It de!n>tils me to mediiaie upon | the causes wliu’.h have bamtrlil them into this 1 state ol single hlesse,lnessa to coiimnine witl l niv own soul an i inv own experience, and thenc- to draw’ conclusions. It is mv peas nre to divide them oti’ into classes, to enrol them in the Legato ol Honor ucc irding to their proper merits. I shall notice at present but two classes. — The first is of those who without anxiety or undue effort on their part, alter the exertion of those sac ities ami powers of pleasing iM lunse ifU, iiira which they possess.still fimi themselves rapid ly advancing to Hint period where there is no longer hope of rrtatrimony, to that bourne whence no old mml ever returns. As thev > have never indulged in unreasonable antici-j pa lions of success, nor staked their all upon a cast, they remain in an easy and comforta ble state of miuJ.

The class of which l sneak are a ! rrost always in good case.— ‘ three inches of fat on the brisket, as 1 am sinner.’ —and are well guarded fmm th*’ wear and tea-of their jour ney through life by a goodly allowance of ole aginous matter. JL Were it not a misnomer, one might call ’ them motherkf eld ladies,- frequently double dunned when more matured, and evtdeiitl. at easy with the world and themselves. Tliex Dave no stings of disappointed ambitio ; tfieir memories of tl.e past bear no thorn long enough to penetrate the envelope whic. defends t, em. They may be somewhat sad at times when they see a household hearth vocal with child hood’s cheering tones of laughter, but they have no regrets, no feeling of* opportunity unimproved. They (had heaven and the gentlemen so pleased,) might have made a happy a household as any which they n u\ survey, hut thev console thent'eives bv pour ing out their good nature and affection on those who, though not their own by the dear est of all claims and titles, yet share as full a love a'most as if thev were. They delight in all offices of kindness to all who cone witlun their sphere, and hi come the auop ed moth ers of nephews and neic.es whom they genV ra’lv |e! and s|h;l to their hearts c intent. — Fading these, their kindness descends mi ma ny an obj ct, more or less deserving. They do good m their day and generati-m. and in the fulness of years are borne to the tomb They are !’;•> qweirily the subj cts of j >ke th*'*’ life, bttt never of an ill Matured jest. The shall of rid.rule is harmless to tl em, and the\ can chuckle as good bum’*redly over then state as the best. I’liev are sectttvd from ihe ronjrh j->lts nflifl by ah elaat-c cusliinn of* tine urn.ul nattipe. and all their paths are |>leaantness and peace.

Their time is not past in vain, and though they fail in the great oh j ct of their existence, they render essentitf! service to others in accomplishing theirs.— They are ever forward in promoting any thing which has a tendency to matrimony, they are useful in a thousand wavs, as tin wearied listeners to every tale of love or fan cy, ever ready to aid, assist, advise, and if need be, to declare. Though they possess not the swiftness of the winged Mercury, they are excellent go-betweens, interminc'os between the parties. Nothing delights them more than a regular afiitir. and they cuddle and nurse it with as deep interest as if ts *v were rejuvenated and the business was their own. But the subject leads one too far; no rea sonable space ran contain the praises due to the good tempered old maid; it would be as long as a newspaper ohimaiy over a ‘gent’e man of great worth, who has left a disconso late widow and fen infant child'en.’ The second order is of a higher tone and spirit. Earth hardly presents a more noble spectacle than that of tlie old maid on princi ple. She may have been and frequently is. one who has known the fulness and perfer tio” ->r -m Marly and only ‘nve. It took deep aou permanent root n, ‘ o-t^ nrt budded and blossomed, but was nipped in the mu,, rv-ath may have wrung from Iter reluctant gra-p die scarce won treasure ; have chilled and frozen into perpetual mockery of lif- the hopes and joys that had clustered around her path ; may have struck down the baud so lately pledged, and palsied the heart that Iwed hut for fier. The blow, more ghastly in its effects than any other inf] ction, has swept a wav in one moment the life of years. Site lives, she survives the shock, but her soul is widowed: she is not insensible to the regard lavished upon her by those who are left, but sti I her best and holiest feelings are with the dead. Cairn and quiet, more spiritual in her beauty Irom die melancholy which rests unoh her. she glides tip hi her course, and her joy is but to m nister to the j-v of oth rs. Her pre • enre imposes no restraint, though even the wild buoyancy of youth is stilled into a cal mer and more modem?* and gi*e, where rests her sad sweet smile. She dwells on earth as one not of the earth, and none can mourn when she vanishes to a more appropriate sphere. Other causes there are which occasionally lead woman, in the very bloom and hev-day of her youth and beauty, to resign her lair chance in the loln-v, and voluntarily devote liiuseif to the ‘ vestaUtij of love .’ Treachery, where she least of all expected it, may have crossed her path and led her to helieve tha’ there is none ‘among so unnv faithless, laidi fil found.’ She may have poured out her soul upon a false, or worse, upon su unwor thy object, and then if is beautiful to see with what supreme scorn, vel mingled with regret, she assetts the prerogative of the sex. The injured majes v of Iter nature rises into ester gy and life, an-l site spurns the traitor fam her presence. While she possesses this • mud consciousness, she hears herself above all weaker and softer feelings; bur the wrung heart at length triumphs over the factitious pa-'s.,>n of the moment, and she feels in that agony bow sharper than a serpent’s tooth is the pang of unrequited love. But if. under the excitement oT feelings roused into sudden action, she drives from her and forever, under an unfounded imputation, one who still cher ishes an unfading affection, sheatvakes from her ftertzv to a full appreciation of her and .so late loneliness, and doe's for her haste in the long and lingering regrets of future years.

The sm and “air were Hum to the top mist. Tin ship lying over low, her gunwale under wa ler. her deck sra'te’-ed wi'li pieces of h nken b slwa ks and great fragments of sail, ropes spa s, and entire bocks flying off"mid op npo> the ode. The sounds exceed all I had ever imagined; a mingled and fi*rce cri-h : thunder,Whir! and tumult almost beyond conc*ntion.

Abov our heads sail, blocks and cables 100-ene< and rent, were hurled no and down aga'n upon the roof of the round house. It is no pe s hie for one unacquainted with the sea t< conceive fully the phenomena of such a jeeae. The wind is there anew and ap- pilling power, or r.ith- i a timi ( . nid in emal.

It see nee tmj’os-ible that such fearful noises could b* produced except from the dishing to paces of planks and timber.
