lady of died a few monthsago, leaving a great number of legacies torelatives and friends, ami amongst themwas one to a woman named Smith, a daughter of a person of that name who was, INor 20 years ago, a sergeant in the 3Hd Keg- -

iment. I lie executors had punctually dis--

harged all the duties imposed upon themby the will of the deceased except that of

aymg tins legacy, and they gave up thatas a matter almost too wtia ana impinciica- -

ble to be thought of, inasmuch as it seemedso little likely they could ever properlytrace out the legatee, for the lady w ho hadeft the legacy had left no address of the

party, had seen her, and whenshe did hear of her it was eighteen years

ud a half Ago, and only eighteen monthsafter the child's birth!

There seemed to lie little hope of successby applying to the regiment, for Serjeant

muli was dead, died in the regimenteighteen years ago; and it might le morethan possible that, even his name might beburied in the memories of hisin arms, if not in their coffins, for they hail

seen foreign service, and part of the regiment had but lately come from Canada.The 33d of 18 IS might be anoth-e- r

of men to that serving in828, after hard foreign service in the af

fairs of Ct bul or amongst the agues andfevers of Canada! But, even if remem-bered, what of his widow and child? Wouldihev have continued followers to the ''tent- -

ed field?" Nothing was more unlikely,when it was recollected that

Smith wan degraded from his rank 01 oer- -

eant for ionic breach of discipline a shorttime before his death, and his widow mightbe to have lost evenwith llioso who had treated him, to hermind, perhaps, harshly, and have been tooglad to cuit and forget them, liesides,Smith wns a common name. I low many

a.Ties Smiths, and even Serjeant JamesSmiths, might there not have been in theservice? What more likely than that themother, too, should be dead?

It seeired almost chimerical to pursuesuch an and so thought theexecutors. One of these Mr.I. Wheeler, the news-agen- t of Manches

ter, a few weeks ago was with a party atwhen, taking up a Manchester

paper, he read or the movement ol troopsin various directions about the country inconsequence of the disturb-

ad come to and were gone toiiencamp on iveran-moor- .

.'Now or never, thought re; 'there is

but little of success, but we

ought not to lose such an at al

so lie inquired from him if there was an officer with these companies who had Deen

in the regiment twenty years!"Yes. said the sentinel, promptly, "that

gentleman you see coming that way, the

Captain (Captain uough) has Deen 111 ineregiment more than twenty years."

Mr. Wheeh r advanced to meet the Cap.tain, and as briefly as posst

ble. the object of his visit, at the

same time two letters, the last SerjeantSmith had written to the testatrix.

"The entertainments of Robeit Iloudin,which are so peculiar and novel, have du-

lar Aaale Ulrl.Day after day, with the regularity of a

lock, a girl of fourteen, shabbily dressed,and not over clean, has brought apples forsale into our office.

She was here a half hour ago, and ongoing out a moment since, we found herseated on the floor in the entry by a win- -

ow, lost in the pages of a book which shewas eagerly devouring. 'Where did youget that book?' v.e inquired. I bought itat a stand, sir.' 'What is it?' 'A Fairybook. We smiled and walked on; think- -

ng longer of the incident than might at fustbe supposed. She is leading a laboriousife of itoverty, compared with which, all our

trials and troubles seem but small, and yetin the midst of labor, perhaps of deeperanxiety than we ever experienced, she pau-

ses and dreams the old dreams of Fairyand, which we in our boyhood, and our

fathers and their fathers, in young days, haverevelled in. Forgetting the sounds of Wallstreet, the war of carts and engines, shereads fanciful tales of Ouphes and Sprites,and on the floor of our entry makes a 'magic circle for vjueen Mab. v hat mattersto her the exchange of millions of moneyor the gigantic transactions of the street?What if ships are laden and unladen; fortunes made and lost? What if newspapersare to be published; what if the prices ofthe auction room disappoint the sellers, orcotton and grain have fallen, or a steameris below with news of wars and revoluuons?She has no thought or care for all this. Sheis far removed from any effect of changes inthe stock-marke- t: the storms that shakethrones are in an atmosphere she does notaspire to; and the thunderbolts which over-

turn nations, strike on mountain peaks toorich to be felt or heard by her. Her life isin the valley, yet she leaves it, and livesanother life among the beautiful creationsof fancy.

God has made none of us too low todream, and none too high. The same bookwhich occupies that girl s mind on the lloor.has once been the companion of the hoursof some wealthy child, as its gilded livesand rich covers (now stained arid soiled) indicate. The lounger in a rich lauteuil or

on sofa, had the identical pleasure.no more or less keenly, than this poor readerof fanciful stories.

And what after all is the great difference

between her and us? We all dream dreamscontinually, and our ambitions are too Often

schoolboy fancies, that we lorget not in ourlives. We grasp ot bubbles which breakin our hands, we pursue phantoms that fly

K.foie us and vanish only in the graveyard!

Slavery has recently been abolished in

in Cayenne. Great fears were entertainedas to the result die whites that they would

be massacred by the blacks, and the blacksthat they would be slaughtered by the

whites. Dut the Governor issued his proc-

lamation abolishing slavery; little by littleconfidence was restored, and shortly thous

ands of blacks repaired to the Governor'smansion, thanked him for his proclamation,

and then proceed! to church to thank God

lot giving them liberty.

Buenfta Ayre?, in 1635, it became necessaryto forbid any one going beyond the settle-ment, on pain of death, in consequence ofthe savages murdering all who came intotheir hands. A Spanish woman, namedMaldonota, however, eluded the vigilanceof tho guards, and made her escape. I laving wandered through unfrequented roads,she entered a cave to repose herself, where,to her horror, she encountered a lionessbut her terror soon changed to surprise whenthe lormidable animal, approaching her..a aa.a.. Scaress! and licked her with mournful tries,rather calculated to excite compassion thandread. Maldonota soon perceived that thelioness was with whelp, and that her groanswere the complaints of a dam seeking toget rid of her burthen. Inspired with cour-age, Maldonota assisted the effort of naturein that awful moment when she seems reluctant to give life to beings which parentsare to enjoy lor so short a time

But, in thecourse of time, the family dispersed, andthe lioness, no longer calh-- d by maternalkindness to the cave, disappeaied also.lunger again forced Maldonota to go in

start h of food, w hen she was arrested bythe Spanish soldiers, and conveyed back tothe commandant, who ordered her to be tiedto a tree in the middle of the wood, and tobe left there, the food of beasts. Two daysafterwards the soldiers found her alive, sur-

rounded by hungry tigers, eager to devourher, but who were kept at a distance by

uoness, who, with her whelps, were lying at her feet. When the lioness saw thesoldiers she to enable them to unbind her benefactsess; but when they tookler away, the lioness and her whelps fol--

owed her footsteps, showing all the marksr regret and ahection that a disconsolateimily could for the departure of a dear and

near relative. 1 he commandant, informedof the whole adventuie, suffered the womanto live who had been so visibly protec tedby heaven.

'S caaperaaca Mlaliatira.A correspondent has communicated to us

some rather startling facts regarding the restive consumption of intoxicating liquors

and biead in Edinburgh, which he hasculled from the Post office Directory. Weobserve from his statement that in this city

lere are 2iH spirit-dealer- 360 irrocers andspirit-deilers- , 4'C hotels, 51 taverns andcoffee-house- 18 wine-merchant- and 98wine and spirit merchants making !02concen s in all. .Assuming that at each olthese places an average of JL'." a week isrealized from the sales, the amount realizedwould be 1,10 per week, and no less asum than 234,520 a year ? Turning toanother page, we find that the number ofbakers in the rity is about 200, the amountof whose sales, at JtT3o a week, wouldamount to Jt'312,0o0 or only about iTTT,- -

180 more than the amount annually expended on intoxicating liquors ! ScottishVress.

It is very cheap; someare s. kl for twenty dollars, ami the pricevaries from that to thirty. The machineis fixed on a table, and in a very small box.It is worked by a treadle, and every move-
