A short time before her death she called |

Ellen had heard of a far-oil" place, where

oncst livelihood, by the labor of their bauds,
ud she resolved to seek it. She, therefore, c
old the wreck of their property, and taking
ter brother with her, then but nino years.,]
Id. she bent hor wav to her "Granite State. '*

iiai nigui, would ho have deemed her ueartAt
last, by the most rigid economy, Elan
gained the sunitpit of her ambition, which
raft to place her brother at school bra neighboring
Strtto. Allowing herself no rest, no
elaxation she surrounded him with every
Omfort her slender means would allow,
denying herself every mental ndvantngo she
ifTorded him every facility for study, caroally
concealing from hint the toil and privnions
tboy cost Iter.
Tlio departure of her brother left Ellen, as
t wore, alone; yet she was not alone. He
van still with her, upon whoso strong arm
he had evor leaned w ith tho confiding trust
if childhood.
Three, four flee years passed slowly round,
et still pursued her quiet way. The report
if her brother's rapid progress in his studies,
ho early talent lie exhibited, filled her proud
renrt with iov. and rWwl ^f
oil. And though lior pale brow grew slid
mler, and her slight form more sh/ulowy in
Is 'proportions, the same clear, hopeful light
>enmed in her eye, the same holy smile play<1
around her li|M. Though her woman's
land sometimes failed her, her purpose nevr
wnveretl, her strong heart never faltered.
At the close of it long sultry day in Angst,
wearied by the day s toil, she seated Iierclf
by the open window, and resting her
iend upon her hand, seemed "to slumber,
ho cool summer breeze came softly in, kissng
the pale check and gently lifting the soft
lark hairs from her wan broTt . The drums
timed in their ceaseless motions, and the
lash of iron wheels sounding like the far-off
nurmur of the sea, rose on every side?yet
till she slumbered on. Kindhearted maidus
glided around her heavy looms guiding
>r cheeking their rapid motion. The form
?f him whoso quick eyo notliiug escaped
asscd her narrow alley?hut she heeded
hem not. Repassing, struck by her stange
option, and thinking she still slumbered,
le apjwonched her; but the eye so quick to
erceive his coming, and the hand so ready
o obey his bidding moved not.
Rending his head, ho spoke to her, hut
ho auswereo not. lie laid his hand gently
rj>on the'howed head, hut it only drooped j
et lower. Surprised, lie unclasped tho sfen-'
ler fingers from the cold brow?but he might
lot arouse her. She slept quietly and sweet-1
y, "that sleep that knows no wakening."
Amid the busy sounds of labor, the wild
lamor of that noisy and dusty room, her
pirit had broken its earthly fetters and soard
up through the dark wall and rolling
limn, Out into God's pure air and bright
urisking?up ! up ! on child of earth ! up

I The conception . being matured in the ar

| giving form to it, is to erect, on a firm po
destnl, a skeleton <?f iron, whose height,
bredth, ami limbs, nro determined by the
size and shape of the proposed statue. In

with branches, first at tho shoulders, miming
down forward for the arms, then at tho hips. I

tmnk, and thenco divided in two for the
legs. Al?ont this strong simple frame is now
ronghlv built, with wet clay, the pro-determined
image. Rapidly is this moulded into
jui Approximation to the human form; and
when tlie trunk, head, and limbs have been
definitely shaped, then begins the close labor
of tho mind. The living models are
sutiiiiioued, aiid by their aid the surface is
wrought to its last stage of finish. With !
these breathing figures before liiin, and
through his precise knowledge of the form 1
I and expression of every part of the human |
hotly, obtained from the study of nature and j
bis own deep arti?tic intentions, tbc clay under
his hand gradually grew into life, as it
j assumed the elestie, vital look, which no
! There auitomical knowledge or craft can
gK^bnt which is imparted by the gonial
sympathy with nature's living forms in alliance
with a warm sensibility to the beautiful
qualities which crown and render effectual
the other less elevated endowments for art.
Thus, by the most minute manual labor,
directed by those high and retiud mental
gifts, the day model of the 'Slave' was
j wrought out; and hero the artist's work
j ended ; the creation waa complete. The

This young warrior, when those events oc- j

the age of tweiity-0110 his heroic deeds had
acquired for him, among his people,The rank
of ' bravest of the brave.'
' The savage practices of torturing and |
hnrning to death their prisoners excited in 1
this nation. An nntbrtmiate female, taken t
r _ ? j
in war with the lhvlucah nation, was dos-'
lined to this horrible death. The fatal
hour had arrived : the trembling victim, far,
from Inane and her friends, was fastened to'
the stake ; the whole tribe wire assembled '
oh the surrounding plain, to witness the
awful scene. Just as the wood was about
to be kindled and. the spectators were on the
tiptoe of expectation, this young warrior,
who sat composedly among the chiefs, having
before prepared two licet horses, with 1
the necessary provisions, sprang from his
seat, rushed through the crowd, loosed the
victim, seized her in his arms, placed her on
one of the horses, mounted the other himself,
and made the utmost speed towards the nation
and friends of the captive. The multitude,
dumb and nerveless with amazement
at the daring deed, made no more effort to!
rescue their victim from her deliverer. Tliev1

return to the villiage, such wn> the respect
entertained for liiin that no inquirr was
made into his conduct; no censure was pas- j

A correspondent of the Xew Orleans Pic
avuue, from Baltimore, in n letter dated I
November 18, gives tho followidg gossip j
about tlio American brunch of the great Bonaparte
family, which wc may say, wiil be
found quite readable :
4 Jeroine Bonaparte, son of Jerome and :
nophetf of Emperor Naj>oleont w ho was on i
a visit to his cousin, the present Emperorl/cu
is Napoleon, is in our city. While fu
France, himself and his son Lieut, Houripnrb
wereboth naturalized, and made citizens ofthe
French Empire. The father also had j
conferred upon him the title of Prince, and
the son was appointed to a Lieutenancy in j
the French army. Our Baltimore Prince, ,
howevur, seems to bear his title lienors{
with becoming republican simplicity. Hoi
assumes no airs beyond uo ordinary citizens, i
aiul is seen daily mingling in the avocations'
to business. The main passion and pleasure'
of life appears to he the obtaining, training
and cultivation of horses. If [ mistake not
lie would rather hold the reins, and drive a
span of noble animals, with a haudsomo c$
tablishment, tlian wear tlio Imperial crown.
IE& entertains no political ambition, lie hrisi
ndver aspired to it and probablv never will.!

to despise, republican America, and yearn*
for imperial sway ; Vet her aeU are almost
democratic, l'oswssing an immense fortune,
she chouses to live in a plain hoarding house,
without oven nsuit of rooms or an establish*

of remarkable beaut}', priding herself upon
having tho smoothest, fairest skin of any

office, visiting brokers, bankers, and other
men of business, collecting rents, buying
stock; and participating in other speculative,

presided in the export warehouse of
Madras, Mr. Davidson, who acted under him,
waafone morning nt breakfast asked by Mr.
Ormc of what profession his father was. lie
replied that ho was a saddler.
"And piny," said Mr. Oruio, "why did'nt
he make you a saddler?"
"I was always whimsical," said Mr. Davidson,
"and rnlher chose to try my fortune; as
you have done, in the Fast India Company's
service. Dot prav, sir," continued lie, "what
profession was vour father?"
. "My Cither," answered the historian, rather
sharply, "was a gentleman."
"And why," retorted Davidson, with great
simplicity, "Jid he not breed you up a geuthm.m
?"
A vorxo mart of Cincinnati, rt carpenter

nine thousand dollars, by the death of his
uncle who resided in lialtimore. Ho immediately
gave up his situation, and going

six months, in bis overweening anxiety, ho
sold bis claim for eight thousand dollars.
With this sum he returned to Cincinnati,

ever had a sham hero who conies up to tho

less time to do than I to ,tell it. I saw another
