And rapture in each heaving breast
And many a-high and fervent vow '

We knew, alas Wtbat we must part,

ADVENTURES OF A PRINTER.
A ROMANCE.
By the steamer Cherokee, the editor of the
Trenton (N. J.) State Gazette, has received a
letter dated at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, Jan.
1, 1850, from an old friend and fellow printer,
whose adventures have been so much out of the
common order that we extract a part of his let.
ter for the amusement of our readers. The
writer lelt New York in 1840, as a full private
in Col. Stevenson's regiment, \fter the wars
were over, he remained in California, where he
was employed hf'(ren;':Nal|ojo as a carpenter
at the time the gold mines were discovered.?
He, ol course, took his chahces at gold digging,
hut coon .ihandoned the httsinesR When last
heard Irom, (previous to the reception of the
nrcsent letter) he was one of the publishers of
the California!!. -*He writes that he soon abandoned
this speculation. He concludes his adventures
for the present 1>y being wrecked one
day on Honolulu, and marrying the daughter of
the chief oI the village on the following Sunday.
But let bitn speak for liitnselt:
"The paper was slow pay-in those times, so
I sold out my interest, and gained one or two
thousand dollars, which I spent. Speculated a
little, however, and did well?failed in some
things, hut made up ir? others.
"On the 9th of October last, in company with
seven, I left San Francisco on a# visit to the
'B.-autifu! islands,' intending afterwards to sail
to China, m ike our way overland to Russia,
! uhert? I had an uncle, and thence to England.
where 1 could take passage for home. On the
28th, at noon, when we were within two leagues
of Honolulu, it came on to blow a gale. We
stood off and succeeded in worrying out the gale,
but just as we were entering the mouth ot the
harbor, it came onto blow very hard from the
northwest, and in five minutes we were hard
and fast on the shore. I rushed to my chest
tor my dimes, and had barely lime to secure
the u when the hull pat ted, keeled over and fill,
ed. 1 secured a spar, and clung to it and the
dust like-'grim death to a deceased African.'?
Af r being in the water about three quarters of
an hour, lashed by the surf and bruised by the
spar, I gained the shore. I kissed the earth
where I first stepped, and determined never to
leave it. Having 65 pounds of gold dust about
my person, besides three or four hundred doltars
in gold coin, I was completely exhausted,
and turned in ti>r the night (lor night it began to
be) under a cocoa nut tree, where I slept sound.
ly milil 12 or 1 o'clock, when 1 awrtlre so stiff
w tli cold and to>e from my bruises tiiat i could
scarcely move 'To tny great joy?I discovered
a fire about half a mile lo the west. It proved
to be a village of the natives, (kanakas,) who.
on learning (by signs) my misfortune, stirred
tip the fire, gave me some boiled jsirk, bread
fiuil, yams, and a variety ofeating matter. Af
tor I had disposed of this I turned in on some
trials, where I slept soundly until sunrise, when
I arose.

to (lie chief of the village. Me i* of high rank
and much respected. His name is Kanni, and
he is rela'cd In I lie k inn ofthe islands. He was
very polite, spoke English fluently, offered me
a hou>e, suuie land, and his daughter in marriage,
if I would live with his tribe and instruct
them as lar as 1 was a hie, in the arts of civilization.
( thanked hiin for his offer, and told
h mthaf I would think over the matter.
' After this interview, I went down to the
beach, accompanied by a party of the natives,
to look after the. wreck, but nothing could be
seen save the spar on which 1 came ashore.?
When I discovered the sad result of the storm f
sat down on the beach and wept like a child.
I had lost the only" friends I have ba,d since f
left rny horn*. Bu: tears are of no avail, so I I
made op my mind to hear it, and to accept the
offer of the chief arid become his son. 1 according!)'
on my return to the village informed
the chief that I would accept his offer. He immediately
introduced me to the fair one. Her
name is Niaara (Mary.) She is of a li?ht cop.
per, fourteen years old. 5 feet 4 inches high,
small hand and foot, black hair and eyes, and
above all very affectionate. J for dress consisted
of a faded blue satin . kirt, mocassins and
legging", and a curiously wrought head dress.
15he was by no means bashful and none too inod;
est. She sat on tny knee and kissed me, and.
when f asked bpr if she would marry me, she
said yes without the slightest hesitation and expressed
a wish that the ceremony should take
pace on the following Sunday, saying that a
mutinnspv o/milri hp thern on that dav. This
[ agreed to, when she rewarded me with a kiss
and ran off to her father.
The following day I visited the capital and
purchased the wedding dresses for my lady and
myselfj together with some presents for the tribe j
and on Sunday'we twain were made one flesh.'
On Monday, my father-in law, at my request,
set several men at work at getting out eocoa'
nut Jogs to build tnv house, and in the course of
t-n days a very substantial dwelling, 40 feet
front, 25 feet deep, and 25 feet high was completed.
This is the only building of the kind
in the village, all the others being built of reeds
n?rt mtwl The rhii?f is verv much nloased with
it, and I hope within u year the whole village
will he of log hoiwf.s. I hare promised to furnish
axes and all other tools, and I think the
natives will build themselves better houses.

and think that mine is a peculiar happy lot, af.

A young man meets a pretty face in the hall- 1

goes to house keeping with it and boasts of .
having a home to go to, and a wife. The .
chances are nine to ten he has neither. Her

jaded, or freckled, or fretted?and, as that face
was all that he wanted, all he, "paid attention J

he-swore* to Move, honor and protect," he gets ^
sick of his trade ; knows a dozen faces he likes

consoles himself with cigars and oysters, whis- .
key punch, and politics, and looks upon his ^
home as a very indifierent boarding-house.?

The Source of the Mississippi.?The <
Mississippi rises in the Northern parlol the Tor

situated in lat. 47 deg. 13 min. 35 sec. N?
long. 65 deg. 2 min. W. The elevation o
ihis lake above the Gulf of Mexico, .is abouj
1575 feet. The length ofthe Mississippi is es
limated at 2890 miles. Within a circuit o
ess than one hundred miles around the source
sf the Mississippi, rivers rise which find outlets
in Hudson's Bay, to the North, the St. Lawrence
on the East, and the Gulf of Mexico at
he South. Indeed, there are, in the vicinity,
iprings within a few feet of each other, whose
waters are discharged into rivers the outlets ol
which are some 6000 miles apart. The Mis>issippi
itself, runs North at first, and then Enst,

I'-he'river is navigable continuously for steamroatn

teamboats for a considerable distance above

i CALHOUN'S TEMPLE AND STATUE>
The Council of Charleston, deeming it due
to the illustrious reputation of the late Mr. CaL
houn, determined to erect a temple to contain
* Mr. Powers'8 classic statue of our lamented
: Statesman. Prom' the plans advertised, and
I submitted, they have selected the beautiful design
of our townsman, E. B. White, esq. Architect.
We have been kindly favored-witb a Daguerreotype
copy oft he design, which our reader*
are invited to examine at our office.
We uudersland the templo is tii be of whtfa
marblp, its form -or plan is octagonal. -'"The

will ascend to ^"iSarWe pRvement; in tbecen.
tre of which, the statute will he placed.Tn
each oflhe eight sides of the building, will he
an arched opening; and at each ofthe eight an*
gles, will be a pier and attached Corinthian
columns. These columns will be surmounted
by an entablature, with modillion cornice. The
frieze of the cornice will lie encircled with
Acanthus, and entwined with medallions, hear,
ingthe arms of the State, the City, and other
appropriate insignia. "
From the entablature, springs a dome roof,
composed of sixteen enriched marble ribs, terminating
at the apex, with an exquisite and
highly wrought marble lineal. The panel#
between the ribs of the dome will consist of \
glass, through which light will be introduced
upon the'statue below. The glass panels will
have two parallel faces. The exterior ones,
being about an inch thick, will imitate white
marble, and will be rendered semi-translucent,
by a chemical process of hydrofluoric acid.
The interior panels wijl be of white glass," with
appropriately enamelled figures. The frieze %
within the temple will be enriched with sculp*
tured work, representing the funeral procession
of Air. Calhoun in Charleston. Gas will be so
introduced, as to illuminate the building at night,
and so managed as to throw a very soft and im*
oosine licrht around the statue*
The clear interior of tfie temple will be a lit.
tie over twcnty.two feet; and its entire height,
from the ground to the topofthefineal, forty .sis
feet.
On the second step, at each angle of the.buiU
ding, will he placed eight pedestals, supporting
a like number of marble vases. lit' each of
t hese will be cdltivated rare plants and .flowers,
emblems of our constant and perennial remem.
