The American Girl.
She laughs aittl runs. a cherub thing;
. And proud is tlte doting sire
To see her pluck the butlsof spring,
Or play by the winter tire.
Her golden hair falls thick and fair
In many 2 wavy curl;
And freshly sleelt is the ruddy cheek
Of the infant American girl.
The years steal on, and, day by day,
Her native cliarrris expand;
Till her proud face Learns to tlte summer ray,
Like the rose of herown blcst land.
Tltere.’s music in her laughing tone,
A darker shade on the curl;
And beauty makes her cltoscu throne
On the blow of the American girl.
Site is statitling now. a happy bride,
At the holy altar rail,
V‘/bile the sacred blush of maiden pride
Gives a tinge to the snotty veil.
Iici‘ eye of light is the diamotitl biight,
Iler in:tocei‘tcc the pcarl;
And these are ever tltc bridal gents
That are worn by the American girl.
How to make a ‘ii’-:)itiig' Wife of an Old Maid.
The following true story might perhaps fur-
nish in:-titer for .':l little comedy, if cotricdies were
still written in England. It is generally the
case that the ittore beautiful arid the richera
young female is, the more difficult are built her
parents and herself in the cltoice of a husband,
and the triore offers tlicy refuse. The one is too
tall. the other too short, this not wealthy, that not
res;tec-tattle enougli. Meanwhile one spring
passes after another. and year after year carries
away lcal after leaf of the bloom of youth, antl
opportunity. Miss Iiarriet Selwood was the
ricliest heiress itt her izative town; bttt she had
already completed her 27th year, and beheld al-
most all her young friends tittited to men whom
she hail at one time or othcrtliscardetl. Harriet
began to be set down as art old maitl. I-Ier pa-
rents becante really uneasy. and she herself la~
mcntetl in private :1 position which is not a na-
tural one, and to which those to whom Nature
an ! Fortune ltavc bcen niggzirdly of their gifts
are obliged to submit; btit Harriet, as we have
>‘?.lltl. was both ttztmlsoitte antl very rich. Sttclt
was the stoteof tltittgs when her uncle, a wealthy
in-“l‘(.‘llEllil in the north of England, came on a
visit to her parents. He was ajovial, lively.
straiglitforwartl man, accustomed to attack all
-litliculiics boltl.l_v and cooly. ‘You see,‘ said
her fa her to him one day, ‘ Harriet continues
-iuglc. The girl is handsome: what she hasto
have for her fortune yoti know: even in this
sctttttlstl-lo\'i;ig town, :10‘. at creature catt breathe
lllf3.—“ii_glllCSI i.-nputatiott against her; and yet
she is getting to he an old maid.’
‘ True,’ replied the uncle; ‘but look you, bro-
titcr, the grand point in..ever_v affairin this world
is to seize the right moment: this you have not
done——it is a misfortune; but let the girl go
along with me, and before the end of three
trioittlis I will rettirn her to you as the wife of a
man as young and wealthy as herself.’ Away
went the niece with the uncle. On the way
home he thus addressed her: ‘ Mind wbatI atn
going to say. You are no longer Miss Selwood,
hut. Mrs. Lttmley, my niece, a young wealthy
t;hi‘d!ess widow; yoti had the misforttine to lose
your ltusband, Col Ltitttley, after a happy ttnion
of a quarter of a year. by a fall from a horse
while hunting.’ ‘But uncle—’ 'Lct me ma-
tinge, if yott please. Mrs. Lutnley. Hcre,look
yutt, is the wedding ring given you by your late
litisbaiitl. Jewels, and whatever else you need,
your anttt will supply you with; and accustom
yourself to cast down yottr eyes.’ Thekee'n-
witted ttoclciutroduced his niece every where,
and the young widow excited a great sensation.
The gentlemen throngcd about her, attd she soon
had her choice out of 20 suitors. Her uncle atl-
vised her to take ti.-e one who was deepest in
love with her. and a rare chance decreed tha‘
this should be precisely the most amiable and
opulent. The match was snort concluded, and
one day the uncle desired to say a few words to
his future nephew in private. ‘My dear sir,’ he
began. ‘we have told you an untruth.’ ‘How
so? Are Mrs. Lumley’s affections—’ ‘No-
thing of the kintl: my niece is sincerely attach-
ed to you.’ ‘ Then her forttine, I suppose. is not
equal to what you told me I’ ‘On the contrary,
it is larger.’ ‘ \Ve.ll. what is the ntatter. then?‘
‘ A joke. art innocent joke, which catne into my
head one day when I was in good humor—we
could not well recall it afterwards. My niece
is itot a widow.’ ‘ Wltatl is Col. Lumley liv-
ittg.’ ‘No, no—slte is a spinster.’ The lover
protested that he was a happier fellow than he
had conceived ltimself; and the old maid was
fortltwith trietamorphosed into a young wife.

“ The Last Bell.”
It was May, in the year l8—(I remember it
as distinctly as ifit was but yesterday) that Isat
beside Lucy Mari tdreadingthe departure ofthe
boat I was to leave in. She was a good girl.
and the only one I ever loved, and I believe the
only one that. ever loved me, at least she was
the only only one that ever told me so. Vow-
ing and being vowed to, of the strong alfection
that bound our hearts together, the time passed
rapidly on. The bell of the boat sounded. I
rose to take a reluctant leave. ' Oh! that is but
t-'ie first hell, do not go till the next bell, the dis-
tance is short and there will be plenty of time.’
The desire on my part to stay as long as possi-
ble readily acqtiiesced in her wish. and I again
quietly seated myself, bull had no sooner done
this than her father, a venerable old man, look-
ed into the room and said. ‘No, William, with
not, and take this advice and carry it through
life with you, ‘ never wait for the last bell.’ Af-
ter a hasty parting. I soon found myse|fburry-
ing to the boat, wlten, out of breath, I arrived
just in season to get on board. We were soon
under way, aitd I sat down to reflect on the old
rnaa’s advice, and soon came to the determina-
tion rtever again to wait for the ‘last bell.’ We
sooti arrived at New York, where Iwas going to
get a ‘little of the world's gear’ to bein a situa-
tion to consummate my anticipated marriage
with Lticy Maria. I took lodgings at it public
house. and after going through the ordeal of the
toilet, walked a short distance before dinner.—
The attractions in the street were so great that
the time passed faster than I was aware. The
dinner bell rung ard I was not there, I waited
for the ‘last bell‘ and the consequence was I lost
my dinner. If my resolution was not firm
enough before, this fixed it immoveably in my
Hllml-. to never again. wait for the ' last bell.‘
The next morning I saw a notice for a clerk.
I applied intmctliately, but Ifotintl the salary
was very sriiall——so much so that the situation
had been refused by a great number of young
men, applicants belitre me. But I wasdetertiiiii-
ed not to wait for the “last bell ;’ so I accepted
the place. went to work, and by close applica-
tion and good conduct soon won the conl‘itleticc
of my employers, and in a few years was taken
into the concern as a partner.
Iobservetl the futttre life of many of these
young men that had rc-fusetl the situation before
me. and without one exception they were on-
successftil in busiuess—tltey were waiting for
the ‘ last bell ;’ while with me otir btisiness soon
increased, and in a shorttiirte [ was able to ac
complisli the desirable utiion with the girl of my
lteari. \-Ve were married, took at-oiitfortahlc
house, and always have, do now, atid expect al-
wztys to live happy.
In close. one word to the ladies. In the street
in which I live there is a lady, that prcsiiriting
too mticli upott the attractions of youth, has re-
fused a number of good ollcrs in niarriage.
Time has passed on. attd she has lived in hopes
ofdoiitg better. She has rtow arrived at an titt-
certaiu age. She has been waiting for the ' Last
B93.’ and I tltiiik she will wait utitil the last, a

Domestic Maitagemetit.
The following article is from the pen of Mrs.
Conant, the new editor oftlte Motlier’s Motithly
Iottrnal, and is copied frotti the First number of
the present volume ofthut valtiahle work.
Child—.\‘lotlter. I want a piece of cake,
Mother—I ltav’nt got auy—it’s all gone. _
I saw it when you opened the door.
M.—-\Vell, you don't need any now; cake
lturts children.
C.—No it don't ; (w/n’-nz'ng) I do wait! a piece;
mother. tnayn't I have a piece?
M.—-Be still, I can’t get up now, I'm busy.
C.——(cr3/ing aloud) I want a piece of cake. I
want a piece ofcake.
;\’l.—Be still, I say, I shan’t give you a bit if
yoti don't leave of} crying.
C.—(still crying‘) I want a piece of cake. I
want a piece ofcaite.
lVI.—(r2'sing' Ittrslily and rctzc/ring a piece)
There take that, and hold your tongue? Eat it
tip quick, I hear Ben coining. Now doti‘t tell
liitrt _voii’ve had an .
(Ben cnlcrs) C.—I've had a piece of cake ;
you catt‘i have any.
Ben—Ycs I will : mother give rrte a piece.
M.—-There. take that ; it secrits asif I never
could keep a bit ofany thing in the house. You
see, sir, ((0 the child) if you get any thing next
time.’
(Another roam) C.—I’ve had a piece ofcalte!
Younger Sister~—Ob, I want some too.
C.—\Vcll, you butcl, atttl irtotl;cr‘ll give you
a piece. I did.
Let us see now many errors were coniminefj
by the mother during this short conversation. In
the first place she tells a downright lie, and the
child detects her iti it. ‘I lt:tvn't any cake.‘
' You have. I saw it in the cupboard.’ Second-
ly, she gives a false reason. ‘ caite lturts children.’
for not gratifying the child’s wishes, at least her
next reply would lead ltim to suppose so.
Tbirdly. she eitcouragestlte child to cry for what
he desires, by otferirtg. as a reward for leaving
off. the gratification which he could not obtain
by continued good humor. Fourtltly. site ltreaks
her promise antl l't'.‘\\’Hl'l.iS the child for crying in
tlisttbeyittg her. Fifthly, she fosters a spirit of
selfish greediness. the lowest and most debuts-Eng,
of all passions; ‘ eat it quick, anddon’i tell Bert.’
Sixtltly, she utters a threat which she has no in-
tention of acting upon;_‘see ifyou get any next
time!’ VVe must tiientioii, also, the spirit by
which her conductthrotigh the whole is marked.
and which makes the child feel that she has at
least yielded to ltis wishes, not because she loves
him, but in order to save herself the vexation of
being teazed any longer. The practical com-
mentary which he makes in his advice to his sis-
ter shows that be fully understands the springs
of her domestic machinery.
Yet this is probably a mother wlin loves her
oflsprittg, who is toiling early and late for their
comfort and respectability, but who will perhaps
ltave to cotitplain that her old age is embittered
by the neglect and unkiridness ofher children
They are not wholly in the fault. A mother
rnav sacrifice her health, and life itself. for lter
faniily. and yet not maltetbcm happy, aitd ifshe
does not make them happy, they will not value
her. A child cannot comprehend tl.e value of
that affection which keeps his mother busy frotn
morning till night, when her industry is con-
tinually crossing the track of his enjoyment;
when it is made. an apology for petulauce, injus-
tice and neglect by those little things which
make up the happiness of chilrlltood. Nothing
but a constant, hourly flow ofkindness, prompt
in gratifying, gentle itt refusing—-a kindness
which knows no ebb, unruffled by passion, urt-
polluted by._selfishness-—- can gain the entire con-
fidence and affection ofa child. I ought also to
add, that a motlter who has ittatle herselfan ob-
ject of contempt to her cliildren cannotjustly
claim their dc-fereitce and respect. attd such she
surely will be, if. in lter management of thetri,
she stoops to the meanness of deceit and false-
hood. The pure erinoblitig sentiment of filial
piety, can spring up only in an atntosphere of
trutlt and love. In its nature it is akin to that
which is exercised towards the beueficent Father
of all. and required for its full expansion the
same influences of rectitude and goodness.
A mart married against his Will.
C . who had been captain on ltalfpay, of
the British service, lodged several years ago iii
the Exchange Coliee House, which was their
kept by an old couple, whose age prevented
their attending properly to their business. oblig-
ing them to confide ii: the n’ianEtgeli‘teitl of a bar
ntsiid. upon whom they placed much dependence,
and to whom they paid a liberal salary. As C ’s
circumstances were not aliluenl, as is generally
the case with half pays—and he was besides. of
an extravagant turit of mind, necessity often
compelled ltitn to borrow money. at tlitfvrotit
times, frotrt the bar-maid, who was a prudt-nt
woman, and ltad laid by the savings of a few
years. He lived in the house forsevcral mouths
togeilier; during which titne he paid great a‘-
ieiition to her, making love to her every oppor-
ttinity. and always promising marriage, of
which by Ilte bye, he had not the slightest notion.
As he was continually making one excuse or
another for delaying the nuptials, and he was
to ltiiti, she determined oti having the irtan or the
"“’”€)'l and going into his room one llittrnltla,
‘1_S he lay in bed. tlettiaztdiitg that he should
either pay her what she had lent l.im, or im-
mcdiately fulfill his oft repeated promise of niar-

but it would not do—slie was rcsolved. she said.
to be no longer triflcd with. as she had been lbr
months back, but to have justice itnutcdirtiely
done. She then produced a marriage liceizsc,
which she had previously procured, and in-

Spring.
BY REV. D. B.
Sweet spring has come, sweet spring has come;
Her steps are on the hills;
She breathes upon the vallies now——
She brcatltes upon the rills.
She fills the air with singing birds,
She brings refreshing showers;
She clothes the earth in living green,
She Opcs tltc fragrant flowers.
VVe hear her music in the woods,
\Vc hear it in the air;
We hear ittn the gurgling streams,
\Ve hear it every where.

Haliflu: IIarbor. 28th tlltzrclr I838. i
Mr. Howe, Sir———t\'lay I lteg the favor ofyoiir
giving ittsertion to the following statement:
Oil-()tir passage from England to this port,
when in latitude 42 N. and longitude -12 ‘.V. we
observed a sail liatil up to us, apparently with
the desire of speaking this ship. I immediate-
lv closel with her. and found it to be the Ameri-
Jan ship ‘Commerce.’ and from Charleston,
bound to Liverpool, coirtmantlcd by Captain
Perry. and that his object in cotniiiunicnting
with us, was, to beg that we would receive oit
t,,,,,r,] pan ortlie crew of the ‘ Elizabeth Caro-
line,’ of St. Stephen's. New Brunswick, which
vessel he liatl niet, tlisznastetl and watcrloggctl.
in latitude 39 N. longitude 45 W. and had taken
all the crew oil the wreck six days pre,viously.
These unfortunate persons hail been 22 tlays
on the forcastle of their vessel. lasltetl to the
windlass. exposedto every sea. with barely sulfi-
cient footl to sustain life. and all the. water that
tliev had remaining was but two gallons, when
the-’ Commerce’ fell in with her.
My motive in detailing to you these particu-
lars, is principally to express my atlmiration, and
that of all under my coititiiarttl, at the generous
and httttiaiie conduct ofCaptain Perry, asit has
been made known to us by the men belonging to
the Elizabeth Caroline.
It appears that the Commerce fell lit with
this wreck by the tnerest cliittioe. at about half
past nine at night, oti the -‘I-tlt of March; and
that on hearing the cries nftltt: crew, the Coin-
tnerce instantly shortened sail, \V()l't1 round, and
went close alongside oftlie waterlogged vesscl—-
Captain -[t’et‘t-‘y hailing them in these cheering
words, astltc men have tltcmsclves represented:
‘Keep up your hearts, boys. there is too riittch
sea to board you now, but I will never leave you
it“ [ take you off.’ And tlirnugh the uiglit be
twice or tlfrice passed round tlietti, repeating
those consoling words. attd oiiering to veer to
them water and provisions if they were in im-
med ire want ofeiibr-r.
These generous assurances this brave sailor
rigidly fulfilled. and after per:-tevetingly keeping
closeio the vessel for two nights and a day.
blowing very hard all the time, he at length sitc-
ceedetl in getting the people all out ofltcr ittto
the Conitiicice, where he clothed them, and
treated them with kiiidttess. which, as they
gratefully say. they never can forget, or will
cease to ac‘.:nowletlge. .
In thus making known the exemplary con-
dtict of Capt. Perry. it is with sorrow l have to
draw a disgraceful contrast on the part ofa
vessel barque rigged, which on the very morning
ufihe day it-at the Commerce fell in with the
Elizabeth Caroliite, hauled tip within three
milesofthe ttreclt, and took in her sttzdding
sails; yet, though the weather \\'aS.lll(3ll line. she
ltore up again to the eastward without t>lT:'l'll),l_'
the slightest assistance, her object thus evidently
seeinitig to have been plituder: and that on dis-
coverir.iz living persoris on board of the Elizabeth
Caroline, which would have rendered this de-
sign abortive, she at once abandoned them to
their fate. .
For the honor of the two nations, it is to be
hoped that those who actetl thus inhunianly, did
not belong to either England or America. thooglt
the crew of the shipwrecked vessel. I regret to
say, believe-her to be English ; but to whatever
