mechanic could not forbear a sigh, as the thought fiitted across his mind, that pos- stbly he might lose some of his home corn- forts. But that sigh was momentary; he remembered the promise of GOCI. imfl grew calmly peaceful. Entering his house, he said to his wife, “Mary, I am discharged l” “Discharged, Frank! VVhat has hap- pened? Q, what will becoineof us? 'Iell me why you are discharged!” “ “Be calm, Mary. God will provide! I left the shop because I would not break the Sabbath. They wanted me to work to-morrow, and because I refused, they discharged me.” . Mary was silent. She looked doubtful, as if not quite sure that her husband was right. Her faith was not so strong as ‘Frank's, nor was her character so decided. ‘In her heart she thought, as thousands of fearful disciples would, under similar cir- cumstances, that her husband had gone too far; -but although she said nothing. Frank read. her thoughts, and grieved over her want of faith. Sweet was the hour of family prayer to Frank that eventng; sweeter still was the secret devotion of the closet, and he never closed his eyes with more heavenly calm. ness of spirit,'than when he sunk to sleep on that eventful evening. The following week brought Frank's character to a severer test. All his friends condemned him; even some members of his church said thev thought he had gone beyond the strict requirement of duty.- “ It was well,” they said, “to keep the Sabbath; but then, a _man like Frank lid- wards, ought to look at the wants of his family, and not strain at a goat, and per- haps be compelled to go to the work- Iiousc.” - This was dastardly language for Chris- tians, but there are always too many of this class of irresolute sight-walking dis- ciples. Frank met them on all sides and found himself without sympathy. A few noble, enlightened Christians, however, admired and enco-urged him. Frank held ‘ to his purpose with a spirit worthy of a martyr. The cloud grew darker. Through the influence of his former employers, who were vexed because he left them, the other corporations refused to employ him. ’\Vtnter came on with its frosts and storms. His little stock of savings grad- ually disappeared. Poverty stared them in the face; Frank’s watch, Mary’s silver iipooris, ‘.l:’.:i‘.' best furniture, went to the auction shop. They had to leave their pleasant cottage, and one little garret held the little afflicted family and the slender remains of their cottage furniture. Did Frank regret his devotion to God»! No! he rejoiced in it. He had obeyed ‘God, he said, and God would take care of. him. Light would break out of darkness; all would yet be well. So spoke his un- yielding faith; his fixed heart doubted not. The blacker the cloud, the more piercing grew the eye of his triumphing faith. With his Mary the case was dif- ferent. Her faith was weak, and pressing her babes to her bosom, she often wept, and bent before the sweeping storm. The winter passed away, and Frank was siill in the fiery furnace, rejoicing, how- ever, ami lst the flames. Some friends offered him the means -of emigrating to the United States. Here was a light gleam. He rejoiced in it, and prepared to quit a place which refused him bread because he feared God. ‘Behold him! that martyr-rneclianic, on board the emigrant shiy. Her white sails catch the favoring breeze, and with a soul full of hope, Frank looked toward this western world. A short, pleasant passage brought them to one of our Atlantic cities. Here he soon found that his faith had not been misplaced. The first week of his arrival saw him notimerely employed, but fillingthe station, of foreman in the -cstablishinent of some extensive machin- ists. Prosperity now smiled on Frank, and Mary once more rejoiced in the possession of home comforts. They lived in it style far better and more comfortable than when in their English cottage. “ Mary,” Frzink would often ask, pointing to their charm- ing little parlor, “is it not best to obey God I” 1 Mary could only reply to this question with smiles and tears; for everything around them said, “ Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and re- ' specteth not the proud; surely he shall not be moved forever.” But Frank’s trials were not over. A similar claim for Sabbath labor was made upon him in his new situation. An engine fora railroad or steamboat was broken, and must be repaired. “You will keep your men employed tliroogh to-morrow, Mr. Edwards; so that the engine may be finished on Monday morning,” said the chief overseer. “I cannot do it, sir.” I cannot break the Lord’s day. I will work until midnight on Saturday, and begin directly after mid- night on Monday morning; God’s holy time I will not touch.” - “That woii’t do, Mr. Edwards; you must work your men‘ through the Sabbath, or the owners will dismiss you.” “Be it so sir ;” re l' d F k ' p re ran . i crossed the Atlantic because I would not work on the Sabbath; I will not do it here.” Monday came, the work was unfinished. Frank expected his discharge. \Vhile at work, a gentleman inquired for him; “ I i-.i_sh you to go with me to , to take charge of my establishment; will you ol”, ‘ . I “I don I know,” replied Frank. “ If, as lexpcct, my present employers dismiss me,l will go; if they do not, I have no wish» to leave.” ' "Tb.is» is settled. They intend to dis- (6 miss you, and I know the reason ;.I honor you for it,.a-ad wish you to enter my es- tablishment.” _ Here again our mechanic saw the hand of Goal. Ilia rlt-t-ision had again broiiglitl up - gm.-p him into trial, and God had come to his aid. "The new situation for which he had just engaged was worth much more than the one he was to leave.

July '2. \Vhile General (then Colonel) Taylor was serving in Florida he captured many negroes in his conflicts with the Indians. Mziny of these negroes were claimed by persons in Georgia and Alabama, from whose service or from the service of whose fathdrs it was contended they had esca- ped. Agents on behalf of the claimants were despatched to Colonel Taylor, seek- ing to recover them. Proof of identity of the persons claimed as slaves was proffered an the right of property insisted upon.—— Col. 'l'aylor refused to allow the claim, or even examine it. He had come to Florida to serve in the army against the Indians, not to act as a negro-catcher. His com- mission, he said, gave _him no judicial powers-,and he could not assume to deter- iriine matters beyond his province. The tlisiippoirrted and enraged applicants after having tried in vain other means to operate upon Colonel Taylor favorably, carried their complaints to the Secretary of War. He entertained their view of the case. In consequence an order issued from the Department Ti-‘as addressed to Major General Jessup, then commanding in Florida, directing the surrender of the captured negroes to the agent of the claimants. A similar order was issued to Col. Taylor. The following is his reply, as copied from the record in the War De- partment : “ IIEAD Quxnrrzns, Ar-my ofilie South, 2 Tainpa, (Floi'ida,) Juno 2, 1848 S “ General--I have the honor to ac- knowledge your communication of the 10th of May, 1838, accompanied by one of the 9th, from the Commission of Indian Affairs, addressed to Capt.

Locofocoism is well aware that the Whigs just now are peculiarly sensitive upon the subject of letters from Gen. Tay- lor, and hence they are supplying the de- mand for them in their party, with avidity and in abundance. Forgery will be as nrzscrupulously resorted to, as it ever was in the warmest election times. We see an extract from a letter in the Tribune, copied from a southern not Whig paper, wit/tout date or name to person. sent, in which Gen. Taylor i_s represented as saying “ he would have accepted the nom- ination of the Baltimore Convention, had it been tendered him on the same terms as the Philadelpliia Convention.” From Gen. Taylor’s reiterated determination, expressed to many friends, to write no more letters for publication, we believe this among many other letters to be like the one that preceded it the other day—a forgery, ‘or if not a forgery, so connected with other 'expressions in a context from which it is taken, as to bear no offensive VVhig meaning. . The Whigs must be green, very green, who can now, after the successive expe- rience of former years, be caught by such Locofoco forgciies. No letter from Gen. Taylor should now be deemed genuine unless it comes before us under the respon- sibility of some well known, respectable man. Forged letters will be as plenty as blackberries.

Trii: Wmow AND DAUGH PER or LA!-‘ITT. —We stated a day or two ago, that the widow and daughter of M. Lafitte, the eminent banker to whose assistance Louis Philippe owed, if not his crown at least the means of supporting its dynasty at the cornmenceirient of his reign, had arrived in this country as stccrage passengers. “Fe have since learned that they came out in the ship Splendid, Captain Crawford,“-hicli reached this port on the 18th inst. They are now in Boston, and, if we are rightly informed, seeking employment as teachers. The daughter, if we mistake not, is the wife or widow of one of the sons of the late Marshal Bertrand. It was not the de- sire of concealment but absolute poverty‘ which compelled them to come out to this country in the steerage. They had not, it is said, even the means of paying for the humble accommodations between decks, and their passage was not paid until after their arrival in this country. Madame La- fitte and her daughter are ladies of the most. exemplary character, and highly accom- plished. During the time that M Lafitte was Minister of Finance, they were courted and caressed by the proudest nobility of France, and their magnificent salons were nightly crowded with the representatives of foreign courts and the elite of the beauty, rank and fashion of Europe. What a change! However, their ungrateful King Louis Philippe is said to be not much bet- ter off, and that is some consolation. FORGERY —A forgery was brought to light in this city last week, cifiiiting con- siderable talk. Four young men were en- gaged‘ in it—all apprentices, and under twenty years of age; two from the book- bindery of Brown 8: Drake, and two from the bindery of Charles F. Judd. The name of the principal operator (as is supposed) is Oakley, son of the Rev. Mr.Oakley, for- merly pastor of the Methodist Church in this city. He is represented as rather a bad boy, who was evidently not brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, or else he has sadly fallen from grace. The names of the others are Francis Harris, Woodbridge Moore, and Sumner Cotton. One is supposed to have forged the signa- tures, another to have contrived the plan, another to have presented the checks, and the fourth to have been implicated by the receipt of hush money —Hartford Gaz.

When she arrived at the bottom of the ladder, she cliined with increasing speed along the side of the hill, under the over- hanging _rocks, to the place from above whence she had started, and descending a few steps she was observed trying to raise-. and carry some object, which the ‘gentle-» men, who had watched her movements- with increasing interest, soon became satis- fied was a child that had fallen overthe pre- cipice.’ They hastened to the end of the bridge and sent down some men who ‘had. not known of the accident. little girl 7 or 8 years of age, was lashed to the back of one of the men,and brought up alive, although greatly injured, having one or both of her legs broken,and one eve considerably bruised, but she will probably recover. killed, is truly astonishing, as it must have fallen over 100 feet perpendicularly, with- out any tliing to im broken stones below.
