S-ittgular instance of Benevolence. A French refugee, at Brussels, was surprised in that city by the French troops in their victori- ous entry after the battle of ,_Fleuris. Dreading to be made st prisoner, he fled. A young girl, an entire stranger to him who was sitting before a door, observing the terror and distraction of his air and countenance, seized him by the arm. ‘ Stay 2’ she cried, ‘ you are lost if you go for- ward.‘ ‘ And I am lost if I return.’ he answer- ed. ‘Then enter here,’. said the generous girl, ‘ and be saved.’ , _ ,,‘ The Frenchman accepted l or offer." His hostess informed him she was rgice to the sex- ton of the neighboring church ; that it was her uncle’s house in which she had received him, who would have been far from suffering her to exercise so dangerous a rite of hospitality had he been at home, and she hastened to conceal him in an out-house, where she expected to leave him in security. Scarcely was it dark when some French "sol- diers entered the same place to take up their a- bode for the night." Terrified at the situation of the French stranger, the girl softly followed them without being perceived, and waiting till she was sure they were asleep, shc informed the refugee of his extreme danger, and desired him to follow her. Theirmovement awakened one of the sol- diers, who stretching out his arm, seized that of the refugee, ci‘_ving out, ‘ ‘Who goes’there ?’ The girl dexterously placed herself between them, and said, ‘ It is only me, who come to seek for --—--5-.’ Fortunately she had no occasion to say a word more: the soldier, dcceivctl by the voice of a woman, let go his captive. . She con- ducted the refugee into the house‘, and taking down the keys of the church, with a lamp in her hand, she led him to that place as the securest as- ylum she could find. They entered the chapel which the ravages of war had despoiled ofits or- naments. Behind the altar wasa passage to a vault, the'ent'rance to which was not easy to be discerned. She raised the door, and said, ‘ This ' narrow stair-case leads to a vault, the repository of the ashes of an illustrious family. It is scarce- ly possible they will suspect any person of being concealed there. Descend, and remain there, till an opportunity offers for your escape.’ She gave him the lamp; he descended into this melancholy abode, and she closed the door upon him. His feelings may well be imagined, when examining this dismal place by the light of his lamp, he saw the arms of his own family, which had been‘ ori- ginally of this country. He examined the tombs of his ancestors; Ire viewed them with reveren- tial affection, and rested his head with emotion, upon the marble that covered their ashes. The first day passed away unperceived in the midst of these strong in'rpr_essions ; the second brought with it the claims of hunger, even yet more pressing than the desire of liberty ; yet his ben- efactress came not. Every hour in its lingering passage now increased his suffering, his terror and despair.—Sometimes he imagined the gener- ous girl had fallen a victim to her desire of saving his life ; at others he accused her of forgetting him; in either cases hesaw himself doomed to a death a thousand times more horrible than that from which he had escaped. At length, exhaust- ed with fruitless efforts, with agonizing fears, . and the intolerable gnawingof hunger, he sunk into insensihility upon one of the graves of his ancestors. The thirdtday was far advanced, when he re- cover-cdito a languid sense of his (leplor'able con- dition. Shortly after he heard a sound—-it was the voice of his bencfactress, who_call_ed to lum from the chapel. Overwhelrncdwrth joy as with ‘other man on horseback. >9 -"weakness, he has not the power to aiistvet‘.-.-She believes_him alreadydead, and withvga nlburnful exclamation lets. fall the door tlratxtzoyers the en- trance of the tomb. , At the sound of the falling of the door, the unfortunate man feels his pow-' ers return, utters a shriek of despair, and rushes with precipitation up the stairs. ‘Happily the niece of the sexton had not leftgt'lie spot-s'lre hears the cry, lifts the door, and descends to save him. She had brought him food, and explained the cause of her long delay, assuring him that" she had now taken such precautions, that she could not fail to administer to his daily wants. After seeing him refreshed and consoled, she quilted him ; but had scarcely proceeded some steps when she heard the doors unlock, and the noise of a number of armed men entering. She flew back to the vault, and motioned the refugee to silence. The persons who now ' filled the church were a detzrchmentof French soldiers,who had been sent there to search for an emigrant the sexton was suspected of concealing—The sexton himself led them on. It Perfectly unconsciousof the danger his niece had incurred, proud of his own innocence, he loudly encouraged their-activ- ity, and directed their researches to each remote corner of the chapel, that every spot might at- test his good faith. VVlrat asituation for the two captives ! The soldiers passed manystimes over the fatal door, led by their restless and prying conductor, and each footstep sounded to the trembling victims below as the signal of their death. The entrance of the vault l1owc\'er' re- mained undiscovered,the noise by degrees died a- way, and when the niece of the sexton ventured from the vault, she found the door of the church shut, and every one gone. She again assured the refugee of her stedfast protection, and reti- red. On the following day, and for many succeed- ing days, she regularly supplied him with provis- ions; and the instant a favorable moment arrived for his escape, his vigilant friend conducted him, from his subterraneous abode, and instructed him in the safest means to pass unmolested. Leav- ing the tomb, he gained the country : and soon after rejoining his wife, her presence and affec- tions taught him to appreciate still more highly the services of his generous benefactress. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. LADIES——1 am a poor unhappy girl, with what the world calls a pretty face and a fine person, but no fortune, and am courted by a young gentle- man, who has no accomplishment or qualifica- tion in my eyes to recommend himself, but an estate of five hundred a year: My parents insist upon my marrying him, and I really think he loves me; but I remonstrate against that as I never can like him : and besides, there is a per- son of whom I am very fond, and of whose re- turns I- have no reason to complain, but has at the same time so interior a fortune to the other. that I believe with industry, we might just make out to live sparingly.

It is on a plan entirely new, yet rooms are quite as elegantly done this as the old way. llesides its safety, there are two things in which it great- ly excels, which are its wa‘rm'tlr and permanency. it is expected that this plan will be most useful in_cities and villages, yet the exp-enc'e so little exceeds the method now practised, that it is thought to be quite an object in country houses. Should any one so far consult their interest as to use the above improvement. they can have.lib_- erty by applying to Elisha Brigham, who is my, agent residing in this town. ‘ .IOSEl’l‘I HADLEY, Patcntcc. The Jt.-w.v.——In the year 1290, in the reign of Edward I. the property of_all the Jews in Eng- land was confiscated to the use of the crown;-‘- 28O of them were hanged in one day, charged with adultcrating the coin. Above 15,000 of these unfortunate people in that reign, were plun- -dered of all their wealth, and banished the king- dom. In the year l8l8, in the reign of George -111. Mr. Rothchild, a celebrated Jew, was at the head of most of the loans to the European Kings and Emperors. How remarkably do these “facts speak in favor of the..progress of liberal and enlightened opinions in this country.

I. ran Taxi <3-.taa'r'rir'.. MAN is a£lli‘cted- .i'vitl1 innumerable pains and sorrows, andlyet, we are.constantly adding grief to grief byjaggravating the common calamities of life, .-=by'”our ‘ill usage of one another. Every , man’s weight of aflliction, is always made great- er inproportion to his envy, malice and treache- rjy_"or ill usage of his fellow-men. The storm ofaflliction is constantly ‘beatingion our whole species, and at the same time, we are falling up- on one another. lfmen would alleviate the mis- cries of each other by mutual compassion, be- nevolence and humanity, they might extinguish, on a moderate calculation, one halfof the miser- ies of mankind. There is nothing, therefore, that ought to be more encouraged in ourselves and others, than that disposition which we call good nature, which is more agreeable than wit, and more amiable than beauty: It exhibits virtue with all her beauty and advantages in the fairest light: It is a quality that highly adorns mankind ; for he who is possessed of it, though his charac- ter may be marked for his folly and importin- ence, may pass for an agreeable companion. No society or conversation could be kept up without it,or something that bears its appearance. For this reason, mankind have substituted in its stead, a kind of artificial good nature or humanity-, called good breeding, which consists in an affable, com- plaisant and an easy behaviour. With these ac- complishments and appearances, a man may be-' come popular and beloved, if they, in reality, be founded upon good nature; otherwise, like by- pocrisy in religion, they render a man, when his discovery is effected,more odiousthan a professed infidel ; for, ‘ what is the hope of the hypocrite ?’ though he may for a while deceive us, in the end he will be detected. In short, in all our in- tercourse with mankind, it is the best policy to act upon fair and honest principles, using no dis- simulation. . With propriety it may be said, that ‘ an honest’ and good natured ‘ man is the noblest work of God.’ B, S, Ms %J___ V0 latélc Aromatic Head-Ache , Srtuji .

EKV or none of the snuffs in ordinary use unite those advantages as an elegant sternu- tatory, which Tobacco, combined with other in- gredients, is capable ofproducing. The common Scotch snuff‘ is not/only destitute of fine flavor, but is universally allowed to be injurious to the head and stomach, and sooner or later effects the transparency, and colour of the skin. The coarse black snuffs, instead of clearing and stimulating the olfactory nerves, serve but to obstruct and deaden them ; and in process of time, by stop- ping the passages, has an evident effect upon the speech. The Volatile flronzatic Snzqfi will, by ex- perionce, be found not liable to these objections-— its flavor is fragrant and delightful—-the effect pleasing and salutary—it opens and purges the head-—sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re- moves that drowsiness which_on some occasions will prevail in spite of our utmost‘efi'orts to baffle it. By repeated experiments, it is known to be of essential service to those who are troubled with long, dull, nervous liead-aagltes, and will be found far superior for tlrispurpose to theCepha.lic snufi‘. In cases of catarrh, or what is commonly called a cold in, the head,a pinch or two taken at nigh- on going to bed, will, by moistening the mucus, effectually remove all obstru'ctions before morn- ingeg All those troubled with the hypochondria or”v‘apors, will find in this chemical preparation a complete antidote. Durin_g a tedious confine- ment in a crowded house, or a warm atmosphere, after a fatiguing walk, or a long ride, a pinch or ttyfbiéof this snuff will by its grateful and enliven- ifng’ qualities, richly repay the purchaser the trouble of constantly havingitin his pocket, and which, when well secured, will, for a long time, answer all the purposes of a smelling bottle.-— From its great antiputrescent qualities, no com- position is better qualified to resist contagion; the use of it therefore is indispensable for all those who watch with’, or visit the sick. All sedentary and studious persons of either sex, will find by its occasional use, a cheap and cheering relief from that lassitude which invariably accompanies a long sitting, orimuch reading. This snuff, the fr-agrancecf which is derived altogether from the natural flavor of the principal articles of which it is composed, iswell stopt in a handsome square bottle, made expressly for the purpose, and-which will be found to unite all the advantages of a snail‘ Box. . ’ , Ccrtg']’icatef1‘o1n Dact.
