed, the dog was missed
from home ; and, several days afterwards, he
was found lying on the coffin of his master —
having scratched away the newly piled earth
until he made his pillow upon that narrow
house, where his affections were buried. The
last time we heard from the poor dog, he was
rapidly wasting away—noticed the caresses of
no one —and persisted in his refusal to partake
of food.”
