I AM JUST SIXTEEN.
‘•lToigh-ho,’ yawned Mary Sandliorn,
ns site took tip her lump to go to bed.
‘Heigh-ho ! 1 wonder what ails me?-—I
have no cold, I am not sick, and father
gave me a new dress this morning ; and
yet I want something, 1 wish 1 knew
what it was.— Perhaps Henry could tell
—1 'll-ask him to-rnorrow morning.”
Mary went to bed, and tossed and turn- )
b:ed and felt no better. In the morning
hcreyes looked as if they were bound in
red ferret, and she complained of a head
ache. Nevertheless when her mother of
feted her a strong cup of coffee, saying it
'was good for that disease, she replied T
thnnkyouma, help Henry first if you
please.
Mr. Sandborn, Maiy’s father, was a
J J 7 # j
merchant. He had a store on India or
Long Wharf, and dealt in canvass, hemp, |
raven’s duck, and other articles of Russia
goods. lie was an honest man and a good
father, but took little heed of any thing j
but the fluctuations of trade and the rise
and fall of the market. One day his ‘
daughter him how he liked Henry ;
■Willett’s summer suit. ‘O very well,’
he re.plied, but I should like his pantaloons
belter if they were made of linen instead 1
of crape.’
Henry Willet was the son ofhis corres- ,
pondent at St. Petersburg!!, and had been j
sent in early childhood to Boston, for the t
benefit of our schools. On leavingcollege
at eighteen, he expressed a willingness
to enter Mr. Sandborn’s counting room t
in order to be initiated into the mysteries
■of trade. 'Perhaps he would rather have
■chosen one of the liberal professions, but
■ there was something under his guar.
Ulan’s roof, that made him unwilling
to leave it. So he remained till histwen. v
tieth year had expired, with the prospect
of seeing his name painted in yellow let-
tersafter Mr. Sandborn’s at the expira
tion of his minorit}’. —His principal one
day declared that he loved Henry as well ,
as if he were his son. ‘Ah,’said Mary, ,
‘1 wish he were your son.’ ‘And why
so?’ said her father; ‘Because,’ replied j
Mary, with a smile of betwitching nai
vete, ‘lie would then be my brother.’ |
not wish any such thing.— (
Yet he loved her with an affection beyond 1
that of a brother, and would have told
her so, had he dared. In another year, 1
■tho’t he to himself, If my father makes
the advances I have a right to expect, and
■i»f I continue to give Mr. Sandborn satis-
Ta'ction, I shall become bis .partner, and
of course his equal. M&ry wifi only'be
sixteen then, and it would be unfair to
engage her affections now before she
has a chance to form any judgment for
herself. Courage—a year will soon be
■over, and she will like me as well as she;
does now. s
This forbearance was very honorable
on his part no doubt, but it led to a course
of conduct very little pleasing to Miss
Sandborn. Henry waited on her to church
and looked out for the exercise of the
dav for her, but she had little ofhis com
pany elsewhere. If she asked him to at
tend herlo the theatre or any of the fash
ionable resorts of the gay, he was sure
to bo engaged in business. Mary was
grieved at this, and believed herself
slighted, but her resentment was not en
during. She redoubled her efforts to
please him, and ere the year elapsed dis
covered why she valued his approbation
«o highly. She no longer yawned, and
wondered what ailed her.. The occasion
was as followsu —
She was sick, at leastshc imagined so,
and her father sent for Dr. G . The
good physician listened patiently to her
•complaints of sleeplessness, loss oi appe
tite, &c. and decided she had the vapors.
‘You want air and exorcise,’ he said.—
‘Let Mr. Willett or your father take you
rn an open chaise to Cambridge or Dor
Chester, or Dedham, three limes a week,
and I will answer for your recovery.’
T can’t go to-day, said Mr. Sandborn,
T have too much business to attend to ;
but Henry will go, 1 know, tooblige you,
and 1 dare say you hud as lief have him
as me.’
‘O yes, full as lief and a great deal
rather,’ replied Mary very innocently.
‘He is an excellent driver.’
Henry could have no objection, and
he accordingly drove the chaise to the
door, and took Miss Sandborn in. Till
they took leave of the rough pavement in
lioxbury, neither said any thing, and
then the conversation was carried on in
monosyllables, for Mr. Willett, poor fel
low, was afflicted with bashfulness. At
last, however, matters took a more lively
turn.
‘How green the grass is,’ said the lady
ibr the want of something better.
‘Very green indeed. Jt always is in
the spring time,’ answered Henry, and
then relapsed into silence.
‘What birds are those silting oti the
rail yonder,'said Mary, after a pause of
some minutes.
T believe they arc turtle-doves,’ repli
ed the youth. In fact they were crows,
but the interlocutors were both city bred,
and if they fell into a mistake they
may be pardoned for ignorance of Natu
ral History. The doves, black as they
were, served them for a topic.
‘What, are those the birds that love
one another so well ?’ rejoined the young
lady.
‘Yes,’ said Mr. Willett; ‘the very
same, and it is said that when one of the
pair is killed the other pines away and
dies of grief.’
‘ 1 am sure 1 don't wonder at it,’ ex
claimed Miss Sandborn, her eyes at the
same time filling with tears. *1 am sure
1 should pine and die too in such a case;
should you not, Henry ?’ As she spoke
these words her eye-lids closed and her
head inclined towards Mr. Willett’s
shctfkler. The question embarrassed
him; so did her posture, and he hesita
ted as he replied, ‘1 believe hearts are
not broken so easily.’
Then followed another long pause,
during which Henry’s eyes were fixed
on the roid before him. At last Mary
raised her head with -This is a very long
road; is it not Mr, Willett.’
‘lt is just 45 miles before it comes to
the sea,’ he answered. ‘1 'have travelled
often on the way to New York. It pass
es through Providence.’
‘Providence?’ said Miss Sandborn mu
singly, ‘is it not there people run away
to get married ?’
I have heard so, and believe it is true,’
answered her lover.
‘lf we Were to run to Providence now
and got married, I wonder what sulks
would say,’ rejoined Mary. ‘lt would
be a fine joke, would it not Henry?’
‘1 should not care much what any but
your father might say,’ replied Mr. Wil
lett. ‘Ho would call me a dishonorable
swindler who absconded with the prop
erty entrusted to him. But he will have
no reason to be angry with me, for I
would notask you to do so for all the
money in the world, and if I should you
would not consent.’
‘Ah, Henry,’ said the young lady, ,
‘there is no knowing what 1 might do.’
Here her head drooped again. ‘Do you
think it would be so very wrong then ?,
Would try father be so very angry ?’
‘lndeed he would,’ replied VVillelt. ‘ln
the first place, I have not asked you of
him—he has not refused, and therefore he
would have a right to complain. Besides,
you are so very young that he would have
reason to say that I led you away.’
‘lndeed,’ rejoined Miss Sandborn, ‘1
would tell him that I went away of my
own accord without being led by any ■
body. But why don’t you ask him then,
and if he refuses we shall have a good ex
cuse for running away afterwards; I am'
very forward though, r or perhaps you
would not have moat any rate.’
‘Would 1 not,’ cried Henry,‘Heaven
knows I would. You know that lam
not of ago yet, and set up in business.
He would laugh at me. I must wait un
til I am twenty-one, for then my father is
to advance me ten thousand dollars to be
gin with. I can ask your father then
without blushing.’
‘Why not ask him now what he wil‘l do,
when you come of age ?’ asked Mary,‘l
think I should like very much to know.’
‘What a fool I was not to think of that
before,’ cried Willet. ‘lt would have put
me out of pain long ago. I will ask your
father as soon as we gel home.’
■lt is not necessary to record the rest of
therr conversation, which related princi
pally to their future prospects, which in
their young eyes were tinged with the
beautiful tints of the rainbow’. When'
they reached Mr. Sandborn’s house the
old merchant stood at the door to receive
them. His features deneted much vexa
tion, and he was whistling “O be easy-,”
according to bis cus om when excited,
lie had handed his daughter out of the,
chaise without saying a word, and then
desired Henry to icpair without delay to
his counting room. The youth complied,,
t\nd was busy with his ledger when Mr.
Sandborn entered, still more gloomy than
ever.
•*What is the matter, my dear sir?’ said
he, ‘has the Nautilus been cast away on
her passage ?’
‘I should not care if she was,’ replied
the merchant, forshe vvasinsured for twice
her value, bet mum Henry for that. A
close mouth catches no flies. It is a good
deal worse than that. The Nautilus has
arrived while you were away riding and
is now lying at Rainsford’s Island. She
has brought bad news for us both, mv
bo\ T .
‘Well, sir, let me know it then,’ said
Willet. ‘You must I think have letters
from my father for you and myself too.’
‘There is no letter for you my son, from
your father, or for me cither,’ replied the
old man, btft I hawe heard bad news from
another source, and it concerns you more
than me.’
‘Let me know the worst then, my dear
sir, at once,’cried the youth.
'You will know it too soon, and as it is
I hate to be the one to tell you,’ rejoined
Mr. Sandborn.
‘ The fact is Henry, that your father
has failed and is unable to pay four-pence
half-penny on the dollar.’
‘And how sir did this happen V asked
the young man. Ml must have been by
some visitation of Providence, for my
father was the richest merchant in Peters
burg!! according to the last advices.’
‘He was so,’ said the old man. ‘But he
is now the poorest, and you are right in
thinking he has become so by the visita-
J tionofGod. His stores were all swept
i away by the rising of the Neva, and his
? property is now a Cypher. You know he
f never let his money be idle, and just then
he had invested it all in merchandize. He
• had not enough left to pay me alone, and
, I shall be the least loser among his credi-i
, tors. The greedy Ressiatrs have taken
all.’
‘My God ! What will he do then ?’ ask
ed Henry imploringly,
j ‘DoI’ exclaimed the -old man. ‘He
must set up again, and shall, if money can
doit. If! loose by him now, I have
gained by him be fogey and do.you rest t?.*ket
it to heart mylad.’
This news put Henry’s intended pro
posals out of his head entirely. He did
not dare to think becoming a member of;
Sandborn’s family at least for a while, *but
he resolved to /edouble his diligence and
gain that standing by his own industry
which he had expected to obtain by his
father’s aid. He now shunned Miss Sand
born as mboli as possible, having first
given her to understand that though his
affection was undiminished, he daied not
offer himself .to her father’s heiress. She
did not seethe propriety of his scruples,
for slit; had read a great many novels and
admired the idea of love in a cottage.
She looked on riches as young men often
and young women always do, as of very
little importance, and wondered that Hen
ry did not see matters as she did. She
did not despair of overcoming his obstina
cy, however, nor did she moap or yawn
as lormerly before she knew the nature
of her ailment.
In due time Henry attained his majori
ty, and became the partner of his former
master. Still he had little property of
his own and did not dare speak of the ob
jects nearest his heart, to the person who
could have rendered him easy at once.
'l’lie old man never so much as suspect
cd the state ofhis partner’s feelings, nor
guessed why he shunned the society of all
but mercantile men and applied himself
exclusively to business. He talked as;
much as ever about denatures, short and
long pieces, hemp and duck. Not that
he was merely a follower of Mammon,
but had a heart as open as charity, but
the habit of getting had become to him a
passion in the very spring of life. That
he did not undervalue his daughter's hap
piness will bo seen, (
On the day Miss Sandborn attained her
sixteenth year,l met her father on change,
and man never wore such a ludicrous air,
of perplexity. Hq. answered me, afier
the common courtesies, at cross purposes,
and Behaved in so singular a manner,
that I at last asked him what was the
matter. ‘Matter,’ said he, ‘it is a matter
I cannot understand, but I will show yo« I
what astonishes me.’ With that he took
out his pocket-book, opened it, and ex
tracted a letfW which he said he had
found on his pillow that morning. I open
ed it, and saw the follovvmg words in a
beautiful Italian hand ;
“Dear Father, I am just sixteen.
“MARY SANDBORN.”
‘Now,’ said the old man, ‘what do you
think of that? I asked her myself, but she
said if I could not find out the meaning
myseir,sl>e could never tell me. That was
all I could get of her. What do you think
it means?’
‘Why,’ said I, after some considera
tion,‘Miss Mary is now sixteen and is
well developed for her years. I think
■ 1 can guess she thinks herselfold enough
to be mar wed.’
‘But,’ said Mr. Sandborn, ‘how can
the jade be so forward of a sudden. Till
now she has been remarkably reserved
to all the world especially the young
men.’
‘Depend upon it,’ said I, ‘there is some
thing of that kind in the way.’
‘ Well,’ said the worthy merchant, ‘that
was partly my own opinion of the matter,
■ and if you would advise me I’ll take care
of her directly. She is a good girl, and if
twenty thousand dollars will buy her a
husband, she shan’t be single long. 1
1 recommend his resolution and he went
horns-to pot it in execution. J afterwards
i heard an account of his intei view with his
daughter from his own lips,
‘ Mary,’ said he, had come at his sura-
I mons. ‘4 have been considering of the
matter, and 1 think you are old enough to
be married. W hat do you say to it ?
If you command me to marry, sir, 4
shall try to obey you,’ said she blushing
‘ Well,’rejoined her father, ‘ there is
Mr. Richings —he is as gcod a man as any
1 oh’ change, worth -fifty thousand dollars :
! he has been speaking to me about it.
What do you say to him ?
I ‘O, sir, be is a widower, with a son old
-1 er than 1 am.’ ■
‘ There is Ralph Primrose will be very
! glad to have you. A snug man that—
not worth much, though.
‘ Dear father, don’t mention the old
I wretch. He might be my grandfather.
5 “ Tell me then what kind of a husband
you would hke.’
1 ‘ One as much like Henry Willet, sir,
? as vou can find.’
1 ‘*o, 1 ought to have thought of that be
: fore,’ cried the delighted old man.
They were married three weeks after,
' and many will recognize their acquaint,
auces in this sketch, though the names
3 are changed.

TURTLE CATCHING.
r A notion may be formed of the strength
5 which the turtle sometimes exerts from
the following story, which we find in
1 Lieut. Kernpthorne’s memoirs’ “On the
j Eastern Shore of the Persian Gulf. It
r is the most perilous affair with a turtle we
remember to have met with. The scene
is a small island of Ashtola, lying about
3 twelve miles from the coast of Mekrauon
n the northeast side of the Gulf: “A party
went on shore one night for the purpose of
t catching turtles, a description of which
i may not be uninteresting. We left tiie
■ ship at sun-set, and reached the shore a
boutdark, then hauled the boat upon the
beach; and when this was done, formed
ourselves if? two distinct parties and dis.
i persed to different parts of the beach.
Having reached the place whore we
thought it likely the turtle would land, we
lay down, keeping a sharp look out, and
making as little noise as possible. The
moon had been up some time, and was
shedding her silvery rays on these deso
late regions; the opposite coast in the dis
tance, which is very mountainous, and
the ship riding at anchor, had together a
beautiful effect ; the sea was perfectly
calm, and every thing appeared to be.
. sleeping in the-stillness of night, and not
a whisper hd-'hg hoard among the party,
the surf dashing against the rocks alone
breaking the silence of the scone. We
were thus all in anxious expectation of
the appearance •Off the turtle, the si's bells
had just gone on board—that is it was
eleven o’clock, P. M. when we saw the
first, to our delight, coming on shore just
opposite to ust It looked like a black rock
moving slowly and steadily oiA of the
water. We did not interrupt its progress
until it had gone some distance upon the
beach, when a rusli was made tOxVards'
it, and it was immediately turned over on
its back, without giving it time either to
defend itself or blind its assaiianis by
throwing the sand with its flippers or fins,'
which they do with such force that it is al
most dangerous to come near. It took six
stout men thus to turn the largest that was
caught; and the following incident will fur
ther show the immense strength of these
animals. One ofour two men, the gun
ner,wandered away by himself to the fur
ther end of the beach, where he thought
to have all the sport to himself, not doubt,
ing for a moment that he would be able to
turn any turtle which he (bund; but on the
contrary, to his surprise, he had not been
long absent before bo espied a large one
making towards the beach ; he allowed it
to come up some way, and then ran over
to it and attempted to turn it. AH his en
dcavors were, however, fruitless ; and by
some means he got his hand between the
shell and the neck, which the animal, by
drawing in its head, jammed and held
there so tight that he could not withdraw
it. The turtle then began-to crawl towards
the sea, dragging the man with it; and he
was in imminent danger of being carried j
-off, when he began to call for assistance.
Our pa rty were at first somewhat alarmed
at the Cries, thinking that some serious
accident had happened, and immediately
ran towards the place from which the
sound proceeded, where vve arrived just
In time to save the poor fellow from a wa
tery grave. The turtle was close to the
edge of the sea, and was carrying him off
as if he were nothing; nor was it without
some difficulty that we released him from
his perilous situation—dragging the turtle
above high water mark, and turning it
over. The man got off with only a few
bruises, but was much frightened; and we
had a good laugh at him for his adventure.

THE FIS HIN GCOII MO RAN T.
Besides the ordinary mode of fishing
by net and lino, tbc Chinese are known
to practice a more curious and singular
device, by means of the diving-bird, or
Icu-tse. In.the morning, when the sun
rises, or.e may see on the rivers a. con-,
siderable number-of boats, and several of
these birds sitting on the sides ; the fish
ermen turn their boats about upon the
river, and at the signal which they give,
by striking one of their oars on the water,
the cormorants fly into the river, plunge
over-head, and, diving tothe very bottom,
seize the fish by the middle, then coming
up again, they carry it to the bark, where
the fisherman, receiving it, takes t r ne
bird, and holding her degs uppermost,
makes her disgorge the small fish which
she had swallowed, by passing his hand
along her neck, on which there is a ring
at the lower part, which hinders them
from going directly into the crop. When
the fishing is quite over they take away
the ring, and let them feed ; and when a
particular fish is too large for one, they
assist each other, —one takes the tail, and
another the head and bring it to their
•masters. Sir George Staunton, during
his journey to Hang-tcheou-fou, observed
on a large lake, close tothe canal, thou
sands of small boats and rafts, built en
tirely for this kind ©f fishing. Oh each
boat or raft there were ten or twelve
birds, which plunged into the water at a
signal from the owner, and he was aston
ished at the enormous size of the fish
, with which each ascoaded in its ’beak.
These individuals were so thoroughly
broken in to the service of their mas
ters, that they did not require either
cord or ring about their necks to .pre
vent their shallowing the -pr-ey. They
took thankfully what w is afterwards giv
on in reward and were satisfied. We do
not see why the same mode of fishing
might not be practised with advan
tage in Britain. Our own cormorants
are stronger, and dive as well as
the Chinese. They are very easily
domesticated, and, although exceedingly
voracious, their constant desire for tood,
would, under proper training and control,
prove the essential groundwork of a use
ful character. We have seen tame cor.
i morants belonging to the fishing-villages
i on the east coast of Scotland, which went
i off regularly to feed In the neighbouring
i bays, but would return again when called
to from the shore by those with whose
. voices they had become familiar. They
i no doubt did so in expectation of receiv
t in" rather than of bestowing a reward ;
i but we do not believe that they possess a
less accommodating instinct than those of
f the Celestial empire, or that the egrnig at
i tention to their education would not be at
e tebded by similar results. In our Alpine
. 1 tkes especially, so richly stored with de
?• licious trout, and whither boats can
/ scarcely be conveyed, the services of a
. : well-trained cormorant would be incal
. cuiable ; for on many a breathless sum
t mer day, “even in the grim and sultry
■ hour of noon,” the angler seeks in vain to
I ply his trade. He succeeds in breaking
the translucent mirror, and in discompos
ing the/'airy reflection ol cloud and crag,
yet the finny tribes remain secure amid
the unseen depths of that inverted sky.
But the swift, silent, and insidious bird,
pursuing unobserved the “noiseless tenor”
of its watery wav, would soon secure
them with tenacious bill— Edinburgh |

|TExOCT. H. P. BENHAM. formerly of Mo-
P, Jr bile, now resident of Newburgh, in the
State of New. York, has, after years of atten.
lion to the subject, adopted a method for the
Education of Boys, which, in his opinion, and ito
the opinion of many who have seen it in opera
'tioti, and who have had sons in his care, offers
equal, perhaps superior, advantages to both the
pupil and parent, to any other now in operation.
This plan is in some respects like that of
ordinary Boarding Schools, in others it is essen
tially different. Its peculiarity is in taking the
advantage of the great variety and excellence of
the schools in theViliage in which he lives, there
by enabling to make a selection of Teachers.
The location of such an establishment at the
I Village es Newburgh, on the Hudson, above the
Highlands, has been considered happy in as
much as it is almost unrivalled in the beauty and
magnificence of ns scenery as well as the health
fulness and salubrity of its climate, and although
a distance of sixty five miles from New York,
it is nevertheless travelled repeatedly during the
day and night in four hours, making it therefore
a place of most easy access. This village though
small and containing but little more than six thou
sand inhabitants, numbers nearly twenty schools
with their teachers, all permanently engaged,
and depending entirely on theirown exertions for
success. Comp-tition too ia here producing all
those valuable effects on Teachers which it af
fords in every other department of human exer.
tion; in short, Newburgh is nearly ail that could
be wished as a place for the education of chll
tiren. In this village, in view of the very great
advantages mentioned above, Doct. Bcnham has
arranged the following method which, on experi.
encc, has been found successful beyond his most
sanguine expectation. By care and attention
Doct. Benham is enabled to select from the va
riety of Teachers in this village, Ofic suited in
every way to the feelings, ago, and studies of
each of the pupils confided to his care; and af
ter having seen that the duties of t-he Teacher
are carefully and faithfully performed, he is him.
self in the habit ol reviewing, illustrating, and
explaining the lessons of his Pupils, which gives
them the benefit of two Teachers, thereby mul
tiplying and varying the illustration anti explana
tion, and sealing with more certainty on the mind
the branches to be taught. Nothing can com.
pensate the pupil for the loss of a plain, easy,
and familiar coflversation upon the subject mat
ter of hislessons, and theteview spoken of above
is intended to answer (hat purpose.
The government of this establishment is in
tended to be ertirely parental and admonitory,
7 an d although implicit obedience lo the rules and
regulations is expected of every pupil, vet cor
poreal punishments are believed to be neither use
ful nor necessary. If occasional corrections are
requisite, such only are selected, as address
themselves in the understanding, conscience, or
sense of honor. j
The branches taught in this pi see inejude aR
those taucht in the most celebrated schoo.s in the
i United .States.
